Happy Magickal, Mythical, Moxie, Melodious, Marvellous, Magnetic, Mirthy, Manifesting Monday!

How was your long weekend (if you were in a country that had one?)

I did go and participate in some of the Canada Day celebrations, but I will say hanging out with 10,000 people is very short lived for me.  Let alone with the heat!  So I retreated to the garden to rest, relax and play.  It was perfect.

Here, in the city where I live, we have had Pride month and it culminated with a fantabulous parade yesterday!  

I have to say I love Pride month, a time to celebrate the diversity of the human package that we come in.  As an ally I honour each person’s right to choose who they are, how they identify and whom they choose to love.  

When I was a teen in Oxford, most of my closest friends were people who were a good 15 years older than me, and were gay men.  Gosh!  I had so much fun, I learned a lot and I always felt safe, loved and appreciated.  

There was a lovely chap called Gaz who was an incredible illustrator and would create the most magickal, whimsical imagery for children’s books and he would share the most amazing stories.   He was a very special person.  

Last year I helped run a booth, because as a lay chaplain and someone who performs ceremonies, rituals, weddings and funerals it felt important to share that diversity and inclusivity were welcome.

I dressed as a glorious butterfly, thanks to my amazing niece who has a tickle trunk of costumes and odds and bits, and had the most amazing connections and conversations!

This year, I helped carry a 50 foot long Pride Flag and showed up as a dark faery, armed with bubble wands galore!  Again, great conversations, connections and lots of joy and laughter.

So I will say the people who came out to heckle the parade, or the ones that sabotaged some of the pride banners that the city had painted and created on the walkways, really?

I appreciate there are some people who don’t “approve” of diversity, inclusiveness and want everyone to conform to their ideal and opinion.

But in my world – everyone has an opinion, just like an arsehole.  

Doesn’t mean I want to hear it, smell it or see it!  (Just saying!)

I hope we get to a place and time where we can include and accept everyone, with no regards to colour, gender, identity, religious beliefs and so much more.  That would be an amazing healing for the human race and to be honest, our planet.  

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the guides and cards to ask who was willing to support and guide this week – there was no choice whatsoever.   These new guides were adamant they wanted to support.

So as these are new guides, please let me introduce you.

Faeries are magical beings who are guardians and protectors of our precious planet.  They care for plants, flowers and trees, and us daft humans.  They want everyone to experience their ancient wisdom and to feel reconnected to the Earth, our home, and to self.  

The faeries are delighted to spiritually support and encourage you on this fantastic journey as you walk upon the faery path.  And they remind you – there’s more to life than what you can see with your physical eyes.  

Okay sweetie, let’s take a moment to drop in.  Take a glorious deep breath out and allow the energy that you have been holding in your lungs to expel.  Then take a glorious deep breath in and invite in the energy of inclusivity, what does that feel like for you?  Let that energy meld into your heart space and gently open.

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

HEALING

Healing can take many forms, even just through listening – when we feel we’re being heard it can make us feel better, so people who have the ability to listen with love and without judgement are already healers.

Sometimes just being in the presence of someone who is receptive to our thoughts and feelings can help us to feel uplifted and healed.

Do you feel you are able and willing to give this healing?

Hands-on healing is a technique many feel drawn to, and perhaps this is something you, too, wish to explore.  Are you in need of healing yourself?  Is there something that you are pushing through “because it’s expected?”

It’s important to listen to your body, mind and soul and take time out so it can heal naturally.  Make sure you’re getting all of the correct vitamins and nutrients.  And remember sleep can also be an amazing healer.

Explore healing therapies that may be new to you, such as aromatherapy, flower essences, hands on healing, art therapy, colour therapy – whatever piques your interest.

Believe and trust that you have the capacity to heal yourself and others.  Explore and embrace that piece of yourself and allow it to flow.

HOPE

Hope is the key to the door that can lead you away from any predicament you are in.  

No matter how hopeless things may seem, if you look deep inside your heart your spiritual heart wisdom will reveal a glimmer of hope, and this can lead you to a brighter future.  

This gorgeous faery reminds us to always tap into hope, because looking for hope and joy and changing your beliefs can literally change your future.

As you can see on the card a rainbow and a dove of peace are shown and they often come together reminding us that anything is possible.  Sometimes we just need an extra boost, so the faeries fly in on the wings of a dove to let us know that they’re with you with any difficulties you are experiencing.

Remaining hopeful while those around you are full of doubt and negativity can be extra challenging, but remember that hope comes from deep within our hearts and is an excellent habit to cultivate.

Heart wisdom and hope will see you through whatever is going on for you and those around you right now, so have courage and trust as the Faery of Hope walks hand in hand with peace and miracles.

NATURE’S SIGNS

The faeries love to leave hints and clues for us in nature. It’s one of the many creative ways in which they initiate communication with us.  

For example, faeries often leave feathers or release floating dandelion seeds to let us know they’re nearby.  The appearance of a friendly bird, such as a robin, is another message that they are close by.

Faeries and other creatures often work together as they’re all in harmony with the Earth, whose wisdom can come in many forms.  Just allow yourself to be receptive and use your intuition to decipher any signs that you see.  

