Forest Fires

Witches, Magic and Smoke!!

Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Magickal Monday! How are you delicious lovely? Did you have a splendid week? We have been living in what feels like very surreal conditions for the last week. There are so many forest fires burning around us that the sky has become a strange blanket of grey/white smoke for days! It feels like we are stuck inside some childs snow globe (except it would be a smoke globe), the sun can’t even penetrate the smoke to cast down her heat, instead she sits in the sky like a tiny orange dot. This is turn has created merry hell with things such as the internet, cell reception and all sorts of things. Thus, if you took advantage of the Eclipse Reading Offer (which does end at midnight today), and haven’t heard anything – don’t panic, with the intermittent internet coverage it has been like dealing with Mercury Retrograde on steroids! However, as Mercury has just turned direct I am hoping for better communications and some frigging rain!

It’s been interesting to see how this level of smoke has been affecting people’s energy and moods. There is a desire to sleep more (which is normal) and some people are exceptionally cross about the whole situation and will spend every minute ranting at whomever will listen about how unacceptable this is and how inconvenient. The fact of the matter is that it’s happening, it sucks, our firefighters are doing a stellar job, the helicopters are continually going over the lake scooping up large buckets of water, and hopefully we get rain and clearer skies. Spending my whole day fuming about it all isn’t going to change it, right? Funnily enough with all this fire around, the other night I thought it might be fun to bleach the tips of my red hair, so I slapped on some bleach and then got immersed in something else and forgot! 2 hours later (yes two hours) I quickly washed it off to find that my hair had gone golden, coppery, red and looked like a flame! (When mishaps turn into blessings – phew)!

In days of yore I’m sure people would have thought that “witches” (normally the wise woman of a village who worked with herbs and healing) had caused the wildfires to punish Farmer Brown for not selling her a pint of milk. Well we all know how that would turn out don’t we? Burning, hanging, drowning or being rolled down a hill in a barrel filled with stakes. (None of which sound very appealing at all to be honest!) In fact on this day in 1612 nine Pendle witches were hanged at Gallows Hill in Lancaster, England. The only witness to them being witches was a 9 year old boy! So that made me think that for me personally, the fact I talk to my plants, have crystals everywhere, read oracle cards, connect to the divine on a daily basis, celebrate the seasons, the moons, eclipses, use homeopathy and herbs as my first line of defense for ailments and illnesses, talk to the cat and dogs – you know the usual. I would most certainly be cast as a witch, (which in this day and age I am most proud of!). I think that’s why I like Tish Thawer’s quote from her book “The Witches of Blackbrook”, which says “We are the granddaughters of the witches you weren’t able to burn!” (Very apropo with all this smoke and fire around don’t you think?)

So with witches, wonderment and magic abounding let’s crack on with the reading. I was delighted to see that the lovely “Oracle of the Dragonfae” decided it was important to them to show up. Now, if you have never worked with these delicious guides let me share a bit about them. These guides are the magickal and mystical that weave through the threads of every day, they are the Dragonfae, Gods and Goddesses who dwelt in dimensional lands….Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu, they are Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin and others – fully alive and filled with magick! The crystals that came to play are Moonstone, Red Calcite and Red Jasper – yummers!!! As always, a Selenite wand for amplification and some lovely flowers and lemon balm from the garden. I did the reading outside (even if smokey) and added the smoke of my smudge to the sky……..

Okay, let’s take a glorious deep breath in through the nose and sigh it out through your mouth. As you exhale, feel within your body all the tension and the worry flowing out on your breathe. Breathe in again, gently roll your shoulders and when you feel that you are fully back in yourself. Ask your essence what question is burbling there for you. What do you need a little support or guidance with and with that held in your minds eye then pick the card or cards that resonate for you. Ready?

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go take a gander?

LADY LUNA’S MAGICK

You know that I shine upon this Earth and that we belong to each other. Yet you have disconnected, for all your knowledge, when only a few moments spent beneath my rays would cleanse your entire energy field, assisting you in shining your light at the full moon. And with my dark time, you may go within and find the secrets you have kept hidden from yourself and look at them without blame or fear. So I ask you now, as my moon Dragonfae fly about me, sending the energy ever turning, to connect with me, Lady Luna. When you do connect, you will be more complete and the yearning and sense of hopelessness that I feel from you from time to time will ease, be soothed and finally, dissolve.

