Spring is Coming and Opportunity abounds. Which Seeds are You wanting to Plant?

· ·

Happy Magickal, Magnetic, Mesmerising, Marvellous, Moodling, Mild, March Monday!

Here we are on the first Monday of March, Spring is frigging coming!  I don’t know about you but I can most certainly feel it in the air, energetically in my body and most certainly in my mind.  In fact this last weekend I spent time playing outdoors, cutting out faery doors and listening to the birds that woke me early in the morning.

Spring Equinox is a joyful celebration centred around rebirth and growth.  Spring represents a new day; it’s dawn in the wheel of the year. A new sun is rising. Life is waking up in the warm sunlight & your spirit feels ready to make a fresh start.  It’s a gorgeous invitation to take off the heavy coat of winter, to gently step out of the cocoon or cave and plant the seeds you want to harvest.  (And to help you with that I have two lovely gifts for you!)  The first is the Ostara Magickal Guide and the other is a glorious Spring Equinox Reading special, but read on.  

With the Spring Equinox your spirit is waking up with new ideas & new dreams for your life.

It’s fresh, warm energy has the power to make you feel alive & inspired.  It’s time to think of the seeds you want to plant from your winter slumber and harvest this year.  The end of winter can sometimes feel a little rocky. The energy shifting from an inward-focus to outwardly-focused can make you feel a bit off-kilter.

The dark months are now over & we’re moving into the warmth of the light. (The sun will continue to grow until the Summer Solstice, when it begins its turn inward again.)  Implementing changes required in order to grow & flourish, can really disrupt your sense of equilibrium in late winter. But with the Spring Equinox, the Earth returns to a place of perfect balance. Day & night are equal, the light & the dark––bringing the return of some much-needed balance into your own life.

This is why I have created two gifts for you!  (As the Creative Juices are flowing).

The first is the Ostara Magick Guide (or as I am fondly referring to her as – OMG!)  Rituals, lore, how to harness this spectacular energy, card spreads, crystals and all sorts of other yumminess.  

The other gift is a Reading Special (as many of you have asked is there going to be one), and yes.  Yes!  There will be a simple one to point out where you need to focus and then a brand new one!

A first time, gorgeous Spring Equinox reading special where you plant your seeds, see what needs to be weeded out, how to nurture, fertilise and what is going to unfold.  As after all, this is the month of Opportunity.

I will let Lena share the Shamanic energy of this month.  The main theme for March is “OPPORTUNITY”.

“March is a potentially magical month of manifesting, movement, expansion, resetting and refining intentions, increasing your intuition, and creating something new. We should all feel a sense of relief as obstacles and challenges are sidelined and take a less active part in our daily progress. Of course, we have to allow for more ease by trusting that what is showing up as an opportunity is not too good to be true.

So, this is the month to reverse caution and inhibition, and to infuse ourselves with inspiration, hope and trust.  The biggest obstacle we face this month is our own distrust and resistance to having things go well for a change. The opportunity to shift attitude from cynicism to optimism is huge. Optimism is expansive while cynicism diminishes the options. Even if you are not naturally an optimist, make it a disciplined practice to include it in your day.

Opportunities this month can take many forms. ………“

So with the energy of Spring approaching and Opportunities abounding, remember – some days you are going to be so inspired and filled with so much vim and vigour that you want to go conquer the world, other days you may feel like you want to hide out in a dark closet with a large bottle of wine and a straw!  

The most important thing is to just let it flow and stay focused on your Seeds of Intention, okay?

Okay, with that all being said – let’s crack on with the reading.  The cards that were dancing with glee to come and guide this week are the wonderful Oracle of the Dragonfae.  Now if these guides are new to you, let me introduce them (as that’s the polite thing to do).  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.

So let’s settle in shall we?  Just take a moment and before you pick a card or cards, allow the energy of Spring to swirl around you.  New beginnings, growth, transformation and light.  If you need more help there’s a glorious guided visualisation for you (and it isn’t long, so don’t fret).

Then when you are ready, pick.

Let’s go have a look shall we?

THE BLUE LADY

Nothing is impossible

Nothing is impossible.  Nothing.  Those who tell you now that what you wish for, that what you year for, that the road you take is too hard, too difficult, too challenging…that it is not for you, for yours is not of the adventure of the dream, yours is of compromise and slow heartbreak…I am here to tell you they are wrong.

People may be speaking to you from their fear; they tell you that what you wish for and hope for cannot be…and it’s not about the mundane, it is about precious jewels of hope that form our existence and our identity.  The question truly is:who do you wish to be?  An amalgamation of the fear and conditionings of others?  Or do you wish to bravely be yourself and risk the falls that  may come?  Because The Lady of the Blue Rose tells you that falls will come, as will resistance, but she also tells you that breaking through to the other reality is your role this lifetime: to carve out a path for yourself and to light the way for others travellers.  You are  unlimited – do not allow fear to bind you and burden you.  You are free, and as such, the impossible is simply an act of magickal will and self-determination.  

Summon your inner courage, and cast away the thought that courage is muscled and wears armour and a shield.  Courage can be gentle and delicate too:  it simply needs to stay true to who it is and what it does. Take steps to separate advice that come from experience (wisdom) and advice that come from fear (conditioning).  

Understand that you are the being who must make the decision about your path: no matter how caught up and bound you feel you are, there is always a way to be truly free.  And that is by expressing the essence of you, and being true to your own heart and talents and powers.  Stay strong, stay true, and do not waver.  

HIDEKI’S DOOR

A knock on the door

I know you wish to reach out, and yet you hold back.  I know you feel drawn to knock on this door and to see whether it will be answered this time…and yet you fear so much.  You fear that it will not be answered…that the answer or the face that appears beyond the door will not be to your liking…that if you enter, you may never return…  I cannot put your fears to rest, for only you can do that.  But I can tell you what I see.  

