Walking the Eclipse Gateway: A Threshold into Balance.

Hello gorgeous soul,

There is so much delicious magickal energy swirling around right now.

We are in the middle of the Eclipse gateway, the Virgo New Moon Eclipse on September 21st and then we have Fall Equinox on the 22nd! Wowzer,

So grab a cuppa, let’s nestle down and have a wee chat shall we?

First, let me ask – How are you doing in the midst of the Eclipse Gateway? Lol

I have had lots of feedback and emails from you ranging from WTF to I finally RELEASED it, but now what?

I have also received multiple questions basically saying:

HELP: Is there going to be a Magickal Mabon book this year? Yes

This year we have the Mabon Magickal Playbook filled with everything to connect you into Fall Equinox and because Equinox is my birthday I am offering it to you 2/3rds off.

HELP are you going to do readings? Yes.

On Equinox I will open 20 spots only with focused seasonal readings for this time, and I will post that invitation next week.

Now back to the Eclipse gateway.

We are in the midst of a Lunar to Solar gateway (and that does make a difference).

When you are walking the Eclipse Gateway between a Lunar Eclipse to a Solar Eclipse, usually there is a theme of release and letting go in order to make space for the new.

Lunar Eclipses have the ability to pull and drag things out of you, almost like the Moon’s gravitational pull helps to draw things out that have been buried deep within.

This “pulling” or “drawing out” energy helps you to release things that are no longer serving you and can bring old thoughts, patterns, and beliefs to the surface in order to be cleared.

As you walk the Eclipse Gateway after a Lunar Eclipse, it is likely you may feel drained and lethargic. You may also feel the need to go within, reflect, and spend time on your own.

Hidden truths and feelings may also come to the surface, and you may have to deal with old wounds that you had pushed away or forgotten about.

Lunar Eclipses always challenge us to dig a little deeper and push a little further so we can create more awareness around our thoughts and habits, and this is something that definitely intensifies as we move through the Gateway.

Lunar Eclipses can also bring endings, and these endings often occur during the Gateway period itself.

As you move closer to the Solar Eclipse, a sense of lightness usually follows, and you may even start to feel space being created in your life.

Ending with a Solar Eclipse indicates that the months ahead are all going to be focused on creating the new and filling this new space in your life with something more positive and aligned.

It also indicates that the months ahead are going to be filled with action and energy, and you are going to be supported to move forward.

Do remember that on the Virgo New Moon Eclipse, this is not the time to set intentions. It’s more a case of letting the dust settle a bit.

Then the next day is Fall Equinox! Frigging love this celebration.

During the equinox, the Sun crosses the equator, effectively moving from the Northern to the Southern Hemisphere.

What’s truly intriguing is that the equinox delivers almost equal portions of day and night.

This balance of light and dark makes it an extraordinary time for magical practices, as it serves as a liminal space where energies are uniquely harmonized.

It’s like the universe is pausing, giving us a chance to recalibrate.

Traditionally, this period heralds the beginning of harvest season, a time celebrated by agricultural societies with various harvest festivals.

In nature, animals take this as their cue to prep for winter, either hoarding food or commencing their migrations to warmer locales.

If you’re into historical landmarks, you might be fascinated to know that Stonehenge aligns precisely with the Sun’s position during both the Autumn and Spring Equinoxes.

During the equinox, its alignment with the Sun is so precise that it defies coincidence.

Our ancestors knew that this wasn’t just a day; it was a gateway, a moment of potent energy that demanded attention and action for the welfare of the community and the individual alike.

Hence why I created the Mabon Magickal Playbook, she is Sassy, Soulful and Spellbinding (her words, not mine lol).

She invites you to step into the golden glow of Autumn and her playful mystical voice will remind you: balance is sexy, gratitude is powerful, release is sacred.

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

Take a glorious deep breath out, let all the stale old air just leave your body and at the end of your exhale hold for the count of 3. Now take a deep breath in and as you fill yourself with this glorious prana energy, invite in the energy of change and release. Let it swirl through your cells and into your heart space.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug or entice you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

ACCOUNTABILITY

When we take responsibility for our choices, we gain integrity and the right relationship with ourselves. Optimally, our decisions are conscious ones made with consideration for the likely consequences for all involved. However, this is not always the case.

In life, we learn as we go. As we become aware of a more beneficial way to handle ourselves, others and life, we do so accordingly. We maximise our chances of this when we remain open to addressing any damage or ill feelings that arise toward ourselves and others.

