Easter

Hippity Hop It’s Eclipse Season and Mercury Retrograde bouncing in! Whoot!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Manifesting, Moony, Maddening Monday!

How was your Ostara (Spring Equinox?) 

I took the day off and went and frolicked in the woods, watched 6 eagles dance in the sky and spent hours in my garden planting all sorts of delicious seeds, and finished off the day with a glorious ritual.  

It was frigging deliciously, divine!

And guess what?

Today we start Eclipse Season with the glorious Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Libra! 

(As a Libra person this one has been so present for me over the last 2 weeks.)

So what does this mean for you?

If you remember, eclipses come in pairs.  As if they are a portal or a threshold.  

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 cramped closet, or have continually swept under a rug (and we wonder why the rug has a bump in the middle!)

So if you have been feeling agitated, emotional or as I like to refer to it – “itchy, twitchy and bitchy”, I’m not surprised.  

We start this Eclipse season  as the emotion-ruling moon opposes the ego-ruling sun, creating a penumbral lunar eclipse in diplomatic Libra. This powerful event could illuminate how leaning into our selfish habits, competitiveness and impatience can sour even the most harmonious connections. 

Use this as an opportunity to re-evaluate how you’ve been showing up in your relationships.     

With this being a Full Moon Eclipse.  Imagine the energy of a Full Moon intensified by 100, that is the energy this brings.  The releasing of a full moon, the uncovering of an eclipse and the deep, deep spotlight on relationships and balance with Libra (with a zing!).  

On top of it we have Mercury going retrograde on April 1st (thank goodness it is after Easter celebrations) which is all about transforming how we communicate. Speaking our truth, being willing to use our voice in our integrity.

“The portal that opens under this Libra Lunar Eclipse is one of endings. It seems that we are being guided to bring something to a close. Perhaps it’s a thought pattern, way of belief, or, perhaps it is something more tangible like the ending of a job, relationship, or chapter of our lives.”

The scales of Libra represent the balance between giving and receiving in our lives. Where are we giving too much? Where are we not giving enough? 

These were questions that we asked at Spring Equinox – balance baby!

These questions are likely to be on our minds under the Eclipse and at the root of any issues that come up for us.

Our relationships are likely to be a big focus under this Eclipse, as Libra energy gets us to look at how we show up in our partnerships with others and what we are giving and receiving. 

Are we being truthful and authentic to ourselves? (Very powerful question to ask!)

Do we like who we become when we are in certain relationships?

Then to close off the Eclipse portal we have the first full Solar Eclipse on April 8th. 

Prepare to take the reins as the spirit-driving sun conjuncts the empathetic moon in courageous Aries, we’ll be given the tools to recognize and claim what we need to truly thrive. 

Epiphanies and surprises could also crop up, blessing us with empowering wisdom — just make sure you employ this newfound knowledge so you can continue to evolve and grow.  

So in a nutshell, These powerful lunations can help drive us closer to our destinies — if we’re willing to put in the work.

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

When I asked the guides who wanted to come to play  The Oracle of the Shapeshifters , they were front and centre.

 If these glorious guides are new to you, let me please introduce them (as that is the polite thing to do)!  “These are the magickal familiars, once the companions of shamans, witches, wizards, and wise ones – and now they are here for you.  

Now is the time for you to undertake a great quest – to rebirth yourself within this lifetime and this quest of evolution does not need to be faced alone.  We change and we change again.  We fear change.  Yet it comes.  For us to fear change is as foolish as winter crying for the coming of spring.  Change is.  Fear corrupts.  

These guides are here to support, encourage and help you through transformation and to teach you to let go of fear.  True , deep change must take place for you to fulfil your soul contract.  

You may have turned from possibility to what you have convinced yourself is probable:  You diminish your possible self, reduce who you are, and dilute your spirit.  But even when you have sought to remain invisible and hidden away, and said  yes to everyone else, life will find you – and transform you.  You are never alone with these beings.” 

Frigging perfect guides for this time, Whoot!

So my darling one, take a lovely, luscious deep breath in and then blow it out like you are blowing a trumpet.  Let yourself pause for a moment and invite in that place of balance, the giving and the receiving.  The mask and the authenticity.  Allow it to gently caress you and 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?

THE MERMAID AND THE TURTLE

An elder will teach you.

It is highly unlikely that a literal, experienced tribal elder will step forward in garb of feather and bone to guide you today – though such beings can appear in vision and in disguise (as shapeshifters, they can become almost anyone).

So while it may seem that there is no witch with her cauldron of transformation at the ready,, no Green Man to take you into the deep beneath of the underworld and help you to be reborn, there are ancient ones who are ready to teach you the deep knowledge of the planet and her oceans, and they come to you in many ways.  

At this time, it is the turtles who will speak with you, letting you know of your very old soul and whispering words that reawaken knowledge that is deep in the blood and the bones of the Mother’s seas.  

