International Women’s Day, New Moon in Pisces, Creatrix Circle Doors are Open and Equinox bundles are here!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Magnificent, Majestic, Meaningful, Miraculous, Manifesting Monday!   How are you delicious lovely? The Equinox is almost here and I can most certainly feel the energy building and getting ready to bud – I’m so excited, kinda wiggly like a labrador puppy!  Even more so because I had 3600lbs of dirt delivered on Friday to create glorious gardens and I have been hauling it one bucket at a time!  

We have so much to explore this week!  Firstly, Creatrix Circle doors open today until March 21st.

  I’m so excited!  If you have been feeling a call to dive deeper into yourself and your own magick, whilst being supported by a like minded tribe then Creatrix Circle is for you!  

Also, Secondly, thank you for all your interest in if there are going to be Equinox bundles.  You betcha!  As you know I love, love, love Equinox – that magnificent time when we are in a place of equality and stillness.  Where magick is created.  The bundles are ready and there is the delicious OMM (Ostara Magickal Manual) for the Northern hemisphere. MMM (Mabon Magickal Manual) for the Southern hemisphere.  30+ pages of ritual, spells and all sorts of goodness to really harness the energy of this switch and to walk with the forces that surround you.  Thirdly, we have International Women’s Day and then New Moon in Pisces!  Phew!  

Girdle up Betty!

So let’s start with today, International Women’s Day!  Did you know that the first International Women’s Day occurred in 1911, supported by over one million people?  (Think about that, the year alone).  Why do we celebrate IWD?  We celebrate this global day of recognition to acknowledge and celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women and girls, and to raise awareness of the work left to be done.  I love the “theme” for this IWD – Choose to Challenge.  

A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day.  We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.

From challenge comes change, so let’s all choose to challenge. Thus I invite you to strike the #ChooseToChallenge pose with your hand high stating what you stand for to show your commitment to choose to challenge inequality, call out bias, question stereotypes, and help forge an inclusive world.

This Saturday is the glorious Pisces New Moon.  As Forever shares:- This New Moon sends waves of poetry into our cosmic skies. It carries soft, ethereal energy that inspires us to dream, create, and imagine a better reality for ourselves.

The reality we feed is the reality that flourishes, so be sure your thoughts, words, and actions are aligned with all that you desire, particularly under the influence of this March New Moon.

Take a moment to close your eyes and envision a better life for yourself and for the world. Close your eyes and visualize peace radiating through your heart and the heart of every being, both known and unknown.

Buried within each and every one of us are lifetimes of ancestral wisdom. Wisdom of the lives we have led before this one, and the knowledge we have of our true nature and existence.

This is the perfect New Moon to acknowledge this deep, and perhaps forgotten wisdom.

Within, you know the way. Within, you have the answers you seek.

If that feels like a lot to take in, kick your mind out of the way and open your heart, let your heart guide you.  

Okay, enough chuntering.  When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to support and guide this week I was not surprised to see the glorious Divine Circus Oracle hop up and down (as seriously life feels a tad like a circus right now).  Amazing crystals came to join in and the most soft and sweet pussy toe flowers joined right along.

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them.  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 a 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. “

Okay, let’s settle in shall we, it doesn’t have to be for long.  But I invite you to get still with yourself.  To really just BE for a moment, to let all the cares, worries, to do things just drop away.  Just BE.  As you slow down your breathing allow the thoughts to scatter off to the side and really invite your wise inner self to speak to you about where you are right now, the energy of Equinox.  What do you need to know as we mark this time?  What can support you in the coming week?  To help there is a lovely guided visualisation where we do some demolition and construction.  (No tools required).

Okay, did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

THE PROUD PIERETTE

If you were proud of who you are and everything you have learned in your life, free from shame, guilt or judgement, what would you choose for yourself today?  The choices you make for yourself from a place of feeling good are going to be more loving and helpful than anything from a place of self-judgement.  You’ve nothing to regret, you’ve learned a lot and you are a beautiful unique being on a wild divine journey.  Be kind to yourself.  Keep your head up!  Then it will be easier to keep growing and glowing.

If you feel that life is getting you down, or you should have, or could have, made different decisions in life – you are doing a great job!  You are meant to have learning experiences.  What matters is that you choose to learn.  And you do!  In your own time and your own way, you make sense of things, and you grow wiser and stronger as a person.

If you feel any ridicule, judgement or shaming is coming from those around you – trust you are stronger and wilder and more beautiful and true than any of that mean-spirited fearfulness.  Let the mud that is being slung slide right off or remain stuck in the hands of those throwing it your way.  Keep your sense of inner dignity intact.  Never make yourself smaller to placate the fear in another’s heart.  Take pride in who you are.  Be proud to be you!  And know that this is a way to respect and honour the creative loving power of the universe that created you!

BRILLIANT VIRGIN

In a world where we are bombarded daily with differing opinions and ideas, remaining true to you and your own point of view is nothing short of brilliant.  Let go of confusion, distortion, comparison and compromise.  You do not need to compare yourself to another or measure up to anyone or anything else.  What matters to you and your successful life journey is to be in touch with your own truths.  You know what you feel, no matter what anyone else says or believes.  Stay true to you!

