Elderberry synchronicity

We went out to find some elderberries this weekend. i kept telling myself they were already gone, that i was too late. But when i went out looking for them i discovered it is precisely now that its their harvest time. I happen to live in a neighborhood where we have a very huge amount of the trees they grow on.I am very happy we do because i am very fond of this tree.. i feel very pulled towards it somehow. It's very interesting to read about what this tree symbolizes by the way. Its a witches tree :-)

Anyway we found a lot of trees with a lot of ripe berries.. I decided this year i will be making a tincture out them. Elderberry tincture has been used for centuries to protect us from getting ill with the flu. When you feel your body is developing a cold you take some drops and it supposedly helps to not let the cold come up in all its glory. Lord knows we can use some help. We, my babies and i, were ill a lot last winter. I was terrible.  

This week elderberries kept coming up in my mind. And what do you know it just happens to be their harvest time.. I did some research on what to make with them before i harvested them and i already knew if i would find any i would make tincture out of them. And now that i'm writing this little story i see (yet again) how its filled with synchronicity..Love that so much..the flow of life going right through you..

If anyone would like to order a bottle of elderberry tincture with me, you can drop me an email at dissiones(a)hetnet.nl . But i will include the recipe in this post again so you can always make your own.

Here is the recipe
