Crystal Therapy

Yup, Mercury is Retrograde and with November – the Energy has Shifted! Buckle up Baby, We’re Going Deep!

Happy Miraculous, Misty, Magickal, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday delicious lovely! How was your Samhain/Halloween? I will confess, I was left unsupervised with a box of those cute little mini aero bars and kit kats – what can I say? I blame it on not enough Trick or Treaters! Yup, there was only half a box left and I did feel rather sick! (But they were sooo cute and delicious!) However, I did take the time to make an offering to my Ancestors and to walk with the thin veil, it was amazing.

Okay, let’s get down to the Nitty Gritty. Mercury Retrograde and Energy Shift.

Now I know some of you the minute you hear the words “Mercury Retrograde” want to run and hide under a blankie in the closet. Totally get it. Personally it impacted me the minute it shifted by reading submissions not coming through, laptops acting up and my cell phone freezing at the most inopportune moments. Sigh. Breathe, Woosah!

So as we know Mercury is the planet of communication, mentality, thinking patterns, rationality and reasoning, and adaptability and variability. So yes we can sometimes get a tad lost and a bit like Chicken Little running around saying “Mercury is retrograde, Mercury is retrograde!”

But I love what Chani shares about Mercury retrograde:- “Mercury’s retrograde is as much of an underworld journey as Samhain. Traditionally known as a psychopomp, Mercury ushers us into the liminal space between the past and present, reason and intuition, the material and spiritual. Traditionally, a psychopomp is a spirit guide that helps souls transition from the living world to the afterlife. A spirit that guides us on our journey from the known to the unknown, Mercury helps to bridge to gap between the conscious mind to the unconscious realms.

In Scorpio, this Mercury retrograde runs deep, the pieces of the past that this transit is sure to exhume will be startling, but necessary. Because Mercury’s retrograde also asks us to reflect on the past, retrieving aspects of ourselves and the energy that got stuck there, there is a double emphasis on connecting the present to our roots. Helping us unlock our minds from the this/that, here/there paradigms we get stuck in, this Mercury retrograde is able to help us connect with an ancestor, an aspect of self, or an email long-lost in our inbox. Whatever it brings back to you, this Mercury retrograde is sure to resurface the perfect piece of information at exactly the right time.”

So are you willing to play with that exploration?

Okay, so we have unpacked this Mercury Retrograde, now let’s unpack the Energy Shift – whoot! Whoot! Now if you remember this is the Shamanic look at the energy for the month, so for example September was – Commitment, October was – Re-Writing the Story and now for November (drum roll please……………..) The Energy is inviting you to look and work with Proactive Change! So what the heck does that mean you might be asking? Fair enough, please let Lena explain it:- “The focus is on how we can show up from a place of inner choice that is ours alone and free of outside influences, pressures and imprinting.

It is indeed a time to stop complaining about how difficult and challenging the last few weeks have been, and get a bit ruthless about what you intend to change. This is not a passive time. Even the climate that promotes self-observation and emotional reset is an active one as it demands a choice and a direction at the end. Being proactive means choosing change, choosing to say yes or no, choosing to receive, choosing your attitude for the day, choosing acceptance of what is not yours to change, and choosing to be creative and expressive from something inside of you, your unique and personal signature, instead of an outside influence or pressure.

One of the enemies of proactive change is procrastination. When you procrastinate you do so out of resistance to being proactive. The more you procrastinate the more vulnerable you are to the passive state that allows for a less than desirable outcome. So, if you are procrastinating a task, a communication or a decision, don’t wait. Do it now or release it for good.”…….

To read more you can find it here.

So let’s look at this as a package. We have had Samhain which is celebrating our ancestors, looking back and asking for help. On that exact day Mercury went retrograde and invited us to do our inner work and now we have the invitation to really be Proactive about the Change that we want to create and manifest in our lives. (Are you paying attention?????)

For me, personally, this time between Samhain and Winter Solstice is an introspective time, a sorting/sifting time, a time to really do the work and snuggle up as the days get shorter and the weather gets colder. A time to unpack and release the dross that no longer serves and to create a space for something new and nourishing. Are you willing to play with it? Yes, this is deep work, yes there are soooooo many distractions that look far more sparkly, shiny and interesting. But what if you gave yourself 20 minutes a day to do something quiet, deep, introspective, how would that feel? If you do the math between now and Winter Solstice you would have made space and time for 17 hours of deep introspective, exploratory, discovery time! Wowzer! Talk about Proactive Change!

Just saying…..

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on – you have enough to perk and play with for the moment!

When I asked the cards who wanted to be your guides this week the glorious Isis Oracle were adamant to come and be front and centre. This is quite interesting as normally Isis doesn’t participate in “public readings”. It’s also rather ironic based on what we have just been exploring.

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 woggled to come and support are:- Blue Apatite – Increase your appetite for life! This lovely crystal helps to clear away the fog because it reminds us that what lies before and behind are of little consequence. It’s the energy that lies within that holds the key to eternal happiness. Emerald – help you open the heart to receive love in all aspects of life. The emerald meaning encourages you to give love to others as well as receive their love, enhance your own self-love and strengthen your connection with divine love. And last but not least, Peacock Ore – surrounds you with light to inspire positivity. It is a stone of creativity, innovation and blessings that helps to increase creative energies and stimulate new ideas.

There are also some heavenly scented flowers that are blooming on a gorgeous unknown to me tree!

Ready? I invite you to just BE for a few moments, just BE and BREATHE. Wiggle your fingers and toes, look at your hands and bring yourself to this moment, this present moment. As you breathe let the image of a warm, dark, cosy space flood up in your mind’s eye. In this space you nurture yourself, you are held, you are safe. In this space you can connect with something bigger than yourself and proactively make amazing changes in your life. Breathe that in; let it just float with no attachment to it. With this floating inside you allow it to pick the card or cards that want to share with you this week. So it is.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s see what guidance Isis would like to share shall we?

MAGICK AND RITUAL

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.

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 become 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.