I see a spirit whose flame has flickered low,, whose light is in danger of going out if it does not take the next step.  For years you have passed this door and many times you have found yourself here.  You may even have knocked at the door, only to flee, like a terrified child, before the door was opened to you.  

I say to you now: it is time.  Reach out.  Knock at the door.  And let what will be, be.  

Nervous about a new chance…feeling as though your comfort zone is far better than the unknown; longing to travel and to change, yet unwilling to do anything about it; procrastinations and old habits keeping you from reaching out and accepting what is being offered.  

You are ready…it is simply nerves that are holding you back, conditioned fears and internalised voices from the past.  Reach out…take a hold of the handle and be ready for the wonder of the unknown that lies beyond the door.  The doors of perception are about to change…forever.   

You have nothing to fear, except fear freezing your hand, again.  Knock on the door.  All is well.

THE DRAGONFAE GODDESS TIAMET

You are stronger than you think

I know who you are.  I know the good of you, the multiplicity of you, and the incredible richness of you.  I know what you have survived.  I know what great lies have been told.  I know how hard the path has been, how deep the despair, how savage the untruths.  I am here to help you restore your own sense of glory, your own truth, your own shining self.  The truth is that you are all things and all beings, you are magnificent and truthfully Heaven is your mother, the Earth is your mother, the sea is your mother and the fire of creation is yours, too.

You are all these things – star being, dragonkin, sea-creature, Earth dweller and forest child.  You are sea and salt, and wood and stone, and you are grander and more magnificent than words or thoughts can tell you of.

Tiamet’s energy can be almost overwhelming, but she is such a strong, super-protective mother being.  Yet she is here to remind us of our very nature, the roots of our existence, the atoms of our being.  It’s time to work with the knowledge of the eternal nature of the soul, be aware of your own soul’s journey through time and space, be aware that you are made up of galactic (star) material, earthly materials, of the ocean of fire.  A time when others say things about you that are not only untrue, they are inspired by their own fear.  Soon you will have recognition and a kind of rebirth, and you will realise that you are a strong warrior, a being whose spirit can never be vanquished, just as your complexity and brilliance can never be fully captured in words or images.  

Build something for you, now, and for the generations to come.  Consider the legacy you wish to leave for your descendants and for the panet, and work from this place.  Surround yourself with people who share your values and insights, and learn more about what it is that you can do to stop others being persecuted.  Know that no matter what appears to have happened and no matter how tragic or disastrous it may seem to be, you are in fact strong enough to not only cope, but to transcend this circumstance and rise again.  

You are greater than those who have hurt you and you no longer need to live with fear.  You will soon be free, washed clean and reborn to yourself.  Never underestimate your own strength.  Just quietly begin to build again.  

Wow!  Deliciously fabulous and such powerful messages from the Dragonfae guides.  Opportunities, Transformation and Choice.  Yum!  Wishing you a fantabulous week and may the approaching Spring energy lighten your heart, inspire your creativity and guide you to the seeds to plant.  Remember to grab one of the Reading Specials and the Ostara Magickal Guide (OMGoddess), they will both help and support you as we come to this place of balance and new beginnings.  Big hugs and squeezes.

Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Melancholy, Majestical, Maddening, Merry, Manifesting Monday!  

It’s the last Monday of February, this month has flown by fast, unlike January!

If you have worked with me, you will know that I am blunt, speak the truth as I am told it, and am also highly compassionate.  So you ready to go a bit deeper?  As quite frankly “fluffy” conversations bore the snot out of me.

So let me ask.  How are you doing?  I mean really doing? What’s happening in your body?  Your energy field?  Your heart and soul?

Do you feel that the world is going to hell in a handbasket?  Because let’s be honest we are still in the middle of a massive pandemic and I know quite a few people who are struggling with the choices of what to do around that, or the effects of it. 

We are advised “everything is going back to normal”, but let’s be honest – WTF is normal right now?  (Normal is a delicious palette to create something better in my opinion).

And now we have Russia invading Ukraine!

I will be honest, when that happened last week my heart hurt and there was a sense of really, WTF!  I’m sure you share the heaviness in my heart at what’s happening in Ukraine and in so many places around the world. We humans know how to make a mess, don’t we?  As always, whenever I feel powerless I redouble my efforts to put my work out into the world to help people live more empowered lives so they can pass on that healing. 

Quite a few of my clients and friends shared all the feelings they are having at the moment.  Ranging from anger, fear, grief, confusion, overwhelm and anxiety, and ancestral memory which is in your bones and your DNA.

A  few of them wanted to normalise all of those feelings and stuff them into a box and put them in the bottom of the closet. All of which I totally understand.  

But let me ask, what do you do when things flood up like that and knock you sideways? When things feel dark and not comfortable?

It’s normal to dive into the fight, flight, freeze response, or more commonly the overwhelm, shut down and tune everything out.  Yeah, those work for a wee bit, but they aren’t the solution.

More than ever this is the time to ground, to feel your feet on the earth and release all the sticky, icky bits down to turn into cosmic compost.  This is the time to connect to a daily practice that nourishes and supports you – whether that is prayer, meditation, journaling, walking in nature.  It’s the time to reconnect to your light.  That gorgeous spark inside you that burns strong and true.  

This is the time to be gentle with yourself and not try and “logic” your way out of the feelings, but do things that bring you joy and allow that dis-quiet and dis-ease to flow through you.   And to breathe into them and allow them to be transmuted in the flame of your inner light.  

