Hunter Moon, Witches, Wishes and Stretching the Comfort Zone.

Hello gorgeous, gorgeous lovely! Happy Marvelous, Magnificent, Magnanimous, Momentous, Mystical, Merry, Manifesting Monday! How has your week been? How are you feeling? This week has been amazing, challenging and so many cool synchronicities and places of connection as I really stretched my comfort bubble. But more on that in a bit. Today, we are celebrating my lovely 4th child (in case you are a tad gobsmacked, I do have 5). It is his 19th birthday today and I have to say he is growing into such an amazing, caring, clear young man.

If you remember, every month we have talked about a theme and the theme for October is “Taking Inventory”. This is where we all really look at ourselves, our resources, our relationships and really see where they fit, if they fit and what can we possibly shift and change a bit. Within this theme are peak times and a bit more “introverted” times. With the upcoming Hunter Moon on Wednesday the 24th the energy is more inward, a little lower. Thus, if you have been feeling a tad lethargic, more reflective or wondering why you aren’t bustling around like a mad fiend, don’t fret.

This glorious Full Moon is in Taurus and the invitation is to get really grounded, calm, centred and solid. (Think of Taurus the Bull). It’s a stabilising, strengthening moon and one to help with discovering what our triggers and our weak spots are. It’s also a time of self care and nourishing yourself first and foremost, so that you can nourish others and your dreams. Yes? So remember on Wednesday to take at least an hour for yourself and do something that makes you feel really alive, vibrant but also grounded – kind of like a calm, strong touchstone. For me it is most certainly getting out under the gorgeous leaves (whilst they are here), walking and just exploring, then finding a luscious spot on a mossy rock, or a chunk of driftwood and breathing in the space and the energy around me. (So guess what I will be doing?) Full Moons are also a glorious time of release and an easy way to do this is take some time, light a candle, write down the things you would like to release and if you find that challenging then just doodle on a piece of paper trusting that mother earth will guide and support what you need to release, even if you aren’t sure of what it is. Then burn it! Yes, burn it! If you need a bit clearer outline of how to do this at Full Moon time I have you covered!

This last week I made a commitment to myself to streeeeettttcccchhhh my comfort zone somewhat. As an intuitive, introvert, empath (if we are using labels), I can often hermit a tad and as glorious as that is because that quiet, solo time is my nourishing time. It is also important to expand that bubble a bit. So that was what I did this week! If I was going somewhere that was under 5km I would walk it, just so that I could see places, things, people and flowers that I hadn’t seen. Within the first day I noticed that people didn’t really look at each other as they passed by, so I made it my mission to smile and say hi to everyone I passed! The first day or so not much of a response, but by yesterday I would say I had a 90% response rate! Whoot!

I went and did a workshop of landscaping with native plants and I did a very cool alliance workshop where 24 organisations and institutions had got together to work for the higher common good. Now for a lot of people these may seem rather mundane, but for me they weren’t. Why? Being in a room of 40 or more people that I don’t know, exploring deep social issues that I feel are important – such as social isolation, mental wellbeing, homelessness is fabulous, but for me also rather intense as I will always show up in that kind of space – open, present and willing to show up and I have to remember to zip my energy up so I can do that without taking on all the energy of everyone else.

On Saturday I went for an explore on foot (and by the way I am averaging 14km a day!) The sun was shining, I had just voted (as we had a municipal election) and it took far longer than I thought it would as I got quite exuberant and filled in too many boxes. Thus, when they processed my ballot they sent me back to do another one. I had to laugh as to me it was like being back in elementary school and told to colour within the lines. Anyhow, as I was exploring various areas I walked down this street and saw the most bizarre “yard sale” going on. It was very eclectic and there was a sign that said “Everything a dollar, but there’s a free table over there.” I glanced at the free table and noticed there were 3 humongous pottery planters all planted up, kind of tucked underneath. Have to say my eyes lit up at that! There was an older woman with silver hair standing with her back to me and as I said “Excuse Me” she turned around and I grinned like a mad fiend. She was wearing a black hoodie with one of my favourite sayings on it:- “We are the granddaughters of the witches you couldn’t burn.”

A slight shiver went up my the back of my neck as I asked about the planters. Originally I thought I could take out whatever plants they were and replant, but as I looked closer they were all filled with the most amazing herbs. Herbs for tea, herbs for healing, herbs for cleansing. These were “witches” planters! This woman’s face lit up like a sunbeam when she saw me and she started chortling away – “Let me guess, you want to ask about the planters?” We had the most bizarre and interesting conversation that felt like when I would talk to my Great Aunt. I felt seen, valued, and those pieces that I often hide under a mask where tenderly invited out. The bottom line was I got all 3 humongous “witches” planters for $3.00. I quickly walked home, grabbed my truck and booked it back to load them up (as they were far too heavy to carry). Later on that day all the kids that are here and kids that aren’t mine loaded up in the truck and drove up the peninsula to a glorious farm where we spent a good hour or so wandering through plumpkin patches and finally picking our own pumpkin for Halloween/Samhain out of the field. It was sooooo much fun, so now we have 9 huge fat orange plumpkins waiting to be carved next week. An hour or two skipping stones on the beach together and gathering treasures, shell pieces, cool rocks, driftwood. It was delicious.