In order to grow, we must experience transitions and changes.

To be fully alive, we must die again and again, all in this lifetime.  

While we have many rituals for birthdays and religious holidays, we often yearn for the depth of the rituals of the old days, during which part of us would die and another part of us would spring to life, and we would be reborn and renewed.

You are now about to celebrate life’s great shifts in more meaningful ways.

You are about to enter into a real relationship with the cycles of the planet – and you will be asked to observe these respectfully, thanks to the teaching of an elder.

A mentor, elder, or other wise one will instruct you at this time, but she may come in the form of any age.

Listen.  Choose this person well.  

It’s time to reclaim the practices that pulse in your bones, your ancestral and spirit lines.

SNAKE PRINCESS

The serpentine path to power.

Associated with the goddess, worshipped in the matriarchal cultures of Minoa, and venerated by many people, including the Hopi, the snake is life itself.  

It is the marriage of the heavens and earth, and it symbolises the union of masculine and feminine.  

The snake is your spine, your DNA, and your nervous system; it is the ancient serpent kundalini knowledge that has been denied for over two thousand years and now returns.  

It may be time for you to carry a staff, a sacred tool around which the snake mother can twine and speak with you.  You deserve to let this energy flow into you, for it is the ultimate energy of rebirth.  

It is time for you to shed the skin of fear and conditioning, yet to still use your own wits.  

The snake will support your intelligence, and the goddess will support your true self-love and acknowledgement.  

You are about to receive knowledge of healing, of ancient times, of the beauty of what lies beneath – the underworld, with all its wisdom of crystals, minerals, and ancient worlds.  

Speak and show who you are.  You will not bite.  You will grow strong.  You will not poison.  

You will inform us all with your brightness and illuminated apple, which when opened will reveal the five star seeds of wisdom.  Do not refuse this apple.  Do not heed the fear.  

Transform and heal.  

The propaganda about the snake and the serpent goddess has led us to fear this creature and our deep, wise, ancient self, and to forgo many blessed forms of connecting with the divine and with our own DNA.  

My home is this tree of the world, where all souls flow from.  Your soul is nurtured by my presence and wisdom of the tree.  

Eat of our fruit.  It is your soul nourishment.  

And do not let the fears and the lies you have been taught be the reason you deny me.  

You are strong enough.  You are worthy enough.  

QUETZALCOATL AND THE PRIESTESS OF TIME

The time has come.  The time to act is now.

The feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl is at the heart of the Mayan people’s traditions, and he is a timekeeper.  

His return is now, and thus this is the time of most rapid transformation, of the clarity of a thought that can manifest into reality immediately.

We are in the most challenging and fantastic times ever on this planet, and Quetzacoatl heralds a shift between worlds of consciousness.  

He and his influence are now the reality, and those who refuse to step up and embrace and incorporate the new energies will find themselves deep in struggle and unhappiness over and over.  

Instead, it’s time to refuse to allow fear to corrupt your courage and to do what must be done!

Will you shift your consciousness – will you change deliberately, despite the fear and the others who tell you that you are wrong?

Will you move away from fighting, opposition, the either/or mentality, and shift into a being-ness that allows for a much greater reality?

The time is now.  That is all you need to know – but there is much that you must do.

A deliberate effort to move away from navel gazing and procrastination will transform into a determination to become through doing, thinking, being, sharing, and insisting o n the new reality’s truths for you.

It is time to embrace a new standard of excellence and to make that your creed.

Do not wait another heartbeat.

Oh my giddy aunt.  Glorious guides for you this week, and for the beginning of Eclipse season!  There will not be a reading next week as it is Easter Weekend and I plan to go in search of the wascally wabbit and try and purloin some choccie eggs!  (Also spend time playing with my family and in the garden!)  See you on the next Eclipse.  Buckle up darling one, it’s going to be delicious!

Boundaries, Full Moon, Easter, and Eclipse Season cometh! Muhahaha!

· ·

Happy Miraculous, Magnificent, Moody, Melancholic, Magickal, Majestic, Moodling, Manifesting Monday! 

The first Monday in April (how the heck did we end up in April already?)  Time is doing some very interesting things for sure!

Holy hannah, I will say March zippity doo dad past with incredible speed.  One moment it felt like it was the beginning of March, then it was Equinox and poof – gone!  Did you feel the same?

Many of you have shared with me that you are feeling the surge of Spring energy, the creation, the planting of intentional seeds – however are also feeling a tad overwhelmed with the energies that are chaotically swirling right now.

I totally get it.

So let’s start with talking about Boundaries, shall we?

Did you shudder when I said Boundaries?  

There are all sorts of  boundaries that we work with every day.  Physical, Emotional, Sexual, Financial, Intellectual, Spiritual and Energetic.  

