Crystal Therapy

New Moon in Pisces, New Energy, Mercury Retrograde and Practical Magic Abounds!

Jenny Heston · 1:11 am ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Marvelous, Manifesting, Majestic first Monday of March!  That’s right, March is here and Spring Equinox is coming (I’m so excited I love, love, love Spring Equinox).  I find it so fascinating that even if I didn’t know what day or month it was my body let’s me know, I can literally feel the Spring energy welling up and my mind has been filled with creating and planting seeds to harvest in the Fall.  Quite fascinating. In fact, one project that I have started is designing and creating a glorious garden and the minute I started sketching it out I found a massive Buddha head statue and 3 crazy cat statues on the side of the road! More on that next week once I get it figured out, let me just say it will be a magickal garden with Hawthorn’s, herbs and Big Intent!

Before we explore all the amazing deliciousness that is happening, I would like to say a huge thank you to all of you who have been writing and messaging me with regards to exploring the moons, equinoxes, rituals and seasons in more depth.  That got my juices burbling last week and my amazing magickal guides hopped into the mix and gave me an incredible download. Thus, all being well, I think we will have created something for you by the Equinox. Stay tuned!

Okay, let’s look at what is burbling.  First we have a new energetic theme for the month, Second, we have a glorious New Moon, and last but not least we have Mercury Retrograde!  (No, running for the closet, it’s all good – quite magickal in fact.)

March is bringing us some glorious new energy!  Shamanically the theme for this month is Next Step.  If you remember January was Clean it Up, February was Activation  and March is Next Step!  Are you ready?  

Let me share what Lena has to say:-   “ In taking that “next step”, we are also dealing with anxiety, fear, confusion and trusting the unknown.  We exit the month of February with lots of bits and pieces on our plate. Some are clear, some make no sense, some fit the puzzle, some don’t, some have come out of the blue creating sudden change, and some feel like road blocks with no clear solution……yet. There will be those of you that begin this month in a slight state of overwhelm and anxiety. Others will be excited about the possibilities and ready to launch into that next step. A lot was put into motion last month and some of it is just beginning to manifest.

The “next step” is on everyone’s mind. We all know that we are moving forward in some way. Some of you know exactly what that is and are chomping at the bit to get there already. But for many there are still unknowns, loose ends and gaps in clarity that may be producing anxiety, worry and fear. We know we are going somewhere, creating something new, we just do not have all the parts together yet, and the fear is that we will fail or be disappointed and unsuccessful in reaching our goals.

As we evolve, we are inevitably moving into a higher octave, a higher vibration, the upper room. But our fears are holding us back as we cling to what we know, as unsatisfying as that may be. There is no stopping the evolutionary process. It is like telling your hair or fingernails not to grow. The more you cling and hold back, the greater the possibility you will end up in depression and despair with blocked creativity and a feeling of stagnation.”  You can read more about this energy at her site.

We have a glorious New Moon on Wednesday 6th and this New Moon is in Pisces which invites us to expand and illuminate or be held back by our shadow side.  This is a moon from the transcendental realms. It holds the promise of a re-birth. It has a quality of merging the spiritual with the material. This is a moon to manifest the dream.  However, its negative expression could mean among others, a lack of will, not clear intentions and non-clarity in emotions. It could mean harboring unrealistic expectations from ourselves, subdued will or lessened vitality.  Which route would you rather pick? Personally I like the former far more! So most certainly take some time on Wednesday, light a candle and write out your New Moon wishes. If you are stuck as to how to do this, check out the post on New Moon wishes here.

Added to the energy of Next Step and the delicious New Moon in Pisces we have Mercury Retrograde!  Whoot, whoot!  (Can you say, hold onto your bloomers?)  This is the perfect time to really take the time to investigate some of the leftovers from the past.  Now what do I mean by that? Let’s say every time you think of your sister there is a resentment about something she did or didn’t do.  Therefore this resentment is taking up space in your head and heart, holding energy blocked instead of allowing it to flow. Time to let that puppy go and welcome your own energy back clear, clean and fresh.  So if you experience any “tweakiness” during this retrograde take a moment to look at if it’s coming from outside of you or from inside. If it’s yours and it’s holding old energy that can be better used in the present day.  Let it Go!

Can you say it is a yummy delicious time for creating and manifesting? Huzzah!

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”.  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  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 insisted on participating are Malachite, Rhodochrosite and Chrysocolla.  Oh yes, and the little mollusks and shells wanted to participate as well!  So let’s begin shall we?

Take a moment to breathe yourself back into your body, feel your feet on the floor and your spine lengthening to the sky.  Breathe into all the little hidden corners that sometimes get forgotten. As you breathe ask the question of what is your next step.  Just breathe that in and let it settle in your minds eye, and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a little lookie see shall we?

INITIATION

When you are being spiritually initiated into the mysteries of light, love and power, there are moments of deep challenge.  The key is to find the light within the challenge – the learning, growth or wisdom that can be summoned to turn the challenge into an opportunity for healing.  Initiation will occur at various stages. Sometimes your entire life will feel like an initiation, at other times specific areas will be flowing easily whilst others re deeply challenging.  Please know you are not needlessly suffering. If you can find the light within the struggles, tests or challenges that face you now, you will experience breakthrough healing.

As an Initiate, honour life as a gift and treat any challenge or pressure as a way for you to grow into a brighter and purer light capable of great spiritual service on this planet.  That spiritual service includes growing an ability to be able to love freely and beyond limits, to love with courage and faith.

In fact initiation for you now, dear one, is an opening to new levels of power and peace, self-possession and love.  There are such sweet fruits waiting for you at the top of the tree you are currently climbing. It may seem as though you are in barren land at times with little hope, nourishment or encouragement, yet your spiritual oasis is not far away!  The Lady Isis and the Power of Ra together are helping you grow. Stay focused on the Lady and Her love for you and you shall pass through the desert of the Initiation unharmed and deeply transformed.

STAY TRUE AND BE IN YOUR POWER

The Flail and Crook, often held by Osiris, are symbols of Divine royalty and dominion.  These symbols remind us that within we hold great dominion, spiritual authority and freedom to be the sovereign ruler of our own Self.  This does not mean that we have to control life or others or even the environment around us, but it does give us complete and utter choice to become as spiritually awake, free, and self-determined as we wish to be, as well as providing us with complete choice as to what our values and actions will be this lifetime.  

There is no permission required from anyone, apart from yourself, to be and live your truth!  There are many voices that will test you on the journey from illusory shackles of fear, loss or abandonment that may hold you back or tempt you into giving your power away to others.  You shall awaken from the testing into the realisation of spiritual independence within.