We have to trust that the inner vision, the hope, the dream within us, is going to be strong enough to stand the rigours of birth, and be able to come to life in the world.  Sometimes we have to trust that we are enough, that we have goodness, value and worth, and so are worth the time, effort, patience and commitment required to transform our ideas into realities.  

Stay true to you and your course.  Do not allow yourself to be swayed by another, no matter how well-meaning their intentions may be or how impressive their arguments may seem.  Do not water down the strength of your vision, your dream.  You are meant to be birthing something unique into being.  The world needs your originality!  Pray for courage.  Trust yourself.

ROOSTER MAMA

Rooster Mama is her own person.  She’s a rebel, a maverick, a renegade – an offbeat individual who dances to her own rhythms.  She is the authentic eccentric who doesn’t fall in with the plans other people make for her, but creates her own consciousness with optimism and flair for self expression.  She says you are unique, positive and rebellious too.  

In a world where we are taught we need permission to do almost anything, it takes guts to decide to give yourself unconditional permission to be unconditionally yourself!  When you do, however, an exhilarating sense of freedom, excitement and happiness bubbles up from within.

Permission to be strangely beautiful, weirdly wonderful and divinely eccentric creates charisma, energy and inspired ideas.  Your own opinion of yourself becomes more important than the voices of fear that want to control you because they are afraid of the power within you.  

You have compassion for that which is enslaved by fear, but you don’t buy into it.  Rooster Mama sees this divine defiance in you and how it empowers you to make your own choices, to choose your own consciousness, the power to live your life in whatever way you see fit, whether others understand or not.  

It’s time to shake things up, redefine yourself, even if that means letting things get a bit wild in the henhouse for a while.  She reminds you to be bold, to be proud and strut your stuff.  

Wowzer, fabulous guides for where we are at and what is coming down the pipe!  Remember please to be gentle with your gorgeous self.  If you want to get a bit more support and don’t feel called to join Creatrix Circle yet, the Equinox bundles will help massively.  Sending you huge love and squeezes.  Breathe glorious one, breathe.  Remember to come from your Heart.  

March, Meditation and Mundanity.

· ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Marvelous, Mellow, Momentous, Meteoric, Mirthful March Monday delicious lovely!  That’s right we are in a new month – March, the promise of Spring! 

Can you feel the energy slowly building- the energy of rebirth, release and rejuvenation?  I sure can and thankfully Mumma Nature has been showing off with swaths of snowdrops carpeting the hillsides and massive clumps of wild daffodils popping up in the most random places.  I so love their bright yellow heads that bob and dance in the breeze or the rain, they literally scream “Spring is coming”, which it is with Spring Equinox on the 20th!  Whoot! 

The birds have come flooding back and they happily empty out the bird feeder once every 3 days (greedy little buggers), and the other afternoon, as I sat out in the sun pondering the design of my Witches garden, I laughed to watch two chubby, chubby little nuthatches give themselves a thorough scrub down in the bird bath.  They were filled with pure glee and throwing water everywhere.  

I love this time of year.  There’s a glorious sense of promise, growth, celebration and I love, love, love it!  What signs of Spring are you seeing around you?

Many of you have messaged and emailed asking when the doors to Creatrix Circle are going to open again and if there is going to be an Equinox reading special.  Well, I am pleased to let you know that Creatrix Circle will be opening her doors on March 8th until March 21st (the day after equinox and the first time since December).  Thus, if you want to join a circle of like minded, amazing women, deepen into your practice and listen to the messages of your DNA that speak to you of your witch, wise woman, alchemist side – come join us!  Also, there will be an Equinox reading special from March 15th until March 21st.  I hope that answers your questions.  

So, I have a question for you – meditation – do you do it? 

We all know that meditation helps us to destress, relax and lower our blood pressure, but it also connects us to our higher self.  The wise one, the teacher and the guide that is in us.  It also connects us to the Divine on a clear channel that is not filled with static.  Yet………….. Yet many have shared with me that “they don’t have the time”, the time to go sit on the special meditation cushion, with the candle lit and quiet reigning around them.  I agree, life can be busy, but why does meditation have to happen in such a controlled environment?

With this Full Moon in Virgo that happened on Saturday, we were invited to connect to our Higher Self.  Fabulous, but if we don’t have time to manicure the details to make it pleasing for us, how does that happen?  At our Full Moon gathering in Creatrix Circle we explored that and an invitation for the next two weeks of a reframe was thrown down.

Virgo, is the sign associated with those routines that comprise most of our days— working, running errands, preparing meals—as well as the habits we form through repetition of those routines. For the most part, we regard these habits and routines as entirely separate from our spiritual lives.  But something is being lost, I think, in our determination to avoid these humble occupations; it’s often the small, ordinary tasks that offer the most accessible route from unconscious habit to mindful ritual, as well as the most frequent opportunities for attempting the journey. 

