Happy, happy, Miraculous, Magickal, Merry, Moody, Manifesting May Monday!

Thanks for all the emails saying “Jenn, why wasn’t there a reading last week?”  

There wasn’t a reading as that weekend was a long weekend here in Canada, and it was filled with celebrations!

On Saturday, I had the honour, privilege and delight of officiating a wedding ceremony with an amazing couple that I had been working with for 4 months co-creating a wedding ceremony that really reflected who they were, and what was important to them.  We had the ocean behind us, the trees around us, the friends and family gathered, wild flowers galore and the weather was stupendous.

Then on Sunday I hosted an amazing English Country Garden picnic in a meadow filled with wildflowers to celebrate the mothership’s 94th birthday!  There were tea sandwiches galore, china cups, a glorious cake, song and family and friends.  

So it was a full on weekend to say the least, doing what I love – which is facilitating meaningful moments and marking occassions with ritual!

However, here we are with the last Monday of May happening.  Mercury retrograde is almost finished,  we are closing the eclipse portal and Summer Solstice is coming!  

I love Summer Solstice as it’s filled with power, passion, fire energy and one of the 3 spirit nights where the Fae come out to play.  I’m just finishing up the amazing Summer Solstice guide, which will be available next week, along with a glorious guided visualisation.  

Yet, I’m playing with the name.  

What do you think she should be called?  I’m open to suggestions.  

So as we put May to bed (and I know for a lot of you it has been a long and challenging month), what with Mercury retrograde, Pluto retrograde, the world being chaotic and eclipse season – we end it with a New Moon in Gemini today!  (May 30th).  

Don’t panic – this is a very gentle new moon that has some different invitations for you.  

As Forever shares – “So today, May 30, 2022, the Gemini New Moon closes the Eclipse Portal, bringing an end to Eclipse Season.

Eclipse season is always a highly transformative time. Whatever manifested, Eclipses always put us where we need to be – even if it doesn’t quite feel like it at first! 

While this fresh energy from the Gemini New Moon will be welcomed, there is some mentally foggy energy stirring at this time, cautioning us to move slowly and be patient. While we may feel some ease as we settle on new ground, the Universe is asking us to take it easy.

Being a Gemini New Moon, Gemini is represented by the twins. One twin is mortal, and the other is immortal, reminding us of these two sides of our being.

We all have a body, and we all have a soul, and it is often when they are working together that we feel our best.

Bringing harmony to our body and soul is an energy current that this Gemini New Moon can help us with.

If you want to bring more harmony between these two sides of your being, write down what your human side feels and what your soul side feels, and then set an intention to bring healing and unison to both of these sides. Trust that the Universe will help you build a bridge that both your human and soul side can walk towards.”

After the heavy energies of Eclipse Season, the Gemini New Moon will feel much quieter and should bring a softening.

While this New Moon won’t bring total clarity, it does remind us to be patient, to move slowly, and to focus on the gentler and more subtle aspects of our healing journey.

If life is still feeling hectic after the Eclipse transformations, know that this New Moon brings a reminder that it is ok to take your time to process, digest, and reflect.  After all, we still have Mercury retrograde until June 3rd.  

It’s time for some extra self-care under this New Moon which could involve embracing herbal remedies and teas. Sip on some chamomile, spray your pillow with lavender, and just keep things gentle, quiet, and soft.  

You can cleanse your home with citrus fragrances.  Detox the stale energy from your dwelling with citrus (the essence of Mercury).  Not only will it refresh your home, but it’ll boost your personal vibration as well.

The best activity to do during this lunation is nothing.  A lovely gentle ritual for this time is the Moon Bowl.  Set your New Moon wishes, be gentle with yourself and find your calm centre. 

Oh and if you want a wee one line mantra/affirmation based on your astrological sign for this New Moon energy, I’ve got you covered.

Okay, enough chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading.  The cards that wiggled and jiggled to guide this week are the glorious Sacred Destiny Oracle, guides. 

