Celebration

At the Heart of the Year: Summer Solstice, SASS & The Fire Within!

Dearest Gentle Reader,

Have you noticed how quickly we arrived here?

One moment we were setting intentions beneath January skies and now we find ourselves standing at the very heart of the year. Halfway through 2026. Halfway through the dreams, detours, surprises, lessons and unexpected adventures that have shaped your journey so far.

Before we rush headlong into the second half of the year, I want to invite you to pause for a moment. Take a breath. No, really. A proper deep breath.

Life isn’t happening next week. It isn’t waiting at the bottom of your to-do list, and it certainly isn’t hiding in some mythical future where everything is finally sorted out. Life is happening right here, in this moment, and this moment only.

Adding to the magic of the month, we had a New Moon in Gemini on June 14th. Gemini is curious, playful and always asking questions. It encourages us to explore possibilities, look at things from a different perspective and remain open to what wants to emerge next.

Then, on June 21st, Summer Solstice—also known as Litha—arrives.

The longest day of the year.

The season of illumination.

The moment when the Sun stands in the fullness of its power and the world is drenched in light.

And the fire in you wants to burn with the Sun. To light up and beam out as far as humanly possible.

And why not?

Now you may be thinking to yourself, “Jenny, I haven’t the foggiest idea what you’re talking about or how to work with all this energy.”

Not a problem, gorgeous one. I’ve got you covered.

In fact, there are two beautiful ways you can journey with the energy of Summer Solstice this year.

The first is the Stupendously Abundant Summer Solstice Guide, fondly referred to as SASS because honestly, who doesn’t need a little more SASS in their life? This beautifully crafted 40+ page guide is packed with rituals, spells, stories, crystal work, journal prompts, seasonal wisdom, a glorious guided visualisation and enough Summer Solstice magic to help you reconnect with your own inner fire.

And if you’d like something a little more personal, after a lovely natter with my guides we’ve opened two special Summer Solstice readings: Your Solstice Light and The Fire Within.

There will be just 21 spaces available between now and the end of June for these Solstice offerings.

And a little heads-up, gorgeous one.

These will be the last special readings I’ll be offering for a while.

As many of you know, these weekly readings have been a beloved part of our journey together for a very long time. At the end of June they’ll be taking a pause while I step into some deeper work that has been calling to me for quite some time.

I’m not disappearing, not by a long shot. In fact, quite the opposite.

The work is deepening, the conversations are deepening, and the magic is deepening too.

Just as the Wheel turns after Summer Solstice and gently invites us inward, I find myself being called into a season of creating, listening, learning and tending what wants to emerge next.

There are whispers of new offerings, deeper teachings and fresh ways of working that are beginning to take shape, although they are not quite ready to step into the light just yet.

Truthfully, I’m not entirely sure what the next chapter looks like, but Summer Solstice has always been about trusting the light enough to take the next step, even when you can’t yet see the entire path stretching out before you.

So if you’ve been feeling the nudge to book a reading, this Solstice portal may be the perfect opportunity.

Think of it as a beautiful pause between chapters as we discover what wants to be written next.

Now before I tell you more about those offerings, let’s talk about why Summer Solstice has been celebrated for thousands of years.

Thematically, this celebration is about power, strength, illumination, confidence, energy, joy, self-acknowledgement and, of course, glorious Faerie revels.

It is a time to celebrate how far you’ve come and to reflect upon the growth that has brought you here.

This is the moment in our year when the greatest amount of light is available to us. Spiritually speaking, it is often when we can see ourselves most clearly. The Sun represents consciousness, awareness and the life force that animates all things.

At Summer Solstice, a doorway in time opens.

Our ancestors knew this.

For thousands of years they gathered around sacred fires, honoured the land, offered gratitude and marked this powerful turning of the Wheel. They understood that this was a sacred threshold, a moment suspended between what has been and what is yet to come.

Litha is a grand portal of energy, possibility and opportunity. A chance to release fears, doubts and insecurities. A chance to remember who you are and step forward in faith.

Yet there is another piece to this story.

After the Sun reaches its greatest power, it begins its slow descent. Little by little the nights begin to lengthen and the Wheel starts turning toward autumn’s harvest and winter’s rest.

Which makes this moment especially precious.

Summer Solstice is one of the last great energetic doorways of the year to activate sacred intentions before we begin moving inward once more. It is an opportunity to dream expansively and ask yourself what wants to grow, what is calling for your attention and what vision will sustain you as the darkness slowly returns.

And this is precisely why I created SASS and why my guides were so insistent about opening these readings.

Because just like the Sun, you have your own Inner Fire.

Your Inner Fire is the fierce, powerful, badass part of you. The part that keeps showing up. The part that dares to dream. The part that believes there might be something more. The part that is willing to do the sacred work of bringing those dreams into reality.

In the same way that crops cannot flourish without the Sun, your life cannot flourish without tending the flame within.

So let’s honour it. Let’s feed it.

Let’s ignite it so you can beam like the glorious beastie you are.

Okay, enough chuntering from me. Let’s crack on with the reading, shall we?

These beautiful Faeries have stepped forward to share their wisdom as we move toward Summer Solstice. So place your hand upon your heart, take a glorious deep breath and when you’re ready choose the card—or cards—that call to you.

Did you remember to pick? Excellent!

Let’s go take a little look-see, shall we?

