Salix vitellina / Golden willow

PLANT DESCRIPTION

There are different species of willow, but this one is easy to recognise by the branches, which turn a glowing yellow-orange in winter/spring. The tree can reach a height of 25 meters and prefers damp terrain near seas and watercourses. Its leaves are long and come to a point, and they have fine hairs on the underside. The male silvery-grey willow catkins and the female light green, oblong blossoms grow on separate trees. It blooms in April/May.

PREPARATION: boiling method

MOOD GROUP: Despondency and despair

NEGATIVE CONDITION

For people who feel self-pity, bitterness, resentment and rancour and for this reason can seem irritable and grouchy. The feeling can dominate that one has been given a raw deal in life, but possible improvements are only unwillingly admitted. 

• One doesn't believe that one has earned the adversities of life. Others (or fate) are blamed for them.
• The feeling of being an innocent victim.
• Other people's luck, health, wealth, success etc. are envied. This can lead to embittered retreat.
• Help can be considered self-evident.
• Even if objectively things are going somewhat well for them, they always compare themselves to others, who in their opinion have it better than they do.
• They are never really satisfied, often think negatively and destructively, but don't think about changing something in their own lives themselves.
• When they are sick, they make contact with care providers aggravating.
• Negative Willow-condition appears for almost everyone temporarily in at some point in life.

POSITIVE POTENTIAL

Past injustices are forgiven and forgotten, one recognises that one has some responsibility for one's own experiences and condition. Life is viewed positively and can be enjoyed again, which seems to attract pleasant encounters by itself.

BACH QUOTE

"For those who have suffered a misfortune or bad luck and who have a hard time accepting it without complaints and bitterness, for they measure their lives strongly in terms of their successes. They have the feeling that they have not earned such difficult trials. They believe that they have suffered injustice and are made bitter by this. They often lose interest in the things that have made them happy, and become less involved with them.“
