Samhain, a Time to Dance in the Liminal and Talk With Your Ancestors.

· ·

Happy Mischievous, Mysterious, Melodious, Magnificent, Manifesting, Magnetic, Moony, Marvellous Monday!

How has the Eclipse energy been treating you?  

We had the Taurus Blood Moon eclipse on Saturday and so many people were reaching out saying “this is tough, WTF!”

Okay, let me give you some Coles Notes on this Eclipse as it ties in with Samhain (which is tomorrow!)  Yes, this was a Taurus Full Moon Eclipse, but it’s on the axis of Taurus and Scorpio.

Scorpio is stagnation energy, shadow work and this whole eclipse is inviting you to purge, purify, detox and slow the fuck down.  Pay attention to what’s being revealed or you will miss the magic.  

Shadow work is where the gifts are and most of us spend 60% of our energy keeping the trapdoor closed on any “shadow work” as we perceive it as negative.  It’s not! 

This is the time of Shadow work, Ancestral Work, Womb Work, a deepening in and an inward journey.  Just saying.  It’s also the time to work with the gorgeous archetype of Hekate as she sits at the crossroads.  

We had a glorious gathering in Creatrix Circle yesterday to walk into the energy of Samhain, invited in Hekate and the Ancestors.  

With Samhain happening tomorrow you need to understand (or not).

We are beckoned to connect more deeply with our inner worlds and the ancestral realms.

The ancestors are near.

The ancient ones are communing with us in long-forgotten tongues.

They are speaking through the fire—through the crackle of wood, the dance of smoke, the burning of herbs.

They are helping us to remember who we truly are and the ancestral medicine we hold.

The elements are our ancestors, too, holding us in the eternal memory of what it means to be children of the earth.

If you have a loved one that has crossed over, on Samhain night say a special prayer, or do something to remind you of them. Eat their favourite food, or light a candle in their name.

And beyond reaching out to passed loved ones, make time to acknowledge the “deaths” both great and small in your life. There are so many things that have “died” this year, so honour the ones that matter most to you, even if they are a little painful.

Look to nature for guidance, as it is always showing us how it dies and rebirths itself again and again. 

What if on Samhain you chose to release stuffing your shadows and really embrace, love and trust all the different parts of you that work together as you live your most creative, honest and beautiful life?

What if you actually remember and embrace all you are – a wholeness?  Remembering the important life lessons that have come our way, such as: – I remember that masks that stay on too long will stick to my skin.  I remember I always have a choice.  I remember that if I am asked to keep a piece of me hidden, this is not where I belong.  It’s about diving into your core values and living them.   

So, when I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide and teach this week I nearly snorted tea out of my nose when I saw who was most adamant.  (Seriously you can’t make this shit up!) 

This is the first time these guides have come out to play in public.  I will say it is one of the sets I have been using everyday since they insisted on taking them home (which funnily enough was 10 minutes before a Baba Yaga play.) And interestingly enough 4 of them wanted to join!

They use the word W.I.T.C.H – woman in total control of herself, and in a nutshell (as we are doing a brief into today).  They invite you to become a disciple of inner devotion, resurrect the silver salvation of self-respect, believe in yourself and your wild holy heart like it’s a sovereign religion.  As it is.  And the world needs more missionaries.  

Thus with the thought of wholeness, reclaiming the energy that you use to hide pieces of  yourself or your pain, that sense of release –  close your eyes down and just breathe.  Just breathe, trust and allow this all to swirl.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug.

If you need a bit more guidance, come find your ancestors – as they have much to share with you.  

Did you remember to pick?

Come see what the guides want to share with you.

THE RESCUER

Killer empathy is real.  Most women never identify it, let alone unravel its suffocating grasp on their lives.  

While empathy is a superpower, it is a double-edged sword.  It enables you to be considerate of and cooperative with others, but on the other side of empathy is the rescuer, who, in her compassion, is determined to save those she loves and that which she cares about most.

This will lead her to sacrifice her time, energy and other resources in the name of fixing, saving, solving, helping and otherwise rescuing those people and situations she feels have a great need.

This side of empathy cuts deeply into her life force, often resulting in the haemorrhage of her time, vitality and creativity.

A W.I.T.CH, however, knows that her empathy must have boundaries.  

She helps those who help themselves, jumping in to assist rather than save or fix.  She trusts that others have their own guides and their own soul’s code to assist their journey, just as she does.

She’s willing to resist the impulse to care-take or rescue, allowing others the opportunity to grow, expand, and develop their own agency.  

Now is the time to resist the urge to manage another’s experience and keep your precious empathic energy in balance.  

THE PREDATOR

You know that 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 a 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.T.C.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.

DISCIPLE OF RITUAL

You are connected to all things. 

Remembering this is part of your empowerment.  Forgetting it is part of your diminishment.  

When we honour our Earth as Mother, our Sky as Father and praise the wind cousins, the water ancestors, the stone family and the fire friends, we are taking our place in the great family.  

The animistic way of being in the world is remembering that spirit lives in all things, not just humans.  

This is a time to remember ritual as an act of inclusion.  Ritual is your way of acknowledging your part in the Great Family.

Accept its blessings and be grateful for the ways life conspires to bless you.  

The sun creates enough energy in one day to run all the machines of the planet for more than a thousand years.  

