Divine Inspiration

Grace, The Invitation, New Moon in Taurus

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!

Love and Fear. Equinox bundles are Here!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Manic, Marvellous, Melding, Meaningful, Mindful March Monday! How are you gorgeous one? As we are all aware, this has been a crazy, panic loaded week for a lot of people. I mean seriously, just turn on the news and it’s enough to make you want to curl up in bed with 30 books!

Talk about a huge portion of the population going down the rabbit hole! Which to be honest, I most certainly did on Thursday. Why? I have spent weeks creating two glorious Equinox bundles for you (one for the Northern Hemisphere and one for the Southern) that help you align, flow, delight, embrace the sacred, ignite desires and step into all your are. As Equinox is this Thursday the 19th in the Northern Hemisphere, and on the 20th in the Southern.

Wednesday night I looked at these gorgeous creations, each over 30+ pages long, packed with deliciousness and an amazing guided visualisation, smiled in glee and went and had a cuppa. When I came back they were gone! The laptop had crashed and I hadn’t saved them to Dropbox! WTF!

Thursday morning after not sleeping I dragged my sorry arse out of bed and thought “fuck it” I will go work at the local grocery store, and as I popped the kettle on I inadvertently turned on the news and went even more into that energy and got dragged down into the sink hole of fear. Should I rush out to buy 40 packs of toilet paper? Then the winds picked up to 90km an hour and it felt like the apocalypse was here!

What to do? Go for a walk and swear at every tree, which I did. Go buy cheesy bunny pasta and gobble it all up, which I did. And during all this I reminded myself that I live, eat, breathe and love what was in those bundles, on a day to day basis. I walk my talk. So I came home, sat my arse down and with an iPad wrote, and wrote, and wrote. 40 hours later Ostara and Mabon bundles are even better than before!

But why did I bother, why not buy into the fear and the energy of failure? Because for me to create something that delights, inspires, that is full of alchemy and manifestation, nourishes, heals, guides and supports ALL of us to embrace a sparkling life, our strengths, our magickal gifts, our soul, to live purposefully and with ease is my purpose! I’m pretty clear about that. I even did FB live on Friday (which you know I’m not a huge fan of) as to me even more so now, this was important.

In my world I show up and shine my light as far as the Divine see’s fit! And to be blunt, I love, love, love what I do.

So this got me to thinking about Love and Fear and I remembered A Course in Miracles talking to this point. You can’t have Love and Fear inhabit the same space. Read that again. As the course says: “Every thought you think, word you speak, and action you take proceeds from either your true nature or a distorted illusion. Innocence and guilt, peace and upset, healing and illness all spring from that one fundamental choice.

At various times during the day, especially if you become upset or you face a challenging situation or decision, ask yourself, ‘What is the voice of fear or guilt saying to me now?’. Clearly identify the words and energy of the critical voice. Then ask, ‘What would the voice of love, kindness and encouragement say to me by contrast?’. When you recognise the energetic difference between the harsh demanding voice and the gentle releasing voice, you will clearly see what to do and how to live.”

So what I’m saying is that at this time in space, and with all that is happening. It is VITAL that we be kind and loving with ourselves and with others! I have gone into grocery stores where the energy is one of panic and frenetic “mine, mine” – for goodness sakes I watched a woman buy 25 squash this morning! Why? Because she had to know that SHE was okay. But what about her neighbour? What about the elderly gentleman living down the street from you that smiles when you walk by? What about the young mumma with 3 wee ones under 6? This is a time to connect! To connect to source, earth, yourself and to others. To beam love and light! Pick up the phone, write a letter, make some soup, smile at someone – be kind, beam love and trust.

Do you remember an old kids cartoon called the Care Bears? They each had a symbol on their chubby bellies; love, friendship, fearless, kindness etc. And when they met a challenging situation or someone who was struggling they used to say “Care Bears Unite” and they would beam all that energy towards the other.

We need to be Care Bears. Look in the eyes of the person who is buying 40 cans of shitty soup and smile, show them they are seen. Share what you have. Be kind. Remember, Love and Fear can not inhabit the same space. Which one would you rather be breathing in hourly? We are all in the delicious, crazy journey of life together – reach your hand out to offer help or to ask for help. Both will be there.

