Honey in the Pot

From the Tarot of the Enchanted Forest, the Three of Visions (Cups); from the Mushroom Spirit Oracle, Maitake:

A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside.

— Winnie the Pooh

These three bears cavorting in the woods ask us a question: Have you been making time for your friendships? In the hectic busyness of our days, it's easy to forget the importance of our connections. Eventually, when our heart aches or we have a funny story to tell, we discover that empty void.  As Lunaea Weatherstone wrote, "You don't need a special occasion; the time you spend in good company is a celebration in itself." Maitake means 'dancing mushroom' in Japanese and is said to be a powerful adaptogen (an aid to help the body be resilient during stressful times). What better balm is there than good friends?