Intention, and consciousness. You can sweep the kitchen floor each evening and hardly notice doing it, beyond a vague desire to have it over with as quickly as possible. But imagine you instead give your full attention to sweeping the floor carefully and thoroughly, visualizing the debris and disorder of your mind being swept away with the bread crumbs. Feel the difference? 

Why make such a big deal out of sweeping a floor? Because we don’t live for frigging ever!  Do you really have five minutes every day—more than thirty hours each year!—to waste on meaningless, unconscious activity? Why not use those five minutes as a sort of practical prayer, to celebrate being alive?

 Ritual is not magic; it is ordinary, everyday action performed with magical intention. It is the union of practical and spiritual.  

Ritual is ordinary action carefully performed with extraordinary intention. It is how we honor the invisible with visible gestures. 

During the next two weeks between the Virgo Full Moon and the next New Moon, ferret out those circumstances that bore you, irritate you, or overwhelm you. Where in your life do you encounter drudgery, the feeling you’re “just going through the motions”? Where are you most likely to be annoyed or short tempered with others? What ordinary situations make you feel so overwhelmed, you no longer know how to untangle them? These are situations that suggest unconsciousness. They are situations which, if approached with intention rather than a sense of distasteful obligation, present the greatest avenue for your spiritual growth right now.  Willing to give it a try and turn Mundanity into a delicious conversation with the Divine?

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

So interestingly enough when I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide and teach this week, I was tickled when The Oracle of the Dragonfae were adamant.  Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you:-  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. 

We all need some wisdom and magic in our worlds on a daily basis.  

Ready?  I invite you to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth for a few deep, long breaths.  As you breathe, see in your mind’s eye that everything you do is a living prayer.  And remember, all that you touch you change and that all that you change, Changes You!.  Breathe this way for however long you have and when your shoulders have relaxed away from  your ears and your jaw is loose pick the card or cards that resonate for you at this time.  

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s have a look shall we?

THE LADY ALFREDA

Know you this: that whatsoever you send out, you attract back to the power of three.  Intent has energy, as do thoughts, feelings and emotions, and once released, this vibrational thought field radiates out and attracts back to you that which was sent out.  This is the Law of the Threefold return, an ancient Law that the wise ones have known of for many a year, though many of the humans have refused to listen to its wisdom.  

So, if you cry out an injustice, and if you are in pain, you must clear the reasons these manifestations of the Law were brought to you, were drawn to you, by you.  As you think, so will you live.  As you do, others will do unto you.  This is the magickal law.

Do not be afraid of this truth:  see it as a source of freedom.  There is no blame in this karmic truth, for all that you send out will return.  There is no other place for it to go.  Your own underworld initiation is ending soon, and the dark will soon come to be but a place full of rest, release, wisdom and deep, ancient knowledge.  The Law is the Law.  And the Lady’s Law is love unto all.  Follow this, and the Threefold Return will work its magicks.  

Do you not know the truth?  Your own underworld is not hell, but your dark time in the cauldron of your experience, your growth, your understanding, your knowledge.  Now you have the knowledge of the Law, will you work with it, knowing it to be truth?

It is time to get real and own what you have previously blamed on others.  This does not mean blaming yourself.  Instead work on shifting your own karmic residue (Dragonfae are wonderful at this!) and understanding the connections between what you have sent out and what you have created.  Look to your own intent.  Make friends with your shadow and thank it for the lessons.  

MELUSINE

Keys are rare in the realm of spirit; but I now provide you with a key that will open the door to who you truly are.  Your true feelings about self-worth and self-love have been hidden, locked away for years, but now they will be revealed, and healed, for all time.  For there is a part of you that you feel is not suitable to be shown to others, particularly in romantic relationships.  You feel that this part of you is unacceptable and lacking in beauty. 

However, this part of you, in being denied, is causing pain and guilt to surface within relationships where there need be none.  You deserve to be loved for all of you, for the parts that are claws and thorns, for your lines and your grief, for your irritability and your sadnesses.

I Melusine, do not say to go into these parts and stay there, but know that what you consider to be unacceptable is in fact part of your beauty – and true beauty is wholeness.  Come forward and be revealed, and never again mistrust or reject a portion of who you are.  Embrace your scars and flaws, and see them as wonderful differences that only make you unique, and very real.  Open your heart, unlock the door and step out of the enchanted chamber in which you have hidden this aspect of who you are.  Love all of you, your body and soul, your mind and spirit, your ancestry and your trials and challenges.

You are perfect, whole and complete, with the unique stamp of this individual body and soul upon you.  I will help you love yourself more truly and deeply than ever before.  Take this key, and unlock the secret parts of you.  Let them see the light, and know that you are safer for doing so than you have ever been before, in any of your numerous lifetimes.

DREAMCATCHER

I am the Dragonfae being who comes in the night, who travels through the dimensions to the doorway of the worlds.  I will stand while you sleep and send you messages that you can unravel in your waking hours.  All that is no longer needed will come to me, if you allow it, and I will catch it in my web between my hands, lit up by the light that travels from the solar plexus of this Universe, the being you call Sun, but which I call Bel.  This Bel shines through your day and at night I reflect that light into you, cleansing what is irritating and difficult for you, but keeping all that which you need to go forward.  