You have the power to create and own your reality and you don’t need permission from anyone else to do this.  Honour your spiritual sovereignty, let the lady Isis help you find your spiritual authority and freedom of choice now.  Seeking to hand over any responsibility for your own well being to another can be a tricky and ultimately self-destructive path, even though it may seem to start off as a relief of stress about some concern or other.  You are guided to exercise care and discernment about any issue that feels like it is compromising your sense of self and personal power. That issue is a Soul healing trying to happen. Look within and see if you can grow through it in some way.  There is much self-confidence trying to emerge from within you!

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.

Well delicious lovely, that was positively scrummy!  Initiation (perfect for Spring and rebirth), Being in Your own Power (perfect place to be in Mercury retrograde) and Magick and Ritual (need I say more with Equinox coming up?)  I so love the cards and my guides, love, love, love them! Wishing you a glorious week of New Moon wishes, spring flowers, cheerful daffodils and cutting any cords or ties that bind you to old energy.  Oh yes, and gobs and gobs of toasted hot cross buns slathered with butter! See you next week, remember to look for the magick, and thank you so much for all your glorious messages, I truly treasure and appreciate them!

Spring is Coming! What does Belonging look like? Where Does Your Voice Live?

Jenny Heston · 2:00 am ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Marvelous, Mystical, Melodious, Merry, Magnanimous, Majestic Monday!  I don’t know about you but I have a bit of a feeling of “OMG February is almost over!” This month seems to have just whizzed by, don’t you think?  It just seems to be a tad of a blur of celebrations, snow and grey clouds, most interesting. However, with February passing by so quickly you know what that means?  Spring is Coming!!!! Whoot! Whoot!

Okay, I have a couple of questions for you this week that have been coming up in conversations with clients, friends and random strangers and they may appear heavy, but they actually aren’t.  

So let me ask you the first one.  Where do you Belong?  Where is the place, the space the whatever that really makes you feel like you Belong?  Now you maybe thinking to yourself, Jenny that’s a rather unusual question, but it really isn’t.  A few weeks ago we explored why the Ancestral DNA industry is booming and that’s because in our society that is more connected than ever via technology, we are more disconnected than ever from each other.  Most families don’t live in the same town, let alone the same country!

So let’s go back to the question of where do you Belong?

On Friday, I went to a talk given by Toka pa Turner, who has written the book Belonging is a Skill and she spoke of how, as we are growing up, we estrange pieces of ourselves to “fit in”.  I call this trying to put a square peg in a round hole. She then went on to say that when we reach adulthood we find a group, an organisation, friends or whomever that we resonate with and really feel like we “Belong” and then for one reason or another we are ousted, there is a grief, a loss – where do we Belong?  Many of us have experienced that pain whether it is in our family (if we chose to do or be different, our church, our spiritual group, even in a Yoga class!)  Toka pa recommends that we pull all those pieces back to us that we have estranged or distanced ourselves from to become whole and Belong to ourselves first and foremost.  In other words we Belong to Ourselves, that we become complete packages instead of searching for the piece that is missing. (Have to admit it reminded me a tad of people who post on dating websites “Looking for someone to complete me!)  

I found this fascinating as, with a big move and in a new place, I too have wondered where I belong.  I have been trying different groups, churches, organisations, events and all sorts. Some meet my need of “Belonging” and others, not so much, however the interesting thing is that I don’t feel unwelcome or alone.  In fact what I have realised (very similar to high school), I Belong in a plethora of groups and as long as I feel that I Belong in my body and in my own home.  Life is good. So where do you Belong?

The next question that came up this past while is “Where Does Your Voice Live?”  Now if your response is “Duh, Jen it lives in my throat, my vocal cords, geesh!”  I have an invitation for you, “Does it”?  

For myself I always thought that my voice was in my writing, in the things I created, in my home and on the side of the soccer pitch.  It wasn’t really heard many other places. My voice could be seen in the gardens I would create to express something inside, or maybe in a piece of healing jewelry I had created for a client or friend, it could be heard in the stories that I created for my kids as they drifted off to sleep, or in a piece of writing.  But didn’t that mean that my voice lived in my heart, head and hands and not so much in my throat?

This got me to exploring the throat chakra a tad more, as to me this is the glorious melting pot where creativity, self will and love pool with intuition and divine guidance and then emit out loud for all and sundry to hear.  I then talked to artists, makers, creators, speakers, healers, numb people and asked them where their voice lived in them. Is it just one spot, or can it be a plethora of spots. A lovely woman I met, who has a line of work that she thoroughly enjoys,  says that her voice is in her Yoni and her throat, but not in her heart or mind. Fair enough!

For myself, as I explore getting out of my comfort zone by joining a female acapella group (and apparently there is a concert in 4 weeks!), drumming and putting myself in front of groups of people I have never met before (which can be a delicious invitation for my introverted self to go hide in a closet).  I have found that my voice is in my heart, my creativity, my hands, my mind, my throat and my body.  So slowly and surely how I share my voice the deep inner piece of me is slowly coming out through fairly much every piece of me, which is really exciting, but in a way terrifying!  Interestingly enough our “choir” leader threw a new song at us on Sunday and my whole being went “Ahhhhhh” when I read the lyrics and I haven’t been able to stop singing it since.

Here’s the first verse:  “From our lips we are echo and mountain, In our eyes we are sacred and sun, By the grace of our hands, we’re the flame and the dance, In our hearts we are rhythm and drum.”

So let me ask again – Where Does Your Voice Live?  And how does this shape where you Belong?

Okay so I have most certainly chuntered on long enough, so with all that being said let’s crack on with the reading.  

When I asked the cards and guides who wanted to come and share this week I laughed when I saw it was The Oracle of the Divine Circus.   The reason I laughed is these glorious guides are playful, but deep.  They think outside the box and invite you to do the same. If you have never met these glorious guides, please let me introduce you.  “What is life if not a Divine Circus?  Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us  moment earlier. Life is magical, thrilling, sometimes strange and even scary. It can inspire you and touch your soul, inviting you to discover the unique magic within you, to dare to live it, to express it, to play with possibilities and embrace what sets you apart from the crowd. “

The crystals that came to play wiggled and woggled and jumped out as did the lavender (interesting).  We have Morganite – It cleanses the emotional body of stress and anxiety, old wounds and hidden traumas, and enkindles lightness within the spirit, as if a burden has been lifted, Blue Apatite – increase your appetite for life, Kyanite – by clearing the energy blocks clogging your fifth chakra, blue kyanite permits a better flow of energy to assist in self-expression and communication.   The wand at the top is Selenite which cleanses and amplifies.  

