Walnut

Indication

For those who have definite ideals and ambitions in life and are fulfilling them, but on rare occasions are tempted to be led away from their own ideas, aims and work by the enthusiasm, convictions or strong opinions of others.

Twelve Healers 1936

Affirmation

We must gain our freedom absolutely and completely, so that all we do, our every action – nay even our every thought – derives its origin in ourselves, thus enabling us to live and give freely of our own accord, and our own accord alone.

Collected Writings p154

Habitat

Walnuts are often found near old farmhouses, preferring rich soil and plenty of space in which to grow.

Emotional state

For those who need protection from outside influences when the foundations of life are unsettled during a major change in life - teething, puberty, starting a new school/career/job, any fundamental alteration in mental, emotional or physical state. Helps to break with the old and establish pattern of the new. Guards against anything which interferes with the workings of normal life, protects those who are attacked by subtle forces. Known as the link breaker.