HUMMINGBIRD DREAMS

The Smallest

Even those who seem the least to us have their dreams. The tiniest and the weakest have their place in the Universe just as we do. They have a special job that only they can do, a place that only they can fill. There is no one being that is more important or more worthy than another, regardless of the form in which they choose to express themselves in life.

We marvel at the tiniest hummingbird. How can it move its wings so rapidly that it can hover in one spot and then fly off in a split second? What strength and agility it has. What diving form! It’s hard to believe that something so tiny can bring so much beauty and wonder.

If you are feeling small and insignificant, remember your uniqueness. The only shoes you have to fill are your own and they fit you just fine!

There are no insignificant people, none who are less whole than another. Eliminate prejudices and judgements whether cast upon yourself or another. If you feel that someone is not up to your standards, then realise that is what you are projecting upon them.

Change your perception and see them truly as they are…a reflection of the Divine, just as you are.

Spirit expresses through us all in its own way. It’s not for us to second-guess.

If you are feeling less than whole, remember your divine birth and take comfort in knowing that you are divinely perfect. Pursue your dreams and know that you are divinely guided. Have faith in your dreams and your abilities.

I am a unique being.

There is no other like me.

My purpose is my own to fulfil.

No one else can do this.

Spirit expresses through me,

In a way that only I can give expression.

My gifts to the world are mine alone to give.

I am in divine harmony with all life.

So be it!

Take time to notice the smallest things today.

ALWAYS

Infinity

Let’s speak of Infinity. To truly understand life, you must understand that you have always been…and always will be. You are part of the Divine Source that rules the Universe. Your spirit and your soul are immortal.

As the physical body passes from existence your energy body survives, eventually to move back to join with the Spirit. You are always connected to the Source.

You are the vehicle through which the Divine Spirit manifests on Earth.

Understand your divinity and your importance on Earth.

You may have a wish for a special person in your life who will promise to always be there for you.

First, you must always be there for yourself!

Perhaps in the past those who should have stuck by you did not. Those you thought were true were not. Release old pain and habit patterns and allow your highest good to manifest in your life.

Express your gratitude!

This primes the pump for a real lasting relationship and do please remember the elementals that are helping you along the way.

Their devotion to you is infinite and unwavering.

I ever was,

I always will be.

I am Infinity.

My soul reaches out far beyond this shell,

Within me Spirit has a place to dwell.

I am.

So be it!

Play a song that lights you up over and over again.

LIGHTING THE WAY

Illumination

We all wish for guidance and help along the way, yet sometimes guidance comes from within. When we connect to the energy of Spirit that resides within each of us, we see clearly what we are to do. Reach for the stars!

Allow that communication with Spirit to connect you to your highest good.

Connecting to Spirit is as easy as recognising that you are already one with the Universal Power. Strengthen your trust in your Divinity.

Ultimately, you are to be the one who shows others the way. You hold the light for them as they climb the path of illumination.

In order to do so you must continue your own journey in learning and refining your own truth. It is only through example that we can change our world, one person at a time. But if enough people hold the light, in enough places, we can bring about change at a much more advanced rate.

This glorious faery holds the lantern for all to see, so that anyone who wishes to climb the path can better see the footholds and avoid the pitfalls. She has reached the highest peak. Her face shows that she takes her job seriously.

Guidance can come in many forms…the words of a friend or loved one, or of a professional counselor. Guidance can come from a book or a stranger’s words.

Listen to what information comes your way, then sit with it and meditate on it. You will get a sense as to whether it is valid for you or not, if you are open and willing to hear your truth. You may be destined to teach or counsel others.

Each step of my journey is illuminated and sure.

I move with trust and confidence.

I welcome the chance to light the way for others.

I hold the light high.

So be it!

Light a candle for someone today!

Woosah! What glorious guides for this time – whoot, whoot! Remember to be present, remember to treasure yourself as the gorgeous gift you are and remember to ignite your Inner Fire at Solstice. And if it resonates for you to go deeper, pick up a copy of SASS, or take one of the 21 spots so we can get personal – or both!

Big love and squeezes.

Beltane is Almost Here so Welcome in the Fae and the first Eclipse of 2022!

Jenny Heston · 9:12 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Manifesting, Majestic, Mesmerising, Mysterious, Memorable Monday! How are you on this glorious day?

So good to be back! It feels like it has been forever since we last connected, but in fact it has only been two weeks! How was your Easter? Did you get out and play, hunt for choccie eggs and do something fun? I hope so!

Our Global Healing Circle was amazing, we raised funds that were donated to the Ukraine and the glorious emails sharing your Spirit Animal Guide and Heart Crystal descriptions were amazing. Thank you to all who participated. If you would like access to the amazing guided visualisation that was created for that special day, and can be activated at any time. You can still access it Here.

Before we chat about the upcoming Eclipse, let’s talk about Beltane, which occurs on May 1st.

I love Beltane, I love it because it is fiery, passionate, intentional and produces results! I especially love it as it’s the time when the veil between this Earth and the Fae is exceptionally thin. So Magick abounds, and to help you tap into this amazing energy I have a FREE GIFT for you (read on)!

Beltane is thought to be one of the more important festivals of the Gaelic calendar. Beltane is a Fire Festival. The word ‘Beltane’ originates from the Celtic God ‘Bel’, meaning ‘the bright one’ and the Gaelic word ‘teine’ meaning fire. Together they make ‘Bright Fire’, or ‘Goodly Fire’ and traditionally bonfires were lit to honour the Sun and encourage the support of Bel and the Sun’s light to nurture the emerging future harvest and protect the community.