The refusal to acknowledge our flaws and imperfections that show up in moments of poor discernment and behaviour thwarts our growth and inner harmony.

Life gets easier and infinitely more beautiful and warm, the second we accept that we – like everyone else – are humanly imperfect and that this is perfectly acceptable.

The things we wish we had not done or had approached differently are gifts.

They are necessary for learning how to do things differently going forward. They are also what make us increasingly compassionate and understanding of others and their actions. We are not our mistake but what we do with them. All of our past choices can be used to help us grow into the truth of ourselves.

They help us identify what is aligned with our Spirit Self in the less obvious places.

Accountability is an act of self-love, compassion, and acceptance that benefits all. However, the most important person to be accountable to is yourself.

It can be helpful to develop the habit of checking in with yourself each day by asking: What am I doing and why? Is this aligned with my values and Spirit Self? If so, proceed.

If not, ask yourself: Is there another way, a way that feels good and true for me to continue, or does this behaviour, thinking, situation, or person need to go? Do I need the perspective of someone who knows better and is more experienced in this area?

When you are accountable, you stand empowered, confident, and with integrity.

BROKEN DREAMS

We break our dreams when we cease to believe in them and ourselves.

Our attitude toward disappointment, perceived failures, and rejection has the power to derail our confidence. When a prolonged state of defeat and doubt ensues, we not only give up on our dreams and ourselves but also on what makes us feel alive.

It can be hard, but we need to trust that the way to realise our dreams is by persisting and working with the disappointments as well as any perceived failures or rejections. Perceived setbacks are often opportunities to learn to think differently, to develop further, and to explore new ways of realising our vision.

When we interpret, and therefore turn, challenges into actual setbacks, it can feel like the world has rejected us. In response to this feeling, we give up too soon.

The world does not reject us. It cannot. Of course, it may feel like it does, but what is more likely to have transpired is that certain individuals, organisations, and opportunities have said no to us for one thing at one point in time.

The world is full of many more individuals, organisations and opportunities if we continue to say yes to ourselves.

To abandon your dreams is to abandon yourself. There is no need for this. Explore ways of doing what you love differently. Being flexible with the way that you go about realising your vision will save you from much unnecessary heartache, regret, lost time, and despair.

Do what makes you feel alive in your life.

Never lose sight of what lights you up and makes your Spirit Self sing. No matter what.

CIRCLES

Our thoughts, emotions, behaviours and relationship patterns are potentially detrimentally circular when they remain unconscious.

Without acknowledging that we do not know what we are doing or how to get different results, it seems as though the same disappointments, ruts, and detours keep happening to us. This is because we do not realise our subconscious part in these unwanted reoccurrences. Nor that we have the power to exit the unmerry-go-round.

If we do nothing different, nothing different happens. We will only continue to re-enact our default setting automatically. A life lived in circles inevitably limits what is possible for us.

It can also be particularly harmful when toxic relationships, addiction, or financial dependence is involved. Awareness of how we perpetuate more of the same is necessary before we can consciously create an upward and outward spiral of life for ourselves.

Circles that spiral downward are the effects of unconscious repetition and confusion. In this sense, we are the ones who prohibit us from venturing forth upon new ground. To acknowledge that we do not know what to do about something, we begin to see with increasing clarity, logic, desires and emotions what is confusing and therefore prohibiting us.

Once we can see things for what they are, we can recognise what we can do about them.

There is always more than one way out of any circle. You are ready to be free and go forth.

Focus your attention on who you are without the loops, fears, distractions, and preoccupations.

In other words, focus on who you would be and what you would do without the problems, drama, impossible lifestyle, or comfort zone you may be circling.

You are your white horse, ever equipped to venture forward.

Wowzer! Those are some deliciously potent messages for this month and this New Moon.

Sending you big hugs and squeezes, grab your Mabon Magickal Playbook, keep your eyes peeled for the Equinox reading and remember……

Be kind to yourself, be true to yourself, be honest with yourself.

Pride and Prejudice! Welcome to July.

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Mythical, Moxie, Melodious, Marvellous, Magnetic, Mirthy, Manifesting Monday!

July is here! Do you realise we are half way through the year (and what a year it has been!)

We have Canada Day on July 1st and I am going to go and participate in some of the celebrations, but I will say hanging out with 10,000 people is very short lived for me. Let alone with the heat! So there will be glorious garden time for rest, relax and play.