There is nothing to fear from the presence of we dream beings…I am yours, and in your dreams we will journey, we will explore, we will share and we will be happy together.  I will help you reach your goals and if you believe, great blessing from Spirit will be yours.  We are part of the same tribe and your blood is mine.  This dreamcatcher is at your service.

Every night you allow me to visit, I will be your protector, your solar plexus will be opened a little further and your light will shine a little brighter in this world.  I can help you see the threads of your future and to follow them.  Let me into your dreams.  Invite me in.  This is my request of you.

Holy Hannah, gotta love the messages for this week – intention, being yourself and allowing support in your dream space.  So gorgeous one, I wish for you a week filled with the signs of Spring to remind you of rebirth, change and delight.  I also invite you to look upon the things that you consider “mundane or drudgery” as an opportunity to connect with something bigger than yourself.  Sending you big hugs and squeezes and see you next week!

Valentine’s, New Moon in Aquarius and Year of the Ox! Whoot!

· ·

Hello my darling one!  Happy Magestic, Magickal, Merry, Marvelous, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!  How are you?  How’s your Mercury retrograde going?

Valentine’s day is approaching and the stores are jammed with heart shaped boxes of choccies, little stuffies holding hearts, cookie roses – you name it.  All in the name of Valentine’s Day.  Have to say it drives me bonkers!  Why do we mark this one day out to celebrate love and why only romantic love?  Personally I feel we should celebrate love in all its forms daily.  

Let’s be honest Valentine’s Day has now become a Hallmark celebration, thanks to Chaucer in the 14th century.  His poem “Parliament of Fowls”, written in the late 14th century describes a group of birds which gather together in the early spring – on ‘seynt valentynes day‘ – to choose their mates for the year.

Hence the hallmark holiday which has turned the day into being all about romantic love which can be tough for people if they have lost someone, choose to be single or just want something different.  According to legend, Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge, and he wrote her a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell before his execution. The Feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honour of the Christian martyr, Saint Valentine of Rome, who died on that date in AD 269.

So I’ve perked what I want to do for Valentine’s and how I want to share and spread love to those I know and those I don’t, is what I did last year.  Meringues!!!  Little wee meringue nests filled with whipped cream and topped with a raspberry and then bundled up and gifted to those I know and those I don’t and those who are living in tents.  

Why?  Because I believe it is important to remind people that they are loved, seen, valued and important, even people you don’t know that you walk past on the street.  So if any of you want to come over and help meringues, please do and if you know how to make tin foil swans – let me know.  

On Thursday we have a lovely New Moon in Aquarius and at the time of this New Moon we have a Stellium, which is where the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury all in the sign of Aquarius.  Can you say one huge energy field?

The last time we had strong Aquarian energy like this was back in the ’60s and it coincided with the hippie counterculture movement. All the things that this movement stood for- equality, peace, and community, are all very much linked to the energy of Aquarius.

Use this energy to raise your vibration, not just for your own wellbeing, but for the wellbeing of all. This is a time to raise your vibration and use it to send healing love to the entire planet. 

Your light is so needed. Your soul is here as a chosen one to bring about the shift of consciousness that is slowly unfolding. The shift is inevitable, it is just your opportunity now to ride the wave.  Remember, what you focus on expands, so set your dreams and wishes high and outside the box!!!

Have fun playing in this wonderful energy field and create some New Moon wishes!

Friday brings us Chinese New Year and we enter the Year of the Ox.  (I love Chinese New Year and we celebrate it full out with little red envelopes, a glorious feast and all sorts).  

Ox can save us from disaster, and help reconstruct because Ox is a builder.

So Ox year is the time to follow through and bring to completion what was started in Rat year. Establish a routine, use tried-and-true methods, and stay with a structure that can bring a bountiful harvest in autumn. Daring new concepts will not be well received. So think back to anything you started last year and work methodically and with discipline on it this year.  

So with all that being said – let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share their wisdom and insight with you this week, the glorious “Love Your Inner Goddess” guides came out big and bold.  Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to).  

“These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth.  Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world.  We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK.  Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense.  She wants so much more for you.  She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny.  She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart.  She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you.  You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true.  There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed.  Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity.  She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart. “ 

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time.  Woosah!

So gorgeous one, breathe.  Just breathe, BE and allow yourself to relax, your mind to calm, your breath to slow and ask your wise inner self – what do I need to know this week.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your heartstrings – don’t let your mind pick!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

DARING DREAMER

You don’t need to adjust your dreams to fit in with what others say is realistic, sensible or practical.  Why seek to limit the power of the Universe with negative expectations?  Be uncompromising with your heart’s wisdom.  Listen to what it wants and yearns for and believe that the Universe has put those desires there and will show you every step to take to fulfil them.  Do not allow someone else to make you feel like you should change who you are or what your heart truly yearns for – not even a tiny bit, not even for one single second!

