It’s Post New Moon in Scorpio – Weekly Reading November 20th.

It’s Monday, it’s Monday – fa, la, la (Trust me, I’m singing out loud!) Remember we are re-framing Monday and making it magickal, mystical, marvelous, meditative and absolutely magnificent! Gone are the days of “Oh F#@$#K it’s Monday!” So delicious one, how are you this most magnificent Monday? Did you take a bit of time on Saturday to play with the deep watery, emotional energy of the New Moon in Scorpio? Did you make your New Moon wishes? I had the joy of a window of time and going outside, lighting a fire, smudging and writing my New Moon wishes and have to say it was really, really good. As I was focusing on my writing I hear a rustle in the plants nearby and then another and as I look up there is a lovely skunk gently pushing through the plants and exploring. She stopped for a moment, looked me up and down and then gently went on her way (thank goodness).

To all our American friends Thanksgiving is coming up this week and I hope you take time to just BE, Play, be Thankful and Feel. For some people family holiday celebrations can trigger all sorts of stuff, some great and some rather challenging. So remember to take the energy of the New Moon and be clear about how you feel and what is okay for you. I have to ask what’s with the Black Friday Sale thing? I appreciate a good deal, but I went once to a store in the states on Black Friday and it was insane! People were pushing, shoving, being rude all for $100 off of an item they wanted. Totally terrified me and have never gone to a Black Friday sale in person again. With that being said I do wish you all a marvelous Thanksgiving filled with family, gorgeous food, connection, joy and big laughter.

I have had the luxury and the time this weekend to spend a lot of time playing outdoors in the woods, finding random paths and exploring. The snow that we did receive the other week has thankfully vanished and so as long as my elevation isn’t too high there are still glorious places to go play. To me this is “Green Therapy”, to get out for a couple of hours with no idea where the path will lead and just breathing in the crisp air, watching small little animals bustle about their business, random dens, abandoned nests and walking along huge trees that fell down years ago and are now covered in lush green moss. Aaaaahhhhhhh.

So it was no surprise to me that the glorious Oracle of the Wild Green World – The Faery Forest came to play. Love this deck for the magickal and insightful look at what we need. When you look at the cards, can you see the witch, the blackcat and the elven character? The crystals that were adamant they had to play are Smoky Quartz, Aragonite star cluster and Snowflake Black Obsidian. Smoky Quartz is a the aspirin of your crystal healing first aid kit, great for grounding, protection and soothing pain, both emotional and physical, it’s a crown chakra stone. Aragonite Star Clusters facilitate the release of negative energy, anger, anxiety and fear from the body. They radiate energy outwards in all directions, beaming rays of light and love out in all directions, Last but not least is Snowflake Black Obsidian this one is a stone of purity. It balances mind body and spirit. Placed on the sacral chakra, snowflake obsidian will calm and soothe and allow you to view unhealthy patterns in your own behaviour, thus opening the door to change.

So let’s take a moment and just stop, ignore the phone, back away from the day to day and just breathe. Breathe long and slow in through your nose and out through your mouth and as you breathe give your fingers a little wiggle and your toes. Feel the energy flow from above your head down through your body and out through your feet down deep into the womb of the earth. Then feel that healing, nurturing energy flow up through your feet and out through the top of your head to connect with Spirit, Divine and flow back down. Just breathe and let the energy pulse through you, cleansing you, healing you and wrapping you in a gorgeous blanket of Divine Love. Breathe and when you are ready give your body a little wiggle and pick the card or cards that are calling to you this week.

Ready to go see?

FAERY GODMOTHER

When the Faery Godmother comes to you, be aware that this is time when you will discover what has been long hidden to you – your true self will be revealed in surprising ways every day, and sudden moments of heightened perception will make this time especially significant for you. People finally get found out, manipulators can be seen through, true costs of circumstances are revealed, and any lies about you will be seen. This can be hard, but it is truly a hardship that is born of protection – you are safer for knowing in whom you can trust in order to make the right choices for your soul.

Throughout these revelations and insights will be a guiding hand – and this is the Faery Godmother. She is showing you what it is you need to know in order to create and foster life that works for you – and she is a protective force too. So what you need will come to you now, sometimes in very strange ways. Be mindful of counting your blessings at this time – for this is the energy your Faery Godmother can draw upon to keep transforming your life into one which is more abundant, magickal, meaningful, and joyful.

Note every moment of truth – they are all significant, and you are better for discovering what was once hidden from you.