I think of boundaries as this glorious field of energy around me that has the capacity of osmosis, it lets in the delicious, yummy, healing stuff and becomes like a steel wall when shit is creeping in.  

I will be honest, I am very clear about what I allow through my boundaries whether it is through media, family, friends, random interactions, people I spend time with and even the clients that I choose to work with.

Boundaries are about healthy choices.

Boundaries are you getting clear on what is okay for you, what you need, and what you desire.  

Is that selfish?  Fuck no!  It’s healthy as long as they aren’t reactive (note that word). 

Knowing your values, owning your piece in any interaction you have and being clear about your boundaries up front is actually a refreshing gift for most of us intuitives and empaths (to be honest).  It’s something I teach in one of my courses.  

Boundaries embrace all aspects of you and yes, sometimes that means a chapter needs to close as it’s not healthy but insecurities and stories keep you stuck in it.  

Okay, so now we have boundaries gently talked about, let’s move onto the glorious Full Moon (Pink Moon) that happens on Wednesday, April 5th (just before Easter).

As Lena shares:  This moon brings a bit of air to fuel an already fiery time. 

You will feel inspired to act on a project, relationship or new endeavour. Be careful not to be too impulsive as it may backfire on your stability. 

Think things through carefully before- you leap and make sure that what you are reaching for is truly aligned with your emotional intelligence and not just your intellectual reasoning. 

This is a big moon for relationships as well. Don’t be surprised if something gets triggered unexpectedly that opens the door for deeper soul searching and resetting of priorities.

We have an opportunity to be reminded of what we love about our life and to reconnect with our hearts and appreciate the beauty all around us. This aspect joins with the need for action and moving forward so think of this as a practice in bringing the right balance into your life between right action and simply being in appreciation of what is around you.

If you find yourself challenged by what is going on around you, remember to practice patience, compassion and understanding. 

Don’t take anything personally and allow others to be just where they are without judgement. If you need to work on your personal boundaries, this is a good time to start that process.

(Note the energy of boundaries…..)

Then we have Easter, which I love – there are inflatable bunnies in my neighbourhood!

When my kids were smaller we would do a massive egg hunt all through the house, the property and up into the parks, I loved their joy of finding those wee chocolate eggs wrapped in glorious foil.  

There was one time, a few years ago,  I had set the hunt up (which meant getting up at 4am to do it)! 

It wended through the house, the gardens and up into a glorious park space with cliffs and alcoves.  They barrelled out with baskets in hand and found every frigging choccie egg and then as we were clambering towards home they saw someone sleeping under a tarp.

I was curious about what they would do, and left it up to them.  

They paused, and then in quiet collaboration they gently left a massive pile of choccie eggs outside the top of the tarp and when they got home they all sat in a circle, poured the eggs out and shared them up equally.  

Have to say, it made my heart sing.

However, sometimes family gatherings at celebration times don’t have that energy.  

Uncle Tom, who can be a sarcastic asshole, comes.  Auntie Jean who is so critical about the food is invited and though you mean well, we may not thoroughly enjoy it.  It can feel like a chore or an obligation.

I invite you to play with the energy of boundaries, who you are, what you want and why you want it and to use your voice with compassion but truth.

Now a quick peek into Eclipse energy. 

(Which we will dive into in a deeper way next reading, which will be after Easter).

On April 19th we have a New Moon in Aries with a solar eclipse.  

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

However, remember the boundary piece; as eclipses, they come in pairs and they can certainly shake things up.

Eclipses really uncover stuff.  I mean bring it to the surface like a boil!

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!)

An eclipse is a time where the dealings of our worldly life (money, relationships, work, family) can get a little wonky.

On the other hand, the mystical part of life becomes incredibly enhanced!

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

The guides that decided to come and play are the glorious guides of the Sacred Forest.  

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

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

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

In the deepest sense you remember who you are.  

So my dear one, just close your eyes and allow the delicious energy of this Full Moon and boundaries to swirl around you. Then when you are ready, pick the card of cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Come take a peek.

BEAR SPIRIT

Healing

You can sense the presence of the bear, even before you see him.  

You turn slowly and look deep into his eyes, as a long lineage of healers – invisible, yet real – step out from beyond the trees and surround you both.  When you reach out and touch his thick fur, you feel healing energy instantly surge through you.

When the Bear Spirit appears healing on all levels is occurring, and it can come in many forms.  Be ready to accept it.  Know as well that you are a healing force for others.  

You may not even be aware that you are a conduit for healing energy, but when others thank you, simply say, “You’re welcome,” even if you don’t know how it happened.

In many native traditions, Bear Spirit is thought to be aligned with humans, as he can walk upright like a human.  He represents the healer and “good medicine”.  He also bestows healing powers to those worthy.  You indeed are worthy.

