When Winter Softens: Imbolc, Rest & the Seeds of What’s Next, and a Gift.

Gorgeous Soul,

Hello, and happy February!

I have been quiet since Solstice as that was what my Soul asked me to do.

The world is very, very loud right now, so there were a few things I stepped back from – and the readings was one.

However, I didn’t step back from my amazing clients, playing in the Omen Days and creating, but the feeling of needing to cocoon was intense as has been the shedding (remember we are in the last few weeks of the year of the Snake!)

And I don’t know about you but the last two months have been shedding galore, physically, mentally, spiritually, materialistically – you name it! Talk about being pared down!

But think about Snake energy, this is the Shakti, the Divine Feminine in Kundalini, and as the Snake sheds it skin it moves with ease and grace out of the Old.

Which is where the energy of Imbolc comes in.

So let’s explore the energies of this mid winter time, Imbolc.

I have a glorious gift to support you at this time. If you read on, you will understand why I created her for you.

Imbolc was yesterday on Sunday, February 1st and marks the spot of mid-winter.

The mid place between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. This time of year can feel rather heavy, grey and drab in many ways, but………

Imbolc marks the very first stirrings of new life. It is a time of bitter weather and biting winds. The days may have been growing longer since the Winter Solstice but it often seems like winter is now at its harshest.

The long cold nights of January often weary the spirits and fierce storms are common in February. Yet look closely and glimmers of change can be found in the new buds on the trees and the green shoots of early spring flowers breaking through the frozen earth.

Imbolc brings in the delicious energy which invites you to gently awaken and start planning your new seeds for the year.

And I want you to ask yourself – what are your seeds going to be?

What is your Truth? What do you Desire? (This isn’t about what your mind says you “should do”, it’s about what your heart and soul are calling you to do). Those are two powerful questions to ask yourself and then listen to the whispers that arise.

I love the energy of Imbolc, it’s gentle, inviting and nurturing. It’s a time of AWAKENING.

Not a TO DO Awaken, but a gentle stirring, a slight flexing and a big stretch.

From the hibernation of Winter we oh so gently move into the hope of a spring to come, something new and delightful. From the dark cocoon, we peek to see if things have changed.

Imbolc’s invitation is to teach us how to hold both truths at once.

It doesn’t ask us to bloom. It asks us to prepare in the deep knowing that what is forced in Winter, grows fragile in Spring.

Spiritually, this is a time of new life coming into manifestation. We may only be seeing the tiniest hints of life above the surface but things are really beginning to stir in the darkness.

So come back to the questions – What is Your Truth? What do you Desire?

At Imbolc, we’re beginning to really realise, something is shifting in our lives.

Imbolc itself means “quickening in the belly”. There is something shifting and changing.

We are beginning to root a bit more into this year of 2026 with its delicious 1/10 energy and we are expanding in some way. (Whether you can see it or not – can’t you feel it, though?) And there is a lot of resistance that comes with big expansion.

There’s a whole lot of forces (internal and external) that want to keep you small. It’s scary to level up in your life – and there are really strong parts of us that don’t like that.

But this is the work of winter: Winter is where you integrate all your experiences from last year & it alchemizes into new life, new growth, new parts of you that will emerge in the weeks & months ahead.

Right now there’s a stretching & growing happening deep within you. (Even if you can’t see it, it’s there!) And that can be deeply uncomfortable. Depending on the shifts you’re making in your life, the resistance can be intense.

And it creates a conflict within you. This is where the question arises: do you have the strength & the courage to push through that resistance, to whatever’s on the other side? Or do you give in & lean back on old ways of operating?

This is the challenge and invitation at Imbolc.

If things feel hard for you right now, trust it’s because you are peeling back the layers.

You’re doing big work in your life (even if you can’t see it, yet) and you’re going to feel resistance to that.

At Imbolc, this is when the seeds of your life are created and planted….

So remember to take sweet, gentle care of yourself right now. Nurture yourself, nourish your spirit. And REST, sweet one. Just rest. We are still in winter. This is your most important work.

So to help you with your work I have a gift for you!

This is the Fabulous Imbolc guide, which I nicknamed Fi after my glorious big sister who hated winter! I mean, HATED winter with a passion!

She suffered from SAD and Depression and come December she would tank. Her energy would drop, her mindset would go dark and there were some days that getting out of bed was a struggle.

Yet ever so slowly, as the snowdrops would come and the days would start getting a bit longer, she would Awaken. And it was a slow awakening. Her energy would perk up and she could feel the growth stirring underground, the change and the hope.

