Possibilities and the Buck Moon.

· ·

Happy Mysterious, Marvellous, Musing, Magickal, Mellifluous, Manifesting Monday!

How was your Solstice?  Did you take some time to soak up the sun’s energy and light your inner flame?  The things that make you feel filled with passion, hope and joy?  I hope so!

I took the day off work and the whole day was splendidly delicious.  A couple of the ways I celebrated was to go for a walk in the woods and watch the sunbeams dance amidst the myriad of green branches and light up the moss.  

Then, down to the ocean, the same spot where my sister and I visited 5 years ago and celebrated Solstice.  

The same spot where the Solstice intention I set then came to pass exceptionally quickly, and changed my life in a way I couldn’t imagine.  

There I offered up the beautiful Sun Wheel that I had woven of ivy, St. John’s wort, ocean spray and feverfew – all filled with my releases and my intentions.  It was incredibly powerful to cast it on the ocean and watch it gently float further and further from shore, as it slowly unravelled.

Yesterday, we had a glorious Solstice gathering within Creatrix Circle, and I will say I love the women that are in this circle.  They blow my hair back with their openness, their vulnerability and their depth.

And for all those who have emailed and messaged saying that they missed the open spots for the Solstice Reading Special and will be another one – the answer is possibly at the Equinox, we shall see.  

So let’s talk about Possibilities shall we?

I bring up Possibility as with the Solstice just passed, this is the time to really look inwards and outwards and see what you can create, manifest, call into being or try.

I was listening to something the other day and a Chinese Medical Practitioner shared that when someone dies of old age what is really happening is their heart stops believing in Possibilities.

So when someone dies of old age, their heart no longer sees possibilities for that lifetime and their spirit departs.

Sit with that for a minute.  Mull the word Possibilities around in your mind for a moment.

On a deep and tangible level Possibility opens our heart to the experience of life.  

Possibility is the very thing that makes life worth living. That gives our Spirit something to live for on this planet.

The opposite of Possibility is when we feel stagnant, stuck, trapped or confused.  Which we all experience at some point or another and is one of the most blaugh feelings in the world.

However, what is happening here is your Spirit is asking you to perceive Possibility again.

Possibility is asking this question – “What opportunities are here for me?”

Possibility is looking at a dead end and seeing that the path continues.  You may not know where it’s going, but it’s there waiting for you to see it and take a step onto it.

Possibility opens our heart to the truth of life’s wonder and connects us back to where we are meant to be, which is allowing the Divine to dance with us.  

Possibility opens the portal of our perception.

…….and most often times our perception is rather limited.  

When we are in the mindset of Possibility we are able to see new ideas, innovations, ways of being that we couldn’t see before.

So ask yourself this question – “In my dream of dreams what would be possible for me?”

The minute we step out of our daily routine and rut we are opening ourselves up to greater Possibilities.  

So are you willing this week to play with Possibilities?

Possibilities and the Solstice energy tie in deliciously with the Buck Moon energy which is coming in on July 3rd.

The spiritual meaning of the Buck Moon is a powerful time for abundance, strength, passion and possibilities.  

This moon is a lovely time to reflect on your life and decide what steps you’d like to take next. What vistas are you willing to perceive in your life? What are you open to?

Make time for fun and joy!

Turn off technology and be present in the joyous season of summer. 

Find activities that fill up your soul with happiness and pleasure as this is when possibilities come flooding in.

So with all of that chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the guides and cards and asked who wanted to show and shine – the deck that came out loud and proud this week is Love Your Inner Goddess Oracle.  Perfect!  As we could all do with loving ourselves a wee bit more and being a tad more gentle and kind whilst we open up to all the delicious possibilities that are available to us.  

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them – “These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth. 

Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world.  We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK.  Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense.  She wants so much more for you.  She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny.  She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart.  She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you.  You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true. 

There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed.  Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity.  She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart. “ 

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time.  Woosah!

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

If you need help with getting into the flow, there’s a lovely guided visualisation for you.  

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

BRIGHT DESTINY

To become truly yourself, shining your divine beauty and light, you will go through a process of releasing what is no longer right and true for you. 

Like the caterpillar who sheds the chrysalis when it is time to emerge as the butterfly, you will let go of the person you once thought you needed to be.  

This can feel freeing, exciting.  It can also seem frightening.  

You may feel crazy sometimes, trying to hold onto a past that is no longer available to you and grasping for a future that is yet to be.  

Sometimes, it can feel like a dark night of the soul, filled with questioning and confusion.  

Others may not understand what is happening, and you may feel as though you can’t really explain it, either.  In such times, we have to trust that all the changes and uncertainty are part of a process of growth – letting go in order to open up to something amazing and new.  