Okay, now I gently step off my soap box.

When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to share this week I nearly cried. What perfect guides for this time. Blessed Be. Please let me introduce you to Blessed Be as these guides may be new to you. “May these cards and guides offer you ways to enter into deeper appreciation of your life and its manifold blessings. May you have hope, understanding and kindness. And most of all, may you know deep within your soul, that thou art blessed.”

Oh my gosh, positively perfect.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are Rose Quartz – is the stone of universal love. It restores trust and harmony in relationships, encouraging unconditional love. Rose Quartz purifies and opens the heart at all levels to promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace. Amethyst – is a powerful and protective stone. It guards against psychic attack, transmuting the energy into love and protecting the wearer from all types of harm, including geopathic or electromagnetic stress and ill wishes from others. Amethyst is a natural tranquiliser. And last but not least Carnelian – restores vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity. It gives courage, promotes positive life choices, dispels apathy and motivates for success. Carnelian is useful for overcoming abuse of any kind. It helps in trusting yourself and your perceptions.

And the petals came from my “Unicorn” rose that the ocean gifted me with the other day!

So let’s settle in shall we? I invite you to gently come back into your body and into the present moment. Just here, just now. 10 minutes ago is gone, 10 minutes to come hasn’t happened. Just breathe and be here. Let your breathing gently slow and roll your shoulders up and back to release the tension there. And in your minds eye I invite you to see a golden orb of light, this is the light of Blessing, just for you. Breathe that in and smile.

If you want more support I have a delicious guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

A BLESSING ON YOUR DAY

A blessing to bring awareness, to shape and set the energy of the day, and to frame it with light and the possibilities of healing, adventure and gratitude.

May your soul feel called by the song of the day. May this day be gentle and good, clear and sure, filled with grace and gentle reminders of your own divinity. May the people you meet this day show generosity of spirit, be hospitable and welcoming, and open and candid in all their dealings.

May the sky be filled with blue and white, may the green beneath your feet be solid and soft to walk upon. May the rain fall soft and nourishing, and trees whisper to you the secrets that you need to know.

My any challenges you encounter find an answering strength and courage within you, and when you come to your rest this night, may you remember the many blessings this day held, and account for them with the Gods, and be thankful for each of them, no matter how small.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING FOR PEACE OF MIND

A blessing to help soothe the mind at storm with itself, and bring about calm and peace once again.

When you awaken, and trouble is sitting there, with you, right on your shoulder, speaking to you of all you must fret and be fearful of, let this blessing come to you, and be felt truly in your mind, where the turbulence has reigned for too long now.

Let the quiet of the natural day steal in, let the soft call of your spirit whisper to you that you have worried too long, and that it is time to set down your burden and let the angels and spirit beings deal with what cannot be unravelled by the labyrinth of thought.

Let it go, and let it be, for it is not for you to do what others will not, cannot, or remain ignorant of. It is for you now, to care for you. Let peace, that quiet blessing, softly take up residence in your mind, and speak calming words to you, soothing every objection your mind at war with the world creates.

Let the nurturing of the Mother, the planet herself, who loves you so and cares so much for you, take hold, and take root within your mind. Let yourself do only what must be done this day, and be very kind and very gentle all this time with yourself.

Speak softly, remove yourself from anything that provokes the disquiet unnecessarily, and calm yourself through the taking of moments to soothe yourself. Let your mind release, one by one, those terrible thoughts that have tortured you. Let your body relax, and move, and in the movement free yourself from the stress and tension. Let the idea of being at war with the world, isolated and alone, go, and for a time, seek out only those who show kindness and sensitivity to you.

Be patient with yourself, and in this patience, let the blessing of deep peace be yours.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING OF FORGIVENESS

A blessing to be able to be free of the burden of grudges and vengeance, a prayer to help you open up to the blessing that is forgiveness.