Then of course the US has July 4th celebrations (which means they get a long weekend!) Lucky buggers.

Here, in the city where I live, we have had Pride month and it culminates with a fantabulous parade next weekend!

I have to say I love Pride month, a time to celebrate the diversity of the human package that we come in. As an ally I honour each person’s right to choose who they are, how they identify and whom they choose to love.

When I was a teen in Oxford, most of my closest friends were people who were a good 15 years older than me, and were gay men. Gosh! I had so much fun, I learned a lot and I always felt safe, loved and appreciated.

There was a lovely chap called Gaz who was an incredible illustrator and would create the most magickal, whimsical imagery for children’s books and he would share the most amazing stories. He was a very special person.

A couple of years ago I helped run a booth, because as a lay chaplain and someone who performs ceremonies, rituals, weddings and funerals it felt important to share that diversity and inclusivity were welcome.

I dressed as a glorious butterfly, thanks to my amazing niece who has a tickle trunk of costumes and odds and bits, and had the most amazing connections and conversations!

This year, I will be helping carry a 50 foot long Pride Flag and dressing as a dark faery, armed with bubble wands galore!

So I will say the people who come out to heckle the parade, or the ones that sabotage some of the pride banners that the city had painted and created on the walkways, really?

I appreciate there are some people who don’t “approve” of diversity, inclusiveness and want everyone to conform to their ideal and opinion.

But in my world – everyone has an opinion, just like an arsehole.

Doesn’t mean I want to hear it, smell it or see it! (Just saying!)

I hope we get to a place and time where we can include and accept everyone, with no regards to colour, gender, identity, religious beliefs and so much more. That would be an amazing healing for the human race and to be honest, our planet.

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the guides and cards to ask who was willing to support and guide this week – there was no choice whatsoever. These guides were adamant they wanted to support.

So if these are new guides to you, please let me introduce you.

Faeries are magical beings who are guardians and protectors of our precious planet. They care for plants, flowers and trees, and us daft humans. They want everyone to experience their ancient wisdom and to feel reconnected to the Earth, our home, and to self.

The faeries are delighted to spiritually support and encourage you on this fantastic journey as you walk upon the faery path. And they remind you – there’s more to life than what you can see with your physical eyes.

Okay sweetie, let’s take a moment to drop in. Take a glorious deep breath out and allow the energy that you have been holding in your lungs to expel. Then take a glorious deep breath in and invite in the energy of inclusivity, what does that feel like for you? Let that energy meld into your heart space and gently open.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

HEALING

Healing can take many forms, even just through listening – when we feel we’re being heard it can make us feel better, so people who have the ability to listen with love and without judgement are already healers.

Sometimes just being in the presence of someone who is receptive to our thoughts and feelings can help us to feel uplifted and healed.

Do you feel you are able and willing to give this healing?

Hands-on healing is a technique many feel drawn to, and perhaps this is something you, too, wish to explore. Are you in need of healing yourself? Is there something that you are pushing through “because it’s expected?”

It’s important to listen to your body, mind and soul and take time out so it can heal naturally. Make sure you’re getting all of the correct vitamins and nutrients. And remember sleep can also be an amazing healer.

Explore healing therapies that may be new to you, such as aromatherapy, flower essences, hands on healing, art therapy, colour therapy – whatever piques your interest.

Believe and trust that you have the capacity to heal yourself and others. Explore and embrace that piece of yourself and allow it to flow.

HOPE

Hope is the key to the door that can lead you away from any predicament you are in.

No matter how hopeless things may seem, if you look deep inside your heart your spiritual heart wisdom will reveal a glimmer of hope, and this can lead you to a brighter future.

This gorgeous faery reminds us to always tap into hope, because looking for hope and joy and changing your beliefs can literally change your future.

As you can see on the card a rainbow and a dove of peace are shown and they often come together reminding us that anything is possible. Sometimes we just need an extra boost, so the faeries fly in on the wings of a dove to let us know that they’re with you with any difficulties you are experiencing.

Remaining hopeful while those around you are full of doubt and negativity can be extra challenging, but remember that hope comes from deep within our hearts and is an excellent habit to cultivate.

Heart wisdom and hope will see you through whatever is going on for you and those around you right now, so have courage and trust as the Faery of Hope walks hand in hand with peace and miracles.

NATURE’S SIGNS

The faeries love to leave hints and clues for us in nature. It’s one of the many creative ways in which they initiate communication with us.

