Happy Mystified, Magickal, Manifesting, Memorial Monday!

This will be a shorter than normal post as I want to attend a Remembrance Day service, so let’s crack on shall we?

Well to say it’s been a heck of a week globally would be an understatement, wouldn’t it?

I have been hearing from many of you the shock that you have been feeling, anger, disbelief and the grief, as that’s what it is.

I’ve also been seeing a lot of attacking posts, divisive posts and blame posts – understandable in a way, but it isn’t going to help us as a collective to move forward and through this challenging time.

Today is Remembrance Day, also known as Armistice Day. It marks the day World War One ended at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918! 106 years ago!!!

And I do wear a Poppy, I always wear a Poppy at this time. Why?

The Poppy to me is a symbol of Remembering those who bravely went to fight for our freedoms and well being.

It is also a symbol of Hope, hope for our troops that are still deployed all over the world and Hope for a time of Peace.

Personally, I think it is important to focus on those types of events, the ones that inspire Hope and Peace, and don’t get me wrong, there are all sorts of horrendous wars being waged all over the world. But drop back into that space of Armistice, Hope and Peace – it is sooooo possible on every level in this world (at least that is my belief).

Thus on Remembrance day we have the potent energy of 11:11. Great Jen, what does that mean for me (you may be asking)?

This day holds the number code of 1111, which is a power number in astrology and also an angel number.

If there is something you want to manifest or a wish you want to make, this is the day to set your intentions!

1111 heightens our ability to create and to leave an imprint on the tapestry that is all of life. It also indicates that we are in complete harmony and alignment with all of nature.

From this state of alignment, it becomes easier for us to feel grounded and connected to our life here on Earth, but also to the magic and wisdom of higher realms.

Close your eyes and remember the last time that you set an intention. Did you feel doubtful that your wish would come true, or did you have faith that the universe was listening, ready to help you bring your vision to life?

11/11 is one of the most powerful days of the year for manifestation – a day when we’re reminded that our guides are always with us, supporting us on the path to our deepest dreams.

There’s a reason why we’re told to make a wish whenever we see 11:11 on the clock. 11 is a master number, and its frequency speeds up manifestation, opening up channels through which angelic beings can send their wisdom and support.

“The number 11 grants us access to the 5th dimension, where the constraints of time and space do not exist. On 11/11, we experience 5D energy in the form of synchronicity, alignment, and acceleration. You might experience that “right place, right time” feeling – the reassurance that you’re on the right path, and everything you’re seeking is seeking you in return.”

The Law of Attraction, based on the Hermetic Principles, teaches us that everything we manifest is created by thought: Where your attention goes, energy flows. Every second, you’re thinking things into existence – so on this day, pay attention to where your thoughts tend to wander.

Are you focused on bright and positive outcomes, or are you subconsciously manifesting your worries and fears?

Work with the energy of 11/11 to positively channel your thoughts in service of your highest path. I recommend meditating at 11:11 am or 11:11 pm to best harness the magic.

Set aside 11 minutes to close your eyes and go within, visualizing what you desire and how it would feel if you’d already received it. Yes?

Another simple way to harness this energy is to free flow and write for 11 minutes about all your heart’s desires and intentions. At the end of the 11 minutes, go back and highlight the words that inspire you, make you feel hopeful, excited and then formulate them into an intention.

If you wanted to go a step further you could make a sacred Sigil!

And if you want to ramp it up a bit more, use the fabulous phrase that can really Unfuck you!

Ready? Super simple, but super powerful when faced with confusion, stagnation and all the rest of that dross.

The phrase is “AM I WILLING?” e.g:- Am I willing to do the work to make a change? Am I willing to turn my anger and grief towards something constructive? Am I willing to get off the sofa and go to the gym to lose weight? Am I willing to release those relationships that drain me? AM I FUCKING WILLING TO MAKE CHANGE?

If you can’t come up with anything to put on your AM I WILLING list. Turn it around and ask yourself the same question in a different way: “WHAT AM I NOT WILLING TO DO OR PUT UP WITH?” e.g:- I am not willing to put up with this abusive relationship. I am not willing to continually struggle. I am not willing to be continually dismissed. I am not willing to feel unhealthy………..

Are you getting it now? Dare you to give it a try, it’s quite fascinating to play with, write down and it most certainly unravels those threads that can make you feel like you are tied up in a knot and disempowered (that’s what Fear does to us).

Okay enough chuntering, let’s see what guidance wants to talk to you this week.

Take a deep breath gorgeous one, relax the jaw and allow the spark of Hope come into your heart. Breathe it in and ask it to help you.

If you need a bit more to help you, here’s a wee glorious visualisation for Hope.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

W.I.T.C.H.

Control. No woman alive today needs a dictionary to know what control means within a toxic patriarchy.

She’s experienced it a thousand different ways before she’s hit puberty. It’s alive in the curves of her psyche, in the expanse of her hips, in the marrow of her bones.

It is domination and restraint.

But in a blanched psyche and in a balanced culture, control can mean something else entirely..

A WITCH experiences control through cooperation rather than competition. She engages with all the parts of her psyche in an attempt to coordinate rather than dominate.

Right now, right this minute, please embrace all the inhabitants of your inner realm, because each deserves respect and a place at the table. Even the unruly, the inconvenient, the ugly.

Making space for all under the banner of wild inclusion and giving voice to the shame, malice and anger, as well as every other outlawed part of the psyche, is the way we create integrity, ensuring that no part of our inner realm is involved with factions, divisions or rebellions.

When your intent is to create rather than compete, you don’t have to dominate.

Your influence is enough.

This is power with rather than power over.

Invite in all the pieces of yourself, all the things that are bothering you today and wrap them in the blanket of inclusion and assert your authority.

HARPY OF RAGE

Rage can be purifying.

Like the harpies of Homeric poems, rage can bring the storm winds that scour and wipe a landscape clean.

While this may seem a destructive force on the surface, rage, like the harpies, can bring change and shift landscapes both internal and external.

Quiet or loud, a wild howl or a hiss in the dark, anger is both purposeful and natural, so stop bottling it and shoving it away in order to be pleasing.

So much more powerful to gather your rage. Rather than shrieking into the wind where passion can be swallowed, you will find your branch, and settle into a position of power.

Using your authority, you will choose your time, and cry out your claim.

Offer your anger to your art, your cause, your community, resulting in a rallying song of change.

A W.I.T.CH pours her rage into her creativity, advocacy and commitment.

She’s also willing to peck out and devour rage against her own self through the radical wings of self-forgiveness.

THE PREDATOR

You know the voice of the psyche that wants you to comply or conform in order to fit in, or shames you for being selfish, or tells you it’s honourable and responsible to deny your longing, demanding you fold your dreams away into a people-serving-shaped box?

It’s a predator you adopted as family.

The voice condemning and convincing you that following your desires will hurt other people?

It’s inside you. The call is coming from inside the house!

That predator is an unholy inquisitor.

He might have first showed up outside of you in your original home, church or school, and most certainly in our culture as a whole. But he is now alive as the inner patriarchy.

It’s the force that wants to control you in order to keep you small and unthreatening. It’s moved into the psyche, as it does generation after generation, if left unquestioned.

A W.I.TC.H knows it’s purposeful to speak truth to power, to stand up and march for justice, fairness and decency.

But she is also determined to march on behalf of the girl inside of her living with a monster.

She is willing to take to the inner streets to clean up the injustice of bullying thoughts, blaming self-talk, and name calling.

She speaks up for fairness when the internal predatory voice demands she please everyone else before herself.

She embodies fierce decency when her dreams or hungers or passions are shamed and belittled from within.

It is time to take a stand against the unholy inquisition of the psyche, and develop the tools to defeat the toxic patriarchy living there.

You deserve nothing less.

Oh my, oh my, gotta love the guides and the cards

How are you feeling about the ones you picked?

Sending massive hugs on this Remembrance day, breathe and invite in Hope.

Happy Marvellous, Magicakal, Mysterious, Manifesting Monday!

Oh my giddy aunt, it’s good to be back!

As most of you know I went off for a month and trekked Ireland and a good chunk of the UK (the cool spots).

Someone asked me the other day (appreciating I have been home just under 2 weeks), how was your vacation?

This wasn’t a vacation, it was an Odyssey, a trip to rediscover paternal and maternal places. To meet glorious Irish cousins that I have never seen face to face, to explore sacred sites and to scatter some of my Mum’s ashes in places she loved in Yorkshire.

Have to say it was epic and I’m still processing it.As there have been so many pivotal moments on every level!So I’m so glad to be back in time for Samhain, and I have spent some time in the garden (as it went nuts whilst I was away).

I harvested what was needed, and cut away those things that weren’t needed, and weeded out a shed ton so that the ground is open, receptive and ready for planting.

But that’s the energy of- Samhain (pronounced So-ween) and it is my most favourite celebration of the year.

I will be honest I frigging love, love, love Samhain as it is the epitome of endings and beginnings. This is a transformative time of year.

When you connect with this potent energy, and let it guide you in your soul work, you can create lasting growth & change in your life.Now if this way of looking at what you know as our Western Culture “Halloween” is new to you, and you are thinking – Jenn WTF?

Grab the Magickal Book of Samhain and all will be explained.

If you just want to read a lovely story about Stingy Jack and why we carve pumpkins, feel free.

As in our Western Culture we think of Halloween as the “spooky time”, kids get dressed up and go looking for tricks or treats throughout the neighbourhood. Pumpkins are carved with faces to scare and there is a sense of celebration in the air.

Yet funnily enough Samhain (which is where our Halloween originated) is more than one day.

We have All Hallows Eve, which starts at dusk on the 31st and then on November 1st we have All Saints Day, and on November 2nd it is All Souls day, or Dia de Los Muertos. All of which are a celebration of death and those who have passed and new beginnings.

Think about it, when we were an agricultural based community, this was the time when the harvest would have all been brought in, the days were getting shorter and it was a time to move into the darkness.

This is the sacred time marking the end of the harvest season. It’s the time of Death in nature. This is the time of year when we acknowledge, and honour, the role that Death plays in the cycle of Life.

You cannot continue to evolve, and birth new life, without experiencing Death.This is the time of honouring your ancestors and inviting their help and support.

It’s a place of reflection and celebration. It’s a time of spiritually slowing down!

If you remember, at Equinox the energy was still mingled with summer, our inner & outer worlds swirling around each other; a time of finding balance between the two.

And I will say I celebrated Equinox climbing a huge Tor in Ireland and participating in a dawn ceremony.

Now, at Samhain it’s clear that our inner world is overtaking our outer.

Day is turning to night as we move into the dark side of the wheel of the year. This is where the energy turns inward, and things need to die on the outside in order to do that.

Samhain celebrates that Death.

But what does this mean for you personally? How does it benefit you?

Turn Inwards. This is the time where you can make peace with yourself and to get comfortable with your inner life. This is where the work is for the next few months. It’s a place of being in a neutral mind and just observing.

Embrace the darkness. By embracing the darkness you learn not to fear the darkness.

There’s a lot of beauty in these dark days. Embrace it. Magic is born in the darkness.

And as you turn inward, don’t be afraid to look at your dark parts–be an observer. No judgement. What do your shadows want to show you?

Release whatever needs to die. If you are brave enough to look at the darkness, to listen to what it has to tell you, you discover parts of yourself you need to let go of in order to grow & evolve.

This is where we leave behind the things that we’ve outgrown. Welcome the mystery & the possibilities of the space that it creates in your life.

This is a powerful time for magic & manifestation. What new dreams will be born to replace the leaves that you’ve let go of?

Be gentle with yourself. Being brave enough to journey into the darkness requires really mindful nurturing & self-compassion. This is hard inner work. It requires you to be so gentle & loving & kind to yourself over the next few months.

In perfect divine timing, at Samhain we are entering the feminine/yin side of the wheel of the year.

Yin energy is restful. It’s gentle & nurturing. It’s intuitive & receptive.

So my gorgeous bean, that is how it benefits you when you move in rhythm with Mama Gaia and the seasons.

Now with all that being said, and as I want to go play and celebrate (and if you have actually read this far lol), let’s crack on with the reading.

The guides that decided to come and play with us all for this All Hallows Eve surprised me. They are the glorious guides of the Sacred Forest.

Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as not to do so would be rude!)

At the edge of the mind awaits the holy wilderness of the soul. It beckons you, like a great forest filled with vast mysteries and wonders. While this mystical realm exists in a higher dimension, beyond normal reality, it is real nevertheless. To enter this mystical realm, it’s simply a matter of having an open heart and an open mind.

In this healing and holy place, long-sought answers to your deepest questions become known. Ancient wisdom emerges. Revelations about your future are revealed. Hidden talents and abilities are activated with you. It’s a place where miracles unfold, and your spirit can fly. In the deepest sense you remember who you are.

Okay gorgeous bean, here we are starting to step into All Hallows Eve, the start of Samhain. The place of release and moving into the warm, feminine darkness that nurtures and supports. I invite you to take a long, deep, luxurious breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. Let your face relax, your jaw relax and the worries of the day drop to the floor like leaves from autumnal trees.

Then I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a glorious warm dark night sky, you feel safe, you feel supported and held and as the clouds pull away you see stars that will guide you. Breathe that in. Allow this gorgeous Feminine Darkness to gently wrap around you and guide you and then when you are ready pick a card or cards that call to you.

You picked yes?

Shall we go see?

FOREST TEMPLE

Enlightenment

The sound of delicate chanting fills the forest. You follow the sound, as you walk down a meandering path into a small clearing. Before you, a forest temple becomes visible. As you get closer, it feels that the chanting is penetrating deep into your soul. Something seems to be shifting within you. Everything is the same, yet everything is somehow different.

Meditate on the light within you and around you. Connect with the ever-present of the Divine. Right now your awareness is increasing. Your ability to understand the world is shifting. More and more, you can see situations from all points of view, and this creates an expansion in all parts of your life.

We can often get stuck in seeing the world from only your personal point of consciousness, which is dramatically restricting possibilities for you. A one-sided adamant view of life can block a vast influx of light, joy, and connection to the Creatrix.

Strict adherence to your beliefs can obstruct wonderful opportunities from flooding your life. Be willing to step outside your limited points of view and see the world from the others’ perspectives, and your life will expand.

With enlightenment, you’ll feel the expansion from a limited sense of self to an awareness of the cosmos around you. That loves you.

Positive changes are coming. You are lightening up; feel buoyant and free. Your connection to Spirit is deepening if you allow it. Old beliefs about who you are and what you deserve in life are falling away, replaced by incredible new paths.

EAGLE SPIRIT

Freedom

Eagle Spirit invites you onto her back, and you dwindle in size so that you can climb on. You hold on to the down beneath her feathers as she soars higher and higher. The forest looks smaller and smaller, yet you can see so clearly as you ascend above the clouds. You have never felt so free!

It’s time to break free and let your spirit fly! Be daring as you go beyond predictable behaviour. Fling your arms up to the heavens in joy.

Also, pay attention when you have let life or others restrict your freedom. Recognising this is the first step to reclaiming your power. Don’t allow yourself to be trapped by convention or the expectations of others. The truth is that you aren’t here on this earth to be ordinary, but to step beyond limitations and self-imposed boundaries.

You have the ability to choose your life on your terms. Perhaps you aren’t always free to create the exact circumstances of your life – but you’re certainly able to decide what meaning to give those situations. Select meanings that empower you, for this is the time to break free. Hold the intent that boundless freedom surges through you, and so it shall.

This is the time to express yourself. Don’t hold back. Choose life on your terms.

Don’t be trapped by the expectations of others.

DAFFODIL FAIRY

New Beginnings

You feel a tap on your shoulder, and in a flash of yellow, you see a Daffodil Fairy fly by you. In a high, sweet voice she says, “The best is yet to be! It’s time for a new beginning!” With glee, you race after her into the forest.

Life goes in cycles. Just as spring follows winter, a new cycle is beginning in your life. In the phases of the earth, the plants die in the fall so that there can be new birth in the spring – it’s the universal dance of death and rebirth. There’s a time to end and begin, and this is the close of one cycle and the beginning of another.

We associate the daffodil with spring, as it is one of the first flowers to emerge after the snows. Its shape echoes the feeling of trumpeting in the new season; its colour suggests vitality, radiance, and sunshine.

It’s time to wipe the slate clean; it’s time to release the old and start again.

It can be difficult to release familiar routines, situations, or relationships when they no longer empower you; however, your higher self encourages you to not cling to the old, but set sail into new waters. If you find yourself afraid to let go, you are urged to face your fear and allow yourself to stretch in a new direction.

The Creatrix is at your side, and wonderful opportunities will be born in your life. Wholeness occurs when you can say yes to both endings and beginnings.

It’s time to start a new project or a new cycle. Life force and vitality are emerging. Release that which doesn’t serve and support you. Make way for a new start!

Lol, you seriously can’t make this shit up! Sorry if swearing offends you, but you can’t! Wishing for you a beautiful Samhain, give yourself the Magickal Book of Samhain if you feel called, but most importantly take the invitation that is being offered of stepping into the dark (in the Western Hemisphere) and really embrace yourself.

Big massive Pumpkin Smiles and may wee tiny Mars bars appear when you need them!

Dearest Gentle Reader,(I have wanted to say that for so long!)

It feels like it has been a hot minute! Actually it has been 3 months of a hot minute.

So let me explain why – as no, you haven’t been abandoned and I most certainly have appreciated the emails and messages and check ins.

If you are not interested in hearing about it, please skip to the reading part. Okay?

As many of you know, my mothership and I had an “interesting” relationship at times. She could be incredibly judgemental, unkind and most certainly loved to point out I was the Black Sheep.

For the last 3 and a bit months prior to the mothership choosing MAID on June 7th, I went and spent time with her every day.

And in that time I received an incredible, amazing blessing and gift.

She allowed her armour to drop, the judgements to fade away and we laughed and talked and teased and loved in a way I can’t ever remember doing with her. It truly was an incredible gift.

Now if you don’t know what MAID is, it’s Medical Assistance In Dying.

She had chosen this prior and it was meant to be a month out but on that day she had had enough, so it was 2 hours heads up!

And as of 1:13pm on June 7th things started getting “interesting.”

First off, my brother (only surviving family member), who turned up 10 minutes before the MAID process, expressed to me after she died his disappointment in me that I had called the funeral home, as he felt we should leave her body there for 3 days so he could visit it and be with her.

Hmm. Appreciating this is the man that last year at my sister’s Celebration of Life decided to strip down to swim trunks and swim in her scattered ashes.

With her death we were then presented with the fact that her home, her life, her things had to be packed up, sorted, and distributed in under a month! So needless to say the only way for me to do that was to take time off work and put my grief in a shoebox in the back of the closet.

My brother was useless as tits on a bull to be blunt and instead advised everyone (including my children) that none of us understood his complex grief and then went on an attack rampage focused solely on his perceived slights, misunderstandings and anger which he kindly directed fully at moi!

Toss on the cherry on that explosive toxic cake that the executor is his ex-wife who decided to work out some of her dysfunction with him and the attacks and vitriol were coming in quick and fast.