Forgiveness is a tricky beast – and yes, for all it is a gentle word, it is a great beast, forgiveness. For when we seek to forgive, we must wrestle with the wrongdoing that lies at the heart of our resistance to let go of the pain we are holding on to. When we need to forgive, it is often that we are too raw, too far away from justice to be able to even touch the sides of the balm of forgiveness.

Yet staying angry for long periods of time can develop into a compacted bitterness, and bitterness is a gall to all who wish to live freely. It is a struggle to forgive, when we are in the midst of the fallout of another person’s actions. There is a great deal of victim-blaming within our cultures, but in older times, in the Celtic world, there was restorative justice and it would have gone a long way to forgiveness.

May the blessing of this self-forgiveness be bestowed upon you now, dear friend. Know you will gently untangle the doubt and the recriminations that have settled like thorns about your heart, and invaded your mind’s peace. And as you begin to forgive yourself, you will also begin to find forgiveness for the injustices you have endured. For in that forgiveness, and acceptance, and ability to know clearly that wrongdoing was done, you will begin to return to yourself.

You will be wiser, yet unpoisoned. Slowly, may the pain and the bitter buds wither, and in their place may you be reborn – honestly able to remember, wiser, in order to prevent this event taking place again, and able to recall, without pain. And the justice that the Universe will deliver to you will be restorative – bringing back to you threefold what was taken by another. May you be free of the pain, at last.

Let the anger burn down into coals from which you, phoenix-like, can arise. And know you have forgiven – forgiven the other for their dark gift. Forgiven life.

And most of all, delivered the pure medicine of forgiveness to yourself.

BLESSED BE

Wowzer, what glorious Blessings for these interesting times! This is where you can gift yourself the Equinox bundle to support, inspire and nourish you. My wish for you this week is one of connection, love, health and ease. Open arms, Open eyes, Open Heart.

Remember it’s always your choice between Love and Fear. Please remember to smile, look into the eyes of the person opposite you and beam your belly light of love and strength everywhere you go, and let others reflect it back to you. Huge hugs and love.

BLESSED BE.

Imbolc, February Energy Shift, Full Moon in Leo, And a Reading Special!!

Jenny Heston · 12:01 am ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Meditative, Mind-Blowing, Meritorious, Musical, Motivational, Mesmerising, Manifesting Monday! (How was that for alliteration?) How are you delicious lovely? So much to share with you this week with Imbolc (we will get into that), February Energy Shift, a Full Moon in Leo happening and you asked and I listened!

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

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

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

Well whether you realise it or not your body is connected to the seasons, to the energy underneath you, around you, above you and in you. Imbolc is one of the seasonal changes on the Wheel of the Year. However, the Wheel of the Year is more than just the seasonal changes from spring to summer to fall to winter. It also encompasses the 8 holidays, or sabbats. Each of these holidays has its own energy and its own place in the cycle that influences. Imbolc brings us the burgeoning Spring energy that feels like a whisper or a possible promise, it’s the gestation time. The time to get clear on what you want to create or bring into your life. If you want to go deeper and explore some rituals and more information on Imbolc, come on over!

Also, quite a few of you have emailed and messaged me saying you missed out on the Winter Solstice reading special and was there going to be another one? Yes! In honour of this gestation time there is an Imbolc Reading Special from today until Valentines, with 3 new Readings added as well! Yes? Thus, it will run for 12 days, but as the spots fill up the special will become unavailable. And don’t forget, you can gift these to others, which a few of you have done! (Which I think is superb!)

Okay, onwards and upwards. We also have another energy shift on a Shamanic level and the energy for this month is “Management”. And of course the best person to explain it is Lena! We initiated the year with two eclipses stirring the pot of intensity creating numerous opportunities to crack open the potential for growth, expansion, new ideas, and intentions. The energy has been forward moving, barely allowing us to catch up with ourselves enough to sift through the bounty and put it all in order. We are faced with the danger of falling back on what we know, where we are comfortable, putting all our energy into what is familiar rather into something new that has landed in our field.

Management as a theme for this month covers management of your inner life as well as the management of your outer life. Management is a responsibility for what you do now with your new-found inspiration even if you see a challenging road ahead. There will always be an aspect of inner management as well as one of outer management. Inner management has to do with lessons learned and the discipline to change belief systems, patterns and perceptions that only you can change. Outer management has to do with the practices, habits and behaviors that come from those belief systems, patterns and perceptions.

