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!

Well Hello Mercury Retrograde! And Beltane is almost Here!

· ·

Happy, happy Magickal, Miraculous, Magnificent, Musical, Majestic, Mighty Monday! 

How are you most delicious, lovely?  How did the eclipse treat you?

Isn’t it just oh so much fun to have that intense of an eclipse and then flop into mercury retrograde?  Part of me has been hugely confused as if I’m coming or going to be honest!

Throw into the mix of eclipse and retrograde,  I welcomed a wee 8 week old English Labrador puppy into our pack on the eclipse, so sleep has become a delicious commodity!  

Thus, I am very thankful I booked off the last few days of work last week as it’s been like walking around in a very peculiar alternate universe.

Okay, let’s have a look at this first Mercury retrograde for 2023.  

On April 21st (so last Friday) in the sign of Taurus Mercury went retrograde, so this will be our “cosmic” energy for the next 3 weeks.   

Mercury retrogrades tend to cyclically happen in signs of the same element and during 2023, all mercury retrogrades are going to happen in Earth signs.

Earth is our connection, our foundation, our stability – so rather important wouldn’t you say?

This eclipse can be seen as an invitation to reflect on, renovate, and reset our relationship with Nature, with our physical body, with matter, with our resources and possessions, as well as with money, receptivity and abundance.

Taurus is the first Earth sign, a simple, grounded, and practical archetype. 

Taurus is concerned with creating conditions that allow life to continue, creating stable and steady foundations and creating space to fully savour the present moment through our bodies.  This sign correlates with our value system, with our self-worth and with survival themes.

So this current Mercury retrograde is inviting you to reflect on your values and how they have been changing.  It’s an invitation to explore different ways of perceiving wealth and abundance and to question your habitual way of thinking about your body and sensuality.  

Basically, we are being inspired to slow down and practice feeling more and speaking less.  

Then on May 1st we welcome in Beltane!  Whoot!

I love Beltane, I love it because it is fiery, passionate, intentional and produces results!  I especially love it as it’s the time when the veil between this Earth and the Fae is exceptionally thin.  So Magick abounds!

Beltane is thought to be one of the more important festivals of the Gaelic calendar.  Beltane is a Fire Festival. The word ‘Beltane’ originates from the Celtic God ‘Bel’, meaning ‘the bright one’ and the Gaelic word ‘teine’ meaning fire. Together they make ‘Bright Fire’, or ‘Goodly Fire’ and traditionally bonfires were lit to honour the Sun and encourage the support of Bel and the Sun’s light to nurture the emerging future harvest and protect the community.

Beltane is the halfway point between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice, making it easy to see why Beltane is typically associated with creativity, prosperity, hope, fertility, and sexuality.

The Beltane fires of yore were a time of revelry, pairing and celebrating fertility (there were lots of babies born 9 months after the celebrations!)  Also, cattle would be led between two fires for protection and to encourage a strong, fertile herd.  Holy wells were visited and feasts were had. 

Rowan was often used in Beltane festivals as it’s a tree of protection and healing. Branches of Rowan were placed as protection over the doors of houses and barns at Beltane to protect from increased Faery activity as they woke from their winter slumber.  (As they can be rather cheeky!)

Sprigs were worn for protection also. Rowan berries have a tiny five-pointed star on the bottom reminiscent of the pentagram.

So all in all a great time to celebrate, set intentions, fertilise either self or ideas and have a grand jolly time and invite the Fae to support you!  

So later this week, for all you glorious souls who are part of our email community, I will have a wee Beltane giftie for you to help you dance with the Fae and ignite your inner fire.

But for now, let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to come play I laughed.  

The reason I laughed is these glorious guides are playful, but deep.  They think outside the box and invite you to do the same. 

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

Ha!  Perfect for these delicious energetic times, wouldn’t you say?

Okay dear one, let’s get grounded and present.  Take a glorious deep breath and invite you to see in your mind’s eye abundance.  With Mercury retrograde in Taurus we are being invited to re envision what abundance means.  So what does abundance look like, feel like, smell like to you?  Allow whatever images float up to just swirl in a lovely vortex of colour.  Remember to keep breathing.  

If you need a deeper dive I have a lovely guided visualisation for you where we go on a little trip, don’t fret, you won’t have to pack much.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your soul strings.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

RA! RA! RA!

Have you had enough of the dark side of life?  Fear, doubt, uncertainty, anxiety, frustration and believing that you cannot manifest your dreams are signs you’ve been in the darkness for too long.  It’s your time to step out of the darkness and into the light.  

It takes a lot of courage to leave darkness behind and embrace the light.  To step into the light means that you give up attachment to drama, the stories of suffering and the pain of the past.  You don’t deny your struggles or your pain, but you know it is possible to let it go in favour of trust, reassurance, comfort and commitment to what holds meaning for you, again and again and again, for as often as needs be until you are free.

Sometimes the courage of stepping into the light means a willingness to set aside the mental anguish and say, “Today I just choose to trust that everything is going to work out according to a higher and unconditionally-loving divine plan that has my best interests at heart.”  It means that you acknowledge what you have gone through without needing to keep score.  It means that you are willing to pay more attention to what is happening in this moment, and to believe wholeheartedly that the universe is working with you and for you, not against you.  

