Elderberries

wisdom, crone energy, learning from experience

There it is: a knowing within bone. Allow it to guide you.

Your higher self chose this card to remind you there’s value in seeking out guidance from someone who has been there before. However, there is tremendous value in learning by doing. You can research, ask questions or watch others who are masters of their craft, but at some point you have to get in there and practice if your aim is to develop your skills.

You have pulled the Elderberries card to gently nudge you out of the planning phase and into the doing phase. You may get it wrong at first or feel awkward, which is okay because the only way to improve is to focus and learn from your mistakes. Each misstep tells you what to avoid, and every success confirms all you have learned.

Elderberries also reminds you to stop seeking validation from others. If there isn’t an example of what you want to do then you’ll be the first, and with time your wisdom will guide others. If you’re attempting to do something that many others are doing, trust that there is room for everyone to bring a unique perspective. You do not have to pattern yourself after other people to be successful.
