Love is in the Air, a Self Love Candle Ritual, and How to Make the Goddess Laugh!

· ·

Happy Merry, Magickal, Miraculous, Magnetic, Manifesting, Moony Monday!

How was your New Moon and Chinese New Year?  How does it feel to be in the year of The Wood Dragon (this is a pretty frigging amazing year if you are willing to embrace it.)

As you know, I love celebrations so of course we had a lovely Chinese New Year gathering filled with awesome food, red envelopes and games!  It was delicious.  

So do you ever think “Oh fuck!”, and realise you have made the Goddess laugh her soxs off, but if you breathe into that space it’s so much better than you had planned? 

I had a huge one of those on this glorious Aquarius New Moon (and don’t get me wrong I love it when I make the Goddess laugh, well actually not when it is happening, but hindsight yes!)

So as you know Lisa Wolfe and I are doing an amazing collaboration that we were going to call The Numinous Circle, yes?  The doors would open for applications and conversations on Chinese New Year and all the rest of it.  

Well, then there was the Goddess laughing!  Yup.  I mean seriously frigging laughing!!!

She came roaring in and changed the name, the time frame, the structure and asked us both if we would like to pour even more into it (appreciating we had already), but wowzer – we have. 

The container of The Numinous Collective is so rich, so full and I’m still reeling from it all.  Thus, if you want to be on the email list for when the doors and applications open please do!

This week a huge part of the culture will celebrate Valentine’s Day (a deliciously made up Hallmark celebration),  where apparently for one day a year we celebrate romantic love (you really don’t want to hear my thoughts on this at all lol).  

I don’t know about where you live, but here all the stores (even the grocery ones) are filled to the brim with chocolates, roses, orchids and smelly cheeses!  Apparently, if you are in love these are the food groups you should eat and the objects that you should surround yourself with!  Lol.  

But what if your Love Language isn’t about gifts and objects?  What if your Love Language is about acts of service, time spent together, having a fabulous hug or snuggle?  How does a box of choccies and a bunch of commercial roses fill those needs?

I will be honest, for myself I much prefer, instead of a bunch of flowers, give me some bags of dirt, some plants and then let me play!  Or better yet, clean my windows and make me a cuppa tea, or cook me a nice dinner!  

Personally I find Valentine’s Day irritates me, not because I don’t believe in love, but why on earth do we need just one day where we are meant to be loving, and why is it only focused on romantic love?  

What if you aren’t in a romantic relationship?  What if you’ve lost your partner?  I mean for criminies sake, why aren’t we celebrating all forms of love – family, friends, community, nature, spiritual and most importantly self love?  

Because, let’s be honest – without self love and appreciation for your own gorgeous being, you don’t have anything!  (And NO self love is NOT selfish!) 

Had to clear that up as one of my clients a while ago said that they felt selfish taking time for themselves and doing something nurturing. 

Self-love is all about nourishing your mind, spirituality, and physical body. Try to aim at all three of these to create a more well-rounded self-care plan. Focus on activities you get excited about doing. This is all about you after all, if it doesn’t give you a little thrill, why bother? 

Here’s a lovely, easy candle ritual for self love for you to do. 

So what are you going to do for yourself this week, to acknowledge how special and wonderful you are?

I know what I am going to do, most certainly.  

Okay, I have chuntered on enough.  When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide this week I was delighted to see that the Wild Kuan Yin Oracle were adamant!  (And I mean adamant).  If these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them:

Within you beats a wild and compassionate heart, alive with fierce optimism.  Your heart knows that love has the power to conquer fear.  You have the courage to walk a path of transformation.  You are not afraid to shed old skins to become more of your divine self.  

You dream of living your highest destiny with fearlessness and joy.  You are one of the wild ones.  You will not be tamed by convention.  You will not be censored by the fears of others.  You are not afraid to be different.  You are not afraid to be open to life, to take risks for what you love, and most of all, to keep hope in your heart.   

When the loving peace of Spirit seems too far away from the troubles of the physical world the Divine Mother will hold your hands, close to your heart, or rest gently on your forehead.  She will bring you comfort.  

She’ll remind you of your fire, your boldness, your unique beauty, your passion, your courage.  She’ll guide you through even the darkest loss into the blessing of new life.  

Fabulous!  

Okay dear heart, just settle into yourself.  Allow your breath to find its natural rhythm.  Just breathe into all the corners of your glorious being, and allow in your mind’s eye a glorious vortex to start swirling. 

As it opens, see it filled with love, all sorts of love and allow it to soothe you and to remind you that you are love incarnate.  Then when you’re ready pick the card or cards that dance around your heart.  

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

BLESSING TO BEGIN

You are being given a divine “leg up”, a blessing to begin.  The Divine is going to help you launch something important – an idea, a seedling of hope, a new start.  

It may feel as though something is being handed to you, as though the Divine is offering you some sacred help.  Don’t fall  into the trap of believing that because it is easy in the beginning it is not worthwhile or important.  It is!!!

Sometimes we get an infusion of divine energy into a start-up to get it going because the Divine knows how important it is and wants to give us a helping hand.  

Accept the help and opportunity that so easily comes your way now, but also remember that you are being given help because there is something of great worth here.  

If you are asking about being ready to start something, be that a project or even a new relationship, an expansion in your family or a new training program, this is your affirmation and validation from higher guidance.  