There is a glorious visualisation to tune up all your chakras, however, if that doesn’t resonate for you.  All good, just take a glorious deep breath in through your nose and sigh it out through your mouth. As you breathe this way for a minute or two I invite you to see right at the base of your throat where your collar bone joins, a glorious pool of clear blue water.  See the levels and layers, see your voice in this glorious pool and breathe it in. See where your voice expresses itself in your body and then when you are ready, invite your voice whether it is is in your hands, heart, throat etc to pick the card or cards that resonate for you.  Yes?

Let’s go.

Did you remember to pick?

 

Then let’s go have a look, yes?

CROWN OF THE BUTTERFLY BAMBINI

Just as nature imbues the butterfly with an innate ability for radical transformation, so too do you have natural instincts within, guiding you to grow in dramatic, utterly life-changing ways.  Progress is your perfection. Growth is your attainment. Do you shun what you have been or mistakes you have made? Or instead, do you wear your ability for transformation as a sacred crown of power?  

Transformation is an ability, an art, a sacred power.  It requires an ability to go through the death of an old self, to be reborn again. That death might be an identity, a lifestyle or career, or an inner sense of self that no longer seems enough to truly reflect who you are becoming.

It requires both strength and flexibility, to be like bamboo, to bend without breaking.  Are you willing to let go of what you have known, who you have been, without judging it, except to understand that you are outgrowing your past and becoming your future in this very moment?  This takes great courage whilst flexibility of mind allows you to believe there are other possibilities in this life beyond what you have already experienced. The strength gives you enough courage to bear the loss of the known and the terror of the unknown, perhaps even turning that terror into excitement for what may be.  

Don’t dream small dreams, for you are capable of far more dramatic and colourful creations.  Trust in the magnificence of what you are becoming, the expression of the transformational intelligence and power within you.

DUKE OF SHADOWS

Cunningly clever am I, helping you discern the truth from the lie.  I remind you that half truths may seem to be whole, yet in the shadows is information yet to be known.  When the time is right, the light shall be bright, and confusion will give way to understanding.

You are being invited to be patient.  This is a cautionary card, not to inspire concern, but rather to inspire curiosity.  There is more to a situation, person, opportunity, or even an apparent absence of activity or success, than meets the eye.  You could imagine it being like the universe has another card up its sleeve and is yet to show its full hand. A process has been set in motion but is “under the radar” of your awareness.  Something is happening, even if that doesn’t appear to be the case. But just like a seed starts to grow into a plant, deep in the earth, apparently invisible and yet very real, you are being subjected to invisible but real forces of growth and healing at this time.  

Because you cannot know what you don’t know, you will need to wait for more information to come to you.  So if what you see, sense or feel is negative right now, don’t believe it! Things are going to shift and change and there will be a surprising twist in your life.  Though you don’t see it coming, another piece of your life puzzle is going to reveal itself soon. It will help solve a difficulty or question you have been holding in your heart.

OUT OF DARKNESS

Something that has been troubling you, something dark within you or in your life, is about to become something else.  You won’t see it coming, but when the time is right (and it soon will be), out of darkness will come new life. A seed of new life is growing.  Perhaps you cannot see it or feel it because the seed begins its journey to new life in the darkness, hidden, away from sight and away from light.  This seed is destined to bring new life to a situation that might seem to be dying, a fresh perspective to a stale problem.

When the time is right – and that is fast approaching – the seed will push through, rise up and reveal itself.  It will no longer be just a seed, but a shoot that will grow into a plant and can then flower and bear fruit. It is not a question of whether or not it is going to happen.  It is going to happen. It is just a matter of time. Whatever struggle or challenge is in your life or your heart right now, trust that it is going to work out. Not only that, but the very thing that seems to be darkest in your life, the most troublesome, is actually going to be what brings forth a beautiful gift of new life.

In a strange way, it is actually trying to help you.  It is assisting you in being ready to receive and experience new life, for something new to be born in you and in your life.  This might be the realisation of your own inner strength, your courage, the development of belief in yourself, confidence to trust your instincts or some other gift yet to be understood.

In time, you’ll see that those gifts – developed in order to get through the darkness – helped you step out of the darkness and into a whole new life.  Soon you’ll see there was an opportunity and even a blessing hiding in the troubles of your past, just waiting for the right time to transform itself into light and life.

Well delicious lovely, wishing you such a glorious week of exploring where you Belong and to whom, possibly.  And most certainly as we head into March, and Spring approaching with the upward thrust of energy and growth, using and finding your voice and allowing it to be expressed throughout everything you do, think, create, be, say, touch. Sending you sunbeams, daffodils and big hugs.  See you next week!

 

What to do with Discontent and how Super Full Moon in Virgo can help!

Jenny Heston · 1:02 am ·

Happy, happy Magnificent, Magickal, Marvelous, Manifesting, Majestic, Mischievous, Merry Monday!!!

The sun is out and the sky is blue – it makes me super happy, doobie doo, doobie doo!  My pansies are positively perking their little heads up which is a delight to see as I thought that with the bitter cold, massive snow and blowing winds they had perished (as they looked exceptionally sad), but they are rallying and reaching their gorgeous little faces towards the lovely warm sun we have been getting for the last few days.  Whoot!

Remember how at the beginning of the month we explored the Shamanic theme of ACTIVATION?  How are you doing with this?  

The other day I was talking with a client and she was totally bent out of shape, discontent was running rampant through her thoughts and emotions and there was that “itchy” feeling linked to not feeling comfortable in her own physical body.  As she shared, it reminded me of what Lena had talked about at the beginning of this month. “Let’s talk about the discontent. There is an aggravated energy that is pushing us towards conflict or breakthrough, new insights and new solutions, and moving us through our discontent and maybe even anger. You must remember to accept this as an important energy that creates the necessary friction for a spark to take place that ignites a circumstance that creates a window for something new to happen and a resolution to be found.”

Okay, so hold that thought about discontent for a moment as we explore the Full Moon.

This month’s full moon is a glorious Super Moon in Virgo, also known as the Snow Moon and she comes with all her glory on Tuesday, February 19th.  “This Super Full Moon is potent as it falls at zero degrees of Virgo. Zero is the number of potential and limitless opportunities. Zero is the blank canvas of all creation, signaling that this Full Moon is really going to offer infinite potential.  This full moon is going to help us realise our potential and also the potential around us, it is also going to open us, broaden our horizons, and encourage us to open our minds and hearts to something beyond our current reality.”  (Read that again, okay?)

“Creativity and inspiration are key words for this full moon and we need to give our imagination some room to play and dream. We can put off the organization of details as we remind ourselves that life is not all seriousness and growth. There needs to be time for the inner child to express through creativity without any attachment to a specific goal.

