Divine guidance

We are on a Threshold, Eclipse Season is here, and Summer Solstice is coming!

Happy Marvelous, Magickal, Merry, Mighty, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday! The first Monday of June and gosh we have a lot to cover (so much so that I had to create another post), lol. So with that being said let’s go celebrate this magnificent Monday in style! As we unpack some interesting energy!

Okay, let’s start with Threshold, and you may be saying – Um, err, what? With everything that has happened in the past few months, we are at a place of Threshold. I don’t know about you, but you can feel it in the air, in the energy of the people around you, and in the collective consciousness. As the old “normal” crumbles (but is certainly fighting to stay), there is a sense of fear filled with expectation. A liminal time. A space where we are between the old and the new.

Often, when encountering thresholds, we talk as if our work is that of successfully “passing through” them. We speak of “making healthy transitions.” We seek out advice and support as we decide which thresholds to lean into and which to resist. The goal, it would seem, is figuring out how to travel forward in the right way. But what if we looked at it a different way?

“A threshold is a space to imagine a new way, and a new self. Not moving or pushing but sitting and cultivating… The goal is to allow you space and time to reflect on your past, present, and future. To imagine a new beginning…” Rev. Sara LaWall

What if a Threshold isn’t a place that you cross, but a place that you pause? A place that transforms you?

What if the invitation is to ask yourself daily:

What do I want to bring with me and what do I want to leave behind (or keep out) as I cross over?

If you want to explore this intense concept and energy further, with a super simple exercise that you can do daily to remind you it’s okay to stay in this space, come over here to explore the Threshold post.

Within this place of Threshold we start eclipse season this Friday, June 5th where we experience a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius. This eclipse will be guiding us to stand our ground, claim our power, and allow the voice of our inner fire to speak. It is the first in a trio of Eclipses, and as we walk this Eclipse Gateway over the coming weeks, we will discover a new path emerging, one that is very different from the path we were walking before.

A Lunar Eclipse has ten times the potential of Full Moon, and often clears a path that helps accelerate our soul journey, bringing massive shifts and change. Now if you remember an eclipse can generate an awareness of something larger, running the show and they poke holes in our ego/identity revealing things within us that we have been avoiding or are totally unaware of.

So as Forever shares:- As this Eclipse falls in Sagittarius, we are likely going to find ourselves clearing thoughts, beliefs, and ideas in order to prepare for this new journey that is yet to unfold. We may have thought we were going one way, but often an Eclipse comes along to reveal a whole new path.

All the voices you carry within you deserve to be heard. Sometimes we work so hard to silence the voice of shame or guilt or anger, but there is also a power in learning to stop and listen to what it’s saying. If we constantly dismiss the harder or more abrasive thoughts and feelings when they arise, we never really get to understand them.

It’s not that we want to sit in our anger forever or allow our inner voice to become drowned by negative talk, but we also don’t want to ignore these voices and push them away. We want to listen to them and discover what they really mean. We want to hug each and every one of them, and see the value in what they have to share and offer.

When we listen to ourselves; when we really take the time to go within and listen, we catch things we may have otherwise missed. We learn things about ourselves, and we open to a new truth. It is not just our love and light that can teach us, but our pain, anger, jealousy, and resentment too.

We have to listen, find the jewels of wisdom that they offer, and then let them go.

Wowzer! So we have a place of Threshold – the liminal space, a Full Moon, our first eclipse and Summer Solstice only 3 weeks away! (Can you say there is a lot of energy to work with?)

Thus, the other day I heard my favourite book store had opened and was allowing 5 people in at a time, so I quickly skedaddled down there as I wanted a copy of Witch – Unleashed. After I purchased my book I took a wrong turn and saw this wee little store filled with crystals, statues, pendulums etc. I had literally never seen this store before, and as they were allowing one person in at a time I went in.

I took a quick browse around and there was nothing that really jumped out and grabbed me, then as I got to the door a flash of red caught my eye and down on a shelf near the floor was an Oracle deck that beckoned me. When that happens, I don’t think twice and so she came home and when I opened her up to Bless and Consecrate her, holy hannah, my whole body tingled.

So please let me introduce you to your new guides (whom I’ve been working with daily for the last 5 days) – 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!

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

I invite you to just pause, envision that space in between, that moment where the invitation is to release and be willing to welcome a transformative way of living. As you breathe into that space allow your body to relax, to just settle and let the worries of the day, the moment, the second just drop like dust motes to the floor.

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 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!

MOON CHILD

You have an opportunity to manifest something that you want very much. The Divine wants to bless you with assistance to bring a cherished dream to life. Begin by admitting the true desires of your heart.

Your heart has a special spiritual power which you can access through prayer. Prayer means speaking from the heart to the Divine. For you, the Divine might be an unconditionally loving and all powerful being, such as the Universe or Spirit. You may like to choose a deity from a religious tradition (even if you don’t belong to that religion) such as God or Mother Nature.

The Divine doesn’t mind who or what you pray to, so long as you feel a peaceful, unconditionally loving connection between the Divine and your heart. When you pray, you activate the heart and stimulate a portal of healing. The heart knows how to gain closure on emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual levels, showing you the way through unknown transitions and leading you faithfully to the light of a new day.

Your heart also knows how to receive blessings from the Divine. Divine blessings can help you in endless ways, and the Divine always knows exactly what you need and when you need it.

