Imbolc, New Moon and Chinese New Year!

· ·

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Imbolc Blessings to you gorgeous one.  

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

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

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

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

It may feel really chaotic & out of balance.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time.  Woosah!

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go meet your glorious guides!

FREAKING BEAUTIFUL

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

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

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

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

CREATRIX

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

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

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

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

ON YOUR OWN TERMS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

· ·

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Re-read the last two lines.  

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

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

STAYING FOCUSED

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

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

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

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

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

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

MIRACLES

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

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

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

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

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

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

FARAWAY PLACES

Stop playing it safe.  

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

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

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

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

Nothing should be taken for granted.

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

New Moon Solar Eclipse, Hope and a Candle Ritual.

· ·

Happy Marvelous, Magnificent, Magnanimous, Magickal, Mysterious, Manifesting, Miraculous Monday!  How are you delicious lovely?  Are you keeping your sense of balance as the holiday season ramps up with fervour and a tad of franticness?

We have lots to natter about this week, so grab a cuppa as we go explore this potent New Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius that happens on Saturday, a New Moon Total Solar Eclipse is one of the most powerful Eclipses we can experience and why we should turn out thoughts towards Hope.  

As Forever shares:- “Let’s take a trip down memory lane, all the way back to May 2020. What growth have you achieved since this time? How has your life changed?

Since May 2020, we have been working our way through the Sagittarius-Gemini Eclipse cycle, but this cycle is now coming to an end and will wrap up on December 3/4, with a final New Moon Total Solar Eclipse.

Reaching the endpoint in an Eclipse cycle is a significant moment. It represents arriving at a new destination. It is a point in our lives where something or some part of us is fully reborn and fully integrated, and ready to play an active part in our lives.

So much has unfolded in the world since May of 2020. On a collective level, there was a grieving experience that unfolded as we were all forced to change our way of living. Events were canceled, holidays were postponed, jobs were lost. And it is perhaps only now that we are starting to see just how this chain reaction of events has led us to where we stand today.

Of course, while this energy was experienced on a collective level, we also have our own personal stories too and leading up to this Total Solar Eclipse, we may now start to see a pattern in how we were being guided and where we were being asked by the Universe to level up in our lives.

Eclipses represent portals into new states of consciousness. They tend to bring events that shift and transform our lives, allowing us to step into a new chapter of our soul’s evolution.

This New Moon Total Solar Eclipse falls in Sagittarius and is like the last step on this journey we have been traveling. It opens the final door on this path and can bring the rewards of our hard work.  Whatever this Eclipse cycle has triggered in us, however we have been asked to grow and change, we will now start to see the end of the journey. 

A new clarity will emerge, and with that new clarity, it will feel like we are opening to a new chapter.

There is no doubt that New Moon Eclipses are powerful times of manifestation and can activate whatever we have been sowing.  Under their presence, energy is drawn towards us, allowing our energy field to become a magnet to whatever needs to come our way.

While this Solar Eclipse is bringing the culmination of all our energies since this Eclipse cycle began, we can also use it to set an intention about what we wish to attract. We can use its energy in a deliberate way to draw in all that we wish to experience.

So with this potent energy available to you, let’s explore Hope.  

Now you may be thinking to yourself – ummm, errr, Jen why are we talking about Hope?

Yesterday was the first Sunday (or candle of Advent).  Advent includes the four Sundays prior to Christmas, and is a time of inner searching, introspection and anticipation.

It is through the darkness of the Earth we await the birth of a new inner light to warm our hearts and strengthen our thoughts and deeds.  Advent is a journey inward to the soul, where we become aware of the eternal light that lightens our way. 

It is also so beautifully entwined in the northern hemisphere with the Winter Solstice and the return of the Sun, and in the southern hemisphere with Summer– celebrating the Sun. 

For those celebrating the Advent festival, and to all spiritual beliefs and traditions, this time of year has something special for everyone – the Season of Light on so many levels.

As we turn inwards with the energy of the season and walk into the darkness, It is a time of seeking and keeping that light aglow and sharing the light.