The needs for expansion, adventure and expression are alive and well and should be acknowledged as allies during this time. Any resistance you have to a little chaos should be let go on an exhale. Take a break, do something fun, give your creativity an outlet and share your gratitude and inspiration with others. With that said, it is also good to make a plan for organizing the details and giving some structure to what comes from imagination, inspiration and creativity.”

Thus, I have an invitation for you.  What if you took any discontent you are feeling it and instead of focusing on the discontent you used that energy to really, really fuel your passions and creativity?  What would happen? Wouldn’t that be a far better way to utilise it? Now you may be thinking – Jenny, easier said than done, but let’s try a little exercise. Think of those pockets of discontent (with no judgement attached), write them down on the left hand side of a piece of paper.  Yes? Now reframe them to a positive and write those on the right hand side of the paper. So for example if an area of discontent were physical body and feeling blaugh and tired – reframe it to something you enjoy i.e. “I love walking in the woods or through the meadows, stretching my legs and filling my lungs up with fresh air.”  Capeche?

For myself, one of my passions is gardening and growing things.  However, with all the snow we have had and most everything getting cancelled I was getting pretty grumpy about the fact that my inner green thumb needed an outlet to play in.  So, on Saturday there was a huge “Seedy Saturday” held at the Convention Centre here, the place was filled with plants, seeds, workshops, bees, honey and you could even rent a chicken!  My friend Marja and I went and explored and bought little brown packets of unusual seeds, ogled the bees, picked up literature pertaining to gardening with native plants and I grabbed a huge bundle of lavender that you can cook with.  When we got home with our treasure trove of promise we made a plan as to who would grow what and we would share, that way we both ended up with twice as many different plants. We then took the lavender and a shed ton of lemons (which is more than a truck load) and made 9 (yes 9!) lavender lemon pound loaves with a simple syrup of lemon and lavender.  Oh My Goddess!!!!  Divine, delicious, decadent, delightful and scrumdelicious!  So by using the energy of my discontent and funnelling it towards my passion it has set all sorts of wheels in motion and planning galore!  (Oh yes, and a great desire to have bees but not rent a chicken!)

So with the divine energy of this wonderful Super Moon in Virgo I invite you to play with the exercise above and when you have finished the reframe, take the left side of the paper (the discontent blurps), light a candle and burn the paper.  Offer it up to become cosmic compost and welcome in the intentional energy of creation, activation and inspiration. Are you game?

Okay, enough chuntering from me, let’s dance over to the reading.  When I went to my cards and asked who wanted to come support, guide and inspire the Oracle of Shadow and Light did a delightful tap dance to grab my attention.  Now, if these guides are new to you, let me briefly introduce you:-  “Bittersweet, Unheard, Unconventional, Rebellious, Cheeky, Whimsical, Invisible….. They’re not 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 come and consult with guides who acknowledge your individuality and strange genius!”

Positively perfect guides for the energy of this week.  When I asked the crystals who wanted to join in it didn’t surprise me to see Black Moonstone – a powerful connector to the Divine Feminine, Brecciated Jasper – a wonderful grounding stone and helps with physical strength and vitality and last but not least, Moonstone – mystery, self discovery and the Goddess.

Okay, I invite you to take a moment or two just for you.  Breathe in long and deep through your nose and out through your mouth.  As you feel your shoulders settle, your jaw relax and your breathing lengthen invite in the question of passion.  What are you passionate about? What can you reframe from discontent to passion? Let that energy flood up and when you are ready pick the card or cards that tug at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a little look see?

PINK LOTUS FAIRY

You may love your guilt-free rants, staying up too late, and happily behaving badly, but you’re about to balance all that out with some very powerful new spiritual teachings and connections.

You are to meet a wise one who seems very still, very slow, and very peaceful.  She will be tranquil and serene and immersed in a path that until now has felt too slow, or “foreign,” for you.  But this teacher, who is represented by the Pink Lotus Fairy, will assist you in finding more of your soul’s true wisdom.  Within this time of inner discovery, you will commit to disciplined new training in the mental realms: study and physical movement that is unfamiliar to you, all of which helps you to naturally choose thoughts that are empowering and enlivening, yet completely authentic and real.  You will learn to be still and to listen to the beat of your heart without giving in to restlessness, or the critical voice inside, or the cliches the ego loves to trip you up with.

After you have learned more discipline through peaceful practice of meditation or exercise or mantras, you will nurture yourself more willingly, without guilt, and you will have returned to a place of tranquility, self-love and peace.  You will bring into balance your own shadows and light. Don’t worry – you will be happier and more peaceful, but you won’t be boring! You could never be!

MARIE MASQUERADE

Marie is very much like the famed Queen of France Marie Antoinette.  She is stylish and delightful, always finding new and fascinatingly creative ways to amuse herself.  Wherever she is, there is decadence and style, truly glamorous moments, and lavish entertainments. But even she knows she is simply amusing herself and that there is a hole t the center of her being where she wishes she were loved for who she truly is and could rely only on her talent and style to express herself, and not be judged for this.  To be her friend is no problem at all as long as you remain truly yourself. Only, being with her has somehow made you wish to be more like her. Look beneath the mask, and the beauty, and the exquisite stylings, and see into her heart. Be her friend, and be her companion, but never forget who you are, and what is important to you.

Someone is about to invite you to be involved in something very intriguing.  And this person will ask you in ways that are ever so charming, so the temptation will be ever so strong.  Because this person is beautiful, and talented, and powerful, you are flattered! But the truth is, you run the risk of paying a very high price for this brush with fame or glory.  Be sure that the politics and the intrigues are ones you truly wish for in your life – because there is often a sacrifice that must be made, and many consequences are currently hidden from you.  It is tempting, no doubt. But it may not be within your best interests to pursue this strange, slightly tainted offer that will be made.

Be true to your own vision as opposed to what is currently fashionable and considered desirable.  Creating, rather than following.

ANGEL OF ALCHEMY

The Angel of Alchemy is the miracle who stands between the physician and death – she is the powerful healing angel who will resolve this health issue that is confronting you at this present time.  Her role is to help you to find the perfect treatment for your body and to restore your well-being naturally and healthfully. She will draw on powerful energy from her heart chakra, which will be sent to you and which can revive your energy and your belief in the possibility of your perfect health.  She will help you to find the courage to face physical life, for it is that which has overwhelmed you from time to time. The sheer courage it takes to experience life in a physical form is that which she is here to help support you in – and to show you that not only does it take great courage, it brings the greatest of all blessings.