There’s more oxygen available than you can ever breathe.  

The water on this planet was the same water available to the dinosaurs, to Mary Magdalene, to Gandhi.  

The planet you were born to is genius in both generations and regeneration.

We are sharing or squandering its riches, and the potential of our own psyche, in any given moment.

A W.I.T.CH. understands that when she praises the sunrise and sings to the moon, she is joining creation’s ongoing conversation.

She is unafraid to petition these forces for support and alliance, but starts first with the gratitude of all the blessings she didn’t have to earn:  a place on the planet that is distinctively hers, with an abundance of natural resources she didn’t have to create.

Now is the time for ritual.

Put your gratitude and prayers into song or dance or the quiet intensity of a candle flame.

It doesn’t matter how you create a sacred moment for ritual, just that you do it.

Now is the time.  

LADY OF PERPETUAL REBIRTH

Death comes for all of us.  

But this isn’t a death card; it’s a rebirth card.

It’s an invitation to clean and clear out what needs to end, in order to welcome the new.

What ideas or beliefs have become weighty?  Overwhelming?  Outdated?  What thoughts no longer fit you?  What convictions cause exhaustion or illness when you embody them?

Our Lady of Perpetual Rebirth is here to usher out the old and midwife the new.  Pay special attention to your dreams.  There are signs and symbols showing themselves to you right now that will indicate what wants to be loosened  and released.  

The new vision, new awareness, new life that is circling you right now will also send out strong signals.  Pay attention.  

Listen, watch, observe.  This is a time to let go of what no longer serves.

A W.I.T.C.H. can welcome death with the same enthusiasm a moth displays when flying into fire.

She hurls herself towards her own endings, knowing her next beginnings live inside the fire of her passion, the heat of longing calling her forward.

Are you listening?

Holy Hannah, if those don’t make your jaw drop as super clear guidance messages at this time, then I have no clue what will.  Wishing you a wonderful liminal time, I hope you peel off the masks and embrace your whole self.  If you need more support with this celebration the Magickal Book of Samhain is available for one more week.  Huge hugs and squeezes!

Super Lunar Eclipse in Taurus and Samhain is just over a week away!

· ·

Delicious, lovely!  Happy Magickal, Mysterious, Merry, Melodious, Magnificent, Magickal Manifesting Monday!  

Whoot, so much to talk about this week! 

But first I would like to say – I don’t know about you, but I’ve been loving the energy of this month!  

We had Friday the 13th (Goddess Day), a Solar Eclipse in Libra and now we are approaching a Lunar Eclipse in Taurus and Samhain (Halloween) is just round the corner!  I love it!

So yes there is a glorious Magickal Samhain Guidebook for you.  45 pages of all sorts of wonder, ritual, magick, lore and more!

This glorious guide helps you to go from feeling a little lost, unsteady, spiritually unsatisfied in your life to feeling deeply connected with nature & the Divine, and in tune with your Authentic Self – by creating a personal practice rooted in the seasons.

There is also going to be a lovely Samhain gathering on Sunday October 29th at 9am PST (more details to come this week as here we have had three birthdays this weekend and I have created two amazing wedding ceremonies!)

But back to the eclipses (as we are in the portal of them) – remember, eclipses always come in pairs – the New and Full Moon.

And yes, the time between eclipses is highly charged.  Emotions can feel raw, and anxiety runs high! Eclipses bring karmic endings and fateful new beginnings.  

Okay, we have lots to chat about so grab a cuppa – snuggle up and let’s rock and roll.

Let’s talk about this eclipse that occurs on October 28th (so this Saturday).  

Yes the moon is in Taurus but it is also called the Hunters Moon.  This is the time when the the spiritual bond between the human soul and the October Full Moon connects. 

It’s a celestial feast full of meaning, a ghostly dance of ritual, and represents the very core of astrology and spirituality.

Throughout the hallowed pages of history, the Hunters Moon has symbolised a time of harvest, abundance, the afterlife, spiritual transformation, and divination.  Remember last week we talked about what does it mean “The Veil is Thinning?”

Remember under a Full Moon eclipse this is massive release and soul connection energy, this is not the time to set intentions, or do rituals pertaining to manifesting.  

Hence why in Creatrix Circle we are having our Samhain Gathering the day after!

So let’s talk about Samhain, which happens on October 31st.  Duh!

This is a powerful, powerful, powerful time of year.  Aka The Witches New Year.  

This is when we celebrate All Hallows Eve and honour our ancestors who have paved the way before us.   You don’t have to identify as a Witch to celebrate Samhain, the time of deepening and releasing.  The time of calling in your ancestors, clearing and claiming the ancestral line.  

This time of year is when we have the opportunity to celebrate the cycle of death and rebirth as the veil between our world and the spiritual world is at its thinnest. 

Samhain is the season of Death. Right now, nature is teaching us the important role Death plays in the cycle of Life.

The natural world is dying. Things are being cleared away, making room for new life to take root.

And it’s reminding us of the critical role Death plays in our own personal growth journeys. You can’t evolve without letting things die away. Outdated beliefs, stories, habits; relationships that no longer serve you; jobs that crush your spirit – these things have to die away in order to keep evolving.