QUEEN OF THE DARKWOOD ELVES

Sometimes there is a stirring, a shimmering movement, subtle but unmistakable, in the web called wyrd that connects us all. This is one such time. The Queen of the Darkwood Elves has come forth to speak with you and ask you to be aware that something is approaching. When she appears, there is a kind of foreboding and unsettled energy, akin to when a storm is gathering its power. There is a very potent force readying itself in your life, and while its impact is yet to be truly felt and experienced, it is best to ready yourself now.

So, when this card comes, make good your defences. Tend to injuries and wounds, be they psychic, mental, or physical. Take care of unfinished business, and bring in whatever you can – gather up resources and be ready for when the moment strikes and descends upon you. Because something that was unexpected could have harmed you, could have taken you unaware – but now you are forewarned, and truth be told you are now forearmed.

There is no cause to be scared, frightened, or anxious – this card indicates that you have time to prepare, grow stronger, and meet whatever it is that is coming, face on. You will move through the time you are now warned of, and you will be even stronger due to the challenge. But make no mistake – there is a challenge coming, and you can now prepare to minimise its impact and ride out the intense wave of energy it brings into your life.

OTHERWORLD

This is a time when you are passing through a veil that separates the worlds. When once all was clear and life felt stable and grounded, for now, there is a shaking of the firmament and a shift in your reality that makes you feel at times as though you are living in a waking dream. What once seemed solid is no longer to be relied upon, and throughout this time, you may be suffering ailments of the physical self.

This is a time when the thin boundaries between the worlds have dissolved for you, and there is a raw and unfamiliar energy to your world. When this take place, we can sometimes fall ill, suffer from a great loss of vital energy, and begin to feel we lose a connection with our minds that is strong. We can suffer, and in that suffering, we can begin to forget who we once were. And that, in some ways, is the purpose of this time.

You are now a walker between the worlds, and this time of being apart from the reality others seem to dwell within is going to bring you to greater wisdom, knowledge, compassion, and insights. This time will serve its purpose, and is the breakthrough that your soul requires for the next stage of their journey. But for your humanity, this is challenging indeed. Ask yourself, how can this create meaning and depth within my life, when I return to my own reality? And how can this experience be used to serve others, the planet, and the magickal world? That will give you great strength, even while you experience the shadowlands of the worlds between the worlds.

Holy Hannah, have to say – wow. The cards pick themselves, the crystals pick themselves and all of them tie in together. Some days I look at a crystal and think – really? Then I trust the guidance that comes and I take my ego out of the way and yes, Spirit knows far better than I. I love that the cards also reflect the energy of the New Moon in Scorpio which is dig deeper, trusting and being willing to walk between the worlds. So delicious one, I wish you an amazing week and if you are in the US – Happy Thanksgiving and next Monday there won’t be a reading as we are having a retreat planning time. However, I will be back the following Monday. Take care, drink water and keep your toes warm. Light a candle in your home and if you feel inclined as you light it set the intention of “hearth and home are holy and happy”. Huge hugs!

Misty Magical Monday – Weekly Reading November 13th.

Jenny Heston · 3:41 pm ·

Happy, happy misty, exceptionally wet Monday! When I got up this morning I peeked out the window to see that the clouds had settled low over the mountain tops and it was dark and rainy. Ugh!! As much as I love where I live, I don’t like winter here, the clouds come down low and there are times when you look out the window and all you see is grey, there’s no lake – just grey, no mountains – just grey. It’s enough to drive you a little bonkers to say the least! Or want to hibernate for 5 months (which really isn’t an option). Thus, what I have learned for myself is that I have to have a few practices in place and play with the weather and the energy of the day. So I ensure that no matter what the weather I get outside, I take large amounts of D3, I set the intention every morning that something Awesome and Amazing is coming my way (Pam Grout, Thank and Grow Rich) and I do something to make me laugh each day. So with the grey, mist and rain this morning I pulled on warm clothes and headed out with the hounds and I found a lovely spot in the woods where the canopy kept off most of the rain and the mist filled the valleys and it was deliciously magical. One could imagine fairies riding large leaves down the creek and elves peeking out from behind moss covered cedar trunks. When I got home I gave myself permission to take the day off and just be. From that place of BEing, 6 loaves of fresh bread were created (warm fresh bread slathered in butter and dripping in honey – OMG), along with a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies. I played with my cards, read an inspirational text and laughed as the cat tormented the dogs, oh yes and had a wonderful Facetime tea date with my sister. Thus, all in all it’s been a good day so far – no matter the weather.