Bear Spirit energy can also represent grounding, strength, and confidence.  It activates a stable foundation to face whatever challenges appear in your life.

You are a healer, whether with your words, your hands, your ability to listen and a channel for the life force of the Universe.

You are strong and grounded.

Healing is unfolding and/or a situation is being resolved.

Have faith that all is well.

DAFFODIL FAIRY

New Beginnings

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

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

There’s a time to end and begin, and this is the close of one cycle and the beginning of another.

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

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

It can be difficult to release familiar routines, situations, or relationships when they no longer empower you; however, your higher self encourages you to not cling to the old, but set sail into new waters. 

 If you find yourself afraid to let go, you are urged to face your fear and allow yourself to stretch in a new direction.

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

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

Make way for a new start! Success is at hand!

STAG SPIRIT

Leadership

A majestic stag stands atop a mossy knoll.  His nobility and grace are palpable.  You can see fog form around his nostrils with his every exhalation.  He does not need to announce his might.  Simply and utterly, he is powerful without words or proclamation.

In many traditions, the elusive and mysterious white stag is considered king of the forest.  With his noble antlers and his proud stance, he carries a commanding energy.  This card is calling you to claim leadership of your life.  Now is the time to step out of the shadows and become a beacon for others.  Don’t allow anyone or anything to dim your light.  

You may be asked to take on a position of authority.  Even if you have been in the background in the past, this is your time to step up and shine.  

Remember that a leader isn’t necessarily defined by age, status, or income.  A true leader is someone who is commanding, passionate, and motivating.  They have a vision and are able to make decisions with clarity and strength.

The greatest leaders are those who know how to serve and act as stepping stones for others to reach their dreams.  You empower others simply by being who you are…and who you are is enough.  Are you willing to step into the light and be a leader for others?

You inspire others to greater heights.  Step into leadership in your life.  You are a beacon for others.  Shine in your own life.  Be gentle with yourself and others; however, do not play small.  

Take action.  This is your time.  Step up.  

Woosah (yes, I say that a lot as that’s the energy that floods in).  Happy Monday, have a glorious week and remember to evaluate your boundaries, be clear and spend some time with this glorious Full Moon.  And if you celebrate Easter.  Have a hippity, hoppity time.  I am going to kayak, and play in my garden – so see you in two weeks.   Massive hugs.

Will You be at the Healing Circle this Full Moon?

· ·

Happy Marvellous, Magnificent, Magnanimous, Melding, Magickal, Mysterious, Manifesting, Miraculous Monday!

This is a beautifully intense week – and what do I mean by that? 

On April 16th when we have the Full Moon in Libra where we are holding a “virtual” healing circle, to raise funds for the people of the Ukraine.  As I mentioned last week, many of you have asked if I would hold a circle and so I as I felt into it and waited until my spiritual posse said “NOW” (and believe me, they don’t give much notice when they do things like that.  

This Healing Circle is for self, for family, community, The peoples of the Ukraine and globally, as we all need to come back to centre, to heal, to feel supported and to support others.  An amazing 20 minute guided visualisation and meditation has been created for this time and is by donation (pay what you can), my goal is to raise over $3,000 to donate.  

Then at 7am PST no matter where you are (you could be in the bath) you stop, stand still, drop into the visualisation and connect to the thousands of people who will be doing the same.  And together we weave a web of intense healing, support and love. You don’t have to worry about hopping on Zoom, meeting in person – it’s about setting the intention to heal and share your healing with others.

When we harness the power of the collective at this level we create miracles for ourselves, our communities and for everyone!

Why is it happening on Easter Weekend?  There are 3 reasons.  

The first one is:– as you sit down to a delicious Easter dinner, surrounded by friends, family, pets in a warm dry space there are thousands of people who can’t.  In the Ukraine, people have lost their homes, family members, their livelihoods and fear looms over like a dark cloud.  4.5 million people have had to leave their homes and their country.  Perk on that for a moment.  

The second reason is that on April 12th  we have Jupiter and Neptune coming together in the sign of Pisces.  The last time this happened was 166 years ago!  Their meeting in Pisces is arguably the most intense energetic combination as Jupiter is considered the ancient ruler of Pisces and Neptune is considered the modern ruler.  

This energy combination is also a classic signature for spiritual awakening.

“All things in the spiritual realm can expand, flourish, and grow under this energy. We may even find ourselves exploring new understandings of life beyond life or connections with otherworldly beings. 

Under this energy, we may feel the desire to create deeper spiritual connections, and that inner divine flame that lives within may call out to us more and more.

On its highest vibration, Neptune is the planet of unconditional love and Jupiter is the planet of expansion. As they join forces, we can be reminded of our connection to each other, and the love that flows within and around each and every one of us. Rather than seeing division, we can see that we are connected, that we all deserve love, and that separation is just an illusion.”