So here we are 3 months out and I had postponed my Mum’s Celebration of Life due to this fucked up family dynamic, have offered solution after solution which have all been discarded and finally came to the place of Enough!

Not a “Fuck You” enough, but a heart and soul based “No.”

My shoebox in the closet is asking to be opened, my children are looking to honour their Nanny and have healing, grieving and closure.

Thus, the celebration of life now has a date, I’ve been super clear about my boundaries and have fully distanced myself from my brother and his ex wife and hopefully he gets to a point where he doesn’t hold the whole family hostage and will allow the Will to go to probate.

Huzzah!

Now, why am I sharing this with you?

Because, transparency is important to me and I feel that I have been in Imago for the last 3 months.

Imago is what happens when a caterpillar cocoons before they transform, thus not a caterpillar, nor a butterfly – just the goo, a third entity unto itself.

So within this glorious goo phase many things have changed. My work, my life, my thoughts.

So yes, there is a reading today, will there be one weekly over the next month – No and I will explain why shortly.

Also, within this process it’s been most interesting and I have relearned that when one closes off a whole huge piece such as grief and the death of the last parental – it also closes out a lot of joy and magick and seeing the delight in the every day.

I’ve also noticed that many around the world are in that place of Imago – the not knowing as our world seems to go to hell in a handbasket politically, financially, economically and yet there is a collective yearning for something more supportive, loving and joyful.

Can you feel it?

So let me ask the questions of you that I have been exploring in great depth for the last 3 months.

What does your heart want (not your brain)?

What does your soul need?

How can you bring that into your life in a more tangible way?

What have you put off due to overthinking that would make your soul sing?

What do you need to release to allow more of that yumminess in?

Why those questions?

Because when you are in the Imago, the goo, they bring you back to your essence, they bring you back to Source and Love and they provide you with the breadcrumb trail to follow, which often is not logical at all.

An example of this in my own life is – for all you amazing ones who joined in when we did The Omen Days, if you remember you had 13 wishes and by the end of the Omen Days you were left with one, yes?

That last wish was the one you were meant to create this year.

My wish that I was left with was “I am travelling Ireland, UK and Wales and exploring the Sacred Sites.”

It’s been a goal and a dream I have had for at least 2 years and I kept putting it off and putting it off.

However, with all the drama of the last 3 months, and asking myself those questions every day, paring back the things that were done and allowing myself to sit in the Imago – guess what?

I leave in less than a week!

Spirit, Soul and Heart have said over and over again – “It’s time to go back to your roots, it’s time to embrace the ancestral healing and love, it’s time to open and transform.”

So I am. Hence why there won’t be weekly readings for the next 5 weeks!

However, for all of you who have asked, will there be an Equinox Guide, yes.

She will be released this Wednesday.

I personally will be spending Equinox (September 22nd), my birthday, my 60th birthday at New Grange in Ireland. If you don’t know this site – go check it out, it’s delicious.

Okay, that was a lot of openness and sharing, and for those of you who have skipped straight to the reading let’s crack on shall we?

When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share their wisdom and insight with you this week, the glorious “Love Your Inner Goddess” guides came out big and bold. Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to).

We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK.

Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense. She wants so much more for you. She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny. She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart. She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you.

You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true. There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed. Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity. She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart. “

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time. Woosah!

So gorgeous one, breathe. Just breathe, BE and allow yourself to relax, your mind to calm, your breath to slow and ask your wise inner self – what do I need to know this week. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your heartstrings – don’t let your mind pick!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

ANGEL OF TRUTH

The truth wants to be told, needs to be heard. It may seem like the whole world wants to believe in a lie, and so you wonder if you are crazy, if you are the only one who is thinking differently and desiring the real story to emerge. Yet those that fight against the truth are even more in need of it! There can be no healing, no freedom, no moving one without it.

You are going to be blessed with a truth revealed, a realisation about yourself, the world or others that will bring you relief. It will happen at the right time. It will set your soul free.

Sometimes, the lies we are repeatedly told become so familiar that we forget that they are lies and begin to believe that they are real. Maybe it’s someone judging us that is the lie. Maybe it’s advertising and the media, which are often more about deceptive manipulation that a source of correct information. Whatever the source, all untruth teaches us the same thing – that we must be afraid and hate each other.

When we are fed so many false truths, it can become hard to remember what real truth feels like. It can even start to seem like the truth doesn’t matter as much as being able to convince another person to accept your point of view. This is like poison for the soul.

The soul needs truth like your body needs air. It keeps it alive. Deep in your soul, you know what is true, and you know when you, or anyone else, is not being truthful. You are sensitive enough to know that only truth feels good for you. You must give yourself permission to be truthful with your own soul and live honestly, authentically and bravely in this world. It is the only way for you to be really you.

QUEEN OF HEARTS

Your heart has been chosen by the Divine to be a temple for spiritual light, an inner place where grace and healing can dwell. This is very special. A temple is kept clean and pure, scented with sacred perfumes of incense, made beautiful with our feelings uncluttered and spacious so that as much spiritual presence as possible can enter.

When spirit enters and fills the temple of the heart, things of extraordinary beauty take place. Even the seemingly impossible becomes possible. Clear your heart temple with forgiveness, gratitude and love for the spirit, so it can fulfil its divine destiny of being a sacred channel for beautiful divine grace.

The mind may believe it has got the power to rule, but, in truth, the heart is queen. You are a true goddess of love, one who consults the heart for answers. You will courageously follow the guidance of the heart. Even when the mind doesn’t want to surrender to the call of the heart, and fearfully lists numerous reasons why it is crazy and stupid and will end badly, you know that the doubt of the mind is no match for the power of the heart.

Things don’t need to make sense to your mind or to anyone else, they just need to make sense to your heart. You are already a divine queen, your heart aflame with passionate purpose. Stay true to your heart’s wisdom and you will change the world!

EARTH GODDESS

To live the dream, we have to surrender the fantasy. This can be painful. It feels like the end – when, in fact, it is the beginning. Once the pain passes, there is the joy of what we have yearned for coming to life. It may not be as perfect as the fantasy, but it will be real, and it can nourish us. We can build our appetite for life with dreams, but we cannot be fed by them.

The soul requires real life experience to become fully alive, to have experiences and grow. There’s a fantasy that wants to become reality for you. Don’t let a few gritty moments or human imperfections prevent you from experiencing the joy of heaven on Earth.

You have beautiful dreams and wonderful visions of what life could be. It is not enough to imagine them. You want to live them! This is exactly how you are meant to feel. For that to happen, you must practice feeling grounded, taking practical earthly steps, one at a time, to bring your dreams to life.

The Universe will send so much help your way, but you are the one who must take the steps. Spirit cannot do that for you. Even if you are not sure how your biggest, boldest dreams can come together, you can still ask yourself, “What is it that I can do now?”

Remember you are an Earth Goddess. You have the power to manifest your visions, to bring your beautiful ideas to life in the world. This is what you are here to do. Remember to love yourself enough to recognise your creative power and use it joyfully each day.

You can’t make this shit up! Seriously.

So my gorgeous one, a message for you:- Whatever you are going through, bring it into your heart and your soul and ask the questions. Follow the breadcrumb trail with faith and love, big love and trust that you are positively perfect and in the right space right now and everything is unfolding for your highest good.

You may get travel missives, you may not.

Otherwise, see you in mid October.

Big love and hugs,

Happy Magickal, Merry, Misty, Mischievous, Magnetic, Manifesting May Monday!Hello my darling, darling – this is going to be a briefer reading this week, and I will explain why in a moment lol.

It’s been an “interesting” week and a bit to say the least.

I had great plans for last week – give a presentation to the National Lay Chaplain committee. Get tons of writing done, appear on two podcasts, clients, calls, joy and creativity.

I also had great visions for my Mother’s Day, a day of play, bouncing on a pogo stick, spinning bubble poi, hanging with all of my kids – as my daughter and her family just moved here last week and having glorious food cooked for me.

The only piece of those plans that happened was the presentation, lol.

The rest went to hell in a handbasket unfortunately.

And we have all heard the quote from Robbie Burns “The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men, the best-laid schemes of Mice and Men Gang aft agley, go oft awry.“

Why?

My elderly mother has been unwell for 2.5 weeks.

Now what you have to appreciate about the mothership is that she is very, very, very (did I say very) prideful and rather vain.

Thus, I have been helping, tending and supporting her whilst counselling hydration and medical help, also a Covid test.

But of course, what do I know?

And there was no way she was having a Covid test as she wasn’t “one of those people who gets Covid”. And no she didn’t want medical help or anyone to know.

My daughter and I went to see her a week ago on Saturday and she couldn’t even sit up in bed on her own.

On Sunday I followed my intuition and popped in to see her to find that she had been on the floor for over an hour and couldn’t get up. But still “no one could know”.

Does the phrase “Pride comes before a Fall” fit in here, I think so!

I finally was able to talk to her doctor and they immediately said hospital, hydration and blood work. So the ambulance was called and guess what?

If you guessed she said no, you would be guessing correctly.

There was nothing wrong with her, and she had a hair appointment booked that week that she didn’t want to miss!!@!!#@#$@#$

So when I woke up last week feeling rather unwell and filled with brain fog, I immediately took a Covid test – positive.

My daughter felt unwell, she did a test – positive. The baby was positive a day or so later, then my son was positive.

All stemming from someone who’s pride wouldn’t let them admit they were human.

So do you understand now why all the plans went to hell in a handbasket?

I will be honest, I was rather pissed to say the least, but then again – what’s the point. It is what it is.

Don’t get me wrong – Pride definitely has a place.

I am proud of my work, I am proud of the things I create.

I am proud of who I am and how I move in the world.

But I refuse to allow Pride to take the steering wheel and make my choices for me!

Make sense? Do you have someone in your life who runs on Pride?

Okay, enough chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to my delicious guides and asked who wanted to come and play.

These lovely guides came in loud and proud! If they are new to you, please let me introduce you.

“As above, so below. As within, so without. Today, many of us seek to reclaim the sense of connectedness that existed universally in ancient cultures, when human fate was wholly entwined with nature.

The world was seen as a symbiotic entity in which all living organisms interacted and supported each other, from the innermost cellular level to the outermost cosmological level. An essential bridge is being rebuilt between humans and nature, allowing us to access the realm of the transcendent and the land of the luminous.

Herbalism is the medicine of belonging, a gateway through which we keep alive a very sacred aspect to our source. “

With all that being shared, let’s drop in shall we? Take a delicious breath and invite in the energy of endings, as when there is an ending there is a new beginning.

What needs to just gently drop away (no drama), so that something new can grow?

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

REISHI

Retreat

Called lingzhi in Chinese, Reishi represents immortality and is considered the “herb of spiritual potency,” meaning success, well-being, divine power, and longevity.

Said to have been discovered in 396 BC in the Changbai Mountains of China by Taoist monks, it is one of the oldest mushrooms used in medicine. It has long been called an anti-aging mushroom and powerful Shen tonic, a category of medicines that “nourish the spirit.”

Reishi powerfully influences our main spiritual centres: the endocrine, nervous, and hormonal systems. Hormones powerfully impact our perception, mood, sleep-wake cycles, ability to bond with others, and awareness of reality. They activate the nervous system, which is also directly related to igniting mystical experiences.

Reishi is ruled by Jupiter, the “guru of planets,” the one that dictates how we derive wisdom and access to the mysteries of life.

Reishi is inviting you to Pause. It’s time for renewal.

If you feel overwhelmed or mentally overloaded, it’s time to retreat. Take the time to recuperate and recharge, and personal growth will follow. Overstimulation and indecision lead to a sense of weakness, imprisonment, and a feeling that you are evading death.

Like Bear, hibernate or rest before you take on the next project or challenge.

Many Native American tribes have called this space of inner contemplation the Dream Lodge, a place to witness death and see beyond the confines of physical reality by visiting the dreamtime.

Create the space to be in silence and calm the internal chatter. Take time for reflection and nurturing yourself (and we all have that time).

MITRAGYNIA

Shape Shifting

The Indigenous peoples of Southeast Asia have valued the power of this rainforest tree for thousands of years and have used it as a poultice to treat wounds, as well as treatment for a variety of symptoms, including stress, pain, fatigue and fever.

Like Coca leaves in the South American highlands, fresh leaves from the Mitragynia tree are chewed for energy and stamina throughout the day.

Mitragynia was revered among monks in Asia, as it assisted them during long periods of meditation by providing focused attention and positive energy.

Mitragynia embodies elements of both Saturn and Neptune, as it profoundly relieves and decompresses the musculoskeletal system, while granting a freeing and euphoric feeling to the body-mind.

Used in the right amounts, it can greatly assist those with addiction (Neptune).

The balanced side of Mitragynia represents the ability to shapeshift and adapt across realities.

Like the Dragonfly, Mitragynia grants us the power to break through the illusionary facade we often accept as reality, providing us the freedom from pain in order to break through limiting illusions.

Dragonflies, like Mitragynia, help us initiate subconscious healing from the trauma experienced from endless cycles of pain and suffering.

Dragonfly medicine invites us to seek out the parts of our habits that have gone unchanged, unnoticed, and stagnant.

Ask yourself, have I tended to the changes I’ve been wanting to make?

Don’t get lost in the labyrinths of self-doubt.

Break free from illusive belief systems that hold back your transformation.

ANGEL’S TRUMPET

Death

Angel’s Trumpets have an intoxicating scent and flowers that resemble angelic horns aimed downward, symbolising the call of the angels to humanity.

Plants in the Brugmansia genus and relatives like Daturas have a rich history of use among shamans and magic practitioners, even though they are poisonous.

Some South American Indigenous groups, like the Kamsa, Jivaro, and Ingano, initiate their children at a young age into the path of curanderismo – becoming a healer – by ingesting Angel’s Trumpet during a flower ceremony.

Jivaro boys who walk the shamanic path are given the medicine at the age of six to acquire an external-vision-producing soul that lets them communicate with ancestors called arutam wakani.

Angel’s Trumpet is ruled by Pluto and Mars.

Angel’s Trumpet signals a time of catharsis or death.

A deep emotional breakdown is due or near. You may feel lost in your own emotional despair, depression, shame, or unworthiness, but now the angels of discernment and darkness are here to support you.

Coming eye to eye with the darkest feelings within yourself catalyses the greatest awakening. Deeply pause, let go of control, and witness the broken pieces within yourself with loving awareness.

The medicine of the Bat symbolises the need for a ritualistic death of relations, situations, or aspects of life.

Bat, like Angel’s Trumpet, signals catharsis and rebirth, signalling literal or metaphysical death of old patterns and worn out habits.

Understand that you can reconstruct at any time, create something new, deeper, richer and more in alignment, regardless of how shattered you feel.

Wowzer! Love these messages and they tie into the monthly energy (and you seriously can’t make this shit up!)

Wishing you a stupendous week filled with ease, grace and health. See you in two weeks as the long weekend is coming up. Big hugs and squeezes!

Happy Magickal, Merry, Misty, Mischievous, Magnetic, Manifesting May Monday!

How are you delicious lovely? How was your Beltane experience?

I made a lovely offering to the Fae of crystals, sunflower seeds, red wine and shiny coins. I noticed a good chunk of the red wine was gone the next morning.

So either there were some tippled faeries flying around or a tipsy racoon!

Okay my darlings, we have lots to natter about this week. We have the New Moon in Taurus, a big shift in May energy and of course Mothers Day all coming up this week.

So grab a cuppa and get settled.

First off, thank you for all your lovely shares about the Beltane gift – over 300 of you downloaded it and shared your experiences! Love it!

But before we kick off everything; for those who have asked about Flourish – there are only a few spots left.

The doors close on Mothers Day and we start the following week.

So if you have been sitting on the fence and umming and ahhing, to be blunt – it’s time to piss or get off the pot! Lol.

Remember, we are in the Year of the Wood Dragon and an 8 year – 8 is the number that takes everything and amplifies it!

It’s the year to really step into your power, your strength and there will be lots of lessons about having the courage to be yourself and to think outside the box.

If you have been a people pleaser, wowzer, there are going to be lots of lessons around this to help you finally release this pattern.

So this is where the invitation for you is to really tune in, own your worth, get comfortable with uncomfortable emotions, and be a very active participant in creating your life (not a stand on the side victim).

Okay, let’s have a look at this week.

On Tuesday the 7th we have the Taurus New Moon in our skies.

“After the transformative waves of Eclipse Season, the Taurus New Moon on May 7th, anchors us into a place of nourishing stability.

We may feel the rising importance to slow down, ground our energy, and make time for stillness. Much may have changed and much may be in flux, but the welcoming energies of the New Moon guide us to rest, recharge, and find our centre.”

How can we create a cycle of nourishment in our own lives?

How can we bring balance to the flow of giving and receiving?

Creating this harmony really begins with us and our inner state of being.

Next up we have the May energy shift into one of “MENTAL CLARITY AND INSPIRATION”.

Let’s let the amazing Lena share her wisdom on this theme.

We have just been through an energetic and emotional centrifuge and this month we get to sort out what is left and more importantly what we value and what is important to us.

There may have been losses, changes, disappointments, new opportunities, sudden reversals, shocking news, situations better than expected and situations more challenging than planned for.

It has been a lot, our plates are full, and now we need to take the time to reflect, review, reassess, and reset, with the goal being some mental clarity and new inspiration about our purpose and next steps.

It is a time of observing self and others with patience and receptivity. What are you manifesting? If it is more of the same as in the past that you intended to change, then you still have work to do.

The greatest obstacle this month is fear. We have a collective fear of the unknown, fear of being victimised, losing our freedom, abandoned, restricted, and at the deepest level annihilated.

This fear can quickly eliminate any inspiration for what is possible in the unknown of the future.

The antidote for fear is trust and connecting to the larger picture of evolution, the magnificent structure and organisation of the universe and the grounding and nurturing aspect of the earth.

Are you seeing how all the energies meld like a glorious pot of soup?

Hence why the doors to FLOURISH opened at this time! (and no, you can’t make this shit up.)Sunday the 12th brings in Mothers Day.

For me personally, it’s irrelevant if you have birthed children or not. As we have all at some point in time nurtured, mentored, supported a child – whether they were ours or not.

I will be honest, I have learned so much from my five children – they have taught me amazing lessons, given me a lot of angst, and helped me to grow up.

I also realise that Mother’s Day can be challenging for some as there are so many energies that float around that day, there’s:- love, frustration, loss, grief, disconnect, yearning, joy, expectations, connection, being invisible – and so very many more.

It reminded me of years ago when I was in a lovely Kundalini yoga class and my most amazing mentor invited us to bring in our Mother, to feel that energy of safety, unconditional love and peace.

Well, I have to say that was not what happened for me by any stretch, instead it brought up loss, abandonment, grief and some very dark emotions which had me sobbing the whole way through class! (Gotta love how energy moves).

Afterwards I went up and shared with her my experience and she could really hear how that didn’t feel safe inviting that person in. So instead she invited me to bring in someone who represented that mothering energy instead – so the next time I happily brought in my Great Aunt, another Aunt and a lovely older female friend.

Which in turn created a totally different experience!

