Welcome to the Rowan Moon Cycle

26/1/2017

The Thinker:
If you were born under the Rowan moon energy you will have a philosophical mind within the zodiac. You are likely a keen-minded visionary, with high ideals. Your thoughts are original and creative, so much so that others often misunderstand from where you are coming. This sometimes makes you aloof when interacting with others as you feel they wouldn’t understand where you are coming from anyway. Nevertheless, although you may appear to have a cool exterior, you are burning within from your passionate ideals. This inner passion provides inner motivation for you as you make your way through life. You have a natural ability to transform situations and people around you by your mere presence. You are highly influential in a quiet way and others look to you for your unique perspectives. Rowan pairs well with Ivy and Hawthorn signs.

Do you know your dominant Character?

23/1/2017

Within each of us, there is a dominant "constitutional tree" around which all the other tree emotions spin - the source from which our deepest impulses issue forth. This tree is our tree type, the primal matrix that initiates and governs our unique existence. We can distinguish five trees, each of which possess an inner landscape as distinct as the desert from the jungle, as different as the pale white leaves of autumn from the vibrant bright leaves of the summer.

A traditional Method for cleaning Rugs.

12/1/2017

A traditional method for cleaning rugs was to give them a good beating to remove as much dust as possible and then lay them face down in fresh snow to draw out residual dirt and freshen the colours.

In Ancient times, a mix of damp tea leaves and lavender heads were sprinkled over rugs and left to absorb dirt and odours before being brushed off.

A DRUID TREE MEDITATION

Ian Claxton

Ian Claxton is a traditional healer and founder of Ogham Tree Flower Essences and Oracles. He is originally from Dublin and trained as a scientist, where he gained a bachelors degree in Biotechnology and later a Masters in Integrative health science. Although he found his career very rewarding, he felt inexplicably drawn to the energy healing practices of eastern Asia. So, in 2001, he decided to leave his life behind and studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (which includes acupuncture and herbal training). He left Dublin and studied in Beijing, China and after that came back to live in Galway in the west of Ireland to set up his practice.

During his studies, he developed a growing interest in the life force, Qi and energetic medicine. He trained as a Celtic shaman in Galway and started to combine his tree/plant training with this practice. He started to combine these modalities together in a complete system of healing.

During this time, he met many Master Shamans and Druids whom he trained under and got guidance from and learnt respect for the spiritual energy of life.

Ian feels honored to have this opportunity to share the knowledge and gifts of this sacred land with people worldwide.
