Weekly Reading April 24th and nearly New Moon!

Jenny Heston · 3:02 pm ·

Happy, happy delicious Monday and so good to be back!  Quite a few of you were delightfully delicious and emailed me at the beginning of last week saying – “Help!  I have missed your reading, what has happened?”  I really appreciated that, and as I said in the reading of April 10th I was taking time on Easter weekend to connect with my wonderful family and just play.  Which is exactly what I did.  We hiked, explored the woods, had a 2 km egg hunt, made glorious food, napped and just relished the relaxed time together, it was frigging awesome!  I hope you too had a glorious Easter weekend and found time to relax, laugh and didn’t eat too much chocolate (I have to say I didn’t eat any this year!!)

So here we are and it’s nearly New Moon (which happens on April 26th)!  Whoot!  I love planting my seeds of intention and desire at New Moon.  It’s a glorious way to remind myself what I am really choosing to manifest, be, do and have in my life as I believe it is important to embody one’s intentions and desires.  For example, if one of my desires was to feel more “present and centred”, then it is up to me to do something towards that, such as making time daily to meditate, go walk in the woods, write, paint, dance or just watch a ridonculous movie that makes me laugh out loud.  So setting my intentions and New Moon wishes are great for keeping me on track and accountable, in a quirky way.  If you need to know more on how to harness this great energy, then pop on over here.  So even though we have had tons of rain, I figure that is perfect for planting seeds, yes?

Okay, let’s crack on.  Remember, as always I highly encourage you to take a brief chunk of time for yourself and just get relaxed, breathe into your belly and be willing to be open. If you would like a short little visualisation to help you tap into that delightful energy of centred willingness and being open to receive I have you covered on that!

Ready to pick?  Breathe, trust yourself and be open, or at least – be willing to be open……

Shall we go see who would like to work with you this week?

COME TO LIFE

You are the most sacred of all sacred artworks.  You are bringing yourself to life now and this is how it must be.  Of course something being essential doesn’t mean it will always be easy.  You must support yourself and have courage during this process.  Your monkey mind is not to run the show.  It might have a lot to say and at times it seems very convincing, but it is not the one in charge.  Your mind can inspire you with ideas.  However, it is the real you that speaks through your rebellious sacred heart and is living your life, not the monkey mind.  The mind is not much more than a swirling cacophony of habitual reactions.  

Coming to life means feeling.  It might bring joy but it could equally bring sadness, rage or fear.  It could bring all of these and more.  Feelings will come and go quite swiftly when allowed to flow.  You might need to paint, write, enact ritual, sing or dance your feelings to help the energy flow.  Don’t hold back.  Create the space for yourself to do it.  In this process you are uncovering the artistry of the universal creator.  The message you are being given is “BE ALIVE”!  Don’t imagine you can go back to sleep.  You are too awake for that now.  There is no falling back into old ways.  If you do so, it will be short lived and won’t feel the same as it used to.

You may grieve this.  You will certainly (eventually) celebrate it.  You have crossed the threshold from an old way of being in an old life and try as you might, you cannot return.  It is better to let it go.  There is another adventure awaiting you now.  You need a deeper connection to your own instincts, body, feelings and intuition so that you can receive this new calling.  You can trust in it, too.  Embrace it and it will embrace you.

NEW BIRTH, GUARDED VIGILANTLY

In every creative process, in every birth, in every opening of a new cycle of life, there is a time of vulnerability.  This vulnerability is natural and appropriate.  It is the foal learning to become steady on its legs  Those legs will become remarkably powerful in time, but the process of growth and maturity has to take place, and that requires some wobbly first attempts.  It cannot be any other way.

Within you, there is fresh new life emerging like a vibrant green shoot rising up from the earth.  This new life is in need of your attention and your care.  This could be a new relationship that needs tending with interest and kindness.  It could be a new idea that you need to nurture into fullness, because it is going to hold special purpose for your life path.  You will not always need to cloak that which is young.  Soon enough it will be able to stand up for itself, but for now, your vigilance and care is most certainly required.  

Hug your ideas to yourself as though they were a new lover you cannot bear to share with another.  In time the world will be the lover receiving the love in your idea.  For now, it is for you to love, for you to hold and for you to observe.  Keep your sanctuary pure, this may be your room, a sacred place you visit, your own body, into which you retreat in relaxation or meditation.  Sometimes you will find that others have taken up residence in your sanctuary.  It is time to focus on the purity, light, love and compassion that dwells within you.  Everything else will come and go, and that is just fine.  But the purity within your sanctuary is eternal.  Firmly denounce any intrusion upon the new  life by doubt, fear or sabotage.