So I would like to give this gift to you for free, as I think with all the chaos that has been swirling around, we all need a little love and gentleness.

Imbolc Blessings to you gorgeous one.

May the sun shine on your face, your desires rise to the surface and the seeds that you dream into being flourish throughout the year.

Okay, enough chuntering!

With Imbolc around the corner, when I went to the cards I grinned a huge grin as the gorgeous guides of The Faery Forest Oracle were adamant to join! Now if these are new guides for you, please let me introduce them as it would be rude not to!

“Let us enter the wild green world together, friend, the faery forests where the great trees speak with us, the moss soft underfoot, the light pure and gentle. The homes of the once Sacred groves of the Celts, the Saxons, and the Vikings…and to the people who were here long before we had names with which to call them to us – the faerie people. May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.”

I have created a guided visualisation for you to really see this energy that is flooding in you, around you, towards you and through you. If that doesn’t resonate then just Breathe. Breathe into your toe nails, breathe into the roots of your hair, breathe in all the promises, the blessings and opportunities and sigh your exhale out, letting go of anything that feels a tad sticky or tacky.

When you are ready, invite your inner wise knowing to pick the card or cards that call to you.

What whispers for you, what do you need to be aware of?

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s take a breath and go have a look, shall we?

THE TRICKSTER

Let me be a reminder to be true to yourself, to your own personal truths, to the code within your soul. Truly, at this time it is essential for you to let your conscience be your guide, and to live according to your own creed, with open eyes.

Do not fool yourself into believing another person’s vision and ideas are more important than your own – question agendas, and be aware of people’s history.

For at this time, there is one about you who is attempting to persuade you to their cause, to join them in what they see is a great task, but which in truth is simply a harnessing of your power to their agenda, which is not for your highest good.

All tricksters are charming and know exactly what to say to persuade you – but this is mere language. Their deeds will not match their words, and what you are agreeing to by joining with them will be a loss of your own personal dreams for the furthering of theirs.

If you allow yourself to be coerced, cajoled, and manipulated at this time, it will weigh heavily on your very soul.

Be more wary than is natural for you at this time. Do not betray yourself, or ignore the warning signs, which are all about you. Do not foolishly give away your power, but exercise it, and weave a future that is truly the one you wish to create – one, which will provide you with honour, plenty, and the satisfaction of having been true to yourself.

FAERY GODMOTHER

When the Faery Godmother comes to you, be aware that this is a time when you will discover what has been long hidden to you – your true self will be revealed in surprising ways every day, and sudden moments of heightened perception will make this time especially significant for you.

People finally get found out, manipulators can be seen through, true costs of circumstances are revealed, and any lies about you will be seen.

This can be hard, but it is truly a hardship that is born of protection – you are safer for knowing in whom you can trust in order to make the right choices for your soul.

Throughout these revelations and insights will be a guiding hand – and this is the Faery Godmother. She is showing you what it is you need to know in order to create and foster a life that works for you – and she is a protective force too.

So what you need will come to you, sometimes in strange ways. Be mindful of counting your blessings at this time – for this is the energy your Faery Godmother can draw upon to keep transforming your life into one which is more abundant, magickal, meaningful, and joyful.

Note every moment of truth – they are all significant, and you are better for discovering what was once hidden from you.

INITIATE

Your energy is unworldly, naive and unguarded – and you will therefore soon face tests which will help you acquire experience and wisdom. You have an inclination to take risks without thinking of where the road you wish to dart down will lead you, you have a tendency to say and do many things without thinking through the possible impact.

You speak the uncomfortable truth as no other can.

The lessons you are experiencing are filling your life with richness – you have so much trust and self-belief, but you are not prideful.

You are ready to take great chances, and others may even judge you as being about to take crazy risks. You may be contemplating leaving a safe job, about to travel, enter a new relationship wholeheartedly, or make a move in life without having examined all the consequences.

You are curious, enquiring, and open hearted.

You are inquisitive, but you are no fool. You are an initiate, and you will therefore take risks as you face the unknown.

Your next steps into the mystery of life will be blessed, and you have the courage to now enter the unknown.

Hmmm, breathe in, breathe out. I don’t know about you but the guides picked these to help remember the light that surrounds you and is encouraging you to streeeeettttchh and grow, like the sprout coming from the glorious seed. Awaken gorgeous one. And if you feel inclined grab a copy of FI.

Keep cosy, laugh tons and make soup! (Always a good thing). Huge hugs and squeezes and see you next week.

Last Reading of 2025 and Blessings for The Holiday Season.