Take my healing powers and light as yours: as they are. Reflect upon me and I will reflect upon you, and your dreams and visions will gain in strength, clarity and power, all the while keeping you safe and grounded. My light has shone over the Dragonfae, the magickal world, the beings you call human and all those of the animal and plant kingdom, the minerals, the dreams and the flowers and all are mine, and I am theirs. My light ran through the veins of your ancestors and they understood me better than you, for all your knowledge, sometimes do now. Please, let us be friends and companions once again. Do not be afraid of my light and my night time self, for you are the same as me and we are both older than time itself.

Learn your moon sign: this will give you many clues as to who you are at the core of your being, who you are under the layers and layers of (unmagickal) conditioning that can rub away and erode our natural intuitive abilities and magickal gifts.

CHENGUANG

I am Dragonfae, thus I am at once a being of copious laughter, and of earnest and deep study. Being Dragonfae, I know when to put aside my serious work and my mission, and play, laugh and love. I know the importance of devoting myself to the playtime that balances, soothes and heals my heart, and lifts the heaviness that sometimes accompanies my days. Can you do this? Or are you too caught up in being taken seriously? There is a perfect balance between serious, cosmic matters and playful light-heartedness to be found. Both Earth and star are necessary for all of us. We are indeed galactic beings ourselves. But most of all, your hope and optimism is paramount right now. Take heart, for delight and joy is yours.

You are about to experience a true reversal in your inner self: you will now think magickally and attain mastery of magickal consciousness. What you think, what you are manifests about you at all times: what you are now is the delicious light-hearted magickal being you were born to be. You are like a beautiful shining star; its light magikally transforming everything it touches. Rays of light beam out from you and your body is awash with healing green energy and fresh new life. You are dancing in the air, lifted up on the strength of your own experience and friendships, and you would do well to wear the divine colour violet, while the gentle zephyr helps your move in the direction of your dreams.

When we allow ourselves to shine we become who we were always meant to be; and by example we encourage others to become who they truly are. Drop the heavy nature of punishment, guilt and beliefs that no longer serve you. You are a powerful role model for others; you have experienced the joy of setting your sights high and the healing power of self-belief. You still have many experiences ahead of you on your journey, but this energy of the star is now your companion and your divine inspiration.

NIMUE

Between my two hands lies the power of all that is; the connections between the Earth and the stars, the realms through which you can move to bring about your deepest desires and dreams. But do you dare to dream it? Are you courageous enough to declare your desire? I can create, but I will not be brought froth when you do not have the fortitude to commit to your change. Make a commitment to thy own self now – she, who you truly are, is worth this trust, this pledge, this courage you must have to birth your own changing self. For I am gentle, but I too have no more time to spend if you wish to waste the jewels life has given you. I will turn away, because it may not yet be your time. Only you can say it is not so, and walk forth into your new self, with me as guide and light, with transformation as your nature, with your incarnation without material death as your truth.

Do this with me: Bless thyself. Love thyself. Know that you are beyond your own imaginings. Act this day, this hour, this minute, and change will flow. Do not hesitate. Be transformed now!

It is time for you to free yourself from the confines of others’ expectations and investigate other less conventional ways of making a living. You may be drawn to a particular crystal at this time, and may enjoy simply entering into more regular communion with the element of earth and its minerals. Wear jewellery that has been cleansed by you, and energised by you, and understand its significance and power for you. Make each piece you choose to wear a totem symbolising your own self, adorning and expressing who you truly are. Above all, the message of Nimue is to free yourself. Stop expecting others to unshackle the chains and force you to walk free. You, and only you, can remove that which is holding you back.

Delicious!!! Moon Magic (and inviting you to rediscover yours), Shining your gorgeous true being, Freeing yourself. All very amazing and powerful messages – are you listening? Sometimes we “think” we are paying attention, but not so much (I speak from experience on that one lol). A quick reminder that I will be taking a little break from public readings, from August 21st to September 17th. (I will still be doing private readings and coaching). If you want to take advantage of the Eclipse Reading Special it does close at midnight tonight. People have asked if they can take advantage of it, but do a reading later. You bet! For those of you who have signed up already I am tickled to be working with you and once we are over the hiccups of the smoke and dodgy services, you will be receiving your reading. Have a superb week, hydrate, laugh and take 5 minutes a day to daydream on your gorgeous path and desires. Huge hugs and squeezes. See you next week!