CONSCIOUS CONNECTIONS

There is a call for more intimacy in your immediate relationships.  There is an opening for heart to heart communication that can salvage and restore a broken relationship or friendship, if you are willing to honour your differences and look to what unites you.   We are not here to judge each other, just to love, to be loved, and to let go of those that cannot accept us as we open up to those who can.  It may or may not be obvious at first but kindred spirits are going to enter your life to help you connect with your deeper feelings and creativity.  They will give wings to your inspirational ideas and big dreams.  

Sometimes webs that have joined people together are broken and that is appropriate as people may outgrow what once held them together. Sometimes the ties that bind us together are so strong that they are able to withstand a great deal of pressure and still remain intact.  The webs of connection between us will sever or sustain, based on the higher wisdom of life itself.  Either way, healing happens in the resolution of our feelings and we are once again able to feel free, forgive and be ready to move on to the next stage of relating either with a person who has been in connection with us for a time, or with someone new.

Remain open to healing connections and to allow people to be close to you.  Trust in the process that draws people in and out of your life.  Resist nothing and seek wisdom in all.

So remember to set your seeds of intention and desire at the New Moon.  Also, do please remember to make some time to relax, play and allow your inner essence to burble away and swirl up with glorious ideas.  Oh yes, and for all of you who ask about the crystals – this week we have Angelite, Moonstone and Sodalite.  See you next week!

The first Monday of March! Weekly Reading for March 6th.

Jenny Heston · 4:08 pm ·

Happy first Monday in March!  I keep telling myself Spring is coming, Spring is coming!  (Albeit, with snow every day for the last 3, it doesn’t feel much like it).  However, I think even the birds are aware it’s coming as every afternoon around 4ish I get serenaded by a delightful “crowcophany”.  It’s as if every crow in the area comes flying in, chattering away and then roosts in the large cluster of cedar trees behind me.  As they settle their noise changes from a caw, to a hilarious kind of plunking sound.  Have you ever heard it?  It’s quite good fun, it makes me giggle.  It’s as if the crows are telling each other jokes and then laughing.  

The crystals that wanted to come play this week are black snowflake obsidian, angelite and mookite, all with very different energies and meanings, and of course Selenite which is a fabulous amplifier.  As I was preparing for this reading a phrase from A Course in Miracles came to me:  “Would you be hostage to the Ego or host to God?”  In other words, Littleness and Magnitude are the choices open to your striving and your vigilance.  You will always chose one at the expense of the other.  The Ego represents littleness, taking the easy way out, giving over to overwhelm, trying to be like the other 80% and holding onto your past.  I would never wish Littleness for you, instead I would invite you to be host to God and celebrate your magnitude, your purpose, your passion and how scrumptiously gorgeous you are.  So with that in mind are you willing to come on a little explore, possible adventure?  I promise there will be no sharp objects to bump up against, let’s go play, I’ve created a fun little visualisation for you.  

https://www.jennyheston.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/magnitude.m4a

So with your magnitude whirling around you, take a breathe and pick a card.

Ready to go see?

SHOCK OF THE NEW

What wild unconventional voice is calling to you?  Can you hear it?  It is so different so unusual, it might be hard to decipher – like hearing an unfamiliar language for the first time.  It might be hard to discern with great clarity now but there is an affinity between you and this strangely beautiful newness seeking to manifest.

There is a stirring at the deepest level within you.  Something new will break through and the process of this birth may be a shock to you.  The shock will transform into great joy and a sense of tremendous liberation, but you must bear the strangeness first.  That strangeness might be something that rattles your beliefs about yourself and your world, daring you to become more of yourself, more open to where life is leading you and more willing to be the unique sacred art being crafted by the hand of the universal creator.  This is life creating the stage upon which you will experience greater fulfillment.  Don’t reject it, no matter how small or insignificant, or how powerful and life-changing it may seem to be.  

You are being asked to dispense with your reliance on the past and what have been your tools to navigate life.  You have outgrown your old methods. You will have to fly by the seat of your pants, so to speak, as you experiment with new ways to be.  Life will show you the way.

IN THE WORLD, NOT OF THE WORLD

It is safe for you to become naked with life.  This doesn’t necessarily mean stripping off and running wild in public.  It does mean stripping back your beliefs, strongholds and mental or emotional security blankets so that you can live with less obstruction than ever  before.  Imagine the conditioning that has kept life away from you, just kept it dropping out of your hands like keys, coins or clocks.  Conditioned beliefs about money, time, security, having, locking away, holding and controlling can be surrendered and allowed to fall away.  What would it be like to feel as though you were on holiday every day?

Sometimes we need our defences.  At other times, it is clear we are outgrowing them.  There is something that you have outgrown.  It has to do with your ideas about productivity, time, control and money.  It has to do with abundance, trust and living with the fundamental belief that everything is going to turn out okay.  You are ready to be much more vulnerable and exposed in life.  You don’t have to hide behind being organised, perfect, in control or financially secure and stable.