Jenny Heston · 3:03 pm ·

Happy Last Reading of 2025.

I think we can all agree it has been a year, and here we are amidst the holiday season prep and doing.

I do invite us all to remember that for some this season is most challenging, they may feel alone, have lost someone, feel overwhelmed or a myriad of other things.

As we just welcomed the Winter Solstice on Sunday, it opened the door into Winter for us.

And for those who asked if they can still join The Omen Days Jo urney, yes!

Our amazing Solstice gathering was recorded and we start on December 26th. So come join us all, it will change how you end the year!

I will keep the doors open until midnight of the 23rd. and then they close.

As I head into my Winter Break and walk the Omen Days Path.

This is a magical season full of transformation and deep internal work.

It may seem counterproductive to pause, rest, and reflect.

However, remember that your worth isn’t defined by what you’ve accomplished.

Slow down and be fully present in activities that truly bring you joy and pleasure. Before you know it, Spring will be here, so enjoy these quiet moments of rest and solitude.

So why not create a to-do list for this Winter holiday that captures your inner child.

What would you like to do to bring more holiday magic to the season?

With so many obligations during December, find time to slow down and read a book you enjoy.

With the longer nights and colder days, it’s a perfect time to snuggle up and relax.

Pick something purely for pleasure or a non-fiction book that can help you learn something new or change your perspective.

Spend time in reflection and creating the space for the next year (and no this is not a TO DO thing), that’s why we do The Omen Days (and yes, it doesn’t start until the 26th so you have time to join.)

This is about really looking at what nourishes your heart and soul at this time.

Yes, there are some family obligations, but if spending 2 hours with Uncle Mervin makes you want to pull your hair out, then only spend an hour – and have boundaries!

Okay enough of me chuntering as we all have stuff to do!

Let’s crack on with the reading. When I sat with all my lovely decks and asked who felt a strong urge to come support and guide us this week as we head into the dark and the shortest day I was tickled to see who hopped up.

The glorious guides who were adamant are the Sacred Destiny Oracle. 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. “

I seriously snorted tea out of my nose when they appeared. Why? Re-read the last two lines.

Okay darling one. Please take a moment to just relax. Don’t worry about if the lights look great, or how you are going to deal with Uncle Tony at the Xmas dinner. Just BE here NOW. Take a massive deep breath out first through an open mouth. Then allow your breathing to find its open delightful, rich rhythm and let your shoulders drop.

As we have just lit the third candle of Advent, Joy, the candle of the animal world.

Let me ask what does Joy feel like to you right now? Is it elusive or is it permeating your being.

Breathe.

If you want to play with Joy a bit more I have a guided visualisation for you.

Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that tug.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

STAYING FOCUSED

Be clear about where you are going. Do not compromise!

Follow your dreams; you deserve the best. Prioritise your life.

Once you decide on a direction, hold the course. Do not veer. Do what’s important, and release the rest. Place your intent and passion on one thing, rather than scattering in many directions,and you will be successful.

On the path, it’s easy for the traveler to be distracted by people, events, and even shiny objects. Do not take any side roads. Stay the course.

Keep going, no matter what emerges on your path that distracts you. It’s easy to get lost and forget where you’re heading. Recommit yourself to your destination.

What you focus on is what you create, so put your attention on what is worthwhile, beautiful, and inspiring.

Refrain from focusing on what’s not working: only focus on the direction you want to go.

MIRACLES

Just around the bend, a miracle is waiting to happen.

Release fear and uncertainty, and majestic wonders wait to unfold for you.

Watch for them and embrace them. Some come in an unlikely form. Trust that all is unfolding for your highest good. Expect miracles in your life.

What is expected tends to be realised. The more you become aware of the small marvels in your life, the more you will grow in magnitude. Celebrate and cherish them when they appear, no matter how small they may seem.

What others see as ordinary, you see as wondrous. Look at your life in a new way. Let go of fear and expectation, and allow the Goddess to solve your challenges in mysterious and wondrous ways.

Don’t limit the way you think miracles can appear in your life. All is well.

FARAWAY PLACES

Stop playing it safe.

Get ready for new horizons and change in your life. A journey is coming.

It might be to foreign lands or faraway places, or may be an inner shift that changes your destiny. It’s all beneficial. Sometimes we can feel wobbled when we are not in our normal surroundings, however, you are safe and protected. Good fortune ensues.

Part of the glory of travel is stepping out of old habits, routines, and the repetitiveness of everyday life. It can feel daunting, yet in no small way your life is a spiritual voyage. Change is coming. Things are not as they seem. There are no wrong turns; every adventure and missed-venture is part of the course.

