White Foxglove
White Foxglove
Digitalis purpurea
Fear * Flight * Imagination * Lightness-in-the-dark
When in the dark
desperate
nowhere to hide,
she brings a lightness
to my wings
spread out.
She sings
that place inside
to put a light
where darkness
hovers all around.
In response to fear,
take flight.
Be everywhere
around,
safe in your dispersion.
There always is
a place to go
in face of fear.
White Foxglove Flower Essence brings light to the dark of fear, when we feel there is nowhere to run and we want to hide. Known as witches’ gloves, and traditionally associated with the power of flight, toxic Foxglove teaches us that we are never at a loss when we are terrified. There is always a way out of the dark, even if it is only an imagined escape. White foxglove powerfully poisons the dark with light, freeing up all of our resources to motivate us when we feel petrified, reminding us that the imagination is a powerful tool.