Last but not least we have a glorious Full Moon in Leo on either the 8th or 9th (depending on where you are!)

This is a delicious Full Moon and the second one for 2020. The February Full Moon falls on the 8th or 9th of the month, depending on your time zone. It rests in the sign of Leo, and its energy comes to tend to the fire that lives within our hearts. It comes to clear away all that dims our light and separates us from feeling connected to our journey.

“Leo is ruled by the Sun, so whenever we have a Full Moon in the sign of the Sun, it’s extra special. When Leo holds space for the Full Moon, it’s like a ray of light shining down on all that feels dark and heavy in our lives. Leo is a fire sign that reminds us to connect with all that lights us up. It reminds us to connect with our inner fire, with our inner Sun, and to remember that life is for experiencing rather than controlling.

What sets your soul on fire? What fans your inner flame? What brings you a sense of purpose as you move through the experiences of life? These are some of the questions the February Full Moon poses for us. It wants us to connect with these questions so we can work on clearing away all separates us from feeling present and at peace with our lives.”

Wow! So with our gestation time of Imbolc we are asked to figure out what lights us up and get clear. The theme of Management invites us not to fall back into the comfort zone and the Full Moon reminds us yet again to find that fire that resides in us and get clear about it. Are you willing?

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

Now, if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it’s rude not to):- “Let us enter the wild green world together, friend, the faery forests where the great trees speak with us, the moss soft underfoot, the light pure and gentle. The homes of the once Sacred groves of the Celts, the Saxons, and the Vikings…and to the people who were here long before we had names with which to call them to us – the faerie people. May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.” Lovely!

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

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

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

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

ISA

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

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

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

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

THE GREEN MAN

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

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

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

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

Go forward and thrive, dear one!

FRIGGA

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

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

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

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

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

Huge hugs and love! (Oh yes, and glorious mugs of tea!)

Winter Solstice is only 5 days away! A Gift, and My Virginal Experience.

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy Merry, Majestic, Magickal, Magnificent, Marvelous Monday! How are you? How was the last Full Moon of the decade for you? I found it deliciously delightfully demanding! Lol. However, the night sky was so clear that you could see her in all her glory which was amazing, and I love seeing the rings around her which means it’s going to be a cold night and frost on the ground in the morning! Which there certainly was the next morning.

The other day, as I was driving, the radio was counting down how many shopping days until Xmas, have to say that really irritated me. This can be such a stressful season for so many people with all the concerts, social activities, kids activities, expectations, loss, feeling alone and the frenetic shop, shop, shop. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not being a bah-humbug but I don’t think people need to be made to feel they are on a tight timeline and not keeping up. Also, why not say “It’s only 5 days until Yule!” I have a fabulous Wicca Calendar app on my phone that is counting down the days, hours and minutes to Winter Solstice (aka as Yule).

Here in the Northern Hemisphere we are celebrating Yule (in the Southern Hemisphere you are celebrating Litha). Okay, why do I love this celebration so much? For so many reasons! It’s the longest night and the shortest day, we are welcoming back the sun, it’s the beginning of Winter, it’s the walk into the warm welcoming darkness, that we all tend to avoid. It’s part of my heritage and even if I tried to ignore it my body would remind me. Winter Solstice celebrates the longest hours of darkness or the rebirth of the sun and is believed to hold a powerful energy for regeneration, renewal and self-reflection. (And look, no frenetic shopping involved lol). Also, if we look at Christmas, many of the pieces that we celebrate came from Yule.

I could write pages and pages about Yule/Winter Solstice, how to celebrate, rituals, spells etc. But then this post would be about 30 pages long. So instead; for you gorgeous ones who are part of our community and on our email list I would like to gift you with B.O.W.S – Book of Winter Solstice. Now for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere there will be a gift of B.O.S.S – Book of Summer Solstice. Links to these will be sent out on Friday the 20th. So if this is something that interests you, make sure you are on the email list (super easy, there is a sign up box.)