You are on a pilgrimage of the soul. Keep your metaphorical bag packed; some unexpected experiences are ahead. Be ready for anything. The joy of travel is that you can begin to experience the everyday as if you are seeing it for the first time.

Nothing should be taken for granted.

Absolutely perfect! How did that feel for you? Wishing you a stupendous Holiday season. Remember to play for goodness sakes and don’t get caught up in what you think it “should look like”, sending you massive warm hugs, big gingerbread kisses and golden light! Talk to you in 2026.

How to Close 2025 with Ritual, Reflection and Deep Knowing.

Jenny Heston · 3:24 pm ·

Dear Gorgeous Soul,

Go on, make yourself a large cuppa of something warm and a little magickal, because we have so much to chat about this week. Are you ready? Settled? Cosy? Good. Let’s begin.

We are standing at a truly potent crossroads.

The very last New Moon of 2025 arrives this Friday, the 19th.

Solstice — which I friggin’ love — is racing toward us with her golden-dark mystery.

The Omen Days journey is open (and oh, I hope you’ll join us — it’s a genuine game-changer when it comes to putting a year to bed and consciously calling in the next… just ask the last 250 people who travelled it with us 😏).

Add in Personal Theme Readings, and the Book of Winter Solstice, which is my heartfelt Solstice gift to you for being such a magnificent bean, and well… you can feel how thick the magic is in the air.

So where do we begin?

I’m starting exactly where my bones insist we do — with The Omen Days, also known as the Sacred Days or Yuletide.

These luminous days stretch from Boxing Day through to January 6th. And yes, this is where the “12 Days of Christmas” comes from — a little cultural borrowing from something far older and wiser.

Historically, these days existed to bring the Roman calendar back into alignment with the solar year. Energetically, though, they are something far more delicious.

They are considered time out of time, a liminal pause where the usual rules soften and we slip between worlds. It’s as though we step outside the calendar altogether.

And if you pause for a moment, you’ll notice that our modern culture still feels this.

That strange, floaty stretch between Christmas and the New Year — when time feels bendy, when we’re neither fully here nor there, half dreaming and half emerging. That’s not accidental.

That’s the doorway.

This is where the real magic of closing a year happens. This is where 2025 is gently alchemised, and the seeds of 2026 are quietly planted.

This is why I created the Omen Days journey — a rich, nourishing experience filled with ritual, reflection, community, and warmth.

It’s an invitation to release the tired idea of New Year’s resolutions and instead close the year in a way you can actually feel — in your bones, your body, your cells.

One that stirs ancient memory and deep knowing. I would love for you to experience that.

Registration is open until December 22nd (and we also gather together for Solstice this coming weekend), and the timing could not be more perfect — because it flows straight into what’s happening in the sky.

The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19th is the final New Moon of 2025.

It’s believed that the heart of our Milky Way galaxy rests at 27 degrees of Sagittarius, and this New Moon activates 28 degrees — a cosmic threshold if ever there was one.

A powerful way to close the year.

New Moons are portals. They are invitations to turn inward, to recalibrate, to listen for new inspiration. Under a New Moon, insights arrive quietly, intentions take shape, and new directions begin to whisper.

With the Galactic Centre activated, the energy of this New Moon feels wide, expansive, and full of possibility. It reminds us that we are not stuck. We are not limited. We do not have to stay where we are if it no longer fits. We can simply lift our arrow… and aim it somewhere new.

So ask yourself gently: what is no longer yours to carry? What belongs in the ashes of 2025? What are you ready to release with compassion, forgiveness, and grace?

And then dream.

If you weren’t afraid — of failing or succeeding — if judgment vanished and you knew you’d be supported, where would your heart lead you?

Can you feel how this weaves straight into the Omen Days? How these energies invite you to close the year with intention, tenderness, and awareness — rather than rushing headlong into the next?

And yes, this is also where Personal Theme Readings come in.

I like to call them Opening the Doors to 2026. Rather than me waxing lyrical here (and testing your patience), you can wander over and see if one calls to you. Spaces are limited, so if you feel the nudge, listen.

Alright, beautiful one — that was a lot to receive, and I hope you felt it land rather than skim past.

Now… let’s crack on with the reading. ✨

Okay so when I asked my glorious giddy guides who they wanted to play with this week. I was a tad surprised!

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 with the holiday season rapidly approaching, and yet the place of Solstice. The longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

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 soft gentle rain drops or snowflakes.

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?

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!