Our world needs daring dreamers to redefine beauty, success and worth.  We need brave souls to shake up our cultural values so that we stop hurting ourselves and each other.  You can decide what it really means to you to be beautiful, successful and worthy.  That’s how you take back control, disempowering the toxic definitions created by others.

You have the awareness and the power to say no to what is unkind, untrue, unwise.  You get to invite into your life what actually has value to your soul.  Be your divine bad-ass self and give voice to your daring dreams.  Use your positive words of power to express your most beautiful dreams and never give up on those dreams, yourself or the world.

Your vision of what is possible is the healing medicine for our future world and the way to your bliss.

LIONESS

Your ability to love yourself and be empowered is maturing.  You are learning that the real beauty and value of you comes from within.  You are learning to rise above emotional game-playing with honesty.  You can enjoy your attractiveness as a person without allowing it to control your life or your sense of self-worth.  If others try to control your life or opinions about your appearance, or in any other way, you will be strong enough to recognise it as their issue and nothing to do with you.  Others will be attracted to your true inner beauty, appreciating your loveliness and enjoying how it helps them feel good about who they are, too.

Your feminine power is grounded in dignity.  She stands against beauty being used as a tool of manipulation – to get something, to control someone, to put someone else down and make them feel unworthy.  She knows that such behaviour is dishonourable, taking what was once beautiful and distorting it into something ugly and corrupt.

Lioness is the medicine of honour, of beauty that is enjoyed but not exploited.  She is the soul medicine of courage.  She refuses to be used as a pawn in another’s game; she refuses to play with the minds and emotions of others.  Her ways are direct and open.  She is confident in who she is, and she is not afraid to be honest.  Even if quietly spoken, your truth has the impact of a roar.  

With her confidence in your heart, you can live your life in the open without any need to hide.  You are the holder of lioness medicine – a brave one, a huntress, and a protector of dignity, justice and truth.  

BE THERE FOR YOU

It’s time to let yourself off the hook.  Don’t interpret the behaviour of other people or circumstances outside of your control to indicate something negative about you.  Forgive yourself for anything that you feel you have done wrong.  You can learn from your choices more easily if you stop punishing yourself whenever you feel that you’ve made a mistake.  Even the decisions that we regret can help us grow wiser when we swap judgement for compassion.  Sometimes, we can only learn what we need to know from what doesn’t work out so well at the time.  Forgive yourself.  Have your own back.  Be good to you.

You have an open, sensitive, beautiful heart.  Sometimes the world cannot meet that heart of yours on equal terms.  Sometimes the heart of others are just too closed and afraid.  That’s OK because it’s part of why you were born – to help heal and open the hearts of the world.  You are wise, and you know your purpose is to shine the beauty of your divine heart freely for all to experience.  You never have to close down or turn away from that sacred purpose in the world, but you do deserve to be safeguarded and protected.  Know that you have your own back.

When fearful, angry people lash out in pain, trying to hurt others because they cannot get past their own hurt, do not make it about you.  Your heart knows how to love you and protect you, whilst it has compassion for the suffering that another may be feeling. Remember that you must be there for yourself, nurturing your own heart with plenty of love.  Give to yourself just as you give to the world: with kindness and generosity.

Don’t allow anyone or anything make you forget what is real and true – the wisdom and love that fills your own divine heart and helps heal the world.   

Woosah!  Wonderful guides for this week as we navigate the New Moon, Year of the Ox and Valentine’s Day.  Wishing you a glorious week filled with ease, authenticity, kindness and laughter.  Allow any “sticky” emotion out, give yourself love and appreciation and remember to be grateful for even the smallest thing.  I personally am exceptionally grateful for you and your presence on this earth.  Big hugs and squeezes!

Mercury Retrograde. Imbolc is Here! Post Leo Full Moon.

· ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Meditative, Mind-Blowing, Meritorious, Musical, Motivational, Mesmerising, Manifesting Monday! (How was that for alliteration?)

How are you delicious lovely? How was the amazing full moon in Leo for you?  After a lovely hiatus filled with creating, writing and just cocooning, it’s good to be back.

So grab a cuppa and let’s natter, yes?

In case you weren’t aware Mercury went retrograde yesterday and will be this way until February 21st.  Whoohoo!  Now don’t run to the closet, let’s just gently unpack this puppy (so to speak).

Mercury will retrograde in the sign of Aquarius, which is a new energy for us. For the last few years, Mercury has mainly gone retro in water signs.  However, throughout 2021 the theme is air signs.  Which is interesting as Mercury is ruled by the element of air and earth, so having it retrograde in one of its ruling elements may intensify the experience. So let me share what Tanaaz has to share.

We may feel mentally foggy, confused, or lack the clarity that is needed to make decisions.

Whenever Mercury enters retrograde, especially in an air sign, we have to work a little harder to tame our monkey-mind, and be sure we are not spiraling into a loop of overthinking, or getting trapped in limiting beliefs. 

Our task during this Mercury Retrograde season, and the ones to come, will be to acknowledge any mental chatter, observe what needs to be looked at, and learn how to release and let go of the rest.