This is happening for you now.  You don’t have to be afraid.  You are going through this because you are ready for it, even if you think you’re not.  

There is a loving reason for all of it, even if you cannot see that right now.  

Put your faith in the mystery.  Trust that the answers will come – and so will the joy of all that you have grown into.  Stay true to your path and know that you have a bright destiny ahead.

For now, let the process happen.  Fear can make us try to force something that isn’t quite ready yet.  Don’t try to impose a meaning, take action or understand it all prematurely.  Don’t think too hard! 

 It’s OK to relax and trust that the moment of clarity will come when the time is right.

PRIORITY OF PURPOSE

Making a choice can be hard, as if to say yes to one thing, you have to say no to fifteen other things!  Remember that saying no is just saying, “not right now”, rather than “never”.  

There is a higher plan for your life that includes all of your passions.  You can do it all, but just not all at once.  

Your soul knows how to build your most inspired and beautiful divine life, as though it were building an extraordinary temple for your spirit.  

It knows that the foundations need to be prepared and the walls built before the windows, doors and skylight can be installed.  The roof may be absolutely one-of-a-kind incredible, but if you try to lay the roof before you’ve built the walls, you are going to have some problems!

There is a certain order to how things need to happen, which the soul intuitively knows.  

That is why listening to the soul and trusting your inner guiding voice makes more sense than trying to accomplish everything straight away and ending up with so much less than you deserve for all that effort.  

Every moment of patience and sacrifice that you make now is stored up by the Universe as a sweet grace that you will receive back later, as everything falls into place so perfectly.  

Tune in and trust your soul to show you how to gain everything you ever dreamed of, one simple step at a time.  

EARTH GODDESS

You have beautiful dreams and wonderful visions of what life could be.  It is not enough to imagine them.  You want to live them!  This is exactly how you are meant to feel.  

For that to happen, you must practise feeling grounded, taking practical earthly steps, one at a time, to bring your dreams to life.  The Universe will send so much help your way, but you are the one who must take the steps.  Spirit cannot do that for you.  

Even if you are not sure how your biggest, boldest dreams can come together, you can still ask yourself, “What is it that I can do now?”

Sometimes, it will be an obvious action that you can take, and, sometimes you will need to pray and meditate and ask for the way forward to be shown.  

When you can do something, do it.  When you cannot, rest and wait for your intuition to nudge you when the time is right to take action. 

Remember, you are an Earth Goddess.  You have the power to manifest your visions, to bring your beautiful ideas to life in the world.  This is what you are here to do.  Remember to love yourself enough to recognise your creative power and use it joyfully each day.

There’s a fantasy that wants to become reality for you.  Don’t let a few gritty moments or human imperfections prevent you from experiencing the joy of heaven on Earth.  

Oh my gosh, I so love my guides and the cards.  Perfect for this time!  So my most glorious one, I wish for you a stupendous week filled with Possibilities and the energy of the Buck Moon. There will not be a reading next week as it is Canada Day here and I am going to dance with adventure and possibilities. Huge hugs!

Summer Solstice – Ignite Your Inner Flame – Your Internal Sun!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Manifesting, Merry, Magnificent Monday!

Solstice is here in 2 days!!!!  And for all of those who have asked – YES!  There are a few spots open for the Solstice Reading Special (which ends on June 22nd), and YES!  The Solstice guides will be available until June 23rd.  

We have literally just had the Gemini New Moon -with Gemini ruling over communication, the New Moon in this sign emphasizes the importance of effective self-expression.

So with all that swirling around – Let me ask – how are you feeling?

Right now the Sun is at the height of its power. And so are you.

This month, with the sun at its height–its peak–your own corresponding, internal flame has the potential to also reach its peak.

Your own inner flame–your internal sun–represents your confidence, you drive, your ability to create & take action in the outer world. All these things are being affected by the outer sun; and all these things have the potential to reach new heights this month.  (Melded with your ability to express yourself and communicate.)

Think about it, in our Northern Hemisphere Summer Solstice is the longest day and the start of the heat of the summer.  The Sun, seen from an esoteric level, is all about love and wisdom. It’s the primary ray of energy from which everything else is created. 

It’s the Heart of creation.

This energy invites you to lead from your heart, find your voice, to guide, to shine and share your heart, words, work and all sorts.  (Are you ready?)  If you need some ideas on how to be like the sun on Solstice, I have 5 of them for you.  

At the summer solstice, a doorway in time opens, which our ancestors viewed as sacred and holy. 

Litha (Summer Solstice)  is a grand portal of energy, space, and opportunity – a chance to let go of fears, doubts, and insecurities, a chance to dance with the Fae. After the Sun reaches its maximum power, it begins to decline. Slowly, the night force will grow stronger until its peak at the winter solstice. 