So remember:-

“Let everything that needs to go, go. Let everything that needs to come, come. “

On that note, let’s crack on with the reading.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a look?

QUEEN OF HEARTS

SHAMAN OF SKULLS

In your heart, you have been asking for something different, something more, and the Universe is answering your prayers. You don’t need to be afraid of the changes happening, or that are going to happen, for you. They are part of that answer from the Universe! You might feel uncertain because you cannot see how it is going to all work out – but know that the Universe is caring for you, and will provide a way to move through the transition with grace.

You are not crazy to willingly enter this experience. There is nothing that you need avoid, and so much that you will gain.

Something is ending. Something that has meant a lot to you. Maybe it is a relationship, a phase of your life, and identity that no longer suits you. Maybe it is an inner ending that you can’t quite articulate, but you feel nonetheless. This is a symbolic death with a greater purpose.

The shaman is spiritually trained to overcome the fear of symbolic death and, instead of avoiding endings, to willingly go through them with the awareness that an ending is simply the other side of a beginning. The shaman learns that endings happen when something new wishes to be born.

Be patient with yourself, be kind, but also know that new life is happening for you now according to a higher purpose and loving plan. Your life is meant to change at this time. Be encouraged! From the ashes of this symbolic death, you shall rise again.

FINCH SPIRIT GUIDE

Finch Spirit Guide comes to you with guidance to care for yourself in a particular way. Finches can become beautifully coloured, but only when they eat foods that nourish them. They have the power of beauty within, but they need the correct nourishment to be able to transform that potential into expression.

You also have beautiful divine potential to shine your light and beauty in the world, but you must feed your soul what it needs to do this. Be respectful and loving to yourself as you choose what to take into your being – be it physical nourishment or emotional energy or even the kinds of books you read and entertainment you watch, for all has an impact on you.

Do you feel better for the experience? Does it nourish your soul?

The best growth-enhancing food for your soul is that which increases love. Finch Spirit Guide also brings a prediction of a celebration of happiness ahead of you – and wants you to know that your connection to the spiritual worlds is real, to trust in the messages you feel from the Universe as they make themselves known in your heart.

It’s a good time to experiment with how to best care for your mind, body and soul. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about finding what works best for you. You are in a phase of your life where giving back to yourself is important.

Perhaps you have been sharing a lot of yourself with others, have come through a challenging time or, in the near future, will be stepping up in a new way to share more creative energy and soul fire than ever before.

All that you need to know now is that it is the right time to take extra special care of you.

Woosah! Gorgeous guides for this week! Sending you massive hugs and squeezes, set your intentions under the Taurus New Moon, come join us in Flourish and ground yourself!

Happy Magickal, Merry, Marvellous, Magnetic, Manifesting, Moodling Monday!

(How’s that for alliteration?)

It’s the last Monday of April (this month has been “interesting” to say the least!)

First off, thank you to all of you who have emailed, asked questions and joined Flourish. It’s the perfect time!

And for those of you who have asked if we can keep the early bird registration for Flourish in place longer and start a week later.

Yes is the resounding answer, as I want to make this accessible to everyone who is willing to choose their own Sovereignty and transformation!

So come join us in Flourish, you won’t regret it. It’s an investment in you and claiming your power!

Okay, on April 20th we entered the sign of Taurus where we will hang out until May 20/21st. It’s at this point that energy slows, and we begin feeling our feet land on the ground after the hot and fiery energy of Aries.

What does the Taurus energy want you to remember and remind yourself of daily?

“You are worthy; you were born worthy; you need nothing outside of yourself to claim or own just how worthy you truly are.”Taurus Season is our time in the year to slow down, consolidate our schedule, and think about what we wish to really dedicate our time to.

While Aries Season inspires our impulses and passions, Taurus Season wants us to look at our long-term goals and hone in on what we really want to dedicate our time to.

So what do you want this year?

On Wednesday we have Beltane! So let me wish you an early Happy Beltane!!

And to help you tap into these expansive energies (and to have some fun), I have created the Beautiful Beltane Book for you.

I call it a booklet, but it’s 23 pages packed with rituals, suggestions, journal prompts, spells and more! And to celebrate this magickal day it is my gift to you.

Now if rituals, lore, magick and spells aren’t your gig and you just want something simple – I have 5 Questions to Ask Yourself on Beltane.

Beltane is the cross-quarter day that marks the midpoint in Spring. We are now half way between the Spring Equinox & the Summer Solstice.

Beltane celebrates the height of Spring and the flowering of life. Earth energies are at their strongest and most active.

All of life is bursting with potent fertility, look at the trees around you – (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere), they are bursting forth with bright green leaves and the little sparrows are back as well as the robins. Abundant fertility, on all levels, is the central theme.

At the Spring Equinox new life was just beginning to emerge. But here, at the beginning of May, there is no denying that the Earth has been reborn.

Beltane is a time to celebrate all the pleasures in being alive.

The Goddess has reached her fullness and is the manifestation of growth and renewal and shows up as the May Queen, Flora, the Goddess of Spring. The God emerges as the Young Oak, May King or as Jack in the Green.

They fall in love, the union is consummated and the May Queen becomes pregnant.

Together the May Queen and the May King are symbols of the Sacred Marriage, the union of Earth and Sky. If you have ever read “The Mists of Avalon” you will know what I am talking about.

This is the night of the Greenwood Marriage. It is about sexuality and sensuality, passion, vitality and joy. And about conception.

A brilliant moment in the Wheel of the Year to bring ideas, hopes and dreams into action. And have some fun!

This is why Flourish is open now!

And like Samhain, this is when the veil is thinnest between our world and the Fae, so leave a wee giftie out for those ancient magickal ones.

Okay, that was a lot, so let’s crack on with the reading.

I laughed when I saw the guides, as I mentioned the veil is thin between us and the Fae and so the Fae decided to show up. (You seriously can’t make this shit up).

Do I need to introduce you to them?

These glorious guides give you needed glimpses into your everyday life and help you see where changes can be made to enhance your life here on Earth. There is so much more to our world than we often perceive.

There exist many dimensions and numerous beings that reside in these realms. All of these elemental beings are interconnected with us. We do not live independent of one another but are interdependent. These wonderful beings are here to help.

Okay dear one, take a moment.

It’s so easy to just pick a random card with no intention, but what if you allowed yourself that moment of intention? What if you dropped into your body, breathed into the tight places and just paused? Let that quiet and stillness soothe you, calm your mind and break up your day.

Then from that place, on this day, ask your wise inner self – what do you need to hear this week?

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

Always

Infinity

Let’s talk about Infinity, shall we?

To truly understand life, you must understand that you have always been….and always will be. You are part of the Divine Source that rules the Universe. Your spirit and your soul are immortal.

As the physical body passes from existence your energy body survives, eventually to move back to join with the Spirit.

Your connection to Divine Spirit is never severed. You are never alone. You are always connected to the Source. You are the vehicle through which the Divine Spirit manifests on Earth.

Understand your divinity and your importance on Earth.

Appreciate that every other being on Earth is equally important to the Divine Plan.

First, always be there for yourself!

Perhaps in the past those who should have stuck by you did not. Those you thought were true were not.

Release old pain and habit patterns and allow your highest good to manifest in your life.

Express your gratitude!

This primes the pump for a real lasting relationship, with yourself first, then someone else. And always with the Divine. .

Remember the elementals that are helping you along the way. Their devotion to you is infinite and unwavering.

Fire Dance

Fire Energy

The Fire Dance represents the dance of life, for it is the giving of life, which is the function of the Kundalini energy force (also known as serpent energy).

It is through this energy that life and creation are achieved.

The Kundalini energy is a mighty force that should be allowed to awaken at its own natural pace. It will naturally open as you become more loving and more conscious of your own divinity and connection to Spirit!

Fire energy that is awakened too soon is at risk of misdirection. It is wiser to study, read and work on your own spiritual understanding. This will gently let the fire energy rise. Balance is very important in this energy system and promotes well being on all levels.

This energy is in constant use daily in conjunction with all of your energy systems, which all work together.

If you have been feeling low in energy be sure to review your eating, exercise, and sleep habits. Take good care of yourself and make a “releasing of worries” statement to yourself and the Universe.

A delicious and easy way to help your energy systems stay in top running order, is to sit in a quiet, comfortable place and close your eyes. Slowly imagine breathing in and out each colour of the chakra system…start with red and move to orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

Imagine breathing in a beautiful mist of each colour.

Breathe each colour until it feels integrated within your body and then move to the next. Soon you will feel more balanced and energised!

Trespassers

Boundaries

Fairies have boundaries, in case you didn’t know.

They are usually in the form of magical spells placed around sacred places in order to keep out those who might tamper with their sacred objects. They also have an invisible magic boundary around their realm.

It is not easy to break through this boundary but it can be done when one knows the secret words!

Are you having trouble respecting the boundaries of others? Is someone not respecting your boundaries?

A third question is, “what kinds of boundaries or limits am I placing upon myself?”

These are questions to ask yourself in order to discover which area of your life you need to work on. You cannot expect others to respect your boundaries if you are not clear with them yourself.

You must state clearly and honestly to others about where you draw your lines. Be kind but clear about your expectations.

In turn, be respectful of others’ boundaries also.

Their business is their own.

With regards to the boundaries that we place upon ourselves; we often set these limitations on ourselves due to lack of confidence, self-respect, or even lack of knowledge.

Release any unwarranted restrictions that you have assumed.

Release limiting habits and thought patterns.

The dragon at your gate can either protect you or hinder you. What will you ask it to do?

Woosah! Happy Beltane! Be gentle with yourself but also push against the electric fence of your comfort zone. Come join us in Flourish and remember You Are Worthy!

Big hugs and bouquets of flowers.

Happy Magickal, Moonlit, Mystical, Magnificent, Majestic, Manifesting Monday!

How are you most delicious lovely? Happy Earth Day!

We are almost out of Mercury Rx (thank goodness), as I have found this one super tricky, which normally I don’t. Sigh.

In case you didn’t see, the doors to Flourish opened on Friday and I am super excited about this amazing, glorious container. Early bird registration ends on May 1st Beltane, and we start on May 8th.

What is Flourish you may be asking?

Flourish is a sacred 12 week container where NeuroScience meets Psychology and they dance with Spirit and all go and hang out at Divine Timings house for nibbles, change and transformation. Lol. (The music is epic!)

I purposely named it Flourish and have waited until after Beltane as it really embodies the energies that the seasons are showing us and is such growth filled work.

Think about it, a seed holds boundless potential within its tiny form.

It contains the blueprint of the plant it can become: a sturdy oak, a fragrant rose, or a nourishing tomato plant.

However, it can’t realise this potential, unless planted in favourable conditions.

Like seeds, human beings embody unlimited potential.

They possess skills, talents, and abilities waiting to be nurtured and developed. But just like seeds they need to push the shit and dirt out of the way……… Yes.

What if it was easy, and you learned the full Divine Timing cycle and practical tools to allow you to Flourish and live the life you wanted?

So if you would like to join Flourish, please do – I will say I am keeping the container smaller than larger as this is deep, rich work and I want to ensure everyone is supported.

On Tuesday (like tomorrow), we have the glorious Pink Full Moon in Scorpio. (Which again embodies the energy of Flourish.)

Depending on where you live, Spring may be in full season, or newly formed buds are just beginning to take shape.

Determined tulips and daffodils push their way forward, destined to show off a bright, brilliant display of colours.

The air simmers with anticipation and possibilities! We are entirely immersed in the season of Spring and with it, themes of prosperity and a deep internal mindset shift.

The Pink Moon’s spiritual meaning is about optimism for the future and anticipating goals and dreams coming to fruition.

This is a time to fully focus on the present.

We’re past the planning stages and have begun implementing changes we’ve been plotting and scheming all Winter.

Trust yourself as you attempt to change and grow. Allow yourself the chance to fail and the courage to try again.

Be willing to adapt or completely change your initial strategy to help your intentions to be successful and long-lasting.

Remember to prioritise balance and nourish your spirit to avoid burnout.

This will help you remain focused and clear-headed.

Place boundaries when needed and recognize what you need to let go of to move forward.

With the Pink Moon in Scorpio you need to remember, there is something about the transformative energies of Scorpio coupled with the deeply intuitive, feminine energies of the Full Moon that make it a powerful time to step into a more connected place.

The outside world may feel chaotic, our emotions may feel all over the place, and maybe yes, there is some struggle, but if we go deeper, if we travel within, the Scorpio Full Moon can bring gifts of deeper wisdom, heightened intuition, and renewal.

Then we top that off with Beltane next Wednesday on May 1st!

Let’s take a little dip into what the heck Beltane is and whether you should pay attention to it or not.

Beltane was thought to be one of the more important festivals of the Gaelic calendar. Beltane is a Fire Festival. The word ‘Beltane’ originates from the Celtic God ‘Bel’, meaning ‘the bright one’ and the Gaelic word ‘teine’ meaning fire. Together they make ‘Bright Fire’, or ‘Goodly Fire’ and traditionally bonfires were lit to honour the Sun and encourage the support of Bel and the Sun’s light to nurture the emerging future harvest and protect the community.

Beltane celebrates the height of Spring and the flowering of life.

Earth energies are at their strongest and most active.

So all in all a great time to celebrate, set your intention and decide how you’re going to Flourish!

(We will talk more about Beltane next week).

With that chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading.

I frigging grinned when I saw the cards that wiggled and jiggled to come and guide this glorious week are The Isis Oracle. Have you ever asked who Isis is? Goddess of the Skies, Magick and Wisdom are just a few of the titles she is given.

Let me take a moment to introduce you to this lovely deck – “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening. Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world. When a Soul is growing in power and strength, it can benefit from guidance to help make the path into a new way of being in the world that much easier.

Isis offers Her wisdom and guidance to you to assist you at this time of spiritual growth and transition. She loves you, and wants you to shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.”

Okay let’s drop in, ground and get present, yes? I have a lovely visualisation to help you anchor into heaven and earth if you so desire. If not, just breathe in slowly through your nose and then sigh it out through your mouth. Allow yourself to settle and as you do I invite you to welcome in Gaia, Nature, Magick and the whispers. Let them play in your mind space and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that invite you to come play.

There’s a lovely guided visualisation to help you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we see, yes?

LIFE RESTORED

Spiritual resurrection is gifted to you now. Whatever part of you or your life you thought to be dead is being revived and will flourish back into life. Just as the Phoenix rises from the fire, transitioning from death, into life, so too will you rise again, healed and renewed.

Any trauma, ending, struggle or apparent defeat is not the end of the story for you now. What may appear to be an ending can sometimes simply be the forces of Ancient Feminine Power flowing into new pathways, pulling energy away from old forms so that they can transition into new forms.

This can take short or long periods of time. It could be over days or years, weeks, months, decades. It doesn’t matter how long something appears to have been decaying, it will spring back into life at the right time.

Just as the River Nile subtly adjusts its course over time, so too will the River of Light that flows through you, filling you with life force and Divine Energy, move with innate wisdom.

You can trust what is happening for you now.

Something important to you is coming back to life. It might even feel like you are coming back to life after a period of increasing emotional numbness, physical or psychological struggle or spiritual disillusionment. It might also be a lifestyle, practice, business or relationship – new or old – that is coming to life now.

You are guided by Divine Priestess of the Phoenix, Sister Isis, to turn your face to the Sun. Just as the Sacred Scarab Beetle follows the movement of the Sun, you are encouraged to focus on the light and life that is seeking you now.

Do not resign yourself to the way things have been. Let go of the past!

Have hope and optimism. The past is over. Enjoy your rebirth.

WINGS OF ISIS

You have a special spiritual relationship with the angelic worlds. Part of your Soul’s purpose is to birth angelic consciousness and values such as fearlessness, compassion and service, into this human culture.

Wings of Isis bring you angelic assistance and intervention, and confirmation that any impressions you may have had that you belong not only to the human kingdom but also to the angelic one, are correct.

This is no small task and although you are well equipped to succeed, there are beings that wish to assist you so that they may grow too and your success may be more graceful and swift. Isis, Divine winged mother, goddess and angel of healing, wishes to assist you with unconditional love now.

You will be asked to lift yourself up to higher and higher vibrational states of awareness and this may mean letting go of certain relationships, practices or states of being or even particular habits or thought patterns that would lower your vibration into fear, doubt or shame.

Give yourself permission to just let this happen. You do not need to force anything.

It is a matter of softening, allowing and trusting what feels right for you with absolute faith and bold, radical acceptance. It will be OK!

The more you accept this part of you, the more you shall draw into your world others like you.

You will just feel comfortable with each other, because you all hold a similar refined vibration.

Even in the midst of ordinary, everyday relationships, there is a sense of easy connection, mutual understanding and spiritual acknowledgment. The angels send you love and peace now and say, “We are with you, beloved one.”

KNOT OF ISIS

Each initiate has their own unique spiritual blueprint with particular skills, talents and higher destinies unfolding that use their unique attributes.

Part of your spiritual blueprint is a special relationship to the energies of the Goddess.

This means that not only do you have the important spiritual task of helping Her thrive in this world but you are afforded Her power, protection and abundance too. You are now deepening your connection to Her.

Part of your High Destiny this lifetime is to heal and flourish through the Divine Feminine in Her many forms, especially in those forms that truly resonate and hold meaning for you.

This healing will happen on your personal path and may well be part of the work that you offer in service to the world (which may be simply in how you live your life.

Your Soul is braiding or twining with the Divine Feminine energies in a particular form. For some that will be a specific goddess and the energetic process will often be strong and deep.

The Initiate will feel as if they are integrating the part of this goddess that is not just in them, but is a part of their own consciousness. It is a deeply personal, spiritually powerful and beautiful growth experience for the Soul. This process does not make you lose your individuality.

Listen to your body-soul as it grows with Divine Feminine wisdom and trust that She will guide you, whether man or woman, deeper into your own healing which benefits us all.

Happy Miraculous, Mercuric, Magical, Mellow, Moody, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

How are you most delicious, lovely? How did the eclipse treat you?

Isn’t it just oh so much fun to have that intense of an eclipse whilst Mercury retrograde is running rampant?

Part of me has been hugely confused as if I’m coming or going to be honest!

Let alone feeling like I’m parenting an acting out teenager when it comes to Mercury Retrograde and technology, I mean seriously it has been a gong show to say the least.

As I mentioned in the last reading, there is a beautiful new project coming out, called Flourish.

You were meant to have heard about it last week, but as I said I have an acting out teenage tech entity in the house, who decides to not do what they are asked and then goes and locks themselves in their room (whilst ignoring me). Lol

So it will be coming out this week and thank you for your patience. (Assuming I can bribe the tech teen out of their room with cool snacks or money, lol).

I have to admit, I am super excited, as the pivot in March, all the downloads and the eclipse – wowzer, they have mapped out my work for the whole year and it is frigging delicious.

Oh yes, and if you received a random email from me on Thursday about The Omen Days that you couldn’t read, no clue why. My tech teen decided that was a good plan, so please ignore it!

Okay, one of the themes that I have been hearing from a lot of you is overwhelm, the desire to hide, there’s grief, confusion, family dramas, the feeling of taking one step forward and three steps back, people pleasing , fatigue, the desire to shift things, boundaries and so much more.