FOGGY BOG

Patience

The fog in the forest is so dense, you can’t see your hands in front of your face. You take a step forward; the soil is soft and spongy. You realise that you are standing in a bog and to go forward is to risk sinking deeper into the mud.

The best strategy is to be still and wait for the fog to lift.

Be quiet and still. The time is not right to go forward now.

It’s hard to see what lies ahead, and the truth of things may not be as they initially appear. Events that seem one way may, in fact, be completely different.

Just as the egret exhibits great patience as he waits for a fish to emerge, so too must you be still and allow the truth to emerge. In this state of obscured visibility, your imagination can surge forward and spark your intuition.

If you can wait long enough, your sixth sense will be ignited. Listen to your inner yearnings and pay attention to those seemingly random thoughts.

Water represents emotions, feelings, and the subconscious. When the water becomes condensed as fog, it obscures the true shape of things. We can’t see clearly the way we can in the light.

Don’t allow unexamined emotions to overwhelm your growth.

Have patience. Wait until the fog lifts before taking action. The truth will emerge in time; you just need to go deeper.

Follow your intuition.

GUARDIANS OF THE LAND

Protection

“You are safe.” These words seem to emerge from the land and radiate from the trees to echo in your soul. You hear these words again and again.

The Sacred Guardians of the Land are whispering to you, “You are safe.”

You know that you are protected and cared for. You can feel tendrils of their loving energy wrap around you and embrace you. Their unleashed power cocoons you in safety.

You are enough, just as you are. No matter what has happened or occurred in the past, the truth is that you are absolutely and unconditionally enough as you are.

You are loved. You are cherished.

Do not be concerned about outside forces and the judgements and expectations of others. You are protected in your own energy field. Envision a protective shield around yourself and around your home. Spend time with people and in situations that uplift your energy rather than draining it.

You are safe and surrounded by a glorious protective shield. You are not alone; your life is guided and protected by higher forces.

Within this knowing-ness you can soar to great heights. Breathe wee one. Trust.

Oh my giddy aunt! Those glorious beasts were delicious. How did they resonate for you?

So darling one, wishing you a week of ease, grace and flow. Don’t get tangled in any one else’s stuff, tinsel or lights. If it resonates for you to come join Omen Days – please do. If you want to find out your Personal Theme, please do. If you just want to be left the fuck alone and celebrate Solstice as you like – grab the Winter Solstice book.

See you next week.

What Does Peace Mean as We Spiral Toward Solstice?

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

How are you, truly? How did that Gemini Full Moon land in your body and your bones?

We’ve just moved through a windswept lunar peak — a dispersing, airy brightness that asked us to pause, listen, and gather ourselves before the final descent into the dark. We’re now in the waning half of the lunar cycle and the waning arc of the solar year, and both luminaries are whispering the same thing:
A long, slow exhale.

A softening into sacred wintering.

And this — this Sacred Wintering — is exactly why we walk the path of the Omen Days. Many of you have been eagerly asking about it, and I had hoped to release everything today. But with two sick adults and a sick toddler in my care, the universe had other plans.

So here’s the update:
The full Omen Days teaching, the signup page, and all you need to know will be arriving mid-week.

And alongside it?
The glorious Book of Winter — fondly known as Soul Season — will also be released.
She is rich, magical, layered, and ready to hold you through this deep and luminous time of year.

Quite a few of you reached out over the last week saying you felt scattered, overwhelmed, or completely “out of sorts.” A few even used the word “fucked”—and honestly, I felt that too. My own energy ricocheted from panic to anger to anxiety to “everyone leave me alone” to “wait, maybe don’t leave me entirely alone.” It was bizarre, disorienting, and very Mercury-meets-Gemini-in-the-dark-season coded.

Then, on the night of the Full Moon, I did the forgiveness ritual from Soul Season, and the peace that came flooding in was divine. Nourishing. Resetting.

The kind of peace that feels like your soul finally unclenches.

Which got me thinking about Peace itself. Not the fluffy, surface-level version, but the real, embodied, sensory experience. There’s a beautiful children’s book by Vladimir Radunsky where kids from around the world describe what peace feels like. Their answers are everything:

What does peace smell like?
Peace smells like a bouquet of flowers in a happy family’s living room, or pizza fresh from the oven.

What does peace look like?
It looks like a cat and a dog curled up together, or the soft glow of newborn babies.

What does peace sound like?
It sounds like a silent day. Raindrops falling. No bad words.

What does peace taste like?
It tastes like vanilla ice cream… or your favourite food times two.

What does peace feel like?
It feels like the hug you get when you cry. Someone stroking your back. A tiny shiver, but the good kind.

