Messages from the Linden Tree for April 2024
Finding wisdom and solutions in our everyday lives can sometimes feel like a burden. However – and I can’t stress this enough! – it’s okay to take small steps. It’s the process of movement that keeps the energy flowing and builds momentum.
Be gentle with yourself and those around you. Healthy boundaries are important, but only if you maintain them well. You can find wisdom and insight by listening to your ancestors, whether by recalling family tales, or sitting in meditation to connect with them directly.

Solutions often come best when you relax and get out of your own way. While you should let your heart ultimately decide, sometimes it’s best to allow logic to weigh in and help with clarity.
Most importantly is face your fears, especially about your flaws and imperfections. Honor yourself by being yourself. And take inspired action through your personal authority.
April brings you the potential to:
- Reevaluate and redefine your personal boundaries.
- Face change with dignity and patience.
- Bring love back into your life.
- Listen to the wisdom of your forebears.
- Find creative solutions that work.
- Face your fears.
From the 2024 Year Ahead reading:
For the second quarter, I drew cards from Lucy Cavendish’s Oracle of the Dragonfae (with art by Jimmy Manton & Ravynne Phelan).
2nd Quarter: Nimue. “Seek the counsel of crystals”. Change is upon you, whether you seek it or not. Don’t be afraid of the change because it will bring you to a place where you realize just how strong you are, and how capable. Gather obsidian for cleansing, amethyst for protection, and agate for grounding. Light a candle and meditate. Answers will come.
April’s general message: The Sovereign – “Gentle power”. Power is an inside job, it’s not something you possess. Being empowered means that you know yourself, your boundaries, and your self-worth. These are things that cannot be taken from you. You decide when and how much you will show the world. You are being encouraged to step up and be visible, show yourself to the world, and claim your personal sovereignty.
For each week in April, I will be continuing with the Oracle of the Dragonfae, with artwork (in order) by Nicole Cadet, Jimmy Manton, Toni Carmine Salerno, and Ravynne Phelan.
April 1-6, The Lovers (3) – Love each other. Love is an essential part of life, whether it’s platonic, familial, or romantic. Love feeds the soul and gives us something to treasure. Remember, though, that love is like a garden and needs to be tended. Look at fixing what isn’t working. Celebrate and nurture what is working through small, consistent acts, rather than large inconsistent gestures.
April 7-13, Queen Mab (11) – Your ancient wisdom is awakening. Not all traditions are bad. Sometimes we need to revisit our roots and the wisdom of our ancestors to make sense of what is happening in our lives, currently. Embrace your history and be open to listening to your elders, both human and in nature. Use what you learn to bring about positive change in your life and community.
April 14-20, Queen Oonagh (10) – A brilliant solution is on its way. What do you do when faced with a challenge? Do you react – or do you respond? Take a step back, look at the situation logically, and respond accordingly, remembering that some of the best solutions are counter intuitive. Challenge yourself by looking through different perspectives and use this insight to create transformation.
April 21-30, The Pendragon (20) – Pure male energy. It is time to stand up and face your fears. If you’ve made a mistake, own to it and take steps to remedy the situation. Respect for yourself, as well as others, is at the heart of this. Acting with honor and respect offers protection and defense. So, step up, decide what you need to do, and then take action.
Things to remember this month:
- Be yourself.
- Take action.
- Find creative solutions.
- Find love wherever you go.