As she says: “I am here to help you make  miraculous shift in your body and your health.  Whether you have an injury or an illness or simply feel ill at ease within the form you currently have, I am the Angle of Alchemy and I can show you how to change your current experience of physicality.  I stand here and have done so for many thousands of years. I have seen the fear and the guilt of others. I have seen the fear of infection, the anguish of pain, and the despair at life seeming to end. But I am here with you now to show you how to create health, and strength, and how to stop being so frightened of growing older and having times when your body will challenge you.  

All will be well, and all this will pass. This form is just one of many you will create. Let me show you how to live anew, with love and health.”

Wow, some very powerful messages this week.  So my delicious lovely, remember to use the energy of this glorious Full Moon on Tuesday to really focus on what you want to create, to ignite your desires and passions.  Ask yourself and your inner wise voice “What do I really want?” Write your list of releases and desires, light a candle – give yourself the time to filter and listen. Have a stupendous week and wishing you lavender lemon loaves galore, time to create and huge connection to yourself and the Divine.  Big hugs and squeezes and see you next week!

DNA, Ancestors, Love is in the Air and Random Acts of Kindness!

Jenny Heston · 1:10 am ·

Happy Most, ‘Mazing, Marvelous, Magnificent, Magickal, Mellow, Majestic, Manifesting, Monday!  (yes, ‘mazing is now a word!)

My pansies have perished and my snowdrops have shrivelled!  The other week I mentioned that it was colder than normal here, but Holy Mary Mother of God!  We got snow (yes, real snow which apparently they don’t really get hear, thus they aren’t used to it) and it was fascinating to watch what happened.  People wouldn’t leave their houses, hardly anyone had a snow shovel and drivers kept driving as if it wasn’t snowy (positively terrifying to watch!) Then after the snow, in blew Arctic Winds up to 60-90km (have to say I love the sound of the wind howling around outside and down the chimney) and everything turned to ice!  Ah well, thankfully my truck has snow tires and snow doesn’t bother me, it’s just the people who have no clue what to do that cause me a tad of consternation.

Over the last week I have had to remind myself we are still in Winter, even though inside my body is a wiggly-ness towards Spring!  Which is no surprise at all, with Imbolc having happened (an invitation to plant the seeds), New Moon (another invitation to plant seeds), Chinese New Year, Eclipse energy (remember it perks for about 6 months) and Activation – need I say more?.  So there’s this weird discombobulation between the external (snow and ice outside, still Winter) and the internal (wanting to rush forth, create, blossom and find the light again!)

This got me to thinking, Winter is the element of Earth, it’s the dirt, the bones, the stones, the ancestors.  It’s the season where we pull inward, nourish ourselves and find the internal stories. So the other day as I was walking with a friend, we started talking about ancestry, heritage, lineage and DNA tests. Did you know that the whole DNA and Ancestry industry is booming? Which is good but not so good at the same time.  Research has shown that various companies that demand a high fee for this DNA/Ancestor report don’t have the data to support what they provide you with. There was a great report done by two identical twin reporters who submitted their DNA to 2 organisations and both places came back with these women weren’t related at all and the data they provided for each was so random.  So why are people opting for these tests at a huge rate and at considerable expense? Good question! So I went and did some digging and talked to various organisations etc and it turns out that with our society being rather fragmented and disconnected, there is a lot of social isolation and a massive sense of disconnect. So people are looking, searching and desperate to find out where they came from and what that means.  It’s a way of giving oneself a sense of belonging and connection. Because if you think about it as a culture on the whole, we have lost the oral tradition where stories were passed down through the generations and memories were shared. I count myself as very fortunate as I can go back at least 10 generations in my family of origin. A huge part of that was due to my Great Aunts sharing stories and memories, and also due to various other relatives doing a lot of digging and then sharing the information.  

The other night when the snow was flooding down and the winds were whipping it each and every way I stood and watched the snowflakes dance from side to side in the lamp light outside.  As I watched, rather mesmerised a verse from one of the songs that I need to learn for the Acapella group that I just joined flooded to mind:-

Listen more often to things than to beings,

Listen more often to things than to beings,

‘Tis the ancestors’ breath when the fire’s voice is heard,

‘Tis the ancestors’ breath in the voice of the water.

Those who have died have never never left

The dead are not under the earth.

They are in the rustling trees,

They are in the groaning woods.

They are in the crying grass,

They are in the moaning rocks.

The dead are not under the earth.

This song comes from Birago Diop’s poem “Breaths” where we are reminded of the continuum of the invisible world of spirit, man, and the visible world of nature existing along a continuum and forming an organic reality.  Personally, I find that rather comforting to know I’m not alone, I’m part of the whole.

So as I was lying in bed last night I invited in my ancestors, all of the ones that I know of and those before them and asked them to come into my dream space.  It was very cool! I felt sooo loved, held, supported and guided. Connected.  

How much of your ancestry do you know of?  Do you feel called to get a DNA/Ancestry test?

Well if that was a tad heavy for you (as I know it can be triggering for some) to explore the past.  Let’s look at Love is in the Air, yes, this week we have Valentine’s Day!  Now, I want you to keep in mind that originally Valentine’s Day had nothing to do with romantic love (seriously).  But thanks to Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century when the tradition of courtly love flourished, it started turning that way.  In 18th-century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending handmade greeting cards (known as “valentines”).   There is also the tale of Saint Valentine of Rome who was imprisoned for marrying soldiers, who were forbidden to marry, and ministering to Christians who were persecuted under the Roman Empire. According to legend, during his imprisonment Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge, and before his execution he wrote her a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell.  

Even though this holiday is associated with “romantic love” I invite you to practice some self love.  Do something delicious and delightful for yourself, no matter how small.  Take yourself on a lunch date, have a glorious bubble bath, buy a bunch of flowers for yourself, pack yourself a heart shaped sandwich.  A little something to remind yourself that you are loved, and that you love you. Yes? Every Valentines I get those brown paper lunch bags, decorate the heck out of them, fill them with sweeties, daft riddles and jokes, funky pencils and all sorts of random stuff and each of the kids gets one.  Our food is normally heart shaped as well! (Trust me a heart shaped burger is a beauty to behold) and we normally have a heart shaped Pavlova covered in cream, fresh berries and grated chocolate. So whether it is romantic love, familial love, pet love or friend love that you are celebrating this year.  Please remember to start with you first, okay, connect with you!  Because in case you need a reminder, you are deliciously, delightful and so very, very loved!

So with the image of your glorious ancestors and love now in your mind, let’s look at the fact it’s Random Acts of Kindness Week!  (I love, love, love RAOK!)  So this is a beautiful invitation to get out of your head and into your heart and do something random for someone else and no, you don’t even have to know them.  I have left little love notes in random post boxes, paid for coffee for someone who is going to come in and needs one, driven little old ladies and their groceries home – you name it.  Think of a couple of things that you can do that won’t stress you out and do them. As in the Witches world, everything comes back thrice fold. So what do you feel you could do? It could be uber simple as in lifting your head up when walking and smiling at everyone, telling someone they look awesome, touching a random strangers arm as you talk.  Get creative and just play with it, remember it’s not meant to be a chore, more like paying it forward, sharing and CONNECTING!