So what have all these things got to do with one another? I perked this yesterday as I walked and chatted with random strangers. Community, connection and realising that we all need to be seen, heard, valued. Again, you may think that is rather mundane, but for a lot of people it is something that they long for or hope for, it’s a delicious bite of sanctuary. So here’s my call to action, or invitation for you. As you go about your day smile at everyone even if they don’t return it. Take a different way to work. Stop and just talk to someone. Stretch your comfort zone, even if it is only for 5 minutes and welcome someone else into that spot. Truly look at another human being and without judging how they are dressed, what they believe in, how their hair looks – send them a blessing. A gentle wish for well being, peace and knowing they are loved and valued. Are you willing to play?

Okay, I have rambled on long enough, sorry. Let’s get on with the reading. With the glorious Full Moon almost upon us and Samhain/Halloween, just around the corner (one of my most favourite celebrations by the way). When I asked which lovely cards wanted to come teach and guide us this week it was most interesting to see that the Oracle of the Shapeshifters were front and centre. Have you ever met this deck before? Let me share something with you that kind of encompasses the energy of this deck. “It doesn’t happen all at once, “ said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time are Real, most of your hair has been love off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” – The Velveteen Rabbit. In other words – All meaningful and lasting change starts first in your imagination and then works its way out.

When I asked the crystals who wanted to participate it was nooooo surprise to me that Moonstone came out front and centre, as well as Cinabrite. Thus, there is Moonstone, Cinabrite and Black Moonstone.

So are you ready? Breathe into your body, fill the corners of your belly the sides of your toes and the back of your calves and then exhale it as a train out of your mouth. If you would like a lovely guided visualisation with a blessing to mull daily, feel free. If not, centre, ground and think about the full moon and what you want to release, think about community and connection and what that means to you, and think about how does it feel to be calm and grounded as the wind starts to whip your hair up. Breathe into that space and when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

So are you ready?

Let’s see who wants to support you this week.

DRAGONLING GARDEN

Dragonling is the faery caretaker of the newborn dragons. Her garden is their nursery, their safe place, where they first meet nature, flowers, bees, butterflies, shapeshifters, faeries, animals, and now….you.

In a new world we will live together – the fae, as am I; the animals who gather about the newborn one in the magickal grove; and you, a child of the New Earth. This grove is a womb, Nature’s sacred temple of the Goddess and God, and in this place we are caring for the newborn magickal ones – and witnessing the return of the dragons. All that we feared lost from the world is returning; all that we thought impossible to hope for has come back to us.

The whole world is singing, is in love, because the rebirth of magick is taking place. We cannot live without magick. The dragons, the trees, the animals, the fae, and the humans must – somehow – learn to live together. Now that the dragons have entrusted their babes to us, we know the world can be rebirthed too. You have come through this time of hardship, and you, like the entire planet and all of her creatures, are reborn. Rejoice in this great blessing! They have come back to you! Sing your joy to this world – you feel the happiness of Gaia’s heart, hear the bells ringing out at every birth, and know once again that you live in the times of legend.

You have claimed your place in the world, reborn and tender, yet strong and honorable. You now must shift the focus from the self lone into the we, the us, the bond between all. You will not lose yourself again, as you once thought you would. You must shift the focus from the old self – for that self has fallen away and died, and here you are anew. If you shift the focus from the old self and the thousand petty worries and complaints that you can conjure, you will be of service. You will do kind things. You will be cared for. There is no further need to worry – only to live well and in kindness, serving something greater.

POE’S BRAVE FLIGHT

Most of us are encouraged to stay safe, to avoid what may hurt us, and thus we shrink, day by day. Many religions and cultures have supported this notion of staying safe above all other enterprises for over two thousand years. They have encouraged us to feel separated from a place of beauty and peace called Heaven, suggesting again and again that we have been punished, because we are here on Earth. We fear pain and feel guilt when we experience suffering: We must have created it. But the truth is that simply by being alive, you will be challenged. The truth is, you have chosen to come here, to evolve. And your best opportunities for learning and being taught great lessons lie in the moments others call painful. Whatever frightens you now is exactly that which you must do. The truth is, as Poe is demonstrating, the humblest creatures – even the pigeons – can fly high and far, and have much to teach and show us. By taking that chance, by doing something outside of what we consider to be safe, we will learn and be blessed with the experience of divinity on this planet.

You are going to be offered a chance to do something out of your normal reality, and instead of thinking it through, again and again, and analysing its risks until you are immobilised, Poe’s Brave Flight asks you to take the suggestion of another and fly high. There will be a message that comes to you via a text or an email, and it will be up to you whether you respond – or whether you ignore the call. This could be a trip where air travel is involved, or an experience where you will have to take some chances and be uncertain of what will happen. You must allow uncertainty to enter your life – because your life is being slowly killed by safety. Take the chance: Travel, explore, and overcome a fear of flying – all will be worth it, for you will discover something wonderful about yourself in return. You are brave and capable of greater things!

A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE WORM

This Beautiful little worm may seem very humble and unimportant, but he can teach you about caring for that which seems insignificant or a little strange, yet so very loveable. Many people find you strange, and you often think that no one cares, but you are important, and there are people who love you very much. This creature will give to you genuine care. He will encourage you to rest; to exercise regularly, gently; to be very kind to yourself; to check on your resources and know what you have and where you may need to build up supplies. And he will help you organise your space at home, so all is not a frantic blur of homework and assignments and the pressure of keeping up, and you will have somewhere to escape and relax. There you can have your own rose, your own space, away from the stresses and demands of school, work, and even close friends. This creature may be vulnerable but, like you, worms are intelligent, alert, and very able. Most of all, they are love, and they are important. At this time you will be helped by having a safe place to be, and you’ll feel still, calm, and quiet, even if those around you are going a little crazy!