Litha is the last chance in our calendar year to activate sacred intentions before moving into autumn and winter, the natural seasons of harvest and rest. 

It’s a time to step out in faith and imagine what’s entirely possible for yourself. 

Dream an expansive vision for your life that will sustain you as the darkness slowly returns with the Fall. 

If you want to really tap into this potent energy, grab SASS (Stupendously Awesome Summer Solstice guide).   

OKay enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to ask which guides wanted to share Solstice with you, these glorious ones came to play, which made me grin.  Now, if these are new to you – please let me introduce them.  

These glorious guides give you needed glimpses into your everyday life and help you see where changes can be made to enhance your life here on Earth.  There is so much more to our world than we often perceive.

There exist many dimensions and numerous beings that reside in these realms.  All of these elemental beings are interconnected with us.  We do not live independent of one another but are interdependent.  These wonderful beings are here to help.

They not only take care of the Earth, but they work hard to take care of us.  We are familiar with many of these beings, such as angels, faeries, and elves.  There are many more we are not conscious of, but they, nevertheless, contribute to the workings of our planet.  Remember as you go through  your day, to ask for help from the elemental world whenever you need it.  The need is never too small to call on their help.  It is through helping us that they advance in their spiritual development.  We are their work.  We in turn can spiritually evolve through allowing them to help us.  To all these amazing beings we say Thank You.

Perfect!

Okay glorious one, take a breath.  Breathe in long and deep and just any shit go.  Breathe into the energy of the sun, the fiery, rich energy.  See the light of the sun filling you from the tips of your toes to the ends of your hair.  Allow it to warm you, fill you, nourish you and help you find your voice and passion.

If you need a wee bit more support, I have a lovely guided visualisation where we go for a wee meander and play.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that ignite your inner flame.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

ACORNS INVITATION

You are being invited to touch the world, to enter into a somatic relationship with the world around and within you.  To experience the vitality of the life force that exists in everything, including you, and including your body, with which you may have a conflicted relationship.

The faeries know that your body is a beautiful sacred expression of the spirit and an essential part of the self.

They teach that when we reach out and touch, not only do we connect with another, but we are touched in return.  Thus through the act of physical communion we are touched, held and nurtured.

It cannot be otherwise.

The impact of touch is so underestimated, but this faery man reminds you that without touch, you can become sad, depressed, unwell and your immune system weakens.

While you are alive in your current form, this faery wants you to know that you must touch and be touched to be whole.  Physicality is your friend.

Hug, hold hands, rub a back, get or give a massage, rub feet and connect.  

Allow a butterfly to alight on your finger.  Pat a dog.  Stroke a cat.  Look into someone’s eyes while you sit with knees touching.  For this touching is healing, and touch has the ability to uplift us, comfort us, soothe us, cure us, and make us vibrate with bliss.  

THE SECRET PATH

Faeries love country paths and wooded ways that twist and bend and take shape, but that are mysterious and very bright and dark, spooky and sweet all at the same time.  

Likewise, your own path must have both light and shade, and it is never straight!

Faeries walk their paths to revive the land, and they take rests at special trees and wells, as do you, in your own way, create magick when you are true to your path.  

You are being drawn down a path that has the potential to lead you to a rich source of wisdom – one danced and sang and dreamt down by these faeries you now see.  These faeries would have been spoken of in the old ways as “trooping” but here we would say they are following their path:  swiftly, joyfully, singing and dancing their way to a destination that will be full of riches and joy, profound learnings and deep initiations.

You are being beckoned again to rejoin your path, and perhaps your first steps will be to wander a little, to travel, and see where the lines of magick within the earth herself take you.  

Paint your body with a little of the earth, and let the earth on you sing to the earth beneath your feet, and soon the song will be alive in your blood again.  

You are also reminded by the faeries that you can walk your path, be dragged along your path, meander from your path, slow down on your path or dance and be joyful on your path.

How you walk it is empowered by your unique self’s intent, and as you already know, intent is the heart of many a matter.  

Take steps again to be on your path.

Reconnect with the song of the land that sings in your blood, and you too, like these beautiful beings, will be called home.  

STAR DUST

This beautiful faery seems somewhat unsettled.  She is listening, waiting, reaching out to the galactic web to try and put together pieces of the information she is receiving.

For she has experienced a premonition, but as these things go for us all, we are never entirely certain of what will happen, and when.  Only that something will happen, and soon.  

And so she reaches out to what we humans have called the heavens.  She looks to the cycles beyond those of this earth and wonders if we are all in the process of major change, a change so profound we have not yet found the words to describe it.  