Okay, now I have waffled on for what may seem like forever, let’s get on with the reading!  (I’ve been perking a different way of sharing all the glorious events, celebrations, seasons etc with you that is separate, but more on that later).  When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide this week I nearly snorted tea out of my nose when “The Earth Warriors Oracle” were more than adamant to be front and centre.  This has been a shy and rather reticent deck when it comes to public readings, so this is very cool.  If this deck is new to you, please let me introduce them to you. “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.”

Seriously, I can’t make this stuff up even if I tried.  Wow.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled were very interesting.  Dallasite – which is effectively a personal brainstorming stone, representing purity of heart, gentleness of spirit, kindness without ulterior motive.  Smoky Quartz – this is an amazing stone for grounding, leaving behind baggage and surrendering.  Last but not least, an Orthoceras – which is a fossil (do you see the little fish in it), assist 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.

I have to say I was tickled to see Dallasite pop up as apparently when I walk the beach each morning and pick up a stone for me and one for my sister, I have picked up 10 raw Dallasites for her!

Okay, let’s settle and ground shall we?  I have created a visualisation to help with this, but if that’s not your gig, all good.  I invite you to put both feet on the floor, earth, snow and if you are able stand up tall.  Really allow your spine to stretch up to the heavens, whilst your feet stay anchored to earth and just Breathe.  Breathe in through your nose and sigh it out through your mouth. Allow anything to drop to the earth and allow your ancestors to come whisper to you, stories of love, kindness and connection.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that are yours.

https://www.jennyheston.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/ancestor-vidualisation-1.m4a

Did you pick?

Let’s go have a look see shall we?

TOTEMIC PUMA

I am Puma, I awaken within you the vigorous energy, fierce power and ability to act without hesitation when the moment is right.  My patience and strategy, my preparation and precision, my fearlessness and decisiveness are now your own. Allow my sacred medicine to fill your soul and bring courage to your heart.  You have come into your power.

You’ve got this.  Don’t let fear or hesitation hold you back.  Apply yourself fully to the task. Let go of old ways of viewing yourself as incapable, scattered or wasteful of energy.  You have the ability to focus intently, to generate clear intention, and to achieve your ambitions through methodical steps and an applied will.  You have the internal resources you need for successful completion. Even if no one else recognises your potential and believes in your future success, in due course they will understand differently.

Puma moves through your soul as guardian and guide.  When Puma appears, it is a significant sign that you have come into your power.  Puma moves with stealth and silence. You may wonder if this sounds much like you.  You may consider yourself to be – at least sometimes – more of a doubter than one prone to fearlessness and certainty.  Yet the soul medicine of Puma builds within us silently. WE may not even realise that her power is there, until all of a sudden, when it is needed, we act with unerring focus and unwavering commitment.  

This right use of power – surrendered to the Divine – will help you overcome your reluctance and lay claim to your will.  You need your will to transform inspiration into action. The world truly needs this from you. Whatever it is that you dream of attaining or desire to do in this world, Puma arrives with this message – you have the power.  

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 thn 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 o 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.   

PACHA KARMAQ

You are granted the gifts of fertility, creativity and earthly abundance to support all needs – for nourishing body, mind and soul and to to live your life fully and be capable of manifesting your divine purpose.  Give yourself permission to be nourished. This includes your body and also providing your heart, your mind, your soul with what they are hungry for – meaning, sweetness, divine love and permission to be authentic.  When you feed yourself that which truly nourishes you, wisely and generously, you shall become one who can also feed the world that for which it ruly hungers.

Explore and experiment with nutritional wisdom which suits your body at this time  Understand that it may change over time. Remember that caring for the needs of your body is more important and spiritually mature than trying to force your body to meet the expectations of a belief system outside of yourself.  Don’t starve yourself of what you need on any level of your being, including, peace, solitude, love, time spent in spiritual communion, artistic expression and nutrition. Answers are coming for your questions about all forms of nourishment, including nutrition, so do not give up when you are so close to finding your way.  

Finding what works for you can only happen as you begin to listen to your body, to your mind and your soul, listening as if your spirit were  caring and wise parent. As we recondition ourselves to listen rather than demand, we tap into the healing guidance of the Divine Feminine dwelling within us.  

Well my delicious lovely, I hope you heard the message for you and are paying attention! I would like to express my love and thanks for all your glorious messages, emails and comments!  Wishing you a glorious week of inviting your ancestors (whether known or not) into your space and connecting, touching into the earth, the bones, the stones and the crystals, massive love for you and yours, and random acts of kindness.  Remember, if we all connect on this level, wowzers! Think about the change and transformation for self, family, community and globally that would happen! Eat something sweet, treat yourself well, smile at a random person or even give them a hug!  Massive hugs and squeezes for you and see you next week.

New Moon, Chinese New Year, Activation Energy, and Imbolc just happened!

Jenny Heston · 1:03 am ·

Happy Miraculous, Magickal, Majestic, Mellow, Momentous, Mystical, Merry, Mischievous, Marmalade Made Manifesting Monday!  (Had to slip Marmalade in as for me marmalade on a glorious piece of fresh bread toasted – nom, nom, nom!)

I don’t know about you, but my goodness the temperature plummeted here yesterday, so it was a tad cold to say the least whilst trying to get 10km in prior to my first Acapella rehearsal!  There were even fat, luscious snow flakes and everyone was talking about “the snow” (forecasted 2cm lol). What with the wind and the moisture from the ocean it seeps into your bones (time to break out the long underwear I think!)  Well, with that visual imagery in your head let’s talk about what’s happening this week!

This week, oh my goodness there is tons to talk about, tons, tons, tons!  (I am so wiggly I would put a Labrador puppy to shame!)

Okay, on Friday we had Imbolc, did you have a chance to tap into Imbolc at all?  I have to admit that my energy in the afternoon was that of “not a happy camper”, more like that of “an angry truck driver”, a weird discontent was flooding through.  So I used the ritual of washing the floors in my home with rosemary, lemon, geranium and sage to release the old and welcome in the new Spring energy. I then unwound the old energy with smudge and smudged in a new energy, I picked a vase of snowdrops, did some Yoga, made delicious food, lit a fire and a plethora of blessing candles and then curled up in front of the fire and wrote!  It was quite delicious! And it helped relieve that discontent and fear energy. Then on Saturday (which many call Candlemas) to lock it in I went “forest bathing” as my lovely friend Renee calls it, which is a phrase I love. I personally call it “green therapy”. So hours in old growth coastal woods, drinking in the sights of huge ferns as tall as me, trees bedecked in bright green moss and a hike out to a glorious point where the waves made the rocks reverberate underneath my feet and the sound of sea lions filled the air (let alone the fat seals languorously flipping in circles in the water).  It was absolutely Divine and like a massive soul balm!!!