Oh yes, there will be two glorious guided visualisations, one for the North and one for the South.

So the other day I had a “Virginal Experience” (tricky to do when you have 5 kids!) As I’ve yomped with Danu the therapy dog, I have noticed that here, in this city, people dress their dogs up. Some people do it for the day to day, which I totally don’t comprehend as I have a tough enough time getting out the door without having to dress a dog! However, lots of people have fun Christmas things for their dogs. Hmmmmm. After watching this for a week I began to feel like a bad dog human. Were other dogs judging Danu? Did I care? Were other humans judging me? Did I care? No was the emphatic answer, but……… Now keep in mind, I have had a dog for 30 years and I have never, ever, ever – until now – dressed them. I love them, but they are a dog. However, I will say I succumbed. Thus, I went to various pet stores and looked at all the ridiculous Santa jumpers, Mrs. Claus outfits, things that looked like pyjamas and sooooo couldn’t get behind any of them. So, I popped into the last place, walked through the “doggy clothing aisle” (who knew there was such a thing) and just as I was about to walk out the door there was a flash of green and gold. Hmmmm. I went and checked it out and it was the most funky, cool, fun Elf coat! Yup. I bought it, I am no longer a dog garb Virgin! I then went and dug out my bell bedecked elf hat and Danu and I went for a walk in our garb.

As we did, it was interesting to watch responses – so many people smiled and laughed, small kids wanted to pet and snuggle the elf dog. So my reasoning is, if it makes people smile and feel good I can do this until Xmas (possibly). Though when someone said today – “You are such lovely Elves”. My response was “Depends on the day. Some days I am on the Elf on the Shelf, other times, A Troll on a Stroll, A Gnome in Your Home, A Faery in the Dairy, A Dwarf on the Wharf, now if I could only find something that rhymes with Ogre!” If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

So there we go my lovelies, daft as it may be.

Oh yes, many of you have asked if there is going to be a Solstice special on Private Readings. I have pondered and perked this and yes, for the Wheel of the Year Reading. This reading is offered rarely, however, I am willing to open up 10 spots and offer at a huge discount. This offer will be in place from now until Xmas Eve only, and as I take from the 23rd to January 6th off, the readings will be delivered after that time. So if you are interested, I highly suggest you snap it up now. After all, we are entering a glorious new decade!

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading.

When I asked the cards who would like to guide this week just prior to Winter Solstice, I was delighted to see the “Lightworker Oracle” were adamant. The perfect guides for this celebration and a welcoming of 2020. Now if these guides are new to you, it would be rude not to introduce them:- This deck is for lightworkers and what I mean by that is old souls. They have an interest in being of service. They want to live a life of passion and purpose and have their life mean something at a spiritual level. They care about causes that stir their hearts. They are often the black sheep of their family. Does this sound like you? I know it does for me.

The crystals that wanted to show and shine are:- Stilbite – expands consciousness, helps organise confusion of the mind, encouraging one to take charge of life by committing to a direction. Labradorite – creates a force field throughout the aura, protecting and strengthening the energies within and preventing others from ‘tapping in’ and draining you. Smoky Quartz – grounding, absorbs and transmutes negativity by grounding it in the earth where it neutralises.

Ready? Okay, breathe for a moment or two, nice long slow deep breaths. Breathing as easy as Receiving the guidance that wants to support you, fill you up, inspire you. Breathe. Receive. Allow. As you breathe this way allow the day to day dross to drop to the floor and feel yourself being filled up with gorgeous light that twines with your light. Supporting, nourishing, replenishing. When you are ready, pick the card or cards that invite you to be seen.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look.

UNPLUG FROM MASS CONSCIOUSNESS

There is a belief system based on fear, doubt and distrust this is known as “mass consciousness”. It says it is safer to stay with the crowd, not to question what you have been taught. It says you can’t trust the Divine to take care of your financial well being or your emotional needs. It says you should be afraid and not take risks. Its says that if you dare to stand up and live your truth, you’ll be lost and alone, humiliated, rejected or even destroyed.

You are being guided to unplug from that systems of beliefs. You are capable of a more creative, loving and soul-satisfying way of living. To access this, let go of the way that is too small for your soul!

