Gorse: Bumblebee Jasper

By S.F. Skyheart - March 18, 2024

Each of the Celtic trees correlates with a crystal or stone.

The Celtic day of Gorse, the day before the spring equinox, is associated with:

Stone: Bumblebee Jasper

This crystal activates the sacral and solar plexus chakras, enables one to accept change, find new opportunities, increase self-esteem, and make decisions without relying on emotions.

If you're feeling drawn to bumblebee jasper, it may be time to help any stuck emotions to move through the body. Try watching a comedy or romantic comedy, or going to a comedy show. Laughter is a great way to move stagnant feelings and it really is good medicine. There is research on how laughter alters dopamine and serotonin levels, which is especially beneficial for those experiencing depression or grief.

I highly recommend comics Taylor Tomlinson and Fortune Feimster, who both have several standup specials on Netflix.

If you can't find bumblebee jasper, another stone that has very similar properties is citrine.

Please note: Some people start the tree calendar with Birch in January, which follows the solar calendar. However, I learned them in an older tradition, which aligns with the 13-month lunar calendar. It's up to you to discern what feels right for you, of course.