The deck that chose to come and work with us this week is the “Wild Kuan Yin Oracle” deck. I love the dedication of this deck “This deck is dedicated to the wild ones – those with a spirit that longs to be free and a heart that must love with great passion – who yearn to bring beautiful visions to life. May you always trust the divine wild child within you, for you are one of the new humanity awakening, ensuring that life upon this planet flourishes with love, kindness and radical optimism. May the guidance, blessings and enlightenment of Wild Kuan Yin touch your heart and heal the world.” I invite you to re-read that whilst you take a lovely deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Breathe into your heart space, your wild, free heart. See a lovely golden light emanating from this space and as you breathe see the light expand further and further out from your heart until everywhere around you is filled with this delightful loving wild energy. Keep breathing long and slow. Then when you are ready and from this space pick the card or cards that are whispering to you from the mists. Trust yourself.

Shall we go see?

WILD RED RIDER, BLESSING BESTOWED

I descend with wild love and bring we me such grace that there shall be an inflow of harmony, serenity, goodness and order restored to your life. There is no limit to the way that I can land in your life, to the order that I can call forth from the wild chaos that my truth my first evoke. I see from higher perspective that which can be altered so that the patterns of your life can heal and you can step forward on your path, with clear purpose. I bring you the embodiment of my mantra, opening your heart, and granting your prayer immediate answer. Om Mani Padme Hum.

Let go completely and allow the Divine to take over. Harmony and order is promised, but it may involve you, and your life, being shaken up a little first. This oracle is the Divine Mother saying “Giddy up! I’ve got work to do with you! Let’s go!” She is not in her calm and tender form, but in a wild love, free and fearless form, urging you to go willingly with her on the wild ride she is going to take, right through the centre of your life! So best to surrender and hop into the saddle behind her as she prepares to descend and create some living, compassionate and wild mess in your life.

You are being asked to forget about nice plans and things that make sense and about routines and strategies. It is a time to take your hands off matters. It is time to let your priorities be adjusted and your viewpoints be turned inside out. You won’t be eating at the banquet of life off clean dish, or politely sitting at the table with fork and knife. You’ll be messily munching away, sitting on the ground, feasting on chunks of life the Divine Mother shoves into your mouth to satisfy your wild and hungry soul. It is not a time to look pretty and worry about appearances. It is a time to come out of your head, into your body and allow yourself to feel and experience it without recrimination, analysis, shame or judgement. This is your irresistible invitation to the divine party where there is aliveness to be experienced beyond that which makes sense to your mind, even your values and philosophies.

It takes a brave soul to be willing to run the risk of realising you have known very little up until this moment. But the gifts in return for this messy, risky journey are abundant and delicious. You won’t be the same person after an encounter with the Wild Red Rider, but you will be more of your true self – more alive, empowered and vibrant – than ever before!

SHE TAMES BY LAYING DOWN THE STAFF AND ROPE

My ways prevail. I subjugate the lower to the higher without any force. Through my ways, correct alignment to the higher divine order is established. My authority is supreme, yet I’ve no need to enforce it. Devotion to me is absolute, yet I bestow freedom. I show you now , the whispering way to tame great force. I initiate you into the way of strength without coercion, the way of attraction without demand. Follow me and learn the art of feminine power; that fear shall always succumb to love.

There is something that you want to attain. A situation exists that you would like to change. It may be something in your way of thinking or being, or a habit of body or mind. It may be a pattern within your emotional world, or an actual physical situation or obstacle you wish to changes. Perhaps you want it transformed completely, or perhaps you simply want some of the rough edges smoothed. No matter whether it is a small or large change that is desired, you have been attempting to bring it about through exertion of your will. Now there is a time and place for such approaches. Yet there is another way, a gentler and more peaceful way, that will evoke little resistance within you and help you attract what you want rather than to have to carve it out of your own blood, sweat and tears. This is the taming power, the magnetic lure of attraction that can tame even beyond the capacity of will.

You must be willing to become empty in order to be filled. You must be willing to accept the very thing you wish to be transformed. You must be willing to become flexible in order to stay true on the path. You must be willing to become childlike in order to be wise. It is in embracing what is that empowers you to transform it. You can, of course, choose the other way; to pursue, push and direct. However, you will find it an uphill battle all the way and it will only get you so far. This way hold more finesse, attains a greater result and will lead you further along your spiritual path as you learn that the opposites are only an appearance of reality, no reality itself. What you want is possible.

HOLY SISTERS

I am bringing you the gift of kindred spirits. These are helpful friends for your life journey. You have the power to help others and are worthy of being helped too. You are the keeper of the wisdom of the heart and you understand that there is no need for competition or comparison. There is more than enough for all to experience abundance of blessings. You know that when true spiritual success comes for one, the resources available for all only increase. Enjoy the sacred connections that I am sending your way. Nourish and be nourished, as you gather in my name.