When we stand with our feet on the earth, grounded, heart up and open, realise we are all in this together and welcome in support, magick and miracles happen. 

Because remember – we are all interdependent and interconnected.  

We are all part of a Divine EcoSystem and Community.  

And when you feel like you have no control over what is happening around you, remember the Serenity Prayer.  “Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference.”

This all ties into the energy of the New Moon in Pisces that happens on March 2nd.  

“At the time of the New Moon the sky goes dark, not even a small crescent of the Moon can yet be seen. Darkness has always been synonymous with the creative feminine that lives within all of us. It is in the darkness that creative energy is at its highest. It is in the darkness that we often feel safe enough to become our true selves and where our deepest emotions are often set free.

Under the March 2nd Pisces New Moon, we may be feeling close to the darkness. We may find ourselves journeying through the shadows, or coming face to face with whatever has been dwelling in the hidden corners of our heart, mind, and soul.

It is easy to be afraid of the dark as it can often stir things that we don’t wish to confront. But this confrontation is often necessary to lead a richer and fuller life. This confrontation is often necessary to discover ourselves on a deeper level and to move past our blocks and barriers.

There is a strength that can be found when we allow ourselves to sit in the dark. Just think of the seed. As it is submerged into the dark soil, it really has just been positioned to grow and flourish into something new and grand. The same can be said for us.

Darkness is also the foundation for the magical energies of creation and manifestation. It is in the darkness that energy can be morphed into something. It is in the darkness that new life takes hold.

Under the energies of the March New Moon, we may feel gently guided to sit with the darkness within. This may require us to confront something deeper, or allow us to connect with the energy of magic and creation.”

There is a strong emphasis under this March 2022 Pisces New Moon to take the time to think about our past and what we can learn, or what we need to move on from.

So when I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide and share this week, The Earth Warriors Oracle stepped up front and centre, there was no doubt.  So if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them.  They are frigging perfect for this time!  

“Earth Warriors are the healers and transformational leaders for a more beautiful world.  They destabilise the status quo with their innovative attitude and higher consciousness, defying convention and living from the heart…….they seek love as their leader and wisdom as their guide…..they know what is true in their own hearts, and they refuse to be conditioned by mass consciousness into fear, apathy, complacency or overwhelm and despair. 

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.”

Phew!  Okay my gorgeous bean, I’ve chuntered on enough (if you’ve read this far).  Let’s crack on with the reading.  

Take a big exhale out through your mouth, let that old energy just flow out of your body.  Then a glorious slow inhale through your nose, long and deep – let it fill all the cracks and crevices within you with cooling, soothing darkness.  Then exhale with a sigh.  Keep breathing this way as you invite into your mind’s eye the sense of release and the sense of a glorious tapestry that is a web connecting us all together.  Let this whisper into the cracks and crevices in your being and when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tickle at the edges of your mind.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see, shall we?

CIRCLE CROSS OF TENAN

Rare Intersection of Heaven and Earth

Your plans and purpose are in alignment with greater cosmic forces.  Whether you see it coming or not, things will fall into place and what you have been working towards will come to fruition.  A rare intersection of heaven and earth will result in a precious manifestation of grace.  The Divine shall correct a situation that is in need of realignment.  Fear not.  Pray boldly and be faithful.  All is well.

Your soul is a facilitator of sacred union between the spiritual realms and the earthly worlds.  Whether you do this as an artist, a healer, an activist, a priestess or shaman or in some other way, honour your path and your purpose.  Take care of yourself and prioritise your spiritual life according to the practices and methods that help you remain open, connected and grounded, with your heart open to Great Spirit and moved by love for our earth.

There are times when heaven and earth align and the power unleashed is considerable.  People rally and situations fall into place.  As if by a miracle, patience, persistence, effort and energy finally come together and a creation of tangible goodness takes shape in the world.  It can be unexpected.  You may even have almost given up hope.  Then suddenly, everything comes together. 

The Circle Cross of Tenan is a sign of such a happening in your world, a moment of powerful grace, where Spirit makes its presence felt upon the earth.  

ALAKOA

Spirit of the Warrior

Though you yearn for peace, you recognise that, without truth, genuine peace can never be.  Even if it triggers an upheaval of transformation, the need to set things right is strong in you.  This is the inner drive of the spiritual warrior, the compelling soul need to uphold truth, goodness and justice.  You will fight for these things because that is your way, Spirit Warrior.  Trust, see and feel the positive impact that you are making in the world.  You are relentless and the Divine is within you.  

Do not give up.  If you feel hopelessness, despair, defeat or frustration, and you wonder if it is really worth it, place your mind in your heart and your heart in awareness of what it is that is inspiring you.  Do you feel alone on your quest?  Look for the legions of beings in spirit and upon the earth that fight alongside you, fearless and ferocious with love.  Be uplifted by your fellow Spirit Warriors, beloved one.  Feel the joy of their love and unity with you.  You have access to the divine power that conquers any obstacle, wins every battle, and secures every victory.

The Spirit Warrior doesn’t have a violent soul, but does have a powerful energy and a great need to put that energy to good use as an effective action-oriented presence for higher consciousness on earth.  The Spirit Warrior within you needs to feel that your life is dedicated to something meaningful and magnificent, to witness the positive difference that you are creating through your actions.  Don’t allow others to stop you from unleashing this beautiful divine masculine spirit power in your mind, your soul and our world.  We need you!!