All of which I can totally understand and appreciate.

As let’s be honest, the energies have been and will continue to be rather challenging.

But let me say to you – that if you are here at this moment in time, you are meant to be here. You are needed. That being said, it doesn’t make it easier, as being a spiritual being having a human experience can be rather challenging! And with overwhelm can come the sense of disconnect, fragility, fight/flight, freeze, or fawn.

The key thing to remember is that YOU DON’T HAVE TO RUN THE WORLD THROUGH YOUR SYSTEM!

“It’s not helpful to run the energy of the world through your system. It’s not helpful to attempt to carry the weight of the world on your back alone. It’s not helpful to let the problems of the world overwhelm you.” ~ Rebecca Campbell

Aligned, Healthy, Action isn’t possible from a place of overwhelm.

But how to deal with those feelings of overwhelm?

Start where you are. Carry what’s in front of you. Be responsible for what’s yours. Do what you can. Stay grounded. Transmute what you can.

Great Jenny, but how??????

Feel your feelings, so if you are angry look at what is triggering you. Sit with it, feel it and acknowledge, “Okay, what am I feeling? What is moving through me?” So first of all, feel your feelings and give yourself space to feel your feelings.

Then move and transmute them. This can be dancing, putting on a song that you really like and letting your body move with the feelings inside you. It can be going for a walk, getting out in nature, doing some exercise, creating something. Talking to a professional.

Do what fits you and that allows the feelings and energy to move through you and out.

Then ground yourself. Take time to bring all the parts of you back to yourself, see yourself anchored to the earth with a strong cord or golden light and a cord coming from your crown up to the Universe. Reclaim yourself, reclaim your power.

Tend to your Nervous system. With everything that has happened over the last few years, many of us have hypersensitive nervous systems now and so learning ways to regulate it, to calm (takes us out of overwhelm, flight, fight, freeze or fawn), is vital.

I do this a lot with clients and circles that I hold, as well as all the groups.

As this is a reading I can’t go into length or we would be here for ages, so let me give you 3 quick and easy ways. Breath work. Breathe out for 5, hold for 5, breathe in for 5, hold for 5. Repeat 5 times. (You can do this in a grocery store).

Hum. (yes, I said hum or sing). As we hum it creates a different vibration in the body, as we sing the same thing happens and we take in more oxygen.

Cold water face plunge. Big bowl of cold water, hold your breath, plunge your face in and blow bubbles galore – repeat 3 times.

Then from that place of groundedness (yes that is a word), and calmness take grounded action. What actions can you take (and they don’t have to be huge) to make yourself feel better? Is it learning to say No? Drinking more water? Getting more rest? Whatever it is that will help and support you.

Small daily grounded action transmutes the energy of overwhelm into an energy that serves and nourishes you. And remember that maybe your grounded action is to Rest.Okay, I have chuntered on long enough. Let’s crack on with the reading.

When I asked the cards who wanted to talk and guide this week I was delighted to see that it was the delicious Spirit of the Animals. So in case you may have never met them, let me introduce you. “Animal Medicine, Animal Totems, and Animal Mascots have had cultural significance throughout our history. Europeans adopted animals as tribal symbols that were later incorporated into crests for nations. China has an animal associated with every birthday. The Romans celebrated the eagle as the symbol for the empire. Our ancestors observed the appearance of animals as omens and signs. Shamans and mystics rely on spirit animal helpers. Native Americans have vision quests to discover their personal animal totem. School sports teams choose animal mascots. It is no wonder that the interest in animals as emblems and how they relate to us still persists. Animals as symbols live in our deepest memory.”

Okay delicious lovely, take a gorgeous deep breath and allow your shoulders to drop and your jaw to gently relax. I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a place of stillness, a place filled with ease and flow, a place where you feel connected to earth and source. From the place pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

If you need a bit more support there’s a wee guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

PENGUIN – AUTHENTIC

Penguin is the bird that cannot fly but instead swims. They can see better underwater than on land, symbolising better access to the subconscious mind than usual.

Penguins are full of surprises just like the people they represent. The males and females experience role reversals. Male penguins will sit on the eggs for months while their female counterparts hunt for food.

Penguin urges you to adapt to extreme circumstances, break free from expectations and reinvent yourself. Penguin says adapt, change, find your tribe, sing and celebrate your uniqueness.

Penguin people often feel awkward or out of place. Tapping into Penguin energy can help you embrace your differences. Self – acceptance is a big part of Penguin medicine. They remind us that there is no right way to be!

Like all diving birds, Penguin relates to the truth that lies below the surface. Maybe Penguin is telling you to go below, find your deeper truth and your most authentic self.

These are things in life that really matter. Finding like minded people (your tribe) will help you see your beauty as you see theirs.

The wisdom of Penguin asks you to just be the unique and colourful person that you are!

Break free from others’ expectations.

Love your uniqueness. Just be Yourself!

RAVEN – SHAMAN

If you have been a lover or ravens, collect their feathers, embrace their images, read their myths, observe them in nature and love black, then Raven is your totem.

It is said when magic is near, Ravens appear. Ravens are messengers from another world. They bring us secret knowledge about magic and divination. Ravens are the winged spirit advisors from our powerful subconscious. Raven people conspire with the energies of the universe to help them create their dreams. They experience continual learning and enlightenment. Raven people do not fear the darkness. The vast unknown is their storehouse of cosmic forces. Others can be drawn to Raven people but also be fearful of what they know.

If Raven is your totem you are creative and love playful interaction. You cultivate the natural philosopher within yourself. You have access to the subconscious mind and this incredible knowledge is yours to retrieve. If Raven is your totem, learn to meditate and reach deep within yourself to your own reservoir of wisdom. Go into the dark and bring back the light. Raven can fly you there and introduce you to riches of wisdom beyond your wildest imagination.

You are the creator and magician.

Use your gifts for good.

There is power in your wisdom and words.

Connect with the elemental spirits

And glide through the void.

Claim your place as Keeper of the Mysteries.

RAM – PERSEVERANCE

The majestic bighorn sheep, or ram, is a master of agility and bravery. They navigate rugged terrain at incredible speeds and land with confidence on the narrowest ledge.

They have sharp vision and an acute sense of smell. All of these traits help the bighorn sheep survive. The male ram has a unique set of horns that spiral out from their head. They never drop and they grow throughout the bighorn’s life, symbolising his fine mind. It is a gift Ram people share with their totem. Horns are an extension of the skull and have been called a natural antenna for intuition. The ram is a competitive lover. Be on guard for aggressive tendencies in your love life. Jealousy should most certainly be avoided.

If Ram has chosen you, you have success on your side. Ram urges you to use your fine mind to your advantage. You will persevere and go to great heights to succeed. Your reserves of strength and courage combined with your intuition will help you navigate the toughest circumstances.

Call upon Ram to make you brave in the face of risk and get ready to take a leap of faith. Your many talents will help you land with sure success.

You have many gifts.

No problem can withstand

The power of your mind.

With patience you can reach your mountaintop.

Never give up and good luck will follow.

Wow, what glorious guides for this week. Wishing you a week filled with grounded soul fed action, rest, and clarity. Talk to you later this week. Big hugs and squeezes.

The post In this Mercury Retrograde energy, Don’t run the world through your body! It’s time to Flourish! appeared first on Jenny Heston.

View Details

We aren’t going to bother with the Happy M, M, M, M, M day today, lol!

Why? ( to be honest I want to be outside watching the pieces of the eclipse I can see from the west coast!) Hence why you are receiving this earlier in the day!

So grab a cuppa as this is a long, information packed post!

Today is the Aries solar eclipse, combined with the Wood Dragon, Mercury retrograde and a number 8 year,

Can you say KAPOW!!!!Let me ask (as I didn’t do a reading last week as I played), how are you feeling with this eclipse portal and Mercury retrograde?

Some of you have shared that the energy has amplified and been challenging, others have shared that they have felt motivated, and for some – no impact.

So let’s dive into this Eclipse portal energy, as most of my astrologer friends are saying that it is the most powerful they have seen in over 20 years.

And then we will give the back piece of this year energy, and the Dragon energy (just for shits and giggles, or more a case of as humans we forget.)

Okay, so this eclipse portal is all about purifying, detoxing, and adding supreme extra juice to the new seeds we are planting.

But be clear, these are seeds that are aligned with your truest self.What do you want to do in a meaningful way in this life?The first eclipse on March 25th, in Libra, was hitting the South Node, which is all about dropping the karmic baggage, think of it like a shedding phase.

This is the place of glorious Shadow territory ( a territory that a lot of us humans try to avoid like the plague), but it is the place of hidden potentials.

When you are willing to do Shadow work and I mean deep work, you discover all the hidden potentials, the gifts and the wisdom that have been lurking there.

You discover your “Golden Shadow”, and the invitation with this eclipse energy is to really own it and nurture it.

Think of it like digging the dirt so that your seed can FLOURISH!

Today we have the second eclipse in Aries, and just to be clear – we started working with the Libra/Aries axis energy last July and it will go on until January 2025, so 18 months in total!!!!Aries brings glorious Sacred Warrior energy to the table, inviting you to get super clear, deal with your Karmic bullshit and stand up against the grain!

What do you stand for?

Because if you aren’t clear, the world around you will try to tell you and I’m pretty dang sure it won’t be in alignment with your truest self.

Not only do we have this eclipse in Aries, but Chiron conjunct this eclipse to the minute!

We will never see that again in our lifetimes (so yes, another big one).

Who is Chiron?

Chiron is the Wounded Healer and this is a time for some deep, deep healing and releasing of ancestral stories that aren’t yours (even though you may think they are).

It’s about allowing the wounds to surface and alchemise them.

Also, don’t forget that with Mercury retrograde it’s all about the RE words.

Revist, rethink, recreate, realign, readjust and more importantly with it happening in the middle of these eclipses – it will extend the eclipse energy.

Now do you see what is happening energetically? (So no, you haven’t been going crazy!)

So let’s talk about the container that this is all happening in, think of it like a glorious sacred bowl made of the Wood Dragon energy and the 8 energy.

Remember what I said near the beginning of the year…..

2024 is an 8 year, 8 is the number that takes everything and amplifies it!

It’s the year to really step into your power, your strength and there will be lots of lessons about having the courage to be yourself and to think outside the box.

If you have been a people pleaser, wowzer, there are going to be lots of lessons around this to help you finally release this pattern.

Throw in the energy of this being the Year of the Wood Dragon, and if you remember:-

Dragon is the only animal in the Chinese zodiac that is not of the mundane earthly world. It has the highest vision and broadest reach – they soar the highest and furthest. It’s a year to look beyond the conﬁnes and to dream big, to envision the future we want. Getting clarity on our purpose or mission is essential.

Authenticity is key and is of the highest vibration. We are asked to believe in ourselves, to remember who we are, to ﬁnd our own authentic story and not anyone else’s. The exalted Dragon insists on raising the standards, set your goals high for it’s time to really step up.

“Wood energy allows us to grow, expand, and keep our vision on track for the long term. The Season of Spring is connected to the element of Wood, so this year of the Dragon will help us to create new beginnings, plant new seeds, and allow our garden to flourish.

The energy is ripe for new beginnings and undergoing new ventures, but we have to create stability and work from the heart.

The words that come up strongly are Heart based, Strength, Authenticity and Personal Power.

Great Jenn, so remind me, why are we doing a recap?

Because as humans we tend to forget very quickly and we don’t work with the energies and the power we have inside ourselves to create a glorious tapestry of change, growth, ease and something that allows us to Flourish!

Phew! If you have read this far, you will have a comprehensive overview of what is happening on many levels.

So what are some things that you can do to help yourself move with this energy?

Look Mortality in the face. (Yes, seriously)

You have 1 week, 1 month, 1 year – what is it you want to create, what do you want to do?

Drop the mundane, the excuses, the bullshit and the habits.

Write a list.

Write a list of what doesn’t light you up.

Write a list of what lights you up.

What is calling to your depths and your soul that you keep putting off? Really sit with this and then…….let yourself be open to what comes up.

Sacred Warrior Practices

There are many practices I teach in the circles that I lead to help you tap into your own Divine Sacred Warrior.

The easiest one – do Warrior Pose (yes the Yoga pose). But do it with intention and really allow your body to stretch and your soul to sing into the spaces.

Okay, enough chuntering. I have a glorious big announcement for you, but I will send it out on Wednesday as this has been a lot for you to take in.

So my darling one envision yourself as your own Sacred Warrior, holding that pose of strength, clarity and all for the highest good. Allow that energy to swirl in on your breath and fill your cells, and as you breathe out, allow the “shoulds” to drop to the floor like dust.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a wee gander, shall we?

RENEWING YOUR LIFE

“Radiant Vitality is filling my life!”

A powerful inner and outer renewal is occurring in your life. Purification is happening on many levels.

Take your life to the next level by clutter-clearing.

Release situations and people that don’t empower you, space-clear your environment, and eat lightly. In order for renewal to occur, the old needs to make way for the new.

Sometimes it’s difficult for exciting experiences to come into your life if your auric field or your personal space is cluttered.

There’s simply no room for something new.

When you purify your life, you create the space for new opportunities to come flooding in.

If you have a sense that your auric field, your living space, or your body have become cluttered or dingy, this is the time to do some inner and outer clearing.

Ask yourself:

Is there anything I need to purify or clear out of my life?

Is there anything that needs to be renewed or re-examined in my life?

How can purification help me become a clearer channel for myself and others?

LETTING GO

“I surrender joyously to the ebbing and flowing of life.”

Surrender. Relinquish control and allow Spirit to take over. You don’t need to do everything by yourself.

All is well. It’s time to just let it all go and enjoy the ride!

Doing so gives others permission to let go in their own lives.

There are times to hold on for dear life, and times to simply throw up your hands and let go. It’s time to release any limiting patterns, emotional attachments, or inner and outer clutter.

Surrendering doesn’t mean that you’re yielding to a force outside of yourself.

It means that you’re allowing your soul to take over.

Release the stress of needing to control things, wanting to determine th outcome of a situation, or expecting others to act in a particular way.

There is a simple grace and beauty that unfolds when you truly let go.

Loving spiritual help is all around you……. Simply open your heart and let it in.

Ask yourself:

Is there anything I need to release?

Is there a person or situation I need to let go of?

Is there anyone who needs to let go of me?

PLANTING SEEDS

“Seeds of grace are being planted in the fertile soil of my soul.”

The fertile soil of your soul is ready to receive the seeds that will come to harvest in the years ahead.

Get clear on what you desire for yourself and your future.

Timing is vital, and now is your moment to plant spiritual seeds.

Every realised dream once started as an idea that took root.

For your projects, ideas, and dreams to come to fruition, you need to first become clear on what your heart truly desires.

Then ask yourself, Is this really what I want?

Believe that miracles can happen. Use this time to plant seeds for your future.

Nurture these precious seeds to that they will grow as strong as the mighty oak.

Take action in the desired direction of your dreams, but be willing to pull the weeds along the way.

It won’t be long before you are reaping the bounty of your labour.

Ask yourself:

What has blocked my seeds from taking root in the past, and how can I overcome this?

How can I best prepare for my desired future?

What is being sown for my future that I may not be consciously aware of?

All I can say is wowzer, wowzer, wowzer! Sending you glorious eclipse blessings, and if you are part of our amazing email community you will be the first to hear the announcement on Wednesday. Huge hugs and love.

Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Manifesting, Moony, Maddening Monday!

How was your Ostara (Spring Equinox?)

I took the day off and went and frolicked in the woods, watched 6 eagles dance in the sky and spent hours in my garden planting all sorts of delicious seeds, and finished off the day with a glorious ritual.

It was frigging deliciously, divine!

And guess what?Today we start Eclipse Season with the glorious Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Libra! (As a Libra person this one has been so present for me over the last 2 weeks.)

So what does this mean for you?

If you remember, eclipses come in pairs. As if they are a portal or a threshold.

Eclipses uncover hidden emotions, beliefs, thought patterns and habits.

They bring to the surface the bits and bobs we have been either trying to stuff into an already over cramped closet, or have continually swept under a rug (and we wonder why the rug has a bump in the middle!)

So if you have been feeling agitated, emotional or as I like to refer to it – “itchy, twitchy and bitchy”, I’m not surprised.

We start this Eclipse season as the emotion-ruling moon opposes the ego-ruling sun, creating a penumbral lunar eclipse in diplomatic Libra. This powerful event could illuminate how leaning into our selfish habits, competitiveness and impatience can sour even the most harmonious connections.

Use this as an opportunity to re-evaluate how you’ve been showing up in your relationships.

With this being a Full Moon Eclipse. Imagine the energy of a Full Moon intensified by 100, that is the energy this brings. The releasing of a full moon, the uncovering of an eclipse and the deep, deep spotlight on relationships and balance with Libra (with a zing!).

On top of it we have Mercury going retrograde on April 1st (thank goodness it is after Easter celebrations) which is all about transforming how we communicate. Speaking our truth, being willing to use our voice in our integrity.

“The portal that opens under this Libra Lunar Eclipse is one of endings. It seems that we are being guided to bring something to a close. Perhaps it’s a thought pattern, way of belief, or, perhaps it is something more tangible like the ending of a job, relationship, or chapter of our lives.”

The scales of Libra represent the balance between giving and receiving in our lives. Where are we giving too much? Where are we not giving enough?

These were questions that we asked at Spring Equinox – balance baby!

These questions are likely to be on our minds under the Eclipse and at the root of any issues that come up for us.

Our relationships are likely to be a big focus under this Eclipse, as Libra energy gets us to look at how we show up in our partnerships with others and what we are giving and receiving.

Are we being truthful and authentic to ourselves? (Very powerful question to ask!)Do we like who we become when we are in certain relationships?

Then to close off the Eclipse portal we have the first full Solar Eclipse on April 8th.

Prepare to take the reins as the spirit-driving sun conjuncts the empathetic moon in courageous Aries, we’ll be given the tools to recognize and claim what we need to truly thrive.

Epiphanies and surprises could also crop up, blessing us with empowering wisdom — just make sure you employ this newfound knowledge so you can continue to evolve and grow.

So in a nutshell, These powerful lunations can help drive us closer to our destinies — if we’re willing to put in the work.

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading.

When I asked the guides who wanted to come to play The Oracle of the Shapeshifters , they were front and centre.

If these glorious guides are new to you, let me please introduce them (as that is the polite thing to do)! “These are the magickal familiars, once the companions of shamans, witches, wizards, and wise ones – and now they are here for you.

Now is the time for you to undertake a great quest – to rebirth yourself within this lifetime and this quest of evolution does not need to be faced alone. We change and we change again. We fear change. Yet it comes. For us to fear change is as foolish as winter crying for the coming of spring. Change is. Fear corrupts.

These guides are here to support, encourage and help you through transformation and to teach you to let go of fear. True , deep change must take place for you to fulfil your soul contract.

You may have turned from possibility to what you have convinced yourself is probable: You diminish your possible self, reduce who you are, and dilute your spirit. But even when you have sought to remain invisible and hidden away, and said yes to everyone else, life will find you – and transform you. You are never alone with these beings.”