PORTAL OF LIGHT

It is only this physical reality that is bound by time and space. You are a being 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 future bright and to call for more power in the present moment.

ANCIENT POWER MYSTERIES

The Rattle of Isis, the Sistrum, is playing in the hand of the goddess now. Can you sense it with your inner hearing? Its vibration reaches through your crown chakra and enters your body, initiating you into great ancient power mysteries of sound, creativity and healing. This is a time when words and music will become increasingly important on your spiritual path and healing journey.

When the Lady Isis initiates a beloved into Her Ancient Mysteries, life can become quite interesting! An Initiate of Isis does not just learn new ideas as a student, but is thrown into the experience of the mysteries in real day-to-day living so that they may be truly mastered in our lives and then utilised in service to help the lives of others too, so that one day, all beings will be healed and whole, according to the will of the Divine Feminine.

The Rattle of Isis initiates us into the mysteries of sound healing and creation through vibration. If we listen carefully with our inner ear, we can hear the sounds of the Universe alive. Remember, just as your body may naturally wish to dance when you hear a wonderful piece of music with your physical ears, so too when the inner ear of the Soul hears the cosmic tune of the Divine Mother urging growth, healing and greater joy, the Soul wishes to move and our lives change! Trust in the flow, work with your words to bring yourself into alignment with your Soul, remembering that the Soul resonates with love, bliss, abundance, peace, joy and connection with all that is. Focus on these kinds of energies and your words will help you align with your Soul and genuinely feel the peace beneath the changes you are experiencing in your life.

Have I said I love what I do? I love my guides, I love the cards, I love you. I love what I do! The cards that speak to this energy and invite you to go deeper in this cocoon, the crystals to support that. Wowzer! (Seriously I am grinning like a maniac – it’s not very attractive lol). Okay delicious lovely, a brief heads up. There will be no reading next week as it is Remembrance Day here, and I most certainly honour the people who had the passion to stand up and make a difference so that I can live in safety, in a democracy, in peace. I hope you have a glorious week, take time to go inward (it is quite delicious) and nourish yourself. Do something everyday that lights you up! Huge hugs and squeezes and see you in 2 weeks.

The Veil is Thinning, have you talked to your Ancestors? And a Samhain offering!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Marvelous, Mystical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday delicious lovely! How are you? How was the Scorpio New Moon yesterday? Did you give yourself some time to think of 10 wishes, desires, goals you want this glorious time to support you with? The weather here has perked up and I have revelled going out in the sun and playing in the leaves – let alone we had three birthdays to celebrate this last week! (I so love good cake!)

This Thursday we have Samhain (Halloween) and as I have shared before it is one of my favourite celebrations!!!! I mean I seriously love, love, love Halloween (or as I refer to it Samhain, pronounced Sow-een)! I love the costumes, the pumpkin carving – which we did on Saturday and ended up with some very cool pumpkins. I love the crispness of the air in the morning, the smell of wood smoke late at night from chimneys near by, the crunch of the leaves under my boots as I go yomping about. I love having hordes of little people who are dressed as faeries, princesses, warriors, ninjas and a myriad of other delights knocking at the door hollering “Trick or Treat!” When my kids were smaller and would go out with pillow case clutched in hand to gather farrrrrr too many sweeties, their enthusiasm and delight was positively contagious. As the mumma I was also able to impose a “mumma tithe” on the sweeties, so I would receive 10% of all the mini chocolate bars (the mini Mars bar being my favourite!) Nom, nom, nom. Yesterday we all got together as a fam dam, lit a fire, carved pumpkins and celebrated one of my boys (with a massive homemade Greek feast). It was absolutely delicious. I love these moments. Now why do we carve pumpkins? Have you ever wondered? There’s a fabulous Irish myth that you can share with your kids all about The Tale of Stingy Jack and the Jack o Lantern…..

I love that the veil is thinning (and some of you may be saying – Ummm, errr, What?). Halloween was originally a festival celebrating the dead and the world of the supernatural. It was a time of reverence for and contact with the dead. It was also a time to reap the crops that had been sown in the year prior and to prepare for the “dark night of winter.” It is the New Year for many pagans, especially witches (or Wiccans). Samhain was and is a time for reflection on the previous year and what you have done with your life. It is a time of great magick and mystery and reverence for the supernatural and the “other side.” It is considered the time when the “veil between the worlds” is at its thinnest and the dead can-and do-walk among us. Thus, making it easier to communicate with those who are no longer physically here.

Many of you have emailed me asking if there is going to be a Samhain reading special. I have perked it and yes until November 1st I have opened up spots. It’s the perfect time as magick and communication is in the air! Which got me thinking about Ancestors, mine in particular. I have been fortunate to know 4 generations prior to me, some albeit briefly and I have had aunts who have explored our Celtic family and have shared.

However, you may know a name, a date when born, when they died – but who were they? Have you ever thought about who your Ancestors were as a person? What they did, how they felt, what they wished for? I read a phrase the other day “ You are the Faery Tale your Ancestors told.” Breathe that in and think about it. It really hit me as I was having a shower (I know odd, but hey), here I am reaching out to my Ancestors – but in generations to come they will be reaching out to me as I will be the Ancestor. They will be the faery tale I told. What would I like to tell them, and share with them?

When I used to Karma Krew at Enlightened Warrior, one of the sayings that we used a lot was “AHO” as an acknowledgement and in various of the “processes” that would occur in this format of camp often you would hear “aho mitakuye oyasin”, which is a phrase from the Lakota language meaning “I welcome all my relations”, it acknowledges the connection to lineage and to nature. Ancestors. This in turn got me to thinking about when I meditate or when I am out in the woods, what if I were to invite the wisdom, teachings and supportive energy of my Ancestors to be with me, would it make a difference? Well I tried it yesterday out in the woods, and all I can say is it was pretty stupendous. I felt like I had my own special entourage with me, guiding me, whispering words of encouragement and holding me in an energy of love and safety. I highly encourage you to give it a try!