AMUATA

Sage of Higher Knowledge

Seek what feels true, even beyond the logical.  If something doesn’t feel right, challenge it and dig deeper.  Educate and inform yourself on matters of importance to you.  Trust tat your mind is strong and bright enough to do this.  Enhance your self-esteem by researching for information and trusting your intuition to help you discern what is useful and true.  Have faith in your own mental abilities.  If others have criticised you or made you feel inadequate in understanding, cast that off as belonging to the past and not relevant to you now.  You will become immune to manipulation by others, who may be convincing but not necessarily accurate or helpful.  Trust the power of your mind to receive and recognise the answers that you need.  You will find your way.  

Test all opinions, advice, research and alleged facts according to your own intuition and instinct.  Select that which is helpful for you and notice that which is best case aside, even if just for a time.  Seek information and assistance from those that you feel can assist you – and yet place no human advisor above the ultimate, divine authority, which will guide you on how to proceed through a deep inner knowing.  There is always new knowledge beyond existing boundaries of thought.  We simply need to be open and willing to receive it with patience, discernment and trust in the greater guiding power.  

An answer is coming, an important piece of information, and that when you are centred in your heart you will recognise that for what it is and and know how to proceed  If you have ever been put down or judged as not being clever enough, or if your intellect has been worshipped and encouraged at the expense of the intuitions of your heart.  There are many ways of knowing, and we are all unique in our particular combinations of intellect, instinct, intuition and insight.  You have been created exactly as you were meant to be for sacred purpose.  The judgement of others – for better or worse – are meaningless.  

What matters is that you find your own best way of sensing truth, honouring when something doesn’t feel right and moving forward when something rings true.  

Wow!  I don’t know about you, but that was an amazing reading.  So delicious one, take this gorgeous reading and energy with you as you walk your path this week.  Remember to practice loving kindness and a neutral mind.  Huge hugs and squeezes and remember to breathe into that glorious heart space! Oh and for all those who have asked if there is going to be a guide for Equinox, you bet! It will come out later this week.

Imbolc, New Moon and Chinese New Year!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Magnificent, Majestic, Meaningful, Miraculous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you delicious lovely?  It feels like we haven’t connected for ages, but in reflection it has only been a month!  But thank you so much for all your wonderful emails, sharing your stories, and asking if the readings were coming back.  They were all read and greatly appreciated!

I don’t know about you but January has been playing with time in weird ways.  One moment it feels as if it was zipping by, and the next moment it felt as if it was dragging on for nearly a year!  (Most discombobulating!)

Tomorrow (February 1st) brings us Imbolc, a New Moon and Chinese New Year, lots of delicious energy to invite you to gently awaken and plant new seeds, and to support you with this I have created a gift for you!  (Think of it as a spiritual gardening guide lol).  

And I want you to ask yourself  – what are your seeds going to be?

What is your Truth?  What do you Desire?  (This isn’t about what your mind says you “should do”, it’s about what your heart and soul are calling you to do).  Those are two powerful questions to ask yourself and then listen to the whispers that arise.  

I love the energy of Imbolc, it’s gentle, inviting and nurturing.  It’s a time of AWAKENING.

Not a TO DO Awaken, but a gentle stirring, a slight flexing and a big stretch. 

From the hibernation of Winter we oh so gently move into the hope of a spring to come, something new and delightful.  From the dark cocoon, we peek to see if things have changed.  

Spiritually, this is a time of new life coming into manifestation. We may only be seeing the tiniest hints of life above the surface but things are really beginning to stir in the darkness.

So come back to the questions – What is Your Truth?  What do you Desire?

It occurred to me the other day that I haven’t written about Imbolc in depth before and so that got things perking and I created a gift for you!

I have named her Fabulous Imbolc (fondly referred to as FI, in honour of my amazing big sister).  

FI will walk you through this delicious energy, invite you to awaken and guide you with a very easy ritual to allow the seeds of your soul to come to life.  I hope you enjoy it.  

Imbolc Blessings to you gorgeous one.  

May the sun shine on your face, your desires rise to the surface and the seeds that you dream into being flourish throughout the year.  

Imbolc also ties into the New Moon energy that we have.  This is the New Moon that welcomes in a new Lunar Year (Year of the Tiger!)  

This is a time illumination – the illumination that comes with waking up. But this illumination still has a very sleepy quality about it. And your consciousness is still very connected to spirit right now. Your dreams, your subconscious, Spirit – these are all really accessible this month.

Being open to all this spiritual energy can bring up a lot of intense emotion. This is a month of blustery winds & they’re swirling all kinds of things up for us this month.

It may feel really chaotic & out of balance.

Remember to be so gentle with yourself this month. Just observe whatever emotions are coming up for you. Try to ride the wave of whatever changes you are facing.  

“If you want to make some long-term commitments in your life, this New Moon would be the perfect time to set some intentions. Then after Mercury stations direct, that would be the perfect time to take action on them.”

Do you see the theme that is running through all of these events?  I hope so!

Okay, I have chuntered on long enough (if you managed to read this far lol), so let’s crack on with the reading.  

So please let me introduce you to your new guides – Love Your Inner Goddess Oracle.

“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!

Okay gorgeous one.  Settle, just breathe yourself here into this moment.  Breathe long and deep and allow the whispers of your soul to come to the surface.  What is your Truth?  What do you Desire?  Then, when you’re ready, pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go meet your glorious guides!

FREAKING BEAUTIFUL

You are here to march to your own beat.  You can be happy and free, whether the world looks at you with awe, admiration, confusion or love – or all of these at once.

Normal is not for you.  Don’t be afraid of that!  Deep down you are the good kind of crazy, an individual.  You would never be happy trying to be the same as everyone else!  You have an inner sense of justice and a need to question authority when it doesn’t earn your respect.  This may make some people uncomfortable, whilst it inspires others to think for themselves and not automatically assume that everything they are told is correct.  We need more of this in our world!

