Ask Astrid Fridays ~ The Rabbit’s Corner: Rabbit Hole Alchemy
Today’s share from the wondrous world of Astrid, is both a peek at a creation we just birthed yesterday and a feel into the collective energies we sense – a threading together of what moves through us to manifest and why.
There’s a pervading anticipation, concern, and powerlessness energetically moving through the airwaves and it’s even had Astrid both in a frenzy to move energy AND a desire to anchor silently into stillness.
“Perhaps we can turn anxiety into wonder,” she says.
What you see pictured here are photos of The Rabbit Hole ~ A Woodland Whimsical Portal featuring a mixed gray wild, elder rabbit that in many ways embodies Astrid’s energy. The rabbit sits inside of an old hollowed out tree stump, which is also in fact a portal into the wonder and alchemical chaos of the void. Rabbit is the master and guardian of this realm and guides you in navigating personal mastery within it too.
Astrid’s desire with this portal painting was to remind everyone that true knowing has always lived within you. Every challenge you face is an invitation to open your imagination more and bathe in the hidden mysteries like a bedtime story enchants your inner child. To devour this kind of curiosity and unpredictability helps you discover and manifest the worlds your imagination leads you to explore.
Yes, there is challenge and yes there is no guarantee, but when you embark on an adventure into the unknown this kind of spiritual journey has the potential to produce invaluable riches. When you stretch outside of your comfort zones, you begin to tap into the limitless well of possibility within the impetus of creation.
It is this very quest where a spiritual awakening can be actualized into embodied depth.
Going down the rabbit hole helps you remove your conditioned sense of security and knowing so that you move into an experience of navigating through moment-to-moment creative life force – every moment and step being creatively imagined anew. When you stretch to receive knowledge and ancient wisdom beyond reason alone, an activation of expansion takes place within your heart and life.
You become more fully actualized and so too does the journey unwind in brushstrokes of artful living.

The other day, I looked up the name “Astrid” and found out it is from Old Norse and means “beautiful goddess”. The perfect name for a beautiful alchemist rabbit!
aw! so sweet of you ❤ astrid and i thank you so much for sharing that ❤ yes, i didn't know what the name meant either, when it came through for her on a super new moon in fact. she's the only bunny that took her time to provide me her name…she had it all navigated out in her own alignment for me to receive. i love its meaning of divine strength, divine beauty, and beautiful goddess, as you shared. i am constantly humbled to be her partner and guardian. so touched by your words and reflection!
Much love to you and your beautiful rabbit companion.
thank you! and so much love to you ❤ ❤ ❤
In the first photo, I thought it was a literal 3-dimensional sculptured object you had created. Until you indicated it was a painting, I didn’t think otherwise. Pretty neat! Speaking of comfort zones, I did stretch mine a little and came back home safely, with the intention to return within a year. Aside from the arid air, I think I could live there one day. What I would *do* there remains to be seen! 🙂
wow that’s so cool you saw it like that. i love that first photo because it blends so well into its surroundings. i’ve found this perfect magickal little spot there that i now photograph everything i make, but this piece really felt like it belonged there. thank you! pretty neat indeed!
thank you for the update on your trip. that’s really exciting to hear that you feel you could live there. sounds like you had a bit of an adventure while exploring there. 😉 i do believe things will align in ways unknown when/if it is your place to be. will be interesting to see unfolds!