You are one of kind. The way you share yourself with the world is particular to you. You have a path to walk this lifetime that is solely your own. You may meet others encountering similar issues at times, and yet your own path will never be exactly the same as anyone else’s. The type of frequency you hold is as individual as your fingerprints. Tht uniqueness cannot ever be taken from you, co-opted by another or compromised in any way. Whilst your energetic signature remains distinctly your own, it can create beautiful healing harmonies when allowed to synchronise with the energetic signatures of others. You could imagine it like individual scents intertwining with each other to make an enchanting perfume, or individual notes combing as emotive and uplifting music.

Don’t be scared to let go of relationships you have outgrown, that cannot serve love or restrict the flow of life because they are fundamentally critical or exploitative. Instead, let go and be willing to open up to new people who hold less fear in their hearts. The power of group endeavour, where there is an intention to generate love and be of service, cannot be underestimated. You are strong enough to maintain your individuality and uniqueness and still be part of a group.

Trust your heart when it comes to choosing your relationships – from how much time you give to family, to where you work and with whom, to your friendships, and even the community in which you live.

I love the cards, I really do. Look at the unfolding here – The Divine wanting to come play with you, becoming empty and trusting, finding your like minded tribe! Wishing you a fabulous week filled with warm bread, comfie thick socks and opportunities. Remember to be willing to connect with the magical and mysterious!

Fall Back and Remember – Weekly Reading November 6th.

Jenny Heston · 5:09 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Marvellous Monday! (Have you been practicing reframing Monday as we discussed a few weeks ago?) Did you enjoy the energy of the wonderful Full Moon on Saturday? I was so thrilled when the clouds cleared and there she was in all her brilliant glory, suspended against the dark night backdrop and lighting up the snow that we received last week. (Yes, yes, I did say snow – gulp!) It was quite bizarre, the other day the afternoon was sunny, mild and felt like the most delicious Autumnal day ever and then the next morning – boom! Huge cold Arctic winds and frigging snow! (Can you tell how thrilled I am about it?) Then on Sunday it was time to Fall Back – so in essence we kind of gained an hour which was lovely and it certainly makes the early morning explores with the hounds much more enjoyable (and visible).

I was rather blessed on the weekend as I attended a Veteran’s banquet and it was so powerful, strong and poignant. It wasn’t filled with political rhetoric, it was the sharing of stories, the honouring of those who have passed and the sharing of hope and gratitude for the freedom and the peace that we are fortunate enough to live within here in North America. The next day I was in a grocery line up and I always wear a Poppy for Remembrance Day, which is coming up on November 11th, and as I’m waiting in line the chap behind me started a rather odd debate about the wearing of a Poppy. He shared that he refused to wear one as it was a symbol of death to which I totally, 100% disagree. The Poppy to me is a symbol of Remembering those who bravely went to fight for our freedoms and well being. It is also a symbol of Hope, hope for our troops that are still deployed all over the world and Hope for a time of Peace. If you don’t know the story of the Poppy I felt compelled to go learn as much as possible and there is a great post here. As someone who was in the Military reserves and a reserve police officer and having friends who are in the military, let alone a father who was and a grandfather, I feel very strongly about the respect and honour that is due to those sacrifices and those that are still away from home. So after this conversation with said gentleman I started thinking about Peace and Hope.

Peace. What is Peace? What does Peace within you, Peace from you and Peace all surrounding you look and feel like to you? So I invite you to take a moment, just a moment and breathe with that. As you take a glorious deep breath in through your nose vibrate the word Peace in your mind and as you exhale through an open mouth send out the intention of Peace & Hope to whomever or whatever you choose. Keep breathing in this way and repeating the vibration of Peace within you, Peace from you and Peace and Hope gently surrounding you. When you feel ready, gently open your eyes and let’s go see what the message for this amazing week

The Sacred Rebels were adamant that they had to come out for this event and Rose Quartz insisted that they be the only ones (along with Selenite as an amplifier) to come play. Which I thought was very appropriate as Rose Quartz is an amazing heart crystal.

So let’s go pick shall we?

Ready to go see who wants to guide you this week?

INNER TRUST

Though it may be cloaked and hidden, within you lies natural magnificence, vibrancy and true uniqueness. The harder this is for you to believe, the more growth you are being offered now. Your opportunity for growth lies in letting go of the need to hide yourself from the world and to let go of any doubt about the wonder of what lies within you. It is tie for you to trust yourself and let the real, inner you out from behind the veil.

