Divine Support

International Women’s Day, New Moon in Pisces, Creatrix Circle Doors are Open and Equinox bundles are here!

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Magnificent, Majestic, Meaningful, Miraculous, Manifesting Monday! How are you delicious lovely? The Equinox is almost here and I can most certainly feel the energy building and getting ready to bud – I’m so excited, kinda wiggly like a labrador puppy! Even more so because I had 3600lbs of dirt delivered on Friday to create glorious gardens and I have been hauling it one bucket at a time!

We have so much to explore this week! Firstly, Creatrix Circle doors open today until March 21st.

I’m so excited! If you have been feeling a call to dive deeper into yourself and your own magick, whilst being supported by a like minded tribe then Creatrix Circle is for you!

Also, Secondly, thank you for all your interest in if there are going to be Equinox bundles. You betcha! As you know I love, love, love Equinox – that magnificent time when we are in a place of equality and stillness. Where magick is created. The bundles are ready and there is the delicious OMM (Ostara Magickal Manual) for the Northern hemisphere. MMM (Mabon Magickal Manual) for the Southern hemisphere. 30+ pages of ritual, spells and all sorts of goodness to really harness the energy of this switch and to walk with the forces that surround you. Thirdly, we have International Women’s Day and then New Moon in Pisces! Phew!

Girdle up Betty!

So let’s start with today, International Women’s Day! Did you know that the first International Women’s Day occurred in 1911, supported by over one million people? (Think about that, the year alone). Why do we celebrate IWD? We celebrate this global day of recognition to acknowledge and celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women and girls, and to raise awareness of the work left to be done. I love the “theme” for this IWD – Choose to Challenge.

A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day. We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.

From challenge comes change, so let’s all choose to challenge. Thus I invite you to strike the #ChooseToChallenge pose with your hand high stating what you stand for to show your commitment to choose to challenge inequality, call out bias, question stereotypes, and help forge an inclusive world.

This Saturday is the glorious Pisces New Moon. As Forever shares:- This New Moon sends waves of poetry into our cosmic skies. It carries soft, ethereal energy that inspires us to dream, create, and imagine a better reality for ourselves.

The reality we feed is the reality that flourishes, so be sure your thoughts, words, and actions are aligned with all that you desire, particularly under the influence of this March New Moon.

Take a moment to close your eyes and envision a better life for yourself and for the world. Close your eyes and visualize peace radiating through your heart and the heart of every being, both known and unknown.

Buried within each and every one of us are lifetimes of ancestral wisdom. Wisdom of the lives we have led before this one, and the knowledge we have of our true nature and existence.

This is the perfect New Moon to acknowledge this deep, and perhaps forgotten wisdom.

Within, you know the way. Within, you have the answers you seek.

If that feels like a lot to take in, kick your mind out of the way and open your heart, let your heart guide you.

Okay, enough chuntering. When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to support and guide this week I was not surprised to see the glorious Divine Circus Oracle hop up and down (as seriously life feels a tad like a circus right now). Amazing crystals came to join in and the most soft and sweet pussy toe flowers joined right along.

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them. These glorious guides are playful, but deep. They think outside the box and invite you to do the same. If you have never met these glorious guides, please let me introduce you. “What is life if not a Divine Circus? Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us a moment earlier. Life is magical, thrilling, sometimes strange and even scary. It can inspire you and touch your soul, inviting you to discover the unique magic within you, to dare to live it, to express it, to play with possibilities and embrace what sets you apart from the crowd. “

Okay, let’s settle in shall we, it doesn’t have to be for long. But I invite you to get still with yourself. To really just BE for a moment, to let all the cares, worries, to do things just drop away. Just BE. As you slow down your breathing allow the thoughts to scatter off to the side and really invite your wise inner self to speak to you about where you are right now, the energy of Equinox. What do you need to know as we mark this time? What can support you in the coming week? To help there is a lovely guided visualisation where we do some demolition and construction. (No tools required).

Okay, did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

THE PROUD PIERETTE

If you were proud of who you are and everything you have learned in your life, free from shame, guilt or judgement, what would you choose for yourself today? The choices you make for yourself from a place of feeling good are going to be more loving and helpful than anything from a place of self-judgement. You’ve nothing to regret, you’ve learned a lot and you are a beautiful unique being on a wild divine journey. Be kind to yourself. Keep your head up! Then it will be easier to keep growing and glowing.