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to speak from your heart about whatever matters to you right now. Nothing is too small or too big for the Divine to help you figure out. Ask and you shall receive.

YOU ARE THE LIGHT

You are going through a spiritual initiation. This is happening because you are ready for it, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. The way to pass this test is to rely on the light within you. Don’t let fear or doubt make you distrust the path ahead.

Light is powerful. Some people don’t understand this. The fear in their hearts makes them cynical. That fear stops them from seeing what is true. In the absence of truth, they hold on to their judgements instead. They scoff at what they don’t understand. Be careful of allowing such people to influence you.

It’s not wise to take advice from people who are investing in creating pain. You can have compassion for them, but you must not underestimate how their negativity can taint your trust in the Universe. When we feel the light within us, when we trust in it, we are able to move beyond the fear and negativity that exists in this world. You have it within you to be that light.

The only thing that can trap you is the choice to believe in the negative and give in to the fear.

That’s not you, so don’t choose that for yourself. Don’t listen to people who would cause you to question the light. The light within you is the real you.

Be at peace, beautiful one, for the positive power of the light in you is stronger than any darkness.

Holy Hannah, you seriously can not make this shit up! Be yourself, speak from your heart and be the light. Now more than ever we all need that! So delicious lovely, I wish for you a fabulous week filled with ease, joy and deep belly chortles. May you always remember how special and important you are and that the world needs YOU! Big hugs and squeezes.

Retrogrades, The Quantum Field and New Moon in Gemini.

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Maniacal, Magickal, Miraculous, Magnificent, Merry, Musical, Manifesting Monday!

How are you gorgeous one? I hadn’t planned on doing a reading this week as it is a long weekend here, however my delightful guides were most adamant as I have heard from a lot of you that the last week was tough, and the fluctuations went from wanting to put bodies in your freezer, to hiding out under the duvet, to just wanting to curl up in a ball and weep. I am not surprised! The energy right now is intense, we have so much happening – so grab a cuppa tea as we have lots to explore and how you can shift it. Ready?

Okay, first and foremost we have 4 planets in retrograde right now, and each has a different energy/vibration to it.

Pluto retrograde from April 24th to October 4th. – guides us to review and look to the past in order to work out what needs to be transformed in our lives and where our previous transformations have led us.

Jupiter retrograde from May 10th to September 13th. – Under this energy, we don’t want to spread ourselves too thin or lose sight of what is really important to us.

Saturn retrograde from May 10th until September 28th – Saturn is all about hard work but the right kind of hard work. Saturn wants us to work on things that are meant for us and not the things that are not.

Venus retrograde from May 12th to June 24th – this brings a dive into the underworld, encouraging us to question matters of the heart.

Can you see how that is a lot to perk and feel? And if you remember me saying the shamanic energy of this month is REFLECTION. Now some of you may be balking and saying “But Jenny we’ve been doing that for 2 months now”. Ahhhh, grasshopper this is not a one and done issue by any stretch of the imagination, and it’s interesting that this energy is in play with all the retrogrades. Why, you may ask?

Retrogrades are a time of reflection. They indicate when a planet’s energy begins manifesting on more of an internal level rather than an external one. So we are being taken on a journey inward, and our focus will be drawn to our feelings of security and stability. Which makes total sense as we see so many things that we “thought” were real crumbling around us.

On top of all this we have a New Moon in Gemini on the 22nd and at the beginning of June we start Eclipse season! Huzzah! (No don’t go running to the closet to hide, this is not the time). So before we explore what this New Moon looks like let’s look at a “tool” if you will to help you navigate this energy and to really shift things on a deep internal scale. Come on over to the Quantum Field where you can shift your perspective and create deep change.

As we know, everything is energy right and each energy has it’s own vibration? Thus, I want you to imagine the Quantum Field as this glorious, beautiful amazing energetic place which my wonderful friend Lisa calls – The Field of Infinite Possibilities. The first time she said that to me I immediately saw this stunning, safe, gorgeous meadow where every flower was a star, gently bopping in a gorgeous warm breeze!

So within this glorious field we are going to play the “What If” game, which is exceptionally powerful as it creates a different energetic vibration. As the Quantum Field responds extremely well to questions. Everytime you put a question into this field with intensity and genuine curiosity the Quantum Field’s ears perk up and say “Oh, you want to know that? You want to experience more of that? Here’s your answer.” Great yes?

However, let’s be honest here, how often do you play with energy from a place of fear? Think about it – What if I lose my job? What if I get sick? What if I’m alone for the rest of my life?……….and the list goes on! (See where I am going with this?) So by asking those questions we are actually inviting the vibration of those experiences in……..

What if for the next week (or preferably longer) we started asking better questions, more conscious questions, the questions of our soul, our essence? Because when you ask a question you are actually programming this glorious Quantum Field. Think about it, every amazing invention throughout thousands of years came from a question! What If – we could make power from wind? What if I put planks on a round thing and it moved faster? What if I could fly?