You know what you are doing! You have enough wisdom and intuition to be able to place yourself more fully in the word, to take steps to unhide yourself! Even if you feel you have no clue about what is happening at a broader level in your life, even if you can’t quite see the whole picture of what is taking place within or around you, you still have all the wisdom and intuitive ability you need to take one step at a time and navigate your way through absolutely anything that life brings to your door.

This is not a time of self doubt or playing small. It is a time to get in touch with the courage, boldness and dare-devil within, and to take that step, big or small, into the future that is beckoning you forward. You have the wings to fly. Sometimes we don’t realise it until we leap over the edge of what we have known and begin to soar into a new life.

LEGACY OF LIGHT

You are being asked to honour the legacy of light that is your sacred birthright. This is a sacred endowment from the great universal source of light to humanity. It is the light of wisdom, creativity, radical courage, love and respect that is passed down from the heart of each generation to the next. The legacy of light is your spiritual birthright to refine and shine your essence into the world….to be like a sun, radiant and unapologetic of your nature.

The more you are nourished by this legacy of light from your past, the more you become a bearer of the legacy for those that will be supported by your light in the future. A creative choice you are making, or have made, or soon will make, is one that is in alignment with your sacred purpose and spiritual path of healing and growth. The legacy of light cannot be ignored without some detriment to your sense of wellbeing. If you were asking about a particular question and chose this card, then part of the answer to your question is that the issue at hand is one of utmost importance to your spiritual growth – even if it seemed like relatively insignificant question. You are to shine!

The legacy of light also asks you to call on the unconditionally loving support that exists for you, every day. This light will offer you all manner of assistance. To not call upon it is like starving because you have no means to acquire food, whilst a feast lays before your eyes – if only you would partake of it! You have some special creative and healing offering to make to the world in this lifetime. You will leave a legacy of light for the greater good upon this planet and you will be lovingly supported in many ways by the great creative universal intelligence when you ask for help.

SACRED FOOL

The fool is a great rebel, able to thwart convention and tell the truth without restraint. Your heart is a wonderful, powerful, sacred fool! It cares not for the right way to do things. It cares not for what the mind says is real and not real. It lives according to an inner wisdom that cannot be dictated to or controlled by anything. It loves, it lives and it is what is!

It’s time to take your offer to the world. Don’t try to be appropriate, don’t try to be socially acceptable and worry about what others may think – just be. If you want to wear a mad hat whilst doing so, fine.

It’s time to leave behind what has been because it no longer feels right to stay attached to it. Your mind is a monkey puppet on strings. More often than not, it is cajoled into fear when it could be playfully dwelling in the radical spontaneity of life. So, the sacred fool in you urges your mind to let itself be pulled into joy by your heart strings not into fear and doubt by media or anything else. It’s time for you to play.

It’s time for you to let life happen in a completely unreserved, unscripted way. Life wants to operate more radically through you so that you become the conduit through which miracles and crazy wild synchronicity can occur. If you find yourself making choices that have others questioning your sanity, then you are right on course. You are just approaching enlightened awareness. There is a moment – sometimes a rather long one – when we wake up to life, shed our attachment to mass opinion and float in a completely different state of being. Stay on your path, stay on the journey, remember to take nothing too seriously and it will all work out perfectly.

Wishing you an incredible week filled with Peace, Hope, Ease and Effortlessness. Wear your Poppy loud and proud and please take time on Remembrance Day to send thanks, remember, and commit to being the Peace, Love and Hope that you would like to see in this world. Take great care, bundle up warm and see you next week!

Twas the Night before Halloween and Samhain – Weekly Reading October 30th.

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Twas the night before Halloween and all through the house, costumes were being sewn – there was even a mouse! The ghosties and ghoulies were hung with great care, with the hope that they would give someone a great scare! The pumpkins were nestled all tight in the garden beds, with little tea candles shedding light in their heads.

I love Halloween! The pumpkin carving, the costumes, making taffy and seeing all the little ones so wiggly excited as they holler at the door “Trick or Treat”. I used to be terrified as a child that someone was going to say “Trick” and make me sing, or recite a poem or something equally daft (hey I was 7) instead of just handing over handfuls of sweeties! With my kids I have always had a “mummy tithe”, in other words when we would get home from trick or treating we would go through all the sweeties and make sure they were fine and dandy, sort them into piles (not my idea but my youngest ones) and then count them. So if one of the boys had 100 sweeties, the tithe amount was 10, thus 10%. Now do the math, I have 5 kids! Yes, that’s right I would get a motherlode of all my favourite things, little mini smarties, kitkats, mars bars and Aeros. Nom, nom, nom. It would last me all year, unless the kids found where I had hidden them.