When you are going through deep change, you often are more vulnerable than at other times. The process of change can take a great deal of your available energy, and while you may feel well and know you can get through it, at times something – a psychic dagger thrown by someone who feels rejected by your change, a bug who nestles into the hole left by your weakened immune system, or simply old negative patterns – takes its last stand, as it knows you are ready to move on and tries to stop you.

At these times it is very important to treat yourself as the most precious, gentle extension of divinity. It is time now to rest, to give yourself permission to sleep more, to eat only the best foods, and to make things easy for yourself, just for a few days. Choose a beautiful place to rest and recuperate. Cocoon and comfort yourself for a time.

This is a time of restoration, and you must slow down, wrap yourself in a metaphorical cuddly blanket, and drift, just for a time. It is now time for you to experience the solace you wish for, to take very good care of your beautiful self, to slow down, and to heal in a safe environment you give to yourself. It is time to remember how loved you are, and that there are people and beings (including magickal beings) who truly watch over you and care. Remember to treat yourself with love and tender compassion, and others will follow. Before long, thanks to the comfort you’ve given yourself and the time out, your energy will resurge again, vital, flowing, bright, and quick, after this time of gentle sleep and rest.

Ahhhhhhh, Holy Hannah that was delicious. For those of you who have asked, I do the reading, without knowing the reveal. I then write and then I do the reveal to myself and to you and somehow, someway it all ties in. The Full Moon of self care, the willingness to step outside the comfort zone, the willingness to look at yourself as part of community. Awesome. So my delicious lovely, with the Full Moon almost here. I wish for you a week of self care, release and gorgeous big fat orange plumpkins! We get to explore Samhain next week – whoot! Whoot! Remember to breathe, smile and know that you are blessed, loved and cherished. Huge massive plumpkin coloured hugs!

First Monday of August, the Energy has Shifted and another Eclipse on the Way!

Jenny Heston · 6:00 am ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal Marvelous First Monday of August! Here in BC it is a lovely Civic Holiday so a day when lots of people have been enjoying a delicious, lovely long hawt, hawt weekend. I personally spent yesterday going up and down a ladder 256 times in the day in 40C weather, (have to say my left arse cheek was exceptionally sore by the end of it all lol). Why? I spent yesterday putting up rafters and huge sheets of plywood on the roof of the large workshop/shed I’ve been building as I want it finished! (I get a tad myopic on projects some times).

So at the beginning of the month we always talk about the “energy” of the month, why? The energy of the month is what flows and weaves through each day, then layered on top of that or woven into it are the energies of the seasons, the celebrations, the eclipses and of course the New and Full Moon.

If you remember, July was all about “Mature Responsibility in Unpredictable Times”, June was about “Discipline and Follow Through”. Well August is all about “Creative Pragmatism” what does that mean?

As Lena shares – “August is a complex month supporting you to think outside the box. We have an opportunity for new creative insights, help from unexpected sources, and a new determination to step forward and show up with choices that are mature and practical. Your experience this month will be much more positive if you keep your eyes on your own goals, stay in your own lane, and don’t get distracted by the accidents and drama you may see around you on the side of the road. The questions to ask yourself over and over again this month are, “Is it creative enough, or is it the same old way of thinking?” “Is it practical and grounded?” “Am I staying in my own lane, or am I getting sucked into a drama that is not mine?” “Am I keeping good boundaries? To read more, please check out Lena she is amazing!

So the questions she poses are fabulous questions to ask yourself!

Floating over this monthly energy is the upcoming Partial Solar Eclipse on Saturday August 11th, this is the 3rd one in a month! (How are you doing with it all?) Remember, that eclipse time is about bringing things to light and we have had a lot brought to light, however, with it being a solar eclipse this is more internal, this is deep and waiting to be brought out to the light. Please remember with 3 eclipses in a row “Ready or not, the winds of change are blowing. Eclipses bring the unexpected, forcing us into action. Repeat after me: Change can be a good thing.”

So a note here – for those who are part of our amazing community there will be an email coming out to you on Friday with great information on how to really harness and relax into this big energy shift (oh yes and stay relatively sane lol). Also, as so many of you have asked for readings with all this “stuff” swirling around and you want to gain more clarity and direction, I want to make this easy and accessible for everyone. Thus, as an offering and an appreciation, from 10th of August to the 24th of August I will be offering 20% off a personal reading, but you will hear about that on Friday. Yes?

Okay, so let’s crack on with the reading. I took the time to sit outside today to write and do the reading and it was gorgeous. The sun was shining, the plethora of sunflowers that the birds seeded, were all bobbing their glorious heads and tracking the sun. I had a huge crow and her two large babies come and land on my table and cock their heads and watch me for a few minutes and the humming birds and bees buzzed around frantically through the various flowers gathering the pollen. It was positively the most perfect place to be at that moment in time.

When I asked the cards and crystals who wanted to come out and shine brightly I laughed with delight when The Divine Circus Oracle sauntered her way out of the decks, strutting her stuff and giggling. Of course, in this eclipse energy and the Fire energy of Early Summer life becomes a Circus. If you have never encountered this gorgeous deck, please, let me introduce you. “This deck is for those who find it hard to follow rules, conform, bend to authority and generally do what they are told. May your rebel heart always be bold. May your spirit always be free. May you remember to live the Divine Circus and have fun doing things the way you aren’t supposed to, whilst living your most creative and unique divine destiny. “

Then it was fascinating to watch which crystals stepped up and for the first time EVER all three are Amethyst, all in different forms. Hmmm. Why? Amethyst is a wonderful crystal of protection, prosperity and for helping you manage your emotions so that you can take right action. Well that actually sounds perfect! There is also a glorious Selenite wand for amplification. Oh yes! And the flowers, there was a bit of a conversation going on between the flowers and the herbs, so they reached a compromise. Hummingbird flowers came to join along with lemon balm (which has been eaten, nom!)