Kids tell the truth adults forget.

Seasonally, this past week aligned with the lighting of the Advent candle of Peace — connected to the plant realm: the roots, the stems, the leaves, the quiet green life that nourishes and heals us. I love this reminder: Peace is not theoretical. It’s embodied. It grows.

And of course, this all leads us directly toward Winter Solstice — my beloved threshold of the year. Solstice is that exquisite moment when the old cycle exhales and the new one inhales. I can feel it weeks ahead, humming under everything, asking us to reflect, to return inward, to listen.

This is the season that naturally brings forward the big questions:
Am I showing up the way I’m called to? Am I living the life that wants to live through me?

As Autumn falls away and Winter rises, we enter the realm of descent — emotion returning to form, water returning to earth, light sinking lower and lower. It’s the most inward, yin part of the year, even though our outer world demands noise, speed, and performance.

But your body knows better. It wants to rest. To replenish. To create slowly. To imagine softly. To hold Peace and Hope like warm stones in your pockets as you walk deeper into the dark.

So let me ask again, from the heart of this seasonal turning:
What does Peace mean to you?
And how can you carry it with you into Solstice?

Okay, with all that being said (sometimes I do chunter on!), let’s crack on with the reading.

Okay gorgeous one, settle into your body, breathe yourself back. As you gently slow down your breathing I invite you to bring up the sensation of Peace (whatever that means to you) and allow it to swirl in your mind’s eye. If you need a bit more support with Peace there’s a lovely little guided visualisation for you. Then, when you’re ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to go see?

BATH KOL

Eschew complicated explanations, as you seek the simplicity of the deepest truth of your heart. Gently but firmly cast aside that which does not resonate as being true for your heart. Focus upon, and speak from, a higher spiritual perspective. All prayers are answered at the perfect time and in the perfect way. You have a powerful voice, which can foster healing wisdom on our planet.

Bath Kol is a mysterious creature. She is an angel known as the divine oracle, the daughter of the divine voice, the pure and true sound of spirit. When she whispers to your heart, you feel it as an inner knowing, a truth. To honour that inner knowing likely requires the confrontation of fear or moving in unexpected directions.

Even so, the deep resonance of her truth is more powerful than the resistance we may initially feel as we let go of our limited perspectives and allow ourselves to be guided by Spirit.

Often an inner spiritual call requires a leap of faith. A more authentic, awakened you is coming to life. Paving the way for the higher self to manifest typically means that fear and control based approaches need to be surrendered. Honouring Bath Kols guidance requires courage but brings rich reward on many levels.

Acknowledge your true voice. This may be the voice in your own heart which needs to be heard without judgement or censorship. It may be an intuitive inner knowing to be recognised. It may be a loving and helpful voice of a reliable guide or friend whom you know can be trusted. It may be a teaching from a dream or an insight from a meditation, or even an inkling that certain happenings or sightings are signs from the Universe to help you on your life path.

Practise your power of discernment. Filter ego from heart. If a point of view lowers your vibration, makes you feel negatively about yourself or another, increases your confusion or makes matters seem more complicated, it is likely to be an ego-driven viewpoint. To consider what you might be able to learn from that viewpoint, you need to settle yourself on more authentic spiritual ground.

DVARA PATRA

Out of confusion, a clear and progressive pathway is opening up for you. It is an auspicious time to give generously of yourself to others, enriching the quality of your connections, expressing spiritual blessings of goodwill and encouragement from your heart. A powerful blessing is entering your world. A prayer is now being answered in a beautiful way. Spirit gives freely and generously of all the goods things, and the task of humanity is to learn how to receive. The key to receiving is an open, surrendered, generous and trusting heart.

The Holy Grail is the sacred chalice. It is a powerful, living, regenerative and deeply healing symbol of hope and blessing. It will interact with each soul in its own way. For your soul, that may involve a recognition that the light is always seeking you, wanting to fill and heal and bless and protect you, to initiate you into awareness of the realms of light, beauty and divine presence.

It may remind your heart to receive, that you are capable of being a channel for goodness, grace, abundance and pure light. It may be recognised as a sign of a future blessing, of something truly desired finally coming to pass.

The sacred grail is hope; it is a blessing. It is both a portent of fulfilment and the inner means by which we connect with the loving language of light and truly receive. In Sanskrit, patra means ‘goblet’ or ‘vessel.’ In learning how to receive, we also learn how to be received, how to be fully beheld, which is an expression of unconditional love. The sacred chalice reminds us of our potential to hold, but also for the generosity of the Universe in providing for us so we, too, can be held and receive all we need.