At the time that most of us celebrate Halloween it is also the festival of Samhain, the third and final Harvest festival where we celebrate with fire, eating and honouring the dead. In many places, Samhain coincides with the end of the growing season. Vegetation dies back with killing frosts, and therefore, literally, death is in the air. This contributes to the ancient notion that at Samhain, the veil is thin between the world of the living and the realm of the Dead and this facilitates contact and communication.

Now people can get rather tweaked when we talk about death, but if we look to Nature that is what is happening in the Northern Hemisphere. The trees are releasing their leaves and going into a more dormant state, the ground is getting colder and harder, and we are starting to turn inward. As we turn inward there is often a reflecting process as to what is working for us and what isn’t. To me (as someone who used to get tweaked about the word Death), it’s just a release, a release of an idea, a habit, a belief etc.

There are many glorious celebrations and rituals that you can do to celebrate and honour Samhain.

Go for a nature walk – celebrate the cycles of life that nature shows us.

Make an ancestor altar – Gather photographs, heirlooms, and other mementos of deceased family, friends, and companion creatures. Arrange them on a table, dresser, or other surface, along with several votive candles. Kindle the candles in their memory as you call out their names and express well wishes. Thank them for being part of your life.

Renovate (yes I said that) – Select an area of your home or life as a focus. Examine it. Re-organize it. Release what is no longer needed. Create a better pattern. Celebrate renewal and transformation.

Bonfire Magic. Kindle a bonfire outdoors when possible or kindle flames in a fireplace or a small cauldron. Write down an outmoded habit that you wish to end and cast it into the Samhain flames as you imagine release. Imagine yourself adopting a new, healthier way of being as you move around the fire clockwise.

Now with Halloween and Samhain burbling in your mind let’s crack on with the reading. It seemed very appropriate to do it outside on a bed of leaves and instead of glorious polished crystals, we have glorious rocks that I have gathered as I explore (after all they are crystals in the rough). Divine Circus was the hands down, have to come and play, deck of Oracle Cards that wanted to come work with you this week. Which I feel is really appropriate!

Let’s take a moment and just breathe, come back into your body, breathe in through your nose and sigh it out through your mouth. See a glorious stream of golden light funneling down through your head as you breath in and as you exhale see it whoosh out through your heart. When you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Shall we go see?

RED COUNTESS

Deep within, you know what is true and what to do (or not do). Yet there is so much noise and distraction in the world, and even at times in our own minds, that listening for our inner wisdom can seem like trying to hear gentle birdsong in the midst of a rock concert. Even so, you are hearing an inner truth, and deep down, you know it. Can you trust that it is safe to not only hear your inner voice but act on it too?

There is something that you know. You’ve felt, sensed, heard or realised this truth more than once. Even if others see or feel differently, you just know what you know, even if you don’t quite know how you know it!

Give your truths value. Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense. Know that they’re worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying.

SUPERNOVA

Something in you needs to be unleashed. This is not quiet and steady growth, but more like a wild explosion of creative energy and sacred fire. The sparks your rapid growth will create shall ignite your body, mind and soul, inspiring you to expand even beyond what you believe is possible. Your light will shine far and wide. You cannot control it, but you can trust it.

A rocket is capable of travelling far and with great power and speed, before settling into an effortless orbit far beyond the world in which it began its journey. To launch, however, requires power. A quiet and continued power is not appropriate for the task. A raw and explosive force is needed to propel the rocket from the known world of earth towards its destined orbit in space. You are in a time or rapid growth so accelerated and powerful that it can feel like an explosion, as if you were the rocket being launched into space. It tends to be of high intensity but short duration.

As a rocket moves from the dramatic force of the launch towards the eventual peace of an effortless orbit, the rocket will jettison the very thing needed to get the journey started. This is about letting go of old attitudes, ideas, ways of being and attachments, to allow for utter freedom to ascend. After the launch there is another birth of sorts: the settling into a new pattern of life at a higher altitude, with more peace, effortlessness and consciousness. Each phase happens naturally and you’ll feel when and how to respond to each phase in your life as you trust yourself.

CROWN OF THE BUTTERFLY BAMBINI

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

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

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

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

Wishing you a spooktacular Halloween, a delicious Samhain and don’t eat too many of those tiny little choccie bars (though they are super tempting)! Have a fantabulous week and remember to laugh often and be gentle with your glorious self! See you next week.