Under this energy, the Universe will be offering waves of energy that support unity, coming together, and enhancing life on this planet for all.

The third and last reason is that it is the Full Moon in Libra. If there was a slogan for this Libra Full Moon it would be – “something’s gotta give.” It seems that wherever there has been tension, whatever has been pulled too tightly, is going to snap back, forcing us to make changes and to find a new way to harmony.

This Full Moon brings to culmination the intentions set back in October.  Where were you in October?  How were you feeling?  What did your heart desire?

One of the planets very active under this Full Moon is Eris.  “Eris is a powerful warrior that moves from her feminine instincts, not her masculine ones. Her warrior-like nature comes from her heart. She is the mother that can lift a car in order to save her baby. She is the witch that is strong and confident in her magic. She is the woman that owns her sexuality and knows she is desirable.

No matter our gender expression, when we work consciously with the energy of Eris, it helps us to embrace our darker feminine side, the side that is shunned by society the most.”

As Forever shares;

Allow the flame of your feminine power to be ignited under the magic of the Full Moon. Allow the warmth of this flame to remind you of the lost wisdom and magic that the feminine possesses. Allow the flame to rise, so you can bring a higher balance to the masculine and feminine energies that flow across the globe.

Now do you understand the intention behind the Healing Circle being on April 16th?  We can harness the power of the collective magic and we can harness the power of nature magic, as well as planetary.  

Ready to create some massive healing and support for yourself and others, I hope so?  

Okay, I have chuntered on enough, so let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to support, guide, lead and empower I laughed my soxs off.  Two decks decided to have a face off!  Positively perfect!  After all, who doesn’t need a blessing right now – and if you remember when you bless yourself or anyone it comes back to you threefold.  Blessings are incredibly powerful!

So gorgeous bean, breathe deep.  Take a moment to really come to your centre and then pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

A BLESSING OF THE SHINING ONES

The Faery gift so that you, too, shine with an inner radiance.

Let this gift from the Shining Ones bring you blessings of your own abilities to shine the world, beloved one.  

You are now given the gift from the realm where once the great Tuatha de Danann, the People of the Land, of the goddess Danu, the old faerie tribes of ancient Ireland, ruled and kept the balance of all things.

They bless you now with the gift you need most at this time.  Simply close your eyes for a moment, and see the glow, the radiance emitted by the energy within and all around you.

Now, see that shining self begin to grow stronger, and larger, and more visible to your spirit eyes.

With this gift, your radiance is strengthened, so that now you shine within the world, and can be seen, recognised, and offered good fortune and bounty.   Your light is a lamp for the world, and it is beautiful to behold.  

This time will bring unexpected kindnesses and easeful movement in achieving goals that are best for your soul, as well as a sense of being recognised and cared for by those who have that touch of shining blood within them, too.

Blessings of the Shining Ones, to you, friend.

A BLESSING ON YOUR HEALTH

A blessing to inspire the blossoming of great health within your life.

May you, friend, be blessed with a rising of your own personal vitality…may life force flow into every cell of your body, inhabiting each fully with the desire for life and the yearning for the full feeling of all that is here for you to experience.  

May the cells in the blood sing their song with joy at being here, and may your bones be strong, and whole, densely knitted in the joints to keep you upright, ever moving into the next step, a dance of love for the feeling of the world.  

May the muscles take shape and move with your form, and may there be flexibility and the great gift of movement for you.  May your organs do their holy work, and may the health of the mind, curious yet peaceful, awakened yet rested, be yours.  

May the energy that belongs to the hale be yours, and may your every footstep bring a little more vitality, a little more joy in movement, a little more of a blessing to simply be here, and in such good health.  

May you know peace within the temple of your body, and may a revival of energy be yours, like that of spring after winter, so you have a spirit shining with good health, the energy all about you radiant, an auric field filed with wellness, a field of energy you can drink from, and renew yourself, each day and night of this lifetime.  

May the blessings of good health and joy in your body be yours, and should it be challenged, may you rise and meet that challenge with courage, and security in the wisdom of your blood and bones, flesh and energy field, and may all that brings you wellness come to you again and again.  

A BLESSING OF THE SEELIE

The Faery Gift of the Benevolence of the Good Seelie Court.

A gift from the Seelie Court is yours.  The Seelie Court is a place where you are treated with courtesy and honour, respect and grace.  To be blessed by the Seelie is to have kindness enter your life.  This blessing from the Seelie Court acknowledges the courtesy and respect you have extended to others, and the kindnesses you have done, again and again, without thought for what you would receive in return.

The Seelie have been observing your goodness, and due to this goodness, you are now receiving a reward.  You will find consideration and empathy, understanding and rewards, when this blessing comes to you.  There could be a small windfall, a little extra of everything – so that, suddenly, it seems like the Universe is supporting you, and that what once was a struggle becomes easier.

