Flora/Fauna Empaths
Names: Flora/Plant, Fauna/Animal Empath
Meaning:
A Flora Empath is an Empath that is connected to plants. A Fauna Empath is an Empath that is connected to animals.
Abilities and how to improve them:
Fauna Empaths many attract many different animals to them- and be that friend who can get your shy cat to somehow earn their trust. They may be able to even communicate with them and they instantly know what they need.
Study Veterinary Science and learn about animals to know more about them- the more you know, the better your intuition will be. Do things with your pets and use tools and crystals that will connect you with animals. If your pet is able to- meditate with them to increase your connection. Sit in nature and listen for animals sounds like rustling and birdcalls.
Flora Empaths are people who have a “green thumb” and can bring any plant back to life- and can grow them in almost any environment. They also may be able to communicate with plants and know exactly what they need at any given time.
Study horticulture and herbalism to increase your knowledge of plants. Sit in nature and feel all of the plants around you- feel grass on your feet. Connect to plants by feeling them and smelling them. (Be safe! There are many out there that are dangerous!)
If you are someone who is comfortable using plants in your spells, do so! Flowers have many different meanings to them and there are many resources for using plants that are not herbs in witchcraft. Use plants to decorate things and make things from them.
If you are someone who is not comfortable hurting plants or using them, then grow them! Create gardens and live close to nature- you can even care for plants in the wild and nurse plants back to health.
Weaknesses and how to deal with them:
Fauna Empaths are affected by animal cruelty and seeing strays out on the street. Many of them can even hoard animals because they care too much about them, and ultimately going into a spiral of not being able to part with them and also not being able to care for all of them.
To avoid things like this, protect yourself from negative feelings like guilt and do research on humane shelters and places where you can take them to instead of housing them yourself.
You can pursue careers in Veterinary Science and volunteer at animal shelters and even foster animals until they can go to good homes so that you can help them.
Both Empaths are impacted by the affects of pollution and other things that damage the Earth.
You can always join activist groups that help animals or the environment.
Ground often and use crystals that are related to the Earth, plants and animals- Black, brown, grey, red and green crystals. Focus on the Root, Heart, Throat and Third Eye Chakras.