Beltane is the halfway point between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice, making it easy to see why Beltane is typically associated with creativity, prosperity, hope, fertility, and sexuality.

The Beltane fires of yore were a time of revelry, pairing and celebrating fertility (there were lots of babies born 9 months after the celebrations!) Also, cattle would be led between two fires for protection and to encourage a strong, fertile herd. Holy wells were visited and feasts were had. Rowan was often used in Beltane festivals as it’s a tree of protection and healing. Branches of Rowan were placed as protection over the doors of houses and barns at Beltane to protect from increased Faery activity as they woke from their winter slumber. (As they can be rather cheeky!)

Sprigs were worn for protection also. Rowan berries have a tiny five-pointed star on the bottom reminiscent of the pentagram.

So all in all a great time to celebrate, set intentions, fertilise either self or ideas and have a grand jolly time and invite the Fae to support you!

This is where your wonderful Free Gift of the Beautiful Beltane Book will guide you, support you and inspire you to deepen into this rich potent energy.

Think about those wee seeds of intention that you planted at Spring Equinox, they are starting to push their way up towards the sun.

But I guess the question some people have is – “Why bother marking the day?” Good question, and my answer would be because it connects you to something bigger, older and deeper than our modern day to day.

I love the way Donna Henes puts it:- Ceremonial observance adds lucid layers — depth, dimension, drama and distinction — to our lives, making the ordinary seem special, and the special, extraordinary. Through the practice of ritual we are privileged to experience ourselves as prepared, present, passionate, principled and potent. When we set aside the quality time and claim the psychic space for ceremony, when we assume the authority to do so, we are able to transform our perceptions, our perspectives, our experiences, and in the process, our reality.

When we live in alignment with the seasons, our souls unfurl and flourish. We are more connected to our intuition, our magick, each other and the earth.

We walk a sacred path everyday.

Which totally ties in with the Eclipse on the Taurus New Moon the day before!

“On April 30th, the Moon will Eclipse the Sun giving us the first Solar Eclipse of the year.

Solar Eclipses always fall on a New Moon, and while this is only a Partial Solar Eclipse, it is still ultra-potent and carries the weight of a hundred New Moons!

New Moons always represent new beginnings, so this Eclipse is likely to open doors, open windows, and draw entirely new paths for us in the cosmic skies.

The keyword for this April Solar Eclipse is opportunity, so if there is something you want, this is your cosmic invitation to connect with your heart’s desire and see what flies in.

While New Moons are typically powerful moments in the month for manifestation work, under a Solar Eclipse it is actually better to go with the flow and trust what the Universe brings our way.

Eclipses activate our soul contract and tend to bring fated events that help us get to the next chapter of our spiritual evolution.

Eclipses can always take us by surprise, but it is worthwhile remembering that they always put us where we need to be, even if it doesn’t feel like it at first! In fact, Eclipses can accelerate our timeline, bringing forward things that were ultimately inevitable. Things can happen quickly under an Eclipse!”

So are you paying attention? Do you see all this potential energy to work with?

To support you with all of this I am gifting you the glorious Beautiful Beltane Book (fondly referred to as BBB), filled with lore, rituals and ways for you to embrace this glorious energy.

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading! When I went and asked which cards wanted to come out. The cards that wiggled and jiggled to come and guide this week are the glorious Isis Oracle.

Have you ever asked who Isis is? Goddess of the Skies, Magick and Wisdom are just a few of the titles she is given. Let me take a moment to introduce you to this lovely deck – “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening. Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world. When a Soul is growing in power and strength, it can benefit from guidance to help make the path into a new way of being in the world that much easier. Isis offers Her wisdom and guidance to you to assist you at this time of spiritual growth and transition. She loves you, and wants you to shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.”

Okay, take a moment to come back into your body, allow your shoulders to nestle down your spine and just breathe long and deep. When you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

PORTAL OF LIGHT

She Glides on Wings through Time and Space.

It is only this physical reality that is bound by time and space. You are a being who is conscious on levels beyond the physical world. You are guided to work with your healing powers beyond the confines of time and space and to allow your sense of Self to expand. It is safe for you to do this now. You will not become ungrounded through such spiritual growth. You are not leaving your earthly awareness, you are instead adding to it.

You are growing in power and awareness. You have had breakthrough insights where you realise that you are not who you thought you were, you are in fact a much vaster being. Sometimes this was shocking and uncomfortable, and difficult to accept. At other times it was gentle and made much sense to you. You are learning to integrate this awareness of your vast Self into your life. The practical consequences of doing so are extraordinary – to live with less and less fear and insecurity, to become more detached and more passionate, more loving and less demanding, to need less and receive more, to feel more joy and exert less force to attain it…..Such wonderful gifts await you!

Isis guides you to powers and abilities to heal that are beyond time and space. It starts with the realisation that what has happened in the past has power over you only to the extent that you allow it. The portal of light is being opened to you now to travel through time and space to release the past, to open up to a bright future and to call for more power in the present moment.

SCALES OF BALANCE

Ancient Tantra of the Soul

You are in the process of sacred relationship healing of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminineenergies within your own Soul. This is the advanced spiritual path of Tantra. It is the connection of the body and Soul. The effect of this inner divine relationship healing is genuine enlightenment of the mind and the body. The body becomes a living sacred temple of light, energy and wild aliveness. This embodiment can be experienced in movement, in deep stillness, in vitality and in quietness.