Is that a skiff of snow on the mountain top! Gulp! Weekly Reading October 16th.

Ahhh, it’s good to be back! How are you? Happy Monday! I hope you have had a stupendous couple of weeks, and have made sure to get out and do something that ignites your soul and makes you laugh until you want to snort!

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving the other weekend, great food, amazing friends and family, large fire and big laughter. It was absolutely perfect and ham/split pea soup and turkey soup ensued afterwards. Nom, nom, nom. It has also been the time to work on the renovations (have I said I loathe sanding gyprock?) and time to put the garden to bed. The other weekend I had over 200 bulbs to go in and I had picked up multiple bales of straw. So I grabbed my 10 year old and advised (don’t you love that word), that he was going to come give me a hand. Now don’t get me wrong, I love this little chap to pieces but he is certainly not uber keen to play in the dirt, garden, build or any of those things, however bless his cotton soxs, he zipped up his hoodie and out we went.

He couldn’t quite get what I meant when I said “We need to pop some bulbs in and put the garden beds to sleep for the winter.” Hmmm, how to explain this. ….. So we nattered about how the garden beds had provided glorious food and flowers for quite a while, he got that. How like humans we need to replenish, restore and rest, he got that. So I explained what we were doing was removing all the detritus (dead plants, old flowers etc) preparing the glorious garden beds and popping little bulbs into them. “But why are we planting things if they need a rest?” Good question! These little bulbs are like ideas, goals and dreams – think of that skateboard you wanted so badly and you thought about everyday and saved up for, he got that. Did your skateboard come overnight? No. These bulbs are the same, we whisper something lovely to them as we create a hole in the soil for them to get comfy in and then slowly put out roots, however, they won’t flourish or raise their gorgeous green spikes until they are ready in the Spring. Sweet! He go that and happily started planting daffs, tulips, crocus, snowdrops and a myriad of others. As he planted I weeded out the next bed and I grinned like the Cheshire Cat when I heard him whispering and talking to the bulbs! Once we had a few beds done then came the straw, big thick layers of straw gently placed and patted. But why? “Do you like your down duvet at night?” Yes. “Why?” It keeps me toasty warm and makes me feel safe and comfy. Exactly! The thick layers of straw that we are putting down are like gorgeous duvets for the bulbs and the earth. It keeps everyone safe, stops squirrels and racoons coming and digging up the bulbs and they feel cosy and comfy as they sleep their way into existence. He got it! As he heaped straw onto the beds he gently pushed and patted it down and talked to the beds and said he hoped they would be warm and cosy and he was looking forward to seeing them in the early Spring!

So even though this gorgeous little being is not super outdoorsy, he is very open to tending, caring, creating. We had a great time and got half the bulbs in! Whoot! Whoot!

With all that being said, I invite you to see in your Mind’s eye a lovely patch of freshly weeded dirt just waiting for something. Next to you is a basket of bulbs, you don’t know which one is which, but you know they will all burst up at their right time and amaze you. There’s a cute little red trowel leaning up against the basket and a bale of fresh straw to the other side of you. Think of the things you want to see, think of the things you want to be, think of the ways that you want to show up, serve, inspire and support. As those thoughts cross your mind, gently pick up the trowel and a bulb, make a gorgeous space in the dirt and pop the bulb in whilst you whisper your thought. Gently pat the dirt over. When you have finished your basket of bulbs gather up the straw and tuck your beautiful intentions in, make them nice and warm and cosy and whisper to them about how excited you are to see them when they are ready.

With that energy, I invite you to pick the card or cards that resonate for you. This week it was most certainly Sacred Rebels that were adamant they needed to come play. As I still have straw left it felt appropriate to do the reading on the blanket for the earth and intentions. Some of the last purple fall flowers came to join and most certainly the crystals of Snowflake Black Obsidian, Sodalite and Lepidolite.

Did you pick?

Ready to go see who wants to work with you this week?

BEYOND THE MIND, THE HEART BEATS

In the chaos of modern life and the constant fluctuations of our minds, it can be difficult to remember that a sublime sanctuary lies within. Yet it is always there. Beneath the ceaseless activity, there is an endless, vast spaciousness that restores and connects us to something greater – something that exists outside of time. Some might call it “eternity”.

Within that sanctuary, sacred sound is felt rather than heard. That sacred sound is actually the reverberating heartbeat of the entire universe. Your own heart’s rhythm sounds within the greater universal heartbeat.