You are brave and aware enough to think outside the box, beyond what society or your peers may consider ‘normal’. You are supposed to be questioning things right now. You are in a transition from one way of thinking to another, opening up to a new world which you can trust enough to live with peace and happiness because of the upgraded new beliefs you are cultivating.

No matter how others may resist or criticise your choices (perhaps your new ideas take you away from the world they feel comfortable in), your higher guidance encourages you to keep opening your mind to a more loving, higher reality.

Sometimes breaking from the accepted norm, doing things differently or being considered weird to family, colleagues and friends is a sign that you are breaking away from the consciousness of the masses, which is not compatible with your own higher frequency consciousness.

So keep unplugging yourself, one layer, thought, word and deed at a time, from that which the mass consciousness would have you buy into – more stuff, more fear, more competition, more doubt and more suffering. You can challenge any thoughts you don’t want to have. Free yourself. You have the power to change your world and the world we live in as a result, on liberating thought at a time.

ORBS OF LIGHT

The spiritual worlds are delivering a message to you. You may have already heard it, through telepathic reception, and mistaken it for your own thought. Yet it is inspired by your higher guidance, those spiritual beings that love you without condition. It is an answer to a question and guidance to increase your happiness.

It is possible to pray without realising it. The Universe is lovingly listening to every thought and feeling in your heart and mind. When you intentionally speak to the Universe and ask your higher guidance to help you with an issue, this is a powerful way to call the light into your life. It works. Often quite rapidly! However, sometimes we ask for help without being so aware of doing so. Worrying about an issue or pondering a question are ways this happens.

There are orbs of light around you. They are spiritual beings that love you. These orbs contain information and energies that help answer questions – and worries – through the intelligence and love of the higher spiritual worlds. That information might come through a song, a phrase, a feeling or a colour or symbol that unlocks awareness in the deeper recesses of your mind and body.

To access the information of these orbs of light, to be open to seeing them more clearly, whether directly with your own energetic vision through clairvoyance, or through photographs or other means, do so.

Unconditional loving orbs are available to you at every moment, open your heart and invite them in.

DIVINE TALENTS

You are a talented soul. Over many lifetimes, you have developed your spiritual abilities to channel higher awareness, attract healing energy and radiate light to uplift the consciousness of those around you. Your divine talents are many, and uniquely expressed through you. Your talents do not have to resemble those of another to have their own inestimable value. Do not be afraid to use them!

Divine talents are a way in which the Universe reminds us of what we are here to do. Divine talents are unlimited. They include the ability to channel spiritual guidance and healing energy, to perceive clairvoyantly, and be psychic and empathic. Other spiritual talents include writing, performing, sound healing, dancing to awaken awareness, creating art, photography, or divinely inspired tools and jewelry. Cooking food that heals body and spirit is a spiritual talent, as are the abilities to bring people together, to offer comforting and inspiring words at the right time, to help others overcome fear and feel more at peace in moments of importance and more.

Do you acknowledge your talents, yourself? Believe in yourself, your abilities and in your capacity to use those talents in a constructive, healing way? Keep developing your talents until your own unique expression comes to life. Don’t give up in the early and possibly awkward stages, dismissing your abilities as less than those of another. Trust that there is something very real and worthwhile in you. Do not dismiss or diminish your potential. Treat yourself as an investment worthy of development!

Give yourself a chance – enough time, attention and practice to discover what you are really capable of. The Universe knows! Soon, you shall too.

PS: Do what makes you happy, to chase your sacred bliss and express yourself in the world via the unique and special abilities that the Divine has bestowed upon you. When you follow what you love, you are on your life path, and you shall succeed beloved.

Woosah delicious lovely! As the energy builds to Solstice and Xmas I wish for you ease, effortlessness and flow. Remember to take some time out to breathe and be good to yourself! If you want to receive either the B.O.W.S or B.O.S.S make sure you are on the email list. If you want to take advantage of the Wheel of the Year reading as we enter into 2020, there are only 10 spots available. Next week we are going to explore WOTY and some other cool pieces (like the partial eclipse). Sending you huge hugs, squeezes and big mugs of something warm to drink!