For example, faeries often leave feathers or release floating dandelion seeds to let us know they’re nearby. The appearance of a friendly bird, such as a robin, is another message that they are close by.

Faeries and other creatures often work together as they’re all in harmony with the Earth, whose wisdom can come in many forms. Just allow yourself to be receptive and use your intuition to decipher any signs that you see.

If possible, sit next to a flowing stream and visualise your cares being resolved and any concerns flowing away. Alternatively, imagine your hopes and wishes flowing towards you, looking out for any significant signs from nature as you do so.

You could also leave your own sign for the faeries next time you’re out in nature, letting them know you wish to connect with them. Leaving a tiny wooden fairy door next to a tree is a sure sign to the fey that you’re a faery friend.

The faeries will pick up on your intentions and help to manifest them. If you don’t have access to a stream, it can be just as effective to visualise the process.

Those are some gorgeous delicious messages! How did the card you picked resonate for you? Have a stupendous week, delicious lovely. Remember to breathe and to celebrate your diverse unique self! And most of all have fun! (Life is so much better when we remember to play!) Big hugs and squeezes and bubbles galore!

The Full Flower Moon in Scorpio!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 pm ·

Happy Marvelous, Magickal, Mystical, Maniacal, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

How are you most gorgeous bean? How was your Mother’s Day?

I have to say, mine was exactly what I needed. Garden time, receiving glorious plants from my kids (as they know I love plants), carrot cake, family and playtime!

Okay, today we have the glorious Flower Full Moon in Scorpio!

Its presence in our dark night sky will act as our reminder that all is not what it seems. Life is a mystery, a web that is forever weaving. Perhaps it is only when our time has come to an end that we are able to make sense of our journey and the fullness that it brings.

The Scorpio Full Moon is one of the most magical Full Moons of the year as it beckons us to dive deep. If we dance on the surface, we can struggle with this watery Full Moon, but if we allow ourselves to really settle into our being, to really honor the darkness and the light, we can find this Full Moon enlightening and awakening.

This moon is often referred to as the Flower Moon and its spiritual meaning is rooted in pleasure, laughter, and the wild, open-hearted energy of Spring.

The truth is, May is when Nature shows off. Wildflowers span fields and mountains, and trees are bursting with fragrant blossoms.

Everything seems to be flirting with its flourishing energy.

May’s Flower Moon almost feels alive. Yes, it’s named for flowers, but it’s also what those flowers represent: Life at its fullest.

After all we are in the glorious fiery energy of Beltane with the May energy of Deepening into who we are really here to be.

This full moon phase encourages sensuality, play, and the pleasure of existing in a body that can feel, laugh, and love.

Don’t be afraid to blossom into your best self to reach your highest potential!

May’s Full Moon helps you manifest abundance through fun, not force. It’s not about control; instead, allow everything to blossom when it’s meant to.

At this time ask yourself:- What do you think it means to be wild? How can you enjoy your wild side more often in your day-to-day life?

Then go do it!

So with all of that chuntering (if you have got this far), let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the cards to see who wanted to come and guide this week, it was most interesting.

4 years ago I received a new deck called Crystal Mandala Oracle and I put it on the shelf. Then last week I was told very clearly to consecrate, bless and start working with the guides. So of course I did!

Once I did, Wowzer! Signs all day!

So my darling ones, the guides of the Crystal Mandala Oracle were adamant that they be front and centre this week.

Now, if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce:- “The Earth loves you without condition. She nurtures all life into existence, and that includes you, beloved, from the life that dwells within your body to the life path that will best fulfil your soul destiny.

She provides us with crystals, each one with their own Crystal Angel, to assist us on the journey of becoming all we can be through unconditional love. So with the Crystal Angels of the Earth, and the angels, ascended masters and goddesses that want to assist you in living into the fullness of your divine destiny, to shine your heart light in the world and live your truths with freedom and grace. Welcome dear one.”

Woosah! Perfectly awesome for this moment in time!

The crystals that came to join are the gorgeous ones from the beach!

So my gorgeous one, let’s take a moment and just settle. Settle into your body and breathe yourself into the here and now. And as you breathe I invite you to see in your mind’s eye the energy of Joy, Spring exploding and Deepening into You.

When you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at you, whisper in your ear.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we have a peekie?