She understands that the premonition she has is about cycles that reflect those on each, but she is unsure what to make of what she is feeling and sensing.  

So she looks to the night skies, at a time when there is peace, stillness, and quiet, and gazes up above at the lifeforms and planets and the stars and their galaxies, and knows she has lived beyond this dimension, and that what might be reaching her is significant far beyond her life, magickal as it is.

As she gazes up, there are baby stars and dying stars.  There is stardust, which is sent out by the dying stars, and breathed in by the nebulae and used to form their new star-selves. 

This is a true premonition.  It is not an empathic moment, where she feels the strange feelings and sensations of another.  She has had a postcard from the future, and from a place far beyond her home.  And so she waits and knows that while her premonition is as ephemeral as light as stardust, she knows too that it is powerful, and will create ripples throughout all time, and all places.  

It’s time for you to return to source and rewrite the soul contract so that you can change and move into a new stage of life, a new incarnation.  

In order to make sense of these feelings,  you may need to be alone and in the dark, dancing with the night sky to work something out.  

Seek connection in the night sky – when you can see other constellations and galaxies – and understand your own stardust self and origins.  

Allow the clues and messages to come, don’t worry about the clarity right now.

Yummers!  May you light your inner flame gorgeous one and use your voice, heart and soul to express your unique glorious self.  May the sun remind you of how strong you are and have a glorious Solstice!  Sunbeam kisses and big hugs.   

Civic Duty and Intuitive Choices.

· ·

Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Magnificent, Musical, Mysterious Monday!

Well here we are in June and yesterday we had the glorious Strawberry Moon!  

I don’t know about you, but it’s been a full week!

My most amazing daughter Morgen and her huge, gloriously fat 8 month old baby called Callum came to visit for the week and to help celebrate the mothership’s 95th birthday.  The last time Morgen came to visit, which was in January, my housemate gave us all the plague so we spent the visit in our beds!

This time however, with the lovely weather, I juggled my work schedule and took time to play and boy did we ever.  We explored a Medieval Festival, went on multiple glorious hikes, took Callum to the petting zoo (which was more for us than him, lol).  Made jewellery together, went to all the Farmer’s markets, had a picnic in a daisy meadow and much more!

And then I managed to tweak my lower back on Thursday as I parkoured into the back of the car in a frenzy of cleaning, prior to picking up the mothership and taking her around the gardens of Government House and to a cute tea room!

By Friday everything came to a grinding slow down (totally pisses me off when that happens).   I was frigging, hobbling and bitchy as all get out which got my mind spinning to the fact that I have been “chosen” for jury selection on Thursday and if picked I can look forward to a 7 day criminal trial!

I’m sorry, I have no desire, zip, zero, zilch to sit on a jury.  None whatsoever!

When I have mentioned that to a couple of people, I am very politely reminded that it is my Civic Duty, that I should give back to my community.  Mmmmmmmm.  Well that got right up my nose. 

I have coached football (soccer) for 25 years, purely as a volunteer.  I have coached rugby, I volunteer for Hospice, Women In Need homes, Animal Shelters, and Compost Education centres.  

I vote, I obey most laws but I don’t believe we have a Justice system, I believe we have a legal system and I have no desire to partake of it to be honest.  

Let alone the fact that I can’t sit still for a whole day, or that my 23 year old son, Rowan, has his convocation for completing his degree with honours through a pandemic (and I am not going to miss that), or a 3 month old puppy that needs to be let out every hour and a half.  And the list goes on.  

So no, I have no desire to be selected for jury duty!

Thus, I did what any normal person would do and hung up my macrame swing that I made the other year and talked to the Full Moon as she beamed through the branches of the Garry Oaks above me. I took some time to ask myself some questions that really tie into this last Full Moon of Spring, let the breeze waft and the scent of the flowers dance around me.

It was quite delicious!

I also spent time planning out a Summer Solstice gathering and feeling into the ideas for a guide for Summer Solstice – so we will have to see how that comes through.

So let me ask, how are you feeling delicious lovely?  

With June we have an energy shift from the TENSION of May to INTUITIVE CHOICES (I love this).  

So let’s get Lena to explain it all shall we?

The theme for June is: “Intuitive Choices”

“Emotional clarity becomes more available this month as we assimilate the lessons of the recent eclipses and align ourselves with the next intuitive step. 

The theme of Intuitive Choices has everything to do with stepping into the power of trusting the heart instead of the head and allowing for our curiosity and what is choosing us to be the compass instead of a plan based on a rationalised set of responsibilities and expectations. 

There is an opportunity to settle into right timing and the magic of synchronicity and spontaneous events that feel emotionally aligned. In this energetically softer month we can begin to really feel what wants to support us and where we may be struggling down the wrong path.