Frigging perfect guides for this time, Whoot!

So my darling one, take a lovely, luscious deep breath in and then blow it out like you are blowing a trumpet. Let yourself pause for a moment and invite in that place of balance, the giving and the receiving. The mask and the authenticity. Allow it to gently caress you and when you are ready. Pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

THE MERMAID AND THE TURTLE

An elder will teach you.

It is highly unlikely that a literal, experienced tribal elder will step forward in garb of feather and bone to guide you today – though such beings can appear in vision and in disguise (as shapeshifters, they can become almost anyone).

So while it may seem that there is no witch with her cauldron of transformation at the ready,, no Green Man to take you into the deep beneath of the underworld and help you to be reborn, there are ancient ones who are ready to teach you the deep knowledge of the planet and her oceans, and they come to you in many ways.

At this time, it is the turtles who will speak with you, letting you know of your very old soul and whispering words that reawaken knowledge that is deep in the blood and the bones of the Mother’s seas.

In order to grow, we must experience transitions and changes.

To be fully alive, we must die again and again, all in this lifetime.

While we have many rituals for birthdays and religious holidays, we often yearn for the depth of the rituals of the old days, during which part of us would die and another part of us would spring to life, and we would be reborn and renewed.

You are now about to celebrate life’s great shifts in more meaningful ways.

You are about to enter into a real relationship with the cycles of the planet – and you will be asked to observe these respectfully, thanks to the teaching of an elder.

A mentor, elder, or other wise one will instruct you at this time, but she may come in the form of any age.

Listen. Choose this person well.

It’s time to reclaim the practices that pulse in your bones, your ancestral and spirit lines.

SNAKE PRINCESS

The serpentine path to power.

Associated with the goddess, worshipped in the matriarchal cultures of Minoa, and venerated by many people, including the Hopi, the snake is life itself.

It is the marriage of the heavens and earth, and it symbolises the union of masculine and feminine.

The snake is your spine, your DNA, and your nervous system; it is the ancient serpent kundalini knowledge that has been denied for over two thousand years and now returns.

It may be time for you to carry a staff, a sacred tool around which the snake mother can twine and speak with you. You deserve to let this energy flow into you, for it is the ultimate energy of rebirth.

It is time for you to shed the skin of fear and conditioning, yet to still use your own wits.

The snake will support your intelligence, and the goddess will support your true self-love and acknowledgement.

You are about to receive knowledge of healing, of ancient times, of the beauty of what lies beneath – the underworld, with all its wisdom of crystals, minerals, and ancient worlds.

Speak and show who you are. You will not bite. You will grow strong. You will not poison.

You will inform us all with your brightness and illuminated apple, which when opened will reveal the five star seeds of wisdom. Do not refuse this apple. Do not heed the fear.

Transform and heal.

The propaganda about the snake and the serpent goddess has led us to fear this creature and our deep, wise, ancient self, and to forgo many blessed forms of connecting with the divine and with our own DNA.

My home is this tree of the world, where all souls flow from. Your soul is nurtured by my presence and wisdom of the tree.

Eat of our fruit. It is your soul nourishment.

And do not let the fears and the lies you have been taught be the reason you deny me.

You are strong enough. You are worthy enough.

QUETZALCOATL AND THE PRIESTESS OF TIME

The time has come. The time to act is now.

The feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl is at the heart of the Mayan people’s traditions, and he is a timekeeper.

His return is now, and thus this is the time of most rapid transformation, of the clarity of a thought that can manifest into reality immediately.

We are in the most challenging and fantastic times ever on this planet, and Quetzacoatl heralds a shift between worlds of consciousness.

He and his influence are now the reality, and those who refuse to step up and embrace and incorporate the new energies will find themselves deep in struggle and unhappiness over and over.

Instead, it’s time to refuse to allow fear to corrupt your courage and to do what must be done!

Will you shift your consciousness – will you change deliberately, despite the fear and the others who tell you that you are wrong?

Will you move away from fighting, opposition, the either/or mentality, and shift into a being-ness that allows for a much greater reality?

The time is now. That is all you need to know – but there is much that you must do.

A deliberate effort to move away from navel gazing and procrastination will transform into a determination to become through doing, thinking, being, sharing, and insisting o n the new reality’s truths for you.

It is time to embrace a new standard of excellence and to make that your creed.

Do not wait another heartbeat.

Oh my giddy aunt. Glorious guides for you this week, and for the beginning of Eclipse season! There will not be a reading next week as it is Easter Weekend and I plan to go in search of the wascally wabbit and try and purloin some choccie eggs! (Also spend time playing with my family and in the garden!) See you on the next Eclipse. Buckle up darling one, it’s going to be delicious!

First off, thank you to all the amazing emails, comments and messages I received after the post about betrayal. I so appreciated them all and the sharing that occurred. Also, thank you for checking why there wasn’t a reading last week.

After the last reading, I had two amazing friends die suddenly.

And whilst I was reflecting on them, and prepping dinner – I managed to successfully slice through my nail bed and take the top of my thumb off. Will say, it hurt like a bugger! (Note to self, pay attention to the super sharp knife!)

Anyhow, I don’t know about you but the Spring Equinox and Eclipse energy are fully ramping up!

Tuesday, March 19th is Spring Equinox, Ostara and it offers so much for you to tap into. My dreams have been rather odd (cool, but odd) and my brain and body are making me really look at the seeds that I am intentionally planting, both figuratively and literally.

So what does Spring Equinox mean for you?

Ostara (Spring Equinox) is that delicious place of change. If you want to learn more, go deeper and explore this glorious energy there is the Ostara Magickal Guide (also known as OMG!).

March has that energy of transition, caught between winter’s grasp and spring’s open arms.

The Equinox brings the time when light is perfectly balanced with the darkness.

This is a powerful time that represents seeds of intention, awakening, growth and rebirth.

It’s the perfect time to do some reflection and align yourself with the habits that will allow you to truly flourish this season.

So let me ask:-

How will you support yourself during this transition?

How will you grow, glow & flourish this spring?

What types of balance are you creating in your life?

What are the seeds that you want to plant for yourself?

Remember, this is the time of Beginnings, Fresh Energy, Setting Intentions and planting them with love and care.

With the Spring Equinox your spirit is waking up with new ideas & new dreams for your life.What are you going to plant?

Equinox is a good time to consider balance in our lives, not only of happiness and sadness, but also of the areas in which we are active and passive, successful and falling short, giving and taking.

What are you receiving (and do you want to keep it)?

And what are you giving (and do you need to)?

“It is said that on the Equinox, the energy grid of the planet moves into higher harmony, allowing us to soak in the healing powers of Mother Nature with greater ease.

With the energy grid of the planet alive and awakened, we can also replenish our own energy centres of the body and send our thoughts and intentions out into the Universe for creation.

Along with this powerful Equinox energy, we also celebrate the start of the astrological year on this day. This is because, in Western Astrology, the March Equinox coincides with the start of Aries Season, the first sign of the zodiac.”

And right after this glorious Equinox time where we consider balance we have a powerful Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Libra coming in on March 25th.

This is the first eclipse of the year and the season.

This is the perfect opportunity to assess, reflect and leave behind anything that is disturbing your balance or preventing you from achieving true harmony.

Yes?

Perfect, then let’s crack on with the reading. If these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you to Blessed Be.

“May these cards and guides offer you ways to enter into deeper appreciation of your life and its manifold blessings. May you have hope, understanding and kindness. And most of all, may you know deep within your soul, that thou art blessed.”

Frigging perfect!

So take a moment to become present. Right here, right now, right in this minute.

As you breathe, allow your mind’s eye to show you the balance. The balance between what you are giving and receiving. Then when you are ready pick the card that calls to you.

If you want to go deep. As a gift to you on this Spring Equinox time, a glorious guided Spring Equinox meditation/visualisation.

Did you remember to pick?

Then let’s go have a good gander shall we?

A BLESSING FROM YOUR ANCESTORS

A blessing to bring you the gifts and guardianship of your ancestral family.

Within your bloodline, and within your spiritual line, there are thousands of relatives who care for you, and whose cells now sing within your body. You are their future dream, you carry forward the hopes of your distance and most ancient family.

They have seen so much – yes, in other times and faraway places, but they come to you now and bless you with all the wisdom of their experiences, making you the sum total of a thousand thousand wise ones.

Call upon the wisdom of the blood, the old ones who stand behind you, supporting and holding you, clearly giving to you the knowledge that experience taught them.

Let only the ancestors who can free you, aid you, support you, and celebrate the best of themselves within you come forward, and may the ailments and regrets of those who have gone before teach you what not to do in this time.

If the family be thin on the ground, or if there is estrangement at present, let the arms of the old ones hold you, form a circle about you, and infuse you with everything you may need at this moment.

You are loved across the distance of time.

May you be blessed and may you have with you the essence of the Elder, the Teacher, the one who shows, the one who shares with the younger ones, the one who keeps the skills alive inside you, and all about you.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING ON A FRIENDSHIP

A blessing for a friendship where your best self is given permission to emerge and grow, and where mutual love is shared in good times and in bad.

May your friendship be blessed with laughter, but never at the expense of the dignity of one of you.

May your friendship be a delight to you both, a time of warmth and sharing, give and take, small offerings of what you have sent back and forth between you. May you be kind to each other, and honest too.

May you have the trust that true friendship needs to speak of things for the soul, and may there be loyalty, one to the other, without chains or obedience, but freely given.

May there be affinities of the spirit, differences to exalt in, and if harsh thoughts or words enter in and blight the path or your companionship, may you pick them up as a stone in the road, and move them out of your way.

Let there be mutual care, and may your friendship endure amidst the inconsistencies of the world. Let your friendship have its seasons, but let it turn, on and on, ever – changing, ever-returning, to the place where you find love for each other, and greater love of self for knowing one another.

BLESSED BE!

A BLESSING OF FORGIVENESS

A blessing to be able to be free of the burden of grudges and vengeance, a prayer to help you open up to the blessing that is forgiveness.

Forgiveness is a tricky beast – and yes, for all it is a gentle word, it is a great beast, forgiveness. For when we seek to forgive, we must wrestle with the wrongdoing that lies at the heart of our resistance to let go of the pain we are holding on to. When we need to forgive, it is often that we are too raw, too far away from justice to be able to even touch the side of the balm of forgiveness.

Yet staying angry for long periods of time can develop into a compacted bitterness, and bitterness is a gall to all who wish to live freely.

But what can we do when the wrong is still very much alive, and to forgive another seems to be diminishing their harm, and their potential to harm others.

Justice and forgiveness must work hand in hand, and in this blessing they will now begin to entwine, so that while you begin to forgive first yourself, for whatever wrong was done to you, there is often an element of self-blame.

First, know that whatever wrong was done to you, it is not your fault. And begin the work of forgiving yourself.

May the blessing of this self-forgiveness be bestowed upon you now, dear friend. Know you will gently untangle the doubt and recriminations that have settled like thorns about your heart, and invaded your mind’s peace. And as begin to forgive yourself, you will also begin to find forgiveness for the injustices you have endured

Let the anger burn down into coals from which you, phoenix-like, can arise.

And know you have forgiven – forgiven the other for their dark gift. Forgiven life. And most of all, delivered the pure medicine of forgiveness to yourself.

BLESSED BE

Wowzer, those were glorious guides. As quite frankly, if you aren’t willing to work with forgiveness you can’t create something different, something more supportive. Equinox blessings and see you next week! Remember to get your Ostara Magickal Guide!

Happy Miraculous, Misty, Melodious, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting March Monday!

Whoot, the first Monday of March, and did you remember to say “White Rabbits” on Friday?

So I will give you a heads up. We are talking about some deep, slightly intense things as well as the March energy and what it offers you. Why?

The reason being I have been mulling over how to write this reading and have been given kicks in the arse over and over again this week to be fully transparent: is my writing, business and life are all intertwined and are who I am. I have no choice.

So let’s talk about betrayal.Have you ever felt betrayed, been betrayed or betrayed someone else?

I will say as a therapist, betrayal either of one’s self, done to you by someone else, or you doing it to someone else is one of the deepest wounds.

We talk about the witch wound, the mother wound, the sister wound, but betrayal is genderless, and it’s ugly, unpleasant to say the least and can leave you feeling in complete turmoil and stirs up all sorts of grief, shame, and blame.

There is even such a thing as Betrayal Trauma!

But what is Betrayal? Betrayal is to do with destroying trust and in layman’s terms – shafting someone and can often come from misrepresentation (thus deception), gaslighting and various other ways.

Why am I bringing this up?

As you know I have been germinating, creating, planning and birthing a glorious new project for years (actually there are 3 of them and 2 more burbling up)!

Someone that I have known for years, and I considered a friend as well as a colleague kept wanting to participate. So why not?

This is where Boundaries and Intuition come in.As much as I cared for this person and valued some of their skill set, I didn’t fully trust them.

There was no “logical” reason, other than for some reason they wanted to be added as an admin to all the groups and programmes I was doing. (That should have been a red flag.)

So over the last 4 years I had made excuses not to participate in things together that would have my name and reputation attached to them, as there was that niggle, that -hmmmmm feeling.

This time I overrode it. I will never, ever make that mistake again.

I had other colleagues, friends continually say – amazing creation, but this person doesn’t smell right. Guess what? Deep in my soul I knew it and overrode it.

I even had my guides say it and I overrode it.

Even when things were presented as “helping” (but actually it meant control), and I would speak to it. The response didn’t go well, so to placate I made my boundaries too fluid, as after all this was a friend, right?

Bad plan. Well you can guess what happened, I don’t need to go into the gory details, but needless to say it went sideways. And in a big fucking way! Like a huge way and things that were mine, were no longer mine.

And the fun piece was this all happened just after the Virgo Full Moon which holds the energy of purging, clearing from the inside out and listening to our hearts, body, minds, and souls. (You seriously can’t make this shit up!)

So yes, I went through shock, betrayal, the disregulated nervous system, feeling pig sick and “oh fuck”, all of the many and varied responses to a betrayal.

But to be honest the bottom line was I felt so frigging stupid and angry with myself for not honouring my boundaries and intuition, (and as I found out later – being played.)

Then I was handed a lifeline. Two other women who had experienced the same thing reached out to me and shared their experiences, which were the same. One shared with me that for the last four years this person had wanted to do a collaboration as they wanted my audience.

Parasitic was the word that was used.

So why am I sharing this with you?

If you have ever experienced betrayal I want you to know it’s not you, it’s them.

In my field of work, one of the worst forms of an abuser is a victim – as they won’t own their piece and everything is personal for them.

So it’s important to talk to people, feel your feelings, disconnect from the person or situation, love the fuck out of yourself, forgive yourself, and be uber kind to yourself. (Those are just a few of the things you can do).

So I am dusting my bruised soul off, loving the crap out of myself and sending this delightful individual tons of blessings – as I know my value, worth and work, and I feel sad for them, and wish them well.

And for all you gorgeous people who have expressed an interest in The Numinous Collective, it is happening with the clarity, depth and all the goodness I originally planned.

So you will hear more about it this week.

Funnily enough all this bullshit ties into the energy of March which is Pragmatic Progress.

As Lena very kindly shares with us:

Focus on getting as emotionally and intuitively as clear as possible about what you want for your future. Sometimes it is easier to contemplate what you don’t want and set boundaries against manifesting the same old thing.

Along with the positive and forward movement, there is a foggy, hazy influence that can be supportive in dissolving an attachment you may still have to an old pattern. It can also support your creativity and imagination to dream a bit outside the box and envision your future in ways you were reluctant to do in the past.

Okay, I have talked enough. And if you have actually read this far – please know how much I appreciate you and am so glad you are part of my community!

Let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the guides and asked who wanted to come out – there was a BooYah moment as these gorgeous ones are all about Sovereignty, honesty and authenticity. Right now, right this minute, please embrace all the inhabitants of your inner realm, because each deserves respect and a place at the table. Even the unruly, the inconvenient, the ugly.

When your intent is to create rather than compete, you don’t have to dominate. Your influence is enough.

This is power with rather than power over.

Invite in all the pieces of yourself, all the things that are bothering you today and wrap them in the blanket of inclusion and assert your authority.

So darling one I invite you to just breathe and think about your own boundaries and intuition. How are they? Are they healthy, strong and pliable? Do they need a wee bit of tending like a glorious garden fence? With that energy swirling I invite you to breathe and then pick the card or cards that resonate for you at this moment, with this forward moving energy of March and trust.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

PSYCHE

Nobody runs into the arms of change with mad passionate delight yelling, “Pick me! Pick me!”

And yet, without change, there is no growth. And since no growth comes from comfort, you might as well get used to being uncomfortable.

The caterpillar has a complete meltdown, literally, inside its chrysalis. The cells of that mushy substance, known as imago cells, are no longer caterpillar cells but they are not yet butterfly cells.

You might say imago cells represent a third creature, one that doesn’t know what it is yet, one that is unbecoming and becoming at the same time, carrying the image (imago) of what it might yet be when it emerges.

Please get comfortable in your chrysalis, and make friends with not knowing. This is the only place where your new wings are grown, along with the new image of what you can be in the world.

It’s okay to not know. In fact, it’s glorious.

Embrace the messy mush of cells your current reality has gifted you.

Somewhere between unbecoming and becoming, your wings are growing, and the imago containing who you can be is embracing its colour, radiance and vitality !

SISTERHOOD OF RECIPROCITY

Tend to your partnerships.

This could be a time to review or negotiate business, renew romance or friendship, or nurture the very partnership you have with your own soul.

Much of our world suffers from a lack of understanding what our ancestors knew so well: all life is dependent on the generosity of our planet. There is no thriving without her good graces for food, water, shelter and beauty, and we’d do well to remember it with reciprocity.

Is it time to share? Celebrate her bounty? Give back to her resources? To your relationships or communities?

Long ago we honoured the lack of resources in the winter season with hopeful light-giving ceremonies. We celebrated the harvest with offerings and gratitude. We marked each season, each birth, death and love affair by honouring our Earth Mother as benefactress.

Carry this practice forward, know that all parts of your life are interdependent with the elements, creatures and plants of the earth, the same way that your healthy psyche relies on all parts working together.

Balance your genius with your shadow. Reconcile love with fear. Strike a balance between logic and emotion.

All parts of your life that you are proud of must dance with those monstrous parts you fear in order to experience a bountiful, creative life.

Take stock of where you are entwined in a healthy partnership, and where you are not.

This is a time for tending the dance of reciprocity.

THE LION QUEEN

Check your boundaries.

Are they crafted securely to honour your sovereignty?

To uplift and support your values and enhance your own sense of inherent value?

Or are they softly drawn, slipping loose to accommodate others’ needs and wants before your own? Are they aligned with sacrifice? Selflessness? Compliancy?

Are you protecting your good girl image by caretaking the needs of others? Or are you protecting your precious life force by giving others an opportunity to develop their own sovereignty by saying “no”?

You know you can’t let what’s urgent get in the way of what’s important.

Your deep inner life is the source from which all your creativity, intimacy and relationships flow, so protect both your energy and integrity by drawing a circle around your creative time, your quiet time, and whatever space – internal and external – that imbues you with a sense of belonging.

