Ritual

Ritual of Release

Jenny Heston · 5:01 pm ·

Another way to honour the ancestors at Samhain is to pay respects to everything in your past that has led you to this place, physically and metaphorically, spiritually and emotionally.

Take a handful of dry leaves, or incense with charcoal bricks, along with a fireproof bowl (unless you have a hearth or wood burner) and some matches.

Extinguish all the lights in your household and spend a few moments sitting in silence, in darkness.

Open the windows to let in the night and feel the breath of the underworld around you, the raven wings of the goddess as crone, the Cailleach upon your cheek.

Hold the leaves, and using your imagination, pour all the deaths you have felt over the year, all sorrow, pain, anything negative, into them.

Face the darkness, not as something to fear, but as an ancient friend that you have met many times before.

Then when you are ready, light a single candle and feel the brightness that this brings.

Throw the leaves or incense, into your bowl or onto the fire, and watch them burn.

Relight every candle in your home from the flames. 

For more rituals, crystal magick and kitchen witchery – treat yourself to The Magickal Book of Samhain.

Blessings.

New Moon Bowl Ritual

Jenny Heston · 6:02 pm ·

Hello gorgeous one, welcome to the New Moon Bowl Ritual.

Is it challenging?  Is it expensive? Do you need to go buy a shed ton of stuff?  Heck No! All it requires is a bowl you like, 14 little rocks and your intention.

Now with regards to these 14 rocks, they don’t have to be crystals, or blessed by a guru.  These little rocks can be from the beach, the park, a gravelled yard – it doesn’t matter, it’s all about the intention you set with them.  Mine are from the beach and they are different sizes and different colours.  

So a brief recap.  The New Moon sets the energy for the month, in otherwords until the next New Moon.  So this is delicious strong energy that waxes and wanes to support you in what you want to attract more of, manifest or create in your life.  

Have you ever done New Moon Wishes before?  If you haven’t, I have a quick and dirty guide on how to write your 10 New Moon Wishes.  My suggestion to you is to read it, write your Wishes and then look for a theme throughout all of them, and there will be one. Now what do I mean by a theme?  If you review your wishes and they are all related to money for example, that is a theme. If they are related to attracting love into your life – theme. If they are about having more ease, support in your life – theme.  

So if it were money for example that you had mainly written about then that could be encapsulated as “I easily and attract more wealth and abundance into my life from known and unknown sources.”   

On the New Moon, write your wishes out, find the theme, come up with your intention statement (such as the example above that embodies your theme for you).  Then every day from New Moon to Full Moon, and I highly suggest in the morning if that works for you, take one of your rocks, say your intention outloud and put the rock in the bowl. Now you may be asking “Why?”

As the New Moon blooms she waxes until the Full Moon, in other words she gets bigger and stronger.  So every day you see your intention, as you put a rock in the bowl getting stronger and coming into existence for you.  Then as the moon hits her glorious fullness you start to take a rock out of the bowl each morning and see your intention being brought into being and ready to harvest.  Does that make sense?

But Jenn why can’t I just write my New Moon wishes down?  You most certainly can of course!  However, often I see people write them down and then within two days they have forgotten what they were.  Thus, this lovely Ritual takes the theme of your New Moon wishes and makes it physical and a daily practice.  And if you remember:-  ritual takes an idea, thought or emotion and gives it a physical form in the world.  ritual allows your body, your cells, you essence to understand your intention.

I highly invite you to try it because it is a delicious ritual and really ramps up the energy of your intention.   Let me know how this works for you, try it for 2 months straight.

I would also love to hear what type of rocks you picked and which bowl! 

Enjoy.

Apparently, I’ve harvested a whole bushel of laven Apparently, I’ve harvested a whole bushel of lavender—and the bees would like to speak to management. 🐝😤

After some tense garden negotiations, I assured them I wasn’t taking it all. Now let the lavender-induced faery shenanigans begin: wands, baskets, bath bags, sachets, oils, salts, sugars, jelly and all manner of fragrant magick! 💜🌿

The bees still have plenty.

They also appear to have unionized.

🌙✨ Plot twist... The Cancer New Moon isn’t asking 🌙✨ Plot twist...

The Cancer New Moon isn’t asking you to become a shinier, better, more productive version of yourself.

She’s asking you to remember who you were before you became so ridiculously good at accommodating everyone else.

This week, the lesson found me in the glitter and glorious heart of Kinky Boots, in the rainbow magic of Pride, on a football pitch where fierce competition and deep compassion stood side by side... and finally beneath a moon that quietly whispered,

“Come home.”

Home to your heart.

Home to your intuition.

Home to the wildly beautiful, slightly witchy, gloriously imperfect soul you’ve been all along.

I’ve woven it all together in this week’s New Moon post, along with a deliciously simple ritual to help you release what no longer fits and remember the shape of your truest self.