Are you Willing to Rewrite Your Story?

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Merry, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday! How are you delicious lovely? How has your week been?

Mine was fab until the wee hours of Friday morning (4:30am) Where I got taken out by a goose and ended up with concussion! (Seriously, you really can’t make this shit up!) So I spent a few days feeling dazed, confused and forgetting appointments, which really irritated me, but what bothered me more was having to say “Sorry, got smoked in the head by a goose at 430 in the morning.” There were many sideways glances, to say the least!

Ah well, life happens lol.

I had an interesting question from a client where she was talking about all the “energetic themes”, and how confused she was as to which one to pay attention to. As we dug deeper she was getting a tad irate and saying “There is a seasonal energy, there is an elemental energy, then you share the shamanic energy of the month, I love my monthly energy reading but there are the moons as well – which do I fucking pay attention to?”

Aaaahhhh, grasshopper. Good question. Pay attention to what resonates for you. You don’t have to take all of them on, unless you understand how they weave or are at least willing to play with the weaving.

Here’s my personal example:- Okay, we are in early Autumn and the element is Water, the Divine Feminine, communication, creativity, connection, expression (think second chakra). I take that as the umbrella as this spans a few months. Then under that gorgeous umbrella I work with the shamanic energy of the month (which we will explore in a mo), as that gives another broad brush stroke to what to allow to perk and play. Then I have my own monthly energy reading, which shows what under those two gorgeous canopies will play out for me personally. Then of course there are the energy of the new moon and full moon, and those both come under all the rest. It’s not complicated and it shouldn’t cause stress – it’s more a case of looking at the broad vision and then bringing it into yourself. Does that make sense?

So for example we have the element of Water in play right now, yes? Which we have referenced above now let’s look at the Shamanic Energy for October:- REWRITING YOUR STORY. The best person to explain this is Lena – Do you love every aspect of your life? Do you love what is happening in the world, on our planet, with your friends and loved ones? Do you wake up every day and feel that everything is perfect and right and you would not have it any other way?

If you answered yes, you are a rarity, as most of us have aspects of our lives that could be much improved and there are parts of our personal story and what we see happening in the world that we would give anything to change.

This month we have the opportunity to shift the cycle of feeling victimized and imprisoned by our story and to put into action our dreams for a better future. This is not going to happen passively. This is an active time of releasing the old story, the attachment to suffering, blaming and complaining, and resetting the patterns to begin manifesting a new dream and living a new story. It seems simple when put into words. However, the attachment to the comfort zone, no matter how unsatisfying it is, can be an enormous challenge to overcome. We simply do not believe we have the power to rewrite our story. Our story is the product of a set of rules, some conscious and some unconscious. In order to rewrite our story, we need to change and rewrite our rules.….. to read more, you can find Lena here.

Okay, so do you see how the element of Water, the Divine Feminine, emotions, communication now feeds into REWRITING YOUR STORY? Then my personal energy report for the month is all about shifting, celebrating and communicating in a way that is a tad more aligned and challenging. (Which again ties in to the two tiers above). Then if we look at the New Moon we just had in Libra, which was about balance, communication etc. Voila! It’s like making a glorious cake with multiple layers. The cake wouldn’t be as amazing without each piece. Yes? Does it become clearer now for you?

Phew, I hope so! If not, let me know. (I could still be dazed and confused from a goose attack lol).

Enough chuntering, let’s go see who wants to work with you this week. When I went to the cards, there were two decks that wiggled and jiggled and then one bounced the other out of the way (cheeky monkey’s). The Oracle of the Dragonfae were most clear – they had messages and guidance they wanted to share. Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them:- These guides are the magickal and mystical that weave through the threads of every day, they are the Dragonfae, Gods and Goddesses who dwelt in dimensional lands….Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu, they are Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin and others – fully alive and filled with magick! They are the deliciously magickal beings that have always been there, we just forgot, and when we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life on this beautiful green and blue planet, known by some as Gaia, by others as Dana, and by many other names.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are:- Amethyst – aids healing and intense spiritual growth, also a gorgeous stone of protection. Chrysocolla – revitalises and balances the base, navel and solar plexus chakras. Lepidolite with Micca – One of the best mood stabilizers, it doesn’t require a prescription and side effects include a sense of calm and tranquility during times of stress and chaos.