GODDESS GAIA & OCEAN JASPER

Good Will

We bring you the empowerment of good will. There is a type of spiritual power you can co-create which benefits and protects you whilst mutually empowering others to take their journey and experience divine success. This spiritual power, known as goodwill, is generated by how you feel inside and the attitude you cultivate towards others. When you know you have value, it is easy to recognise the value in another. When you feel encouraged by the Universe, it is easy to encourage others. As you put out support, encouragement and good will for the success of all beings, this energy is amplified and returned to you.

When you feel peace within, it’s easier to recognise that you have a place in the world and a destiny no person can take away from you. And when you recognise that, it’s easier to know that others also have their own place destined for them alone. This removes fear and competition, and allows you to become an encourager.

An encourager is a person who generates goodwill. They are not afraid of missing out. They believe in their own destiny and operate within a field of abundance. They trust that their rightful divine inheritance will be bestowed upon them. They trust that all people can receive without causing harm or diminishment to any other. They believe in win-win situations and know the only way humanity can evolve is together. So they want others to succeed. They are happy to be at the cosmic traffic lights, so to speak and allow the others who have a green light to go first.

Good will that is cultivated by individuals becomes part of a collective field. It is the psychic equivalent of a group of angels, perhaps with cheerleader pompoms, waiting in the sidelines until someone needs help. Wish each person well.

MELT INTO DIVINE DESIRE

Goddess Pele & Lava Stone

We bring you the empowerment of melting into divine desire. There is a time and a place on the spiritual path for detachment. The ability to step back and perceive from a neutral perspective can bring great clarity. There is a time for the mind to become clear and peaceful and open to divine guidance even if that means temporary loss for greater long-term gains. There is also a time to melt into divine desire, to allow your passion to motivate and inspire you to attain great progress on your divine life journey, where less fervent longing could not. Desire doesn’t have to be a distraction from your divine path. It can be a way you discover what has meaning for you and what you feel strongly enough about to never give up on.

Desire sometimes gets a “bad rap” in spiritual circles, or it is celebrated as being something should be pursued without restraint. The truth that will serve best is more in the middle. Desire need not be a distraction nor a goal to be pursued at any cost, even to your own integrity.

Desire on the spiritual path can become a way to know what is going to move and inspire you enough to see you through the challenges that arise when you want to create a contribution to the world. If you long to bring your ideas to life, rather than keep them only as ideas, then desire can become enlivening fuel for the spiritual path, motivating you to act rather than hesitate.

The more you peel back the layers of the mind, the more pure, simple and clear your divine desire will be. Giving yourself permission to discover and honour your divine desire is what connects you to Pele, the passionate volcanic goddess, radiant with power. If you want to know just how powerful desire can be, think of the power of a volcano erupting.

Imagine being able to channel that raw power into fulfilment of your soul and manifesting your dreams in the world. That is what this blessing of Pele brings you.

ASCENDED MASTER MERLIN & MYSTIC MERLINITE

Read the Energy

We bring you the blessing of reading the energy. We affirm that you have the ability to read energy accurately and we encourage you to apply your gifts. You don’t have to be in control of the inflow of divine information. When a message or insight comes to you naturally, this is best. Simply being open and receptive as you intend to read the energy of the person, place or situation at hand is enough. Whether you have been reading energetically for years or are just beginning your journey in interpreting energetic information, we are here to assist you in becoming confident and trusting in your perceptive abilities.

Your perceptive abilities are a key part of your life purpose and divine life’s work. Developing, relying upon or honouring what you sense energetically is helpful for your life journey (as it assists you in making good choices) and is helpful for others who can benefit from your ability to see what they may not as yet be able to consciously recognise.

When you share your perception from a place of unconditional love, non-judgement and genuine compassion, your reflections can help others gain awareness and insight, which they can then use to empower themselves, overcome fear and move more wholly into love. This is of benefit to all.

Plants don’t need logical understanding to be able to reach for the light. It is an instinct. You have the same natural instinct to be attracted to the light, to what will nurture and nourish you, to the best choices for you. As you learn to get to know your own needs and what suits you (and doesn’t suit you so well), you’ll be increasing your ability to read your own energy in a refined way, as well as learning how to better heal and restore yourself on a regular basis.

Holy Hannah, as have said over and over again. You can’t make this shit up! So delicious one, sending you huge love and light this week. Stay safe, laugh often, find those random moments of Joy and most certainly dance!

There may not be a reading next week as it’s a long weekend and I plan on playing, talking to the flowers and relaxing. Sending you big hugs and blessings!

Welcome to 2025, and Today’s Wolf Moon!