You are a free thinker with a different point of view to most people.  This isn’t a sign that something is wrong with you, but a sign of something special – a gift to see and express things differently.  The world needs much more of that too!

Your weird streak is a proverbial breath of fresh air, preventing unimaginative collapse into the boredom of sameness.  It also makes you a divine poster child for others who want to break free from conformity and unapologetically be truly themselves.  It means that you get to dream up your own destiny, and you don’t have to worry about what anyone else has to say about it.  The Universe will support you every step of the way – because it so enjoys you just being you!  

CREATRIX

Your soul is a divine creative fire.  She wants to break free from what has been and give life to something new.  You may experience this as feelings of restlessness, of being confined or as a craving for something more that you cannot quite articulate.  Your soul doesn’t want you to push that new life away.  She wants you to embrace it.  When you let go of your inhibitions and freely express yourself, stagnant situations will be cleared out by the powerful release of your energy, which creates openness.  Let  your inner artist  out to play in whatever way feels fun, raw and honest for you.  It’s time to experience something new.  

You have the need and the ability for creative self expression.  Whether it’s your look, your room, your art, your altar, your journal or your life, you need to be free to let the inspiration within find a way to take shape in the world.  Some ideas will come together beautifully, straight away, and some will need to be revised or released completely, until you feel satisfied by the expression.

Your creativity is most powerful and healing when it is true.  It is not about someone else getting it, or reaching some imaginary standard of perfection or making a million dollars.  The Universe has a beautiful plan for your life.  When we honestly and creatively express ourselves, we are playing with the Universe and helping that beautiful plan to unfold.  

You know that the world created from our hearts is more valuable, beautiful and real than any world created from fear.  Creativity is such a gift; it is worth the price of being different and not always being understood.  You are an inspiration.  Don’t hide your creative fire away.  Let it burn and light up the world.  

ON YOUR OWN TERMS

You are not the person you once were.  You know it, but others might not always be ready to let the old you go so easily.  Do not allow yourself to be shoved back into patterns of behaviour that are not true to who you are now.  You have worked hard to grow and become this new self.  Believe that she is more real than the old you, even if she is less familiar to others (and maybe even to you) at this stage.

All that will change, and what is new now will become familiar and easy for you to sustain in the near future.  Be stubborn in a good way whilst you – and others around you – come to realise that the new you is the real you.  

Others may offer their input, but when it comes down to it, it is you alone making your life decisions.  Your choice may once have been to meet the expectations and honour the opinions of other people – but you are aware now that the best choices for you actually honour your own heart, irrespective of whether others understand your reasons or feelings.

You might have to practice not feeling guilty or selfish about choosing to live your life in the way that suits your soul.  You might have to be patient with those around you who need some time to get out of the habit of expecting you to do as you are told.  It may take some time for them to adjust to the way you are now, behaving and thinking based on your own inner guidance.

You now know that you don’t have to wait for permission.  You get to choose how you want to feel, how you want to live, and who you want to be.  You’re ready for the responsibility and sweet reward of living your life on your own terms.  

Woosah!  How fantabulous!  So gorgeous one, please claim your free gift of Fabulous Imbolc, dance with your soul and your magic, allowing your seeds to come to light.  Remind yourself  how fantabulous you are and how so very loved you are.  Wishing you a stupendous week, be kind to yourself, be gentle with yourself and in the way that fits for you – Awaken – we need your light.  Big hugs and squeezes! 

Last Reading of the Year, Solstice is here! And a Massive Thanks for You!

· ·

Happy, Happy, Happy Marvelous, Manifesting, Magnificent, Magickal, Miraculous, Mellow, Magnanimous Monday! And the last reading of the year! (Holy Hannah it has certainly been a year).

Another turn of the Wheel, another cycle of growth, coming to an end.

But let’s be honest – we are blessed to be here!

Think back to who you were a year ago.  The person you were heading into the 2021 cycle.  Think of all the life you’ve lived over the past year.  You’re different now.  

You’ve faced challenges. You’ve had to stretch & push yourself to get through them. You’ve learned things because of them – about yourself, about the world around you.

You’re wiser than you were a year ago.

It has been a long hard year. And now you get to rest. 

This Winter Solstice carries us into the season of deep, profound, medicinal rest.

Resting is your MOST IMPORTANT WORK in the season ahead. Can you make ‘Rest’ the most important thing on your To Do list this winter?? (And for more amazing ways to mark this season of Solstice, The Book of Winter Solstice will help you there!)

I sure am!  With Solstice tomorrow, I am giving myself the time to reflect, nourish my soul and relax.  So effective Solstice I am taking a couple of weeks off and the only “planned things” are prepping and cooking for the homeless on Xmas Eve and Xmas Day, then doing the family dinner on Boxing Day.  

The rest of the time I plan on doing some glorious deep exploration with my soul, unraveling of this last year and visioning for 2022, oh yes, and reading all those books I haven’t had time to! (I am so excited!)

How are you feeling about 2022?  What do you believe it holds for you, or are you leary to even venture down that road?  (Because let’s be honest the last two years have certainly been most “interesting” to say the least!)  

A gentle reminder that the Winter Solstice reading special is still available for a few more days, and one of the readings is working with the tarot and capturing the major energy that will be in play for you personally, in 2022.  (Mine was so accurate for this year it was uncanny). These will be delivered in January.

There is one thing I would like to say to YOU (yes, that’s YOU).  

I am so grateful for YOU.   

All the amazing messages, stories and heartfelt longings that you have all shared with me over the last year have been incredible.  The sharing, and your incredible strength and vulnerability, fills my heart with huge gratitude that you are part of my community.  So massive thanks! You are really quite amazing!