Now is the time to get fierce with your boundaries.

You are worth it!

Oh my fucking goddess! You seriously can’t make this shit up. What amazing guides as we step into March, dancing with boundaries, intuition, releasing betrayal and moving into the place of Pragmatic Progress! Whoot!

Have a stupendous week. Always, always, always please remind yourself of your sovereignty, your boundaries, your delicious kind heart and shake the shit off!

Happy Magickal, Moony, Mysterious, Magnificent, Moodling, Manifesting Monday!

How was this Full Moon for you (the one that happened on Saturday?)

I will say for the few days prior to her culmination my dreams were most certainly odd, one of them had a feral mole in! (As in the animal).

When I bolted up from the dream the moon was pouring in her light all over my bed, so I bathed in moonlight.. Which was fabulous!

Remember, this moon invites change and transition for you, to step into something new and melded with the Wood Dragon energy – YES!

But as we know – change and transition can feel hard and scary, but this is the year dear heart, this is your year.

Also, just as the moon was coming to culmination (what a great word) – The Numinous Collective Doors Opened!

I will say I am so fucking excited and tickled about this project, as between Lisa and I we have about 55 years of teaching, living and breathing this stuff.

This is such a powerful, glorious and rich container – hence why we are doing applications, as that is the transformative energy around it.

If you are really serious about your growth, transformation and really stepping into yourself and your Sovereignty – come check out The Numinous Collective!

I’m tickled that March is romping in at the end of this week as I love Spring and most certainly adore Spring Equinox! It’s that beautiful point of birth, creation and planting your intentional seeds, but we will discuss that more next week.

However, do let me remind you to holler White Rabbits on Friday as the first thing you say when you open your eyes!

Why? Good question – I have been doing it since I was wee, but I went and did a bit of digging as to where the saying came from.

What I found was, in fact, “White rabbits, white rabbits’ was written in the ‘Notes and Queries’ book from 1909.

The word must be spoken aloud, and be the first word said in the month to bring great luck.

It also was a common belief among RAF bomber aircrew during WW2 that saying “white rabbits” the very first thing upon waking would protect oneself.”

Don’t you just love finding out where traditions have come from? I do.

Okay, enough chuntering let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

When I asked my guides how they wanted to share with you this week I was tickled to see that they picked the wonderful Sacred Destiny Oracle, who have been rather shy about doing public readings, but this week they were 100% on board.

So in case you have never met them, let me introduce you – and if you have met them before, let me reintroduce you (as not to do so is rude!). “You have a sacred destiny; we all do.

There is a powerful and profound reason that you are here on the planet.

However, sometimes it may be difficult to understand what that reason is and perceive what is required on your journey into the future. It may be a challenge to know what the next step in life should be.

This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul. In ancient traditions, shamans, medicine women, witches, visionaries, and prophets all accessed hallowed knowledge by observing their natural environment.

These wise beings stepped through mystic gateways into inner realms to bring back meaning to the seemingly random event of life. “

Woosah! Perfect guides for this perfect time! (You seriously can’t make this shit up!)

Thus, I invite you to slow down for a few minutes. Just breathe yourself back into your body and the here and now. Let your breathing slow down, your jaw soften and a sense of release and creation fill your mind’s eye. Gently swirling and soothing you. Then, when you are ready, pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

If you need a bit more support there is a wee guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a peek!

ENLIGHTENMENT

Our beautiful home galaxy is so large that if you travelled at the speed of light, it would take you 100,000 years to go from one end to the other. (It is small compared to some galaxies – for example, the Hercules A galaxy would take 1.5 million years to cross at the speed of light.)

The realm of galaxies is so vast and so wide that it is beyond human comprehension, which is why the galaxy often symbolises great enlightenment as well a faith in the forces much greater than us.

So what does this sacred landscape want you to know?

Enlightenment occurs when one steps out of the confines of an ordinary definition of self and expands into a greater awareness of the self within the Universe.

You are now reaching into the invisible realm of Spirit and connecting with what you cannot see. Forces beneath the surface are supporting you on your journey.

Have FAITH in yourself! You are so much more than you believe yourself to be.

Have patience that there is a plan unfolding. The sky’s the limit! You are entering into a time of expansive transformation in a luminous and remarkable way.

Trust that the changes ahead are for the greater good, for most certainly they are.

And if you ever doubt, step outside and let the stars remind you!

COMMUNITY

The towering ancient trees in a forest look distinct from one another.

Yet beneath the surface of the earth, their roots are intertwined.

The roots act like a kind of communication system throughout the community of trees. Instantaneous messages travel through this underground system. Nutrients can travel on this network.

Trees at one side of the forest can supply the nourishment required on the other side of the forest. Danger at one end of the network is communicated to the far end of the intertwined roots.

What does this Sacred Landscape want you to know?

Support is all around you, even if you are not consciously aware of it. Allow yourself to be supported. Give encouragement to others.

The more you allow yourself to be supported, the more your dreams can come true. If you believe that you have to do it all alone, you will.

Your true family is not just blood relationships; sometimes the strongest family ties are friends who know who you are.

Sometimes they are your ancestors and soul families who reside in the Spirit.

It’s time to find your community and your “people.”

It’s the time of remembering that your people are at your side – believing in you, loving you, and standing strong beside you.

Call on your community, and ask for their assistance. They are only a thought away.

ILLUMINATION

As the sun risers over the far mountains, mists begin to spiral upward, illuminated by the golden, radiant rays of morning light.

In many traditions, mist symbolises what is called the “mystic veil”, which represents an entrance point into unseen realms.

In ancient and native cultures, mists are associated with mystical and magical inner dimensions. Mist in the mountains represents higher states of consciousness.

What does this Sacred Landscape want you to know?

The upward, spiralling mists rising in the mountains suggest that those in the realm of Spirit – your spirit protectors, ancestors, and guardians – are close at hand, assisting you on your upward journey of illumination.

They are protecting you and supporting you.

Your spiritual life is expanding by leaps and bounds.

Even if you can’t see what’s ahead, Spirit is close at hand.

Where’s your tribe to connect with and support you?

Trust your heart and what you feel more than what you see and what you think, and you will be guided in the most perfect direction.

Don’t let fear influence your choice.

Woosah, what glorious guides for this delicious week. So my dear one, wishing you a week filled with ease, release, creating and laughter. Oh and a big posy of bobbly headed daffodils. Remember to check out The Numinous Collective – we look forward to welcoming you home!

Big hugs and squeezes!

Happy Magickal, Mysterious, Mellifluous, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

How are you gorgeous bean?

Did you have a glorious week? I had so much fun on Valentine’s Day, we shot an episode of our Kitchen Table Confidential podcast and video, where we talked about love. It was so much fun!

(And BTW if you have a topic that you want explored in a real, raw and knowledgeable way, let us know!)

In the afternoon I wandered downtown where people are camping on the street and took them wee packages of dark/white chocolate, cranberry, oatmeal cookies.

Oh my gosh, the stories that were shared were incredible, heart rending and mind blowing. So do please remember, when you see someone who is homeless, remind yourself – you don’t know their fucking story.

So don’t judge.

You might want to say “There but for the grace of God go I.” (Makes us all a bit more humble)

I performed two amazing weddings this last weekend, and they were both so deliciously different and the ceremonies we created really reflected the personalities of each couple.

And with today being a holiday here, I have purged so many decks or oracle cards and tarot cards and left them in the wee libraries for people to find.

It felt the right thing to do with this delicious energy of change and transformation flowing around, and whomever picks them – it’s the perfect time and person.

This week all sorts of yumminess is happening.The first thing is the doors to The Numinous Collective are opening, so make sure you are on the pre-list (thank you Goddess for changing our plans!)

And I am so friggin excited about it all. This is going to be an intimate, deep, transformative group – hence why we are taking applications and having chats prior.

The doors to Mastery and Manifestation are opening as well, and I love, love, love teaching this.

Then on Saturday, February 24th we have the glorious SNOW MOON (aka The Quickening Moon or the Hungry Moon).

The February Full Snow Moon has a certain mystique and power that instantly draws us in.

Winter is still ever-present, and freezing winds cut through our jackets and force us to tighten our scarves. Depending on where you live, snow continues to fall, and it can start to feel like these bitter and icy days will never end.

However, a stir is just beneath the surface, a quickening heart full of tiny changes that may go unnoticed by others.

The days begin to get longer, some animals begin their mating season, and the birds are a bit more active.

As the sunlight strengthens, your dreams and ambitions for the year are beginning to take shape as well.

The Snow Moon in February signifies a period of change and transition. The weather is unpredictable during this time, swinging between bright sunshine and snowy, cloud-covered days.

Take a moment to reflect on what people in ancient times had to contend with during this season. They spent so much time storing their food and supplies and slowly watched them dwindle. Will they make it through the last of the cold winter days that lay ahead?

Remember, growth during the Snow Moon isn’t always comfortable or easy.

Figure out ways you can relax and surrender to this transitional season. How can you clear out the unnecessary to make room for the meaningful?

During this time, we start to move past the goal-setting stage and into the realistic planning stages. How are you going to make your intentions come to fruition?

Direct your magical intentions on rituals this month focused on new habits, goals, and plans for the future.

Take some time to really focus and be present. Contemplate your personal and spiritual intentions. This is a truly magical time, full of beautiful energy and momentum!

This is the energy of change, hope, creativity, and growth.Okay enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading. This week we have glorious new guides and the introduction they have asked me to give you is this:

Tap into the ancient wisdom of the animal kingdom by embracing your unlimited intuition.

So darling one, take a moment to just BE. Breathe in the energy of change, hope, creativity and growth. What do you want to be different for you this year? What would you like to release at this Snow Moon and how can you make the changes you want to experience? This is not a “thinking” exercise, this is a feeling one. Allow whatever that needs to flow up, to come up and then when you are ready. Ask your wise inner self to pick.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

SPIDER

Create

It’s time to weave your creativity and imagination into being.

By weaving our individual stories into words, music, dance, art, or any creation of our own making, we craft a web of our self for others to view.

Use your creativity and vision to explore your inner self and express it honestly.

Druids believe that the spider is a weaver of the written word.

The Druid Ogham alphabet, with its crossed lines, may be found in the web of a spider.

The web may be seen as interconnecting stories and pathways, or a woven spiral from the past to the future.

If you are feeling stagnation or creative blocks, it is the cobwebs that form in your mind when it is dusty and littered.

Try and find your creative voice once more after it has been lost amidst the mire of other people’s demands. Make art for yourself and no one else, and try to rediscover your footing on the delicate web of creativity.

It’s time to create and weave your destiny.

WOLF

Instinct

It’s time to start paying attention to your instincts and trusting your own animal-self.

As a human, we are grounded in the natural world and should respect our senses and gut reactions.

The wolf is an integral creature in many North American indigenous cultures. The observation of the wolf as a wanderer made them synonymous with path-finding and trail-blazing.

The wolf is inviting you to follow your instincts and find your own path through the wilderness.

Remember to trust your own instincts in the face of those who might tie you down or attempt to overpower, or diminish you.

Do not suppress your instincts and try to stuff your emotions into a bottle to keep others happy, if you do, they might just explode!

It’s time for you to walk with your inner Wolf gorgeous one.

JACKALOPE

Believe

It’s time to believe and appreciate the unknown.

The mythological jackalope, a rabbit or hare with the horns of a deer or antelope, is found in folklore all over the world and consistently ignites the imagination of storytellers through the present day.

The jackalope reminds us that many unbelievable stories begin with fact, and to appreciate magick in our everyday.

The jackalope is a symbol of unique perspective and eccentricity, and is a symbol of powerful creativity.

It carries the message to believe in yourself, and know that there are forces within you that have yet to be seen or believed by others.

Use your imagination and your gifts to find the balance between the Imaginal and the Earth based worlds.

Release any old stories that hold your imagination hostage.

Wowzer, perfect cards for this energy! Whoot! Wishing you a stupendous week, a glorious Full Moon and if you want to find out more about the Numinous Collective, make sure you are on the pre-list, as spaces are limited. If you want to know more about Mastery and Manifestation, please feel free to email me. Massive hugs, squeezes and warmth.

Happy Merry, Magickal, Miraculous, Magnetic, Manifesting, Moony Monday!

How was your New Moon and Chinese New Year? How does it feel to be in the year of The Wood Dragon (this is a pretty frigging amazing year if you are willing to embrace it.)

As you know, I love celebrations so of course we had a lovely Chinese New Year gathering filled with awesome food, red envelopes and games! It was delicious.

So do you ever think “Oh fuck!”, and realise you have made the Goddess laugh her soxs off, but if you breathe into that space it’s so much better than you had planned? I had a huge one of those on this glorious Aquarius New Moon (and don’t get me wrong I love it when I make the Goddess laugh, well actually not when it is happening, but hindsight yes!)

So as you know Lisa Wolfe and I are doing an amazing collaboration that we were going to call The Numinous Circle, yes? The doors would open for applications and conversations on Chinese New Year and all the rest of it.

Well, then there was the Goddess laughing! Yup. I mean seriously frigging laughing!!!

She came roaring in and changed the name, the time frame, the structure and asked us both if we would like to pour even more into it (appreciating we had already), but wowzer – we have.

The container of The Numinous Collective is so rich, so full and I’m still reeling from it all. Thus, if you want to be on the email list for when the doors and applications open please do!This week a huge part of the culture will celebrate Valentine’s Day (a deliciously made up Hallmark celebration), where apparently for one day a year we celebrate romantic love (you really don’t want to hear my thoughts on this at all lol).

I don’t know about where you live, but here all the stores (even the grocery ones) are filled to the brim with chocolates, roses, orchids and smelly cheeses! Apparently, if you are in love these are the food groups you should eat and the objects that you should surround yourself with! Lol.

But what if your Love Language isn’t about gifts and objects? What if your Love Language is about acts of service, time spent together, having a fabulous hug or snuggle? How does a box of choccies and a bunch of commercial roses fill those needs?

I will be honest, for myself I much prefer, instead of a bunch of flowers, give me some bags of dirt, some plants and then let me play! Or better yet, clean my windows and make me a cuppa tea, or cook me a nice dinner!

Personally I find Valentine’s Day irritates me, not because I don’t believe in love, but why on earth do we need just one day where we are meant to be loving, and why is it only focused on romantic love?

What if you aren’t in a romantic relationship? What if you’ve lost your partner? I mean for criminies sake, why aren’t we celebrating all forms of love – family, friends, community, nature, spiritual and most importantly self love?

Because, let’s be honest – without self love and appreciation for your own gorgeous being, you don’t have anything! (And NO self love is NOT selfish!)

Had to clear that up as one of my clients a while ago said that they felt selfish taking time for themselves and doing something nurturing.

Self-love is all about nourishing your mind, spirituality, and physical body. Try to aim at all three of these to create a more well-rounded self-care plan. Focus on activities you get excited about doing. This is all about you after all, if it doesn’t give you a little thrill, why bother?

Here’s a lovely, easy candle ritual for self love for you to do. So what are you going to do for yourself this week, to acknowledge how special and wonderful you are?

I know what I am going to do, most certainly.

Okay, I have chuntered on enough. When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide this week I was delighted to see that the Wild Kuan Yin Oracle were adamant! (And I mean adamant). If these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them:

You dream of living your highest destiny with fearlessness and joy. You are one of the wild ones. You will not be tamed by convention. You will not be censored by the fears of others. You are not afraid to be different. You are not afraid to be open to life, to take risks for what you love, and most of all, to keep hope in your heart.

When the loving peace of Spirit seems too far away from the troubles of the physical world the Divine Mother will hold your hands, close to your heart, or rest gently on your forehead. She will bring you comfort.

She’ll remind you of your fire, your boldness, your unique beauty, your passion, your courage. She’ll guide you through even the darkest loss into the blessing of new life.

Fabulous!

As it opens, see it filled with love, all sorts of love and allow it to soothe you and to remind you that you are love incarnate. Then when you’re ready pick the card or cards that dance around your heart.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

BLESSING TO BEGIN

You are being given a divine “leg up”, a blessing to begin. The Divine is going to help you launch something important – an idea, a seedling of hope, a new start.

It may feel as though something is being handed to you, as though the Divine is offering you some sacred help. Don’t fall into the trap of believing that because it is easy in the beginning it is not worthwhile or important. It is!!!

Sometimes we get an infusion of divine energy into a start-up to get it going because the Divine knows how important it is and wants to give us a helping hand.

Accept the help and opportunity that so easily comes your way now, but also remember that you are being given help because there is something of great worth here.

Whatever stage you are at in the manifestation of your dreams, be it the earliest glimmer of a vision or one that you have invested decades of your life to and on which you are far along the path, the gift of the Mother is bestowed upon you – her red poppy of success.

Take a step. You have been thinking about it. Do it.

It may be an actual journey or a new class, a new habit or speaking the truth to others about something meaningful to you. Or it may be an opportunity that is about to sweep in unexpectedly.

The Divine will protect and assist you and in taking a step, you open up avenues for the universe to bless you with all manner of resources and assistance. The assurance and blessing of the Divine Mother empowers your own soul to take even the most apparently impossible or intimidating of prospects and turn them into accomplishments whilst growing in self-confidence and self-mastery.

So believe in yourself. The Divine Mother does.

GRANDMOTHER DRAGONFLY HOLDS THE WISDOM

However, if fear, boredom or lack of commitment is beneath the quest for new adventures, if we are believing that what we need or want is always just beyond the next horizon, or that somehow the grass is greener in the next field rather than where we stand, we may be dissuaded from applying ourselves to the worthwhile tasks before us right now.

However, if we were to stop and look clearly at what we already have in our lives, we could realise that there is much of value waiting to be put to use.

The sunflower holds wisdom medicine for humanity.

Growing from seed, it sprouts tall with a firm stalk and flexible head that follows the arc of the sun across the daytime sky. At the end of its life cycle, as the head withers and the plant faces the earth, its vibrant yellow petals collapse, turn brown, releasing its seeds. These seeds hold the life force of the plant, distilled.

Highly nutritious and supportive of life for future plants and even for human beings, the sunflower’s seeds allow for life to continue to expand and flourish on earth.

There will be much more success, prosperity, happiness and maturing of your ultimate life goals and journey in tending to what is already further along in development than in something new.

Grandmother Dragonfly offers you vision that is wide and unlimited by preconceptions.

You may need to look differently at what you have nurtured and how to tap into what it has become to be able to share it with others and allow its sustaining grace to nourish human life in its own way. You will help people in many and varied ways. It is all a part of your natural development and you can trust in it.

There is no need for you to ever be impatient or doubting of this.

SHE TAMES BY LAYING DOWN THE STAFF AND ROPE

My ways prevail. I subjugate the lower to the higher without any force.

Through my ways, correct alignment to the higher divine order is established.

My authority is supreme, yet I’ve no need to enforce it. Devotion to me is absolute, yet I bestow freedom. I show you now , the whispering way to tame great force. I initiate you into the way of strength without coercion, the way of attraction without demand.

Follow me and learn the art of feminine power; that fear shall always succumb to love.