The delicious piece here is that as you step into the darkness to release, there is a place for Hope.   

Now I will be honest, the word “Hope” has never been one of my favourite words as I find it is used far too much i.e. – I hope the kids do their chores, I hope I win the lottery, I hope the cat doesn’t cough a hairball on the clean laundry……….  So the word Hope always felt a bit banal to me, thus, I went exploring and reading and have to say I really like this definition, it is one I can get behind:-

“Hope is a feeling of trust, a security, and a reason to keep going. It is a passionate desire of our heart. It is a feeling of expectation and a longing for a certain thing to happen.” – Verity Russell

So let me ask – What do you Hope for?

When my kids were small they went to Waldorf for their wee years and in Waldorf education, each week of Advent is assigned a “theme” of sorts and is a time for reflection and gratitude towards the different realms of our earth: stones & minerals; plants; animal kingdom; and humankind.

Over the last few weeks I have been making candles galore, filled with essential oils, dried flowers, crystals and magick.  Thus, over the weekend, I gathered ivy and cedar and made a wreath that sits on my dining room table with five of the lovely candles that I have made. 

As I lit the first one I breathed in Hope, and also honoured the stones and the bones by decorating around that candle with seashells, crystals and beach stones.  

As the first verse says – The first light of Advent is the light of stone–.  Light that lives in crystals, seashells, and bones.

Doing this reminds me we are all connected and we have lots to be grateful for (even on those dark days).

So an invitation for you to deepen into this practice over the next month is a simple candle ritual.  And if you are part of The Creatrix Circle, you will know that ritual is an intention made  manifest.  A ritual takes an idea, thought or emotions and gives it physical form in the world. 

A ritual allows your body, your cells to understand your intention..

Get 4 or 5 candles.  You can make a wreath, or place them on your mantelpiece or wherever resonates for you.  Then put some lovely crystals, stones or shells by the first one – the candle of Hope. Then every evening this week light the first candle and as it burns breathe in Hope, turn your mind, heart and soul over to Hope.  And let that gentle energy dance in your body as the flame dances on the candle.  Yes?

Now enough chuntering from me, let’s crack on with the reading.   When I went to the cards to ask who would like to be present this week it made my heart smile to see who showed up.  The amazing Faery Blessing guides were most adamant.  As after all, who doesn’t need a Blessing?

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them as it would be rude not to.

Faeries are present in every droplet of water, every blade of grass – they are everywhere there is a trace of nature – thus every field, flower, and forest is theirs.  They inhabit the wild rainforests and the old castles; they dance within standing stones and burial mounds; they are on the top of mountains and within the grove deep in the valley; and they appear in the cracks in the pavement and beneath the cities in the old, tangled tree roots.  Faeries are part of this world, and they were here before we were born into this world, and they know us better than we know ourselves.  

For humans, many of us have lost our sense of play, our sense of relationship with nature, our courage to be ourselves – as well as our hope, creativity, and personal power.  We have looked outside of ourselves and nature and the sacred ones for answers, and in doing so, we have become quite lost.  The blessings of the faeries can bring us back into relationship with ourselves, back into relationship with the elements and the elementals, so that we can become more at home within the world, while creating a personal world which supports our dreams, our wishes, and our purpose.  

Yes!  Positively perfect!

So gorgeous one take a breath.  Just a normal breath and then as you carry on breathing allow it to slow down.  Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.  Allow in your mind’s eye a gorgeous rainbow swirl to form, this pattern is made Hope.  That deep trust and knowing.   As you breathe just let it swirl, you don’t have to control it.  

Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper to you and tickle your soul.

For those who have said they would like to hear the Hope Guided Visualisation again, here it is.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

A BLESSING OF GLAMOUR

The Blessing of faery glamour is the gift of being able to change and appear a little different than how we feel to be.  For some people, this could seem a ruse or manipulation.  In truth, though, it is the ability to draw deeply from within us to find the strength to become what we need to be.  You are now gifted the blessing of faery glamour, and you will find you can draw confidence from deep within you in challenging circumstances.