I wish for you a season filled with rest, relaxation, love and magic!  Give yourself time to dream and the little seeds of your future that are tucked safe into the earth, let them rest as you breathe them into being.  

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading.  It was quite interesting today, as I know for a fact I was guided to the 3 cards that should be shared and yet when I laid them out there were 4?????  Ah well, there is a message here that really wants to be shared!  

So when I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide and support this week I giggled when I saw it was The Oracle of Shadows and Light.  With the invitation to walk into the darkness of Winter Solstice and soon to be Winter, as well as the Full Moon.  Perfect!

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them:-  Wisdom for Misfits, Mystics, Seekers, and Wanderers. 

Bittersweet…Unheard…Unconventional…Rebellious…Cheeky…Whimsical…Invisible.  They’re not the words you often hear associated with the spiritual world, are they?  Nevertheless, some of the most spiritual beings who have ever lived are those who have been most at odds with what we call the mainstream.  They do not fit in.  They have had moments of despair.  And they know being truthful, and being real, is one of the greatest strengths and spiritual paths of all!  They ask you to step out from the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and to consult with an oracle that acknowledges your individuality and strange genius!  

How’s that for a warm welcome?

So take a moment dear one to just breathe yourself back into your body.  See your heart as a delicious magnet that pulls all the pieces of you back.  Pieces you may have left in the bustle of getting ready for the holidays.  Pieces that may be attached to an old hurt.  Just allow your amazing heart magnet to pull them all back to you, here and now.  

Then when you are ready, listen to the guided visualisation and then pick the card or cards that call to you.  

Did you remember to pick?

Come see.

LANTERN FAIRY

This sweet fairy is showing you a way through a barrier you have reached in your life.  This may be in any area of your life – but it does feel that you have come up against a very solid obstacle.  This gentle fairy, with her bright lantern, can take you to a place in this wall that has already come down, so you can move through this obstacle without force or fear.  Your only requirement is to trust this fairy and then to take down several bricks after you have moved through so the wall between this world and the next, your love and your life, becomes slowly less and less solid.  The wall is coming down:  this is the fairy’s role, to help you move beyond the wall.  Trust her.  She will guide you.

Sometimes, people say you should be cautious about where information is coming from.  And that is indeed true.  I am simply holding up the lantern I carry and gently letting you see the likely outcome of the decisions you are making and offering a clear solution to the problem at hand.  Something has come to an end.  A true end, and you have, as they say, hit the wall.  You could try digging under it, or climbing over it, or you could try taking down the wall brick by brick.  But if you follow me, I can show you a place where the wall has already come down, and where you can move through this obstacle without pain.  My guidance is safe, clear, and gentle.  I am here to clear the way and light the path.  It is up to you whether you make it harder than it needs to be. 

Old patterns are being removed, little by little, but will need your trust.  Old shielding against certain energies needs to be replaced and reworked, as it is no longer in line with what you wish for and in fact may be proving to be a barrier, which is keeping you isolated instead of protected.  Trust where the light leads you – go where you can feel true love, kindness, and freedom.  Avoid all that comes from anger, hatred, judgment, blame and ridicule.  

WITCH AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Storms fly about her, electrical whips crack through the heavy air with their bites of fire, and she sits among them, hugging her hourglass, holding everything together till the force creating the change has done its work.  When the Witch at the End of the World makes her appearance to you, you will know that something’s time has come.  There can be no more delaying, for the change has begun.  So the best thing for you to do now is prepare for this change.  Find solutions to challenges that will come up when the change comes.  You will be fine, by the way, and all will be well, but there will be a time of seeming chaos and difficulty.  If you are prepared, and ready to let go and change, and let something end, the little witch’s countdown will not affect you as it will affect others who refuse to acknowledge that changes are coming and become fearful at their inevitable approach.  There is nothing to fear, but plenty to prepare for.  You will be safe, and well, and very ready to embrace the new world.  

I am not wicked, but I am a witch, and changes are made when the world bends and shifts.  I hold this hourglass up to  you now so you know that the time for an ending is almost upon us.  You can see the signs all about you – the strange weather, the hurricanes, the cyclones, the earth changes all about us – but so many simply say I am wicked for showing you this.  They blame me for what they call the catastrophes, and they ignore the signs.  They are with you, and it is time to be ready.  We are all about to experience a huge change – and it will be for the better.  But while we hold on to the old, the storms will blast us, and the land will shift, and self-healing will look like destruction.

There is nothing to be frightened of; only a voyage to weather, and you’ll make it through to the other side of the storm.  The changes are part of our journey to a fifth-dimensional world, of the shift to a more peaceful planet, where shadows and light are loved and accepted.  All is well. 

MEND A BROKEN HEART FAIRY

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

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

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

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

FAIRY OF THE HIGHLANDS

It’s time to be brave.  

The Fairy of the Highlands does not want to fight; she feels it is not in hernature.  She wants to resolve disputes peacefully.  But she will fight if it must come to that.  And she is showing you now that you too have the means to stand up for yourself – even though you have almost chronically avoided conflict and allowed others to take advantage.  

It is time to take up this sword, step into that part of yourself that knows how to take a stand, speak the truth, and not back down when the threat of conflict looms.  It may seem unnatural, and wrong, and frightening, and this little fairy knows it.  But it is time; and this giving up of what you have worked so hard for in order to avoid conflict or confrontation is no longer right.  Take the stand, and hold up the word.  

The time of truce is over.  It is time to speak your truth and be strong.  People have been taking over your ground, wanting what you have worked hard for, without doing the work themselves.  They have done so by taking advantage of your peaceful nature.  But enough is enough.  Sad as it is, it is time to change this, to cut away the cords between you and those who have taken so much, and now you will go into battle.  Yes, it is sad.  Yes, the Highland Fairy is sad for you.  But do not allow sorrow and guilt to neglect self-protection. 

