Pomona is a Roman goddess who carries the symbolisms
pertaining to Nature, to pleasure and rest.
She is all about flowers and orchards and I happen to live in the fruit
basket of Canada and the cherries are ready for picking. She is concerned about gardening tools for
the care of Mother Earth’s bounties.
First fruits were offered to her and I will place some of my first
picked cherries to her after this weekend when we go pick some at one of the
orchards.
Pomona reminds us to work hard and then rest. Enjoy the flowers before you eat of the
fruits. Surround yourself with green and
leafy things, eat your greens, wear greens, smell the flowers. Gather flower petals to use in art, to use in
potpourri, etc. Show gratitude for
abundance.
Remember to take time to enjoy the fruits of your
labors; physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. Consider the ease of these summer days,
knowing to harvest for an easier winter.
Consider how your body reacts when fed fruits. Consider learning more about how to put up
your harvest that is beginning. Try new
fruit recipes. I have made three rhubarb
pies and will love every bite.
Consider how being close
to Mother Nature fuels your heart and passions.
Consider your spiritual work that you should work on every season but
moreso, right now, as your summer is short time here and soon more difficult
seasons can come. Blessed Be,
sister-friends.
