Mythobotanicum N°1: Sator Somniorum
Being the Gardener of your Dreams
Welcome to Mythobotanica —
A garden grown in the Inner Wilds
An exploration of intuitive imagination and subconscious worlds.
These plant-worlds bloom in the In-Between,
Where shape and mystery meet.
Sator Somniorum - Dream-Sower
Lately, a feeling’s been growing inside my belly.
A yearning, a wanting, an asking for more more more.
Yet, the seeds I sow do not gestate. They do not grow.
Are my wishes not clear?
Are they not meant to be?
A Dream-Sower arrives,
Asking important questions.
“What do your wants want?”
— it wonders.
“Seeds do not grow
In gardens full of sorrow.”
I pause.
It listens.
Pulsing, vibrating in expectation.
A key appears -
A flickering flame flowing through my body from beneath.
I feel… aha!
I thought I needed things to own,
Turns out wanted to feel myself.
I thought to buy my sense of safety,
Turns out it grows from deep within.
The secret unlocks,
The soil revives.
There is space, willingness, openness -
And the seeds planted now
Are held warmly
In the bedding of my soul.
I need not think
I need not know
Only trust
That they will grow.
I need not think
I need not know
Only trust
That they will grow.

An Invitation of the Dream-Sower
✧ Sit quietly
✧ Place one hand on your heart, one on your belly
✧ Speak your wants aloud, without shame or guilt
✧ Then go deeper: what is underneath this want? How do you want to feel?
✧ Plant that feeling like a seed
✧ Choose to water this feeling in your body - not the worry in your mind.
✧ Repeat this spell:
I need not think
I need not know
Only trust
That they will grow.
May you walk boldly into the Unknown,
Helder