Like the sun cracking through the night to bring the dawn of a new day, this is your divine wake-up call.  Your dark days are numbered and  your time in the divine spotlight is upon you.  Be willing to shine your light, even if no-one else around you seems to understand, acknowledge or recognise it at first, or even for a long time!  

You are brave enough to shine true with or without others holding your hand and encouraging you.  Maybe others need to find their way to you, so they can help you or be helped by your light.  For that to happen, you are going to need to stand in the dark and shine with trust, patience and courage.  

If you’ve been in the dark, so to speak, for a while, you might find it hard to trust in the light at first.  You might worry that the goodness won’t last and that it’s better to be pessimistic now than disappointed later.  Those are tricks of darkness.  Don’t believe in them.  

Trust in the power of light within you and don’t be afraid to let it shine bright.  

GYPSY COLOMBINE

The free spirit in you is rewilding itself, shedding social conditioning and past patterns of behaviour.  It is shaking off socialisation and emerging anew like a snake shedding a skin.  

The wild one within isn’t a save.  It is raw, yes, but also wise, authentic, beautiful and with a deep instinctive knowing as to what you must be. 

Can a bird ever be truly happy whilst trying to be a fish?  True freedom is to be truthfully yourself.

Politeness and people-pleasing, not out of respect but out of fear you will otherwise be rejected, is a form of social conditioning that dulls the wild one within.  

If you reject that conditioning in favour of rewilding, of getting in touch with your true instincts and nature, you will exchange lukewarm tolerance from others for their passionate admiration and love.  

And for those that cannot love you, that are afraid of how much life is in you, then let them be.  They do not belong in your world, nor you in theirs.  

The jungle of life is a vibrant, colourful and exciting place, but not everyone is ready to live there as yet.  That is just the way of things sometimes.

It’s now time to let yourself off the hook, to forgive and forget, to allow what’s been to have been and to start again.  No regrets.  No fear.  No doubt. 

 It’s time to heed the call of the wild and ask yourself, “What would set my spirit free?”

LADY LUCK

Lady Luck is on your side.  A change of fortune is in store for you, a twist of fate that is meant to be.  You’re a winner baby!  You are about to hit the jackpot.

Do you think that luck is something that only happens to other, luckier people?  Your attitude can attract luck to your side, no matter if you once thought you were the unluckiest person alive!

Luck is attracted to a certain type of consciousness, an attitude, a belief that life wants to help you, and has the infinite power and creative imagination to do that in endless ways.  Attracting luck means being open to the genius of life, which works itself out perfectly, bringing benefits to us again and again, even if we have no clue how, where or why it operates the way it does.  

You are being given a golden ticket, a lucky break, a change in fortune that was always meant to be for you, that was in your stars.  You can turn this lucky break into a lucky streak that stays with you for a long, long time, or even forever, with your attitude, your belief in the goodness of life and the generosity of your spirit.

Feel the thrill, the gratitude, the joy of being a winner, and thank the universe for it daily!  Luck will visit you soon and it will love being around you so much, it will decide to stay.

Woosah!  What delicious guides for the energies right now, yes?  So my glorious one, remember to slow it down a tad, re=envision what abundance and sensuality mean to you.  Be gentle with your wonderful self, and let’s get ready to welcome Beltane in!  Have a stupendous week and remember to stop and see the flowers (and smell them).  Big hugs and squeezes.

Signs, a Kick Arse New Moon Eclipse and opening the Eclipse Portal!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Messy, Mysterious, Magickal, Manic, Manifesting Monday!

How was your Easter or Passover?  Mine was delicious, filled with play, food, family, dirt and lots of outdoor adventures!

So let’s get down to it, shall we?  

Because this week we open  up the Eclipse portal this week- whoot!  (No, don’t run away and hide in the closet).

However, before we start – do you remember that I said your mantra this month should be “Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries?” (I hope you have been putting that into practice.)

So let me ask, before we dive into eclipse energy – do you pay attention to the signs that are trying to communicate with you?  I often hear from clients and friends that they are asking for a sign, but because it doesn’t come in the neat tidy package they expect, they ignore it.

Signs are everywhere (think about the stop sign just down the road).  Or the feather that flutters down on your path with no bird in sight.  

Signs are a way of the Universe/Divine communicating and chatting with us.  

Could be numbers that show up, animals that randomly appear, feathers dropping from the sky, a friend you haven’t heard from for years phones, the perfect thing you were desiring manifests.  

Why am I bringing up signs?  

As we open up the eclipse portal many of you have shared they have been experiencing physical symptoms, vivid dreams, that restless energy where it’s as if your skin is fitting a bit too tight, strange signs, insomnia and oh such much more.  

Including zero tolerance for bullshit and arseholes.  

Totally get it!  (Signs)

What does this Eclipse mean for you?

On April 19th/20th (depending where you live) we have the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries (think about that sign). 

This is a hybrid solar eclipse which  is a combination of an annular and total eclipse, where the former becomes the latter and then it reverses back.  