A prime example was on Saturday over in Creatrix Circle we were having an incredible Imbolc Workshop, yet – for the half hour prior, everything was going to hell in a hand basket.  Technology, mind sets, you name it.  But come go time – all was good.  

So let’s talk about Imbolc!

Okay Imbolc is today!!!  Now you may be scratching your head and thinking to yourself – what the heck did she say?  Imbolc (yes it does sound like it’s looks).  Imbolc is a Celtic fire festival celebrating the emerging life in the world around us as well as the Goddess Brigid who represents the fire of creativity, the protective hearth fire and her firewheel all of which cleanse and purify.  Imbolc is a celebration, because for those of us in the mid winter it promises us emergence, growth, renewal and hope and massive cleansing and purification.  Imbolc is the halfway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox and occurs on February 1st/2nd.  

Okay Jenn, what’s that got to do with me? 

Well whether you realise it or not your body is connected to the seasons, to the energy underneath you, around you, above you and in you.  Imbolc is one of the seasonal changes on the Wheel of the Year.  However, the Wheel of the Year is more than just the seasonal changes from spring to summer to fall to winter.  It also encompasses the 8 holidays, or sabbats.  Each of these holidays has its own energy and its own place in the cycle that influences.  

Imbolc brings us the burgeoning Spring energy that feels like a whisper or a possible promise, it’s the gestation time.  Imbolc literally means – in the belly.  The time to get clear on what you want to create or bring into your life.  If you want to go deeper and explore some rituals and more information on Imbolc, there are some lovely ones here!

Can you feel the fertility that is approaching?  

It’s pulsing everywhere, flowers are starting to push up, leaves are gently welling up into buds, seeds will need to be planted.  Thus, imagine yourself like a glorious garden – what do you need to push the dross aside and stretch?  To really bloom, expand and grow?

When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to support and guide this week, the glorious Faery Forest Oracle were most adamant.  I was tickled as yesterday I went exploring the woods, hung out with the trees and just noticed all the little random daffs and crocus that are pushing their way up with vigour!  

Now, if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it’s rude not to):- 

“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.”   Lovely!

The crystals that woggled and waggled (like miniature labradors) are:-  Bloodstone, K-2 Jasper, Chrysocolla.  

You ready?  I invite you to just BE and BREATHE (please don’t tell me you don’t have time, as you do).  Allow any heaviness to gently drop to the ground as you breathe long, slow and deep.  Let it become cosmic compost to feed and nurture something new.  Keep breathing this way and think about the seeds you want to sow in the Springtime, what are they?  If you need some more support or want to go deeper, there is a lovely guided visualisation for you.

When you are ready and you feel relaxed, pick the card or cards that call to you, nudge you or kick you in the arse!

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

ISA

Winter has descended upon the Faery Forest.  You have ceased struggling and fighting to change what is outside of yourself.  Because you have relinquished the battle,  you have won the war within yourself.  You are now suspending activity and being in the moment.  Through this stillness and inner consciousness, you are beginning to understand so much of where you have been and where you will go – and because you are fully in the present and allowing, you can also come to a deeper, more peaceful understanding of what it is you want, value, and desire.

This is a moment of complete stillness and simply be-ing: a long moment where you are completely present.  You are as still as a chrysalis, hanging seemingly static from a branch, fragile and mysterious.  Like the chrysalis, you will “do” nothing – nothing at all, except become yourself.  Your transformation is being worked invisibly, on the inside, and when the time is right, you will share it with the world.

In a situation where you seem to have no control, no power, you are learning the most valuable form of power there is – self mastery.  You pause with dignity and strength, and simply by doing this you create the right conditions for the right change.

This time will ultimately bring great peace, wisdom, and choices that enrich your life, others lives, and the healing of the world.

THE GREEN MAN

Not so long ago, all was quiet, dark, and cold…..but something has changed, and it will manifest into your world in significant ways – through you, and all around you.  This is a time of renewal, a time of new beginnings and connections for you.  Your energy will be extending itself easily, and you will fall in love with the new world you are creating.  This is a time for you to actively pursue what it is you wish to create in your life and to acknowledge the presence of the powerful new energies all about you.

Each day will bring these changes, and it is as if life force itself is surging through you, and every cell radiates this bright, strong, fierce new energy.  

To be effective, this energy must be directed – not tamed, but given places to flow into – and thus you must choose and shape the energies you are experiencing.  Nature and its energies shall pour through you and it is necessary for you to quickly begin to shape these forces in meaningful ways.  

This is also a time when you no longer see sharp distinctions between what is outside of yourself and what is within – you feel linked, connected, a part of a great natural magickal whole, and this empowers you into brave, open-hearted action.  

Go forward and thrive, dear one!

FRIGGA

You are at a moment of great good fortune in this lifetime.  You have created for yourself more than enough, and now the goodness that is flowing to you must be invested and used wisely.  It is easy to squander youth or beauty or opportunity, as they seem such an eternal gift – but this card is here to share with you that it is time to ensure that this wonderful moment is worked with wisely.  Invest in yourself and in your health, create more wealth, learn and study, and also offer your support and investment to worthy others.  Take care of yourself, and truly make yourself into who and what you have always wanted to become.  