It’s a wild weather time! Weekly Reading July 17th.

Happy, happy delicious Monday! How are you gorgeous one? How was your week? Did you practice keeping cool, self care and playing? I hope so. It has been an interesting week here, forest fires seem to be everywhere and thousands of people are being evacuated so we are in a huge state of alert and depending on the winds we either have a smoke filled sky which makes everything hazy and the sun a deep orange, or we have clear blue and the sun baking down. My heart so goes out to all those who have been evacuated and have had to leave their homes behind. So I was thinking about this the other day as everyone I have encountered this last week has been itchy, bitchy, uncomfie and complaining about the heat (and it has been brutal) and the winds. However, I thought about our last winter and it was harsh as well, massive snow dumps to the point where you couldn’t drive, roofs were caving in and the clouds were so low they felt suffocating.

So it got me to thinking (as I tend to sometimes over do), the winter was harsh and dark, dark, dark and I watched people have an incredibly tough time with it – a lot of depression, hermiting, over eating and wanting to sleep for longer than needed, joy had seemed to have gotten buried under the piles and piles of snow. Yet we are feeling the counter side now, the heat, the intensity of what that can do, forest fires, devastation in some places and the need to get up early to find the cool spot, water, a flurry of activity early in the morning and then another in the cool-ish of the evening. What I came up with is the difference between dark and light. Finding the balance, embracing the sleep in the winter, the early mornings in the summer – the feeling the seasons and being aware of these things in ourselves. We can’t always be light, light, happy, and on show – if we did we would burn ourselves up. We need to step back, go into the dark and sleep, go into the dark and explore, yet don’t stay there. Does that make sense?

So with this wild weather I am not surprised that The Wild Kuan Yin Oracle wanted to come play! She takes the wild and connects it to the heart, so we can all play from our wild side with love and not the burning and destruction that can happen. It’s safe to let go fully and embrace yourself and the love that you have to pump! The crystals that bounced out to play are Bloodstone which is great for strength in new circumstances and mental clarity, Snowflake Obsidian which is a calming energy and helps with “wrong thinking”, Rhodonite, clears and activates the heart chakra. Oh yes and the lovely little flowers are from the watercress I am growing! (So proud as I have never grown watercress) and as a Brit, watercress, cream cheese and cucumber sarnies! Nom! Nom! Nom! Makes me feel that I am at an elegant tea party!

So with all that being said, let’s crack on with the reading. Honour yourself by giving yourself a moment or two (or longer) gently close your eyes down and just breathe, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, feel your feet on the floor or the earth, feel the whispers of air around you as you elongate your spine and neck. Just breathe, nothing else, just breathe and BE, breathe in – breathe out. When you feel in your body and connected to Earth and Divine, open your eyes and pick a card – or cards that call to you.

So let’s go have a look, shall we?

REMEMBER ME, THE DIVINE MOTHER WITHIN

From before you were born in this body, I have loved you and I shall continue to do so even after you cast aside your sacred body to pursue life beyond this physical world. I cherish you. I take delight in you. I believe in you. I will never leave you. I will never abandon you. I see the truth of you and I know you are worthy. No matter how strong and grown up you become, or how vulnerable and small you may feel, I love you, my own wild child divine. Trust in me, the Divine Mother within you. Life grows through me. You shall too, all the more so as you trust me unconditionally. Be comforted now my beloved one. I am with you always.

Sometimes we can feel alone, not quite sure where or to whom we may truly belong. Frightened and insecure, we imagine dark happenings or feel consumed with anxiety and doubt. Or perhaps we struggle to feel our feelings, and instead have symptoms of the feelings we cannot quite find another way to express. We cannot sleep, we cannot unwind and relax, we cannot quite feel safe or secure. So we worry about what others think of us or what they may say about us behind our back. Or we worry without knowing quite why we are feeling so uneasy. We find it hard to trust others or we find ourselves trusting others who are not worthy of that trust, and we end up feeling abandoned, hurt, disappointed or ashamed.

These are all signs that we are in need of re-connection to the Divine Mother within. If we have had a problematic relationship with mothering figures in our lives, then our relationship to the Divine Mother may also seem problematic. Yet the Divine Mother has no need to test us, to challenge us, forsake us for another, or judge us in anyway! Her need is to mother us. What that means is that she offers us enough sanctuary and unconditional love to feel safe enough to venture into life, to grow, to take risks and to truly do our best to live a full and authentic life. Life is an adventure rather than a terror to be confronted when inside us there is a secure feeling of being safe and loved, no matter what twists and turns the life journey shall take.

