Maiden of Gratitude and Joy
Maiden of Gratitude and Joy stands as a radiant symbol of autumn’s sacred cycle, when we release what no longer serves us, allowing the composting of old energy to nourish the seeds of new creation. With her vibrant presence, she reminds us of the transformative power of gratitude and the joy that springs from embracing change.
She is adorned in hues of purple, a color deeply connected to the spirit world, offering us a gentle invitation to turn inward and align with our higher selves. Her braided blue hair represents clarity of thought and the flow of healing waters, guiding us through the inward journey of fall with grace.
At the center of her dress, she wears a large sunflower, a beacon of light even as the days grow shorter. The sunflower, known for its ability to turn toward the sun, symbolizes optimism, abundance, and a deep spiritual connection. It serves as a reminder to always seek the light, even during times of release and transformation.
Her crown of flowers celebrates her eternal connection to nature’s cycles, while the red thread she wears binds her to all her relations, representing the sacred connection to her sisters and the lineage of women who walk with her on this journey of transformation.
The Maiden of Gratitude and Joy invites us to embrace the process of letting go with a full heart, knowing that in releasing the old, we make space for the joy and abundance yet to come.
