Hello, hello, my beautiful goddess tribe! It's been ages since I've blogged, and as I was creating my breakfast today, I knew I had to jump on and share some juicy morsels with you about my trip to Hawaii and my communion with the Mother Goddess.
This might become a book one day, but as I stared at my morning concoction of dragonfruit, the thought came to me, as it did for the first time on the sands of Big Island... "If Hawaii was a color, it'd be magenta."
One of the most spectacular things about the Hawaiian islands is the fruit and the flowers. Both Big Island and Kauai have a large variety of flowers in vibrant shades of red, purple, coral, yellows, just about any shade you can think of... but the one that I deeply connect to this is same magenta shade. Pops of bright magenta caressed the landscape at every turn. And with each flower, I threw my hand to my chest and breathed in the beauty of the flowers. They seemed to embody the very same goddess energy I had felt upon the islands, and awakened sensations I'd had growing up.
Magenta is one of the main colors I was attracted to as a child. Whether it be through flowers, Crayola, little sequin dress-up attire that turned me into a complete diva, cartoons, or through food, I was always drawn to this color. Magenta seems to carry a magical energy with it, one that embodies love, romance, vitality, and passion. The drive to pursue our dreams, the moments that take our breath away, becoming something new, and embracing the best aspects of life.
Maybe it's the joy we receive after recovering from pain. Maybe it's the feeling of infatuation after seeing your first crush, or the fire between two people, when you know love is being reciprocated. Maybe it's stepping into your inner goddess. Or maybe it's the magic of tuning into the earth, creation, and the beauty around us. Maybe within the color is the symbol of love itself. Maybe it's the divine feminine energy, or concept of divine union, breaking through the color. One way or another, some of my deepest, most treasured and intuitive sensations in life have involved the color magenta.
Back at Big Island, I had the privilege of attending a kukui bracelet making and lei crown making class while on the Big Island this winter. There is deep spiritual symbolism behind both, trying them to the goddess, enlightenment, divination, mother earth, and divine trees. I could hardly contain my excitement at the chance to create a lei. I was shocked when the flowers they presented were in vibrant magenta. I about squealed when I discovered the not only could I make a lei with these beautiful magenta flowers, but a crown. My inner goddess leaped at the chance. It pulled at my heartstrings and I could hardly contain my eagerness to work with them. The petals were absolute perfection, a beautiful symbol of earth and fertility.
While working with them, the instructor taught us about the ancient priestesses that honored this sacred land and the sacred wisdom and power of the island goddess Pele, who I had rigorously been studying at island landmarks and in books. The creating of this crown, while hearing the tales of the ancients of this space that my soul was drawn to, was incredibly sacred for me.
At the end of the story telling, my crown was complete, glorious and radiant in pink; one of my finest creations. Upon request of the instructor, my husband placed it on my head, crowning me, right there in the small wisdom shop. Afterwards, as we said our goodbyes, the instructor mentioned that she could tell I have a relationship with the Divine Feminine. Our eyes were full of knowing. Our souls understood each other, in a way that only those who have experienced this could feel. We teared up, embraced and parted ways, but I took the crown with me, along with the magical energy of the magenta flowers.
Shortly after, down by the pool, I devoured a vibrant dragon fruit bowl that awakened my taste buds, full of the sweet nectar of natural honey, lemon, and coconut. The dragon fruit was the same shade of magenta as the flowers blossoming on every strip of land. I knew the second I tasted it, I would have to recreate it at home.
Something I have been implementing in my health lately is getting closer to the earth through healthy and vibrant foods. It's one of the best ways for me to feel aligned and connected to Goddess and my inner goddess. It is so meaningful, to create a sacred relationship with oneself and the food you take in. What fuels us, creates us. We can embrace our inner divine by connecting with the life force that is in our food, and by the colors we place within our being. For me, dragon fruit is like the fruit of the gods. Eating it is like intaking the glorious, goddess, life force that is carried in Hawaii, through the magenta energy.
Moral of the story, the powers of magenta can truly be felt in Hawaii, and the power of Hawaii can truly be felt in the magenta. So next time, you see a magenta piece of clothing, books, or edible item, try to feel the power in the color and let it envelop you. Magenta is magic.
Thanks for reading along with my sappy tale! I'll be sharing more of my experiences in Hawaii with time. I am now under a new handle, @agirlandherrose and would love to hear from you.
Warm regards,
Krystal