Whatever stage you are at in the manifestation of your dreams, be it the earliest glimmer of a vision or one that you have invested decades of your life to and on which you are far along the path, the gift of the Mother is bestowed upon you – her red poppy of success.  

Take a step.  You have been thinking about it.  Do it.  

It may be an actual journey or a new class, a new habit or speaking the truth to others about something meaningful to you.  Or it may be an opportunity that is about to sweep in unexpectedly.  

The Divine will protect and assist you and in taking a step, you open up avenues for the universe to bless you with all manner of resources and assistance.  The assurance and blessing of the Divine Mother empowers your own soul to take even the most apparently impossible or intimidating of prospects and turn them into accomplishments whilst growing in self-confidence and self-mastery.

So believe in yourself.  The Divine Mother does.

GRANDMOTHER DRAGONFLY HOLDS THE WISDOM

Sometimes there is benefit in focusing on the new, seeking out untried paths, developing untapped resources and exploring possibilities.  The intoxication of hope, inspiration and optimism combined can be hard to resist.  

However, if fear, boredom or lack of commitment is beneath the quest for new adventures, if we are believing that what we need or want is always just beyond the next horizon, or that somehow the grass is greener in the next field rather than where we stand, we may be dissuaded from applying ourselves to the worthwhile tasks before us right now. 

If we are an imaginative and visionary type of personality, we may rebel against the mundane tasks of applying ourselves daily to bring an idea to life.  We may become seduced by the constant thrill of coming up with new ideas, entranced with the promise of something new.

However, if we were to stop and look clearly at what we already have in our lives, we could realise that there is much of value waiting to be put to use.

The sunflower holds wisdom medicine for humanity.  

Growing from seed, it sprouts tall with a firm stalk and flexible head that follows the arc of the sun across the daytime sky.  At the end of its life cycle, as the head withers and the plant faces the earth, its vibrant yellow petals collapse, turn brown, releasing its seeds.  These seeds hold the life force of the plant, distilled.  

Highly nutritious and supportive of life for future plants and even for human beings, the sunflower’s seeds allow for life to continue to expand and flourish on earth.  

Do not step away from what you are cultivating, even if it seems to have lost its steam, run out of energy or be utterly dead in the water!  There is something within what you have been working on that is going to yield something of great benefit.  

There will be much more success, prosperity, happiness and maturing of your ultimate life goals and journey in tending to what is already further along in development than in something new.  

Grandmother Dragonfly offers you vision that is wide and unlimited by preconceptions.  

You may need to look differently at what you have nurtured and how to tap into what it has become to be able to share it with others and allow its sustaining grace to nourish human life in its own way. You will help people in many and varied ways.  It is all a part of your  natural development and you can trust in it.  

There is no need for you to ever be impatient or doubting of this.

SHE TAMES BY LAYING DOWN THE STAFF AND ROPE

My ways prevail.  I subjugate the lower to the higher without any force.  

Through my ways, correct alignment to the higher divine order is established. 

My authority is supreme, yet I’ve no need to enforce it.  Devotion to me is absolute, yet I bestow freedom.  I show you now , the whispering way to tame great force.  I initiate you into the way of strength without coercion, the way of attraction without demand.  

Follow me and learn the art of feminine power; that fear shall always succumb to love.

There is something that you want to attain.  A situation exists that you would like to change. 

It may be something in your way of thinking or being, or a habit of your body or mind.  It may be a pattern within your emotional world, or an actual physical situation or obstacle you wish to change. 

Perhaps you want it transformed completely, or perhaps you simply want some of the rough edges smoothed.  

No matter whether it is a small or large change that is desired, you have been attempting to bring it about through exertion of your will.  Now there is a time and place for such approaches. The strength of the human will should never be underestimated.   

Yet there is another way, a gentler and more peaceful way, that will evoke little resistance within you and help you attract what you want rather than to have to carve it out of your own blood, sweat and tears.  This is the taming power, the magnetic lure of attraction that can tame even beyond the capacity of will.  

The way of gentleness takes great strength of will.  But it is will that redirects the pushing, striving mind rather than the action of willpower that seeks to mould the physical world or control the people in your life, to have them act as you wish. 

It is a way that attracts the devotion of others, and draws to you the aid and support you need, yet you are not required to grasp for such generosity.  

You must be willing to become empty in order to be filled.  

You must be willing to accept the very thing you wish to be transformed.  You must be willing to become flexible in order to stay true on the path.  You must be willing to become childlike in order to be wise.  It is in embracing what is that empowers you to transform it.  

You can, of course, choose the other way; to pursue, push and direct.  However, you will find it an uphill battle all the way and it will only get you so far.  This way holds more finesse, attains a greater result and will lead you further along your spiritual path as you learn that the opposites are only an appearance of reality, not reality itself.  

You can then manifest through invitation what is offered from the heart space.  There is no control here; and yet, you will seem to command an army whilst ever your heart is pure and remains true to peace.  

What you want is possible. Striving will create friction where surrender and invitation through love will create affinity with the goal.  

Woosah!  Those were glorious messages for the week!  So gorgeous one, sending you big love, squeezes, warm cups of tea and a soothed soul.  May your heart be full and your spirit light!  Try out the candle ritual and remember – You are loved, you are worthy and you are amazing!

And if you want to keep up with when The Numinous Collective is available, add yourself, we would love to journey with you!

Imbolc, The Gentle Awakening and a Gift for You!

· ·

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

How are you gorgeous one?  How are you feeling? 