Honour yourself, raise your sword, and do not back down!…………………………………..

Woosah!  Delicious and clear and interestingly enough 2 of these cards have turned up at this exact same time two years ago.  So there is a message there!  

Anyhow, delicious lovely.  Blessings on your holiday season.  Don’t forget the Guidance for 2022 is available for the next wee bit as is the Book of Winter Solstice.  

May you be well, May you be safe, May you be at peace, May you live with ease.

See you next year.  Big hugs and squeezes!

Full Moon/Cold Moon, Solstice, BOWS, Joy and a Special Reading.

· ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Mystical, Marvelous, Magnanimous, Manifesting Monday!

I don’t know about you but I am getting inundated with emails that are telling me 18 days left of 2021, 12 days until Xmas and a myriad of other things.  It makes me think – do these people think I’m daft?  Living under a rock? Or from another planet?

We can all do the math and figure out how many days of this year are left and as Xmas never changes its date – duh, we can do that math!  Sigh.  To me this creates another sense of stress in an already stressful season, let alone year.  It’s as if the world is going a tad bonkers and fear, scarcity and perfection are driving the unsupervised school bus!  (Terrifying thought!)

This is yet another reason why Solstice (which happens on December 21st) resonates for me on such a deep level.  So for all you amazing beasties who have emailed and messaged asking if there is going to be a Book of Winter Solstice this year (fondly referred to as BOWS), you bet your arse!  It is here and there is an amazing (if I say so myself) guided visualisation that will release the stress, the ties that may be binding a tad too tight and fill your soul.  

Also, in response to “you must do this before the New Year” emails and sentiments that are floating around.  I call bollocks!   To tell me that if I don’t do this or that then 2022 will be a poor year is just preying on fear, and that doesn’t work for me! So I decided to create a Reading Special with two new readings to really help you tap into the energy of the New Year for yourself in a more personal way.

One is, what does 2022 bring to you energetically and how to embrace and embody it all year long.  The other is, as we step into 2022 what is the path and the obstacle for you?  What needs to be released so that your path opens up even more?

So if either of those resonate for you, I am opening up spots for those readings and you will receive them at the beginning of January.  

But let’s get back to talking about Xmas and Solstice.  

The other day someone asked me if I was “anti-Xmas” as I seem to talk more about Solstice. 

Mmmmm, nope.  When my kids were tiny we celebrated both and most certainly Xmas was more of the main event, yet it didn’t feel as if it had a lot of soul in it, Joy in essence seemed to be missing, it was more about consumerism and putting on a front. Also, for me I wanted to rest and hibernate, but it was a time of parties, gatherings and bright lights.  

Here’s an example of how bonkers I was with making Xmas “Disney perfect”, (which was certainly expected by my wasbund).  My youngest (who turns 19 this year), was born on the Winter Solstice (December 21st) and I had to stay in the hospital until the day before Xmas Eve.

What would you do if you were coming home with a 2 day old child to 4 more children two days before Xmas?  Relax? Rest?  Let perfection fly out of the window?  I most certainly hope you would.  

However, one of the traditions that we had was that everyone would receive fabulous, funky, homemade pjs on Xmas Eve to open before they went to bed, made by moi!

So you guessed it!  With a wee babe snuggled up on me I sewed, and sewed, and sewed and dashed back and forth.  20 pairs of pjs were made, cookies were baked, baby and kids were tended and – drum roll please……………………by Xmas day I felt fucked!  

But hey, I had satisfied everyone around me and the societal conditioning of being perfect, and most certainly the conditioning of consumerism.  Yet I felt empty, confused, tired and wondering where the soul in celebrations was.  

Shortly after I chose to become a single mum of 5, and as I was still buying into the conditioning and just exploring my path, the stress level was brutal.

The presents (and finding the ‘perfect’ one that matched the commercials even if it was well over the budget), the baking of a myriad of cookies for a bake sale, finding the perfect tree, making sure the decorations were stupendous, sewing costumes for Xmas pageants, sitting through those Xmas pageants …… and the list went on, and on.  Yup, Joy had left the building with the overwhelm flooding in!

As Goddess forbid I certainly didn’t want my kids to feel left out or that I was fucking up in any shape or form, and it didn’t help that their father turned it into a competition.  (I can see you nodding your head!)  

Interestingly enough after a few years when Finn (the youngest) was about 4, and I was deepening my path, he was adamant that the time up to his birthday shouldn’t be filled with Xmas stuff.  He wanted to celebrate his birthday first and then Solstice.  Wow!  That kicked me in the arse and the game changed.  

On his birthday we would have a party or whatever he chose (normally it included sledding and a snowball fight).  Then in the evening we would turn all the lights off, open the doors and windows and start our Solstice celebration.  A spiral walk, stories told in the dark, then turning up the lights, bringing in a tree we had harvested and decorating it whilst eating Solstice nibbles and laughing our soxs off.  What a difference!  There was soul, there was depth, there were rituals, connection and it wasn’t about the presents it was about the season and the people.  

So no, I’m not anti-Xmas, but to me Solstice is richer, deeper and far more nourishing.  I feel aligned with the seasonal energy. Modern society & the demands we put on ourselves, can keep us from our most important work in winter: To REST.

Too often, we go through winter out of alignment with the seasonal energy: we’re working against it, and it’s creating a lot of dis-ease in our spirits. It depletes you.

This is why The Book of Winter Solstice was created.  To offer a different, deeper and more meaningful way to engage with all that our society and our soul needs.  