You are a Tantrika, a sacred priest/priestess of the Tantric arts. Some people mistakenly believe that Tantra is simply about sexuality, but it is in truth the journey of the Soul to bring masculine and feminine polarities into wholeness, love, unity and empowerment – to learn to be the enlightened path in every element of your being. This is Soul-building work that is in great service to the spiritual healing and evolution of humanity, which is a deep need of those such as yourself.

You are guided to accept this healing through learning to balance the masculine and feminine energies within yourself and your relationships with others. Balancing give and take, directing and flowing, play and solitude are ways to do this now. Learning to feel as comfortable as possiblewith your sexual and spiritual nature, seeing how they can complement rather than compete with each other is helpful too. Connection with the body is the most powerful form of healing for the feminine energy as it holds the secrets to Divine Feminine wisdom.

You are encouraged to explore Divine Maculine and Feminine healing with yourself specifically at this time. This may involve forgiveness of past relationships with significant males or females in your life. It may also require an adjustment of softening to allow in feminine wisdom, or cutting out some distraction or draining situations that minimise your sense of your own power and capacity.

MAGICK AND RITUAL

Crafting Sacred Practice

Effects in the external world can be created through inner practice. Magick and Ritual can support your Divine Path now in the physical world and you are encouraged to enhance your power with regular practice. The results that you experience will encourage you to continue with the practice as you grow in power, grace, love, ability and wisdom, and apply your inner beauty to transform your outer world.

For us to grow empowered and potent on the Path of Ancient Feminine Power we need to honour our knowing and being and cultivate sacred practice. Sacred practice becomes the habit of growing our spiritual power and consciousness. Like a garden needing regular care and watering to blossom and flourish, our inner garden of the Soul, where our creativity, joy, spiritual gifts and bliss bubble away, also needs regular attention. Coming to our practice takes strength and inner will – even though it can feel amazing, we still have to wake up, set aside time and discipline ourselves to show up for our own inner growth. We will reap the benefits when we do, but we must allow ourselves to fall in love with our practice, to craft something that really speaks to us, so that we want to do it. The desire and the discipline together help us engage with our practice regularly and we can grow so fast it can be quite shocking!

You have great power and wisdom within you, but you need to provide channels for it to flow and be active and empowered in your physical life. Sacred Practice is such a channel. Without these channels, the ego is left to create on its own which is not much fun at all! The ego believes in fear and separation and no matter how much it may want to feel love, bliss, connection, joy and fulfilment, it really cannot do it without your spiritual presence in life. Ritual and Magick, as a form of sacred practice, are recommended for you as a way to bring more spiritual presence into your waking life, to heal and support the ego as you learn to create a life that feels better and brings you and others more fulfilment.

What a delicious reading! Talk about the perfect energies to go along with Beltane, magick and the fiery passion! Don’t forget to receive your Beautiful Beltane Book. Wishing you a stupendous, fertile, abundant week filled with flowers, song, and laughter. Huge hugs and squeezes! See you next week!

Faeries, Gnome Shortage and It’s Time to Choose………

Jenny Heston · 10:50 pm ·

Happy, happy Magickal, Miraculous, Magnificent, Musical, Majestic, Mighty, May Monday! How was your Beltane? Mine was Miraculous! (Ha, I slid another M in there).

Thank you for all the lovely messages about the Beautiful Beltane Book that was my gift to you. It was wonderful hearing the rituals you tried, the way you marked the day and the fact that quite a few of you had never done so before was even better!!!

I spent my day holding space for an amazing Creatrix Circle Beltane gathering (which was glorious fun!) Then out to the woods to do a Tree Blessing (such a lovely ritual to do) and then for the first time in my life I created a Faery garden! It seemed like the perfect day to do such an activity as Beltane is when the veil is thin between us and the Fey.

Oh my Goddess I had so much fun! Hauling rocks for the walls and then filling the glorious bed with delicious fresh soil. The garden has a glorious funky bright pink faery door with a wee little Narnia like lamp post next to it, surrounded by moss. There’s a stone pathway that leads from the door to a Standing Stone Circle. A fabulous ornate teapot in the garden which will either become a Faery cafe or a Faery School for Magick and Mischief. Antique tea cups filled with wee sedums, driftwood, shells and colourful flowers that the faeries will love (as well as the bees and the flutterby’s). Earth, Air, Fire and Water elements felt important to have. So for Fire there are wee tiny faery lights wending throughout so that at night everything sparkles and invites.

I felt like a wee one creating a magickal space and it was so much fun! Now to add to it when I find something that calls to me on my yomps with Danu! (Yes, I am that woman with pockets of shells, rocks, feathers and cool pieces of driftwood!) Lol.

As I sat out in the dark watching the lights twinkle amongst the ivy and throughout the garden I felt fully content and filled with joy. I got out one of my antique teacups and poured some good white wine into it and grabbed some fat raspberries and took them out to place in the garden as a welcome and as an offering to the Fae.

Sunday morning when I went to take Danu out the teacup was neatly sitting by the bottom of my back stairs. WTF? Empty and tidy. Um. An animal wouldn’t have neatly placed the teacup by my stairs and if a human had wandered into the garden Danu would have known. Sweet! I think the offering and the space were accepted!