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

This can create a most peculiar feeling for those of us who are “doers”.  As part of us is itching to do, take action, follow the programming, and the other part is still in the reflective, integrative state.  

So let’s explore the energies of this mid winter time, Imbolc. 

I have a glorious gift to support you at this time.  If you read on, you will understand why I created her for you.  

Imbolc is on Thursday and marks the spot of mid-winter.  

The mid place between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.  This time of year can feel rather heavy, grey and drab in many ways, but………

Imbolc marks the very first stirrings of new life.  It is a time of bitter weather and biting winds.  The days may have been growing longer since the Winter Solstice but it often seems like winter is now at its harshest.

The long cold nights of January often weary the spirits and fierce storms are common in February.  Yet look closely and glimmers of change can be found in the new buds on the trees and the green shoots of early spring flowers breaking through the frozen earth.  

Imbolc brings in the delicious energy which invites you to gently awaken and start planning your new seeds for the year.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At Imbolc, we’re beginning to really realise, something is shifting in our lives. 

Imbolc itself means “quickening in the belly”.  There is something shifting and changing.  

We are beginning to root a bit more into this year of 2024 with its delicious 8 energy and we are expanding in some way. (Whether you can see it or not – can’t you feel it, though?) And there is a lot of resistance that comes with big expansion.

There’s a whole lot of forces (internal and external) that want to keep you small. It’s scary to level up in your life – and there are really strong parts of us that don’t like that.

But this is the work of winter: Winter is where you integrate all your experiences from last year & it alchemizes into new life, new growth, new parts of you that will emerge in the weeks & months ahead.

Right now there’s a stretching & growing happening deep within you. (Even if you can’t see it, it’s there!) And that can be deeply uncomfortable. Depending on the shifts you’re making in your life, the resistance can be intense.

And it creates a conflict within you. This is where the question arises: do you have the strength & the courage to push through that resistance, to whatever’s on the other side? Or do you give in & lean back on old ways of operating?

This is the challenge and invitation at Imbolc.

If things feel hard for you right now, trust it’s because you are EXPANDING. You’re doing big work in your life (even if you can’t see it, yet) and you’re going to feel resistance to that.

At Imbolc, this is when the seeds of your life are created and planted….

So remember to take sweet, gentle care of yourself right now. Nurture yourself, nourish your spirit. And REST, sweet one. Just rest. We are still in winter. This is your most important work.

So to help you with your work I have a gift for you!

This is the Fabulous Imbolc guide, which I nicknamed Fi after my glorious big sister who hated winter!  I mean, HATED winter with a passion! 

She suffered from SAD and Depression and come December she would tank.  Her energy would drop, her mindset would go dark and there were some days that getting out of bed was a struggle.  

Yet ever so slowly, as the snowdrops would come and the days would start getting a bit longer, she would Awaken.  And it was a slow awakening.  Her energy would perk up and she could feel the growth stirring underground, the change and the hope.  

This gift is by donation, with the funds going to mental health awareness, as too often we look at someone’s smile and don’t understand the struggle they are working with.  Yes?

Imbolc Blessings to you gorgeous one.  

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

Okay, enough chuntering!

With Imbolc 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!  Now if these are new guides for you, please let me introduce them as it would be 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.”

I have created a guided visualisation for you to really see this energy that is flooding in you, around you, towards you and through you.  If that doesn’t resonate then just Breathe.  Breathe into your toe nails, breathe into the roots of your hair, breathe in all the promises, the blessings and opportunities and sigh your exhale out, letting go of anything that feels a tad sticky or tacky.

When you are ready, invite your inner wise knowing to pick the card or cards that call to you.  

What whispers for you, what do you need to be aware of?

Did you remember to pick?

Take a breath and let’s go have a look!

THE TRICKSTER

Let me be a reminder to be true to yourself, to your own personal truths, to the code within your soul.  Truly, at this time it is essential for you to let your conscience be your guide, and to live according to your own creed, with open eyes. 

Do not fool yourself into believing another person’s vision and ideas are more important than your own – question agendas, and be aware of people’s history. 

For at this time, there is one about you who is attempting to persuade you to their cause, to join them in what they see is a great task, but which in truth is simply a harnessing of your power to their agenda, which is not for your highest good.

All tricksters are charming and know exactly what to say to persuade you – but this is mere language.  Their deeds will not match their words, and what you are agreeing to by joining with them will be a loss of your own personal dreams for the furthering of theirs. 

If you allow yourself to be coerced, cajoled, and manipulated at this time, it will weigh heavily on your very soul.  

Be more wary than is natural for you at this time.  Do not betray yourself, or ignore the warning signs, which are all about you.  Do not foolishly give away your power, but exercise it, and weave a future that is truly the one you wish to create – one, which will provide you with honour, plenty, and the satisfaction of having been true to yourself. 

FAERY GODMOTHER

When the Faery Godmother comes to you, be aware that this is a time when you will discover what has been long hidden to you – your true self will be revealed in surprising ways every day, and sudden moments of heightened perception will make this time especially significant for you.

People finally get found out, manipulators can be seen through, true costs of circumstances are revealed, and any lies about you will be seen. 

This can be hard, but it is truly a hardship that is born of protection – you are safer for knowing in whom you can trust in order to make the right choices for your soul.

Throughout these revelations and insights will be a guiding hand – and this is the Faery Godmother.  She is showing you what it is you need to know in order to create and foster a life that works for you – and she is a protective force too.