I also crafted a fun guided visualisation based on sunflowers (which make me smile), if you feel so inclined, to help you really get rooted and reach for the sun. If that doesn’t resonate for you just breathe into your body, give everything a wiggle and slow your breath down and invite your trusted wise self to have a moment to surface and ask what it is you need to know.

So are you ready?

Shall we go have a little peak?

JOKER IS WILD

The Universe has a sense of humour, but never at your expense. It is laughing with you, not t you. You’ll see this for yourself as the Joker weaves her magic in your life, bringing you the grace that is beyond all reason, the necessary ingredient to ensure you win with the hand you have been dealt by life. There’s nothing impossible when the Joker appears. Her wild ways can transform a losing streak into a lifelong love affair with lady Luck.

Strap yourself in and prepare for the ride of a lifetime. The Joker has come to you and the Joker is wild. Unpredictable and brilliant, she brings you a message. You are being empowered to overcome all odds. So you are going to win. No doubts, no dramas, but not necessarily in a way that you expect either! She is sending the best possible situation to you even now. It might startle you, like a sudden light in the middle of the night, but it will be welcome nonetheless.

You probably won’t see it coming. It will probably be in a way that subverts everything you once believed to be true. But it will be a welcome trick by the Universe, a loving joke that opens your heart and helps you realise that this vast impersonal universe personally knows and cares for you, so intimately and with such meticulous care. Just don’t expect to feel in control of the process, for the Joker is wild and moves according to her own genius, but always blesses you with what will work best, beyond compare, now and always.

RED COUNTESS

Deep within, you know what is true and what to do (or not do). Yet there is so much noise and distraction in the world, and even at times in our own minds, that listening for our inner wisdom can seem like trying to hear gentle birdsong in the midst of a rock concert. Even so, you are hearing an inner truth, and deep down, you know it. Can you trust that it is safe to not only hear your inner voice but act on it too?

There is something that you know. You’ve felt, sensed, heard or realised this truth more than once. Even if others see or feel differently, you just know what you know, even if you don’t quite know how you know it!

Give your truths value. Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense. Know that they’re worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying. If you cannot figure out what your inner truths are, or you feel confused by conflicting thoughts and feelings, torn between head and heart, then you are in a state of information overload. You need to switch off, discharge some excess mental and emotional energy and take a break. Give yourself some time out from the crazy noise and constant distractions of the world so you can get in touch with what is true for you.

WHITE DUCHESS

Don’t look to what has been to find your destiny. Your future is bright and blessed. If the pain of the past feels a little too close for comfort, White Duchess steps in to help you leave behind the emotional storms of your past and move into her protection. A time of transition is upon you and soon your feet shall settle upon sacred ground, and calm shall prevail, inside and out.

Are you one of the many suffering in a dark and stormy inner world of post-traumatic stress? Do you believe that because there have been struggles in your past, and perhaps at times even great pain, that this is how your future shall be too? Or perhaps you have been striving towards a dream and it seems so long since you began that you are losing hope of ever breaking through into successful fulfilment and a new life.

Don’t look back. Let the past be put to rest. Whatever has haunted your dreams, whatever has caused turmoil is over. It is not needed anymore. There is a future destiny calling to you now. It is time to transition through into a new world, into your new life. Trust her and believe in the positive power of your future.

Have I said I love the cards? So let me see – as we move into the energy of “Creative Pragmatism” and another eclipse the Joker is Wild surfaces inviting you to trust, release control and allow what happens to happen (as it is for your highest good). Then we have the Red Countess – who is inviting you to play with this solar eclipse energy and allow what is hidden deep down, that you know to come to life. The White Duchess – is inviting you to release the known and the struggle and to trust in change. Remember we just talked “Ready or not, the winds of change are blowing. Eclipses bring the unexpected, forcing us into action. Change can be a good thing.”

So I do feel compelled that I should clear something up. A while ago I had a reader email me asking “if I sifted through a deck, picked the cards I thought might work and then wrote to the cards, subbing in what needed to to make it all aligned.” Good question, however, to be honest I was appalled and gob smacked!

That would never even occur to me to do. So I shared with this lovely humanoid my process – I start writing the preface whilst surrounded by all of my decks and crystals and then decks and crystals make themselves known. I then smudge everything, get very grounded – open myself up to Spirit and become a conduit and the reading happens. The reason I share this story, is please don’t ever doubt yourself, your gifts or the messages (however they come to you). With this glorious sun energy, fire energy (remember that is about Passion) and all the rest of it. Step up, don’t doubt and shine gorgeous one. Shine. Huge hugs and squeezes and see you next Monday or earlier if you are signed up to receive emails. Have a fabulous week!

The Eclipse is Past and Lammas is coming!

Jenny Heston · 2:25 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal Monday! How are you feeling with the Full Lunar Eclipse just having happened? Remember this energy isn’t just for that one day, it will be burbling along for a couple of months (yes, I did say months). So remember to continually come back to your intention and to watch where your thoughts go. If you find your mind wandering down the dark alleyway of fear and limiting beliefs, entice it back out into the open with a cooling ice cream! Yes?