Write a list of questions for yourself (especially as we have a New Moon coming up) and use those as your gorgeous seeds to plant in your own personal Infinite Field of Possibilities and let’s get them growing! Start them all with “I wonder what it would be like to ………” “ I wonder what would happen if ……….”, “What if I was……”. Are you with me so far? Questions are most powerful with a genuine curiousity and energy behind them. For example if your question is “I wonder what it would be like if the world was changing for the better and focusing more on people than corporations?” Yes! Great energy and curiousity. Play this game and watch your perspective shift and things around you shift to match the new vibration you are playing with and plant that gorgeous Field of Infinite Possibilities with amazing flowers!

Next up is our glorious New Moon in Gemini on the 22nd (Friday for me). So let me share what Forever has to say about this New Moon:

The Gemini New Moon on May 22, 2020 is a busy one and involves energy from Venus, Mercury, Neptune, and Saturn. All of this cosmic activity may feel a little overwhelming, but there is a way we can use it to our advantage.

The New Moon represents the start of a new lunar cycle. It is a time to plant seeds, set intentions, and to think about what we wish to create. But it is also a time of turning inward.

Think of the New Moon like a seed that has been planted. The seed is programmed with a certain code but there it lies, buried in the dark soil, uncertain of what’s to come or what it will turn out to be. The New Moon is really the Dark Moon, when the night sky is dark and there is no Moon visible in the sky.

This is a time of magic, of darkness – not the darkness that keeps you up at night, but the darkness of transformation, of unknowing. There is magic in the unknowing. There is magic in being that seed that is waiting to sprout. It is how all creation begins and the New Moon is a time to honor and tune in to those creative powers.

As the New Moon falls in Gemini, the sign of the twins, we may feel pulled in two directions. We may feel our heart wanting to go one way, and our mind wanting to go the other. Or, we may simply feel a sense of confusion, a sense of loss or even hopelessness. The dark night of the New Moon can seem endless, but the light will always return.

The Gemini twins also represent being connected to earth and connected to heaven. Being the bridge between these two states is what life is all about and we may be reminded of this on the New Moon. How do we live connected to the physical reality we see and the spirit reality we feel?

Retrograde Saturn is active on this New Moon too and provides some grounded energy. It supports us in setting goals and thinking about things in a more practical and methodical way. Saturn wants us to use our powers of creation on this New Moon to make wise choices that will stand the test of time. Saturn calls for us to get real with what is happening in our lives. It wants us to think about the long term and put plans in place as best we can.

What steps and actions can you take on this New Moon that will support and nourish your future and where you wish to head? While Saturn adds some practicality and earthiness, we also have strong water and air energy floating in from Mercury, Venus, and Neptune. In order to navigate this energy, go within to the place of your own inner knowing.

We have so much energy in the cosmos right now supporting us to dive in deep and to trust the process that is unfolding around us.

Rather than getting lost indecision, we are asked to wait and trust that we will be guided to the right answers. The right answers are always there, and with a gentle patience, we will break free of the fog and find our way to where we need to be.

Phew, so there is a lot of reflection, shifting perception and planting seed energy galore!

When I went to the cards and asked them who wanted to guide and support this week I was delighted to see that the Earth Warriors Oracle were most adamant. Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you (as it would be rude not to)!

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.”

Oh my gosh, positively perfect! The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to come to play are:- Snowflake Black Obsidian, Morganite and Shadow Quartz. Woosah! So let’s take a moment to settle, just BE and breathe.

As you breathe I invite you to welcome into your minds eye the Infinite Field of Possibilities. See it waiting for you to step into it, not from a place of fear or ego, but a place of trust, what if’s and magnitude. Breathe. If you need some more support with this I have a delicious guided visualisation that will help just below.

Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that pull at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

ANKA – Kin of the Red Hawk Tribe

On the wings of Red-tailed Hawk, a divine message comes. Your spiritual maturity has evolved into genuine power and discernment. You have earned your stripes. Acknowledgement is granted. Trust yourself and your destiny. You are ready. Trust in your sense of timing, which is excellent and inspired. Allow the Divine to support you as you hover, until the moment comes for you to fearlessly plunge into your forthcoming adventure.

You are more mature spiritually than you may realise. You have an ability to share wisdom and honesty with your tribe. If you are still searching for your tribe, trust yourself. You will recognise them instinctively when you meet them, even if on the outside they seem different to you.

You are seeing things clearly, so trust your vision and have patience. Speak your truth, but do so with compassion, because your words have greater influence that you may realise. When the moment is right, take action. A way will be shown for you to manifest your spiritual light in this world in practical ways.

ELHAZ – Divine Might Foretold

You know what is correct. You understand that any gain which comes from denying your values and compromising yourself creates a loss of soul. There are times when it may seem as though people who act without integrity are obtaining benefit without negative repercussions. Life can seem unfair if you limit yourself to a strictly human perspective. Yet nothing escapes the attention of the spiritual worlds. Restorative action and balancing fairness is always in action at a higher level, put your faith in divine justice, and you will win in a way that brings benefit to many.

Don’t let yourself down with behaviour or attitudes that are unworthy of you. You have divinity within you and a right to be in the world with dignity, grace and integrity. Whether in a small matter of apparent insignificance to anyone other than yourself, or in big matters where you feel your soul, and perhaps the souls of others, are on the line, integrity will be your saving grace.

You can be kind of heart, but also firm as you refuse to allow anyone or anything to convince you that lowering your standard of acceptable behaviour is warranted. Be in right relationship with yourself and the Divine. Justice will always be done, whether you see it happening or not. Put your faith in the good and true, and you will successfully continue on your path.