So what you need will come to you, sometimes in strange ways.  Be mindful of counting your blessings at this time – for this is the energy your Faery Godmother can draw upon to keep transforming your life into one which is more abundant, magickal, meaningful, and joyful.  

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

INITIATE

Your energy is unworldly, naive and unguarded – and you will therefore soon face tests which will help you acquire experience and wisdom.  You have an inclination to take risks without thinking of where the road you wish to dart down will lead you, you have a tendency to say and do many things without thinking through the possible impact.  

You speak the uncomfortable truth as no other can.  

The lessons you are experiencing are filling your life with richness – you have so much trust and self-belief, but you are not prideful.

You are ready to take great chances, and others may even judge you as being about to take crazy risks.  You may be contemplating leaving a safe job, about to travel, enter a new relationship wholeheartedly, or make a move in life without having examined all the consequences.

You are curious, enquiring, and open hearted.

You are inquisitive, but you are no fool.  You are an initiate, and you will therefore take risks as you face the unknown.

Your next steps into the mystery of life will be blessed, and you have the courage to now enter the unknown.  

Hmmm, breathe in, breathe out.  I don’t know about you but the guides picked these to help remember the light that surrounds you and is encouraging you to streeeeettttchh and grow, like the sprout coming from the glorious seed.  Awaken gorgeous one.  And if you feel inclined grab a copy of FI.

Keep cosy, laugh tons and make soup! (Always a good thing).  Huge hugs and squeezes and see you next week.  

Last reading of the Year. Solstice is Here! And Gifts!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Marvellous, Magnificent, Majestic, Merry, Manic, Manifesting Monday!

Hello delicious lovely!  How are you?  I am sooooo looking forward to Solstice and I have three Solstice gifts for you! (Which you will discover as you read.)

I want to wish you an amazing holiday season – however you celebrate, and to say thank you.  Thank you for being here, thank you for all your lovely emails and messages.  Thank you for being you and sharing with me.  

Solstice arrives on Thursday  the 21st and I am thrilled, as not only is it Solstice, it’s my youngest’s birthday!

But what does the energy of Solstice bring to you?

At the Winter Solstice, when the world appears to stand still, it can serve as a moment out of time, an opportunity to reconnect with our own souls once again.

There’s a very special stillness about the season we are entering. Even though everything appears dead & frozen in the outside world, a new cycle is beginning. You can sense there is magic brewing deep down in the dark.

Winter is like being in the chrysalis stage in the evolution of the butterfly. It’s the time when the caterpillar is wrapped up quietly, in the dark of her cocoon. To the outside world it doesn’t look like anything is happening. (And this is one of the most challenging things about embracing rest: to the outside world it doesn’t look like anything is happening. Our brains scream at us, telling us “you’re not doing anything. You’re wasting your time.”) 

But actually, deep in the dark, a quiet transformation is happening: the caterpillar is evolving into a magnificent butterfly.

This is the same transformation your spirit, and all of nature, is undergoing this season. To the outside world life is still & quiet, there’s no movement. You don’t see anything meaningful happening.

But in the darkness, hidden deep inside, a powerful transformation is occurring. You are evolving into a whole new place in your life.  

It’s a time of dreaming.

Dreaming up the dreams of everything that will grow in your life this year.

Dreaming up new plans, new ideas, new ways of being that will blossom & grow, and become bountiful harvests in the year ahead.

The dreams of everything to come this year are being sparked in your winter’s rest.

Winter is the season when things are revealed by turning deep within yourself.

Embracing the quiet & the darkness – recognizing that you don’t need to do anything for the magic to unfold. 

This is the season of receiving.

Are you willing to receive?  

The first gift I have for you is the delightful story of the Yuletide Faeries, a wonderful story to read as an adult, share with children or grandchildren.  

The second gift I have for you is a 20 minute guided visualisation called Winter Solstice – Heart Weaving.    This lovely guided visualisation walks you into the warm dark, and you are going to meet some amazing guides and allies.  Come dance with archetypes, myth, healing and shamanic transformation.  And weave something new.

The third gift I have for you is the lovely process of The Omen Days!  

And for those who have asked how long “Opening the Doors on 2024 Reading” will be available, it will be available until December 26th, as will The Book of Winter Solstice.

Let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to share this week I thought to myself – perfect!   These glorious guides have only come out once in public, so this is quite delicious, and I love how they decided there were going to be 4 to choose from!

So my darling one,  just settle.  Breathe in the stillness and allow your heart to open and expand and be willing to receive.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug on your soul strings.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

SISTERHOOD OF RECIPROCITY

Tend to your partnerships.  

This could be a time to review or negotiate business, renew romance or friendship, or nurture the very partnership you have with your own soul.  

Much of our world suffers from a lack of understanding what our ancestors knew so well: all life is dependent on the generosity of our planet.  There is no thriving without her good graces for food, water, shelter and beauty, and we’d do well to remember it with reciprocity.

Is it time to share?  Celebrate her bounty?  Give back to her resources?  To your relationships or communities?

Long ago we honoured the lack of resources in the winter season with hopeful light-giving ceremonies.  We celebrated the harvest with offerings and gratitude.  We marked each season, each birth, death and love affair by honouring our Earth Mother as benefactress.

Carry this practice forward, know that all parts of your life are interdependent with the elements, creatures and plants of the earth, the same way that your healthy psyche relies on all parts working together.  

Balance your genius with  your shadow.  Reconcile love with fear.  Strike a balance between logic and emotion.  