This perking of Ancestors got me to thinking about Belonging. I facilitate a group called Soul Matters and each month we “walk” with a theme through the month, there are amazing spiritual exercises to explore, and we come together and practice deep listening, and deep sharing – this isn’t light or trite or for the faint of heart lol. The theme for this month is “Belonging” – not just about the place you feel you belong to, but more importantly “who and what do you belong to?’ Think about that – who and what do you belong to. In other words, “whose am I?” You are not a single mote floating randomly in the Universe, you are part of the people around you, you are part of your family and I invite you to welcome in that you are part of your Ancestors. Yes?

So as we approach Samhain I invite you to perk about your Ancestors and who do you Belong to and what does that feel like. Willing to play with it?

With Samhain, the veil thinning, Ancestors and Belonging wafting through the air when I went to the cards I grinned like a Cheshire Cat! The cards that chose you this week are The Oracle of the Shapeshifters. If these glorious guides are new to you, let me please introduce them (as that is the polite thing to do)! “These are the magickal familiars, once the companions of shamans, witches, wizards, and wise ones – and now they are here for you. Now is the time for you to undertake a great quest – to rebirth yourself within this lifetime and this quest of evolution does not need to be faced alone. We change and we change again. We fear change. Yet it comes. For us to fear change is as foolish as winter crying for the coming of spring. Change is. Fear corrupts. These guides are here to support, encourage and help you through transformation and to teach you to let go of fear. True , deep change must take place for you to fulfill your soul contract. You may have turned from possibility to what you have convinced yourself is probable: You diminish your possible self, reduce who you are, and dilute your spirit. But even when you have sought to remain invisible and hidden away, and said yes to everyone else, life will find you – and transform you. You are never alone with these beings.” Phew! So there we have it are you ready?

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to come support are:- 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. Citrine – attracts wealth, prosperity and success. It imparts joy, wonder, delight and enthusiasm. Raises self-esteem and self-confidence. And some gorgeous little Calendula flowers wanted to impart their healing – don’t fret – they went in a gorgeous salad afterwards. Nom!!!

So delicious lovely, breathe yourself back into your body. All the way down to your toes and to the tips of your hair. Woosah. Just breathe, gift yourself with these moments. I have included a lovely guided visualisation to really tap into the energy of Ancestors if you feel inclined. As you breathe invite into your minds eye Ancestors and Belonging, let them swirl and guide you. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you. Woosah!

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to look?

BROTHER RACCOON

Raccoons speak of stealth, remaining undercover, and flying under the radar. Raccoons suggest you take cover, work with camouflage, and stay in the in-between places for a time in order to remain safe. Do not reveal who you are, what you do, or your new idea or project to all. Too often we share what we are planning out loud, giving all, even ourselves, the impression it is already done. It is not.

It needs careful protection, but mostly you need to not draw attention. It does not mean you have to be furtive or sneaky, though some will call it so. It means to quietly get on with your day-to-day and the very soulful business of change without showing everyone every detail along the way. You have far to go – at this early stage it is not advisable to share all. There is a sacred part of you that must be protected, for it could easily be exhausted and exploited by those who will be very quick – even quicker than you – to recognise the value of what you have.

In order to survive, sometimes you must hide, camouflage, or mask yourself from those who would know our true nature and exploit you. Like a precious plant when snow falls, you must go underground, huddle in your seed, and keep quiet and safe from those who would take you and cultivate you and your amazing self for their own reasons. This is not a time to allow yourself to be used by others for their own agendas. Do not think of this hiding or melting into the forest as cowardice; it is wise to go to ground for a time now. In order for ou, your ancestry, your bloodline, and anything cherished and rare to live on, you sometimes must hide it away for a time, brining it forward later so that you flourish.

THE GOLDEN PHOENIX

You are transforming – both internally and externally – and this change is blessed, divine, and guided by your Golden Phoenix guardian. Talk to your Golden Phoenix at sunrise – and know that as you do so, your Golden Phoenix is recharging your chakras and your aura, and thus your experiences, thoughts, and reality. You are loved by the Golden Phoenix, and as you honour her with your transformation, she honours you with this marvelous gift of regeneration. Life from death. The sun from the ashes. You rise again, reborn. The Golden Phoenix is perhaps the greatest creature of rebirth and reincarnation. This sacred helper, guardian, and loving companion guides you to die before you die, to be born again within this life, many times. Allow the things that no longer serve you to fall like autumn leaves. Allow yourself to be reborn, like the budding leaves of spring. You are potentially in one of the most invigorating, challenging, and inspiring rebirth cycles ever.

You retreated, rested, and you recovered. And now you will reignite! You thought something – or someone – was done. Dead. In the past. But his once lifeless thing of ashes is about to flame back into full existence! You are about to witness a resurrection, and you and the reborn will have the chance to create something of warmth and beauty together – something pure, innocent, and wise that will benefit many. Life always finds a way – and you will have a Golden Phoenix guiding you to rekindle a dream you gave up on too soon.

SNAKE PRINCESS

Associated with the goddess, worshipped in the matriarchal cultures of Minoa, and venerated by many people, including the Hopi, the snake is life itself. It is the marriage of the heavens and earth, and it symbolises the union of masculine and feminine. The snake is your spine, your DNA, and your nervous system; it is the ancient serpent kundalini knowledge that has been denied for over two thousand years and now returns.

It may be time for you to carry a staff, a sacred tool around which the snake mother can twine and speak with you. You deserve to let this energy flow into you, for it is the ultimate energy of rebirth. It is time for you to shed the skin of fear and conditioning, yet to use still your own wits. The snake will support your intelligence, and goddess will support your true self-love and acknowledgement. You are about to receive knowledge of healing, of ancient times, of the beauty of what lies beneath – the underworld, with all its wisdom of crystals, minerals, and ancient worlds.

Speak and show who you are. You will not bite. You will grow strong. You will not poison. You will inform us all with your brightness and illuminated apple, which when opened will reveal the five star seeds of wisdom. Do not refuse this apple. Do not heed the fear. Transform and heal. The propaganda about the snake and the serpent goddess has led us to fear this creature and our deep, wise, ancient self, and to forgo many blessed forms of connecting with the divine and with our own DNA.