The faeries will lend you some of their energy, too, so you can feel brave within an intimidating situation – overcome nerves that might prevent you from doing something you would otherwise enjoy, find the strength to confront what must be confronted, or head to a meeting with confidence.

Faery glamour is also the ability to physically change.  So to others you may now seem a little taller, and you will have greater belief in your own presence, now, too, to know that you draw your energy up from within and have influence by showing all of what you can be.

Let the mantle of the blessing of glamour now fall about you, to help you feel and be powerful, even when exhausted; to feel attractive, despite societal conditioning and criticism; to speak your truth, when you feel afraid of what the truth’s reception will be.

May you be invisible when you do not wish to be seen and be seen when you wish to have presence.  You now have the gift of glamour, and you can use it to call upon your own faery blood to arise and be of assistance to you when the travails of the human world can seem a burden.

Draw up the glamour from within and assert a boundary, repel a predator, create an impression, and believe in yourself once again. 

A blessing of the faery glamour to you, friend.

A BLESSING OF NWYFRE

The Faery now offer you the gift of Nwyfre, the blessing of healthy energy, clear and revitalising, which will manifest in a kind of flow all about you, radiating from within.  This primal force of energy, Nwyfre, will give you more energy to move well, to be of good cheer, to do what needs to be done, and to do what you wish to do.

With this faery blessing comes a sense of being here, of being grounded and centred, of strength and a thriving energy, of feeling strong and well, connected and supported.  You will feel the urge to spend time outdoors, within natural light – with the trees, or with the animals, or the ocean or bodies of water.  All of these sources of natural life force will feel more connected to you than before, almost as if the world is speaking with you and you can speak to the world in return.

If you have felt nervous, or frail, unwell, or uncertain, this flow of Nwyfre will enter you, a blessing from the realm of the fae, and it will be of great assistance.  This blessing is a regaining of energy, a sense of rising up from within a greater source of vitality – and this is the support of the faery realm.

Its gift will be felt in the breath and the blood, in the bones and in your heart, and you will shine once again, with a life force and a glow that will let people know they have met a person who is well and blessed.

A blessing of Nwyfre to you, friend.

A BLESSING OF THE SEELIE

A gift from the Seelie Court is yours.  The Seelie Court is a place where you are treated with courtesy and honour, respect and grace.  To be blessed by the Seelie is to have kindness enter your life.  This blessing from the Seelie Court acknowledges the courtesy and respect you have extended to others, and the kindnesses you have done, again and again, without thought for what you would receive in return.

The Seelie have been observing your goodness, and due to this goodness, you are now receiving a reward.  You will find consideration and empathy, understanding and rewards, when this blessing comes to you.  There could be a small windfall, a little extra of everything – so that, suddenly, it seems like the Universe is supporting you, and that what once was a struggle becomes easier.

In the old days, the blessing of the Seelie meant the cow’s milk was sweeter and more abundant, the grain grew high in the fields, and babes grew strong in days filled with gentle sunshine.  

For you, your tender plans and hopes will have every kindness to support them, as the blessing of the Court of the Seelie is yours, and with that, comes a time of grace and ease, compassion and flow.

Blessings.

Well delicious lovely, that was quite a Divine reading! Wishing you a stupendous week filled with Hope.  Remember to light your candle every evening and allow the tendrils of Hope to seep into your day to day and soothe your soul.  Big hugs and squeezes and play with Eclipse!  

Samhain, All Souls Day, Dia de los Muertos, Rituals and New Moon in Scorpio!

Happy Miraculous, Magickal, Mystical, Melancholy, Magnificent, Misty, Merry, Manifesting Monday!  

How are you gorgeous one?  Happy Samhain!  (As in my practice, Samhain goes from dusk on the 31st to dusk on November 1st)!  

This is the Celtic new year, the end of the growing season – the time of Death on the Wheel of the Year.  This is where the past year dies & our lives shift inward in preparation for new life to take root.

This is an extremely powerful & transformative time of year.

As nature makes this final shift inward, and lets whatever remains die on the outside – you are also making this shift. And you have your own things that need to die in order for you to do so. 