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. “

Note the line –  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. 

Perfect guides for this time, as nature nurtures and heals and holds us with love and compassion.  

So darling one, take a moment.  Let the shoulders drop, let the jaw relax and just gently close your eyes and breath.  And I mean breath, in through the nose, open up the belly and out through the mouth with a sigh.  Imagine nature holding you, supporting you, delighting you.  Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper.

If you would like to go a bit deeper, come into the magickal garden with me.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

WONDERS

Quartz

Natural rock crystals – clear, amethyst, citrine, rose, and smoky – were revered in ancient times.  The Aborigines of Australia called it maban, which was the material through which their shamans and elders gained their magical powers.  

The Egyptians believed quartz had mystical healing abilities and would bury their dead with a piece of crystal on their forehead.

The Greeks and Romans believed crystals were solid ice that had been formed by the gods and thus had mystical powers.  Even to the present day, people believe that crystals can help manifest their intentions. 

Perhaps that is because of the piezoelectric qualities of quartz – the reason why quartz can amplify radio signals.

Like the wondrous crystals – just around the corner, exciting possibilities are waiting for you.  

Wonders will be abounding in your life!  Sometimes they won’t be apparent at first; nevertheless, they are there.  The more you see them and embrace them, the more these possibilities will grow in magnitude.

Celebrate and cherish even the smaller ones, no matter how tiny they may seem.  Let go of expectations.  Don’t limit the way that you think that wondrous events could appear in your life.  Be open.

If you believe, anything and everything is possible.

SUCCESS

The Jungle

Tropical jungles are some of the richest and most successful habitats on our planet.  They have incredible diversity – a multitude of plant varieties and animal inhabitants.  

They are dense with life-force that is rapidly growing and rapidly changing.  The lushness of their vegetation is essential to the ecological health of the earth.  

In many ways, the success of the planet depends on the rain forest.  These areas are called the “lungs of the planet”.  The plants absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen and help reduce the impact of worldwide climate change.

What does this mean for you?

Like the rich jungle teeming with wonders, miracles and life –  satisfaction, contentment, and fulfilment are at hand.  Success is waiting to expand in your life.  Be ready to accept and embrace this success, for it might occur rapidly.

All is possible.

The gates of triumph are waiting to open.  Being in a state of gratitude for all the small successes in your life will give birth to larger ones.  Your satisfaction will come in many forms and from many areas of life.

Celebrate it all and breathe it all in, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.  

This is an excellent time to make commitments, sign contracts, and make deals.

Good fortune will ensue.

TRUTH

Song of the Wind

Wind is the realm of the air elements, one of the four elements of life (air, water, fire, and earth).

Air takes form in the oxygen we breathe as well as in breezes and zephyrs. 

It also represents our communication skills.  When we speak, it is the air that passes through our mouths that allows us to speak and communicate.

Wind is also prana, the source of life.  As you communicate your truth to yourself and others, you’ll find new energy and vitality emerging within your life.

The wind is asking you to be honest with yourself and speak from your heart.  

Find your truth.  Listen for what is sincere and honest in others.  

One of the most difficult things to know is what’s true for you and what isn’t.  

Sometimes it takes sincere silence to find your inner voice of truth, but once you find it, let go of anything in your life that isn’t authentic.

Share your truth with others.  Release relationships in which you can’t be yourself and can’t be real.

Being genuine, aligned and authentic can allow your spirit to fly and the song of your soul to be heard in the Universe.  

Beautiful!  So gorgeous, lovely, may your week be blessed, may you be gentle with yourself and practice self care.  Keep your eyes peeled for the amazing Summer Solstice guide (name suggestions welcome), and there may be a glorious Summer Solstice reading special coming up – we are perking it.  Big blessings and massive hugs.

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.

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.

Remember: building community, your village, whatev Remember: building community, your village, whatever you want to call, takes work. 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.

Thank you @debrabochinski for embodying this. ♥️

🔥🌞 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.