There is something that you want to attain. A situation exists that you would like to change.

It may be something in your way of thinking or being, or a habit of your body or mind. It may be a pattern within your emotional world, or an actual physical situation or obstacle you wish to change.

Perhaps you want it transformed completely, or perhaps you simply want some of the rough edges smoothed.

Yet there is another way, a gentler and more peaceful way, that will evoke little resistance within you and help you attract what you want rather than to have to carve it out of your own blood, sweat and tears. This is the taming power, the magnetic lure of attraction that can tame even beyond the capacity of will.

The way of gentleness takes great strength of will. But it is will that redirects the pushing, striving mind rather than the action of willpower that seeks to mould the physical world or control the people in your life, to have them act as you wish.

It is a way that attracts the devotion of others, and draws to you the aid and support you need, yet you are not required to grasp for such generosity.

You must be willing to become empty in order to be filled.

You must be willing to accept the very thing you wish to be transformed. You must be willing to become flexible in order to stay true on the path. You must be willing to become childlike in order to be wise. It is in embracing what is that empowers you to transform it.

You can, of course, choose the other way; to pursue, push and direct. However, you will find it an uphill battle all the way and it will only get you so far. This way holds more finesse, attains a greater result and will lead you further along your spiritual path as you learn that the opposites are only an appearance of reality, not reality itself.

You can then manifest through invitation what is offered from the heart space. There is no control here; and yet, you will seem to command an army whilst ever your heart is pure and remains true to peace.

What you want is possible. Striving will create friction where surrender and invitation through love will create affinity with the goal.

Woosah! Those were glorious messages for the week! So gorgeous one, sending you big love, squeezes, warm cups of tea and a soothed soul. May your heart be full and your spirit light! Try out the candle ritual and remember – You are loved, you are worthy and you are amazing!

And if you want to keep up with when The Numinous Collective is available, add yourself, we would love to journey with you!

Happy Merry, Marvellous, Magickal, Mysterious, Majestic, Manifesting Monday!

Holy Hannah, it feels like a hot minute since we last communicated and it has been and here we are in September! And lo and behold the energy of September is Recapitulation – Release!

I will give you a heads up, this is a rather long post – so if that doesn’t interest you – skip to the cards.

So as you all know, I took the month of August to step back, work on some amazing creative projects, design two new courses, spend time with my British family who were bringing my sister’s ashes over so we could scatter them together and I kept saying out loud “And feel all the feels!”

Little did I realise what that would mean and how much I would make the Goddess laugh by telling her my carefully manicured plans.

Nor, how she would show me exactly the depths she wanted me to excavate and release, as she created the perfect storm that I couldn’t run from! Gulp!

The last weekend of July is what I call my Fi (sister) weekend, as on the 28th was her birthday and on the 31st was when she took her last breath. So it’s a lovely, but vulnerable place to dance in, to feel, to remember, to laugh and to cry.

During that weekend two incredibly unpleasant things happened, one with the two remaining family of origin members and one with a close friend. Okay, I can suck those up (as I have big shoulders), but unbeknownst to me it started creating the perfect storm in my body and my mind.

August 1st I sat down with all my coloured pens and pencils and mapped out my whole month. The courses, the creations, the book outline, the writing, the family time and the ceremony – you name it, as I like to be organised and have a plan (little did I know the Goddess was laughing her fucking soxs off whilst she watched!)

The next day with my glorious mapped out calendar next to me, I woke up in a full state of panic! No rhyme, no reason, but pure panic. I don’t mean panic attack, as an attack subsides, I mean a pure state of unadulterated panic that wouldn’t let up, wouldn’t calm down and my heart rate was about 160 bpm, and in the process threw my heart out of rhythm. In other words it threw my heart into Atrial fibrillation (which I didn’t know at the time).

This went on for 9 days and brought me to my knees, literally and figuratively.

I became like a T Rex – don’t look at me, don’t touch me, don’t talk to me and everything was too loud, too bright and too sharp.

I was running from the panic and watching my life become smaller and smaller as all the things I loved to do – being out in nature, walking the doggos, sitting and writing were impossible. I thought I was losing my frigging mind, but boy oh boy, I was feeling all the feels!

As someone who has worked in the therapy field and spiritual field for years, I had an incredible tool box and I was using every single tool I could think of. Vagus nerve work, tapping, supplements, prayer, meditation, you name it I tried it. Nothing. Nadda.

I felt so incredibly vulnerable, confused, scared and all the fucking feels!

It was only when I stopped and turned around and faced the panic and invited in the wisdom and the lessons, which meant peeling the onion back down to the core and looking at my family of origin. Then writing for 5 hours straight and pouring it all out, crying non stop with snot bubbles everywhere and seeing the old, old, old trauma that had been activated that things started to calm somewhat and by the next day my heart had gone back into rhythm.

But yet there were more ECG’s, blood work (none of which I am a fan of) and doctors telling me “how do you know it’s gone back into rhythm?” Mmmm, because I am in this fucking body!

I am a firm believer in “our issues are in our tissues”, and we hold things we don’t remember or have chosen to suppress until the body says – no, we need to release this piece. And then there’s no choice.

I’m also a firm believer that we hold old, old traumas deep inside and when the perfect storm is created they come out with a vengeance as they need to be acknowledged, seen, listened to and loved.

You may disagree with this, and that’s okay.

Why am I sharing this with you?

I believe we all experience things that bring us to our knees and facing them, talking about them is important. Realising we aren’t alone is vital in this world. Asking for help is important and sharing is important, it builds relationships, connections and community with depth, vulnerability and strength.

So many lessons have come out of August, with this experience, the ceremony for my sister’s ashes, having all my plans side railed. But you know what – they are all deep, rich, glorious lessons that have me in change mode! Changing my work, how I work, my life, relationships and disconnecting from my family of origin.

Plus with the energy of September being Recapitulation – Release, it’s the perfect time!

So let’s Lena share what that phrase actually means, shall we?

“Recapitulation is a recapture, remembrance, and retelling of experiences, choices, actions and relationships from the past in order to digest, neutralise and file them away without any residual emotional charge. The release is the act of letting go of any attachment to the emotional content of the past event or memory.

This includes nostalgic reminiscences of “good times” as well as reminders of traumatic or uncomfortable experiences we would rather forget. What is being recapitulated usually holds some degree of judgement or comparison, with the attachment to how we have defined it holding the memory hostage until it is released with a good deep sigh into neutral territory.

Why is this coming up now? We are in major preparation (and have been for a while) for a time marked by a crisis that could initiate a turning point where choices and decisions have a long lasting and powerful influence over our spiritual and emotional evolution. Part of this preparation is to go inward to reflect on where we have been and where we wish to go. This process is being supported by material from the past flowing through our conscious and unconscious fields much like snippets from a film, a frame here and a frame there. In order to move forward we need to deal with the past.”

We have the Virgo New Moon arriving on September 14th (Thursday) and we also have 6 planets in retrograde. So if you have been feeling a tad stuck in the mud or that certain situations are at a standstill, don’t fret!

This New Moon prepares us for Change!

This Virgo New Moon is the last before the Equinox and before Eclipse Season begins, which means it sets the foundation for the changes that are destined to come. While we will still very much feel the stagnation from all the retrograde activity, this New Moon acts as a turning point, lighting a path to help release us from the old.

Virgo is a grounded earth sign that is represented by the Virgin Goddess, which is a symbol of wholeness, inner divinity, and sovereignty.

The Virgin Goddess that rules Virgo is not attached to anyone, in charge of her own life, and fully connected to the divine power that lives within her.

We can use the energies of the Virgin Goddess to guide us through this New Moon time, and to remind ourselves that everything we need is within. No matter what happens, the Virgin Goddess knows she will be ok. She knows that she will find the strength, wisdom, and knowledge to move through whatever comes her way.

So with all that being said, let’s carry on with the reading shall we?

Take a glorious deep breath out, let all the stale old air just leave your body and at the end of your exhale hold for the count of 3. Now take a deep breath in and as you fill yourself with this glorious prana energy, invite in the energy of change and release. Let it swirl through your cells and into your heart space.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug or entice you.

Did you remember to pick?

Come have a look.

ACCOUNTABILITY

When we take responsibility for our choices, we gain integrity and the right relationship with ourselves. Optimally, our decisions are conscious ones made with consideration for the likely consequences for all involved. However, this is not always the case.

In life, we learn as we go. As we become aware of a more beneficial way to handle ourselves, others and life, we do so accordingly. We maximise our chances of this when we remain open to addressing any damage or ill feelings that arise toward ourselves and others.

The refusal to acknowledge our flaws and imperfections that show up in moments of poor discernment and behaviour thwarts our growth and inner harmony.

Life gets easier and infinitely more beautiful and warm, the second we accept that we – like everyone else – are humanly imperfect and that this is perfectly acceptable.

The things we wish we had not done or had approached differently are gifts.

They are necessary for learning how to do things differently going forward. They are also what make us increasingly compassionate and understanding of others and their actions. We are not our mistake but what we do with them. All of our past choices can be used to help us grow into the truth of ourselves.

They help us identify what is aligned with our Spirit Self in the less obvious places.

Accountability is an act of self-love, compassion, and acceptance that benefits all. However, the most important person to be accountable to is yourself. It can be helpful to develop the habit of checking in with yourself each day by asking: What am I doing and why? Is this aligned with my values and Spirit Self? If so, proceed. If not, ask yourself: Is there another way, a way that feels good and true for me to continue, or does this behaviour, thinking, situation, or person need to go? Do I need the perspective of someone who knows better and is more experienced in this area?

When you are accountable, you stand empowered, confident, and with integrity.

BROKEN DREAMS

We break our dreams when we cease to believe in them and ourselves.

Our attitude toward disappointment, perceived failures, and rejection has the power to derail our confidence. When a prolonged state of defeat and doubt ensues, we not only give up on our dreams and ourselves but also on what makes us feel alive.

It can be hard, but we need to trust that the way to realise our dreams is by persisting and working with the disappointments as well as any perceived failures or rejections. Perceived setbacks are often opportunities to learn to think differently, to develop further, and to explore new ways of realising our vision.

When we interpret, and therefore turn, challenges into actual setbacks, it can feel like the world has rejected us. In response to this feeling, we give up too soon.

The world does not reject us. It cannot. Of course, it may feel like it does, but what is more likely to have transpired is that certain individuals, organisations, and opportunities have said no to us for one thing at one point in time.

The world is full of many more individuals, organisations and opportunities if we continue to say yes to ourselves.

To abandon your dreams is to abandon yourself. There is no need for this. Explore ways of doing what you love differently. Being flexible with the way that you go about realising your vision will save you from much unnecessary heartache, regret, lost time, and despair.

Do what makes you feel alive in your life.

Never lose sight of what lights you up and makes your Spirit Self sing. No matter what.

CIRCLES

Our thoughts, emotions, behaviours and relationship patterns are potentially detrimentally circular when they remain unconscious.

Without acknowledging that we do not know what we are doing or how to get different results, it seems as though the same disappointments, ruts, and detours keep happening to us. This is because we do not realise our subconscious part in these unwanted reoccurrences. Nor that we have the power to exit the unmerry-go-round.

If we do nothing different, nothing different happens. We will only continue to re-enact our default setting automatically. A life lived in circles inevitably limits what is possible for us.

It can also be particularly harmful when toxic relationships, addiction, or financial dependence is involved. Awareness of how we perpetuate more of the same is necessary before we can consciously create an upward and outward spiral of life for ourselves.

Circles that spiral downward are the effects of unconscious repetition and confusion. In this sense, we are the ones who prohibit us from venturing forth upon new ground. To acknowledge that we do not know what to do about something, we begin to see with increasing clarity, logic, desires and emotions what is confusing and therefore prohibiting us.

Once we can see things for what they are, we can recognise what we can do about them.

There is always more than one way out of any circle. You are ready to be free and go forth.

Focus your attention on who you are without the loops, fears, distractions, and preoccupations.

In other words, focus on who you would be and what you would do without the problems, drama, impossible lifestyle, or comfort zone you may be circling.

You are your white horse, ever equipped to venture forward.

Wowzer! Those are some deliciously potent messages for this month and this New Moon.

Sending you big hugs and squeezes and yes, there will be an Equinox guide coming out later this week. Be kind to yourself, be true to yourself, be honest with yourself.

Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Magnificent, Musical, Mysterious Monday!Well here we are in June and yesterday we had the glorious Strawberry Moon!

I don’t know about you, but it’s been a full week!

My most amazing daughter Morgen and her huge, gloriously fat 8 month old baby called Callum came to visit for the week and to help celebrate the mothership’s 95th birthday. The last time Morgen came to visit, which was in January, my housemate gave us all the plague so we spent the visit in our beds!

This time however, with the lovely weather, I juggled my work schedule and took time to play and boy did we ever. We explored a Medieval Festival, went on multiple glorious hikes, took Callum to the petting zoo (which was more for us than him, lol). Made jewellery together, went to all the Farmer’s markets, had a picnic in a daisy meadow and much more!

And then I managed to tweak my lower back on Thursday as I parkoured into the back of the car in a frenzy of cleaning, prior to picking up the mothership and taking her around the gardens of Government House and to a cute tea room!

By Friday everything came to a grinding slow down (totally pisses me off when that happens). I was frigging, hobbling and bitchy as all get out which got my mind spinning to the fact that I have been “chosen” for jury selection on Thursday and if picked I can look forward to a 7 day criminal trial!

I’m sorry, I have no desire, zip, zero, zilch to sit on a jury. None whatsoever!

When I have mentioned that to a couple of people, I am very politely reminded that it is my Civic Duty, that I should give back to my community. Mmmmmmmm. Well that got right up my nose.

I have coached football (soccer) for 25 years, purely as a volunteer. I have coached rugby, I volunteer for Hospice, Women In Need homes, Animal Shelters, and Compost Education centres.

I vote, I obey most laws but I don’t believe we have a Justice system, I believe we have a legal system and I have no desire to partake of it to be honest.

Let alone the fact that I can’t sit still for a whole day, or that my 23 year old son, Rowan, has his convocation for completing his degree with honours through a pandemic (and I am not going to miss that), or a 3 month old puppy that needs to be let out every hour and a half. And the list goes on.

So no, I have no desire to be selected for jury duty!

Thus, I did what any normal person would do and hung up my macrame swing that I made the other year and talked to the Full Moon as she beamed through the branches of the Garry Oaks above me. I took some time to ask myself some questions that really tie into this last Full Moon of Spring, let the breeze waft and the scent of the flowers dance around me.

It was quite delicious!

I also spent time planning out a Summer Solstice gathering and feeling into the ideas for a guide for Summer Solstice – so we will have to see how that comes through.

So let me ask, how are you feeling delicious lovely?

With June we have an energy shift from the TENSION of May to INTUITIVE CHOICES (I love this).

So let’s get Lena to explain it all shall we?

The theme for June is: “Intuitive Choices”“Emotional clarity becomes more available this month as we assimilate the lessons of the recent eclipses and align ourselves with the next intuitive step.

The theme of Intuitive Choices has everything to do with stepping into the power of trusting the heart instead of the head and allowing for our curiosity and what is choosing us to be the compass instead of a plan based on a rationalised set of responsibilities and expectations.

There is an opportunity to settle into right timing and the magic of synchronicity and spontaneous events that feel emotionally aligned. In this energetically softer month we can begin to really feel what wants to support us and where we may be struggling down the wrong path.

Since the emotional centre is a much faster processor than the intellectual centre, we will feel into people and situations and either move away from or towards them before the mind has a chance to process the information. Trusting the intelligence of the heart is an important step if we are to reset ourselves on the path that is choosing us. You may not “know” intellectually why you are drawn to certain people, places or experiences, but if you trust that you do “know” intuitively, that is what is important. You may not be able to explain to someone why you are making a particular choice, but if you are clear about it, that is all that matters.”

I love how the emotional centre is acknowledged this month, as this is one of the things I teach in my Mastery and Manifestation course.

Many people don’t understand that what we allow, either from outside or from ourselves, into our bio morphogenic bubble impacts every cell in our body and what we are able to create.

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading.

When I asked who wanted to come and guide this week I laughed as it was The Signs of the Times.

You are being invited into a conversation with the Divine and your Higher Self that will feed your soul and reveal the very answers you are seeking. Let go of doubt and follow the signs.

Awesome!

Okay dear one, take a moment. Really breathe into the place of “what is the sign I need right now”. Let your mind chatter slow and entertain itself in a corner and ask that question again.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

LABYRINTH

Journey

You are on your own path, and the labyrinth represents the simple fact that this journey will take you in many different directions. Unlike in a maze, in a labyrinth there are no dead ends or wrong ways.

You will not always understand the route you are on, but you can either choose to be confused and scared, or see it as an opportunity to learn lessons and discover strengths.

This sign encourages you to embrace where you are on your journey and resist comparing yourself to anyone else. Listen to your intuition and use that as guidance to face any challenges. Keep moving forward.

The gift of the journey is not the destination itself; it is the experiences and lessons learned along the way that have shaped you into a person who is prepared to reach that destination.

Like stumbling upon a labyrinth in a park or seeing one incorporated in a log, this sign is an invitation to embrace the unpredictability of your own spiritual journey and the growth that comes along with it.

Embrace self-discovery!

STARS

Divine Guidance

Looking up at the stars at night can be a magical and almost spiritual experience. They are a reminder that we are all here on a rock, floating in the middle of a mysterious universe.

If you are seeking direction or guidance, you will receive answers and clarity soon.

The human experience is linked to the stars: for centuries, navigators have used them to learn where they are on Earth, astronomers have used them to learn where we are in the Universe, and astrologers have used them to help us find our place in both.

Right now, you may be unclear on different areas of your life or wondering why certain things are happening.

Spirit is asking you to connect by setting intentions, asking for Divine Guidance, and looking up for answers.

Allow the Universe to work its magic by asking from the heart and being open to the way the answers come to you. You will be pointed in the right direction.

The stars will tell you where you are. Have faith in yourself!

ANCHOR

Stability

Stability and security are essential in your life at this time. You are feeling grounded, calm, and comfortable, which is reflected in your finances, home life, work, and personal relationships.

There is tremendous mental ease that comes with knowing those areas of your life are solid. If you have been working to achieve a goal, the rewards will come in the form of stability.

This sign can also represent feeling safe and protected from outside elements, which can include people, places, or things – even if the waves roll in and shake things up, you are confident in your position and your strength.

The tricky thing about anchors is that as much as they provide a stable foundation, they can also create a dynamic of complacency. You can end up stuck, tethered to what is familiar and safe, and miss opportunities to take risks and grow.

Continue to check in with yourself to ensure your desire for stability doesn’t end up holding you back.

Don’t hold yourself back by clinging to the electric fence of your comfort zone!

I don’t know about you, but I love the guides that chose to come out for this week. Have a stupendous week dear one, remember to come from your emotional centre when making choices and trust your intuition. Huge hugs and warm sunbeams.

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Marvelous, Majestic Memorial Monday.

(To all my US friends), and happy Spring Bank holiday to all my lovely UK friends!