We have had unrelenting heat for the last 2 months and I have to admit it is getting a bit wearing. Don’t get me wrong, I love the sun, but when it’s 100F day in, day out it makes it draining to do things out doors (and that makes me grumbly and grumply lol). Although, yesterday I did spend 8 hours putting sheathing up on the workshop I’m building (which is looking like a tiny home) and figuring out the roof pitch and rafter cuts, so that was quite satisfying. However, with the heat I was a puddle of a person with gobs of sawdust stuck all over me, so a cooling shower and an iced glass of lemonade was quite refreshing.

August is rapidly approaching which means on Wednesday we get to welcome in and celebrate Lammas! Whoot! Whoot! (Note I said Lammas and not Llamas, although if you feel inclined to celebrate Llamas go for it). Lammas is the first Harvest Festival of the year, it is a time of awareness that the strength of the Sun (Lugh) is beginning to wane and there is a shift and change afoot. Active growth is slowing down and the darker days of winter and reflection are gently and slowly raising their heads. I love Lammas as it’s such a glorious celebration of food, first harvest and gathering. If you have no clue what I am talking about and what to find out more and learn an easy abundance charm for this time, I have you covered here.

Now enough chuntering from me, let’s crack on with the reading. With the Eclipse just past and all of us in this time of transformation and change, it was no surprise to see that the Oracle of Shadows and Light were adamant to come out to play. Now, if you have never encountered these gorgeous, quirky guides before let me share with you. These lovely guides ask you to step out from the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and to consult with an oracle that acknowledges your individuality and strange genius!

The crystals that chose to join us are:- Black Moonstone, Shadow Quartz and Mystic Merlinite.

So let’s get comfie in our bodies and present. Take some nice deep breaths, slowly in through your nose and exhale out through your mouth. Bring to the forefront of your being any question that you would like support with, whether it is pertaining to yourself, a situation, a dream or a desire. Then breathe into it for a few more breaths and then pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

A CLOCKWORK PUMPKIN

Notice the bright bulb inside this Clockwork Pumpkin – you are about to have an amazing moment, a brilliant insight, and a very illuminating idea! Action must be taken immediately, while the idea is fresh and new. No more procrastination – follow the ah moment with action, and watch amazing change in the form of abundance, creativity, and satisfaction take place in your life!

I may look a strange muse, a clockwork pumpkin accompanied by a beautiful girl, but have no doubt: I am the new idea, the epiphany, the moment of clarity when the seeming chaos of life suddenly rearranges itself into a brilliant opportunity. You are about to be presented with such a golden idea that I want you to be ready. It may come from within you, or it may come from outside of you, but you have drawn it to you with the power of attraction and manifestation, and it is an idea that will bring you great riches of the body, mind and spirit. It is time to activate your own brilliant abilities and become the abundant, enriched being you were born to be!

We are so pleased to have found you – we have waited for exactly the right being to take on this idea and bring it to life within the world. It has evolved out of time, out of space, and is perfect for you. It may be a song, a project, a new job, a relationship – its form is fluid, but its time is now, and you are the person chosen to bring it through. Cosmic duty it may be, but joy and love it will bring, as well as abundance and true happiness!

LADY WITH A BOSCH EGG

The Lady with the Bosch Egg is the one in this lifetime who has been chosen to keep safe, and sometimes keep secret, deep esoteric knowledge. Through history’s most troubled times, there have always been courageous beings ensuring that sacred knowledge was kept alive. Even though the world may burn, and disasters befall humanity, and wars take down cities, there will always be those brave souls who will take the knowledge, represented by the Bosch egg, camouflage it, and keep it safe so that at a later time, when the world is finally ready, we can all learn.

I hope you that you understand the history of the knowledge you crave, and respect and acknowledge the freedom of the times you now live in, and do the work yourself. It may be that at some time you too will find my egg and that you are the person chosen to speak of the knowledge others thought was lost. Or it may be that you too are a guardian of wisdom: if you are, know when to keep silent, know what to keep to yourself, and know that some secretes come to light at the right time. I bring you now the symbols of the alchemist, the secrets of the Gnostics, and the wisdom of the magicians and the witches and the herbalists….all saved for this time, in this strange form of egg.

It may feel to you that you are receiving wisdom from ancient sources and that some of its energy may feel unfamiliar to you, even dark. It is likely that you are receiving messages from times when people like you, misfits and mystics, were oppressed and punished for their natural gifts. Explore at this time something to do with the Renaissance, or medieval times, and understand that the knowledge was brought through to you, a very fortunate being living in very fortunate times. Learn all you can. Explore esoteric symbology, the history of magick, and spirituality.

CANDY CANE ANGEL

The Candy Cane Angel is in charge of letting you know when it is time for some little luxuries that will reconnect you with your self-love and self-worth. She, too, holds back from giving to herself, as she is such an earnest and industrious little angel – but her message is always clear; it is time for some fun!

As she says clearly to you “You know what my problem is? And you know what your problem is? No? Well, let me tell you. Our problem is that we both feel guilty about giving ourselves pleasure. See this little treat in my hands? It’s not bad, is it? It’s not evil, is it? But can I bring myself to just sit down and taste every moment of its sugary sweet delights? No. I have to wonder if it’s the right time. If I have done enough to earn this treat. To wonder why I should get this when so many do not have a single candy cane for their own selves! I torment myself with these things – and so do you!