Dvara is Sanskrit for a pathway, an opening or portal, a doorway or even a means or method. Your deepest fulfilment is via the receptive faculty of the sacred feminine. The feminine way is organic, creative, responsive, spontaneous and effective. It is not constrained by our human perceptions of what is or is not possible.

To honour and empower the sacred feminine genius in our lives requires a considerable shift away from mainstream, conditioning and into spiritual surrender. Allowing her method, rather than blocking her loving creativity in our lives, entails the movement from head to heart.

As you invert your priorities from ego to soul, you’ll invert your locus of orientation from head to heart, from outer to inner reality. You will trust what your heart knows, whether or not it makes sense to your logical mind – or to anyone else’s for that matter.

YOGINI OF 285 Hz

Changes in your life, including closing doors or missed opportunities are not going to derail your fulfilment. Realignments are happening based on divine wisdom and timing. You are being diverted from unnecessary obstacles and suffering. Trust in how your life path is unfolding. Stay true to your authentic healing journey, because it is working, whether you realise that or not. Significant inner healing is taking place.

In numerous spiritual traditions of the East, such as those from Nepal, Tibet and India , the yogini is a female spiritual adept, a practitioner of deep yoga that awakens a powerful connection with one’s real inner being. The yogini holds space for healing and enlightenment, moving through obstacles and challenges with wisdom, patience, commitment and often great joy.

She is our spiritual sister, our sacred friend and our guide away from the bleak, erroneous thinking of ego into the softened, awakened, relaxed, gracious way of Spirit.

My darling you are on a powerful healing journey to connect body, mind and soul with the truth of your spiritual nature. You are working at an inner level to let go of past pains and open up to your empowerment and grace, dignity and legitimacy in the present moment. There is a spiritual approach to heal any and all struggles in your life.

If you feel disoriented or conflicted about a choice, trust that this chaos is a consequence of a cosmic realignment with your life path. Move through it with trust in your heart, patience and a willingness to keep the faith, knowing you will eventually find your way. The adjustments taking place within you will affect your outer world.

Just like the tumultuous alchemical journey of the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, your inner transformation shall shape you and your world into the beautiful, inspired, and authentic form it is meant to be.

And stay tuned, Gorgeous Soul — this mid-week brings the unveiling of Omen Days, the signup page, and your invitation into the radiant practice of winter divination.

Plus the release of Soul Season — the Book of Winter that has been waiting so patiently to meet you.

Let’s walk this descent with intention.
Let’s make it sacred.

Wishing you a glorious week of Peace my darling. Take a nice long slow deep breath!

When the World Screams “Buy!”… I Choose Blessed and Unbothered.

Jenny Heston · 2:02 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

December stepped in this morning with its quiet frost and instinctive hush, yet everywhere I turn, I’m met with a blizzard of flashing ads, shrill notifications, glossy promotions, and digital cajoling. Black Friday. Cyber Monday. Limited Offer. Last Chance.

The whole spectacle feels like an overcaffeinated carnival shouting into the marrow of my bones. I value prudence with money — of course — but this frantic devotion to “stuff-for-the-sake-of-stuff” makes my spirit recoil.

The clangour, the manufactured urgency, the relentless chorus of Buy now, buy fast, buy more — set against the trembling state of the world — feels entirely counter to the soul of this season.

You feel it too, don’t you?

That subtle trembling of your nervous system whispering, enough — enough scrolling, enough grasping, enough noise.

In these past weeks, I found myself caught in the undertow of “shoulds.” The invisible insistence to acquire, prepare, produce, impress. It felt like standing in a wind tunnel of expectations that were never mine to begin with.

Thus, through our family’s “birthday season” — that lively stretch from September to now — I decided to refuse the rote ritual of obligatory gifts. Instead, we crafted experiences together. One for each of the horde.

A dazzling West End London show — When God Was a Scottish Drag Queen — that left us breathless with laughter.
A decadent spa afternoon where we soaked our feet while seals tumbled through silvered waves.
A wildfire-fun improv night with two SNL greats that left us gasping.
A pottery session where clay-flecked hands shaped mugs and memories.
And this weekend — a family Celtic knot tattoo, ink looping our stories into skin.

This, to me, is the marrow of the season — a call toward slowness, toward gentleness, toward presence.

Yet everywhere around us the world hollers, “Hurry!”

With Winter Solstice drifting near, we stand at the cusp of the year’s deepest darkness — a liminal passage asking us to rest, rekindle our inner ember, and reacquaint ourselves with the softer rooms of our own being.