In other words “The Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse is a hybrid between an Annular Eclipse, where you can see a ring of fire around the Sun, and Total Eclipse, where the Sun is completely blocked.”

Hybrid Eclipses are incredibly rare and can suggest a transition or perhaps a shift between two worlds. Just as the Eclipse moves from Total to Annular, perhaps something in our lives is preparing to shift too.”

Eclipses uncover hidden emotions, beliefs, thought patterns and habits.  

They bring to the surface the bits and bobs we have been either trying to stuff into an already over crammed closet, or have continually swept under a rug (and we wonder why the rug has a bump in the middle!)

However, This is a very powerful portal for transformation, change and moving into the next level of productivity and manifestation.

Eclipses  often act as portals to the life that our soul needs us to lead, so we evolve.

The energy of an eclipse can be like a reset button for our lives, allowing us to release old patterns and make way for new growth.

This can be a challenging process, as it often requires us to confront our deepest fears and limitations. But if we’re willing to do the work, eclipses can also be incredibly transformative times that lead to greater clarity, purpose, and fulfillment.

Don’t be afraid to embrace the intensity of the upcoming eclipse season. 

Trust that the universe has a plan for you, and that this powerful energy is leading you toward the life that your soul needs you to lead.

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

We have new guides this week, and they are so appropriate!  

Please let me introduce them.  

Have you ever seen something and felt like it was more than what it seems at first glance?  A sign?  We’ve been conditioned to write off these experiences as pure coincidence or nothing more than random occurrences, but that is not always the case.

Signs and symbols are the Universe’s way of communicating with us.  Our willingness to become an active participant in the conversation is a choice.  

The Universe is always communicating and signs speak to us in a very personal way, allowing each of us to have our own one on one relationship with the Divine.  Almost like the Universe has given you a nickname or a secret code that only you can crack.

These guides are a conduit for that energy.  

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.

Okay, let’s drop in shall we?  

I invite you to just gently breathe yourself back into this moment.  Just this moment.  

Let the dross of the day or the mind drop to the ground and feel your breath filling your whole being.  Allow it to take whatever pace it needs.  Then invite into your mind’s eye a glorious swirling vortex of energy.  In that energy is interwoven so many glorious messages from the divine just for you and the pieces that you have been stuffing under the carpet.

Let them come up, with no judgment, just watch them, breathe in and welcome the signs from the divine, breathe out and let go of the bumps under the carpet.  

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s have a gander, shall we?

PALM

Destiny

Look at your hand, the palm of your hand.  There is power in your palm. 

When you rub your palms together vigorously you create a ball of energy.    A ball of energy that is palpable and can change things.  

So what are you passionate about?  Have you thought about your purpose?

You are being invited back to yourself and your destiny.

Prepare for fated events and glorious moments that seem out of your control.

You may notice an increase in coincidences, and things may align in ways that seem to be impossible.  These forces are pushing you toward your destiny.  You are being nudged to follow your soul’s calling.

If you don’t know what that is yet, take some time to feel into what you are drawn to and what you may enjoy.

You may experience such random connections that lead you to exactly where you are destined to be.  Allow your intuition and spiritual senses to guide you.

If you are feeling like you are destined for more, but not quite sure what that might look like.  Accept that you don’t have an explanation for everything and allow the Universe to work its magic and guide you.

Fate is stepping in and leading you to your next phase.

LOTUS FLOWER

Enlightenment

The lotus flower represents the quiet strength and ease that follow once you have achieved a heightened level of awareness.  There’s an inner knowing, peace, and spiritual connection that shifts your focus from constant worry to allowing yourself to approach situations as they come, with this awareness..

After many life lessons you have grown and acquired valuable wisdom.  Situations that may have previously caused stress or strife now roll off your back.

Approach life with a pure heart and calm mind, which allows you to rise above the noise.

With this enlightenment lifting you up, it is still important to stay grounded.  

Serve as an example for others who may be struggling or not possess the same level of understanding you now have, so be patient and accept people for where they are in their journey.

Remember to connect with your ancestors and your roots. You have lots to share. 

ANGEL NUMBERS

Confirmation

Have you ever looked at your watch, a clock and the numbers are repeated?

Maybe it’s 3:33, 4:44, 11:11 or others.  Repeating numbers are among the most recognisable symbols of the Universe that are speaking directly to you.

Once you start to notice an angel number, it becomes difficult to ignore, whether it be the building number 1111 or a receipt for $3.33 from the petrol station.  

Each pattern of numbers has its own individual message and energy, but overall, numbers are signs of synchronicity and alignment in your life.

They tend to show up as confirmation that you are not imagining the signs you are picking up all around you.

Trust you are on the right path.

There are many different instances in which angel numbers can speak to you, including the time on the clock, license plate numbers, phone numbers and more.

Listen to your intuition, as you could be receiving critical guidance about the road ahead.  

The Universe is guiding and supporting you in your journey, and the synchronicities are a constant reminder.

Trust that you are exactly where you need to be.

Happy Monday!  Happy Eclipse Portal.  Remember to keep your boundaries healthy and strong, release the dross, embrace and work with this gorgeous energy that wants to help and support you.  Huge  hugs, see you next week.