Jenny Heston · 11:11 am ·

Dearest Gentle Reader,

We are slowly, quietly, calmly entering into 2025, and all that it portends!

How are you most delicious lovely? It feels like we haven’t connected for ages, but in reflection it has only been a few weeks! And I will say I spent those couple of weeks facilitating The Omen Days (which is such a glorious way to enter a new year), and all the amazing women who participated really blew my hair back!

Welcome to 2025.

I would love to tell you this will be a gentle year, but it’s going to be intense!

While our numerology points to a year of endings, astrologically, we are shown that all endings pave the way for new beginnings.

As in 2025, we remarkably have four major planets and the lunar nodes changing signs. It is incredibly rare to have so many planets changing signs in one year, so this definitely makes 2025 stand out!

Also, remember we enter the Year of the Snake on January 29th, and if we look at the Snake it is continually shedding the old to make way for the new…..

Thus, instead of spending pages going through the above (as those of you who have signed up for Opening The Doors on 2025 will receive), let’s talk about today’s Full Moon.

Beneath the Full Moon of January 2025, something magical stirs and whispers secrets of old. The Wolf Moon brings a luminous and mysterious energy as it lights up the sky.

January’s Full Moon meaning reminds us of our connection with the wild spirit of wolves.

The Full Wolf Moon occurs on January 13th, 2025, reaching its peak at 5:27 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

January gets its name from Janus, the Roman god of all beginnings.

Janus is often depicted with two faces, one looking to the past and the other to the future. This makes January the perfect month for reflection and fresh starts.

Which is why we are starting Flourish on January 18th!

If you have been sitting on the fence, there are only two spots left and you won’t regret gifting one to yourself!

As the New Year dawns, the world remains cocooned in darkness during these short, fleeting days.

Yet, we’re hopeful as we nestle in our homes during these cozy, chilly nights.

The Wolf Moon is a time for rituals involving inner strength, protection, and connecting with Winter’s wisdom.

There are so many rituals to do at this Moon Time that connect you to your inner strength and Winter’s Wisdom.

A simple one to do is go Howl at the Moon.

In a place where you feel comfortable, stand with your feet apart and your hands on your hips in your best superhero pose (Grey’s Anatomy fans will know what I’m talking about). Studies (like this one from Harvard) have shown that if you maintain this position for five minutes, you will perform better at a difficult task. It also helps build confidence.

However, why stop there? Think of a negative feeling or stressful situation that’s burdened you. Now, while maintaining your superhero pose, give a few big howls. Imagine that worry and negativity leaving your body. In its place is nothing but tranquil energy and peace.

This can be a wonderful way to release tension, anxiety, or heavy emotions. I mean, at minimum, it’s a big mood booster.

I’ve also created some fabulous Journal prompts to help you dig a bit deeper.

Okay, enough chuntering – let’s crack on with the reading. The cards that flew out and at me this week are the amazing Divine Circus Oracle, which made me laugh my soxs off – as with all the energies swirling and the bizarre weather patterns that are happening, the world does feel like that right now.

Now, if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as not to, would be exceptionally rude!)

“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 moments 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. “

Thus, I invite you to breathe and just BE with your gorgeous self here at this moment. Take a few lovely, rich, nourishing breaths and let the cares of the moment slide off like wee little raindrops. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

If you need some help and support releasing the “shoulds”, the weight of energy around you I have a lovely guided visualisation for you. It’s fun, we are going on a yomp and an explore!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s Go See Shall We?

JOKER IS WILD

The Universe has a sense of humour, but never at your expense. It is laughing with you, not at you. You’ll see this for yourself as the Joker weaves her magic in your life, bringing you the grace that is beyond all reason, the necessary ingredient to ensure you win with the hand you have been dealt by life.

There’s nothing impossible when the Joker appears. Her wild ways can transform a losing streak into a lifelong love affair with Lady Luck.

Strap yourself in and prepare for the ride of a lifetime. The Joker has come to you and the Joker is wild. Unpredictable and brilliant, she brings you a message.

You are being empowered to overcome all odds. So you are going to win. No doubts, no dramas, but not necessarily in a way that you expect either!

She is sending the best possible situation to you even now. It might startle you, like a sudden light in the middle of the night, but it will be welcome nonetheless.

The Joker is the highest trump card to beat all others.

No matter how much another may seem to have the upper hand, or how many forces seem to be against you, even if you feel like a lone wolf about to be mauled by a pack of hungry lions, the Joker always wins.