Others are relying on you to be true to yourself, more than you may realise. You are strong enough to live with honour.

AMAROO – The Beautiful Place

Your dreams of a more beautiful world are not a product of childish fantasy, nor idle imagination. They are true spiritual visions inspired by the universal heart that yearns for divine paradise to be manifested in all worlds. You have a life purpose to assist in the creation of divine harmony in the world, through sacred activism and the expression of your soul talents. Believe that the beautiful world you long for is not only possible, but part of your spiritual responsibility to create.

Don’t be scared to face a problem head on. You don’t need to be wilful about a solution, but, in facing the issues, you shall simplify the complexity and recognsie the practical steps that will create healing change. Keep your mind and heart open as you ask for unconditionally loving guidance as to how you best evoke divine healing in any situation. There is an outcome available to you that is far more beautiful and divinely inspired than what you can currently envision.

Ask for divine help, and trust unconditionally in the assistance that will lead you away from the limitations of your current thinking, into the perfection of what the Divine wishes for you and our world.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Seriously you can’t make this shit up! Wishing for you most gorgeous one a week filled with amazing “What If” questions, reflection, ease and huge laughter. Be kind and gentle with yourself and most certainly a plate of warm, yummy biccies! Huge hugs and love.

Mothers Day, Surrealism, Are you Here and Now?

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magnetic, Miraculous, Marvelous, Magickal, Mysterious, Manifesting May Monday! How are you delicious one? Happy, happy Mothers Day whether you have children or not, is irrelevant. We all nurture little people in our lives in some shape or form. Oh yes and thank you to all who gave me advice on rats in the garden, there is no poison down – a rat zapper and I have a slingshot!

Okay, I have to say, even with everything the way it is in the world, I had an awesome Mother’s Day, in fact better than some of the prior ones! (Who would have thought!) 3 of my boys and two of their girlfriends came over in the morning and we went for a social distance dog walk along the beach and Mother Nature had gifted us with a glorious hot, hot, day! We skipped stones, told bad jokes, laughed and shared memories of trying to cook seaweed and how horrid and rubbery it had tasted (which it had).

Each of us had prepared some food for a picnic. I had made finger sarnies and packed them in individual tupperwares for everyone so we didn’t share cutlery. Plus I also made carrot cake cupcakes with lemon cream cheese icing (nom), all individually done and bunches of grapes all individually done. The others brought veggie sticks, home made pesto, cookies, juice boxes and chips – each in individual containers. We found a glorious shady spot in a park, put our blankies down and shared food together and then had an amazing game of HORSE (originally called Donkey) – now if you have never played it it is such great fun. All you need is a soccer ball, a sense of humour and the willingness to lose! Bsically if you miss the ball when it’s whipped at you, and forget to clap prior to catching it you get a letter and the minute the word Horse is spelt, you are out!

I quickly figured out why the boys changed the name of it from Donkey to Horse as I was fabulous at not winning every time and so they would say: what letters do you have Mum? I’m HO (say that outloud and keep in mind young male humour), what letters do you have now Mum? I’m HOR. (Need I say more?) The two girlfriends bailed after 5 minutes as they aren’t used to the level we play at, nor the speed – ah well. But it was glorious fun and the doggos ran around trying to get the ball, which made me laugh.

Afterwards as we were hanging out on our blankies blowing bubbles for the dogs, I looked around the park and I saw family groups hanging out, eating together, chatting and the sun was shining and it was positively surreal. The scent of the lilacs and wysteria in bloom were wafting on the breeze and peacocks were walking by. I thought, if an alien had come down from space they would probably think we were just “well” behaved Canadians. It was as if everyone there was on holiday, just hanging out, playing, laughing and really making the most of the day. Very surreal. We were complying with all the safety and health measures in place and actually having a more real, deeper, fun connection than we did this time last year! The only phone that came out during the four hours was mine to take a photo.

Later on someone phoned me, distraught, angry and frustrated. As I listened it was apparent she was stuck in the past – lost in nostalgia (which I understand as I have been reflecting on things as well) and she was trying to second guess the future. As I listened I realised that she was having a supremely tough time being in the Here and Now. This day, and if a day is too big to imagine, this moment, this one minute. As we were having this conversation I reflected on the fact that one of the secrets to happiness is letting every situation be what is, instead of what we think it should be.

And sometimes we can do that, and other times we rail and rebel against it with rage!

Then it brought to mind a wonderful interview that I heard with Dr. Aisha Ahmad who has lived in many conflict zones, and she shares some words of wisdom. “The initial feeling of shock and loss during a crisis can feel overwhelming, Ahmad said, and the frenzy of productivity we saw in the early days of the pandemic was likely a response to a feeling of loss. She said it is necessary to slow down and give yourself time to examine and accept your current reality.”

“It is easy to focus on the limitations and deprivations of our current pandemic lives, what Ahmad referred to as ‘walls.’ But she said there is light between the walls and we can train ourselves to find it.

Once a day, embracing the world as it is and asking it to show you something new that it can offer you, that can keep you healthy and well in this day,” she advised. “That small technique, just asking every day — what can you do differently and how can you be different that might be enriching and satisfying — will keep you happy in a way that’s more sustainable.”