So now I have a glorious project to keep puttering away at, thus, if you have any fun ideas for the faeries I would love to hear them. They seem to have more specific needs than Gnomes.

Speaking of Gnomes, when Covid first hit and we went into lockdown most of my friends were shopping like mad fiends online. Buying all sorts of random things, yet there wasn’t anything I really needed nor wanted. Until I saw the most amazing Gnome!

I have NEVER EVER been a Gnome garden ornament type of gal, but this lovely chap holding out a flower to catch the water in spoke to my heart and made me smile. So confession time, over the last year I have acquired 8 amazing, lovely gnomes that are scattered in amongst the herbs, the veggies and hanging out in planters. Yup, gnomes.

Thus when I heard an article on the news a few weeks ago about there being a Gnome shortage I laughed my soxs off! A gnome shortage – is that even possible? Well, it turns out that I wasn’t the only one with a wee bit of a Gnome fetish and with more people gardening, Gnomes were snapped up lickety split and hustled off to new homes. And apparently, with a ship blocking the Suez Canal not even the raw materials could be brought in to make them! (Who would have thunk it!)

So my advice to you, is if you have a Gnome in your garden keep a close eye on him!

With May here, the energy has shifted and we are being invited into the realm of It’s Time to Choose. To explain this Lena shares this with us – As we approach a major point of transition with the Full Moon and total lunar eclipse at the end of the month, we are being challenged to question, reflect, release, choose and commit to personal authenticity and the path of essence. This challenge invites us to choose and choose well. The choices require leaving behind old outdated beliefs, conditioning, suffering, addictions and other limiting behaviors. This is it. It’s time to choose. Who are you? Who are you not?

Sometimes it is easier to react to who you are not rather than searching for who you are. We have been imprinted and conditioned by a set of collective patterns that have greatly influenced our identities. The recent disruption in routines and behaviors has given us a chance to re-examine what is important to us, what we resonate with and what we no longer wish to blindly put up with. With the coming transition and change in vibration on the planet (identified by the Toltecs as the shift from the 5th sun to the 6th sun), we have the opportunity to reset ourselves by choosing wisely to follow our hearts, to be guided by essence, and to live our lives in greater balance, harmony and authentic self-expression.

This month is about choosing your path. Will you choose a path that includes suffering and bad habits? Or will you choose the path of spirit always moving towards the vibration of love, hope and beauty? There is no redemption in suffering. It is time to look through the veil of illusion and reach through it to the other side and into a new landscape of endless possibilities. We are at the choice point and your choices this month will carry a potency that will influence who you are, what you do, where you are and with whom.

Ahhhhh, delicious words as we always have a choice – even when we forget that we do. So what are you going to choose?

Okay, enough chuntering on. Let’s crack on with the reading! So when I asked who wanted to come and share this week I nearly wet myself laughing! The glorious guides of The Oracle of the Dragonfae were most adamant (I mean most adamant!) (You seriously can’t make this shit up!)

Now if these guides are new to you, let me introduce them (as that’s the polite thing to do). Feel their love. Know your power….the Dragonfae are our flesh and soul kin, our friends, our guardians and our allies. When we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life. These guides are the magickal and mystical that weave through the threads of every day, they are the Dragonfae, Gods and Goddesses who dwelt in dimensional lands….Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu, they are Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin and others – fully alive and filled with magick! They are the deliciously magickal beings that have always been there, we just forgot, and when we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life on this beautiful green and blue planet, known by some as Gaia, by others as Dana, and by many other names.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to participate made me smile. Amethyst – is a powerful and protective stone. It guards against psychic attack, transmuting the energy into love and protecting the wearer from all types of harm, including geopathic or electromagnetic stress and ill wishes from others. Amethyst is a natural tranquiliser. Citrine – has the nickname of “The Merchants Stone”, as it’s most certainly involved with money, manifestation and marvellousness! Last but not least, Pyrite – Like a trusted bodyguard, Pyrite is great for the third chakra, enhances will power and helps overcome anxiety. A fabulous rebalancer and manifestation stone.

Gorgeous sprigs of Lemon Balm grabbed at me as I came in to write. Lemon Balm holds the magic of quiet, steady trust. So with all that being said, let’s go explore.

Take a moment to just BE. Breathe a lovely exhale out and then allow a deep gorgeous belly breath in. Invite into your minds eye a glorious meadow filled with wee daisies and wildflowers, each flower holds magick and invites you to make a choice. A choice that supports and nourishes you. Breathe until you are ready to pick.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go meet your guides.

LADY OF THE NEW BUDS

See how my garden has grown about me? See how my children, the darling buds, clamour for my attention? They cry at night and can be so touchy during the day! I must shelter them from harshness and keep them in a safe place, till they are strong enough to branch out….even then, my watchful eye will look out for their care.

You see, so many people see the beauty, and do not understand where it sprang from; the rich, loamy soil. The sweet water poured from the water-Dragonfae into this earth, the minerals of the natural realms, the light of the Sun and the shining sweetness of the crystal moon have all anointed my garden with their blessings. And then there is me. So many see my garden, and wonder at it, but they do not see the work and the care that has preceded my domain. Its beauty is a result of love, care, natural growth and attention to each and every one of its inhabitants.