Two days before Solstice we have the Full Moon/Cold Moon.  Over in Creatrix Circle we are gathering on this Full Moon to celebrate the Winter Solstice.  

While Nature appears to be dead and lifeless, looks can be deceiving. Deep beneath the surface are themes of rest, renewal, and hope.

December’s Cold Moon spiritual meaning corresponds with Nature’s dormant energy. It’s a time for introspection and soul-searching, a chance to recharge and reconnect. This is a magical season full of transformation and deep internal work.

 Winter can become a time of feeding the spirit and nurturing the soul, not just emptying our bank account and fraying our nerves.

It may seem counterproductive to pause, rest, and reflect. However, remember that your worth isn’t defined by what you’ve accomplished. Use the Cold Moon as a symbolic guide to freeze and hibernate as well. 

Slow down and be fully present in activities that truly bring you joy and pleasure. Before you know it, Spring will be here, so enjoy these quiet moments of rest and solitude.  So why not create a to-do list for this Winter holiday that captures your inner child. What would you like to do to bring more holiday magic to the season?

With so many obligations during December, find time to slow down and read a book you enjoy. With the longer nights and colder days, it’s a perfect time to snuggle up and relax. Pick something purely for pleasure or a non-fiction book that can help you learn something new or change your perspective.

Lol, so there we go, Solstice, Xmas, Book of Winter Solstice, Full Moon and Solstice Reading all in a nutshell!

Okay – now let’s crack on with the reading.  When I sat with all my lovely decks and asked who felt a strong urge to come support and guide us this week as we head into the dark and the shortest day I was tickled to see who hopped up. 

The glorious guides who were adamant are the Sacred Destiny Oracle.  So in case  you have never met them, let me introduce you – and if you have met them before, let me reintroduce you (as not to do so is rude!).  “You have a sacred destiny; we all do.  There is a powerful and profound reason that you are here on the planet.  However, sometimes it may be difficult to understand what that reason is and perceive what is required on your journey into the future.  It may be a challenge to know what the next step in life should be.  This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul.  In ancient traditions, shamans, medicine women, witches, visionaries, and prophets all accessed hallowed knowledge by observing their natural environment.  These wise beings stepped through mystic gateways into inner realms to bring back meaning to the seemingly random event of life. “

I seriously snorted tea out of my nose when they appeared.  Why? 

Re-read the last two lines.  

Okay darling one.  Please take a moment to just relax.  Don’t worry about if the lights look great, or how you are going to deal with Uncle Tony at the Xmas dinner.  Just BE here NOW.  Take a massive deep breath out first through an open mouth.  Then allow your breathing to find its open delightful, rich rhythm and let your shoulders drop.  As we have just lit the third candle of Advent, Joy, the candle of the animal world.  So what does Joy feel like to you right now?  Is it elusive or is it permeating your being.  Breathe.  

If you want to play with Joy a bit more I have a guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

STAYING FOCUSED

Be clear about where you are going.  Do not compromise!

Follow your dreams; you deserve the best.  Prioritise your life.  

Once you decide on a direction, hold the course.  Do not veer.  Do what’s important, and release the rest.  Place your intent and passion on one thing, rather than scattering in many directions,and you will be successful.

On the path, it’s easy for the traveler to be distracted by people, events, and even shiny objects.  Do not take any side roads.  Stay the course.

Keep going, no matter what emerges on your path that distracts you.  It’s easy to get lost and forget where you’re heading.  Recommit yourself to your destination.

What you focus on is what you create, so put your attention on what is worthwhile, beautiful, and inspiring.  Refrain from focusing on what’s not working: only focus on the direction you want to go.  

MIRACLES

Just around the bend, a miracle is waiting to happen.  

Release fear and uncertainty, and majestic wonders wait to unfold for you.  

Watch for them and embrace them.  Some come in an unlikely form.  Trust that all is unfolding for your highest good.  Expect miracles in your life.

What is expected tends to be realised.  The more you become aware of the small marvels in your life, the more you will grow in magnitude.  Celebrate and cherish them when they appear, no matter how small they may seem.

What others see as ordinary, you see as wondrous.  Look at your life in a new way.  Let go of fear and expectation, and allow the Goddess to solve your challenges in mysterious and wondrous ways.  

Don’t limit the way you think miracles can appear in your life.  All is well.

FARAWAY PLACES

Stop playing it safe.  

Get ready for new horizons and change in your life.  A journey is coming.  

It might be to foregin lands or faraway places, or may be an inner shift that changes your destiny.  It’s all beneficial.  Sometimes we can feel wobbled when we are not in our normal surroundings, however, you are safe and protected.  Good fortune ensues.

Part of the glory of travel is stepping out of old habits, routines, and the repetitiveness of everyday life.  It can feel daunting, yet in no small way your life is a spiritual voyage.  Change is coming.  Things are not as they seem. There are no wrong turns; every adventure and missed-venture is part of the course.  

You are on a pilgrimage of the soul.  Keep your metaphorical bag packed; some unexpected experiences are ahead.  Be ready for anything.  The joy of travel is that you can begin to experience the everyday as if you are seeing it for the first time.  

Nothing should be taken for granted.

Absolutely perfect!  How did that feel for you?  Wishing you a stupendous Full Moon.  Remember, if you want to learn something different and like stories, lore and rituals, as well as a glorious guided visualisation for Solstice, gift yourself the BOWS.  Also, don’t forget if you want to take advantage of the Solstice special on the two new readings, please do.  Remember to play for goodness sakes and don’t get caught up in what you think it “should look like”, sending you massive warm hugs, big gingerbread kisses and golden light!  See you next week for the last reading of 2021!