Samhain is the season to let things die. The energy is supporting you in this difficult work. Nature is showing how beautiful the process can be.

Okay, I’ve chuntered on enough, let’s crack on with the reading.  So when I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide and support this week I giggled when I saw it was The Oracle of Shadows and Light.  With the invitation to walk into the Full Moon Eclipse, they are positively perfect!

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them

Wisdom for Misfits, Mystics, Seekers, and Wanderers. 

Bittersweet…Unheard…Unconventional…Rebellious…Cheeky…Whimsical…Invisible.  They’re not the words you often hear associated with the spiritual world, are they?  

Nevertheless, some of the most spiritual beings who have ever lived are those who have been most at odds with what we call the mainstream.  They do not fit in.  They have had moments of despair.  And they know being truthful, and being real, is one of the greatest strengths and spiritual paths of all!  They ask you to step out from the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and to consult with an oracle that acknowledges your individuality and strange genius!  

How’s that for a warm welcome?

Ready?  Willing to just settle in for a few minutes?  It won’t take long, the invitation is to breathe and just BE for a few moments and with this amazing Full Moon energy swirling around you pick out something you are willing to release and reframe.  Got it?  When you are ready pick the card or cards that tug at your soul strings.  

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see who wants to share with you this week.

STRANGELY LONELY

Holding on way too tight.

This sweet and defiant being holds fast to her Celtic cross, clutching her belief system, because without it she is not sure who she truly is.  Perhaps it was given to her by a beloved, perhaps it represents her family, a loved one, or aspects of her soul.  

But the reason she holds on so tight is that she is lonely and has yet to connect with her soul family on a day to day basis.  

One dilemma with living in a world you feel you must protect is that you fear other people intruding on it, disturbing the delicate balance!  So, you hold on tighter to whatever you have, or whatever you feel makes you, you.

The truth is your inner world is richer than most, and it’s an imaginative paradise – or hell – depending on your state of mind.  

You are holding so tightly to something that it is proving to be a barrier between you and others – which is why you feel so alone at times.  At present, you may need to open up just a little, and admit that you crave like minded people around you.

This does not mean people who do the same things for a living as you – it means people who speak to your soul.

You’re craving metaphysical and mysterious discussions, and you’ve got some questions that truly need answers – or at least an exploration.

Please let go, just a little, and notice how this gives you room to interact and engage with loving others, and this therefore helps you re-create your world anew.  

It is likely you will choose carefully who you allow in – but at least one person does need to be let in and at least one “security blanket” needs to be shown the door.

Just for the moment.  

SEWER MERMAID

Your sensuality is beautiful!

You’re being reminded of the treasures you have that you may have labelled “bad” and perhaps even pushed away, forced underneath.  We often have negative thoughts – that we are too short, too tall, our thighs too large, our breasts too small, our hair not right, our face not pretty enough.  We speak to ourselves in negative ways, and we begin to feel we are not good enough.  

And when this takes place, the result can be that we begin to create negative experiences, blockages, and difficulties.  

We push away, rather than attract them.  We hide for fear that what others see will not be good enough. 

But this mermaid of the hidden spaces is here to show you that your dark thoughts have told you lies about your great beauty; you are your own self, and all that you are is perfect, whole, and complete.  

You may try to push her away and refuse to believe that you are beautiful.  But when you are ready, she will swim to you and free you from all the harmful, negative thoughts and experiences, all the “sewage”.  You will begin to believe that no matter what, you are a beautiful being, healthy, attractive, and one who deserves love, respect, and affection.

It’s time to believe in yourself – that you are attractive, beautiful, and worthy of love and respect.  She will show you how to see your body as a place of health, delight, and strength.  Let’s clean up your physical and mental acts.  Let’s love all aspects of the physical self.  

Let us not criticise and hate ourselves, no matter our size, shape, or differences.  We are all unique expressions of the Divine – and that truth most certainly applies to you.  Let us not be ashamed anymore.  

Let us celebrate who we are, and learn to love the differences, and be grateful for all that we have, are, and will be.  

It is time to clean up your act – not of your natural looks, but of the way you have thought about yourself!  Something beautiful has been treated badly.  It is now up to you to begin to reframe your ideas and thoughts and therefore your experiences of yourself, your body, your worth, your ability to attract others, and to see yourself as worthy of love, respect, and consideration.

You are beautiful and very worth loving.  This is the only truth that must be told at this time.  

WITCH AT THE END OF THE WORLD

An important end, a new beginning.  

Storms fly about her, electrical whips crack through the heavy air with their bites of fire, and she sits among them, hugging her hourglass, holding everything together till the force creating the change has done its work.  

When the Witch at the End of the World makes her appearance to you, you will know that something’s time has come.  There can be no more delaying, for the change has begun.  

So the best thing for you to do now is prepare for this change.  

Find solutions to challenges that will come up when the change comes.  You will be fine, by the way, and all will be well, but there will be a time of seeming chaos and difficulty.  

If you are prepared, and ready to let go and change, and let something end, the little witch’s countdown will not affect you as it will affect others who refuse to acknowledge that changes are coming and become fearful at their inevitable approach.  

There is nothing to fear, but plenty to prepare for.  You will be safe, and well, and very ready to embrace the new world.  

I am not wicked, but I am a witch, and changes are made when the world bends and shifts.  