When your growth appears around you, from the seeds you have planted, take time to tend this garden. Enlist the assistance of like-minded souls, and just as you would not feed these tender buds poisons and pollutants, do not feed your ideas the opinions and energies of those who are not in integrity. Stay true to the vision of your creation and truly take a little time each day to tend this garden, be it of love, ideas, little ones or creative endeavours, until they are robust and begin to grow into their own energy. For now, it is the tender time, the time when the buds are at most risk from the frost of rejection, the poison of judgement, and the choke of cruelty. Be vigilant, and you too will have a garden for all to enjoy and love.

Many will feel you’re fortunate indeed to have created such a beautiful Eden, but they will not see the care you have taken to grow this. But I have seen. I have seen it all. Whisper to her your dreams and ideas, plant your seeds, and watch them grow. Allow her to inspire you with care for your own budding projects, beings, loves and responsibilities.

The emergence will come at the right time, because the bud will be forced to flower at some stage – do not allow yourself to wither in the bud. Divine guidance needs practical application and work. Action teamed with inspiration will create a beautiful, bountiful paradise. Work hard at what it is you love.

THE TIME GUARDIAN

The feelings you have, of time contracting and expanding, are real insights, not simply your imagination. Time is a living dimensional being, whose powers include the ability to devote more time to those of us who require it, and for time to speed up or slow down then it may be necessary, too. It is in this way that we are able to divine and travel through the threads and weavings of time, and move forward into seeing our future…in truth, we are already there. And much of who we truly are remains an echo. The time beings of the Dragonfae, of whom I am one, know this, and guard and protect you from confusion. Similarly, they can assist you when you require time to be created.

If you feel you are short of time, send a thought message to me, the Guardian of Time, and I will send you all the help you need to meet your goals within the time you feel you have. Know that time is available to work for and with you; you need only tune into it as a dimensional reality, and connect with the time beings. Know that you are a timeless being. Know that you are dimensionally vast, that you are protected, cherished and loved.

If you work with time rather than trying to compartmentalise, control and define it, if we return to the lunar and solar and astronomical ways, if we celebrate the time changes apparent in nature all around us with the Wheel of the Year, then the time span we have will be richer and more joyful, our vocations will be discovered and we will no longer struggle to cram so much into our days. Because changing our perceptions is such a mammoth task, the Time Guardian is sometimes very tired, as the prevailing human mindset now is of time needing to be constrained and watched. He encourages us all to experience the natural flow of the energy we call time, and experience its multi-dimensionality. There is one simple way to work with him. Be in the present moment, more often.

THE MORRIGHAN

I see now that events are moving extremely fast; this is a time of rapid change and creation, so rapid that you may wish to slow down, just a little. However I say to you clearly that the time to act is now; and that procrastination and hesitation are your enemies at this time. I can lead you forward through this time, and help you pick your way through the minefield before you. This is a time of testing and darkness, but through this you will grow strong. Be aware! If you have resisted your abilities, or felt blocked in terms of following your life path, these changes will take place very rapidly because they have been waiting for a signal to be able to come in, and they are working hard with you so you do not have to endure a long, drawn-out process of change. Truly, you are ready. Take flight with me, and know that taking your own path seriously and acting now with deep integrity, is the way for justice to reach you.

Do not give in to panic and do not run. Now is the time. If not now, when?

You have already tortured yourself in a thousand ways with your thoughts. You cannot avoid change; each day your cells renew, and all you have to do is breathe in and out for this process to take place. You are confusing stasis with safety – there is nothing to fear, there is everything to gain. A turning point in your life demands action on your behalf, and backing down or avoidance is not the answer. Draw strong boundaries and claim your space. Face trouble rather than turning away. Confront injustice and change the rules by which you have felt bound. Learn to work with your strength and your own ability to create deep change. Lose fear of your own power. Let your courage feel inspired and know that destiny has given you an opportunity to be the courageous being of action that you truly are.

Oh my gosh, I love, love, love the cards! Such perfect messages and insight for where we all are right now. You seriously can’t make this shit up! Have an amazing week! Be gentle with yourself and others, take time out to just BE and allow the energy to move through you and not get stuck in you. Make good choices! Massive Hugs and Squeezes. There won’t be a reading next week as it’s Mothers Day and I want to play!

Why M? Celebrations, And our Third Eclipse in 4 weeks!

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Hello delicious lovely, happy Magnificent, Marvelous, Magical, Mighty, Manifesting, Majestic, Mindful, Mesmerising Monday!

Let’s talk about Monday shall we? I have encountered, talked to and listened to sooo many people in the last month who have the “Fuck I hate Monday” attitude. When I ask why they look at me as if I missed the memo “Duh, everyone hates Monday, it’s Monday!” This response causes me to shake my head, roll my eyes and sigh. It’s a day, it’s the same as the day before and the next one to come, it’s 24 hours in your life, just because it happens to be called Monday shouldn’t earn it a bad rap. I actually had someone sing me the old Boomtown Rats song “I don’t like Monday’s”. (They did it quite well all considered).

I appreciate some people see Monday as tolling the bed of – urrgghhhh, back to the 9-5, even if they currently aren’t at a 9 – 5. But let’s take a moment and look at this – if what we focus on expands and if we manage our thoughts it can change our reality – why on God’s green earth would you want to pump that level of negative blaugh?

What if we reframed it and Monday became – Marvellous Monday, Manifesting Monday, Magical Monday, Mesmerising Monday? (Can you think of some other ones?) I guess my challenge to you is to reframe Monday and what it brings, instead of looking at this poor day as the bringer of bad news, let’s look at it as a fabulous day to create, manifest, experience miracles, mindset shifts and huge surges of mojo! Who’s with me? I challenge you to look at the next 6 Mondays this way and share that energy with others (as it’s quite contagious!)

