The spirit of the enchanted fern grotto says: retreat and replenish your inner resources. Now is not the time to act but to incubate your ideas for the future. Be still — the answers are within you. Magic is all around you.
This is the time to go within. Seek and find your inner refuge. Take time for deliberation and reflection. In times of retreat, you can truly hear the voice of your soul.
If you have been pushing hard or struggling to keep going, this is the time to be still and nurture your inner world. Draw nourishment from the wellspring within you.
Think carefully about the decisions you make at this time. If possible, put them off — now is not a good time to make life-changing choices. Instead, take time to create a foundation for the future. Retreat and reflect on your heart's true desires. Proceed with care and deliberation as you make plans. Listen to your inner guidance.
Fern grottos have a feeling of peace as you enter. Many are known to be places where magic resides, perhaps the homes of fairies and elves. Allow the energy of the sacred space to fill you. Know that you can be yourself and truly relax.