I hold this hourglass up to  you now so you know that the time for an ending is almost upon us.  

You can see the signs all about you – the strange weather, the hurricanes, the cyclones, the earth changes all about us – but so many simply say I am wicked for showing you this.  They blame me for what they call the catastrophes, and they ignore the signs.  They are with you, and it is time to be ready.  

We are all about to experience a huge change – and it will be for the better.  But while we hold on to the old, the storms will blast us, and the land will shift, and self-healing will look like destruction.

There is nothing to be frightened of; only a voyage to weather, and you’ll make it through to the other side of the storm.  

The changes are part of our journey to a fifth-dimensional world, of the shift to a more peaceful planet, where shadows and light are loved and accepted.  All is well. 

Wowzer, what delicious guides for this eclipse week and the approaching Samhain!  I love it.

So delicious lovely, remember to grab your copy of the Samhain Guidebook, come join us for a Samhain gathering and be gentle with yourself in these crazy times and crazy energies.  Massive hugs and squeezes!

The Veil is Thinning, Samhain is Coming, When Nature and Eclipse energy Collide!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Misty, Mizzly, Magnificent, Musical, Manifesting Monday!

Hello my darling, how was the Libra New Moon Lunar Eclipse for you?  I got up bright and early and yomped off to a glorious craggy spot that faces the East and watched what I could whilst the dogs cavorted – ignorant of the energy that was flooding in!

But the energy was intense and it was fascinating to note the change in the suns colour and the temperature.

Remember that New moons represent new beginnings – one cycle has come to a close & a new one begins. It’s a powerful time to start something new, plant new seeds you want to grow in your life. New Moons initiate new ideas.. They bring new dreams to life. With this solar eclipse something new is beginning in a larger, profound way. A major chapter in your life is coming to a close and a new one is beginning.

The solar eclipse helps expose deeper parts of yourself, so you start a new chapter more aligned with your soul. It’s here to help your truest, most authentic self emerge. It gives permission to the parts of yourself you usually hide away to step forward in the light of day.

The Sun represents your ego – it’s the mask you wear in the world; and the Moon is your shadow, the part of yourself you keep hidden. During the solar eclipse, darkness falls on the Sun & your shadow is revealed in the light of day.

Lunar eclipses usher in change, they can be a time of massive transformation – time of expansion & evolution.

Lunar eclipses are powerful teachers. If changes need to be made in your life, the lunar eclipse will set those things in motion. It pushes things along sometimes causing abrupt endings & changes – whether you want it, or not.

Lunar Eclipses bring things to the surface so they can be cleared away.

What’s been coming up for you recently? Has the Universe been nudging you to release something in your life?

I imagine it has! This is important work at this time of year. Autumn is all about releasing old patterns, mindsets, ways of living that no longer serve us.

The seasonal energy & the eclipse energy are really colliding right now. They are aligning to support you in this transformative, brave, difficult work of letting go whatever we are needing to release in our lives – in order to move into the next chapter in our lives.

Just look at the trees around you, the leaves are changing colour and starting to gently release their hold on the branches.

So guess what? With all of this happening it means that Halloween/Samhain is coming! (You should see my happy dance!) 

I love, love, love Halloween, it is my most favourite celebration. The pumpkin carving, the costumes, the terrorising small children when they come for sweeties and the decorating.

You should see all the fun creations I have been making to decorate the front yard with!  I will tell you about them next week.  And you will be able to see photos of them on my Instagram.  

Now, many of you have already started asking if there is going to be a Magikal Manual for Samhain (Halloween), you bet!  It will be available next weekish.  So if you are part of our wonderful email community you will hear about it.  

Now you may have heard people say “Samhain is coming and the veil is thinning.“

But what does that actually mean?

Let’s begin this exploration by considering that on one level, we are each separate beings with our finite little lives. But on a truer level, we are each infinite and eternal. We have no beginning and no end. And we are one with each other and every single thing. At Samhain, that relentless, all-pervasive Mystery is as close as it ever gets. And now we’ve arrived at what we mean when we say “the veil is thin.” 

You might say the veil is the place where the everyday illusion of separation brushes up against the divine truth of eternity and universal interconnection. The place where form meets spirit, seen meets unseen, known meets unknown.

When we meditate or perform ritual, or when we have a mystical experience of any variety, this curtain parts and we are able to gaze into the place of power, the place between the worlds.

Okay, enough chuntering on let’s crack on with the reading!  When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide, heal and support this week I was delighted to see that The Spirit of the Animals Oracle chose to shine.  

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.”

Wonderful!  So my darling one just settle in.  Allow your breath to bring you back into your body and call back all the pieces of you that you may have left in various places throughout the last week.  Just breathe them all back to your core, like welcoming in little sparks of starlight.  

To help you with this, there’s a lovely guided visualisation where we shall go for a little walk together, yes?

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go and have a look shall we?

LIZARD

Lizard is an Ancient One.  They are reptiles from an older time.  Their quick action and quirky maneuvers outwit and confuse their adversaries.  Lizards survive.

Lizard is sometimes called the “little dragon”.  Lizard medicine has the power of regeneration and transformation.  Lizards can shed their skin, their tail, let go of the past and step into a positive future.  Lizard people know they can survive anything and heal against incredible odds.  They are powerful dreamers and should pay attention to messages that come from their subconscious.  You can receive warnings that will help you avoid pitfalls.