This time will come around again, but it will not last forever – and so Frigga wishes for you to consider the gifts you are being given, the bounty coming to you, and consider with great vision and earnestness what will provide for you and your loved ones in the years to come.  Be ready to act!

Your future can be created now – and the present can become so rich and enduring that nothing can shake your ability to continue prospering – your skills, your home, your mind, your body.  

Take care of yourself, and watch the good fortune that flows from your wise investment, for many years to come. 

Gosh, this made me smile as it’s positively perfect for the energy at this time!  So my delicious lovely, I have so many wishes for you this week.  May you gift yourself time to focus on your soul’s desires and write them down!  May you remember that Spring is coming and take this time to prepare (I have something amazing for you come Spring Equinox!)  May you be well, May you be safe, May you be at peace, May you live with ease.  Huge hugs and love!  (Oh yes, and glorious mugs of tea!)

Eclipse, Solstice, B.O.W.S, The Great Conjunction and more – Oh My!

· ·

Happy Marvellous, Merry, Musical, Mystical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Oh my gosh, sooooo much to cover this week and such huge energies coming into play as they layer up on top of each other.  Today is a New Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius, we have Solstice next Monday which opens a new gateway and is filled with massive energy, then a Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn where for the first time in 200 years it moves into a new element!  Oh yes, and the Book of Winter Solstice is ready and Creatrix doors open for one week!  When energies stack up this way, all we can do is be aware and live consciously. So grab a cuppa tea, snuggle down and let’s get exploring.

To help you with really harnessing all this energy and really embodying what these energies are inviting you to do, whilst setting some strong intentions through ritual, magick and knowledge I am pleased to say The Book of Winter Solstice is here!  59 pages of absolute wonderment, so if you had no clue what’s what or how to celebrate it we have you covered!  If you think about it, much of what we do now is based on ancient magick and celebration, so it’s important to understand how to work with all of it to create something new.  (Trust me your DNA knows this).   Oh yes, there is also an incredible guided visualisation to fully support you in weaving a new reality at that time and if that’s all you want, you can receive that on it’s own. Both the Book and the visualisation can be used from now until the end of December.  

The doors to Creatrix Circle open today for one week (until the Solstice) and then they close until March.  If you have been wanting to deepen your practice, learn more about what it is to walk the way of the witch, wise woman, seer, sage with a like minded tribe, then I highly suggest you check it out.

Okay, let’s get on with this wonderful New Moon Eclipse.  The New Moon eclipse makes this a super‑powerful week, so be sure to invest some real energy into your New Moon wishes and intentions. If you’ve never done this before, let me suggest the New Moon bowl.  

As Forever shares; “ What you think about expands, and this is doubly true under the power of this Eclipse. While we do have to be mindful of our thought processes on this day, it is also important to remember that being true to ourselves is what we should aim for.

We don’t have to be fake positive. We need to stay rooted in our truth, but in a way that encourages expansion. So, for example, instead of focusing on a mistake or trying to pretend it never happened, you instead acknowledge the mistake with kindness and focus on what you can do now to move forward.”

Thus, as you spend some time with this Eclipse really ask yourself what deep in your being is true for you?  What would you like to bring more of that is in alignment with your essence? As this Eclipse offers the kind of restructuring that can steer our lives towards a more honest and meaningful direction

Solstice is next Monday (December 21st) and again the energy is very similar. It’s an invitation into the Sacred Unknown.  It’s a call to return to the temple of your own heart.  The heart home where you are always safe and free.  And from this place to be willing to walk into the dark (your dark), play with the shadows and spend some time really releasing attachments and then picking the new pieces that are in alignment with you to weave something new.  (Big question I know).  In the Book of Winter Solstice (B.O.W.S.) we walk with the why’s, the hows and the deep meaning that this gateway offers you.  

Then the Great Conjunction!  (I did tell you there are lots of intense energies in the last part of this year lol). As Chani shares:-  On December 21st, right after the solstice, Jupiter and Saturn will form what is known as The Great Conjunction, ushering us into a new era. For the first time in a couple hundred years, this conjunction will take place in a new element, and therefore denotes a paradigm shift. Air is the element of the intellect, the social sphere, and communications. The Great Conjunction occurring on the solstice, a moment historically equated with new beginnings, is a far more powerful initiation than the turning of the clock to January 1st, 2021.

Then we end the year with a Full Moon on December 29th!  

Can you say Holy Hannah this is a lot?

The key thing I want you to notice though is all of these wonderful opportunities are inviting you to go back to your heart, to really spend time in it’s warm darkness and find the seeds of something more sustainable, community based and loving to plant.  

Breathe honey, lol.  So with all that swirling around, let’s crack on with the reading.  Then I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share their wisdom and insight with you this week, the glorious “Love Your Inner Goddess” guides came out big and bold.  Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to).  