If you feel that life is getting you down, or you should have, or could have, made different decisions in life – you are doing a great job! You are meant to have learning experiences. What matters is that you choose to learn. And you do! In your own time and your own way, you make sense of things, and you grow wiser and stronger as a person.

If you feel any ridicule, judgement or shaming is coming from those around you – trust you are stronger and wilder and more beautiful and true than any of that mean-spirited fearfulness. Let the mud that is being slung slide right off or remain stuck in the hands of those throwing it your way. Keep your sense of inner dignity intact. Never make yourself smaller to placate the fear in another’s heart. Take pride in who you are. Be proud to be you! And know that this is a way to respect and honour the creative loving power of the universe that created you!

BRILLIANT VIRGIN

In a world where we are bombarded daily with differing opinions and ideas, remaining true to you and your own point of view is nothing short of brilliant. Let go of confusion, distortion, comparison and compromise. You do not need to compare yourself to another or measure up to anyone or anything else. What matters to you and your successful life journey is to be in touch with your own truths. You know what you feel, no matter what anyone else says or believes. Stay true to you!

We have to trust that the inner vision, the hope, the dream within us, is going to be strong enough to stand the rigours of birth, and be able to come to life in the world. Sometimes we have to trust that we are enough, that we have goodness, value and worth, and so are worth the time, effort, patience and commitment required to transform our ideas into realities.

Stay true to you and your course. Do not allow yourself to be swayed by another, no matter how well-meaning their intentions may be or how impressive their arguments may seem. Do not water down the strength of your vision, your dream. You are meant to be birthing something unique into being. The world needs your originality! Pray for courage. Trust yourself.

ROOSTER MAMA

Rooster Mama is her own person. She’s a rebel, a maverick, a renegade – an offbeat individual who dances to her own rhythms. She is the authentic eccentric who doesn’t fall in with the plans other people make for her, but creates her own consciousness with optimism and flair for self expression. She says you are unique, positive and rebellious too.

In a world where we are taught we need permission to do almost anything, it takes guts to decide to give yourself unconditional permission to be unconditionally yourself! When you do, however, an exhilarating sense of freedom, excitement and happiness bubbles up from within.

Permission to be strangely beautiful, weirdly wonderful and divinely eccentric creates charisma, energy and inspired ideas. Your own opinion of yourself becomes more important than the voices of fear that want to control you because they are afraid of the power within you.

You have compassion for that which is enslaved by fear, but you don’t buy into it. Rooster Mama sees this divine defiance in you and how it empowers you to make your own choices, to choose your own consciousness, the power to live your life in whatever way you see fit, whether others understand or not.

It’s time to shake things up, redefine yourself, even if that means letting things get a bit wild in the henhouse for a while. She reminds you to be bold, to be proud and strut your stuff.

Wowzer, fabulous guides for where we are at and what is coming down the pipe! Remember please to be gentle with your gorgeous self. If you want to get a bit more support and don’t feel called to join Creatrix Circle yet, the Equinox bundles will help massively. Sending you huge love and squeezes. Breathe glorious one, breathe. Remember to come from your Heart.

Valentine’s, New Moon in Aquarius and Year of the Ox! Whoot!

Jenny Heston · 1:06 am ·

Hello my darling one! Happy Magestic, Magickal, Merry, Marvelous, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday! How are you? How’s your Mercury retrograde going?

Valentine’s day is approaching and the stores are jammed with heart shaped boxes of choccies, little stuffies holding hearts, cookie roses – you name it. All in the name of Valentine’s Day. Have to say it drives me bonkers! Why do we mark this one day out to celebrate love and why only romantic love? Personally I feel we should celebrate love in all its forms daily.

Let’s be honest Valentine’s Day has now become a Hallmark celebration, thanks to Chaucer in the 14th century. His poem “Parliament of Fowls”, written in the late 14th century describes a group of birds which gather together in the early spring – on ‘seynt valentynes day‘ – to choose their mates for the year.

Hence the hallmark holiday which has turned the day into being all about romantic love which can be tough for people if they have lost someone, choose to be single or just want something different. According to legend, Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge, and he wrote her a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell before his execution. The Feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honour of the Christian martyr, Saint Valentine of Rome, who died on that date in AD 269.

So I’ve perked what I want to do for Valentine’s and how I want to share and spread love to those I know and those I don’t, is what I did last year. Meringues!!! Little wee meringue nests filled with whipped cream and topped with a raspberry and then bundled up and gifted to those I know and those I don’t and those who are living in tents.