If Lizard has chosen you, you have the “little dragon” within.  Dragons are those who are free of the limitations of the past and transform into greater awareness of self and personal power.  With Lizard medicine, you can transcend injury and hardship.  Lizard people re-grow and renew themselves into wholeness.

As a survivor you are unparalleled,

No matter what happens you can adapt.

Embrace your transformation.

Put on your new cloak,

You are a master of regeneration.  

PEACOCK

The Peacock is the most iridescent of all birds.  Their feathered cloak of blue, aqua and gold is worthy of royalty.  Their boisterous cries hold both mockery and laughter, which comes from their regal self-confidence.  Peacocks are blessed with clear vision that notices the smallest detail.  Because of their ability to eat poisonous snakes, Peacocks were used as protectors in ancient temples. 

If Peacock appears good luck will follow.  The feathers of Peacock are symbols for protection, prosperity and sensuality.  The Peacock is a symbol for rebirth and new beginning like its cousin the elusive Phoenix.

If Peacock has walked into your life you have a colourful and vibrant personality that is sure to win admirers.  You can raise yourself to great heights of brilliance in your field.  Peacock people have the gift of observation and keen perception.  Your inner vision brings you wisdom and foresight.  You must guard against letting your vanity or pride get the better of you. 

The best Peacocks are just their authentic selves.  Your positivity and radiance helps lift others up to realise their own worth.

You were born to shine and inspire.

Practice humility to avoid jealousy.

Be grateful for life

And more good things will come.

Be true to yourself and 

Recognise your brilliance.  

OWL

Owl is the messenger and revealer of secrets.  The totem of oracles and seers, Owl sits on their shoulder and is their advisor  When Owl flies into your life know that a time of unveiling is at hand and the truth will be made known.  Change is in the wind. 

Owl medicine can help you release the past and fly into a better future. 

Owls are creatures of the night.  Their silent flight and superior vision make them supreme hunters.  They capture the prize.  If they cross your path repeatedly it is a warning to review your situation and see where deception is lurking.  To see an owl can be an omen that a profound change is coming.

If Owl is your totem you are an Old Soul.  You succeed with wisdom.  No one can deceive you and you see into others’ souls.  Be sure to keep your knowledge secret unless asked to provide counsel.  Trust should not be broken. 

Ask your Owl totem to sit on your shoulder and guide you.  Become the conscious student of Owl.  Embrace your gifts and fly with the  masters

Choose to know the truth because you can.

Open your inner vision.

You can see through deception.

Let the past go and make room for a better life.

Rise up, Magick and Wisdom are your birthright.  

Oh my Goddess!  Perfect guides for this week.  Regeneration, Vibrance and Magick!  Whoot!  So darling one, have a fabulous week.  Big hugs and squeezes and remember to go dance in the leaves and pick a Pumpkin!

Canadian Thanksgiving, Friday the 13th, Libra New Moon Eclipse! I love October!

· ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Marvellous, Magnetic, Merry, Mystical, Manifesting Monday!!  

Here in Canada it is our Thanksgiving weekend.  I hadn’t planned to do a reading this weekend, but I was given a firm nudge from my guides, so here we are!

So let’s go explore Thanksgiving, Friday the 13th and the Libra Moon Eclipse!  

Thanksgiving is a glorious time for me filled with amazing memories, great food, great friends and family and it really brings to the forefront to remember all the things to be grateful for and to celebrate life!   

I personally had an amazing weekend.  I went on a full day jaunt to a wee little island called Saturna, which I had never been to.  Why?  I had been asked to marry a wonderful couple, and  we had co-created such an amazing ceremony together, their vows were said over a huge pile of rose quartz.  It was magickal!  And as it takes a while to get there and get back (ferries) I had the opportunity to fit in some lovely hiking and exploring with a friend and the doggos.  

Which in turn meant I wasn’t feeling impelled to cook a massive Thanksgiving dinner the next day and voila!  One of my boys offered to do the whole thing and host the whole fam damily, so it worked out perfectly.  And the food was fabulous!

So Friday the 13th in October – yes please!

It makes me laugh how Friday the 13th gets such a bad rap.  That it is a bad luck day, that awful things will happen and all the rest of that bullshit!

If we research why it got such a bad rap, it most likely comes from the Christian Tradition as at the Last Supper there was Jesus and 12 apostles (thus 13), Judas—a person who is said to have betrayed Jesus—was the 13th guest at the Last Supper. Also in the Bible, many unfortunate things happened on Fridays.  

However, I suggest we take it back to its original meaning!

Friday the 13th is associated with various aspects of the feminine, including goddesses and the moon. 

Before patriarchal times, Friday the 13th was considered the day of the Goddess, a day to worship the Divine Feminine. This association highlights the reverence for feminine energies and principles.

The 13th day often falls in the middle of the moon cycle, representing the midway point between death and rebirth. It’s a time associated with transition and change, echoing the cyclical nature of the moon.

Friday is named after Freya, a goddess, and is symbolically connected to Venus, epitomising feminine energy. This energy is believed to be particularly strong on Fridays, including Friday the 13th.