In the old days, the blessing of the Seelie meant the cow’s milk was sweeter and more abundant, the grain grew high in the fields, and babes grew strong in days filled with gentle sunshine.  

For you, your tender plans and hopes will have every kindness to support them, as the blessing of the Court of the Seelie is yours, and with that, comes a time of grace and ease, compassion and flow.

A BLESSING ON YOUR BOUNDARIES

A blessing on your ability to decide where you end, and where others begin, on what you will do gladly and without regret, and what you cannot be compelled to do, for it would be against your own nature.

Within this lifetime, there will be times when you are unsure of what is most important, and what is best for you to do.  You will not be sure of why you wish to do something, and when it comes to others, especially others for whom we have strong feelings, it can be a challenge indeed to know what is best to do, and to know why we sometimes feel great misgivings when it comes to offering our time, our love, our money and gifts to another for their use.

With this blessing comes a certainty – that in this situation you will know the difference between what is best for you to do, and what another wants you to do.  

May  you be blessed with the sure ability to say no, quietly and without apology to the boss who asks for too much, to the partner who asks you to put your own needs aside for theirs.  

May it now be clear to you when a friend fails to listen and reciprocate, and when  you give, without being given to in return.  

May this blessing draw clearly the lines that mark out your own emotional landscape, and make a map of who you are, and where  you end, so that  you may know when others intrude into your space and mind, your heart and home, without invitation.

With this blessing of boundaries let there be respect, and consultation, and a renewed appreciation of your own needs and desires.  May this blessing give you the power to close a door, to open a window, to ask for help in return, and to support yourself by beginning to respect and acknowledge what it is you need.

And with this blessing, these powers you will now have.  

There we have it!  I love the cards that decided to come out and share.  I wish for you a Blessed Easter celebration, I hope you join in the Healing Circle and offer your healing and support to those in need, and remember – put your crystals out on the Full Moon and embrace the Neptune/Jupiter energy.  See you in a couple of weeks as Monday I will be playing with my family and dancing with the Spring flowers.  Massive hugs and squeezes.  May you be Blessed.  

What the heck is Oomancy?

Well, let’s start at the beginning.  Was it the chicken or the egg that came first? And what does “mancy” have to do with it?

Mancy come from the word-forming element of Greek origin meaning “divination by means of,” from Old French -mancie, from Late Latin -mantia, from Greek manteia “oracle, divination,” from mantis “one who divines, a seer, prophet.

Hence the suffix “Mancy” means – To Divine.

Some examples that you may know or heard of are:-

Tasseomancy – which is a divination or fortune-telling method that interprets patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediments. It’s amazing to do and gives you a fabulous reason to have a huge collection of different teas! (And who doesn’t love a nice cuppa!)

Chiromancy – which is divination by examination of the hand.  So in other words palmistry.    In Medieval times, those hunting witches using chiromancy looked for pigmentation spots on the hands, which signaled a pact with the Devil. I have had my palm read a few times and thankfully no pigmentation spots!

Lithomancy – which is divination with stones.  So if you have a set of runes that are carved into crystals, or beach rocks, that’s what you’re doing.  

Oneiromancy – which is where you use your dreams, the symbols and messages that come through to understand what is happening around you.

Cartomancy – divining the future with cards, whether they be oracle or tarot. In the 18th century, young women would apparently use cartomancy to learn the details of their own nuptials—including whom their future husband would be. 

The cart in cartomancy of course means “card,” and as the modern phrase tells us, if it’s in the cards, it’s inevitable.

There are so many various divination tools available to us at any moment, you just have to know how to read them.

For goodness sake, there is one called Spatulamancy.  What do you think that one is?

Spatulamancy – is divination by means of an animal’s shoulder blade, Spatulamancy involves examining the shoulder blade of an animal that has been cooked over a fire. Although we think of the word spatula as referring to a kitchen implement, the Late Latin word it comes from means both “shoulder blade” and “spoon.”  (This is one I have no desire to try at all!)

But let’s get back to talking about Oomancy.

Oomancy is the divination by means of eggs.  Yup, I said eggs.  Now I know you may be rolling your eyes, but stay with me.  

Eggs have been associated with spring and the birth of new life since long before Easter. 

In fact, in many mythologies, the egg is the primordial symbol. 

More than one mythology has explained the creation of the universe by saying that either it or the god who created it hatched out of an egg. (Where the egg came from originally is perhaps the first “chicken or egg” question.)

Perhaps because of these stories of everything coming from a primal egg, eggs have been used as fertility magic in many cultures. German farmers used to smear eggs on their plough blades to ensure a good crop. 

In France in the 1600s, it was the custom for a bride to break an egg when she first entered her marital home to ensure lots of children. And the Ainu women of Japan would collect eggs from wild bird nests and mix them with the seed to be planted in the fields.