Shamanically, the energy has shifted for February into ACTIVATION. If you remember December was CHAOS, then January was CLEAN IT UP  and now it’s ACTIVATION time.  I remember as a kid watching older episodes of Dr. Who with the Dalek’s and when they got all excited they would holler (in robotic voices) “Activate, Activate, Activate!”  But what does this shift in energy all mean? I am going to let Lena explain it as she is most certainly the expert on the Shamanic energy:- “It is the energy of a spark, of ignition, of a burst of creativity or destruction. It is a month of passion, friction that causes change, and the adjustment necessary to re-balance and re-group. There is movement and action, and the need to channel this energy constructively for new insights, motivation and productivity.

Emotional discontent fuels the impulse, the friction and the desire for change.  It is a time when reconnecting with your passion is not only possible but advisable. What have you denied yourself? The need for adventure this year becomes an ally and the passion mode takes hold. Fortunately, we also have some very grounded aspects that will help tame this potentially volatile energy from frying everything in its path.

Let’s talk about the discontent. There is an aggravated energy that is pushing us towards conflict or breakthrough, new insights and new solutions, and moving us through our discontent and maybe even anger. You must remember to accept this as an important energy that creates the necessary friction for a spark to take place that ignites a circumstance that creates a window for something new to happen and a resolution to be found.”  To read more you can find Lena here.

Today we have a New Moon in Aquarius!  So let’s unpack this a tad, every moon has energy based on the sign that they are in and what type of moon they are.  New Moon is a time of planting seeds and Aquarius has the energy of making this a very potent window for manifesting your highest vision for your future since Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, planet of future outcomes. Aquarius calls upon us to develop our ideas so they don’t just remain pipe dreams.  “The ultimate goal for this new moon is to activate and free up your creativity so it is important that you move through the irritation and other edgy emotions as quickly as possible and keep your eye on the goal.”  Thus, if you look at the energy of this month and it’s all about activation and then work that with the energy of the New Moon.  Wowzers! Let’s take some of those glorious seeds of desire, purpose, plenty and passion and give them the nurturing that they need – and watch what happens!

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, the Year of the Golden Pig!  I love pigs and this represents expansion, luck and abundance to those who are patient, honest & reliable.  As you may or not be aware, I love to celebrate! So Chinese New Year is a time of filling up little red envelopes with money and distributing them along with oranges!  (Yes some of my new neighbours are probably going to think I am totally bat shit crazy when I knock on their door with a red envelope and orange in hand). Red envelopes or hongbao in Mandarin and lai see in Cantonese, are a symbol of good luck and in the Chinese culture the colour red is associated with energy, happiness and good luck.  Why the oranges? Two of the most common food symbols of the Chinese New Year are tangerines and oranges. Whereas tangerines represent wealth, oranges are a popular symbol of good luck. … Oranges and tangerines are a traditional favorite, though, and can also represent happiness and abundance, as in an abundant harvest.  So why not run around the neighbourhood gifting red envelopes and oranges? We also prepare a gorgeous Chinese feast of amazing foods and spend time eating, laughing and playing games. So yes, I do love Chinese New Year!

Okay, are you paying attention, because in case you haven’t noticed we have received a truck load of energy pertaining to new, expansion, growth etc. What with Activation, Imbolc, New Moon, Chinese New Year. Holy Hannah! If you weren’t paying attention then you might want to. This is the strong powerful energy of burgeoning Spring, a glorious invitation to shake off the dross and heaviness of the winter and to start to re-focus on what is important to you and what you are passionate about.  Plant those seeds this New Moon and really take time daily (doesn’t have to big) to think about those glorious seeds that are sprouting and soon going to push through the cold, dark earth like lush snowdrops or bright crocuses! This is planning time, focus time and time to still let winter brush against your cheek whilst knowing in your heart the burgeoning gorgeous energy that comes when we release the old “stuff”, let the darkness get lighter and hold onto the promise of so much growth and manifestation.  Do I hear a “Heck Yes!”

When I asked the cards who wanted to come support, guide and lead this week I was tickled to see it was “The Faery Forest Oracle” – will all this glorious “new” and encouraging energy flying around who better to show us how to grow than the Faery Forest.  Now if this deck is new to you, please let me introduce these glorious guides:- “Let us enter the wild green world together, friend, the faery forests where the great trees speak with us, the moss soft underfoot, the light pure and gentle.  The homes of the once Sacred groves of the Celts, the Saxons, and the Vikings…and to the people who were here long before we had names with which to call them to us – the faerie people.  May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.”  So mote it be.

When I invited the crystals to come and play, glorious little Spring like robin eggs surged forth.  We have, Chrysocolla – new beginnings, starting over, motivation and inspiration, Angelite – Understanding, calm, comfort, reminds you that you are not alone, and last but not least,  Sodalite – the harmoniser, communication, harmony and trust.  A Selenite wand which amplifies the crystals and a plethora of snowdrops!

I have created a guided visualisation for you to really see this energy that is flooding in you, around you, towards you and through you.  If that doesn’t resonate then just Breathe. Breathe into your toe nails, breathe into the roots of your hair, breathe in all the promises, the blessings and opportunities and sigh your exhale out, letting go of anything that feels a tad sticky or tacky.

https://www.jennyheston.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/young-shoot.m4a

When you are ready invite your inner wise knowing to pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Take a breath and let’s go have a look!

THE GOLDEN UNICORN

Everyone deserves to have another person in their life to whom they can turn for protection and care.  When this card comes for you, the Golden Unicorn is showing you the path to a person, advisor, or mentor who will assist you through the challenges you are now facing.  When the Golden Unicorn appears, it is a beacon of hope, for with the right guidance, what seems to be impossible can be achieved, and you will no longer feel so raw, vulnerable, and unable to go on.

If you are facing unjust circumstances – you will be shown, step by step, how to get through this time, when it seems that all friends have fallen away, and the world is no longer a safe place.  The glorious golden unicorn leads with reason, intelligence, and intuitive brilliance. With their guidance you will come to a safer place within the world, and be wiser in choices regarding friendships, alliances, partnerships.