There are 13 phases of the moon in a year, which symbolise the divine feminine. This concept is not only present in astrology but has historical significance as well.

In summary, Friday the 13th has deep connections to goddesses, the moon, and the celebration of feminine energy, representing a day that embraces the Divine Feminine and its cycles.

See where I’m going with this?

The day after Friday the 13th we have the glorious Libra New Moon Solar Eclipse!

The Libra New Moon Solar Eclipse falls on October 14, and is the second Eclipse in the Aries-Libra cycle that we will be working with over the coming years.

As this Eclipse cycle is relatively new, many seeds are still being planted. We may not be able to wrap our heads around exactly the journey this Eclipse cycle will take us on, and it may feel harder to see the bigger picture.

On a collective scale, the Aries-Libra Eclipse cycle is triggering our connections, intimacy, relationships, and how we choose to show up in them. It is also working on our feelings of inner strength and confidence, reminding us that we each possess what is necessary to lead the best life possible.

On a New Moon, energy is drawn within, and we are guided to connect with our deeper truth. What is really important to us? What do we desire? How are we feeling?

By connecting with our inner world, we can unlock a new level of understanding, not just about who we are, but where we are going. We may feel new ideas bubbling or start to gain a sense of what we wish to put out into the world.

New Moons are fantastic times to set intentions, but under a New Moon Solar Eclipse, the energies are a lot stronger. With these strong energies, we can indeed set some very, very powerful intentions. What we put out into the Universe will be magnified and strong. However, as the Eclipse energies are so powerful, there is actually more magic to be found in the surrender.

This means that rather than controlling the narrative, we surrender to the Universe. We allow ourselves to flow, trusting that whatever comes our way will be exactly what we need for our current state of consciousness.

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading.  When I asked the decks who wanted to show up this week I laughed my soxs off when I saw it was The Divine Circus Oracle.  

“What is life if not a Divine Circus?  Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us  moments earlier.  Life is magical, thrilling, sometimes strange and even scary.  It can inspire you and touch your soul, inviting you to discover the unique magic within you, to dare to live it, to express it, to play with possibilities and embrace what sets you apart from the crowd. “

Thus, I invite you to breathe and just BE with your gorgeous self here at this moment.  Take a few lovely, rich, nourishing breaths and let the cares of the moment slide off like wee little raindrops.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

If you need some help and support releasing the “shoulds”, the weight of energy around you I have a lovely guided visualisation for you.  It’s fun, we are going on an exploration!

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to go have a look?

DARK HARLEQUIN

Bells are ringing from deep inside.  Something that once had to hide is seeking your attention.  It wants out!  It wants to be free!  As you release what was once shut away, your discomfort shall turn to glee.  

You are a spiritual adventurer!  You are not afraid to go to the edge of what you know, of who you have believed yourself to be.  Even when before you there lies the darkness of unknown worlds, of undiscovered parts of you, even when you feel uncertainty, discomfort or doubt, you are still willing to figure out what it’s all about,  

So you’ve come to a place in you, and in your life, where you don’t know.  You don’t know what’s happening.  You don’t know how to work through it.  You don’t know who you are (well, not all of who you are).  You don’t know what you don’t know.  You are at the point of not knowing because you are growing. There will be surprises.  There will be discoveries.  You’ll feel awkward at times, like you are trying to see in the dark.  

Don’t be afraid to let there be some inner rattling and rampaging.  You are at a time when you are naturally diving into the darkness for a healing purpose.  So ask the difficult questions.  Do things you wouldn’t normally do.  Experiment with thinking in ways you wouldn’t normally think.  

Be willing to let everything change for the better by first letting go of how things are now.  The messier your inner world seems to be right now, the more you can expect complete and utter transformation as a new order comes into form.  Expect the unexpected, for you were born to grow into what is happening now.  

It’s time to let the wild thing out!

THE PROUD PIERETTE

If you were proud of who you are and everything you have learned in your life, free from shame, guilt or judgement, what would you choose for yourself today?  The choices you make for yourself from a place of feeling good are going to be more loving and helpful than anything from a place of self-judgement. 

You’ve nothing to regret, you’ve learned a lot and you are a beautiful unique being on a wild divine journey.  Be kind to yourself.  Keep your head up!  Then it will be easier to keep growing and glowing.

Dear wild one, have you felt like you’ve lost your footing? Got a bit clumsy? Made a mistake? Have you been second-guessing your choices?  Don’t you dare doubt you!  Be proud of all you’ve done and how far you’ve come.  Never be ashamed of who you are, or the journey you’ve taken.  

If you feel that life is getting you down, or you should have, or could have, made different decisions in life – be reassured, you are doing a great job!  You are meant to have learning experiences.  What matters is that you choose to learn.  And you do!  In your own time and your own way, you make sense of things, and you grow wiser and stronger as a person.

If you feel any ridicule, judgement or shaming is coming from those around you – trust you are stronger and wilder and more beautiful and true than any of that mean-spirited fearfulness.  Let the mud that is being slung slide right off or remain stuck in the hands of those throwing it your way.  Keep your sense of inner dignity intact.  Never make yourself smaller to placate the fear in another’s heart.  Take pride in who you are. 

 Be proud to be you!  And know that this is a way to respect and honour the creative loving power of the universe that created you!