Why? Because I believe it is important to remind people that they are loved, seen, valued and important, even people you don’t know that you walk past on the street. So if any of you want to come over and help meringues, please do and if you know how to make tin foil swans – let me know.

On Thursday we have a lovely New Moon in Aquarius and at the time of this New Moon we have a Stellium, which is where the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury all in the sign of Aquarius. Can you say one huge energy field?

The last time we had strong Aquarian energy like this was back in the ’60s and it coincided with the hippie counterculture movement. All the things that this movement stood for- equality, peace, and community, are all very much linked to the energy of Aquarius.

Use this energy to raise your vibration, not just for your own wellbeing, but for the wellbeing of all. This is a time to raise your vibration and use it to send healing love to the entire planet.

Your light is so needed. Your soul is here as a chosen one to bring about the shift of consciousness that is slowly unfolding. The shift is inevitable, it is just your opportunity now to ride the wave. Remember, what you focus on expands, so set your dreams and wishes high and outside the box!!!

Have fun playing in this wonderful energy field and create some New Moon wishes!

Friday brings us Chinese New Year and we enter the Year of the Ox. (I love Chinese New Year and we celebrate it full out with little red envelopes, a glorious feast and all sorts).

Ox can save us from disaster, and help reconstruct because Ox is a builder.

So Ox year is the time to follow through and bring to completion what was started in Rat year. Establish a routine, use tried-and-true methods, and stay with a structure that can bring a bountiful harvest in autumn. Daring new concepts will not be well received. So think back to anything you started last year and work methodically and with discipline on it this year.

So with all that being said – let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share their wisdom and insight with you this week, the glorious “Love Your Inner Goddess” guides came out big and bold. Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to).

“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!

So gorgeous one, breathe. Just breathe, BE and allow yourself to relax, your mind to calm, your breath to slow and ask your wise inner self – what do I need to know this week. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your heartstrings – don’t let your mind pick!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

DARING DREAMER

You don’t need to adjust your dreams to fit in with what others say is realistic, sensible or practical. Why seek to limit the power of the Universe with negative expectations? Be uncompromising with your heart’s wisdom. Listen to what it wants and yearns for and believe that the Universe has put those desires there and will show you every step to take to fulfil them. Do not allow someone else to make you feel like you should change who you are or what your heart truly yearns for – not even a tiny bit, not even for one single second!

Our world needs daring dreamers to redefine beauty, success and worth. We need brave souls to shake up our cultural values so that we stop hurting ourselves and each other. You can decide what it really means to you to be beautiful, successful and worthy. That’s how you take back control, disempowering the toxic definitions created by others.

You have the awareness and the power to say no to what is unkind, untrue, unwise. You get to invite into your life what actually has value to your soul. Be your divine bad-ass self and give voice to your daring dreams. Use your positive words of power to express your most beautiful dreams and never give up on those dreams, yourself or the world.

Your vision of what is possible is the healing medicine for our future world and the way to your bliss.

LIONESS

Your ability to love yourself and be empowered is maturing. You are learning that the real beauty and value of you comes from within. You are learning to rise above emotional game-playing with honesty. You can enjoy your attractiveness as a person without allowing it to control your life or your sense of self-worth. If others try to control your life or opinions about your appearance, or in any other way, you will be strong enough to recognise it as their issue and nothing to do with you. Others will be attracted to your true inner beauty, appreciating your loveliness and enjoying how it helps them feel good about who they are, too.

Your feminine power is grounded in dignity. She stands against beauty being used as a tool of manipulation – to get something, to control someone, to put someone else down and make them feel unworthy. She knows that such behaviour is dishonourable, taking what was once beautiful and distorting it into something ugly and corrupt.

Lioness is the medicine of honour, of beauty that is enjoyed but not exploited. She is the soul medicine of courage. She refuses to be used as a pawn in another’s game; she refuses to play with the minds and emotions of others. Her ways are direct and open. She is confident in who she is, and she is not afraid to be honest. Even if quietly spoken, your truth has the impact of a roar.

With her confidence in your heart, you can live your life in the open without any need to hide. You are the holder of lioness medicine – a brave one, a huntress, and a protector of dignity, justice and truth.