Personally I have to say I am quite fond of the letter M lol. Did you know that in Egyptian writing, its ideogram is derived from the character for water, which explains why it’s so gracefully written. In terms of Roman numerals, it represents the number 1000? I really quite like the idea of the Egyptian ideogram and the letter “M”.

Okay, enough expounding on this fabulous letter!

This coming week, here in Canada, is Canada Day and Pride Week. Normally that would mean fabulous parades, large gatherings, parties and exceptional fireworks (and who doesn’t love a good pinwheel!) However, with how the world is right now, those celebrations aren’t happening. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t have your own celebration, one that’s meaningful to you.

Think about it, a small social distance gathering outside, a fire, chalking the sidewalk with positive messages, setting up an impromptu dance party for your neighbourhood (all done outside and with social distance). There are many ways to celebrate and share how your feeling that can be new, fun and safe.

Okay, this coming weekend, in fact July 5th we have our third eclipse! Whoot!! This is a Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn. So for those of you who have messaged saying you aren’t sleeping well, you feel fractious, fatigued and fed up. I’m not surprised. Eclipse season is intense all on it’s own, let alone with the whole de-constructing of an old paradigm piled on top of it.

Now if you remember an eclipse can generate an awareness of something larger, running the show and they poke holes in our ego/identity revealing things within us that we have been avoiding or are totally unaware of.

An eclipse uncovers things. Some we want to see and others we really don’t. We have been walking through this Eclipse Gateway for the last 4 weeks, and oh so slowly we are discovering a new path that is emerging, one that is very different from the path we were walking before.

On July 5th this Lunar Eclipse that has ten times the potential of Full Moon, and often clears a path that helps accelerate our soul journey. And remember the energy reverberates for months.

With this eclipse being in Capricorn. As Forever shares:- This Eclipse not only ends the current Eclipse Season, but it also ends the Cancer-Capricorn Eclipse cycle that we have been working with since 2018.

Cast your mind back to the first Eclipse of this cycle, which took place in July 2018. What themes have stirred in your life since this time? What journey have you been traveling in regards to your work life (Capricorn) and your personal life (Cancer)? Where have you felt pushed or pulled when it comes to these areas of your life? Where have you felt called to create boundaries to either pursue your professional life or spend more time on self-care and with those you love?

The Capricorn-Cancer Eclipse cycle is now coming to an end, and this July 2020 Lunar Eclipse is our final culmination moment. It represents an ending, the completion of a cycle, and as this cycle completes, we may be able to tune in to the gifts and rewards that are waiting for us.

The Goddess asteroid, Vesta is close to the Sun during this Eclipse. Vesta represents harvest and abundance, and its presence will be ensuring that this Eclipse brings the fruits of our labor. Vesta will remind us of the importance of nourishing ourselves, and will carry home the message that taking care of ourselves and looking after our health and wellbeing should always be our number one priority.

While there are rewards to be delivered on this Eclipse, there is also a final release or purging too. We will be guided to release something from our lives, something we have been holding on to that is now ready to be returned to the Earth and replaced with something new.

So gorgeous one as you play with this energy do please remember that we are also playing with the Fire element – thus the key thing is be kind and gentle with yourself and allow (note that word) the feelings to come up and just flow through you. Some days you are going to be so inspired and filled with vim and vigour that you want to go conquer the world, other days you may feel like you want to hide out in a dark closet with a large bottle of wine and a straw! Just let it flow and stay focused on your Intention, okay?

So with all that being said when I went to the cards to ask who wanted to support and guide this week the glorious Oracle of Isis guides were most adamant.

Have you ever asked who Isis is? Goddess of the Skies, Magick and Wisdom are just a few of the titles she is given. Let me take a moment to introduce you to this lovely deck – “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening. Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world. When a Soul is growing in power and strength, it can benefit from guidance to help make the path into a new way of being in the world that much easier. Isis offers Her wisdom and guidance to you to assist you at this time of spiritual growth and transition. She loves you, and wants you to shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.”

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are Fire Agate – known as the Spiritual Flame of absolute perfection is a protective and grounding stone with a calming energy. It is said to build a protective shield around the body, deflecting ill-wishing and harm and reflecting it back to its source. Angel Wing Phantom Quartz – fabulous for connecting to your higher self and to attain a sense of tranquility. Carnelian -stabilising, it restores vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity. It gives courage, promotes positive life choices, dispels apathy and motivates for success.

Take a moment. Gift yourself that, and just breathe. As you gently slow down your breathing ask your wise inner self – what do I need to release this eclipse. Let it gently flow up into your mind’s eye and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go take a little look see shall we?

QUEEN OF HEAVEN
Blessing from the Divine Empress of the Skies

Take this as a confirmation of your feminine leadership and spiritual authority whether in male or female body this lifetime. Isis means “throne” and in Her presence and blessing, as Divine Empress of the Skies, She offers Initiates of the light, men and women, great feminine spiritual power.

Feminine spiritual authority occurs when power is tempered with mercy, wisdom, compassion and love. It is inspired spiritual leadership that is based in empowerment rather than force or control. Isis, calls you to ascend to the Throne of Feminine Leadership within your own being, that you may fulfil your life mission and serve the Divine Feminine on this planet from a place of inner spiritual authority.

