This organic flower essence helps to show us the reasons behind the behaviours of keeping the peace. You may feel that agreeing or going along with plans and leaving decisions to others is a loving way of making sure everyone is happy, a way to avoid any upset or to seek approval. But Father Wound invites you to explore why you would put your needs and wants secondary and why you need anyone’s approval but your own and that of Spirit.
 
I feel this would be especially helpful for those who have a father wound; that is, formative experiences of an absent, abusive or manipulative father and the resulting adaptive behaviours to try to gain approval and love.
 
Aligned with Fire and Sun Gods, this essence is the divine masculine encouraging assertiveness and loving protectiveness of the self. My recommendation is to work with this essence during the Dark Moon, a time of getting to know our shadows, those behaviours that are damaging to us when not acknowleged.
 
This is one of these essences I would suggest working with for a longer time than 28 days, depending on the depth of the wounds. The 30ml bottle is suitable for 3 months at the recommended usage.
 
The Petunia spirit of this essence grew better as an outsider of the medicine wheel here at VOLVA HQ and this pertains to both her Solar and Lunar aspects too; perhaps you are more comfortable being on the fringes and not in the fray? She encourages you to find your own position, guided by your heart, and not led by the influences and demands of others.
 
Often the Solar and Lunar Essences go hand in hand, offering two sides of the same coin. Mother Wound is the Lunar partner to Father Wound and these work well together, especially if you have formative experiences of emotional absence or a lack of the nurturing support of both maternal and paternal love. You can find Mother Wound here.

  • The photographs available on each label and listing for every VOLVA flower spirit essence is of the actual flower that the essence has been created from - no generic plant pictures here - so the picture of the flower on the label actually reflects the vibration of the essence. This is provided as an additional way to help you intuitively connect with the plant, in addition to the information in the listing and the keywords of its medicine.

    I recommend focusing attention on your body and your mental, physical and emotional responses when you see the photograph or read the information on the essences, to guide you to the right essence(s) for you at this moment. 

    It is often useful to work with one essence at a time - in this way we begin to understand the uses and gifts of each essence - for around 28 days or until you feel the issue is resolving or a different essence is required for another layer of healing. Essences do however work very well together so if more than one essence speaks to you, go with your intuition.


    The Solar and Lunar variations of one single flower essence are excellent companions and work well together for balance. The potency of working with both Sun and Moon together can be increased by working with the Solar essence in the morning and the Lunar essence before bedtime. Do be guided by how you feel both in relation to working with the Sun and The Moon together, and in working with more than one essence and how they would align.