“These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth.  Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world.  We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK.  Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense.  She wants so much more for you.  She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny.  She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart.  She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you.  You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true.  There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed.  Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity.  She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart. “ 

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time.  Woosah!

So gorgeous one, breathe.  Just breathe, BE and allow yourself to relax, your mind to calm, your breath to slow and ask your wise inner self – what do I need to know this week.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your heartstrings – don’t let your mind pick!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

SOUL SISTERS

You are being emotionally and psychologically influenced by the people around you more than you may realise.  Sometimes this is good – they uplift and inspire you and help you feel loved and loving.  However, sometimes, you can sense that being truly yourself in a situation could result in unwanted conflict, and you undermine yourself to keep the peace.  You’ll find that, the moment you stop doing this, some difficulties you’ve been having in moving forward will fall away, almost as if by magic.  The relationships worth holding on to can handle a little more truth, even if feathers get ruffled before being smoothed over with love once more.

Some relationships nourish your soul, whilst others damage it.  A nourishing relationship has an effect on your soul, just like nourishing food does on your body – it makes you feel good, increases your energy to live your life and enhances your well being.  

Healthy relationships for your soul are those that uplift, inspire and help you become more of yourself with fearlessness.  They do not drag your spirit down into anxiety and confusion.  Some people may love you, but just not know how to be in a relationship with you that is healthy for your soul.  With such people, you will either need to show them how to be in your life in a soul-loving way or take extra special care of yourself when you are around them.  

Sometimes, this will not be enough to protect you from the negative influence of the relationship, and you will need to walk away.  This can be sad, yet it also creates space for your soulmates to enter your life.  These are the people with whom you share a deep and real connection.  You love each other in a way that frees you to be yourselves.  We attract new soulmates into our world by being good to ourselves.  Be your own best friend, first.  Require respect in your relationships.  Then you will find it easy to recognise the people who genuinely love you and invite them into your heart.  

ROCKSTAR

You may have a subconscious fear of being judged or becoming the target of jealousy that causes you to shy away from the limelight.  You may mistakenly believe that being in the spotlight means you are supposed to be perfect or better than everyone else.  There is a higher purpose in standing apart from the crowd and being seen.  Choose to accept the opportunities that make you more visible to others, trusting that you will shine your truth and integrity to make it a positive and healing experience for yourself and for others too.  

There’s a light in you that wants and needs to be seen,a side of you that is bold, bright and unique.  Even if it’s something different for you, or you aren’t sure how comfortable you are going to be on centre stage, sometimes there’s a higher purpose for you being placed in the spotlight.  

One purpose can be to develop self-acceptance and self-confidence.  Then you can rock your true self without having to tone it down, play it safe or rein it in.  You can become so comfortable in your own skin that you no longer hide your inner divine beauty.  

Maybe others will then become less afraid to be themselves because you have shown them that being cool is about being cool with who you are, refusing to be stereotyped by people with insufficient imagination.  There’s power in the freedom of not fitting in.  You rather than someone else, get to decide how you want to live your life.  Relish it: be creative with it.  You are meant to be free to express yourself authentically and to be seen doing it.  So claim your inner rockstar and strut your soul stuff in this world.

BEAUTIFUL BANDIT

You can choose right now to feel good about yourself.  If you’ve been beating yourself up, stop it now.  Don’t let anyone else decide how you should feel about yourself.  Taking responsibility for your actions means that when you have done something that you feel is out of integrity, you do something about it that is constructive and useful.  Smaning yourself with judgement, or allowing another to steal your self-esteem, is neither of those things.

The Divine Mother is telling you to forgive yourself and use your energy not to live the best life that you can.  It’s time to take your life back.

You are one tough sweetheart, a spiritual gangster,a  beautiful bandit, stealing back from the unworthy that which rightfully belongs with you.  You have certain spiritual rights that cannot be denied you.  Your dignity, power and grace, your sense of beauty and self-esteem, your chosen belief systems, your energy and your right to take up space in this world rightfully belong to your soul.  Your faith in your spiritual connection with the Universe and your sense of your life purpose belong to your soul, too.  So do your joy, your laughter and your enjoyment of life, your belief in your own purity of heart and the goodness of your own being.  Your right to love yourself is owned by your soul, too.  

Even when you make mistakes, the great Mother loves and forgives you, knowing that you are doing your best and are her precious one.  You have a spiritual right to be free from torment, cruelty and mental anguish.  You alone own the right to choose your thoughts and claim your freedom to make your own choices.  You are fierce with wisdom.  

Anything that you feel has been taken from you unfairly shall be taken back by you.  Claim what is yours by spiritual right.  

Wowzer!  Seriously you can’t make this shit up!  So my delicious lovely, I wish for you an awesome Eclipse, do grab the Book of Winter Solstice so that you are ready!  Also, if you are interested in Creatrix Circle, the doors are open until Solstice.  Have a superb week, remember to keep RE-turning to your heart temple so you can RE-member.  See you next week and then I will be back after the New Year.  The time between Solstice and New Year is my contemplation, hibernation, listening and creating time.  Big hugs and squeezes!