My home is this tree of the world, where all souls flow from. Your soul is nurtured by my presence and wisdom of the tree. Eat of our fruit. It is your soul nourishment. And do not let the fears and the lies you have been taught be the reason you deny me. You are strong enough. You are worthy enough.

Wow! Well delicious lovely these are amazing cards to welcome in Samhain and the glorious New Moon energy of Scorpio that we just had. Breathe it in. Take some time to imagine your Ancestors, including the ones you don’t know of, and invite them in to support and guide you. Wishing you a stupendous week, may you have a myriad of mini Mars bars appear on your doorstep and smell the crisp air, walk in the crunchy leaves and give thanks. Allow the whispers of your Ancestors guide you to Belonging. Happy Samhain! See you next week! Remember, if you would like to take advantage of the Samhain reading special, you have until November 1st.

Big hugs and squeezes,

Shadow Archetypes, New Moon in Scorpio and Samhain!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Miraculous, Magickal, Mystical, Melancholy, Magnificent, Misty, Merry, Manifesting Monday! So good to be back, although I had a stupendous Thanksgiving weekend! The weather was fabulous, fun games were played, a huge meal was cooked and enjoyed and there was lots of laughter and connection (as well as candle making).

We have lots to explore this week, Autumn and the melancholy that can come with it, Shadow Archetypes, New Moon in Scorpio and of course Samhain! (Halloween, which is my all time favourite holiday of the year!) So grab a cup of tea and be ready to do some delving.

For some people Autumn can feel rather melancholic – with the leaves changing and dropping and a knowing that the days are getting shorter and winter is coming. There is a sense of going inwards and for self exploration, which for some of us feels rather challenging – we want to be distracted, doing things, sunny and bright. Aahhhh grasshopper, you are, but to see your brightness you need to welcome in the dark. Yes?

For me an inner burbling started a few weeks ago, have you ever felt that? It’s like an odd sensation in your body, being, mind, energy – the whole nine yards and you know something needs to come out and things are going to shift and change. The first time it happened to me years ago I tried running in the opposite direction to avoid it (let me tell you, it doesn’t work, it just comes back stronger and more intense). So as this burbling started I thought to myself – hmmm, something needs to be heard, shared, released etc. The first part that surged up was there were certain books I had to read, certain places I needed to go, certain people I needed to talk to. Okay, that’s easy enough. Then it got a bit stronger and stronger still until Wham!

Thus, after an amazing Thanksgiving weekend of keeping myself super busy, playing, exploring, entertaining, tending others, cooking – everything that was about others (which I am really good at). Monday I woke up and thought hmmm, I feel wiped. Not tired, but wiped, like a rung out dishcloth – nothing, nadda. Am I sick? I don’t believe so? Then I remembered the burbling and the message I had put out a few weeks earlier; the message I had put out to the Universe was “I feel I need to go deeper, I want more spirituality and awareness in my life”. HA! Gotta love how the Universe works and how it shows up (not always as planned). On Monday the weather changed from sunny skies to torrential rain and dark for days (and I mean at least 7!) Hmmm, the last time I saw the weather shift this fast and for a long period of time was the couple of days my sister was transitioning from physical to not. Gulp!

This time it took me dark (not weird dark, but into the shadow realm dark). I spent four days napping, lucid dreaming, writing, drinking cups of tea, reading, walking by the ocean or under the trees in the rain – repeat. I didn’t feel the need to eat as much, nor the need to talk to anyone. I played music, I wrote, I spent days in silence (which is so not my comfie realm) and most importantly I listened and was willing to see. Now don’t get me wrong, I used to hate Shadow work, but the fact of the matter is – we all have a Shadow side. We all have bits of us that no matter how we stuff it, ignore it, try and put glitter on it’s frigging there. So I played with it from a neutral place, not one of judgement, shame, blame – but a place to be willing to see if my Shadow pieces could be incorporated or did some need to be released. Well let me tell you it was bizarre, amazing, humbling, deep, dark and so many gifts tumbled out of the dark into the light. I realised that I have been playing from my Shadow Archetype. Now what the heck does this mean?

For me, my top 4 Archetypes are Maker, Healer, Writer, Lightworker – so how does one have a Shadow Archetype of those you may ask. What Shadow Archetype means is that you are still keeping yourself and your full Archetype on the sidelines to conform to what you perceive as societal norms and expectations. Something that at some point your soul is going to start burbling at you about. So again, for me, yes I write, but do I write daily? Do I write about the tough stuff (not often). As a Maker do I love to create, yes, however, do I only create things that I believe people will like (quite often yes). Are you getting this now? So one of the biggest gifts that came out of this week of bizarre transcendence was really embracing those Shadow Archetypes, offering them up to the light, welcoming them in and really aligning with me, my purpose, and how I want to serve and share. So if you see some tougher posts, or more calls to action you are more than welcome to ignore or it just might tickle your Shadow to come out to play.

The key transformation from this process for me was to be fully, completely present with all aspects of myself, even if they aren’t so pretty – because perhaps by me sharing, someone else will take a sigh of relief and know it’s okay to come out of the Shadows. There is something that has been burbling for me to create for over a year now to connect us all together – so as I have learned this last week – it’s got to happen! We are all part of something bigger and we need to share and encourage each other. We aren’t meant to be solo’s floating around in this great pond of life. Have you ever thought of what your Shadow Archetypes are?

On October 27th (just before Halloween) we have a glorious New Moon in Scorpio and Holy Hannah this is going to be quite an electric one. Scorpio rules the eighth house in astrology — the place that concerns sex, secrets, scandals, other people’s money, death, and transformation of all types. This will be a significant moon in the collective and our personal lives, and the energy will be powerful through Halloween week. Expect change that comes like a lightning bolt out of the blue. The change can affect relationships, money, income, and any other number of areas. It will be unsettling for some and electric for others. New Moon opposite Uranus creates spontaneous, erratic, and chaotic change. This highly charged electric energy can cause anxiety, impatience, abruptness, impulsiveness, and rebelliousness. So if you are feeling a tad tweaky, take some time to really ground, breathe and most certainly make New Moon wishes on Sunday. If you don’t know how to make them, we have you covered here.