How about we make a deal? Next time you ponder a gift to yourself: a massage, a treat, a spiritual workshop, a delicious meal, time to laugh with a friend, a long rest or nap, meditation time, a space clear…..know that when you energetically tell yourself “I am way too busy for that indulgence,” you are really saying, ‘I do not deserve that!’ Well, let’s decide that you do! I am about to have my treat. I now charge you with the same quest. Give yourself that which you have been denying yourself. You do deserve it!”

Do not rationalise or talk yourself out of it any longer. Step out of the consciousness of lack and into the consciousness of “I deserve,” and grant yourself this lovely moment of luxury. It’s time for some joie de vivre and enjoyment to restage a grand entrance into your life!

I love it! Action, Learning and Treating Yourself! So delicious lovely I wish for you a marvelous week, remember to take a moment on Wednesday (Lammas) and give yourself the gift of the Abundance Charm (it’s good fun to do). Remember too, if you still feel a little off kilter with the eclipse energy, that’s okay. Be gentle with yourself and keep bringing your focus back to your desires, not your fears. Have a wonderful week, drink water, laugh tons and take time daily just for you. Huge hugs and squeezes.

Kissing is Banned! Post Eclipse and New Moon. Weekly Reading July 16th.

Jenny Heston · 1:11 am ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Mellow, Magnetic, Miraculous, Mindful Monday!!!! Phew (You have to admit that wasn’t bad for alliteration!) How has your last week been delicious lovely? I did hear from a lot of you that you were getting a tad tweaked with the eclipse and New Moon energy and to be honest, if you are at all sensitive (which most of us are), then of course you are going to feel it. I did my first ever public Facebook Live to talk about this (and that was terrifying lol).

Remember that the New Moon sets the energy for the month, right? So the energy for this upcoming month is sensitive (as the New Moon was in Cancer), all about what makes you feel at home, nourishes and supports you and the invitation to step up into more of what you want. So this is where Intention comes into play, in a big way. Energy follows Intention, so set your intentions with clarity and let the energy follow them. Please don’t set an intention and then the minute you are done start second guessing it, as guess where the energy is going to go? You guessed it, after the second aspect. So my invitation to you is as we navigate this energy for the next couple of months (yes I did say that), and play with the Fire energy of this season – key thing is be kind and gentle with yourself and allow (note that word) the feelings to come up and just flow through you. Some days you are going to be so inspired and filled with vim and vigour that you want to go conquer the world, other days you may feel like you want to hide out in a dark closet with a large bottle of wine and a straw! Just let it flow and stay focused on your Intention, okay?

I will be honest, the energy for me over the last 6 days has been intense at times, and there have been brief moments when I would forget all the tools in my tool box and turn into a gibbering lunatic (figuratively, not literally) and at those moments it would take a herd of wild horses and multiple lassos to reign everything back in! Or to go for a big walk in the woods, or sit with my feet in the creek. Hasn’t helped a ton that the weather has been brutally hot as being a redhead I tend to wilt in supreme heat and get very crotchety! Thus for good chunk of the week, as I have been outside a lot, I have felt a bit like a reverse sundial. Instead of following the sun I have been moving in the opposite direction and following patch of shade to patch of shade lol. Which to be honest, has helped keep me a tad cooler which is awesome and allowed me to get done a good chunk of what I needed to outside and not bite anyone’s head off! As I was prepping for the reading I was doing a bit of research and did you know that Kissing was Banned in 1439? Me neither. Apparently it was banned in an attempt to stop the “Black Death” from spreading. Curious as to how it was enforced…….. I mean seriously, there are a couple of people kissing in their little stone floor kitchen? How would that be dealt with? Most odd.

Today when I went to do the reading I found a patch of shade in my garden surrounded by wildflowers, creeping thyme and roses. The sunflowers are slowly opening and I think when it is all said and done I will have about 50 – 60! (The birds really helped with that). Besides hanging out in the garden and sitting on the grass, watching the bees dip in and out of the flowers, the hummingbirds dash in with their frenetic wing beats and the butterflies nestle, brings me a sense of peace.

So with all that chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading. It was no surprise to me that the Oracle of the Dragonfae were itching to come play. They are deliciously magickal beings that have always been there, we just forgot, and when we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life on this beautiful green and blue planet, known by some as Gaia, by others as Dana, and by many other names. The crystals that came out to play were interesting. We have Aragonite – which balances the energy field, works with all chakras, renewal, strength and healing. A glorious heart made of wood, and Stilbite – which expands consciousness, and helps organise the mind and release confusion as well as helping you take charge of life by committing to a direction. And of course Selenite to amplify and clear.

There is a glorious visualisation to help you get really grounded and open to the possibilities prior to picking a card, should you so choose. It involves a garden, but you won’t need garden gloves or tools. If not, then just take a few moments to come into your body, breathe, put the burdens of the day down and go within. Allow your inner wise self to rise up and whisper to you. When you are ready, give a great big smile and pick the card or cards that call to you. Enjoy.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a look?

LADY OF THE NEW BUDS

See how my garden has grown about me? See how my children, the darling buds, clamour for my attention? They cry at night and can be so touchy during the day! I must shelter them from harshness and keep them in a safe place, till they are strong enough to branch out….even then, my watchful eye will look out for their care.