This new model of power is not about assuming authority over another, but about living your truth and integrity and leading by authentic example. There is great power here, and no false sense of responsibility for another which could drain you and create dependency rather than growth in those you seek to empower through your leadership.

You are encouraged to contemplate how you might step more fully into your own authority. Often this requires that we make peace with the authority figures in our lives, past and present, and how we have experienced those relationships – whether as supportive, truthful and empowering or as disempowering, shaming or perhaps minimising or inflating our sense of grandiosity. Healthy relationships with authority figures help us recognise where we can learn and perhaps be mentored by another, and where we too can help others learn and grow.

Allow the release of forgiveness that comes with compassion and the freedom that willingness to grow within brings so that your relationship to authority within and externally can be healed and transformed.

SPIRIT OF ISIS
Triumph of the Goddess

Beloved Initiate, there are times to surrender and let go, but there are never times to give up! Persist with your bold faith and inspired action until the impossible happens. Isis has the spirit of triumph and will never fail in Her quest no matter how bold or impossible it seems. Believe.

It is helpful on the inner path to let go and detach over and over again and yet we need to stay true to our heart and not give up on what we feel we are here to do. Whether it is reaching for enlightenment, for inner peace, for a creative breakthrough or personal healing, the triumph of the Goddess is with you now urging you not to give up, no matter how far away or impossible success may seem to be. Don’t quit! Persist until the impossible happens!

You are being reminded that you can surrender, let go of attachment as to how everything will happen or what it will look like, even if it is frustrating to surrender the vision into the Divine Fires yet again, waiting until you feel it naturally coming together according to Divine Timing.

The Spirit of Isis is willing to wait until Divine Forces collide and the miracle occurs. Remember, beloved Initiate, that the forces of growth, love and divinity are in your corner. There is nothing more powerful than these. Allow them to have their way and you will have yours. Your win is assured.

MAGICK AND RITUAL
Crafting Sacred Practice

Effect in the external world can be created through inner practice. Magick and Ritual can support your Divine Path now in the physical world and you are encouraged to enhance your power with regular practice. The results that you experience will encourage you to continue with the practice as you grow in power, grace, love, ability and wisdom, and apply your inner beauty to transform your outer world.

Oh my gosh, I love, love, love the cards! Perfect guides for us at this time. So my delicious lovely, remember to be kind and gentle with yourself. This is not the time for pushing and forcing, it’s the time for flow. Try and do something every day that nourishes you and most certainly laugh! If you are somewhere where celebration is happening – create something that makes your tummy giggle and your soul soar. Sending you big hugs and squeezes and see you next week!

Yule time is here and welcome to B.O.W.S!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Has it occurred to you that this is the last Yule time (Northern Hemisphere) or Litha time (Southern Hemisphere) of this decade!! Wowzers! Let alone the fact that we are entering Eclipse time, but that’s for another day.

I love Winter Solstice and I can feel the energy of it for a few weeks before it even arrives. It’s dark far earlier, much colder outside and there is a desire to cocoon, wear warmer clothes and eat soup (at least for me). There is a sensation of reflection, going inwards and questioning that arrives naturally from this energy. To me this is a time where I notice those “meh” moments more and really examine my life and ask the question “Am I showing up and embodying what I am called to do?” That’s why, to me, I feel it vital to take some time out to honour this energy and work with it which in turn allows me to feel aligned. In fact I feel more balanced, connected and inspired after I have taken some time.

As a kid I used to be scared of the dark, I felt it held things that were terrifying and uncomfortable. As an adult I have learned that’s not true and have become willing to walk into the darkness and allow myself to get comfortably uncomfortable and dig deep, explore the mysteries and embrace all aspects of being human. Light and dark. You can’t have one without the other! Winter Solstice invites us with a safe open hand to step into the place of mystery, the warm comforting dark that wraps around us like a cosy blankie. Whispering in our ear – rest, be, embrace, release, create, imagine, grow ……….

So what is Winter Solstice and why celebrate it? Why take the time to honour it? The Pagan celebration of Winter Solstice (also known as Yule) is one of the oldest winter celebrations in the world. Winter Solstice takes place on the day where the night is the longest and the hours of sun or daylight are the shortest. In fact “Solstice” comes from two Latin words: sol meaning “sun” and sistere meaning “to stand still” because it appeared as though the sun and moon had stopped moving across the sky. This longest night of the year, followed by a renewal of the sun, demonstrates the cyclical order of the cosmos. In this way, celebrating the solstice can be a beautiful remembrance that our lives are part of a larger order, always changing, always renewing. It’s a gorgeous invitation to not be afraid of the dark or the shadow, as it is in that place is where we shift, grow and recharge.

Winter Solstice has been celebrated in various forms and for thousands of years across a myriad of cultures, all who are willing to step into the darkness and wait to welcome back the light. (And if you lived in medieval times that’s pretty ballsy!) So as I promised gorgeous one, my gift to you for this Yule time is B.O.W.S

I have been so thrilled to create this wonderful package, packed with information, rituals, intentions, magick and a glorious guided visualisation, just for you. You would have received the password for it in your email.

For my glorious ones in the South, I haven’t forgotten, let me introduce you to B.O.S.S. (Your Book of Summer Solstice). Again, packed with rituals, intentions, magick and a glorious guided visualisation.

Whether you are North or South wishing you a Blessed Solstice. So Be It.