BE THERE FOR YOU

It’s time to let yourself off the hook. Don’t interpret the behaviour of other people or circumstances outside of your control to indicate something negative about you. Forgive yourself for anything that you feel you have done wrong. You can learn from your choices more easily if you stop punishing yourself whenever you feel that you’ve made a mistake. Even the decisions that we regret can help us grow wiser when we swap judgement for compassion. Sometimes, we can only learn what we need to know from what doesn’t work out so well at the time. Forgive yourself. Have your own back. Be good to you.

You have an open, sensitive, beautiful heart. Sometimes the world cannot meet that heart of yours on equal terms. Sometimes the heart of others are just too closed and afraid. That’s OK because it’s part of why you were born – to help heal and open the hearts of the world. You are wise, and you know your purpose is to shine the beauty of your divine heart freely for all to experience. You never have to close down or turn away from that sacred purpose in the world, but you do deserve to be safeguarded and protected. Know that you have your own back.

When fearful, angry people lash out in pain, trying to hurt others because they cannot get past their own hurt, do not make it about you. Your heart knows how to love you and protect you, whilst it has compassion for the suffering that another may be feeling. Remember that you must be there for yourself, nurturing your own heart with plenty of love. Give to yourself just as you give to the world: with kindness and generosity.

Don’t allow anyone or anything make you forget what is real and true – the wisdom and love that fills your own divine heart and helps heal the world.

Woosah! Wonderful guides for this week as we navigate the New Moon, Year of the Ox and Valentine’s Day. Wishing you a glorious week filled with ease, authenticity, kindness and laughter. Allow any “sticky” emotion out, give yourself love and appreciation and remember to be grateful for even the smallest thing. I personally am exceptionally grateful for you and your presence on this earth. Big hugs and squeezes!

Mercury Retrograde. Imbolc is Here! Post Leo Full Moon.

Jenny Heston · 7:41 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Meditative, Mind-Blowing, Meritorious, Musical, Motivational, Mesmerising, Manifesting Monday! (How was that for alliteration?)

How are you delicious lovely? How was the amazing full moon in Leo for you? After a lovely hiatus filled with creating, writing and just cocooning, it’s good to be back.

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

In case you weren’t aware Mercury went retrograde yesterday and will be this way until February 21st. Whoohoo! Now don’t run to the closet, let’s just gently unpack this puppy (so to speak).

Mercury will retrograde in the sign of Aquarius, which is a new energy for us. For the last few years, Mercury has mainly gone retro in water signs. However, throughout 2021 the theme is air signs. Which is interesting as Mercury is ruled by the element of air and earth, so having it retrograde in one of its ruling elements may intensify the experience. So let me share what Tanaaz has to share.

We may feel mentally foggy, confused, or lack the clarity that is needed to make decisions.

Whenever Mercury enters retrograde, especially in an air sign, we have to work a little harder to tame our monkey-mind, and be sure we are not spiraling into a loop of overthinking, or getting trapped in limiting beliefs.

Our task during this Mercury Retrograde season, and the ones to come, will be to acknowledge any mental chatter, observe what needs to be looked at, and learn how to release and let go of the rest.

A prime example was on Saturday over in Creatrix Circle we were having an incredible Imbolc Workshop, yet – for the half hour prior, everything was going to hell in a hand basket. Technology, mind sets, you name it. But come go time – all was good.

So let’s talk about Imbolc!

Okay Imbolc is today!!! 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 occurs 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. Imbolc literally means – in the belly. 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, there are some lovely ones here!

Can you feel the fertility that is approaching?

It’s pulsing everywhere, flowers are starting to push up, leaves are gently welling up into buds, seeds will need to be planted. Thus, imagine yourself like a glorious garden – what do you need to push the dross aside and stretch? To really bloom, expand and grow?

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, I have so many wishes for you this week. May you gift yourself 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!)

Gemini Full Moon Eclipse, Mourning Moon, Hope, Stones and Bones.

Jenny Heston · 12:12 am ·

Happy, Happy, Happy Marvelous, Manifesting, Magnificent, Magickal, Miraculous, Mellow, Magnanimous Monday!

Okay, we have tons to explore this week: Gemini Full Moon Eclipse, Hope, Stones and Bones, Creatrix Circle doors will soon be opening and all sorts of other things! Phew! So grab a cuppa, get cosy and let’s away!