It’s time to lay down the old wounds or self-criticisms, judgments about yourself or those of others. You don’t have to earn love and affection, you just need to open your heart and allow yourself to give it freely. You are capable of growth. You have within you enough energy to hold whatever it is you are desiring. Have faith. Trust in the ability you have to mother yourself and your dreams into life. This is a big YES from the Divine Mother. Divine Mother has heard your request and is assenting. She says yes and any further clarity and assistance you need will come to you at the best tie and in the best way.

HER JOY RENDERS THE IMPOSSIBLE TASK POSSIBLE

There is something you are meant to do. You’ve been growing towards it your entire life. All your life circumstances, lessons and situations have been teaching you valuable skills and wisdom’s so that you are equipped for the tasks demanded by your divine destiny. You may know clearly what those tasks are, or they may as yet be a mystery to you. You may not be a big picture person, preferring to focus simply on accomplishing the many smaller tasks before you each day. However, all those smaller tasks have prepared you for a bigger journey of passion and purpose.

For you to take this next step, whether it feels like the leap that will launch your destiny into an entirely new level of manifestation, or whether it just feels like the next step on your journey, you are being guided. You must let go of doubt, fear, hesitation, judgement and control. Now that is no small task! You must allow Joy to be your safety net, your attitude, the feeling by which you are guided and the basis for your decisions. Bliss, happiness, joy – these are high frequency, high states of being which cannot be contrived and yet, are not dependent on our life circumstances. To learn to feel joy in our hearts, without having to have a particular reason for it, is the beginning of access to great spiritual power. Come into your heart and in that journey, we discover a kind of freedom of spirit, a place within where joy can happen; spontaneous and unbridled.

You are being called to that place. It is simple but profoundly high in frequency. The Divine can work very easily with a human being in that state because nothing is resisted. There is no coaxing or cajoling, analysis or procrastination, over-thinking or fearful acting out that drains energy and slows down the manifestation process. There is just presence, and life can happen with utter immediacy. There is nothing that is impossible. Approach your decisions from a place of joy. Remain open in your heart and mind, and the Divine Mother shall orchestrate this offering according to the perfection of her joyful grace. Trust, play and reach for Joy!

TENDER TRUST, BELOVED BODY

I have so much that I want for you. I want you to experience all that life has to offer. I want you to see your dreams coming alive in the world. I want you to feel at home here upon earth, and to realise you have come here not only to serve, but to take delight, to become alive, to exercise your power of choice to manifest a destiny that is brilliant and beautiful and perfectly suited to you. So I have given you a sacred animal, a devoted body that has offered its entire life in service to your soul growth. This is a precious gift and one worthy of respect. When you love this sacred animal, and let him/her love you in return, your body and soul become as one, a divine wild love child of life.

The Divine Mother is bringing you something special – it may be an experience, a relationship, a spiritual or material gift, an opportunity, or any combination of these things. If you have been wondering if something you have dreamed of can come to life, can be made manifest in the physical world Yes! Be present to recognise and receive the gifts and opportunities that are rightfully yours. Take time to be open and connected to your physical body and the physical reality you can experience through being connected to your body. Look around you. Feel what is happening within you and around you too.

You are at a point on your journey where something in the spiritual realms wants to come to life in the physical world. There is an inspiration, idea or plan that is ready to take form, to take shape, to become more than a fantasy and become a living reality. Your body is like a holy instrument through which the sacred breath can flow and create sound. It is the vehicle through which the inspiration can become a manifest reality.

If you have struggled with body image, eating or health concerns, a resolution will come. You need to heal the relationship between you and your body so your dreams can manifest more often and with greater pleasure on your part. Why not give up trying to punish, push or force your body, or control and dominate her with your mind. Explore and find a way to relate to your body as a friend. Your body loves you.

Mmmmm, that was a delicious reading. Trusting the Divine Mother without and within, tapping into Joy and embodying it! Hell to the yes! So gorgeous one, wishing you a beautiful week, remember it is New Moon coming up and a gorgeous time to plant your seeds of intention or just give the seeds you planted before a big dose of attention and watering. Take some moments this week to just slow down, look up and around, breathe and smile. You’ve got this and life is absolutely delicious! See you next Monday!