This time of year, and this seasonal energy, is helping you discover what those things ARE – the things that you have outgrown, the things you are ready to release in order to continue growing & evolving.

If you’re interested in learning more about Samhain & how this time of year influences you mentally & emotionally, check out the Magickal Book of Samhain, or come and join our incredible community in Creatrix Circle, where we walk the Wheel of the Year together!

I love, love, love this time of year!  After the fiery intensity of summer it is so nice to move into the watery, reflective, inward and introspective energy of Autumn.  And for me October and November meld together in a delicious way  – inviting me to go deeper, to pull the energy in and push it down to  my roots (as the plants do), and let all the pieces go that need to.  A time of transformation. 

I mean for goodness sakes, if we look at Biology 101 where does a seed transform?  Under the ground.  In the dark, warm earth where it is quiet and nurtured it can then start to sprout!  (Okay I’m getting off my soap box!)

Now I know some of you may be saying “Hang on Jen, isn’t this All Souls Day, or Día de los Muertos.”

You would be correct on both counts!!!  All Souls Day is celebrated on November 2nd and Dia de los Muertos is from October 31st – November 2nd.  So take a moment to think about it – Samhain, All Souls Day, Dia de los Muertos are all about honouring our dead, giving thanks to our ancestors and seeing death as a transition and a time of transformation.  

Make sense?

Thus, I highly encourage you to take some time to sit in the darkness, offer up a blessing to those who have passed and invite in the whispers of your amazing ancestral line.  

(And yes I know our Western Culture can be super tweaky about death).

I have a super easy Ritual of Release for you to try. All you will need is your willingness, some leaves, a candle and your intention. Ready?

This Thursday we have a lovely New Moon in Scorpio and so what does this energy bring to you?  New Moons are about retreating within, and Scorpio energy is also very reflective. We may find ourselves delving into the darker corners of our hearts and minds. We may find ourselves unpacking some of the denser emotions that we have been holding on to.

As Forever shares:-  “The Scorpio New Moon represents transformation and can even be a catalyst if you are in any in-between phases in your life.

You may just find that shortly following this New Moon, the metamorphosis journey you are on kicks into a new gear, revealing the next step of your process.

If you are in a stuck and stagnant place, you can call on the energies of this New Moon to help create a shift in your life.

This New Moon is geared to inspire change, so think about what needs to transform in your world and then go about setting your intentions. Work with the energies of this New Moon by knowing that it can help instigate shift and change if that is what you are looking for.”

If you feel inclined, use the moody energies of the Scorpio New Moon to delve into those shadowy corners, who knows what beautiful insights will come into the light.

“And if you are stuck trying to figure out the essence of who you truly are I will give you a clue – you are far more magnificent, radiant, and lovely than you could ever believe.”

Okay I have chuntered on long enough!  

When I went to the glorious cards and asked who wanted to guide and support you this week I was delighted to see  The Oracle of the Shapeshifters.  As we are all shapeshifting in some shape or form right now.

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?

Thus my gorgeous one, take a moment.  Just let your breath naturally slow down, relax your shoulders and jaw.  As you start to relax I invite you to see in your mind’s eye the energy of Release.   What do you want to keep?  What feels a tad stagnant?  What messages do you need to hear from your ancestors?  If you need a little more support dropping into that energy I have a lovely little guided visualisation for you.

Then, when you’re ready, pick the card or cards that make your soul breathe.

Did you remember to pick?

Then let’s go have a good gander shall we?

FIONA AND THE UNICORN

Unicorns help us choose between what is pure and what is polluted.  The unicorns’ alicorn (a spiral horn, holding the divine ratio and perfect proportions within it) connects directly to their third eye.  At this time, many messages are being drawn directly to your third eye, and so your clairvoyant capacity is growing and opening.  This may sometimes be disturbing for you.

You may experience flashes of light at night, as though lightning is striking behind your closed eyelids.  You will be able to see the colours and energies around beings, even see who their guides and etheric companions are. 

With your eyes open, it is likely you will begin to see another world superimposed over this one.  Energy will form shapes around people, objects, plants and even buildings.  You will see colours and energy fields, orbs and entities – you are able to see what once you could not.