Eggs have been used for divination  by being broken into water. The shape the white takes in the water is used to predict the future.  And believe me, there are books on all the symbols you will see.  

However, my favourite Egg Divination method for Spring Equinox or Easter is the amazing Egg Rolling Divination.  It is so much fun, you can do it with your kids, on your own, with friends.  

So come on over and give it a try. Post pictures if it is your first Oomancy experience!

And let’s be honest.  Who doesn’t like playing with eggs!  (Think about egg on spoon races, decorating for Easter, or if you were a rebellious teen – egging someone’s house!)

Enjoy

Worm Moon, Orcas and Seals, and Hippitty Hoppitty Bunnies!!!

Happy Magickal, Magnificent, Musical, Mischievous, Manifesting, March Monday!

How are you deliciously lovely? So much to explore with the shift in energy for April and the lovely Full Moon that happened yesterday and Easter!  However, first let me share about the huge pod of Orcas I saw this morning!

As I do every morning I go to the beach with the doggo.  So I got there bright and early and was walking along the beach reciting mantra and picking up rocks when all of a sudden I looked up and coming around the point was a massive super pod of Orcas!  (Apparently there was a plankton blush with the warmer weather) and they were majestic!  Undulating in and out of the water, blowing water up in the air – it was awe inspiring!  I mean seriously, how can you watch these majestic beasts and not be blown away?  Then all of a sudden as the last Orca rounded the point 4 HUGE sea lions slid off the rocky point and started attacking the last Orca!  I was gob smacked!  There was all sorts of noise, splashing bodies flipping up and around and tails smacking the water.  I have never seen the like!  Then weirdly enough within about 4 minutes it was all done and when I looked around the Orcas and sea lions had vanished, and the ocean was still.  

Wild right?  And absolute blarney – happy early April Fools Day!!!

Okay, I have to ask, am I the only demented one that loves April Fools day and likes to play practical jokes and little twists of the mind with people?  In my world, if it is harmless as long as no one gets hurt (possibly confused), then it’s all good.   When the kids were younger I altered all the clocks in the house by 2 hours and so the kids dashed to the bus stop and waited, and waited (as they were there 2 hours before a bus would be there.)  I will be honest, I let them wait for a good 30 minutes and when I pulled up in the vehicle they were highly concerned they had missed the bus, something had happened, where was the bus?  (I know, what a horrid mother I am).  So I explained to them what had happened, thanked them for the saran wrapped toilet and the salt in the sugar and we all went for a yummy breakie! 

Thus gorgeous one, Happy April Fool’s Day!  (Playing and laughing are so important, if you’re not doing it, then you need to start (just saying)).  Or come for a visit and we will make it gigglicious and glorious fun and hopefully see Orcas!

Yesterday was the glorious Worm Moon (isn’t that a great name?)

Do you know why it’s called Worm Moon?  The worm moon gets its unique name because earthworms begin to resurface at this time of year. It is also considered the last full moon of winter, but in 2021, it marks the beginning of spring.  Also known as Seed Moon and the Crow Moon, The Worm Moon is the time of growth, creativity, and inspiration. Falling after Ostara, the Worm Moon can also be a time for rebirth, or a time to picture that creative project you’ve been thinking about for months, or the new way you want to be in this world. On the Worm Moon, visualize your intentions and the outcome you’re searching for when it comes to that project and make plans for how to see it through.

So if you want to take some time to do a bit of releasing, and then visualising with inspiration and creativity, I highly suggest it (you still have time.)

This weekend is Easter and I love the fact that hot cross buns are out in all the stores.  I will confess, I have a “thing” for them, no clue why, but I really do.  I cut them in half, toast them and slather them with butter and then everything seems right with the world at that moment in time!  And I will be honest, I can eat a ton of them!  

So with no egg hunt in sight, jokes it is!

How do you make rabbit stew? Make it wait for 4 hours.

What kind of music does the Easter Bunny like? Hip Hop.

Why do we paint Easter eggs? Because it’s easier than trying to wallpaper them.

What do you get when you pour hot water down a rabbit hole?  Hot cross bunnies!

Why did the Easter bunny cross the road?  Because the chicken had its Easter eggs!

Hey, nowhere in this did I say they were good jokes lolol!  So how are you going to celebrate this Easter?  Time outside, visit with zoom time with family, a special dinner, a hike, relaxing and watching it all happen?

Okay, enough chuntering away about chocolate, eggs and hot cross buns, let’s get on with the reading. 

When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to share with you this week, I was delighted to see that the Earth Warriors Oracle guides were most adamant.  Now if these amazing guides are new to you, please let me introduce you to them (as it’s rude not to).