So let me ask, how has your sleep been? I have heard from many of you that you’re either having supremely vivid and rather odd dreams, or not sleeping well. No surprise! Eclipse energy magnifies the energy of the Full Moon and with this moon also called the Mourning Moon there are a lot of emotions and old beliefs burbling to the surface to be released and yes, some of it is grief. Grief pertaining to the changes that are happening in your world and globally, grief of the shorter days, grief about many things.

This moon is also about losing the warmth and sun to the coming dark months. It is a time to finish loose ends and relax. It is a time to count our blessings and be thankful. A time of washing away the baggage of the past and letting it go. Then focus on the joys of the future. During the Mourning Moon phase, you’re being invited to say goodbye to bad habits and toxic relationships, and get a fresh start for the new year.

So then add to it that Eclipse time amplifies the energy of the Moon, and brings to light those subconscious niggles. Even as the longest nights approach, this full moon encourages us to bring our thoughts, feelings, and past out of the darkness — before we bid them farewell.

In Creatrix Circle we had our first ever Full Moon Gathering yesterday and wowzer, it is amazing. Ritual, sharing, exploring and really being willing to dig deep. I was in awe of the amazing women there.

So how are you going to create a ritual for yourself to release whatever needs to leave? How are you going to honour that leaving?

Because the delicious piece here is that as you step into the darkness to release (with yesterday being the first candle of Advent), 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?

But it also reminded me that most of my kids 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.

So over the weekend, I gathered ivy and cedar and made a wreath that sits on my dining room table with the candles of advent, and 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).

Remember Dark and Light go hand in hand.

So before we crack on with the reading, yes the doors to Creatrix Circle will open briefly in about a week or so for 7 days only, thus, if you want to find out when, it’s really easy to hop on the waiting list.

Okay, I have chuntered on for quite a while now (if you’ve managed to read this far), so let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the cards and was just about to ask who wanted to guide this week I was gobsmacked as this glorious deck threw themselves off the shelf and spilled out all over the floor. So please let me introduce you to your gorgeous guides for this week, The Oracle of Shadows and Light.

If you have never met them before, or worked with them:- Wisdom for Misfits, Mystics, Seekers, and Wanderers.Bittersweet..Unheard..Unconventional…Rebellious…Cheeky…

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

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to join in are Lotus Jasper – a glorious crystal for bringing peace and healing and helps unify all aspects of your life. Aqua Aura – for those who want to increase their psychic skills and awareness. Serpentine – an earthing stone and one that opens up new pathways for Kundalini energy. And last but not least Selenite to cleanse and amplify.

Thus with the thought of releasing and filling that space with Hope, acknowledging your connection to the stones and the bones I invite you to close your eyes down and just breathe. For those of you who want to go deeper there is a lovely brief guided visualisation for you to explore Hope. Just breathe, trust and allow this all to swirl. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug.

Did you remember to pick?

Come on then sweetie, let’s go have a look!

ANGEL DE LOS MUERTOS

I bring you a message from a loved one: one whose spirit seems to have already departed, but whose physical presence lingers on for now . I as you now to acknowledge your loved ones who are resting, in spirit, or creating new selves for their souls. You may soon be about to meet a beloved in a new form: I ask you to stay open minded about the form in which the souls can come, and I ask you to be open to the message from the loved ancestors. For they have something to tell you, and it will come to you soon, in a vision, or a dream, or a message during a daydream that will bring such sweet tangible proof of what some people still call life after death.

There is no death. There’s only life and resting and change. Be ready to be comforted and to learn more of the world beyond this world, which is always with you, but is not always believed in, or trusted, even when we send messages to you, as clear as a flag in the sky.

You are not to delay activating this lifetime’s purpose. The message is not just from those who have passed, but of the truth that you can activate your new life now, whilst alive. It is no longer necessary to pass, to re-create the life contract and purpose you have. Do not wish to leave in order to start anew: believe that this life is a constant process of creation and that you are at a point where you can end a pattern, without ending this life. Energy is changing, and death is no longer the greatest reshaper. She comes to visit you now so the fear of mortality passes and so that you understand you can begin to rebirth yourself into a new life, now.

FAIRY OF THE GREEN WORLD

This little green faery signifies and embodies the life force of the green world. She is seen tending to plants that are drooping, too moist, or too dry – she is like a nurse or healer, assigned to the plant realm, great forests and small personal gardens alike. She is joyful every time someone gives energy to this realm – every little bit helps nurture the plants, which are very tired: fewer and fewer plants and trees and forests are expected to provide more and more life-giving oxygen for animals, elements, and we humans! Sometimes she becomes overwhelmed by all we humans have done to the green world – so she may be about to ask for your help. When you give her your help, blessings are returned to you threefold.