Now isn’t it delicious that this New Moon energy kicks off just a few days before Samhain? (I think so!)

I love, love, love Halloween. The smells, the leaves, the costumes, the decorating – the whole nine yards! At the time that most of us celebrate Halloween it is also the festival of Samhain, the third and final Harvest festival where we celebrate with fire, eating and honouring the dead. In many places, Samhain coincides with the end of the growing season. Vegetation dies back with killing frosts, and therefore, literally, death is in the air. This contributes to the ancient notion that at Samhain, the veil is thin between the world of the living and the realm of the Dead and this facilitates contact and communication. This is also the Celtic New Year. Now I know some people get a tad tweaky when we talk Death, but we will explore it more next week with some ideas of how to really tap into the potency of this time. I promise you it won’t be scary!

So, when I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide and teach this week I nearly snorted tea out of my nose when I saw who were most adamant. (Seriously you can’t make this shit up!) The glorious Oracles of Shadow and Light, were most adamant they should be front and centre. Now if these amazing guides are new to you, please let me introduce them:- “Wisdom for Misfits, Mystics, Seekers, and Wanderers. Bittersweet…Unheard…Unconventional…Rebellious…Cheeky…Whimsical…Invisible. They’re not the words you often hear associated with the spiritual world, are they? Nevertheless, some of the most spiritual beings who have ever lived are those who have been most at odds with what we call the mainstream. They do not fit in. They have had moments of despair. And they know being truthful, and being real, is one of the greatest strengths and spiritual paths of all! They ask you to step out from the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and to consult with an oracle that acknowledges your individuality and strange genius!”

How’s that for a warm welcome?

The crystals that came to play are:- Mystic Merlinite – is known to be a stone of duality. It speaks about light and dark, and the black and white. It’s a seemingly simple stone that can attract good luck and powerful magic into your life. It’s a stone that will invite you to discover the deeper and darker parts of your being. Moonstone – The Goddess, mystery, self discovery and intuition. Shadow Quartz – lies in its ability to protect and ground one physically and spiritually to this world, and to absorb and transmute significant amounts of negative energy and release it into the Earth to be neutralized naturally.

Wowzer, the crystals have aligned with the energy and the cards – very cool.

Okay, you ready? Come settle into your body, it’s safe to be there. Breathe yourself back in – long deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. Allow your face, jaw and shoulders to relax. If you need a bit of extra support there is a glorious guided visualisation for you (just below), if you feel inclined. If not, just breathe and invite in the pieces of you that you have judged as dark, “not right” and ask them what they need you to know this week. Breathe. It’s all good.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see what our glorious guides want to share this week.

VOODOO IN BLUE

This fairy is letting you know that it’s time to back off from a person or situation that is not in your best interests….and that you may need to be brave and stop being so welcoming of what you actually do not want! So, this blue fairy, waving her voodoo doll, is letting you know very clearly that you now must tell someone to take a step back. You know you have been overriding your instincts with what seems rational, with misguided desire to help and befriend someone who may not be particularly good for you.

Voodoo in Blue doesn’t mind if she looks bit nasty when she gives the back-off message: she’d rather she was loud and clear and that the person pushing her buttons leaves quickly. So, she wants you to start trusting your instincts. To start being honest above being “nice”.

You do feel like you need to stay away from someone – and to tell that person clearly to stay away from you. And Voodoo in Blue stepping forward to speak with you confirms that your hunches have been ever so right.

CANDY CANE ANGEL

The Candy Cane Angel is in charge of letting you know when it is time for some little luxuries that will reconnect you with your self-love and self-worth. She, too, holds back from giving to herself, as she is such an earnest and industrious little angel – but her message is always clear; it is time for some fun!

As she says clearly to you “You know what my problem is? And you know what your problem is? No? Well, let me tell you. Our problem is that we both feel guilty about giving ourselves pleasure. See this little treat in my hands? It’s not bad, is it? It’s not evil, is it? But can I bring myself to just sit down and taste every moment of its sugary sweet delights? No. I have to wonder if it’s the right time. If I have done enough to earn this treat. To wonder why I should get this when so many do not have a single candy cane for their own selves! I torment myself with these things – and so do you! How about we make a deal? Next time you ponder a gift to yourself: a massage, a treat, a spiritual workshop, a delicious meal, time to laugh with a friend, a long rest or nap, meditation time, a space clear…..know that when you energetically tell yourself “I am way too busy for that indulgence,” you are really saying, ‘I do not deserve that!’ Well, let’s decide that you do! I am about to have my treat. I now charge you with the same quest. Give yourself that which you have been denying yourself. You do deserve it!”

Do not rationalise or talk yourself out of it any longer. Step out of the consciousness of lack and into the consciousness of “I deserve,” and grant yourself this lovely moment of luxury. It’s time for some joie de vivre and enjoyment to restage a grand entrance into your life!

MEND A BROKEN HEART FAIRY

Here she comes to gather up your heart’s sore pieces and place a sweet bandage on the place that is most wounded. And this one tender gesture does more to heal you than could a thousand years of therapy. It’s time for small kindnesses to be received, for you to know that the little gifts of friendship and sweetness are the ones that will assist you most at this time.

Allow yourself to be treated gently, to be attended to with kindness, and to be hugged. Allow yourself to accept that this is a time when you need to take good care of yourself. You are healing, and on the mend, but do not undo her medicine by forcing yourself to hurry up and get over it!

When you have heartache, it is important to treat yourself well: take time away from the flurry of shoulds you are so often confronted with. Why not take some time to snuggle on the couch with a favourite old movie, and have a sniffle. Have a long, comforting bath, and be sure to make a promise to yourself to let close people who are worthy of you and of your love! It is not about being bitter or guarded, but you are a sensitive and tender sweet being, and some people are just…not! So now is not the time for harshness. Soft blankets, sweet dreams, long baths, and a reduction of the harsh energy around you are best.