There is a river flowing now very fast.  It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.  They will try to hold on to the shore.  They will feel they are torn apart and will suffer greatly.  Know the river has its destination.  The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water.  And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate.  At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves.  For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.  The time for the lone wolf is over.  Gather yourselves!  Banish the word “struggle” from your attitude and your vocabulary.  All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.  We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

Woosah, breath that in.  We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.  

Okay gorgeous bean, let’s take a moment to just settle and BE.  Let your breath find it’s perfect path coming from the belly, not the chest and let your shoulders relax.  As you settle in, invite into your mind’s eye the energy of creation, rebirth, play and imagination.  Ask yourself what would best support you with those energies this week.

If you want to deepen it a bit there is a lovely wee guided visualisation for you.  

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that whisper in your ear, tug on your heart strings and trust your choice.  

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, yes?

Spirit of the Warrior

Though you yearn for peace, you recognise that, without truth, genuine peace can never be.  Even if it triggers an upheaval of transformation, the need to set things right is strong in you.  This is the inner drive of the spiritual warrior; the compelling soul needs to uphold truth, goodness and justice.  You will fight for these things because that is your way, Spirit Warrior.  Trust, see and feel the positive impact that you are making in the world.  You are relentless and the Divine is with you.

Do not give up,  If you feel hopelessness, despair, defeat or frustration, and you wonder if it is really worth it, place your mind in your heart and your heart in awareness of what it is that is inspiring you.  Do you feel alone on your quest?  Look for the legions of wings in spirit and upon the earth that fight alongside you, fearless and ferocious with love.  Be uplifted by your fellow Spirit Warriors, beloved one.  Feel the joy of their love and unity with you.  You have access to the divine power that conquers any obstacle, wins every battle, and secures every victory.

If a Spirit Warrior tries to fight from a place of despair and darkness, doubt and hate, the battle will become destructive to their soul.  When you fight for love from a place of joy, Spirit Warrior, the battle opens your beautiful fierce heart.  It uplifts your mind and empowers your soul with the might of divine grace that accomplishes all pursuits and wins every war.

Out of Darkness, the Light is Born

The light is powerful enough to survive exposure to the darker side of humanity and remain pure, empowered and effective.  Trust in your spiritual purpose as light in this world.  Trust particularly in your ability to bring purity, order; grace and light to disorder, chaos and destruction.  The Divine is ever by your side and ever within your heart, assisting you with this higher purpose in all ways.

All issues can be healed through the unlimited recourse and creative resourcefulness of the Divine.  You are destined to be part of the creative solution for any issue that you have in your life or that exists in the world and touches your heart.  The issue only exists so that divine genius can resolve it!  Struggles are sometimes the best way for us to learn something we need to understand for our life journey.  Trust that when you ask for help, even apparently impossible situations can be turned around.  With willing human engagement and divine grace, there is more than enough light, healing, creative innovation, wisdom and energy available to keep Mother Earth and all her creatures, including humanity, thriving.  Never give up your hope and trust in what is possible – nor your willingness to act upon that hope and trust.

Part of your spiritual path requires that you walk your talk and live in a way that shows optimism and practicality.  When something’s not working, we don’t need to hide from it in shame.  We face it because we have spiritual self-esteem and self-confidence.  Trust in divine timing, realising that there is far-reaching good about yourself and your presence in the world.  It’s not about being perfect, it’s just about taking that next step for you.

Stand in the Light

You are unique.  You are a divine and beautiful being.  You stand apart from the crowd.  Sometimes this evokes jealousy or desire in others who want to possess your light and beauty as their own.  You need never fear another or believe that they can harm you.  Allow yourself to be true to who you are.  Do not try to hide your inner light and beauty.  You are meant to be seen.  Your soul is nurtured and protected by your love for the Great Spirit.

Don’t avoid the spotlight or try to hide yourself nor dull your light to appease another or your own fears.  Your true inner divine light and beauty is meant to help others, and the only way that can occur is if you allow yourself to fully be and express it.  Do not shrink away from your magnificence when you feel challenged.  Instead step it up to an entirely new level of boldness!  You have a gentle nature, but you are strong.  If you have become obsessed with the beauty or power of another, it’s time to come back to  your own divine beauty, to unearth it, explore it, express it and let it shine.  Trying to blend in wild rain the energy from you.  LEt those who are attracted to your light adapt to your level of divine expression.  You are the benchmark, and they will evolve to reach you.

What nurtures and nourishes you, what feels good for your heart, body and soul, is also what protects you.  You actually don’t need to do anything else for effective protection than place yourself in the divine beauty of what you love absolutely and completely.  

Yes, yes, yes!  Glorious guides for this week.  So my delicious lovely, I wish for you daft pranks, laughter, connection and ease.  Have a wonderful April Fools Day and paint an egg for Easter (yes sharpies are included for painting).  Big hugs and squeezes, see you in a few weeks as I’m playing in the woods on Easter weekend.