You are wiser now, and will never be quite so hurt again.  There is now protective energy about you, and it is safe for you to leave the current circumstances and create a new path.  The judgment you have sensed about you will now dissipate, and true, good people enter your life to help heal the pain of friendships that have fallen.

THE YULE SINGER

There are times in life when our light dims so that it seems it may go out for all eternity.  But when this time comes, you are being put to a great test. If you persevere at this time, you will experience a depth of life experience that will lead to you being reshaped, transformed,and, in many ways, changed.  You are undergoing such an experience at present, and this card is here to share with you that at such a time of great darkness and suffering, a new light will shine and bring you back to life, a kind of reincarnation within the same life you are now experiencing.

When this takes place, the Yule Singer will come to you and sing to you the song of your deepest self.  You will open up with this song and begin to live again – the pain will dissolve slowly, and surely you will enter into aa time of joy and light, while the flame of your spirit rises high once again within your soul.

Expect new friendships,easy connections, fortunate moments, and growth when this beautiful being comes to you.  The dark times are done with for now. You are stronger, brighter, and beginning once again a bright new cycle. Sing your song!

THE GREEN WITCH

When you are pure of heart, the whole world is full of potential.  And this is the message from this innocent Green Witch to you. She is green as in the fresh new shoot from the seed pushing urgently towards the sun.  She is green and connected to the earth, flowing with the cycles of Nature. She is green in that she looks as much to the natural world for company, friendship, and fulfillment as you currently do to fellow humans.

She is your reminder to begin to reconnect to the wild green world, to the faery forests all about you – to go back to a place where you empty yourself of expectations and stories and knowledge and just admit that in some circumstances and at some times, you are as a babe.  You are newborn, and in that moment of unknowing-ness, and of admitting and embracing your own powers of renewal, you can finally learn what it is you are here to learn.

Be not so certain, or so experienced when The Green Witch comes to you.  Be new. Be fresh. Be unwise, be unknowing. Be innocent. And then the new cycle can truly begin.

Hmmm, breathe in, breathe out.  I don’t know about you but the guides picked these to help you release the dark, the fear, the tight and scratchy and to really let you know about the light that surrounds you and is encouraging you to streeeeettttchh and grow, like the sprout coming from the glorious seed.  Wishing you a glorious week of celebration, intention, activation and ease. Keep cosy, laugh tons and make soup! (Always a good thing). Huge hugs and squeezes and see you next week.

Canada may have taken silver in hockey, but they g Canada may have taken silver in hockey, but they get gold in the Leadership Olympics.

On one side: a president who normalizes misogyny, makes everything about him, and posts slop AI fantasy footage of himself scoring the winning goal.

On the other: Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, a former Harvard goalie, who stepped onto the ice with the Edmonton Oilers last spring, practiced, praised the players, and called the experience “awesome” and “amazing.”

One is the underskilled, cocky player nobody wants to play with.

The other understands he’s part of a team.

More importantly, Carney refused to be bullied by Trump’s trade wars and has developed new trade partners in response to the president’s unconstitutional tariffs. 

Oh, and he’s not a p3do.

The bar is literally in hell.

In Chinese astrology, 2025 was Snake Year. And Snake Year is about shedding.

Peeling back layers. Releasing what’s complete. Letting go of old identities. Questioning everything you thought you knew.

And if you felt like you were crawling through the mountains for 12 months—like everything was falling apart, like you didn’t know who you were anymore—that wasn’t failure.

That was the shed.

You weren’t stuck. You were transforming.

And they say the harder your Snake Year was, the more explosive your Horse Year will be.

Horse Year (starting Feb 17) is about movement. Action. Momentum. Speed.

Everything you’ve been waiting for? It’s about to accelerate.

The clarity you’ve been chasing? It’s coming.

The life you’ve been building? It’s about to click into place.

The version of you that’s been emerging? She’s about to take the lead.

So if you’re entering this feeling exhausted, raw, and uncertain—good.

That means you did the work.

Now get ready. We gallop on the 17th.
🔥 Ring of Fire Eclipse + Year of the Fire Horse?! 🔥 Ring of Fire Eclipse + Year of the Fire Horse?!

Oh we are not playing small in 2026.

This is bold.
This is catalytic.
This is “darling, it’s time.”

Unexpected doors.
Sudden clarity.
Leaps before you feel fully ready.

But remember — courage without burnout, passion without drama. Tend your flame.

Curious what’s opening for you?
Come read the full post and meet your guides.

🔥 Let’s walk through the fire beautifully.

None of this is new. It’s just newly visible on a None of this is new.
It’s just newly visible on a mass scale.

Staying sane now means learning how to see corruption clearly without becoming it.

What we’re witnessing is not an accidental exposure of truth. It’s not an ‘oops’ info leak moment. 

Its a deliberately curated public ritual of moral inversion. 

A slow collective grooming of conscience, where what initially shocks gets repeated and flooded into daily awareness until it becomes habitual, tolerable and eventually normalised.

When sinister contradictions are performed publicly again and again its basically an invitation to adapt, lower standards, dissociate and mirror what you see. It’s an emotional exhaustion trap.

Not to mention the figures and systems that are elevated as moral representatives or centralised standards of conduct, only to corrupt and decay on a public stage. 

It’s not accidental. Its subliminal conditioning. 

By publicly collapsing certain individuals, the aim is to collapse the values or beliefs the collective psyche had attached to them. From institutional ideals to spiritual frameworks, and many shared human ethics in between. 

Thats the inversion.

Certain figures are elevated, then offered as sacrificial lambs. Their fall is meant to preserve the structure and take the values attached to them down too.

But ideas dont just expire because their representatives betray them!!! I think the task here is to reclaim / embody values that were never outside to begin with and stop outsourcing our sense of safety and direction.

Recognising the pattern clearly is the beginning of choice.

It is an opportunity to see what is being reflected and embody something different.
To not let hope collapse but instead to let the collapse of illusion refine it.

To root deeper into art, community, solidarity, moral clarity, ancestral wisdom, decentralised sustenance, organised mutual aid systems.

These are our tools. 
In action (not just here in pretty words).

To me the power of the warrior comes from inner alignment that holds under pressure, a fierce sense of justice, and values that dont decompose when the systems around us do. 

Love will win.
I sat down to write about Valentine’s Day… and got I sat down to write about Valentine’s Day… and got a cosmic smack down instead.

We’re in the final week of the Year of the Snake, Chinese New Year is approaching, and a Solar Eclipse is stirring everything awake — aka shedding season.

While the world shouts about roses and romance, the real invitation right now is to fall wildly (and intentionally) in love with yourself.

Real nourishment. Real devotion. Real magick.

This week’s reading is your nudge to honour your heart, your body, and your becoming — plus a gentle self-love ritual to anchor it all.