Wow, May seems to have just flown by! It just seems a hot minute ago that we were talking about the energy of this month being TENSION and pffft, the month is almost done.

Although, I will say I am reveling in the warm weather, the garden growth and all the amazing smelly flowers that come out and dance for us in this time of late Spring.

This weekend we celebrated the mother-ship’s 95th birthday, with a feast, family, friends, frivolities and fun. It was so interesting to see all the different personalities meld and the cool conversations that unfolded.

During that event, I had a great conversation with one of my boys about the book “Unfuck Yourself” (he had just discovered it recently.)

He brought up the key phrase that can really Unfuck you……… Ready?

Super simple, but super powerful when faced with confusion, stagnation and all the rest of that dross.

The phrase is “AM I WILLING?”

Am I willing to do the work to make a change? Am I willing to get off the sofa and go to the gym to lose weight? Am I willing to release those relationships that drain me?

AM I FUCKING WILLING TO MAKE CHANGE?

Then interestingly enough the author goes on to say, if you can’t come up with anything to put on your AM I WILLING list. Turn it around and ask yourself the same question in a different way “WHAT AM I NOT WILLING TO DO OR PUT UP WITH?”

For example, I am not willing to put up with this abusive relationship. I am not willing to continually struggle. I am not willing to be continually dismissed. I am not willing to feel unhealthy………..

It’s quite fascinating to play with, write down and it most certainly unravels those threads that can make you feel like you are tied up in a knot.

Dare you to try it!

This Saturday (June 3rd) we welcome in the Strawberry Full Moon. This is the first Full Moon since our lovely Eclipse Season and the heralding of Summer and Summer Solstice.

The Strawberry Moon of June is named for the wild and ripe strawberries that reach their peak in June. It’s believed that picking strawberries beneath the light of the moon honors the crops and ensures a bountiful yield.

Strawberries are considered a food of love, representative of the goddess Freya, and they symbolize love and luck. June’s Strawberry Moon meaning embodies the magic and fullness of life.

This is the best moment to make difficult decisions or to face responsibilities you’ve been avoiding. Start fresh and dive deep into personal growth! Remember to pace yourself, don’t burn yourself out in your excitement and enthusiasm. Evaluate your goals and intentions to make sure they are realistic and achievable.

New life, sunlight, magic, joy, and strength are everywhere. The earth and the universe are surging with enthusiasm! Your intuition is at a peak! So keep an open mind to all of life’s adventures and twists.

A delicious thing to do under this Full Moon is to go sit outside beneath the moon, or someplace quiet where you will not be disturbed. Reflect on 3 things you are grateful for right now.

Feel free to say the following chant or repeat it in your mind:

Tonight I sit beneath this Strawberry Moon feeling grateful for (say the 3 things you chose above). I’m grateful for the Moon above and the Earth below me. As the season turns I wish strength, abundance, hope, and love for myself and those I care for.

Feel the white and glowing energy of the Strawberry Moon fill you up. Then just spend the next 5-10 minutes meditating quietly.

Okay, enough chuntering – let’s crack on with the reading.

We have glorious new guides this week! They are your Gateway guides, they are your keys to unlocking a mystic portal into the inner knowing and ancient wisdom within you. They can open a wondrous realm where you can explore your life and discover what destiny has in store for you.

Are you ready?

Take a deep breath honey, just drop into this moment and ask yourself what would it look like to be willing and to start fresh. Allow that energy to fill your being and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

RISING ABOVE

Let go of the ordinary and step into the extraordinary. You have potential that you haven’t even begun to tap into. This is the time to reach higher than ever before, so do not fall down before doubt.

Remember your true calling.

Just as the lotus rises up out of the mud into the light, so you are rising up to even greater heights. Sometimes this occurs naturally, and sometimes it’s an act of will.

This is the time to rise above any situation that’s not empowering. Even if there are some people you might leave behind, let your light shine for all to see.

Rise up and step into your potential!

ACCEPTING WHAT IS

Accept your life in all its configurations. Know that every moment, situation, and event has profound value….even if it doesn’t seem like it.

Accept your inner majesty and be present.

You are magnificent and wondrous beyond measure. Embrace all those parts of yourself!

It is an act of both power and faith to love, honour, and accept what is. At times it can be challenging to truly accept what’s occurring in your life.

When you do so, however, you affirm that there’s a plan for your life and that everything is working for your highest good.

Accepting “what is” doesn’t mean that you can’t work to change it, because you can. It does mean that there is gentle, yet profound, awareness that every experience can support your highest good and spiritual evolution.

If there is something you just can’t accept, start by gently acknowledging the fact that you can’t accept it, don’t push it into the closet and hide it away.

As you increase your own acceptance in life, this will help others be at peace in their own lives.

SAVOURING PLEASURE

Fill your life with people, experiences, and places that bring you delight and joy.

Live deliciously!

Release the need to be practical in all situations. Surround yourself with beauty and sumptuous pleasures.

You’re not meant to solely work hard and be dutiful and diligent. Life should be lived abundantly and fully. Give yourself permission to be happy and experience profound gratification and gratitude.

Embrace pleasure whenever you can.

Create personal environments that fill you with deep satisfaction. Cherish your friendships. Love often and deeply. Allow your senses to be satisfied.

See, hear, taste, touch, and feel the beauty within and around you.

Drink well, eat well, and dance into the early morning hours.

Wow! Perfect guides for this Strawberry Moon, as it’s all about embracing life, getting clear and reveling in who you are! Wishing you a stupendous week of love, laughter and all sorts of possibilities. Take some time under the Moon. Big hugs and squeezes.

Happy Magickal, Musing, Merry, Manifesting, Magnetic May Monday!How are you most delicious lovely? How are you juggling the delightful energies of May?

So many of you, and various friends, have shared that it feels very much like you are in a blender and being spun and scrambled. I loved my friend Lisa’s description – “It feels like someone has taken a chopstick to my brain and stirred it all up.”

I totally get it, what with being in the midst of an intense Eclipse Portal, with a side of Mercury retro – no shit! But the bonus news is Mercury went direct yesterday! Whoot!

But to top off the delicious energies, the weather is doing wonky things and the heat has cranked up here.

It’s Hawt, Hawt, Hawt.

We have an unprecedented heat wave in effect which is meant to break records all over the place – blaugh!

Now, I don’t know about you but the heat makes me wilt, and rather crotchety and all in all, I’m not a supreme fan – Spring and Fall are my favourite seasons.

Yes, I do like a warmish summer day, and a cute sundress (with pockets), but not when it is so hot that it’s impossible to hang out in the sun. Grumble, grumble.

However, my garden loves it and things are popping up like mad, veggies, wildflowers, herbs, it makes me super happy.

I had plans with the boys on Mother’s Day to go play mini golf in the afternoon, but when I saw the temperature it was a quick change of plans.

They very kindly agreed to get up at 6am so we could go beachcombing, driftwood gathering (for faery homes) and shell finding.

It was divine. Grounding, calm, fun and relaxed and oh so quiet as most humans were still in bed (thanks guys for getting up so early).

I love exploring all the various landscapes that surround where I live. The various beaches that are all different, the forests, the garry oak ecosystems, the meadows, the mountains. You name it!

I find it soul soothing and oh so wonderfully rejuvenating and nourishing.

With an Aries Moon in my chart my favourite self care and nourishment is to be outdoors in Nature and have a fabulous picnic somewhere after a glorious exploration.

I’m not a “Hang out in a bubble bath and read a book” kinda gal.

This week, on Friday the 19th we welcome the New Moon in Taurus and with that comes delicious grounding energy.

Take a moment and think about the image of Taurus.

It’s a great big bull/ox with a huge solid body mass and all four feet connected to the earth.

Grounding at its finest, or maybe I should say – most solid!“Take a deep breath. Inhale through your nose and exhale out of your mouth, letting out a sigh. Almost like a sigh of relief. Feel the weight releasing from your chest and shoulders. Perhaps unclench your jaw or stretch your arms out. Settle into your being and soak in the wisdom the Taurus New Moon brings…

The Taurus New Moon on May 19, 2023, holds a grounding vibration, allowing us to rebalance our being and reconnect to a state of ease. We have been through much since the last lunar cycle and now we are given a moment to pause.

While this pause will give us a chance to centre ourselves, there is also some high-powered energy flowing through at the time of this New Moon, activating our Solar Plexus Chakra and inviting us to reconnect with our power.”

Taurus is a sign associated with stability and security, and that is exactly what is on offer under this New Moon. How can you create more security in your life? What steps can you take to feel more stable and secure in yourself?

Issues that crop up around the time of this New Moon may very well be linked to subconscious feelings of insecurity or a lack of self-worth. Pay attention to anything uncomfortable that arises at this time, and see if your insecurities may be playing a role.

So to give you some food for thought I have some lovely journal prompts for you and a wee bit of Taurus Magic to soothe your body.

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

When I asked the cards who wanted to come and share, these glorious guides were front and centre!

So in case you have never met them, let me introduce you – and if you have met them before, let me reintroduce you (as not to do so is rude!). “You have a sacred destiny; we all do. There is a powerful and profound reason that you are here on the planet. However, sometimes it may be difficult to understand what that reason is and perceive what is required on your journey into the future. It may be a challenge to know what the next step in life should be. This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul. In ancient traditions, shamans, medicine women, witches, visionaries, and prophets all accessed hallowed knowledge by observing their natural environment. These wise beings stepped through mystic gateways into inner realms to bring back meaning to the seemingly random event of life. “

Perfect!

I invite you to just pause, to be still, to allow the swirling energies or your mind chatter to gently slow down as your breath leads the way. Then invite into your mind’s eye, the image of the bull. Solid, grounded, earthed, connected. Then ask your wise inner self – what do you need to know to feel that kind of connection?

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

STILLNESS

Frozen Tundra

The tundra is a stark and severe landscape found in both the southern and northern hemispheres. It is usually bereft of most plant and animal life, and can only support very low-growing plants such as mosses and lichen.

The soil is frozen year-round, so it is impossible for trees to grow in that barren landscape. In the winter, the landscape is very cold and dark, and wild winds surge across the desolation.

Even in the summer, the land remains frozen, although the surface can be soggy and covered with lakes, marshes, ponds, and bogs that become havens for millions of migrating

So what is the message in this landscape?

Take a step back from a project, situation, or relationship, even if for just a few moments.

Mend bridges. Slow down. Breathe. Be Still. Go within. Listen to your inner voice.

Take time to connect with your spirit guides, ancestors, and spiritual guardians. Listen to your higher self.

Timing is everything.

This is not a good time to start a new cycle. Wait. Incubate. Fix things that need fixing. Heal things that need healing, and think things through.

Most importantly Forgive yourself and others (forgiveness truly given is a powerful tool).

If things seem barren, or even bleak, or the energy is flat, hold on.

Just as the migrating birds find new life in the tundra marshes in the summer, you too will expand once again during the coming thaw in your life.

HEALING CHAOS

Spiralling Tornado

Energy in our Universe spirals. Water spirals in the wake of the fish that swims through the stream. Air spirals in the wake of a bird in flight. The moon spirals around the earth, which spirals around the sun, which spirals around the galaxy.

Even our DNA is a spiral. It is the healing principle of life.

It’s not an accident that the ancient symbol for healing is the caduceus: two spiralling serpents.

It is the sacred spiral.

Most people assume that there is nothing good that comes from tornados, but every part of nature has value.

For example, although some birds lose their habitat from a tornado, birds such as the prairie warbler, whippoorwill, woodpecker, grouse, and woodcock, as well as forest salamanders, all benefit from the new landscape created by tornadoes.

Downed trees provide habitat for black bears and white tailed deer and create dens for many kinds of animals.

Tornadoes churn up the soil in ways that rejuvenate the earth.

So what is this landscape sharing with you?

When you pick Healing Chaos you are acknowledging potential chaos (or the need for chaos) as an activator for profound healing.

If your life seems chaotic, know that it has an underlying energy of healing. You are being healed on all levels. You are a healer.

However, if your life is calm to the point of being stagnant, it might be time to create a bit of chaos in your life. It will really activate healing, shift and glorious new energy.

Do the unexpected. Mix life up a bit.

EMBRACING

Floodplains

A floodplain is a naturally occurring phenomenon in which the land adjacent to a river floods out to far banks of the surrounding land during times of high water.

Land that is normally dry may be underwater for a period of time.

When this occurs, silt, sand, and nutrients are deposited. For this reason, floodplains are often areas of great fertility as well as rich ecosystems. They are excellent areas for lush, abundant crops.

It is a natural occurrence that allows life in all areas to thrive.

So what do you believe this landscape is saying to you?

Sometimes life overflows with emotions, which can feel uncomfortable. (As water is very much associated with emotions). However, the ensuing result of this discomfort can be of great value, perhaps arising from an unseen or unknown source.

Do you feel your emotions are overflowing, or not flowing at all?

Cherish the overflow of emotions, and embrace the times that seem murky, for your inner floodplains are being replenished, and as a result, there will be massive spiritual and physical expansion.

Embrace all your emotions; don’t judge them. After all, when we look at the word e-motion, it is energy in motion and needs to flow.

When you embrace all your emotions; greater prosperity and fertility can flow into your life.

If your emotions have been blocked, now is the time to explore them, feel into them, and experience them so they can move and flow like the water.

Woosah! Wow, those are amazing messages for getting grounded, don’t you agree? Wishing you a stupendous week, take time to ground, root and get outside! There won’t be a reading next week (I don’t believe lol) as it is a long weekend here and I plan on playing and getting outdoors. Massive hugs and squeezes and be kind with yourself.

The Moon transits through Taurus when the lunar sky path crosses the second sector of the Zodiac, which is located in the constellation of Taurus.

When the Moon is in Taurus it’s a good time to escape distractions and sink deeper into the things that ground you.

It brings a sense of peace and calmness and a desire for security and stability.

Now is the time for enjoying the tranquility and comfort of home, good food, and intentional connections with loved ones. It is also a great time to make any aesthetic changes, work in the garden and get back to nature.

Taurus is motivated by a desire for practical, useful results.

Moon journaling each month during the new and full moon helps connect you with these lunar energies. Use these Taurus moon phase journal prompts to help you during these times of transition.

New Moon in TaurusThe New Moon in Taurus only occurs when the Sun sign is also in Taurus, during the end of April into the beginning of May. Spring is in full bloom and love is in the air.

Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and is focused on comfort, security, harmony, and beauty. Happening close to the festival of Beltane, fertility, and productivity are two of the themes of Taurus. The desire for new growth is strong and the Taurus New Moon helps us get rooted even deeper with our intentions set last month during the Aries New Moon.

The earthy energy of Taurus reminds us to strengthen our practice of grounding and centering. Celebrate spring and the Taurus New Moon by getting connected with the earth.

Be present within your body and really notice what you are feeling, smelling, hearing. This is a good time to ask yourself:

What helps me feel grounded and centered?
What do I need to feel more stable and secure?
What am I willing to face and resolve so I can move forward?
What boundaries do I need to set in order to bloom more fully?

Taurus MagicTaurus is a Fixed Earth sign that supports sensible emotions and renewals. Focus your intentions on money matters, material acquisitions, real estate, and deep love.

This is a good time to practice self-love and nourish your physical body.

Healing rituals for areas of the throat, neck, and ears are also done at this time.

Wellness Mantras:

I will love myself fully so that I may fully love others.
I am on a path of natural wellness and health.
I choose to release what no longer supports or nourishes me.

Enjoy!

Happy Magickal, Merry, Misty, Mischievous, Magnetic, Manifesting May Monday!How are you delicious lovely? How was your eclipse experience?

I have heard from quite a few of you that it was rather intense and “thank goodness the frigging thing is done with!”

Hate to be the Debbie Downer here but eclipse energy goes on for a few months, so if you notice endings, things rapidly changing, remember to breathe, trust and flow, yes?

Often we desperately cling to things by our fingernails because they are “known”, they are part of our tight, wee little comfort zone, they feel safe, even if they aren’t. After all, who wants to bump up against the electric fence of their comfort zone and make a change?

That can be scary!

There are lions and tigers and bears oh my!

Let alone the mind chatter of “What will people think? I can’t. I’m too old, too young, too short, too tall”…………… and the list goes on and on.

But what if you dropped into a place of Trust, Faith and pushed that electric fence wider and played with the mantra;

“Let everything that needs to go, go. Let everything that needs to come, come.”You will be amazed at the results (and the lack of anxiety and worry).

On top of the eclipse energy that is wafting in the breeze we have the energy of May and I will let Lena share her wisdom and explain it to you.

The theme for May is: “TENSION”.“Tension this month is the condition of pressure or a relentless force causing anxiety, strain, crisis, release, and change. We are stretched tight, some of us more than others, as we attempt to hold on to the past and control the future. The emotional center of the year is highlighted as we clear out old stagnation and get things flowing in a more positive direction. Fear of change and fear of the unknown is what keeps us grasping tightly to our defences, old habits and outdated beliefs.

It is hard to relax in a state of tension. Sleep cycles can be disturbed and we may be hypervigilant about what may or may not be just around the corner. Anxiety unconnected to any real situation may be a constant companion to some that are prone to it. There is physical tension in the body, pointing to necessary adjustments in self-care; emotional tension, often erupting in drama as old repressed feelings find their way up and out; and mental tension, especially related to the need to know and the fear of the unknown.

All of this may sound extremely challenging, however there can be a very positive outcome to the month but it requires certain disciplines and the willingness to deal with feelings and emotions without blame or judgement.“

Mmmm, do you see how this folds in like a victoria sponge cake into the post-eclipse energy and the mantra?

On Sunday in North America we celebrate Mother’s Day and for me personally, it’s irrelevant if you have birthed children or not. As we have all at some point in time nurtured, mentored, supported a child – whether they were ours or not.

It reminded me of years ago when I was in a lovely Kundalini yoga class and my most amazing mentor invited us to bring in our Mother, to feel that energy of safety, unconditional love and peace.

Which in turn created a totally different experience!

So remember:-

“Let everything that needs to go, go. Let everything that needs to come, come. “On that note, let’s crack on with the reading.

Okay, when I went to my delicious guides and asked who wanted to come and play.

These lovely guides came in loud and proud! If they are new to you, please let me introduce you.

Herbalism is the medicine of belonging, a gateway through which we keep alive a very sacred aspect to our source. “

With all that being shared, let’s drop in shall we? Take a delicious breath and invite in the energy of endings, as when there is an ending there is a new beginning. What needs to just gently drop away (no drama), so that something new can grow?

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a wee peak, shall we?

REISHI

Retreat

Called lingzhi in Chinese, Reishi represents immortality and is considered the “herb of spiritual potency,” meaning success, well-being, divine power, and longevity.

Reishi is ruled by Jupiter, the “guru of planets,” the one that dictates how we derive wisdom and access to the mysteries of life.

Reishi is inviting you to Pause. It’s time for renewal.

Like Bear, hibernate or rest before you take on the next project or challenge.

Many Native American tribes have called this space of inner contemplation the Dream Lodge, a place to witness death and see beyond the confines of physical reality by visiting the dreamtime.

Create the space to be in silence and calm the internal chatter. Take time for reflection and nurturing yourself (and we all have that time).