There is the way of the mind – which can make mountains out of molehills even when it thinks it is turning mountains into molehills! Then there is the way of the heart. It is subterranean and moves subtly beneath possible obstacles, intelligently shifting with exquisite sensitivity, sensing the way forward, through dangerous pathways and responding to what is before it even occurs in the physical world. However with the heart’s intelligence we cannot see and know in the same way that we do when we allow the mind to direct us. We have to be open to another way if we want to benefit from the innate intelligence of the heart.

Deep within, you know what to do and you know what is true. It matters not whether the mind and its plans seem to agree with your inner sense. Your willingness to trust your heart and to rebel against fear will serve you well. Let your heart lead you. Be sure of your faith and trust in what you feel. Your head and heart have been in conflict at times over the course of your life. This has brought you struggle and, sometimes, deep suffering. However, a truce will be declared and the appropriate outcome – of the mind waving a white flag of surrender – is imminent. Soon, if not already, you will finally be feeling that your heart is leading you! You will feel that your mind is learning to follow the guidance of your heart, rather than trying to be out front, seeing and sorting everything out in advance, in order to be safe. What a relief to let go of this old way!

You are now in a position that is more powerful than ever, because you are allowing yourself to be guided by your heart – a heart that beats in harmony with the heart of all existence. Your affairs are in accord with love and no matter what may appear to be at times, all is unfolding according to that greater love. You included!

DREAM A BEAUTIFUL DREAM

The urge to create is the same within you as it is for the universal creator. It also has the same magical ability to draw harmony into being to to find beautiful order in chaos. This includes bringing harmony and the perfect balance of well being into your body, mind and emotions. This is also the part of you that wants to dream of beauty and bring it to life in as many ways as possible – in how you eat, dress, look, behave, make love, create art, relate to your community, write your poetry by moonlight or bathe by candlelight….

You are meant to dream of beauty and to create beauty, in its far more holistic and creative definition. Beauty is meant to soothe the soul, inspire thoughts of love, devotion and appreciation and to balance the nervous system. These are healing effects. Healing for the creator and those that receive it. They are worthwhile. Time that you spend dreaming of beauty and allowing it to be born through you in various heart-centred ways is worthwhile. Don’t disregard it or discount it. The most beautiful dreams can inspire the practical, hardworking dedication required to bring them to life for the betterment of the world.

There is a situation in your life right now where you feel uncertain about your ability to “fix” or heal. You lack the inspiration to be able to imagine it differently than how it currently seems to be. You may therefore feel inhibited in your ability to bring about constructive change. However, the perfect beauty of this situation is not revealed by what you attempt to do to it, or through trying to impose the right “dream” upon it. It is to be healed and perfected into all that it can be, through the revelation of the beauty that already lies within it.

In opening up to the beauty within yourself and your circumstances, you open up to change. You can overcome resistance and denial by approaching it with a curious mind, an open heart and acknowledging the hidden beauty. You have the power to be a positive influence in whatever situation holds the most meaning for you right now, and you need to know that.

VISIONS OF LIFE BEYOND DEATH

Sacred vision is awakening within you. You’re becoming blessed with the ability to truly see. To see what is real rather than what appears to be. This is true insight. What was once considered consequential may soon be found to hold little consequence after all. What was once dismissed as an irritation or irrelevance may be seen to have great spiritual significance. As mundane as something once appeared it could now be worthy of absolute attention. The gift of genuine vision takes you into the being of the universal creator. This is sacred terrain, beyond logic, convention and that which is limited in any way.

The vision of love, the truth of all that is, can move us more than anything else possibly can. If you have been wondering about your life path or whether you should take action on a project or you need inspiration to really move you out of a slump you have fallen into, then this oracle brings you a message of hope. You will receive your vision. You will be graced with a way out of the stagnancy. You will be able to see things differently and more accurately.

You are leaving behind a smaller view for a more expansive one. You are watched over in life and held in protection. Shift your perspective and look at an issue of concern a little differently. Your ability to be inspired and see the light in all things is unfolding. It must be nourished in your heart with loving acceptance because you are going to help others through your vision, your art and how you choose to be in the world.

What a glorious reading. A lot of requests or invitations to trust, release and allow love to be the guiding force (which it is when we let it in). So my glorious one, I hope you enjoyed and I wish you a delicious week. Remember to get outside whilst the colours of either Fall or Spring are happening, feel your feet on the earth and if it is Fall time with you – play the game of trying to catch a leaf as it gently flutters down from its tree branch in the breeze and then make a Wish! Miracles abound everywhere, you just have to practice letting them in! See you next week and thank you so much for all the delightful comments and feedback, I really appreciate them.