Since the emotional centre is a much faster processor than the intellectual centre, we will feel into people and situations and either move away from or towards them before the mind has a chance to process the information. Trusting the intelligence of the heart is an important step if we are to reset ourselves on the path that is choosing us. You may not “know” intellectually why you are drawn to certain people, places or experiences, but if you trust that you do “know” intuitively, that is what is important. You may not be able to explain to someone why you are making a particular choice, but if you are clear about it, that is all that matters.”

I love how the emotional centre is acknowledged this month, as this is one of the things I teach in my Mastery and Manifestation course.  

Many people don’t understand that what we allow,  either from outside or from ourselves,  into our bio morphogenic bubble impacts every cell in our body and what we are able to create.

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading.

When I asked who wanted to come and guide this week I laughed as it was The Signs of the Times.  

You are being invited into a conversation with the Divine and your Higher Self that will feed your soul and reveal the very answers you are seeking.  Let go of doubt and follow the signs.

Awesome!  

Okay dear one, take a moment.  Really breathe into the place of “what is the sign I need right now”.  Let your mind chatter slow and entertain itself in a corner and ask that question again.

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

LABYRINTH

Journey

You are on your own path, and the labyrinth represents the simple fact that this journey will take you in many different directions.  Unlike in a maze, in a labyrinth there are no dead ends or wrong ways.

You will not always understand the route  you are on, but you can either choose to be confused and scared, or see it as an opportunity to learn lessons and discover strengths.

This sign encourages you to embrace where you are on your journey and resist comparing yourself to anyone else.  Listen to your intuition and use that as guidance to face any challenges.  Keep moving forward.

The gift of the journey is not the destination itself; it is the experiences and lessons learned along the way that have shaped you into a person who is prepared to reach that destination.

Like stumbling upon a labyrinth in a park or seeing one incorporated in a log, this sign is an invitation to embrace the unpredictability of your own spiritual journey and the growth that comes along with it.

Embrace self-discovery!

STARS

Divine Guidance

Looking up at the stars at night can be a magical and almost spiritual experience.  They are a reminder that we are all here on a rock, floating in the middle of a mysterious universe.  

If you are seeking direction or guidance, you will receive answers and clarity soon.  

The human experience is linked to the stars: for centuries, navigators have used them to learn where they are on Earth, astronomers have used them to learn where we are in the Universe, and astrologers have used them to help us find our place in both.

Right now, you may be unclear on different areas of your life or wondering why certain things are happening.  

Spirit is asking you to connect by setting intentions, asking for Divine Guidance, and looking up for answers.

Allow the Universe to work its magic by asking from the heart and being open to the way the answers come to you.  You will be pointed in the right direction.

The stars will tell you where you are.  Have faith in yourself!

ANCHOR

Stability

Stability and security are essential in your life at this time.  You are feeling grounded, calm, and comfortable, which is reflected in your finances, home life, work, and personal relationships.

There is tremendous mental ease that comes with knowing those areas of your life are solid.  If  you have been working to achieve a goal, the rewards will come in the form of stability.  

This sign can also represent feeling safe and protected from outside elements, which can include people, places, or things – even if the waves roll in and shake things up, you are confident in your position and your strength.

The tricky thing about anchors is that as much as they provide a stable foundation, they can also create a dynamic of complacency.  You can end up stuck, tethered to what is familiar and safe, and miss opportunities to take risks and grow.  

Continue to check in with yourself to ensure your desire for stability doesn’t end up holding you back.  

Don’t hold yourself back by clinging to the electric fence of your comfort zone!

I don’t know about you, but I love the guides that chose to come out for this week.  Have a stupendous week dear one, remember to come from your emotional centre when making choices and trust your intuition.  Huge hugs and warm sunbeams.  

Memorial Day, Are You Willing? And the Strawberry Full Moon!

· ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Marvelous, Majestic Memorial Monday. 

(To all my US friends), and happy Spring Bank holiday to all my lovely UK friends!  

Wow, May seems to have just flown by!  It just seems a hot minute ago that we were talking about the energy of this month being TENSION and pffft, the month is almost done. 

Although,  I will say I am reveling in the warm weather, the garden growth and all the amazing smelly flowers that come out and dance for us in this time of late Spring.

This weekend we celebrated the mother-ship’s 95th birthday, with a feast, family, friends, frivolities and fun.   It was so interesting to see all the different personalities meld and the cool conversations that unfolded.  

During that event, I had a great conversation with one of my boys about the book “Unfuck Yourself” (he had just discovered it recently.) 

He brought up the key phrase that can really Unfuck you……… Ready?  