All parts of your life that you are proud of must dance with those monstrous parts you fear in order to experience a bountiful, creative life.

Take stock of where you are entwined in a healthy partnership, and where you are not.  

This is a time for tending the dance of reciprocity.  

W.I.T.C.H (Women in Total Control of Herself)

Control. 

No woman alive today needs a dictionary to know what control means within a toxic patriarchy.  

She’s experienced it a thousand different ways before she’s hit puberty.  

It’s alive in the curves of her psyche, in the expanse of her hips, in the marrow of her bones.  

It is domination and restraint.

But in a balanced psyche and in a blanched culture, control can mean something else entirely.

A W.I.T.C.H experiences control through cooperation rather than competition.

She’s engaged with all the parts of her psyche in an attempt to coordinate rather than dominate.

You are being asked, right now, to embrace all the inhabitants of your inner realm, because each deserves respect and a place at the table.  Even the unruly, the inconvenient, the ugly.  

Making a space for all under the banner of wild inclusion and giving voice to the shame, malice and anger, as well as every other outlawed part of the psyche, is the way we create integrity, ensuring that no part of our inner realm is involved with factions, divisions, or rebellions.

When your intent is to create rather than compete, you don’t have to dominate.  Your influence is enough.

This is power-with rather than power-over.

Invite whatever is bothering you today into the realm of inclusion and assert your authority.  

THE TRAIL BLAZER

This is a pioneering moment.

In order to chart where you’re going and empower the path making, you must know your place.

Only when you know your deservedness and embody  your inherent value can you move with the confidence and radiance required to create your own path.

It’s time to shift your allegiance from pleasing to pleasure, from subservient to subversive, though the very act of claiming your inner knowing as the highest authority.  

You will then be willing to abandon everyone else’s expectation and approval before you will abandon yourself.  

Stop fearing your path and start blazing it, loyal to the visions in your head and the longing of your heart.  Trust your intuition to guide you to the next right thing for you, even when you can’t see the entire path or explain it to a mind of logic.

Stop looking for the footprints of those who have gone before you.

Don’t settle for how it’s been for others.

Blaze your own trail.  

SIREN OF SURRENDER

This is a time to let go.

Although underappreciated, there is power in surrender.

A wise sage once advised, “What we resist persists.”

While you may not yet see a new way to go, the old way is closed.  Stop banging your head and hands on the door that refuses to open.  If it doesn’t open, it’s not your door.

This is a moment to acknowledge what isn’t working, and what alternatives are not yet clear, and surrender to that wide open field of unknowing.

Understand that there will be times when further action is wasted.  

Exerting more effort is futile, as it’s only bringing frustration and discouragement.

Know that while society would encourage you to keep pushing, applauding you as you battle and bruise your way through this path, this is a patriarchal paradigm whose time has ended.

Instead, embrace the flow, trust when it leads you to a dead end that there is another way, and it will open when it’s ready.

The days of white-knuckle resilience are over.

Everything is happening for you, not to you, so let go of your original expectation and let yourself experience the generosity of flow.  

Ahhh, my heart is filled with joy as I see the cards my guides picked.  Wishing you an amazing holiday season.  Please help yourself to the free gifts and pick an Opening the Doors on 2024.  I am going to spend time being like a caterpillar in a cocoon and relax, rest, read and play.  See you in January.  Big hugs and big love.  Thank you.

May you be blessed,

May you be happy,

May you be peaceful,

May you be healthy,

May you be safe,

May you awaken to the light of your true nature.

Last New Moon of 2023, Solstice, Omen Days and Mercury Retrograde! Huzzah!

· ·

Happy Mellow, Mothering, Meditative, Mindful, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Okay, grab a large cuppa of something warm and magickal, as we have so much to chat about this week!  Are you ready?  You settled and cosy?  

Let’s see, we have the last New Moon of 2023 on the 12th, (Mercury goes retrograde on that day as well).  Notice I put that in brackets so that you didn’t freak as it is contained, lol! 

We have Solstice (which I frigging love) rapidly approaching. 

The glorious Omen Days course (which I hope you will join – it’s a game changer to putting the year to bed and creating something for 2024).

And Personal Theme readings!

So where should we start?

Personally, I am going to start with Omen Days, aka the Sacred Days and Yuletide. These are the glorious days that happen from Boxing Day to January 6th (do you see why we have the song “12 Days of Xmas?”- hijacked from the Omen Days.)

These are days that are reckoned with at the end of the year to catch the Roman calendar up with the Solar Calendar.

As such these days between December 26th and January 6th are considered to be time out of time.  Almost like you’ve slipped the bounds of the normal calendar.  And you’re in an in-between space.  A liminal space.  

Interestingly in our culture the same is true.  That period between Xmas and the first days of the New Year tends to be a very amorphous time; a time when you very much feel like you’re in transition or in limbo.

This is where the magic gets created for 2024.  

This is a different way of closing the year …

The Omen days are a beautiful opportunity for you to process, release and close the old year, and subsequently open yourself to something new – but in a more feminine-mystical way. 

This a welcome and soothing counterpart to society’s more Yang-oriented obsession on progress and moving forward.  

THIS IS NOT A THING TO ADD TO YOUR TO-DO LIST, THIS IS A BE! NOURISH! 

And as I mentioned – I have created a glorious course with all sorts of yumminess that will have you ditching your “New Year’s Resolutions” with abandonment.  And best of all it is my Solstice gift to you!  (Yes, that does mean free.)  