You see, so many people see the beauty, and do not understand where it sprang from; the rich, loamy soil. The sweet water poured from the water-Dragonfae into this earth, the minerals of the natural realms, the light of the Sun and the shining sweetness of the crystal moon have all anointed my garden with their blessings. And then there is me. So many see my garden, and wonder at it, but they do not see the work and the care that has preceded my domain. Its beauty is a result of love, care, natural growth and attention to each and every one of its inhabitants.

When your growth appear around you, from the seeds you have planted, take time to tend this garden. Enlist the assistance of like-minded souls, and just as you would not feed these tender buds poisons and pollutants, do not feed your ideas the opinions and energies of those who are not in integrity. Stay true to the vision of your creation and truly take a little time each day to tend this garden, be it of love, ideas, little ones or creative endeavours, until they are robust and begin to grown into their own energy. For now, it is the tender time, the time when the buds are at most risk from the frost of rejection, the poison of judgement, and the choke of cruelty. Be vigilant, and you too will have a garden for all to enjoy and love.

Many will feel you’re fortunate indeed to have created such a beautiful Eden, but they will not see the care you have taken to grow this. But I have seen. I have seen it all.

THE LISTENER

How much have you missed because I could not have the space, the wild quiet, the blessed peace in which to whisper my secret straight to your soul? How much more could you be aware of if you simply took the time to be still and silent? The whole world can be heard in a moment….and now it is your time to be still, and to be silent. Listen and truly understand what it is you are hearing. Listen with your being, your entire being, not just your ears. Allow your senses to be the soul’s messengers. Sometimes we need to be quiet and listen. But first of all we need to be quiet. So many people talk so much of the time. And the talking and the talking and the filling up of space simply drowns out the messages.

The dragonfae do not decry conversation and robust dialogue, the joyous clash of friends talking with each other, or the singing out of voices….especially when raised in joy, celebration, song and good cheer! But this card speaks of a time when it would be right for you to be still, and to listen, as the world whispers her secrets to you. We do not want to be making so much noise that we drown out our own signs and messages. So be still. Be silent. And be ready for the messages to come in sweet, subtle and magickal ways.

It’s time to remove yourself from the hustle and the bustle, from built-up urban and industrial areas, and go deep into nature and find the still pace of solitude in which the soul can speak – and be heard! Turn down the stress, the demands, the social whirl, the noise that can drown out meaning. In the words of Shakespeare, chatter is often “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” You would do well to seek the counsel of spirit in nature, to rest in a quiet grove within. Furthermore, when the soul speaks, listen, come into alignment and act from that space of integrity. The Listener does not feel the need to tell all about what she has heard. In fact, she is content to simply act, without broadcasting her moves, and to allow her dreams into being, to follow the guidance of her message without exhausting the energy of the message by talking it out.

She is silent and she seems still. But all of her actions are powerful and purposeful because they are born from a pure, still place of energy. Hers is the quiet glade and sudden, glad truth of the soul, and in these truths are great wisdom and delight.

CHUMARA

Beyond the mask we all wear of identity, beyond the construct of who we have been conditioned to believe we are lies your face, your self. This face is tender and new in so many ways, as you have not shown her to the world before. This face has been protected because the world has seemed and proved indeed at times to be a dangerous and unkind place, where those of us who feel different are proved to be so as we brave the taunts and finger pointing. But I now tell you that your protections, your armour and your shield can be removed safely with me. Do not discard her, as you may need her yet in certain situations. But know now she is your armour and her role is to protect your true being.

To you, I now reveal myself. See? Many have recoiled in horror at who I truly am. I m a Dragonfae Maiden, a spider Woman, a being of webs and change and destruction, and re-creation. Each day I must remake my world….I feel along its sensory threads to see what needs reconstruction and what needs to be let go of. For I am, as you are, part of the new web of life – a web of life that embraces our differences and yet understands that we are one.

I ask you today to look at the webs in your life that must be remade and rewoven….. Remove your mask that says “I am this,” and know you are that, but also so much much more.

Wow! Nurturing, Being Quiet to hear the messages and Removing the Mask. Love it! And it’s sooooo apt for this energy at this time. Thus my delicious lovely, I wish for you a glorious week of cooling moments, also moments of stillness and quiet where you can hear your soul whisper to you. Glorious glasses of clean water and the knowing that you are loved and supported no matter if you feel like a mess. Also remember – Energy follows Intention.

Huge hugs and squeezes! See you next week.

Partial Solar Eclipse in Cancer! Which raises the question – What does Home mean to you?

Jenny Heston · 12:00 pm ·

Hello, hello my delicious lovely! Happy Marvelous, Magnificent, Manifesting, ‘Mazing Monday! (Yes, ‘mazing is a word or at least it is now.) How the heck are you? How are you finding working with this gorgeous Fire and Passion season? Remember, if you find yourself getting too hot, overwhelmed and frustrated then take a little time to cool off both literally, figuratively, mentally and energetically. There are some super easy pranayama’s that help cool the mind, the body and the energy. A super simple one is to curl your tongue like a straw, let it stick out of your mouth breathe in slowly through your tongue straw, close your mouth, hold and exhale through your nose. Very cooling. Here the last week was rainy and cooler, I had gone and bought a ton of wood to build a shed and ended up tarping the back of the yard to keep the wood dry. Within about 3 days it was baking hot and I still haven’t taken the tarp down as it now provides shade whilst I build! Even the dogs are hiding out there or in the house, or under the deck! So make sure if you feel heated you back off and cool it down a tad.