Then the Mend A Broken Heart Fairy can fly in to soothe you….. You will feel her presence, and she will lift the pain, until all that is left is sweet, gentle wisdom!

Wowzer my delicious lovely, that was delightful to watch how it all ties together at this time! Wishing you a stupendous week filled with colourful leaves, crisp fresh air and the anticipation that things they are a changing. I invite you to welcome your shadow aspects to the table and see what they have to teach you. Have a glorious New Moon and see you next week when we really dig into Samhain and some potent ways to tap that thin veil energy. Magick is in the air! Warm hugs and cosy soxs. And Breathe!

Are you Willing to Rewrite Your Story?

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Merry, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday! How are you delicious lovely? How has your week been?

Mine was fab until the wee hours of Friday morning (4:30am) Where I got taken out by a goose and ended up with concussion! (Seriously, you really can’t make this shit up!) So I spent a few days feeling dazed, confused and forgetting appointments, which really irritated me, but what bothered me more was having to say “Sorry, got smoked in the head by a goose at 430 in the morning.” There were many sideways glances, to say the least!

Ah well, life happens lol.

I had an interesting question from a client where she was talking about all the “energetic themes”, and how confused she was as to which one to pay attention to. As we dug deeper she was getting a tad irate and saying “There is a seasonal energy, there is an elemental energy, then you share the shamanic energy of the month, I love my monthly energy reading but there are the moons as well – which do I fucking pay attention to?”

Aaaahhhh, grasshopper. Good question. Pay attention to what resonates for you. You don’t have to take all of them on, unless you understand how they weave or are at least willing to play with the weaving.

Here’s my personal example:- Okay, we are in early Autumn and the element is Water, the Divine Feminine, communication, creativity, connection, expression (think second chakra). I take that as the umbrella as this spans a few months. Then under that gorgeous umbrella I work with the shamanic energy of the month (which we will explore in a mo), as that gives another broad brush stroke to what to allow to perk and play. Then I have my own monthly energy reading, which shows what under those two gorgeous canopies will play out for me personally. Then of course there are the energy of the new moon and full moon, and those both come under all the rest. It’s not complicated and it shouldn’t cause stress – it’s more a case of looking at the broad vision and then bringing it into yourself. Does that make sense?

So for example we have the element of Water in play right now, yes? Which we have referenced above now let’s look at the Shamanic Energy for October:- REWRITING YOUR STORY. The best person to explain this is Lena – Do you love every aspect of your life? Do you love what is happening in the world, on our planet, with your friends and loved ones? Do you wake up every day and feel that everything is perfect and right and you would not have it any other way?

If you answered yes, you are a rarity, as most of us have aspects of our lives that could be much improved and there are parts of our personal story and what we see happening in the world that we would give anything to change.

This month we have the opportunity to shift the cycle of feeling victimized and imprisoned by our story and to put into action our dreams for a better future. This is not going to happen passively. This is an active time of releasing the old story, the attachment to suffering, blaming and complaining, and resetting the patterns to begin manifesting a new dream and living a new story. It seems simple when put into words. However, the attachment to the comfort zone, no matter how unsatisfying it is, can be an enormous challenge to overcome. We simply do not believe we have the power to rewrite our story. Our story is the product of a set of rules, some conscious and some unconscious. In order to rewrite our story, we need to change and rewrite our rules.….. to read more, you can find Lena here.

Okay, so do you see how the element of Water, the Divine Feminine, emotions, communication now feeds into REWRITING YOUR STORY? Then my personal energy report for the month is all about shifting, celebrating and communicating in a way that is a tad more aligned and challenging. (Which again ties in to the two tiers above). Then if we look at the New Moon we just had in Libra, which was about balance, communication etc. Voila! It’s like making a glorious cake with multiple layers. The cake wouldn’t be as amazing without each piece. Yes? Does it become clearer now for you?

Phew, I hope so! If not, let me know. (I could still be dazed and confused from a goose attack lol).

Enough chuntering, let’s go see who wants to work with you this week. When I went to the cards, there were two decks that wiggled and jiggled and then one bounced the other out of the way (cheeky monkey’s). The Oracle of the Dragonfae were most clear – they had messages and guidance they wanted to share. Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them:- 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 are:- Amethyst – aids healing and intense spiritual growth, also a gorgeous stone of protection. Chrysocolla – revitalises and balances the base, navel and solar plexus chakras. Lepidolite with Micca – One of the best mood stabilizers, it doesn’t require a prescription and side effects include a sense of calm and tranquility during times of stress and chaos.

So are you ready? Are you ready to at least perk Water and Rewriting your story? Breathe little one, take a big breath out through your mouth and then a deep inhale through your nose. Hold for 4 and then sigh it out. Let the cares and worries drop to the ground. Remember you are part of the Divine. You are connected to Heaven and Earth. If you need some help remembering that there is a cool guided visualisation for you.

As you breathe, ask yourself what tiny piece of your story are you willing to rewrite? Breathe that in. Breathe that out and then slowly back in. When you’re ready, pick the card or cards that whisper, nudge or jump out at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look.

GWYNNE & ELLUISH

Dear one, never be surprised at the ways in which your connections to the Mother and to the Earth are being birthed into the world. If you are experiencing prophetic dreams, sift through the images, and the messages and know that all insights are worthy of attention, and most especially your own. The inner world and the Earth’s magick are both speaking to you, and wishing for you to answer. Do this by connecting with your own inner self. We know that you are searching for answers that are indeed within you, and that the path you are walking is not easy under your feet.

We all return to Her, the great Goddess, our Mother. The Earth wishes for you to reconnect with her in simple, pleasant and joyful ways – friends and food, laughter and love. Do not fear your own true self, your intuitive self. There are many words your people use for the truth of who you are, which can lead to confusion, and there has been fear and suspicion seeded in your minds, which can lead to mistrust.