So are you ready? Are you ready to at least perk Water and Rewriting your story? Breathe little one, take a big breath out through your mouth and then a deep inhale through your nose. Hold for 4 and then sigh it out. Let the cares and worries drop to the ground. Remember you are part of the Divine. You are connected to Heaven and Earth. If you need some help remembering that there is a cool guided visualisation for you.

As you breathe, ask yourself what tiny piece of your story are you willing to rewrite? Breathe that in. Breathe that out and then slowly back in. When you’re ready, pick the card or cards that whisper, nudge or jump out at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look.

GWYNNE & ELLUISH

Dear one, never be surprised at the ways in which your connections to the Mother and to the Earth are being birthed into the world. If you are experiencing prophetic dreams, sift through the images, and the messages and know that all insights are worthy of attention, and most especially your own. The inner world and the Earth’s magick are both speaking to you, and wishing for you to answer. Do this by connecting with your own inner self. We know that you are searching for answers that are indeed within you, and that the path you are walking is not easy under your feet.

We all return to Her, the great Goddess, our Mother. The Earth wishes for you to reconnect with her in simple, pleasant and joyful ways – friends and food, laughter and love. Do not fear your own true self, your intuitive self. There are many words your people use for the truth of who you are, which can lead to confusion, and there has been fear and suspicion seeded in your minds, which can lead to mistrust.

Know from your true magickal self that you are a being of magick; with a unique blend of earth, air, fire and water magick making up your spirit. You are receiving messages – and yes, you also can hear them, just as we can “hear” each other’s thoughts before they have even developed into words. In time you will come to understand these silent ways of communicating and know the truth of your belonging to the old ways.

Know that all beings – plants, animals, and etheric – have so much to share with you. You are never alone.

AINE AND THE GUARDIAN

Here I stand, offering to you the protection and safety of my guardian being, wanting you to know how very protected you truly are. Never need you fear again those who have done you harm. This is over, and never again will disrespect and tyranny blight your path and light. Know that from this moment on, I stand with you, as does this magnificent Moondragonfae guardian, and together we say you may live as you wish, you may love as you wish, you may worship as you wish. No longer will others who feel they know best have their way with you, in spirit, in your heart, in your body, in your eternal soul. You are a radiant being of moonlit power, and the Goddess, our Mother, is overjoyed at your brilliance, your wit, your beauty, your freedom.

I repeat. You are safe. You are protected. You are divine. All else is a lie.

Allow yourself to take flight, and explore the night and the freedoms it holds. The Moon cycles have much to reveal to you now, and as she wanes and waxes, and shines fully, you may stand beneath her and feel her rays shining through your every cell, filling you with natural magick that sustains your freedom, your true soul self, and brings you a warrior strength that by no means decreases your brilliance as a woman, or your femininity. Be receptive, and Aine will guide you to her magickal places, and this galactic Dragonfae being will help you see beyond our own star, the Sun, into the realms beyond. Your freedom and your self is as boundless as the night sky.

LADY TITANIA

Celebrate yourself!

There is no true happiness without joy in being who you are. Over this next moon cycle, the forthcoming 28 and a half days, many opportunities will come to you to play, revel, dance and explore the moonlit and joyful part of yourself that has been truly too long neglected!

It is time to come forth from the place where you have been taking shelter and quiet time, and partake of the joy of good sweet company. Know that everyone, including the beings of the Dragonfae, is delighted and happy to know of your ability delight in your own self.

Celebrate, and we celebrate with you. Hail, joyful kindred spirit and be welcome to the feast!

Have a stupendous week. Play with the themes. Remember please, please. You are here for a purpose and you are part of the Divine. You are connected to Source and to Earth. Play with rewriting your story, play with the water energy and most of all – play! Laugh, smile, get outdoors and celebrate the colours. As next Monday is Thanksgiving here, I plan on a glorious explore and family time. I will see you the week after.

Massive hugs and squeezes!