She comes out of the blue, and changes destiny from darkness to light. She brings the brilliant solution that ends a problem, the way through that is best and brightest.

You probably won’t see it coming. It will probably be in a way that subverts everything you once believed to be true.

But it will be a welcome trick by the Universe, a loving joke that opens your heart and helps you realise that this vast impersonal universe personally knows and cares for you, so intimately and with such meticulous care.

Just don’t expect to feel in control of the process, for the Joker is wild and moves according to her own genius, but always blesses you with what will work best, beyond compare, now and always.

RED COUNTESS

Deep within, you know what is true and what to do (or not do). Yet there is so much noise and distraction in the world, and even at times in our own minds, that listening for our inner wisdom can seem like trying to hear gentle birdsong in the midst of a rock concert.

Even so, you are hearing an inner truth, and deep down, you know it. Can you trust that it is safe to not only hear your inner voice but act on it too?

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

Give your truths value. Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense.

Know that they’re worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying.

If you cannot figure out what your inner truths are, or you feel confused by conflicting thoughts and feelings, torn between head and heart, then you are in a state of information overload.

You need to switch off, discharge some excess mental and emotional energy and take a break. Give yourself some time out from the crazy noise and constant distractions of the world so you can get in touch with what is true for you.

SILVER SIREN

When is an enchantment not enchanting? When it is a spell that you allow to consume your free will, even as it promises so much and yet delivers so little.

The Silver Siren sings her song, a pretty poison to the soul. Her false allure tempts the mind, even whilst the heart feels that something is not quite right.

Your power will come from discerning the truth and allowing her false promises no place in your heart.

If you compromise your integrity you will find that what you have obtained was not worth the price you paid for it, no matter how much you believed it would be otherwise. It simply will not be worthwhile.

The Silver Siren is a false light that is so very enticing but so destroying. To disempower the false light, you must stay true to what your heart says.

No matter how much you may fear you’ll regret it later on, simply say no to that which is unworthy, to that which does not hold the truth of love within. Even if a person declares that they are utterly enlightened and only interested in your highest good; even if the opportunity at hand is “too good to miss”, making your mind needy and confused, follow your heart – if it’s not a Hell Yes, it’s a NO!

You are being given an opportunity for empowerment. It is time to trust yourself and stand firm with your truths, and to experience the priceless sense of love, safety, security, peace and self-possession that this brings.

With this, your soul can sing its own song, a song that shares true light, the lightness of a heart that lives in peaceful truth with the world.

Holy Hannah, you can’t make this shit up! What fabulous guides to kick us off in January.

Take time this week to really FEEL into what you want to experience this year, and how you want to ALIGN with it.

Use the Wolf Moon energy to really release and allow you to dream.

Big hugs and squeezes, and if you want to join us for Flourish, there are 2 spots open and we start January 18th.

Entering the Season of Quiet…….And Deepening……

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Mythical, Marvellous, Musing, Manifesting Monday.

Here we are in December! The last month of 2024 (I’m still shaking my head as this year seems to have flown by and a lot has happened).

So welcome to December, the time when all the commercials advise you what to buy, where to go, what you should have and how you should celebrate!

Which I will be honest feels a tad too much, especially with everyone trying to shove a “Black Friday” deal down your throat.

It occurred to me that they really play on that feeling of FOMO (Fear of Missing out).

I actually had a few people email me demanding why wasn’t I doing a Black Friday Sale?????

Mmmmm, how would I put this, I don’t want to. I don’t believe in ramming things down people’s throats or using fear and manipulation to force them to buy now.

Not my thing.

Let alone it is incongruent to what the season is inviting us to do.

Which is turn inwards, reflect, nurture and Deepen.

This is why I personally love this time of year.

The days are getting shorter as we approach Winter Solstice (Yule), yet there is a stillness and a quiet that comes with the early dark.

Our ancestors knew about the importance of the fallow season.

Of letting the land lie fallow, to rest and digest, to compost and recuperate.

I look out over my garden and it is going dormant as winter approaches, but I know that under the surface things are gently incubating.

Now is our chance to look within and enjoy spiritual hibernation, peace and renewal.

The seeds of our future, resting in the rich earth, need this period of stillness, as do we.

This modern holiday seasons can be a hectic time, when the stresses and strains of keeping up with getting everything “done”, keep us locked away from nature and more natural ways of being.