Know from your true magickal self that you are a being of magick; with a unique blend of earth, air, fire and water magick making up your spirit. You are receiving messages – and yes, you also can hear them, just as we can “hear” each other’s thoughts before they have even developed into words. In time you will come to understand these silent ways of communicating and know the truth of your belonging to the old ways.

Know that all beings – plants, animals, and etheric – have so much to share with you. You are never alone.

AINE AND THE GUARDIAN

Here I stand, offering to you the protection and safety of my guardian being, wanting you to know how very protected you truly are. Never need you fear again those who have done you harm. This is over, and never again will disrespect and tyranny blight your path and light. Know that from this moment on, I stand with you, as does this magnificent Moondragonfae guardian, and together we say you may live as you wish, you may love as you wish, you may worship as you wish. No longer will others who feel they know best have their way with you, in spirit, in your heart, in your body, in your eternal soul. You are a radiant being of moonlit power, and the Goddess, our Mother, is overjoyed at your brilliance, your wit, your beauty, your freedom.

I repeat. You are safe. You are protected. You are divine. All else is a lie.

Allow yourself to take flight, and explore the night and the freedoms it holds. The Moon cycles have much to reveal to you now, and as she wanes and waxes, and shines fully, you may stand beneath her and feel her rays shining through your every cell, filling you with natural magick that sustains your freedom, your true soul self, and brings you a warrior strength that by no means decreases your brilliance as a woman, or your femininity. Be receptive, and Aine will guide you to her magickal places, and this galactic Dragonfae being will help you see beyond our own star, the Sun, into the realms beyond. Your freedom and your self is as boundless as the night sky.

LADY TITANIA

Celebrate yourself!

There is no true happiness without joy in being who you are. Over this next moon cycle, the forthcoming 28 and a half days, many opportunities will come to you to play, revel, dance and explore the moonlit and joyful part of yourself that has been truly too long neglected!

It is time to come forth from the place where you have been taking shelter and quiet time, and partake of the joy of good sweet company. Know that everyone, including the beings of the Dragonfae, is delighted and happy to know of your ability delight in your own self.

Celebrate, and we celebrate with you. Hail, joyful kindred spirit and be welcome to the feast!

Have a stupendous week. Play with the themes. Remember please, please. You are here for a purpose and you are part of the Divine. You are connected to Source and to Earth. Play with rewriting your story, play with the water energy and most of all – play! Laugh, smile, get outdoors and celebrate the colours. As next Monday is Thanksgiving here, I plan on a glorious explore and family time. I will see you the week after.

Massive hugs and squeezes!

Early Autumn brings the Element of Water into Play – are you Flowing or Stagnant?

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Miraculous, Magickal, Marvelous, Magnetic, Magnificent, Merry Monday! With the glorious Fall Equinox last Monday, we are now in the energy of early Autumn (duh, Jenn!) Ahh, but grasshopper with every season there is an element – yes? For example, summer has the element of Fire (think hot days, forest fires, and that rising energy), early Autumn brings the element of Water into play.

Ready to explore Water with me? Water represents the Divine Feminine, emotions – such as love, compassion, sorrow, wisdom, the unconscious mind, empathy. Water is also very cyclical (think of the tides), think of ice melting and running into a creek, which turns into a river which goes to the ocean, evaporation, then rain which turns into snow, which turns into ice. Voila!. Water shows us movement, flow, whether it’s the gentle swirls of a lazy slow moving river or the pounding waves that erode rock, at the same time it also makes us aware of stagnation and murky underdepths. Okay, Jenny what’s this got to do with me? You are composed of at least 60% water (that’s a lot of water!) So whether you are conscious of it or not your body responds to moons, tides, and the element of the season. (Tell me in the heat of the summer you have never felt huge fire surging through you?)

Thus, with this very emotional, strong, tidal energy in play now it’s interesting to see that this element is also tied to the Sacral Chakra “svadhisthana” which translates to “one’s own dwelling” – the home of the emotional body, communication, sensuality and creativity, our ability to express.

So the question to ask yourself is are you “in the flow” – like a babbling brook, or cheerful creek, or are there areas that are feeling a tad more “stagnant” – like a marsh? Are you feeling clear about your communication, your feelings, your creativity – like a gorgeous aqua marine pool, or are things feeling hidden, blurred and bogged down – more like a muddy pond? Play with this. Perk it. A super easy daily thing to do to remind you about the energy of water is; when you get up in the morning have a lovely tall glass of warm lemon water, first thing. Feel it flowing down your throat, into your tummy, making everything fresh and washing away the night mossiness in your system (your liver will also thank you!) Another easy thing to keep the awareness of water in your mind and help you examine whether you are flowing or a tad blocked – have a ritual bath once a week. Easy, peasy. Play with it, doodle it and let me know. Remember water is rejuvenating, refreshing, revitalising and can overwhelm when blocked up and it breaks free.

Oh yes, Danu (my 11 month old doggo) has certainly made me aware of the Water Element this week, as on our daily beach walks she has managed (3 different times) to find a dead seal and roll in it! (There are no words for that smell). Which in turn has meant having to bathe her and she hates water. (So much fun – said no one ever!)

The interesting thing was that as I was exploring water it brought up the last two Friday’s for me, where we have had HUGE climate change demonstrations. I unfortunately missed the first one, but I went last Friday and was blown away by the amount of people who turned up, the messaging they were sharing and also how many kids were there, fully present and staking their turf! It was amazing! I don’t know if any of you heard Greta Thunbergs speech to the U.N. But wowzer! When I heard it and heard her calling out the leaders of multiple countries, saying “I shouldn’t be up here. I should be back at school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you! You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.” HOLY HANNAH! The intensity and emotion in her voice – the hair on the back of my neck stood up. This is a young woman who is totally in touch with her Water element, as well as all the others!

To me Nature nurtures, having green space, clean water, being able to play outdoors is vital to me. How would you feel if that wasn’t there? We had lost over half of the animal species, there wasn’t fresh water unless you had the money and there were no forests, meadows or green spaces to explore? I can’t even imagine, but it is a possibility if we don’t make some changes.

This in turn brought a reading to mind by Edward Everett Hale:-

I am only one,

But still I am one.