I love the idea of embracing the world as it is and asking it show you somethin gnew that it can offer you. There are so many gifts and opportunities in this situation.

So with all of that chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the guides and cards and asked who wanted to show and shine – the deck that came out loud and proud this week is The Oracle of the Divine Circus. The reason I laughed is these glorious guides are playful, but deep. They think outside the box and invite you to do the same.

If you have never met these glorious guides, please let me introduce you. “What is life if not a Divine Circus? Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us 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. “

Ahhhhh, doesn’t that just sound delightfully delicious? The crystals that literally threw themselves out of the bowl to come play are:- Ametrine – is a powerful combination of Amethyst and Citrine, connecting physical and spiritual realms. Ametrine is a very soothing stone. Grossular Garnet – enhances relaxation and going with the flow, and inspires service and cooperation.Last but not least, Citrine – highly protective and enhances optimism. These are then all topped with a Selenite wand for amplification.

Glorious Wysteria and Lilac insisted on coming to the party, and their scent is divine!

So delicious one. I invite you to take a moment to come to your centre. Just breathe. And when you are ready I invite you to bring in the question about what do you need to be nourished in the here and now? Breath that in and when you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look!

THE JUGGLER

Many projects in the air; aspirations and inspirations everywhere. Action to take, commitments to make and yet another will soon join the fray! Say yes, do not delay. It will all work out in the perfect way.

You are capable of many things and you are too important an asset to the plan of love on this planet to be left idle. So life, the universe and your own creative urges will ask a lot of you. There will be many inspirations, ideas and dreams that you will yearn to bring to life in the world. You might wonder if it’s all a bit too much for any one person to handle. You might feel you are juggling so much already that if even one more demand or idea comes through, you’ll drop the balls already in the air, and the whole damn thing will come undone!

The Juggler is the master multi-tasker. He brings the skills, wisdom and tricks you need to not only successfully bring to life all your current dreams and ideals, but to be open to even more flowing through you. If you feel overwhelmed, you are letting yourself get ahead of yourself, allowing your mind to move too far into the future. Bring it back to now, to just what can be done now. Let tomorrow take care of itself. Prioritise, what do you need to do most today, and what can be left until later? Remember to ask for help and remember that your individual success is actually part of the greater group success. The universe wants you to succeed. It will keep an eye on the pots on the boil whilst you stir the one that is bubbling over now. You are going to manage all that is going on in your life if you remember to stay present and relax, deal with what is immediately happening and not worry about any other distractions. You’ll not only handle all that’s currently going on, but when another opportunity heads your way, you’ll add it to the mix with grace!

GYPSY COLOMBINE

The free spirit in you is rewilding itself, shedding social conditioning and past patterns of behaviour. It is shaking off socialisation and emerging anew like a snake shedding a skin. The wild one within isn’t a save. It is raw, yes, but also wise, authentic, beautiful and with a deep instinctive knowing as to what you must be. Can a bird ever be truly happy whilst trying to be a fish? True freedom is to be truthfully yourself.

Politeness and people-pleasing, not out of respect but out of fear you will otherwise be rejected, is a form of social conditioning that dulls the wild one within. If you reject that conditioning in favour of re-wilding, of getting in touch with your true instincts and nature, you will exchange lukewarm tolerance from others for their passionate admiration and love. And for those that cannot love you, that are afraid of how much life is in you, then let them be. They do not belong in your world, nor you in theirs. The jungle of life is a vibrant, colourful and exciting place, but not everyone is ready to live there as yet. That is jUst the way of things sometimes.

It’s time to let yourself off the hook, to forgive and forget, to allow what’s been to have been and to start again. No regrets. No fear. No doubt. It’s time to heed the call of the wild and ask yourself, “What would set my spirit free?”

SECRET OF SHINOBI

Shhhhhh! Can you keep a secret? It’s time to play your cards close to your chest. Soon enough, you’ll be ready to stand upon the mountain top for all to see and hear. For now, let things unfold in the guarded privacy of your inner world. When the time is right to be seen in the light, you’ll know what is true and what to do. Until then, be patient, be private, be committed and wait for the right time to shine.

Sometimes being less visible, less transparent, less “seen” for a time is helpful. It doesn’t mean being dishonest or deceptive, but it does mean keeping your intentions and your truths to yourself until you see the best way to attain your goals. In fact, the best way to attain your goals might be more of the “iron fist in velvet glove” approach. You might find that gentle persuasion works far better than direct confrontation, which can unintentionally inflame a situation and trigger defensive reactions in others instead of finding a way to bring resolution.

When it is time to show your hand, to reveal your intentions and speak more openly and publicly about what has been gestating, you’ll know it; but for now, let things come together away from prying eyes. Just for now, it’s time to keep a secret.

Oh my gosh, wow. Asking for help, shedding social conditions, and reflecting and being close to yourself for now. Lol. You seriously can’t make this shit up! Oh yes, as we have been migrating and changing my site the mentor information hasn’t gone out yet, however, it will to all of those who asked and followed up. Sending you big hugs and love for this week. Take time to breathe and be in the here and now and ask this day to show you something new that it can offer you, that can keep you healthy and well in this day. There will be no reading next week as it is a long weekend, so I want to take time to play, create and do daft shit! Big hugs and squeezes!

