“In the Taoist alchemical tradition, the psychological functions of imagination and spiritual vision were carried out by the hun – the spirits of the Wood Element – who carry the messages of the invisible shen from heaven down to earth so that a human being’s life could be guided by the stars.”
Lorie Eve Dechar

Get to Know the Hun:
  • Spirits of vision and imagination
  • Preside over our dreams and our capacity to plan, hope and move forward into new possibilities

Lean back into the Hun for support with:
  • The capacity for decisiveness and direction in life
  • The ability to go to your own edges and stay on track
  • The power to plan and organize your time in order to manifest your vision
  • The potential to sleep well and open to dreams that guide you in the outer world and help you know your inner world more deeply

The Hun endows you with the ability to:
  1. Direct your imaginative functions and your capacity to “see” into your own future
  2. Envision new possibilities and to plan scenarios through which these possibilities can be realized
  3. Find your path through the infinite possibilities and decisions of life
  4. Shout out the great “I am” of becoming who you are truly meant to be.
"Images are potent catalysts of psychic processes. To the alchemist, they both initiate and are initiated by cycles of change in the world of matter. Like all processes related to the Wood Element, the imaginative processes give birth to and support the growth of new possibilities on all levels of our being.”
Lorie Eve Dechar

Wood’s spirit question:

To what degree am I growing and developing toward
my ultimate purpose or destiny?

My memory of sitting on the floor in a circle is visceral. It was the first thing we did that morning - each person in turn, releasing their dream fragment into the center. I felt them find their place on an invisible scaffold and build up. I think I remember Lorie saying that we were creating an art installation. It felt like we were. Dream altars are a simple way to support the benefits of dreaming – having the dream, remembering the dream, sharing the dream, connecting day and nighttime...

Lorie and Benjamin embody the Maine lifestyle, from the images in this newsletter and the pictures of them in scuffed Blundstones on their website, to Lorie’s mention of their local food co-op below. But, this community spans the world! I live on the other side of the continent in another country and although we have been in the same physical space many times, our relationship is now entirely virtual – as is the one many of you have with them! Seeing Lorie and Benjamin’s life through their...

Meet Lindsay Fauntleroy! Lindsay takes flowers seriously—not only because she holds a deep appreciation for their beauty, but because she understands their vast potential for healing the spirit, soul and psyche. Although flower essences as tools for psychological healing play an important role in her practice, Lindsay’s work also draws from other Western, Eastern, and African Diasporic approaches to psychological healing. She weaves counseling, somatic embodiment, meridian therapy, archetypal...