I love to walk at night with the doggos and witness the sparkly lights, like gorgeous stars beaming out in the dark.

They feel soothing and welcoming and remind me that we as animals are part of nature and this is our hibernation, our deepening time.

I believe one of the most important steps as Winter approaches is the process of slowing down, of decluttering, of tying up the loose ends.

It’s about intentionally turning within, reflecting, undergoing some material and emotional decluttering so you can ease into the next phase (or year) with more – well – ease.

And calm.

And inner peace.

And enjoy the pause.

It can be challenging to participate in Cyclical Living in a Capitalist World, to say the least!

It can be challenging to enjoy the pause. As we are conditioned to move on to the next thing as fast as possible.

But there is power, healing and transformation in slowing down and getting comfy in the pause.

Thus, I invite you – if your soul resonates with this feeling.

We will be doing The Omen Days again this year.

Starting with a glorious Solstice gathering.

Last year there were 200 of us who walked this path for 12 days and it was incredible! Deep, Rich and oh so delicious. I will share more about The Omen Days next week.

Also, there will be the Book of Winter Solstice (BOWS), a glorious guide to help you shift out of the hamster wheel and into your being.

And for all of those who have asked, yes there will be a Theme Reading for 2025 (nearer the end of the month).

And last but not least in January we are running Flourish – so that you can step into 2025 in a different way.

So no, I don’t do Black Friday Sales – I do Intentional Work that invites you to go deeper.

On that note, let’s crack on with the reading.

We have some lovely guides this week – The Woodland Creatures and they have some glorious insights for you.

Thus, I invite you to slow it down and take a massive breath out (yes out) through your mouth. As you do, let all the dross, the weight go out with that breath until your lungs are empty. Then take a deep breath in through the nose and allow all the corners of your lungs and belly to swell, inviting in guidance, possibilities, insight and love.

Do this a few more times.

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a wee peek shall we?

THE BAT AND HELLEBORE

Intuition

Bats are guardians of the night, representing dreams, visions, and the subconscious.

They show us how to access our mystical side.

Hellebore is an unusual flower.

Blooming in the winter with downturned sepals, it resembles a cup being poured out – a symbol of emotional candor.

Together, the bat and the hellebore tell us to trust our intuition.

Your instincts can be relied upon.

Curl inward like the hellebore, and as the blind bat trusts its hearing, trust in your intuition to guide you.

If you are willing, ask yourself these questions:

How can I learn to trust my gut?

Do I need to analyse a problem, or is the answer more immediate and instinctual?

THE RACCOON AND SYCAMORE

Curiosity

The Raccoon and Sycamore calls us to explore a thrilling new interest, idea, or opportunity.

Raccoons are intelligent creatures, dexterous and eager.

Often likened to bandits due to the mask-like markings around their eyes, they are quite loveable rascals – rarely seeking to cause harm – they are just curious.

Like the raccoon, the sycamore tree is associated with a desire to learn and know.

In the Bible, a man named Zacchaeus climbs a sycamore tree to get a better view of Jesus as he passes through the town of Jericho.

Jesus rewards the man’s curiosity by visiting his home.

You are well equipped to explore uncharted territories.

Climb high into the tree of your interests, bounding from branch to branch.

Now is an auspicious time to discover new truths about yourself and your abilities, and revel in them!

If you are willing, ask yourself these questions:

What new hobbies or interests do I want to explore?

What makes my soul light up?

What have I wanted to try but been too afraid to?

THE WEASEL AND PINE

Introspection

Weasels can be warriors or spies, moving quickly and often alone.

They make observations from afar and adjust their plans accordingly.

Remember that solitary creatures are nothing to fear, and an introverted nature is nothing to feel ashamed of; knowing oneself and being comfortable alone are desirable skills.

Like the weasel, the pine tree works to be self-sufficient.

One of the fastest growing evergreens, its prickly needles have a waxy coating that helps them retain water, thus ensuring their well being.

You are called to a time of solitude.

The lights are sparkly and there is much to do, but it’s time to take a place that allows for contemplation, reflection and re-evaluation.

Taking that time and going inwards all leads to a deeper self-knowledge which cant be found in distraction.

If you are willing, ask yourself these questions:

When do I like to be alone?

How can I better understand and respect myself?

How do I feel about being alone?

Sending you massive hugs and squeezes. Allow the warm dark to wrap around you and embrace you like a lover. Allow yourself to rest, be quiet and most importantly – nurture yourself. See you next week.