Super simple, but super powerful when faced with confusion, stagnation and all the rest of that dross.  

The phrase is “AM I WILLING?” 

Am I willing to do the work to make a change?  Am I willing to get off the sofa and go to the gym to lose weight?  Am I willing to release those relationships that drain me?

AM I FUCKING WILLING TO MAKE CHANGE?  

Then interestingly enough the author goes on to say, if you can’t come up with anything to put on your AM I WILLING list.  Turn it around and ask yourself the same question in a different way “WHAT AM I NOT WILLING TO DO OR PUT UP WITH?”

For example, I am not willing to put up with this abusive relationship.  I am not willing to continually struggle.  I am not willing to be continually dismissed.  I am not willing to feel unhealthy………..  

It’s quite fascinating to play with, write down and it most certainly unravels those threads that can make you feel like you are tied up in a knot.

Dare you to try it!

This Saturday (June 3rd) we welcome in the Strawberry Full Moon.  

This is the first Full Moon since our lovely Eclipse Season and the heralding of Summer and Summer Solstice.

The Strawberry Moon of June is named for the wild and ripe strawberries that reach their peak in June. It’s believed that picking strawberries beneath the light of the moon honors the crops and ensures a bountiful yield.

Strawberries are considered a food of love, representative of the goddess Freya, and they symbolize love and luck. June’s Strawberry Moon meaning embodies the magic and fullness of life.

This is the best moment to make difficult decisions or to face responsibilities you’ve been avoiding. Start fresh and dive deep into personal growth! Remember to pace yourself, don’t burn yourself out in your excitement and enthusiasm. Evaluate your goals and intentions to make sure they are realistic and achievable.

New life, sunlight, magic, joy, and strength are everywhere. The earth and the universe are surging with enthusiasm! Your intuition is at a peak! So keep an open mind to all of life’s adventures and twists.

A delicious thing to do under this Full Moon is to go sit outside beneath the moon, or someplace quiet where you will not be disturbed. Reflect on 3 things you are grateful for right now.

Feel free to say the following chant or repeat it in your mind:

Tonight I sit beneath this Strawberry Moon feeling grateful for (say the 3 things you chose above). I’m grateful for the Moon above and the Earth below me. As the season turns I wish strength, abundance, hope, and love for myself and those I care for.

Feel the white and glowing energy of the Strawberry Moon fill you up. Then just spend the next 5-10 minutes meditating quietly.

Okay, enough chuntering – let’s crack on with the reading.  

We have glorious new guides this week!  They are your Gateway guides, they are your keys to unlocking a mystic portal into the inner knowing and ancient wisdom within you.  They can open a wondrous realm where you can explore your life and discover what destiny has in store for you.  

Are you ready? 

Take a deep breath honey, just drop into this moment and ask yourself what would it look like to be willing and to start fresh.  Allow that energy to fill your being and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

RISING ABOVE

Let go of the ordinary and step into the extraordinary.  You have potential that you haven’t even begun to tap into.  This is the time to reach higher than ever before, so do not fall down before doubt.  

Remember your true calling.  

Just as the lotus rises up out of the mud into the light, so you are rising up to even greater heights.  Sometimes this occurs naturally, and sometimes it’s an act of will.

This is the time to rise above any situation that’s not empowering.  Even if there are some people you might leave behind, let your light shine for all to see.  

Rise up and step into your potential! 

ACCEPTING WHAT IS

Accept your life in all its configurations.  Know that every moment, situation, and event has profound value….even if it doesn’t seem like it.  

Accept your inner majesty and be present.  

You are magnificent and wondrous beyond measure.  Embrace all those parts of yourself!

It is an act of both power and faith to love, honour, and accept what is.  At times it can be challenging to truly accept what’s occurring in your life.

When you do so, however, you affirm that there’s a plan for your life and that everything is working for your highest good.  

Accepting “what is” doesn’t mean that you can’t work to change it, because you can.  It does mean that there is gentle, yet profound, awareness that every experience can support your highest good and spiritual evolution.

If there is something you just can’t accept, start by gently acknowledging the fact that  you can’t accept it, don’t push it into the closet and hide it away.  

As you increase your own acceptance in life, this will help others be at peace in their own lives.

SAVOURING PLEASURE

Fill your life with people, experiences, and places that bring you delight and joy. 

Live deliciously!

Release the need to be practical in all situations.  Surround yourself with beauty and sumptuous pleasures.  

You’re not meant to solely work hard and be dutiful and diligent.  Life should be lived abundantly and fully.  Give yourself permission to be happy and experience profound gratification and gratitude.  

Embrace pleasure whenever you can.

Create personal environments that fill you with deep satisfaction.  Cherish your friendships.  Love often and deeply.  Allow your senses to be satisfied.