I would love for  you to experience a different way of putting 2023 to bed and envisioning 2024.  One that you can feel in your bones, and cells.  That calls to your ancient memories.  

So why am I bringing that up first?

Because the New Moon in Sagittarius that happens on the 12th of the 12th,  invites us to line up our arrow, take our aim, and then trust in the wind! Life is a ride, there is only so much we can control. So perhaps overall, that is the message this New Moon has for us.

Set your intentions, focus on healing, acknowledge your intuition, move slowly, but ultimately, trust the ride!

1212 reminds us of completion, wholeness, and greater wisdom.

So with Mercury retrograde happening on the same day (isn’t that fun?) “You do need to keep in mind the deeper levels, it is a powerful time for trusting our intuition and paying attention to our senses beyond the typical five.

Mercury Retrograde, happening on the same day as the New Moon, will heighten its energy and thin the veil. We may feel a little indecisive or confused, or instinctively feel that all the facts have not been presented to us.

When Mercury Retrograde is involved, moving slowly and methodically and trusting our intuition is important. With the veil thin, we have the potential to receive clearer guidance from our dreams, intuition, and higher self.”

Okay, now do you see how all the pieces – Omen Days, New Moon, Mercury Retrograde and Personal Theme Readings tie in?

Oh hang on, I forgot to mention Personal Theme Readings – or Opening the Doors to 2024 as I call them.  Instead of writing about it (and making you question when I am going to shut up), you can pop over and see if it resonates for you.  

My glorious email community got first dibs on Friday last week.

Wow, that was a lot to impart (and I hope you absorbed most of it).  Let’s crack on with the reading!

Okay so when I asked my glorious giddy guides who they wanted to play with this week.  I was a tad surprised!  Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as not to do so would be rude!)

At the edge of the mind awaits the holy wilderness of the soul.  

It beckons you, like a great forest filled with vast mysteries and wonders.  While this mystical realm exists in a higher dimension, beyond normal reality, it is real nevertheless.  To enter this mystical realm, it’s simply a matter of having an open heart and an open mind.  

In this healing and holy place, long-sought answers to your deepest questions become known.  Ancient wisdom emerges.  Revelations about your future are revealed.  Hidden talents and abilities are activated with you.  It’s a place where miracles unfold, and your spirit can fly. 

 In the deepest sense you remember who you are.  

Okay gorgeous bean, here we are with the holiday season rapidly approaching, and yet the place of Solstice.  The longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.  

The place of release and moving into the warm, feminine darkness that nurtures and supports.  I invite you to take a long, deep, luxurious breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.  Let your face relax, your jaw relax and the worries of the day drop to the floor like soft gentle rain drops or snowflakes. 

I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a glorious warm dark night sky, you feel safe, you feel supported and held and as the clouds pull away  you see stars that will guide you.  Breathe that in.  Allow this gorgeous Feminine Darkness to gently wrap around you and guide you and then when you are ready pick a card or cards that call to you.

You picked yes?

Shall we go see?

DAFFODIL FAIRY

New Beginnings

You feel a tap on your shoulder, and in a flash of yellow, you see a Daffodil Fairy fly by you.  In a high, sweet voice she says, “The best is yet to be!  It’s time for a new beginning!”  With glee, you race after her into the forest.

Life goes in cycles.  Just as spring follows winter, a new cycle is beginning in your life.  In the phases of the earth, the plants die in the fall so that there can be new birth in the spring – it’s the universal dance of death and rebirth.  There’s a time to end and begin, and this is the close of one cycle and the beginning of another.

We associate the daffodil with spring, as it is one of the first flowers to emerge after the snows.  Its shape echoes the feeling of trumpeting in the new season; its colour suggests vitality, radiance, and sunshine.  

It’s time to wipe the slate clean; it’s time to release the old and start again.

It can be difficult to release familiar routines, situations, or relationships when they no longer empower you; however, your higher self encourages you to not cling to the old, but set sail into new waters.  If you find yourself afraid to let go, you are urged to face your fear and allow yourself to stretch in a new direction.

The Creatrix is at your side, and wonderful opportunities will be born in your life.  Wholeness occurs when you can say yes to both endings and beginnings.

It’s time to start a new project or a new cycle.  Life force and vitality are emerging.  Release that which doesn’t serve and support you.  Make way for a new start!

FOGGY BOG

Patience

The fog in the forest is so dense, you can’t see your hands in front of your face.  You take a step forward; the soil is soft and spongy.  You realise that you are standing in a bog and to go forward is to risk sinking deeper into the mud.

The best strategy is to be still and wait for the fog to lift.

Be quiet and still.  The time is not right to go forward now.  

It’s hard to see what lies ahead, and the truth of things may not be as they initially appear.  Events that seem one way may, in fact, be completely different.

Just as the egret exhibits great patience as he waits for a fish to emerge, so too must you be still and allow the truth to emerge.  In this state of obscured visibility, your imagination can surge forward and spark your intuition.

If you can wait long enough, your sixth sense will be ignited.  Listen to your inner yearnings and pay attention to those seemingly random thoughts.  

Water represents emotions, feelings, and the subconscious.  When the water becomes condensed as fog, it obscures the true shape of things.  We can’t see clearly the way we can in the light.

Don’t allow unexamined emotions to overwhelm your growth.

Have patience.  Wait until the fog lifts before taking action.  The truth will emerge in time; you just need to go deeper.  