The green world is changing, and I am asking for your help. The world needs you to tend the green things in it in some way right now – and it is your time to make a contribution. Time to plant a garden, assist another with theirs, or share some food, flowers, or herbs from your own. Develop your connection to solar energy, find your own water source, and depend less on supermarkets, ATMs and electricity.

Learn to live with her, the soul of the green world. By providing the world with this beautiful example, you are nourishing and nurturing our mother, the Earth, who feels so tired some days! Find a forest, or a grove of trees, or a fairy ring of mushrooms – somewhere that speaks to your soul – and sit with her a while. When she breathes her messages through the leaves and whispers words of wisdom into your ears, you will know the right place and time to devote this sacred donation of time and energy. I thank you in advance. The faeries will be sure to help you in return!

It is a time for growth, for abundance, for the earth element to find its way true and strong in your beautiful life! Join with the natural energies of the planet – and the galaxy!

LANTERN FAIRY

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

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

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

Well that was quite delicious if I do say so myself! I love how this deck reflects shadow and brings it into the light. I invite you to take some time on today (or in the next few days) and do some releasing. And then ask yourself what you hope for. And if you want to hop on the waiting list for Creatrix Circle , please do. Have a fantabulous week, imagine moon flowers opening around you, and keep warm and cosy! Also, thank you for all your wonderful messages and shares. I love them! See you next week.

American Thanksgiving, Embracing All of You, Gemini Lunar Eclipse.

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy Miraculous, Majestic, Musical, Merry, Manifesting, Magickal Monday!

How are you delicious lovely? We have so much to explore this week. The energy of giving Thanks, Celebrating your whole self, Eclipse time and for those who have been asking “When are the doors going to open again for Creatrix Circle?” Hop on over to the waiting list to be kept up to date as the doors will open for one week in December.

For all my wonderful American friends “Happy Thanksgiving!” I have to admit that I find it a tad odd to have Thanksgiving so close to Xmas, but hey I love to celebrate most everything (ask my kids). It could be winter solstice, summer solstice, equinox, Full Moon, New Moon, Chinese New Year, Easter, Valentine’s, the sun is shining, the snow is falling – you name it! Even simple things like the first flowers of spring, or having gorgeous flowers on my desk whilst it is grey and rainy outside. Life is a celebration and quite frankly I chose to celebrate as much as possible.

However, I will be honest at the beginning of the week I had a real heaviness dragging me down and a sense of despondency. It was most peculiar as I’m not normally that type of person. We have had new strictures put in place with regards to Covid and they aren’t as severe as those in other countries, but it certainly didn’t help. So I did a glorious swan dive into the lovely lake of doubt, fear, blaugh. It sooooo wasn’t fun (thank goodness I’m a good swimmer!)

However, with the help of two amazing women I was able to unpack it all and realised that I had abandoned a piece of myself, a piece that was uber feisty, strong and didn’t buy into the bullshit, however, a place of painful stories. SoI sort of stuffed her into the closet and it felt hugely uncomfortable, heavy and not okay. I felt incomplete and that I wasn’t embracing my whole self. But that’s when ritual, reframe, mindset and magick came rushing to the front and slowly I’m sewing that piece back in and it feels incredibly good. We are all glorious composites, dark/light, strong/weak, scared/brave – no piece should be abandoned. Being thankful for all the pieces of us makes us whole and as Brene Brown shares:

“The irony is that we attempt to disown our difficult stories to appear more whole or more acceptable, but our wholeness – even our wholeheartedness – actually depends on the integration of all our experiences, including the falls.”

Thus, I invite you (no matter where you live) to harness the energy of Thanksgiving and really give thanks for all the pieces that make up your most delicious self (yes, even the ones you judge harshly). Give thanks for all the various people, places and things that you are thankful for – they could be present day, past day or future day. List them all in your mind one at a time and as you bring them into your consciousness, smile and blow them a kiss (yes, seriously blow them a kiss). See the kiss leaving your hand and turning into a gorgeous gold butterfly that flies off to that person or part of yourself and gently lands on their right cheek and brushes them softly with your blessing, thanks and appreciation.