But here’s the quiet truth: most of us were never taught how to do that.

We were conditioned to barrel through winter. To dismiss the fatigue. To keep producing, performing, persevering. To pretend we’re fine even when our inner world is begging for a moment of stillness.

But our spirits yearn for something else — something tender, unhurried, unadorned.

Which is why Omen Days will return this year. (More on that next week.) The Omen Days offer a gentle, deep, restorative way for closing the year with grace, intention, and a glimpse into what 2026 is weaving.

And yes — I’ll be hosting a Solstice gathering to help us cross the threshold of the longest night with reverence and warmth.

On December 4th, we welcome the luminous Cold Moon.

This moon arrives like a lantern in the frost — aligned with Yuletide, humming with old magic.

Its teaching is ancient: rest, renewal, the quiet promise of beginnings wrapped inside endings. It marks the culmination of our journey around the sun, encouraging us to pause, to breathe, to soften.

It may feel counterintuitive to slow down when the world is screaming for speed, but remember: your worth has never lived inside your productivity.

Let the Cold Moon be your invitation to hibernate a little — to occupy your moments with presence, delight, and the small things that make your heart glow.

This is a season thick with transformation, inner excavation, and the sacred alchemy of becoming. A time to recharge, reconnect, and return to yourself and the ones you love.

Do you see how beautifully it all interlaces?

You are not separate from the seasons.

**You are the season — unfolding, deepening, shifting — just as nature does.**

So I am so tickled to see new guides wanting to come and chat with you this week. These gorgeous guides invite you to find out –What your soul wants you to know.

Okay my darling one, take a breath. Envision you are standing out in the dark, the brisk cold wind hits your cheeks and you light a candle. The flame flickers and dances with the night sky behind it. As you gaze at the flame, take a breath and allow yourself to rest and relax. Listen to the whispers of your Soul.

Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that make your Soul tickle.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s see what your Soul wants to share with you……

SIMPLICITY

Do what matters; and release the rest to find peace, grace and stillness.

Clear all the internal and external clutter!

Your soul wants you to know, one of the fastest ways to align with the tranquil vibration of the Creator/Creatrix/Divine – whatever name you use – is through simplicity.

A busy life and the accumulation of more than you need creates static; it can be difficult to hear the voice of Spirit when there’s mental chaos in your life.

Create time to rest and rejuvenate. Clear the clutter in your home, the files in your computer, and the drawers at work. (And I can see you rolling your eyes!)

Even a small amount of this cleansing can make an immense difference.

Create a feeling of simplicity, and know the grace of the Divine.

Repeat to yourself: Deep, Profound Serenity is Expanding in My Life.

PASSION

Follow your bliss! (Yeah I know you have heard that before, but……. It’s true).

Discover what you absolutely love to do or be, and then, like an arrow directed at its target, don’t let anything stop you from fulfilling your passion!

Your soul wants you to know – If you’re having difficulty discovering what you’re passionate about, go back into your childhood and remember what gave you joy then.

If you loved to dance as a child, sign up for a movement class. Better yet, put on music and dance your soxs off in the living room to your Soul’s delight.

If you adored crayons, pull out those colours and splash their bright hues from one side of the page to the other.

If you enjoyed observing insects in your backyard, maybe sign up for a nature study course.

Once you are clear on what you are passionate about, do whatever it takes to follow that – don’t wait until it’s too late.

Many people declare that they will follow their bliss when they retire or have extra time, and consequently they never experience the absolute exuberance of life.

If not now when? Live your life with passion! What are you waiting for?

Repeat to yourself: I passionately accept and love myself!

SILENCE

Can you be still and take the time to move into the silent place within yourself? That place which is your internal power source?

Your soul wants you to know – The world is super loud and often at the end of the day you flop into bed with all sorts swimming in your head. In silence you’ll find your sacred witness. It’s the dwelling place of your Soul.

Your Spirit loves the truth, and in peace you can seek and discover your truth.

If you are in pain, go into it until you find the source so it can be healed. Move past the bustle and chatter of life into sweet quietude, and surrender to stillness. Resist the temptation to indulge in feelings of overwhelm, urgency, and emergency.

Your power is born in silence.

Seek solitude to listen to the voice of your higher self and awaken your inner wisdom; this peace gives birth to your serenity.

Repeat to yourself – I am Serene, No Matter what is occurring around me.

Gorgeous one, allow yourself to move a bit more gently with yourself. Keep your eyes peeled for The Omen Days, you will love it and the Solstice gathering. Sending you massive hugs and warm soxs and tea!