Creativity, Covid, Community and Beltane!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Marvelous, Magnificent, Merry, Musical, Manifesting Monday! How are you? How are you feeling? Did you give yourself time to celebrate the New Moon last week, filled with all the glorious Earth energies of Taurus and Earth Day? Are you managing to get outside and into nature at all? I feel that April has whizzed by and May is just a few days away, holy hannah, how did that happen?

I have been listening to a great book by Pam Grout called Art and Soul Reloaded. Wowzer! Firstly, I have loved all her books as they are real, honest and blunt – there are no ridiculous platitudes telling you to gaze at your navel for hours on end. Instead amazing suggestions about things to try, do, play at (and if you know me I love to play!)

Pam invites you to look at what the Universe wants to say through you, and then kicks your arse to just play and try things out (remember perfection is an illusion). As I’ve been listening to this book it’s inspired me to get creative (hence the sardine, pear, aspargus sushi – which were delicious) and has reminded me that there is no box. With Covid in play, all bets are off – there is no “normal”, so let’s create a new normal! A fun normal! A creative, nourishing, aligned new normal!

I’ve been seeing signs that thousands of people are getting on the creativity and play boat.

People who have never written a word are trying Haiku, poems chalked on the sidewalks, crocheted tree wraps (in case the tree gets cold). All sorts of music, garden patterns, funky face masks, art, paintings and the list goes on. People are being bold enough to use this time to create, to play, to try something new and the results are positively amazing, inspiring and make me grin from ear to ear.

Why? Because it’s an amazing voyage of self discovery. People are taking this time to explore the wee corners of their minds and play, on a level that hasn’t been seen before! And the most awesome part is they are sharing it. As they stay home, stay safe, they are digging into the corners, playing, creating and sharing it and creating community with their shares. Remember when you were a small kid and there was that Show and Tell day? We need to share who we are and what we have created.

As Dee Hock says – Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.

For me, when I play with creativity (whether it is in the kitchen, writing, outside, trying a new medium), it nourishes and feeds my intuition and gives a tangible means of expressing that deep inner voice. When that happens, it’s like liquid gold. I feel like a conduit.

What are you willing to try out this week as we head into Beltane? Paper airplanes, sewing, dancing…… There are so many ways to express yourself. And please SHARE it!

Beltane is this Friday on May 1st. Now you may be saying – Jenn, um, WTF is Beltane? Ahhh, grasshopper let me explain.

Beltane or Beltain is the Gaelic May Day festival. Most commonly it is held on 1 May, or about halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice.

Okay let’s take a little dip into what the heck Beltane is and whether you should pay attention to it or not. Beltane was thought to be one of the more important festivals of the Gaelic calendar. Beltane is a Fire Festival. The word ‘Beltane’ originates from the Celtic God ‘Bel’, meaning ‘the bright one’ and the Gaelic word ‘teine’ meaning fire. Together they make ‘Bright Fire’, or ‘Goodly Fire’ and traditionally bonfires were lit to honour the Sun and encourage the support of Bel and the Sun’s light to nurture the emerging future harvest and protect the community.

Beltane celebrates the height of Spring and the flowering of life. Earth energies are at their strongest and most active. All of life is bursting with potent fertility, look at the trees around you – (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere), they are bursting forth with bright green leaves and the little sparrows are back as well as the robins. Abundant fertility, on all levels, is the central theme. Here are fields of Camas lilies, Rhododendrons are in bloom, Sea breeze is bobbing their little pink heads, the Iris’s are up and there are carpets galore of bluebells. Spring is here! Which is no surprise as Beltane is the festival that heralds in the fertility and growth of Spring. This is the time of unity between the Goddess and the God and massive celebration. For those of you who are on the email list there will be more information on Beltane on Wednesday and a couple of super simple (we like simple) rituals to mark this fantabulous day. The colours of Beltane are red, green, white or silver and the ritual trees of this celebration are Birch, Hawthorn (which I planted two of) and of course Rowan. Speaking of Rowan, when my fourth child was born I had a ring made of Celtic knot work with Rowan leaves on it to celebrate his arrival. (Love Rowan trees, as do the birds).

Okay, I have chuntered on enough. When I went to the cards and the crystals and asked who wanted to guide and support this week I clapped my hands in glee! As the glorious Faery Forest Oracle were adamant! Perfect!

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be 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.”

Note the last line of the introduction – urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be………….

The crystals that were most insistent are:- Chrysocolla, K2 and Malachite. Oh and some of the gorgeous Camas lilies that are carpeting the meadows.

Okay, take a moment. Just breathe gorgeous one, that’s it. Just breathe. As you breathe I invite you to see in your mind’s eye the whisper of creativity and play. No attachment to it, just let it dance there for a while and when you are ready pick the card, or cards that tug at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

AWEN

“Awen” translates to “divine inspiration” or “flowing breath”. It is a mystical force that offers us a moment where there is a sudden surge in newfound knowledge, inspired thought, the ability to awaken our dormant talents and a sense that before we were given the gift of Awen , we were like sleepwalkers.

Awen is a moment where life is forever changed, and once we drink of Awen, or feel it as a beam of divine light entering us and changing us, we can never return to who we were, and the world is never the same again. So having experienced what has taken place, you cannot pretend life can ever be the same. You have lifted the veil and you have seen the face of the Divine. You have drunk the elixir of the gods, and the faeries have offered you their greatest gift.