For a time this could lead to confusion, disrupted sleep, and a feeling that perhaps you may not be of sane mind.  But this is not true.  The unicorn and I are here to guide you through this time.  The Unicorn will help purify the energy that comes close to you, and advises you to drink a great deal of water as you go through this process of the 3rd eye opening widely.  

You will sometimes feel trapped in a world where  you receive too many visions to make sense of – this will pass, and we will help you through this stage.  Ask us what  you need to know, and we will do our best to translate the images you are seeing – the energies you are able to glimpse so clearly now – into words you are able to understand.  It is not the time to give in to fear and banish this visionary experience.  Accepting it will lead to a great healing and the ability to help others.

TWO KITTENS

This magickal being is holding tight to two beautiful cats; both of them offer her growth in her femininity, independence, and satisfaction on many levels.  Both of them are very young, very tender.  She feels nurturing and protective toward them both.  “How can I put one down?” she asks, torn.  She is being asked to choose between the two, to separate one thing from another, and she is shocked that she must make this choice.  

When this comes to you, tune in.  Ask yourself, your body, what it wants to do.  Make a decision.  You can no longer go on at this point attempting to walk in two directions at once.  And that which you most fear – causing pain – will not happen when you choose.  Cats are about your independence,  your ability to leap high and to make it through many tricky situations.  Choose.  Choose now.  

So are you having trouble making an important decision?  You can’t see which one to choose?  Which way to go?  Both seem equally good or equally flawed?  Hmmmm.  We have come to show you the difference between two choices.  You know you can take only one road at this time, and you know you must trust that that which you leave behind – that which you are telling yourself you are abandoning – will be safe and cared for.  You will make it through this choice without feeling agonies of guilt.  You will.  The Universe trusts you to make the right choice!  

Feel it – you can now choose between seemingly indivisible ways.  There will be a solution to this impossible situation.  

For now, put one thing down and choose the other, or no real growth can take place.

BATS IN THE BELFRY

These companions will teach you how to be upside down in life for a time, to fly against the mainstream views, and to find your way when you can see no way ahead at all.  They will assist you in moving far beyond the cares and conditioning that told you to stay enraptured by limiting beliefs, to remain in thrall of your fear of being different.  The bats and their astounding skills, sensitivity, and talents will help you accept that you must begin to live with even more courage, imagination, and boldness – even when you are misunderstood.  They will show you how, in time, you will become an inspiration, because you choose to live with valour, excitement, and beauty.  The bats’ only question for you now is: What next?!

Others may say you are indeed batty, and this ascendancy has seemed mad even to you at times. The current state has been preceded by a heavy, hurtful climb.  Just  because no one can quite see how you’ve made it to the top does not mean you did not have to climb.  There was no magickal lift, or easy way up – nor did you fly.  But you did follow your instincts, and we, the bats, the ones who can see you in the dark, led you to your current home.  Now you are here, and so many wonders you can see, and so peaceful and fine it feels to be high above it all.  The air is fresh and clean, and you can see just where  you need to go in future.

There will be a time to start the next great journey, but for just a moment, take time and enjoy the wind at your back, the incredible views stretching out before you, and the freeing sense of detachment from the cares and woes of all those who said it could ever be done, that you didn’t have the skills, that you couldn’t climb so high.  You have.

You have done well.  Now take a moment and enjoy the magnificent view and all the wisdom this height can offer you.  See the future directions, see where you made what others call mistakes, and see how those below stay stuck.  And now you need only ask for our help, especially when the darkness falls, and you will find your way to the beginning of another great journey into places that others say it is not possible to go.  It is.  You have shown it to be so.  Now let us take in this glorious view.  

Wow, wow, wow.  What gorgeous guides to help us with the delicious energies of this moment!  So my gorgeous lovely, sending you massive blessings and huge chocolate chip biccies (as everyone needs a nice snack). Remember to be gentle with yourself.  Practise compassion.  Laugh as much as possible and take the time to really step into the delicious warm and welcoming darkness.   Big Hugs and Squeezes!