Likewise, you are being stripped of internal beliefs that are failing you, perhaps externally as well.  Whether this seems to be your choice or not, make no mistake, it is your own spirit in cahoots with the loving spirit of life that has brought this situation about.  You are being guided to trust!

SEEING THE TRUE YOU

Sometimes we believe what others tell us we are, as though the self we see reflected back to us through their eyes is truth.  You have been putting rather too much faith in the reflections others have of you – to the point that you might not be honouring all that you are and all that you are becoming, because you believe too little of yourself.

You are to begin to develop the art of direct perception.  This is the ability to recognise yourself not only in the eyes of others, but from how you feel about yourself, how you experience yourself and how you observe yourself (with compassion and kindness) from within.  This is a step towards a radical empowerment that does not require perfection in order for you to recognise you are loveable and have much to offer.  It is empowerment based on the acceptance of all that you are.  

If you are getting confused about who you are and your motives or actions based on what others are saying or how they are responding to you, step back.  In your quest to be a responsible person, you may be unintentionally taking on the feelings of others, making their reflections of you more than they are in truth.  More often than not reflections are more about the state of the reflector than what is being reflected.  Let those external perceptions go.  Can you just acknowledge yourself?  Do so and be free!

Wishing you a glorious week.  Remember to step into and celebrate your magnitude at every opportunity, the world needs you!  Magnitude is available in an instant.  Believe that you are.  Believe you can handle it.  Believe you are not alone.  Huge hugs and if I could make the plunking sound of a crow I would, to remind you to laugh!

We’re done with power over people, power over women, power over the planet. We’re here for matriarchal ways rooted in care, respect, shared power and community. And we’re a wee bit tired of being told how to behave, how to look and how to be women in this world!! So here’s our sisterly response… with love, laughter and a little Scottish sass! 😉

A wee note: We’re a group of Canadian sisters and one beautiful U.S. sister exploring Scotland together. Some of us have Scottish roots, and all of us brought a little wyld spirit! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The trees are loosening their grip, Gorgeous Soul. The trees are loosening their grip, Gorgeous Soul. What are you ready to release? 🍂

Sitting in a glorious pile of leaves, I pulled October’s card: Unfurl the Wings of Forgiveness.

Accountability and compassion. The courage to own your part, the tenderness to forgive yourself, and boundaries that honour both.

There’s autumn magick in this invitation—and a little delicious mischief, too.

It’s easy to think of yourself as a good man. The It’s easy to think of yourself as a good man. The harder question is: who are you when it’s just you and the boys?

When the joke crosses the line.
When the group chat turns ugly.
When a woman is being degraded.
When you know something is wrong.

Do you speak up, even if it costs you your place in the group?

Because women cannot be in every room asking men to respect us.

Men have to demand it from each other.

So I’m asking men: when was the last time you called out another man?

Don’t just teach your sons not to hurt women. Teach them not to stand silently beside men who do.
Summer is letting go. 🍂 Can you feel it? The lig Summer is letting go. 🍂

Can you feel it?

The light has changed. The evenings are arriving earlier. Leaves are turning, birds are gathering and Nature is beginning that slow, delicious turn inward.

Then on September 26th comes the Harvest Full Moon. 🌕

And maybe she’s not asking:

What’s next?

Maybe she’s asking:

What is already ripe?

What has quietly grown in you this season?

What are you ready to gather?

And what might you finally be ready to let fall?

I’ve written a new Harvest Moon piece through my Seasonal Lens, with journal prompts and one of my favourite slightly ridiculous rituals.

It involves bubbles.

Of course it bloody does. 😂🫧

For one delicious moment, we stand at the threshold between seasons.

Before rushing into autumn, what if you stopped long enough to look back?

At the summer you actually lived.
At what surprised you.
What challenged you.
What delighted you.
What quietly grew while you were busy doing other things.

You don’t need a perfect harvest.

You only need to recognise what is already in your hands.

perhaps we should notice who arrived here. 🍎

Today is exactly one week before my birthday, I to Today is exactly one week before my birthday, I took a leap and received a “channelled” tattoo.

Was I sceptical? Abso-frigging-lutely. I wouldn’t even see the design until two hours before my appointment.

Then the image arrived—and I fell completely in love.

An apple, lavender, chamomile, rosemary, hare’s-foot fern and glorious Amanita mushrooms, all woven together beneath the stars and the sweep of the Milky Way.

Every piece holds meaning. Together, they form a tiny wild universe—a botanical talisman of nature, healing, memory, resilience, cosmic wonder and a wee bit of Fae mischief.

And now it rests above my heart, exactly where it belongs.

@inkspired_.tattoo.studio , you are an extraordinary human. This was so much more than a tattoo—it was a soulful, intentional experience and the perfect birthday gift.

A little wild.
A little witchy.
A little cosmic.
A little Fae.
And entirely me. 🍎🌿🍄✨