Awen does not stay – but the knowledge of what we have experienced in that moment changes us forever. So, now that you have had this life-changing experience and been given this incredible moment of inspiration, you can either pretend to yourself that life is without magick, or you can continue to embrace the magick in the enchantment of every moment. Now if you choose, you can become more fully alive – and while this is no easy path, it is one that is full of deep, joyful moments, true connections, and poetic, blindingly beautiful experiences.

Awen will come, from time to time, and you are so blessed for having had this most sublime and life-changing of all mystical experiences.

SHE WHO LAUGHS

There is within your life now a great heaviness, an earnestness, and a sense of great gravity to nearly every situation unfolding. Yes, this is of great importance, and yes, there are consequences to consider.

However, She Who Laughs wishes for you to receive the healing power of luagher, the power that lifts the darkness and releases energy that is stagnant, cold, and heavy from our energy field, indeed from our limbs and cells and hearts. For you, this laughter is as necessary as surgery at the moment, as it will shake loose the cords strapping you tightly to burdens you no longer need to carry.

Let the light break through, and laugh – as without laughter, there can be no perspective, withought laughter, there can be no movement forward, without laughter, there can be a sense of deep abiding resentment. Lift this!

Let She Who Laughs begin to help you seek out moments, people, and situations that stir the sense of the ridiculousness within you, and let the healing and the release of laughter roll through you and lift away the pain at the centre of your being. Its time is passing. It will melt away with tears of laughter that fall and cleanse and free you from the past……

For now, the sun breaks through, and your eyes shine once again, with mirth and joy.

Welcome back to the world of delight, friend. It is time

THE SOLITARY

Within, within you go. When the Solitary visits, you are about to go within, to withdraw, and retreat from the world for a time. This can be a response to an event from outside – a trauma, sadness or betrayal – and the withdrawing inwards, which appears to be depression, is actually a way of respecting the soul’s shadow, investigating it, understanding it, and mastering it. This card indicates a time when you will go it alone – walk your own path, choosing to carve a way forward that you can be sure remains true to the deep self. There will be a time of learning away from the mainstream, and there may be times when you feel isolated and somewhat worried about how your new path will be perceived.

It can also indicate that in a past life, you have suffered for your gifts and spirituality. You may have experienced a past life as a healer, seer, witch, wyzard, or medicine man, in which a new order decreed your power to be invalid and dark. This fear still pursues you when you connect with the power of your gift – resulting in fears surrounding intuition and your natural talents.

By going within we learn more about our soul. It is not a part of the journey that we necessarily look forward to, but it is a time of great development on the spiritual path and is imperative to growth. Before we can shine our light in the world, we must ignite our inner spark. This going inward is actually the sacred task of tending your own sacred flame and learning from it, before turning to matters of the world again.

Oh my gosh! Seriously! I so love the cards that my guides picked for you, perfect messages for this week as we close up April, welcome in Beltane and play with creativity in all her guises. Sending you massive love and light and humongous hugs and squeezes. Remember to play, to laugh, to go within and ask your soul what it wants to create. See you next week.

So there you have it delicious lovely. A lot to do with magick (which is intrinsically part of who we are, we have just forgotten sometimes), and really celebrating the changes and our gifts.

Grace, The Invitation, New Moon in Taurus

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Marvelous, Magickal, Meritorious, Melodic, Manifesting Monday! How was your Easter weekend? (Yes it has been that long since I last wrote). I will admit, it was a rather bizarre weekend, social distance walking with my boys, social distance egg decorating in the garden and then video calls whilst we each made our own dinners. But hey, I can’t complain – the weather was stupendous, it was good to see their gorgeous faces and we needed a different type of Easter (I didn’t have to cook a huge meal!) Lol

There are gifts and opportunities in everything!

Which brings me round to the fact that I have been encountering people who don’t see the gift or the opportunities, and they want things to go back to normal overnight and are now starting to get exceptionally twitchy, defiant and angry as week four of social isolation and distancing comes to a close. The ones that are having a tough time with it are the extroverts and those who thought this “little Covid thing” (I have heard that soooo many times) was going to end in a week or two. If I’m the first one to inform you that we are riding these waves of change for at least 4 more months if not longer, I’m sorry. We are. So how can you do it with grace? We are all in this together.

If you are blessed to not be working on the front lines (and massive thanks to all who do), then you have some time on your hands, yes? Are you willing to accept the invitation to find and see the gifts and opportunities in this situation? Can you? Will you allow yourself to relax the tight hold on what should be and breathe into the paradigm shift of what could be?

When I reflected on this question for myself I realised I had a huge list of things I wanted to learn, to try etc. Yet my excuse had always been – I don’t have the time. Guess what? So I sat down with my list the other day and reviewed it. Did I REALLY want to learn Japanese Brush Painting, no. And so it got crossed off the list along with various other items. However, I do want to learn the guitar (which I am doing now), I do want to write more (which I do daily), I do want to learn how to longboard (which I am trying – it’s not pretty, but it’s glorious fun). I do want to dance more, so guess what? Every night when I walk Danu (the therapy) dog, I plug in one of our amazing Light, Love and Laughter playlists and I frigging dance!!!! 5 km of dance, fun and glorious laughter.