Follow your intuition.  

GUARDIANS OF THE LAND

Protection

“You are safe.”  These words seem to emerge from the land and radiate from the trees to echo in your soul.  You hear these words again and again.  

The Sacred Guardians of the Land are whispering to you, “You are safe.”  

You know that you are protected and cared for.  You can feel tendrils of their loving energy wrap around you and embrace you.  Their unleashed power cocoons you in safety.

You are enough, just as you are.  No matter what has happened or occurred in the past, the truth is that you are absolutely and unconditionally enough as you are.

You are loved.  You are cherished.  

Do not be concerned about outside forces and the judgements and expectations of others.  You are protected in your own energy field.  Envision a protective shield around yourself and around your home.  Spend time with people and in situations that uplift your energy rather than draining it.

You are safe and surrounded by a glorious protective shield.  You are not alone; your life is guided and protected by higher forces.

Within this knowing-ness you can soar to great heights.  Breathe wee one.  Trust.  

Oh my giddy aunt!  Those glorious beasts were delicious.  How did they resonate for you?  So darling one, wishing you a week of ease, grace and flow.  Don’t get tangled in any one else’s stuff, tinsel or lights.  If it resonates for you to come join Omen Days – please do.  If  you want to find out your Personal Theme, please do.  If you just want to be left the fuck alone and celebrate Solstice as you like – grab the Winter Solstice book.

See you next week, for the last reading of 2023 (as I am taking the Omen Days off to Be, Create, Plan, Cocoon and Relax.)

How Are Your Boundaries and Bandwidth on this Full Moon?

· ·

Happy Moon filled, Marvellous, Magnetic, Meritorious, Manifesting Monday!

Interestingly enough I wasn’t going to do a reading this week, but my guides (or posse as I call them were super frigging clear – they needed to talk, they needed to talk about bandwidth, boundaries, self worth and so much more – so here we are.)

But first let me say thank you for all the wishes, love and healing vibes – my ribs are slowly mending and I am feeling more like myself! Now here’s a question for you……

Let me ask, on this Gemini Beaver Full Moon, how is your bandwidth? 

This post may be triggering for some people and I can appreciate that and it may piss some people off and I can appreciate that.  Always remember, how you react is your choice.  

Now what do I mean by that word “bandwidth” exactly?

Bandwidth is the measurement of your emotional, mental, spiritual and physical energy that you have available for you.  

Here’s a really easy mathematical example to help you with this concept. (A concept I learned about 20 years ago when working with Caroline Myss). 

You wake up every morning and you have $100 worth of energy to spend in your day.  

As you stumble out of bed and into the shower, you run through your to-do list and your shoulders drop as there are some people you don’t want to interact with – but you need to.  There goes $25.00 of your energy.

As you make your coffee, you turn on the tv and the news is blaring.  Hundreds of people are dying in the war between Israel and Gazza.  Women and children are being killed, hospitals are being bombed – your mind immediately grabs onto that and starts trying to make sense.  And disappears down a rabbit hole, there goes another $40.00 of your energy budget.

As you move through your day and encounter people (who too have limited bandwidth) and are sharp, not listening, don’t even see you.  There goes another $35.00 of your energy budget.

So guess what?  You have just spent your energy budget on the past, the rabbit holes and trauma.  (Harsh I know). 

Now, if you are an empath without healthy boundaries you are going to absorb and not observe, and therefore your energy will get sucked dry at a rapid rate.  But I can 90% guarantee that you will still try to show up.

“If you’re feeling like you’re on your last nerve, like you can’t understand people, or why they’re not hearing you, or even why they are not following simple instructions…Instead, they are misinterpreting, forgetting, dumping on you, unable to hold you as a whole person, are not tracking you… whatever shortcoming it is you’re experiencing right now, please bear in mind that it’s really not personal: People just do not have it right now.”

They do not have capacity for whatever it is you need.

Do you need them to hear your actual words and not assign ill intent to them? They can’t do that right now. 

Do you need them to speak to you using different words, tone, or inflection? They can’t do that. They do not have it in them right now.

Look around at the world. Read the room. 

They are beyond capacity. They are running on fumes. (As are you some days.)

They do not have the ability to bring their whole best self to an interaction right now. They are a trauma response waiting to happen.

This is where self attachment (knowing who you are, what you need, your values and having healthy boundaries is vital!)

This is where practising self care techniques, havening, vagus nerve soothing, and taking supplements is important.  

This is where you need to be really connected to your self-worth and your values right now. 

If I were to ask you what your top 3 core values are right now, would you know?  Could you describe them in depth?  Do they wend through all areas of your life?

You have to have a clear line on your moral compass. You have to know what’s the most important thing to you. And do it!  

As that old saying goes “If you don’t fill your own well, there is nothing.”

Give yourself a fucking break!  Invite Grace into your day.  

Tie that into the Gemini/Beaver Full Moon energy and wowzer.  

“We have almost reached the end of the calendar year and under the November Full Moon, we may begin feeling that it’s time to release and let go of any heaviness 2023 has brought our way.

While we still have one more Full Moon to go in December, the Gemini Full Moon on November 27, guides us to begin thinking about what we wish to cleanse and what we wish to purge.

What do we no longer want to carry in 2024? What has become too heavy and too burdensome? What has been taking up far too much of our resources?

It’s time to start thinking about letting the heavy things go. It’s time to start clearing our plates so we can move through 2024 with more alignment, grace, and ease.