See, hear, taste, touch, and feel the beauty within and around you.

Drink well, eat well, and dance into the early morning hours.

Wow!  Perfect guides for this Strawberry Moon, as it’s all about embracing life, getting clear and reveling in who you are!  Wishing you a stupendous week of love, laughter and all sorts of possibilities.  Take some time under the Moon.  Big hugs and squeezes.  

Post Eclipse Portal, Mothers Day and Tension………..

· ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Misty, Mischievous, Magnetic, Manifesting May Monday!

How are you delicious lovely?  How was your eclipse experience?

I have heard from quite a few of you that it was rather intense and “thank goodness the frigging thing is done with!”

Hate to be the Debbie Downer here but eclipse energy goes on for a few months, so if you notice endings, things rapidly changing, remember to breathe, trust and flow, yes?

Often we desperately cling to things by our fingernails because they are “known”, they are part of our tight, wee little comfort zone, they feel safe, even if they aren’t.  After all, who wants to bump up against the electric fence of their comfort zone and make a change?

That can be scary!  

There are lions and tigers and bears oh my!

Let alone the mind chatter of “What will people think?  I can’t.  I’m too old, too young, too short, too tall”…………… and the list goes on and on.  

But what if you dropped into a place of Trust, Faith and pushed that electric fence wider and played with the mantra; 

“Let everything that needs to go, go.  Let everything that needs to come, come.”

You will be amazed at the results (and the lack of anxiety and worry).  

On top of the eclipse energy that is wafting in the breeze we have the energy of May and I will let Lena  share her wisdom and explain it to you.

The theme for May is: “TENSION”.

“Tension this month is the condition of pressure or a relentless force causing anxiety, strain, crisis, release, and change. We are stretched tight, some of us more than others, as we attempt to hold on to the past and control the future. The emotional center of the year is highlighted as we clear out old stagnation and get things flowing in a more positive direction. Fear of change and fear of the unknown is what keeps us grasping tightly to our defences, old habits and outdated beliefs.

It is hard to relax in a state of tension. Sleep cycles can be disturbed and we may be hypervigilant about what may or may not be just around the corner. Anxiety unconnected to any real situation may be a constant companion to some that are prone to it. There is physical tension in the body, pointing to necessary adjustments in self-care; emotional tension, often erupting in drama as old repressed feelings find their way up and out; and mental tension, especially related to the need to know and the fear of the unknown.

All of this may sound extremely challenging, however there can be a very positive outcome to the month but it requires certain disciplines and the willingness to deal with feelings and emotions without blame or judgement.“

Mmmm, do you see how this folds in like a victoria sponge cake into the post-eclipse energy and the mantra?

On Sunday in North America we celebrate Mother’s Day and for me personally, it’s irrelevant if you have birthed children or not.  As we have all at some point in time nurtured, mentored, supported a child – whether they were ours or not.

I also realise that Mother’s Day can be challenging for some as there are so many energies that float around that day, there’s:- love, frustration, loss, grief, disconnect, yearning, joy, expectations, connection, being invisible – and so very many more. 

It reminded me of years ago when I was in a lovely Kundalini yoga class and my most amazing mentor invited us to bring in our Mother, to feel that energy of safety, unconditional love and peace.  

Well, I have to say that was not what happened for me by any stretch, instead it brought up loss, abandonment, grief and some very dark emotions which had me sobbing the whole way through class!  (Gotta love how energy moves).  

Afterwards I went up and shared with her my experience and she could really hear how that didn’t feel safe inviting that person in.  So instead she invited me to bring in someone who represented that mothering energy instead – so the next time I happily brought in my Great Aunt, another Aunt and a lovely older female friend.  

Which in turn created a totally different experience!

So remember:-

“Let everything that needs to go, go.  Let everything that needs to come, come. “

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

Okay, when I went to my delicious guides and asked who wanted to come and play.  

These lovely guides came in loud and proud!  If they are new to you, please let me introduce you.

“As above, so below.  As within, so without.  Today, many of us seek to reclaim the sense of connectedness that existed universally in ancient cultures, when human fate was wholly entwined with nature.  

The world was seen as a symbiotic entity in which all living organisms interacted and supported each other, from the innermost cellular level to the outermost cosmological level.  An essential bridge is being rebuilt between humans and nature, allowing us to access the realm of the transcendent and the land of the luminous.   

Herbalism is the medicine of belonging, a gateway through which we keep alive a very sacred aspect to our source. “

With all that being shared, let’s drop in shall we? Take a delicious breath and invite in the energy of endings, as when there is an ending there is a new beginning. What needs to just gently drop away (no drama), so that something new can grow?

