The Rowan
North Star
⭐️Rowanthwaite North Star⭐️
Ah, dear friend,You’re here to gaze at our Rowan Star, this is where you can see her shining the brightest, our ‘thwaite’ - Our Sacred Clearing.
The air is a bit sharper at this height, isn’t it?The Rowanthwaite Angel tells me that they aren't just lights in the sky, they are ancient promises kept.I come to this clearing whenever I need to remember that there is a bigger story unfolding than the one I can see from my cottage window.Up here, under our Rowan North Star, it’s easier to hear what my soul is trying to say.Dearest, tonight I’m here to put my word for the year in the Blessed Star Jar… would you like to as well?You would? Of course …It’s very simple, all you need to do is feel, what is your heart whispering to you for 2026?Mr. Wise Owl predicts this will be our best year yet, but he’s always told me that a great journey doesn't need a map, it just needs a single, true word to guide the way.Close your eyes for a moment,
Take a breath.
Just look for a feeling… Is it Rest?
Is it Bravery? Or perhaps just... Light?Take your time, there’s no rush, feel the Rowan star guiding your heart.
Do you have your guiding word?
and it feels right?
open your eyes …now write it down here on this scroll 📜
That’s it,Now, send it out to the Rowan Star, … that’s it …Look! - See the lights and Blessings bursting from the sky?Dearest, your Heart’s Guiding Word for 2026 has now been sent out to the star ⭐Hooray!
Now, our scrolls we keep safely in the Star Jar. In the Soul Library on the special shelf until the coming New Year’s Eve.Then we come here again, give thanks for our Blessings, and feel our new Guiding Word, and do it all over again … Perhaps you will be here again.The Rowan Star leaves us a Blessing too.. the faeries find the gold envelope with a red seal under the Rowan tree every year.Here they are now, thank you faeries, shall we read it?
⭐️WAY MARKER THREE
⭐️ Continue your Winter Pilgrimage … make your way to …
Back to the Village Hall for a cup of tea 🫖 …
Dearest ones,I have been watching over this clearing since the first Rowan tree took root.Your guiding words for 2026 are now written in star-light.As the earth turns and your new year begins to unfold, I will stay exactly here.Fixed, steady, and shining over you all.When the path ahead feels dim, or the winds grow loud,look up.My light will dispel the darkness.My light will always guide you safely home.Go well, dearests of Rowanthwaite. Be brave, be bold, be true.I am with you all ✨For always.
Oh that is lovely isn’t it!Your word for 2026 is sealed with star-light and placed in our Star Jar on the secret shelves of our Soul Library.Now, you have completed two Way-Markers already in the Pilgrim Path, gosh, you are doing well, are you ready to continue to your next destination?Or do you need to warm up with a cup of tea back at the Village Hall, whichever you choose is perfect …
That’s lovely isn’t it!Oh dearest you look cold,Now then you can either go on to the wishing well and toss a New Year coin, to ‘seal’ your wish and word.Or, you can walk down to the Village Hall for hot apple cider and no doubt a sing-song or two.Yes, it’s that way for the well to make a wish, …or that way for the village hall. The faeries will come with you. Mr. Wise Owl and I have more folk coming up to the clearing now.. see their lanterns below? …All right dearest, keep warm,
follow the faeries… ✨🪽mind your steps, they will show you the way…
We will be down shortly …