Use this November Full Moon to start assessing what is too heavy to hold and what you wish to be free of come the new year. Set your intentions and put them out to the Universe under the Full Moon. Allow them to be carried by the powerful cleansing energies that the Full Moon brings.”

So please darling one, if you take away anything from this writing.  Bandwidth, boundaries and releasing the yes’s that should be no’s.  

And for those who are interested, there will be a powerful MasterMind Circle for a select few starting in the New Year where  you will learn energy management, boundaries, values, self mastery, collapsing old mirrors and so much more.  If you are interested in hearing more make sure you are on the email list.  

Okay, with all that being said let’s crack on with the reading.  

If you have never met these guides, 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.  

Perfect guides for this time!  

So darling one, just BE for a moment.  Allow your breathing to slow down, the todo list to drop to the floor and imagine filling your own well with magnitude, light, love and ease.  Breathe that in and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.  

For those who would like to go a bit deeper into the energy of Magnitude, or feel they need a wee bit of help with filling their tank.  I have a glorious guided visualisation for you.  

Did you pick?

Let’s have a gander, shall we?

MOON SECRETS

Cycles

Life is all about cycles.  Creation depends on cycles.  The cycles that create life on Earth are meshed with those that create and run the Universe.

We are all aware of the moon’s cycles and the effects that they have upon life on Earth.  

From our ties to our reproductive cycles, the moon has a great influence upon our lives.  

For certain, the Universe also has many other cycles that influence us.  Everything in existence is cyclic in one form or another or it could not exist.  Cycles bring order to the Universe and to our lives.

There is a season for everything.  Everything must happen in its own time.

A cycle forms a circle, which symbolises continuance of cosmic energy flow.  The energy that animates each of us is never ending.  It was in the beginning and will ever be.  It can change forms but it cannot be destroyed. 

Learn to know the cycles that affect you.  Sense them.  Pay attention and notice all the cycles around you in your life.

The seed that sprouts and grows has a cycle.  Day and night are cyclic.  You breathe in and you breathe out.  

What all these cycles tell you is that there is order in the Universe and there is order in your life.

You just have to acknowledge the order and flow with it.  Don’t fight it.

Know that when you relax into life, things begin to work more smoothly as you are no longer fighting against the universal energy patterns, but moving within them.  

“Goddess Moon……

Who reflects the cycles of the Universal force,

Help me to remember

All things have their perfect time of being,

As well as their perfect time of ceasing in this realm.

The great wheel of existence turns continually.

Help me to remember 

I am a party of the wheel and of all that is.

I am!

So be it!”

Celebrate life’s cycles today!

GIFT REVEALED

Surprise

Faeries love good surprises.  

However, when they are faced with a  surprise that isn’t quite what they asked for, they pout.  Pouring soon turns to a smile and laughter as they realise that everything comes with its own gift.  

They always look until they find the gift.  

If life gives you something that you aren’t completely thrilled with, keep an open mind.  Often the best things come disguised.  Look below the surface and see what a person or situation holds for you.  Do not be quick to judge new people.  Not everything is revealed on the spot.  

Connect with the person and work to understand where they are coming from.  Their experience is different from yours.  So take the time to see what makes them tick and what they have to offer.  They are just as important as you are.

Do the same with situations….understand that what appears to be the case may not be the truth at all.  

Remember that solutions can come in the strangest of ways when you allow them to do so.  

Always ask that Spirit create the perfect situation for you.  Find the gift in all things.

“Oh Spirit of the night,

That hides the light of day,

I call upon your wisdom to help me on my way.

To look below the surface and see what lies within.

I cast about some fairy dust to sprinkle at my whim.

I judge not that what I see, but look and let it be.

For I do  know within my grasp a gift is there for me.

So be it!”

Surprise someone today!

WATER ELEMENT

Flow

Water is the elixir of life on Earth.  

It is also a symbol for the astral fluid (or Universal Energy) that permeates all things.   Water deserves our respect and gratitude since without it there is no life.  

Water element is also associated with the divine feminine.  It is about love, fertility, emotion and is also associated with the subconscious mind.

Water has no fixed state, it is in a constant state of flux.  How does water show up in your life?

Do you squander it?  Are you aware of it?  How are your emotions?  Are they tumultuous or on an even keel?

It is totally natural for emotions to fluctuate, but if they are peaking and troughing, ask this glorious Water Element Fairy to help you keep them in balance.

This water fairy dances in the flow of the energy around her.  She is joyous and buoyant as she moves with the current.  She does not fight it, she moves with the flow.  She knows that this fluid energy will take her where she needs to be and bring to her what she needs and desires.  

As water is associated with the subconscious mind, you may also be looking at a need to follow your subconscious.  This can be done in dream work, as there are many messages if  you just take the time to focus on them.  

Pay attention to your intuition as it works to guide your daily life.  Ask the element of water to purify your emotions and your intentions.  

Ask it to help you see clearly, as in a calm pool of water, what you need to know about yourself on a deeper level.  You might be pleasantly surprised by what you discover about yourself.  

“I honour the fluidity of life.

I dance in the spirit of water.

I drink in its substance, deeply.

I am thus sustained!

So be it!”

Be buoyant today!

What a gloriously lovely reading! I’m so glad my spiritual posse badgered me to share what they wanted to say. So darling one, I wish for you a week of practicing healthy boundaries. Self attachment. Anything that nourishes you and fills your well. Sending big hugs and squeezes.