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a wee peak, shall we?

REISHI

Retreat

Called lingzhi in Chinese, Reishi represents immortality and is considered the “herb of spiritual potency,” meaning success, well-being, divine power, and longevity.

Said to have been discovered in 396 BC in the Changbai Mountains of China by Taoist monks, it is one of the oldest mushrooms used in medicine.  It has long been called an anti-aging mushroom and powerful Shen tonic, a category of medicines that “nourish the spirit.”

Reishi powerfully influences our main spiritual centres: the endocrine, nervous, and hormonal systems.  Hormones powerfully impact our perception, mood, sleep-wake cycles, ability to bond with others, and awareness of reality.  They activate the nervous system, which is also directly related to igniting mystical experiences.

Reishi is ruled by Jupiter, the “guru of planets,” the one that dictates how we derive wisdom and access to the mysteries of life.  

Reishi is inviting you to Pause.  It’s time for renewal.  

If you feel overwhelmed or mentally overloaded, it’s time to retreat.  Take the time to recuperate and recharge, and personal growth will follow.  Overstimulation and indecision lead to a sense of weakness, imprisonment, and a feeling that you are evading death.  

Like Bear, hibernate or rest before you take on the next project or challenge.

Many Native American tribes have called this space of inner contemplation the Dream Lodge, a place to witness death and see beyond the confines of physical reality by visiting the dreamtime.  

Create the space to be in silence and calm the internal chatter.  Take time for reflection and nurturing yourself (and we all have that time).

MITRAGYNIA

Shape Shifting 

The Indigenous peoples of Southeast Asia have valued the power of this rainforest tree for thousands of years and have used it as a poultice to treat wounds, as well as treatment for a variety of symptoms, including stress, pain, fatigue and fever.

Like Coca leaves in the South American highlands, fresh leaves from the Mitragynia tree are chewed for energy and stamina throughout the day.  

Mitragynia was revered among monks in Asia, as it assisted them during long periods of meditation by providing focused attention and positive energy.  

Mitragynia embodies elements of both Saturn and Neptune, as it profoundly relieves and decompresses the musculoskeletal system, while granting a freeing and euphoric feeling to the body-mind.

Used in the right amounts, it can greatly assist those with addiction (Neptune).

The balanced side of Mitragynia represents the ability to shapeshift and adapt across realities.  

Like the Dragonfly, Mitragynia grants us the power to break through the illusionary facade we often accept as reality, providing us the freedom from pain in order to break through limiting illusions.

Dragonflies, like Mitragynia, help us initiate subconscious healing from the trauma experienced from endless cycles of pain and suffering.  

Dragonfly medicine invites us to seek out the parts of our habits that have gone unchanged, unnoticed, and stagnant.

Ask yourself, have I tended to the changes I’ve been wanting to make?

Don’t get lost in the labyrinths of self-doubt.  

Break free from illusive belief systems that hold back your transformation.

ANGEL’S TRUMPET

Death

Angel’s Trumpets have an intoxicating scent and flowers that resemble angelic horns aimed downward, symbolising the call of the angels to humanity.

Plants in the Brugmansia genus and relatives like Daturas have a rich history of use among shamans and magic practitioners, even though they are poisonous.

Some South American Indigenous groups, like the Kamsa, Jivaro, and Ingano, initiate their children at a young age into the path of curanderismo – becoming a healer – by ingesting Angel’s Trumpet during a flower ceremony.  

Jivaro boys who walk the shamanic path are given the medicine at the age of six to acquire an external-vision-producing soul that lets them communicate with ancestors called arutam wakani.

Angel’s Trumpet is ruled by Pluto and Mars.  

Angel’s Trumpet signals a time of catharsis or death.  

A deep emotional breakdown is due or near.  You may feel lost in your own emotional despair, depression, shame, or unworthiness, but now the angels of discernment and darkness are here to support you.

Coming eye to eye with the darkest feelings within yourself catalyses the greatest awakening.  Deeply pause, let go of control, and witness the broken pieces within yourself with loving awareness.

The medicine of the Bat symbolises the need for a ritualistic death of relations, situations, or aspects of life.  

Bat, like Angel’s Trumpet, signals catharsis and rebirth, signalling literal or metaphysical death of old patterns and worn out habits.

Understand that you can reconstruct at any time, create something new, deeper, richer and more in alignment, regardless of how shattered you feel.  

Wowzer!  Oh my giddy aunt, the messages tie in with the eclipse energy and the monthly energy (and you seriously can’t make this shit up!)

Wishing you a stupendous week and inviting the mantra into your life with trust and faith and feel the dross drop away like drops of rain off a Gortex rain jacket.  Big hugs and squeezes!
