Heart of Faerie Oracle
30. The Green Woman
Subtlety / Beauty / Fruition
Just as there is a balance of masculine and feminine energy in all of us, there is that same balance of energy in all of nature. The Green Woman is the subtle "greening" of the world, the gentle flow of energy, creativity, inner strength, full of moisture and the nurturing qualities of plant life. She cradles us in her strong arms and soothes us with the healing energy of all that is beautiful, rather than awesome, in nature. When you observe the delicate ivy surrounding an ancient oak tree, when you smell a flower and marvel at the beauty of its form and color, you honor the strength and the subtlety of the Green Woman. When she appears before you in a reading, let her powerful, gentle energy surround and nurture you. A relationship calls for gentle "greening" sometimes. Tread softly and gently to bring a relationship to fruition in its tentative stages. Be strong in your convictions, but gentle in the manner in which you present them, and you emulate the Green Woman.