MEANT FOR YOU

You’ve voiced your intent, setting in motion a natural creative process.  What you want has been summoned forth and is now headed your way.  Don’t hesitate, refuse to receive, or pass this gift on to another.  It is meant for you.  Grab it!  Within this new opportunity is exactly what you have been waiting for….what you have been wanting to create, what truly makes your heart sing.

What is rightfully yours is – or very soon will be – right in front of you.  Caught up in a spiralling wave of new beginnings, it is time to reach out and grab what is headed your way.  Opportunity is the universe believing in you.  Return the compliment by accepting what is being offered with open arms and a trusting heart.  You’ll be glad you did.  

Don’t worry if this opportunity seems to be leading you down a different path to what you expected.  All paths lead us to where we need to be.  Sometimes the universe just has a better idea of what will get us to our destination at the perfect time, and along the pathway that will be of most benefit to all.  Trust what is happening.  Accept that you deserve good things to happen to you, and don’t be shy.  

Now is your time to step up, open your mouth (and your arms) and say, “Thank you!  I accept!”

What a glorious reading for this Canadian Thanksgiving and New Moon Eclipse.  I invite you to use the energy of this day to really focus on all the people, places, situations and things that you are grateful for and to release and surrender those that don’t serve you.  Don’t forget to write down your New Moon wishes and remember – there’s magick everywhere, guidance and love everywhere.  Have a glorious week and see you next Monday.  Huge hugs and squeezes.

October is Here, The Energy has Changed, We Just Had a Full Moon in Aries and the Eclipse portal doth open!

· ·

Hello most gorgeous lovely – Happy Magickal, Miraculous, Moodling, Merry, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!  The first Monday of October!!

I don’t know about you but it felt as if September just went zipping by, I put that down to the fact that in my family we are in the birthday season.  Yes I did say season.  We had 5 birthdays to celebrate in September (including mine and thank you all for your lovely birthday wishes) and from now until Winter Solstice we have another 9 to celebrate!  

I had such a lovely weekend going away with the famdam to Salt Spring Island to celebrate birthdays and Equinox.  It was positively magickal!  Adventuring, exploring, crafting, laughing, frisbee playing and quiet moments of reflection.  

So snuggle up honey, grab a cuppa and let’s natter as we have lots to explore this week!  We have an energy shift, we just had a glorious Full Moon in Aries this past weekend and the Eclipse portal doth open!

With moving into October (one of my favorite months) as I love Samhain (Halloween), the veil thinning and the honoring of the ancestors, we have had a huge energy shift.  Many of you have written asking for tools and help as the energy is feeling quite off the wall and at times overwhelming.  Which I totally understand.  

In fact the other day I was very aware that the energy felt sharp and it was as if everything was very loud and too bright – so this is where self care tools and energetic tools come into play in a big way..

As Lena shares, The theme for October is: “Be Ruthless”.

Just to clarify, being ruthless does NOT mean using it as an excuse to be nasty, mean spirited, judgmental or rejecting of others.

Being Ruthless this month means being ruthless with yourself and resetting the habits of complaining and whining about your life into real action for improvement, evolution and change.

There is still an element of letting go of the dead weight as well as the opportunity to be open to receiving something new in its place.

This will not happen unless you get off the fence and actually do something to improve your life. Enough talk, enough planning, enough complaining. You deserve better and it is time to take advantage of the very potent energies we have this month with the 2 eclipses.

You have the opportunity to finally set yourself on a new track by changing the story and giving up the attachment to anything of the past including all disappointments, successes, identities, traumas, resentments, and any way you hold yourself or others hostage to unresolved issues.

So what can you put in place that will nourish you and support you this month?  What daily practice do you work with to clear your energy and the sharp bits?

On September 29th we had the glorious Full Moon in Aries, also known as The Harvest Moon.  

The Harvest Moon is focused on gratitude for what you have, where you are and an awareness that you need to start turning inward.

We now begin the dark half of the year; accept and welcome the darkness with open arms and spirit.

Take a moment to look back in history at your ancestors and the lessons they can teach you. Before industrialism, people focused on harvesting and preparing for the coming of Winter.

Failure to do so meant facing one’s own death or mortality.

You can feel the magical energy in the air right now as we head toward Samhain, and the veil grows thin. 

This increases your ability to communicate with your ancestors or loved ones. It’s an opportunity for spiritual growth, goal setting, gratitude, and finding ways to slow down and enjoy the season of Autumn.

It’s also a Healing Moon however, this isn’t healing that comes in a nice tidy package, this is the healing that comes when you hit the place of surrender.  Which is the perfect time to invite the wisdom, support and love of your ancestral team to come work with you, or to heal and release any ancestral wounds you may be packing around.  

Chiron, coupled with the Aries lunar energy, promises healing, not from trying to fix, control, or force, but from surrender. When we surrender, it gives rise to acceptance, to letting go, to forgiveness, and opens us to the possibilities that those states can create.

And I know for many people the word “surrender” is so tough to embrace, however, it is an incredibly powerful thing to do.  

So do you see how the energy of the month and the Full Moon energy are tying together?

Then later in the month we open up the second Eclipse Portal of the year.  This is a time of significant acceleration of the collective and individual evolutionary pace. That in turn will open new doors and bring fated changes in our lives.