Okay, let’s talk about Eclipse time. For those of you who have messaged saying you aren’t sleeping well, you feel fractious, fatigued and fed up. I’m not surprised. We have a Full Moon eclipse on November 30th (Monday). Eclipse time is intense all on it’s own, let alone with the whole de-constructing of an old paradigm piled on top of it.

Now if you remember an eclipse can generate an awareness of something larger, running the show and they poke holes in our ego/identity revealing things within us that we have been avoiding or are totally unaware of.

An eclipse uncovers things. Some we want to see and others we really don’t. Lunar Eclipses are like extra potent Full Moons. They illuminate areas of our lives that need to be cleared and swept away. They shine a light on all that no longer needs to be present with us. They reveal to us where we are holding on too tightly, and where we have to surrender and let go.

Lunar Eclipses are potent because they require us to shed. This shedding can leave us feeling vulnerable, afraid, or uncertain of what is to come. But this Lunar Eclipse holds the promise of a brighter season coming. It reminds us that whatever space is created by its presence will soon become fertile ground, ready to be adorned with new seeds when the timing comes.

Gemini is an air sign, which rules our mind. Our mind has the power to paint the picture we choose to see. Our mind has the power to take events and attach stories to them.

It is these stories that can trip us up more than the events themselves. It is the stories we tell ourselves that create a lot of stress and anguish in our lives.

With all that in mind and giving Thanks for all you are, all the people, places, situations and things that have helped make you who you are at this moment in time. Let’s crack on with the reading.

So my darlings with Thanksgiving approaching and Full Moon Eclipse just around the corner when I went to the cards I grinned a huge grin as the gorgeous guides of The Faery Forest Oracle were adamant to join! I love this deck for the magickal and insightful look at what we need. When you look at the cards, can you see the witch, the blackcat and the elven character? Now if these are new guides for you, please let me introduce them as it would be rude not to!

Note the last line of the introduction – urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be…………. Perfect guides for this time, we are in the space of late Autumn and moving into the dark, the change in seasons, nature and the magick that is there, if you’re willing to see it.

Take a moment to just Breathe and give Thanks. Give thanks for the food you have, the fact you are able to read this, your body, your essence – give thanks for the whole of it, even the squidgy places. Remember the Blow a Kiss from above.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see, shall we?

THE SIGIL KEEPER

When the Sigil Keeper comes to you, there will be no words. Instead, there will be shapes and signs and messages a-flowing, as tough a language of symbols is being shared with you. When she comes, you are being encouraged to participate in this process by creating and shaping your own magickal symbols and beginning to consciously choose the symbolic language that you are creating and connecting with every single day.

You may wish to find a symbol at this time that represents you and the part of the journey you are exploring at present. You may wish to look around your home and see what “hidden” symbols have worked their way into your life, and you may wish to rearrange these, remove some, replace others with symbols that are consciously chosen to be of greatest magickal support to you at this time.

Look at your clothing, what you wear, and see the symbolic nature of this, and go through your jewellery and consider carefully the energy of its symbols and whether you wish to connect with this

Sigil work is simple but ever so powerful, and this amazing being is a reminder to work with intelligence, and to exercise your choice at all times. You must choose carefully now what symbols you keep about you – for they have shaped you more than you have ever truly considered.

THE SOLITARY

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

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

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

SHE WHO LAUGHS

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oh wow, positively perfect for this time. (Seriously, you can’t make this shit up!) So gorgeous one, sending you huge love, ease and thanks. I am thankful for you exactly as you are – perfectly imperfect, which is the best way to be. Be kind to yourself, and remember if you want to find out when Creatrix Circle is next opening hop on the waiting list. Big hugs and squeezes.

Divine Support

Take a moment to close your eyes and envision a better life for yourself and for the world. Close your eyes and visualize peace radiating through your heart and the heart of every being, both known and unknown.

Within, you know the way. Within, you have the answers you seek.

Use this energy to raise your vibration, not just for your own wellbeing, but for the wellbeing of all. This is a time to raise your vibration and use it to send healing love to the entire planet.

Have fun playing in this wonderful energy field and create some New Moon wishes!

Ox can save us from disaster, and help reconstruct because Ox is a builder.

We may feel mentally foggy, confused, or lack the clarity that is needed to make decisions.

Happy, Happy, Happy Marvelous, Manifesting, Magnificent, Magickal, Miraculous, Mellow, Magnanimous Monday!