So what is the gift or opportunity for you? Who do you want to be at the end of this? (A question to Muse for sure.) Embrace the flow and the paradigm shift, it is far easier and more enjoyable.

Okay enough proselytizing. Lol. On Wednesday we have Earth Day and New Moon in Taurus, utterly fabulous!!! How are you going to spend it? If you had a magic wand and could give a blessing to Mumma Gaia, what would it be?

I love what Chani has to share about this New Moon:- This New Moon urges us to slow down, pay attention to our bodies, enjoy simple pleasures and rethink the ways in which we are using our resources. It calls on us to get creative with our material lives and innovative in the ways in which we think about abundance and mutual prosperity. Conjunct the game-changer of the cosmos, Uranus, and square the planet of form and structure, Saturn, this New Moon helps us to deepen our understanding of which structures can support the changes we are personally and collectively facing, and which are so outdated they have to be completely rethought. Taurus is a slow and steady sign, and the restructuring we are considering making at this moment needs to be integrated a little at a time, in ways that feel sustainable and supportive long-term.

What a positively perfect New Moon energy to work with at this moment in time! Methodical, grateful and sustainable – whoot! Do take time to write down your New Moon Wishes, or start a New Moon Bowl (such a delicious and grounding daily practice!).

Okay, when I went to the cards and asked who wanted to support and guide this week, the cards that were most insistent are The Oracle of the Shapeshifters.

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

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to come support are:- Angel Wing Phantom Quartz – fabulous for connecting to your higher self and to attain a sense of tranquility. Carnelian –stabilising, it restores vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity. It gives courage, promotes positive life choices, dispels apathy and motivates for success. Citrine – attracts wealth, prosperity and success. It imparts joy, wonder, delight and enthusiasm. Raises self-esteem and self-confidence. Oh yes, and glorious cherry blossoms wanted to share their radiance, and please don’t fret, they were placed in a flower bowl afterwards and are brightening up the corner table!

I am so loving the guides and the crystals that are present for this week.

So delicious lovely, let’s get present and mindful shall we? Take some delicious slow breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth and I invite you to ask the question – What are the gifts or opportunities available to me right now. Am I willing to move with the flow? Breathe that in and if you need some more support I have a delicious short guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

THE GOLDEN PHOENIX

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

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

THE DELICATE FAERY AND HER FRIENDS

Sometimes the transition between one cycle or stage and another is easy, fluid, flowing, and smooth. At other times it is rough, harsh, cruel, and painful. It is inevitable that, if we are truly alive, we will experience discomfort and challenges when confronted by the unfamiliar. This is no curse – it is evidence of wisdom being taught to us.

We change. We alter ourselves. We adapt. We choose. We become. You are now being shown a way and the gifted magickal tools to strengthen yourself while you develop your skills. You are also being sent a trusted companion to guide you through the deep forests of change. You feel very vulnerable, and there is fear in your heart. But why would there not be? Life is full of transitions, shifts, and epic moments when we can choose between our best self and the tired, conditioned, most often deflated self. In this time of change, there is no map, no guidebook, no previous knowledge to comfortably fall back on.

One cycle has ended. When a cycle changes or when we choose to create change courageously be challenging our limited self-beliefs, questioning our attachments to “truths”, or releasing our attachment to the way in which our lives “should” manifest, we are, either by choice or by contract, undergoing an initiation. A new friend, advisor, or piece of information will empower you. You must now shift the focus from what you fear to what you wish to become and face what it is that is frightening you needlessly.

It will not kill you. It might hurt a bit, but results will make it worth it!

THE UNENDING SADNESS OF LOOKING BACK

Your focus on the pain of the past increases its power. Let it go. This early life-form wishes you to know that it belongs in the past – it does not want to be re-created again and again and again. It does not have any desire to be the source of your pain. You are giving your energy, your breath, your own life to the existence of one who makes no demands on you. The past has hurt you, indeed. But it is long gone. The harm you suffer from now is by your own hand. You hold the very knife that is inflicting the thousand cuts. Put it down.

The shadow of the past is feeding off your energy, becoming a living thing, when its time has long passed and it no longer belongs with you. You are offering yourself to the past as a victim, nursing pain and being suffocated.

Represented by this ancient trilobite, the being you have created from the past, who wants to be a fossil but whom you insist on bringing to life, your true self wants only to be free and to be allowed to evolve and change. For your own sake, you must allow the past to fade so the wound can heal, so the scar can knit and become a mark of power.

Our past is fascinating, our past is rich, and our ancestry is worth investigating. But to live there, to cry because we believe we are no longer at that one perfect time in our lives, is to deny the gifts of the present and the treasures of the future. Your sadness is of your own making, for you are recycling the moment in the past when all changed, when your world failed you, and this is preventing you from opening and being fully alive now.

It’s time to release all that, heal, and let it go. You can do this.

Okay, seriously you can not make this shit up! What glorious cards for where we are at this moment in time and all the gifts, opportunities and creating a new “normal”! Whoot! So my delicious lovely, I wish for you a week of exploring deep into your being what are the important things for you? What do you want to share? And whilst you do this, laugh, play and most certainly dance!!! Happy Earth Day and New Moon. Oh yes, if you are not part of the Light, Love and Laughter Community and would like to be (it’s totally free), just email me. Huge Hugs and Big Blessings!

Divine guidance
