Blue Lotus & Herkimer Diamond: Solstice Grief Spirit
Solstice Grief Doll with a heart of Blue Lotus & Herkimer Diamond.
The Solstice Grief Spirit is the final doll birthed over the Summer Solstice portal - a grief doll who asks you:
What will you water with your tears?
I formed her heart on the Taurus new moon and finished her in the days coming up to the Cancer new moon. She carries the energy of expansion and growth, channeled through the murky waters of grief.
She invites you to let your tears fall and water the earth around you.
This doll challenges the belief that we need to hide our tears, instead recognizing that they are necessary for growth and transformation. She knows that in order to be fully present in this life, we must be willing to make room for our grief - to live alongside it. We must learn to carry the grief and the joy of life simultaneously. She whispers that in order to step fully into our gifts, we must give our tears room to breathe. We must allow our tears to fall and soak into the parched earth at our feet.
She says, “Watch. Be patient, and listen. See what beauty springs forth.”
This doll carries medicine for all grief, and is particularly aligned with the grief of the Earth. She honors the heartbreak that comes from the loss of our plant and animal kin; her touch is a soothing balm to the land. As her tears fall, the bone dry clay of the Earth cracks open and something beautiful emerges.
She carries the potent energies of Earth and Water, and is connected to the Queen of Cups and the High Priestess in the Tarot. She is deeply rooted in her own Intuitive wisdom, connected to the spirit realm, and able to see the wisdom and beauty of allowing the full, embodied expression of grief.
She has a heart of Blue Lotus & Herkimer Diamond, chosen to amplify her keeper’s connection to spirit allies, dreamwork, Ancestors, and Intuition. They can also provide nervous system support during times of deep grief.
Her dress is adorned with ferns and tears woven with a combination of Corriedale and Merino wool and tussah silk. Each fern holds a bell at its center. Her tears are woven with tussah silk.
What seed or story will you water with your tears? What new world is ready to be born through this portal of heartache?
The Herkimer diamond & blue lotus Solstice Grief Spirit will be available soon on my offerings page.