However, we will explore that later this month, as with the Full Moon energy it’s time to do some clearing and healing and embrace the energy of this month so that when Eclipse time comes you are feeling open, accepting, and supported.

Yes?

Okay, if you have read this far, let’s crack on with the reading.  Lol.  

When I went to the glorious cards and asked who wanted to guide and support you this week I was delighted to see  The Oracle of the Shapeshifters.  As we are all shapeshifting in some shape or form right now.

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 fulfill 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.”

Oh my giddy Aunt, the perfect guides for this week!  So there we have it, are you ready?

Okay my darling, take a moment to breathe yourself here.  Hold your hand up to your heart level with the palms facing up to the sky.  See golden light being poured into them from the Divine and entering your heart and flooding through every cell of your body.  

Stay here a moment and just breathe that in.  

Then when you are ready, ask your wise self, your divine self, what do you need to know this week to support you in working with the energies of this month.  Then pick the card or cards that resonate for you.  

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

ORCA MAGICK

Orcas are the brilliant, physical, living reservoirs of Earth and galactic history.  They are the carriers of wizards on their backs, according to Norse myth, meaning they carry the great sage lines of transformation and transmutation, and can pass this lore along.  They hold this history in the patterns of their ancient songs.  

One day we will translate the songs and understand our own past times.  Their bodies, those huge, resonating cavities, store the history of the planet herself.  They travel the world’s oceans, singing, clearing, and awakening the energy grid again and again, preserving, reviving, renewing ancestral lines that need to be in place for this planet to be whole and well, now and in the future.  

Earth is currently undergoing a vast initiation.  Some have called this an ascension, although what it truly is has nothing to do with high or low, but with an integration of more dimensions, fully awakening your DNA and charging your auric field to a more powerful capacity.  Healing, materialising into new forms, and creating will be greatly enhanced at this time.  

You are a keeper of galactic mysteries and you have a strong starperson connection.  Starpeople are connected to the growing need to connect to the galactic web, which we are a vital part of.  It is time to take yourself outside and gaze up into the night sky.  Learn about the constellations you can view from your home.  Tune in to the worlds beyond this world, and ask that they connect with you in healthful ways.  

Whales can assist with intergalactic travel (without physically leaving the planet), seal and repair any wounds or tears in your energy field, and return to you the parts of your soul that you may be unaware are even missing.  

A TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

A time to say goodbye will help you to let go, even though it hurts a lot.  This is now out of your hands; you have to say goodbye at this time.  Be active in this ending when this card comes to you. 

Be brave; think about how you can best take care of yourself at this time, and show the other person how much you care.  Don’t ignore or shun them.  Rather, let this person know what they have meant to you, wish them well on the next stage of their life journey, and let….them…go! 

There may be great sadness in doing so, but you will grow so much because you have chosen the better way to deal with this sad situation.  This other person has learned how to detach and stay detached.  He asks that you do not ask for him to return, to stay, or to cling. 

Be strong because you need to be dignified, and believe that something better is coming.  Because that is the truth.  Something better is coming.  So open your arms, and let him be free, as he has learned to be. 

You may be reluctant to see an ending – you may wish to extend the time you have with someone, or you may even feel like you are being cheated out of something you deserve.  But the truth is that things must die in order to be reborn in another form at a later time. 

This is the chosen time to go, and from the ashes, something new will arise, and it will be even better than you can imagine.  Rebirth cannot take place without a death – and it is now time to end something, to let something both externally and internally die.  It may be a long-held belief, a place that seemed to hold security, a friendship that has grown unhealthy, someone you’ve been going out with who no longer wishes to see you, or a beloved family member who may not be in this world much longer.  Whatever it is, let it – let them – go!  Something else will return to you.  And you cannot be reborn unless you first know how to die. 

This is your chance to learn something very profound, deep, and important.  Do not miss it by resisting what must take place.   

SNOW WHITE AND HER ANIMAL FRIENDS

You are loved and trusted.  Even the small ones of the forest gather with you after times of great unrest, when they feel they cannot find another trustworthy human to be with.  You have the energy of the gentle ones, and thus the small ones, the vulnerable ones like us, come to you – not to take, but to show you how trusted you are.

It is not a burden; it is a great honour.  Rarely do we show ourselves, but to you, we come and lay our heads in your lap.  There is such an air about you.  You are a safe, good person.

It is time for you to step up and protect others who are smaller and more fragile than  you.  This may be a reversal in roles for you, but the deer and the hare and the quiet, soft ones have chosen you because they trust that you can do this job.  

You may feel an unlikely hero, and you may experience a completely unforeseen victory.  But you can do it.  You must take great steps now to live up to this honour and trust.  It will be simple for you while you remain in the forest, but when you venture out into the world once again, will you make choices that support?

Make a commitment to protect .

Something you wished for will be given up, for now, so you can do something for the good of others.

But your energy will change as a result, and that will bring to you your deepest dreams and desires, purified and at the perfect time.  

Oh my Goddess, you seriously can not make this shit up!  Wishing you a glorious two weeks (as it is Thanksgiving here next weekend).  Practice surrendering, and remember to celebrate the Full Moon, Be Ruthless with yourself. Big hugs and squeezes and be kind to your glorious self.