I can’t do everything

But still I can do something.

And because I can’t do everything,

I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

We all need to be responsible for not only ourselves, but the planet we walk on, nature, our communities, our families and the random arsed person we encounter on the street. After all, whether you want to admit it or not – we are all connected.

Okay, I have chuntered on enough. So let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the cards to ask who would like to come to guide this week I laughed so hard when I saw who were most insistent. (In fact tea was snorted out of my nose – not that you needed to know that). The guides that chose you are the “Earth Warriors Oracle”, now if these guides are new to you, please – let me introduce them:-

“There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word “struggle” from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

Repeat the last 3 lines to yourself. Banish the word “struggle” from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Yes?

Woosah! Breathe that in.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are:- Rose Quartz – to remind us to not stuff the feelings, numb or avoid, but to feel and know your heart is strong. Orthoceras – which is a fossil (do you see the little fish in it), assists you in moving from the old to the new and to be receptive to the fresh, innovative forces that are available to you. Fossils can assist you in your quest for transition, transformation and personal growth, helping you to understand the process of change. Rhodonite – is a stone of compassion, an emotional balancer that clears away emotional wounds and scars from the past, and that nurtures love.

Ready? Let’s just come back to ourselves yes? Breathe long and deep. In through the nose and out through the mouth, just let yourself breathe back into your body. Feel your feet on the floor, your hands and fingers and the top of your head. Breathe. When you are ready, I invite you to bring the image of water into your minds eye. Is it flowing, is it blocked? How does it feel? No judgement, just witness. Then when you’re ready ask your wise inner self, what do you need to focus on with this element?

Did you pick?

Ready to go look?

CLAN OF THE WOLF HEART

You belong to the Clan of the Wolf Heart. This is a soul tribe, with boundaries beyond bloodlines and geography. It is based on soul connection to love’s wisdom and higher truths of Great Spirit. The Clan is united through Wolf medicine and the heart. These are the qualities of the Divine Feminine that unify, allowing for a palpable experience of oneness that brings power to our collective wisdom and purpose.

Reach out for help from others, whilst you honour and respect your individuality and your own unique life journey. Balance social time with taking care of your own individual needs, including the need for time out in solitude to hear your inner truths and renew yourself. Anger can be a sign from the soul, a sacred gift that asks you to deal with a situation, to bring about something different and more empowering. Use your anger as a sacred gift with compassion and clear purpose. Fight wholeheartedly when you need to safeguard what truly matters. Be open to a greater guiding wisdom so that you know when to be merciful and when to cut something off completely. Believe in the power of your inner voice, and do not silence yourself.

The howl of the wolf is primal and powerful. It is used to locate clan members or to define the boundaries of their territory to volves from outside of the pack. The howling wolf is medicine for standing your ground and defending that which is rightfully within your guardianship. If this strikes a note within you now, be aware that using your voice and energy to set boundaries and claim your space is important. The territory is not physical. That is the way of the ego. The territory is spiritual.

DADIRRI

You have an intuitive ability to recognise truths of the spirit. Dadirri is an Australian Aborginal term for the deep, spiritual practice of reflective and respectful listening. It is a deep listening for truth beyond physical words and their logical meaning. It is the way the shaman hears, with the soul.

Through the power of his or her own inner experiences, the shaman is able to create spiritual wisdom for the community, bringing balance and unity between the realm of Great Spirit and our Earth. As one who holds the potential power of the shaman, it is part of your soul journey to seek out deeper meaning, to never assume that the whole truth is revealed in what another says and, instead, to listen carefully – sometimes even for the truth evidenced in what is not being said, but being communicated in other ways. Others will naturally be drawn to you for counsel, but you must be sure that loving wisdom is the source through which your counsel is gleaned.

Part of the shamanic life path involves mastery over the extremes of existence. Energetic highs followed by crushing fatigue, feeling taxed beyond your limits of body and mind, perhaps even an experience of near-death or symbolic death of the personality, a profoundly challenging illness in body or mind, or a period of spiritual darkness which eventually leads you to a healing rebirth, these are all possible ways that the shamanic soul can progress through its training.

When it’s right for you, Great Spirit will bring you the necessary guides and teachers in the spiritual and the physical worlds, so that you can learn how to safely enter into and ground out of expanded states of awareness. This will increase your ability to hear and channel the messages of Great Spirit. Trust that your heart will recognise your true teachers – which will not always be those that claim to be your true teachers – as you participate fully in your unfolding journey with trust.

MAMA QUILLA

I, the Lunar Mother, bring you my Mandala of the Moon to manifest through the law of magnetic attraction. My mandala is the sacred portal through which your dreams, intentions and visions shall pass into the wholeness of being, from the realm of inspiration into the world of form on earth. There is no need for doubt or concern, for even the appearance of delay signifies that the divine feminine mystery is at work, with timing unfolding according to a higher, loving wisdom. Trust that what is falling away is meant to be, whilst you have faith in new divine works being born.

Relax with trust and positive expectations that all your needs will be met. This makes it easier for abundance to flow and all earthly and spiritual matters to fall into place according to a great and loving higher intelligence. Things are changing even if you cannot see the physical evidence of this as yet. Trust that your actions are leading you into a better way of life. Rely on the Universe and you shall see how all things come together according to a timing and higher order that suits you, in ways even better than you have imagined yourself.

Don’t resist the natural cycle of creation. This means accepting the symbolic night during which we cannot act, we cannot see, we have to rest and be patient, having faith that the day will dawn at the right time. So we do not insist that things manifest immediately according to our personal opinion about how, why, when and where. The Divine has a destiny intended for you. When you surrender, you are led into it.

Wowzer, wowzer. Well delicious lovely – Clan, Mastery and Luna. Seriously, you can’t make this shit up! I so love the cards and my guides. Okay, wishing you an amazing, frigging awesome week as we head into October. Pick up red leaves, play with water, breathe yourself back into your body, remember you are not alone and you are important and appreciated. Sending you massive hugs and squeezes. Warm soxs and cups of tea. See you next week!