🌿 Grab a cuppa.
🕯️ Light a candle.
🌙 Then click the link in my bio and come home.

Because, delicious lovely... the world doesn’t need another watered-down version of you.

It needs YOU. 💙

They burned herbalists as witches for three centur They burned herbalists as witches for three centuries and called it heresy. They called it medicine without a license before licenses existed, devil worship. The Malleus Maleficarum specifically targeted women who healed because it worked without the church.

The institutions that lit the pyres built pharmaceutical companies. Aspirin is willow bark, morphine is poppy, digoxin is foxglove, Taxol is Pacific yew, and Metformin is French lilac.

She was killed for giving it to you for free while he was awarded a patent for putting it in a capsule.

The word “pharmacy” comes from the Greek pharmakeia and it means sorcery.

Receipts: Malleus Maleficarum (1487). Aspirin derived from Salix alba (willow bark), Bayer 1899. Digoxin from Digitalis purpurea, first described by William Withering 1785. Taxol from Taxus brevifolia, NCI 1967. Metformin from Galega officinalis. Pharmakeia: Strong’s Greek 5331.

Because at some point in midlife something shifts. Because at some point in midlife something shifts. And it’s not that we become mean or difficult or hard to be around.

It’s that we spent decades shrinking ourselves to fit into spaces that were never designed for us.
Softening our words so nobody felt uncomfortable. Swallowing our opinions to keep the peace. Apologizing for taking up space. Managing everyone else’s feelings while completely abandoning our own.

And then perimenopause shows up and strips away every single fuck we had left to give. 😤

And suddenly we can see it so clearly.
How much energy we wasted.
How much of ourselves we gave away.
How long we managed everyone else’s comfort at the expense of our own sanity.
That’s not meanness babe. That’s awakening.

Midlife isn’t turning us into difficult women.
It’s turning us into honest ones.
Women who finally value their own peace enough to stop performing comfort for people who never once worried about ours.

And I will never apologize for that.
Not even a little bit. 😇

If you have officially entered your “not my problem anymore” era drop a 🙋‍♀️ below because we are exactly where we are supposed to be. 💛
⚽🌕 Plot twist... Football and the Full Moon have m ⚽🌕 Plot twist... Football and the Full Moon have more in common than you think.

They’re both about momentum.

They’re both about passion.

And sometimes... they’re both about that one magical moment that changes everything.

As June blows the final whistle, the Full Moon is asking a simple question...

What are you ready to change?

Not because you’re broken.

Not because you’ve failed.

But because you’ve grown.

I’ve pulled three cards for this final reading of June, and one of them is quietly calling your name. 👀✨

Will it be the message you need to hear before stepping into July?

There’s only one way to find out...

🌕 Pick your card.
⚽ Trust your intuition.
✨ Let Spirit surprise you.

LINK IN BIO 💚

And when you’ve watched... come back and tell me which card chose you. I absolutely love hearing your stories.

Every culture that ever looked at the sky knew thi Every culture that ever looked at the sky knew this day mattered.

The Norse lit bonfires so large they could be seen from the next village. The Celts called it the Light of the Shore and believed the veil thinned in blazing light instead of darkness. The Slavs jumped over fires to seal their bonds. The Romans made June sacred for weddings.

🌞Litha is an old English word meaning gentle, navigable. The time when the sea was calm enough to sail.

Beneath all the names, all the traditions, all the fires one truth:

The sun is at its peak. Everything is fully illuminated. 

Even the parts of yourself you usually keep in shadow.

It takes vulnerability in putting yourself out there and also receiving. Building intergenerational community takes time, effort, and consistency. Don’t get discouraged get intentional.

🔥🌞 Oi, gorgeous soul... your Inner Fire called. I 🔥🌞 Oi, gorgeous soul... your Inner Fire called.

It would like a word.

Summer Solstice is almost here and the Sun is strutting around at full power, reminding you that you weren’t born to play small, dim your light or tuck your dreams away in a dusty cupboard marked “maybe one day.”

This is your invitation to celebrate how far you’ve come, reconnect with what truly matters and ask yourself:

✨ What wants to grow?
✨ What wants to be illuminated?
✨ What am I ready to say YES to?

To help you work with this powerful Solstice energy, I’ve released my gloriously magical 40+ page Summer Solstice Guide (affectionately known as SASS because every witchy soul needs a little more SASS).

And after a lovely natter with my guides, I’ve also opened two special readings:

🔥 Your Solstice Light
🔥 The Fire Within

Just 21 reading spaces are available and, lovely one, these will be the last special readings I’ll be offering for a while as the weekly readings take a pause and I step into some deeper magic behind the scenes.

The portal is open.

The Sun is blazing.

The Faeries are probably causing trouble.

All that’s missing is you.