I had a very cool experience this last week and wow, if you doubt that the Universe is paying attention – let me write a reference for the Divine, she is listening very clearly and avidly. What I have noticed in the last few years of magnificent manifestation is clarity is key! Phrase it clearly, put emotion behind it, forget the “how’s” or how it should look and trust. An example. 2.5 years ago I put something out there, very loosy goosy and rather vapid, last August I put it out there again with a bit more umph but my ego was most certainly getting in the way. On Solstice by the ocean I put it out there again with clarity, confidence and certainty. Wow! 14 days later the Universe rolled out a series of events that were literally like a bulldozer clearing the path for me and saying – You asked, we listened, are you bold enough? Hells to the Yes!!!! (Though terrified as well!) So exciting adventures will be ensuing!

As I mentioned last week, we are heading into Eclipse season, and our first one is a solar eclipse on Thursday July 12th. This delicious Eclipse happens in the soft and tender sign of Cancer at the New Moon. Now Cancer is the sign of “home”, that doesn’t necessarily mean a structure, it’s that feeling of where we belong, who our tribe is, who is our community, our work, do you feel at home in your body. Yes? Now if you remember I mentioned last week that Eclipse’s bring all sorts of beautiful things to light, those feelings that have been hidden or stuffed, the dreams/aspirations that you’ve tucked into a box as “they don’t feel practical”. If you have been feeling a bit out of sorts, nostalgic, a tad fragile emotionally, reflective or confused then you are feeling the energy of the eclipse.

So when I asked the cards who wanted to work with us all, guide, support, inspire and help us with this very transformative energy the Divine Circus Oracle literally jumped so high that it was like a hand to the forehead! This is a gorgeous deck for the bold, the ones that find it hard to follow the rules “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 and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us a moment earlier. “

Funnily enough before the crystals, the first things that insisted on coming to participate where the glorious Hansa roses (if you have never smelled one you need to find one!), and mint. Why mint? Mint is a glorious cleanser and abundance attractor, pop a leaf or two in your wallet or purse and see what happens….

The crystals that came to play are Rose Quartz – to remind us to not stuff the feelings, numb or avoid, but to feel and know your heart is strong. Indigo Gabbro – helps unearth deep rooted issues in your psyche, it knows and gets you, it sees your weaknesses and totally understands your strengths, and strips away the false facades you have built up around you. Smoky Quartz – is amazing for balancing and grounding as well as helping you to vibrate at your fullest potential as it releases negative emotions. Wow! The perfect cards and crystals for the first eclipse.

Thus, I invite you to just take a few moments for yourself, to nourish yourself, get clear and to breathe. Breathe into your belly, into all the corners and down deep into your toes. Let’s practice the nice cooling breathe of breathing in through your curled tongue or pursed mouth long and slow and holding for two and then breathing it out through your nose. As you breathe, feel your jaw relax, your scalp relax and your shoulders drop. There is nothing that you need to do right at this minute, this time is for you.

Then when you feel ready pick the card or cards that resonate or whisper to you.

Ready?

Shall we go have a look?

WHITE DUCHESS

DEATH SHALL NOT TAKE HIM

You are going to witness the impossible made possible. Whatever you think is lost, is not. Whatever you think cannot be, shall be. The universe is going to intervene and what seems to be over, shall in a new way, live again.

Sometimes, just when you think it’s all over, the eleventh hour comes. You can practically hear the opening chords of your swan song, and when you have finally given up, suddenly, somehow, right before your eyes, everything changes – just like that. You were free-falling and then, suddenly, you are soaring. Fate steps in, destinies are altered and life demonstrates its creative, restorative power, even if all seemed lost.

No matter how defeated you feel, no matter how many dead ends you’ve encountered, how many setbacks, how many failures, no matter how impossible success may seem, the universe has your back and is going to right things in your favour. You will succeed. So if you really must (sigh) doubt for one more moment – go ahead, then replace doubt with trust and participate in the divine defiance of life refusing to be stepped on or crushed. Why not just frigging relax and bear witness to the universe’s impressive display of life-giving power with reverence and delight? Gorgeous one – get out of your own way!

DUKE OF SHADOWS

Cunningly clever am I, helping you discern the truth from the lie. I remind you that half truths may seem to be whole, yet in the shadows is information yet to be known. When the time is right, the light shall be bright, and confusion will give way to understanding.

You are being invited to be patient. This is a cautionary card, not to inspire concern, but rather to inspire curiosity. There is more to a situation, person, opportunity, or even an apparent absence of activity or success, than meets the eye. You could imagine it being like the universe has another card up its sleeve and is yet to show its full hand. A process has been set in motion but is “under the radar” of your awareness. Something is happening, even if that doesn’t appear to be the case. But just like a seed starts to grow into a plant, deep in the earth, apparently invisible and yet very real, you are being subjected to invisible but real forces of growth and healing at this time.

Because you cannot know what you don’t know, you will need to wait for more information to come to you. So if what you see, sense or feel is negative right now, don’t believe it! Things are going to shift and change and there will be a surprising twist in your life. Though you don’t see it coming, another piece of your life puzzle is going to reveal itself soon. It will help solve a difficulty or question you have been holding in your heart.

Firstly, thanks to everyone for your lovely emails, comments and messages, I love them! Secondly, remember to be gentle with yourself this week, try to find little pockets of time where you can explore what you’re feeling and as New Moon approaches play with getting some clarity on an issue, or situation that you would like to see manifest. Oh yes, remember, if you find yourself getting over heated whether due to hot weather, or energetically, practice the cooling breath, drink water and find a nice spot in the shade where you can put your feet in the grass! Have a superb week and see you next Monday.