If possible, sit next to a flowing stream and visualise your cares being resolved and any concerns flowing away.  Alternatively, imagine your hopes and wishes flowing towards you, looking out for any significant signs from nature as you do so.  

You could also leave your own sign for the faeries next time you’re out in nature, letting them know  you wish to connect with them.  Leaving a tiny wooden fairy door next to a tree is a sure sign to the fey that you’re a faery friend.  

The faeries will pick up on your intentions and help to manifest them.  If you don’t have access to a stream, it can be just as effective to visualise the process.  

Those are some gorgeous delicious messages!  How did the card you picked resonate for you? Have a stupendous week, delicious lovely.  Remember to breathe and to celebrate your diverse unique self! And most of all have fun!  (Life is so much better when we remember to play!)   Big hugs and squeezes and bubbles galore!  

Well Hello Mercury Retrograde! And Beltane is almost Here!

· ·

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

RA! RA! RA!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GYPSY COLOMBINE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LADY LUCK

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Coldest Night of The Year and Pluto (Not the dog)!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Magnetic, Musical, Manifesting Monday!

The last Monday of February, can you believe it! And in usual Mumma Nature style the weather has gone bonkers!  Arctic winds of 70 km/hr  have been sweeping through over and over, plummeting temperatures and snow galore for some people. 

In other words it is frigging cold and unusually cold (so please don’t tell me there is no such thing as global warming!)

So I am going to post a warning here.  If you don’t want to read about tough things that are present in your community, no matter where you live – skip what is written.  

With this sudden onset of cold I found it rather ironic, as across many communities nationally, February 25th is The Coldest Night of The Year Walk.  

This walk started in 2011 to raise funds and awareness  around homelessness (and I loathe the phrase “unhoused”) and poverty.  

The funds all go to a local charity that is on the streets and helps to fund food, clothes, support and programmes for a very vulnerable part of our communities.  

Having spent my Valentine’s Day wandering through various tent and tarp cities sharing little love packages of gorgeous cookies, and listening to some very intense stories, of course I had to walk!

When I signed up it was a balmy 5C – pffft.  Not a problem.  

Since then, the winds have been extreme, the cold is biting and when I’m out with Danu (the amazing therapy dog) it’s challenging, but I know that I have a warm home to go back to.  I can turn on the kettle and make a nice cuppa and if my clothes are wet, I can change.  

But, what if all you have is a tarp and a concrete sidewalk?  

What if there is no way to get warm and dry, let alone open your fridge or cupboard to select something to eat?

For many of us, if we go outside and it’s too cold, we go back into the warmth.  The walk which is only 5 km long goes through some tough areas, cold areas, areas where people are sleeping in doorways.  This gives a wee glimpse, an iota taste of what it is like to be out in that level of cold, trying to sleep, be safe and stay warm.  What it is to not feel safe.

That’s why I choose to walk, as the phrase that keeps popping into my head is “There by the Grace of God go I.”

What I found interesting was I sent out an invitation to all sorts of people to donate.  Some I knew were exceptionally affluent and had never struggled in their life, others, money was tight. What was interesting was 2/3rds of the affluent ones didn’t donate at all, in fact I received a message about “Those people did it to themselves.”  Wow.  

The ones that did donate were tight on money, but they could see the people as people.  

Life holds no 100% guarantees at all, other than you are born, you die.  And having listened to a wee couple in their 80s on Valentines that had been on the street for just over a month due to the landlord tripling their rent………..   

It made my heart sad.  

So remember, we are part of a collective (whether you recognise it or not).  Smile at someone, take a moment to talk, offer what you can – even if it is only time.  But we are all interconnected and it’s important to be aware of that.

Okay, now I will get off my soapbox!  Lol.  

Interesting to see, as I write this, this was not what I thought I would be writing (I love it when that happens), but we do have Saturn moving.  But more importantly, gorgeous Pluto is changing signs and is moving into Aquarius for the first time in 200+ years!

A little snippet on Pluto before we crack on with the reading.  

“Pluto is our subconscious, the skeletons in the closet, the things that we have swept under the rug. Pluto is 3am in the morning when you are all alone and the world is quiet.

Pluto represents our deepest desires, our deepest fears, and our deepest subconscious programming. Pluto works in the backgrounds of our lives, moving us through constant cycles of death and rebirth until we are transformed into our fullest potential. How much we allow it to work its magic is up to us and our level of consciousness.”

So with that all being said let’s crack on with the reading shall we?  Lol..

When I asked my guides how they wanted to share with you. I laughed.

They picked Sacred Destiny Oracle.  So in case  you have never met them, let me introduce you – and if you have met them before, let me reintroduce you (as not to do so is rude!).  “You have a sacred destiny; we all do.  There is a powerful and profound reason that you are here on the planet.  However, sometimes it may be difficult to understand what that reason is and perceive what is required on your journey into the future. 

It may be a challenge to know what the next step in life should be.  This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul. 

In ancient traditions, shamans, medicine women, witches, visionaries, and prophets all accessed hallowed knowledge by observing their natural environment.  These wise beings stepped through mystic gateways into inner realms to bring back meaning to the seemingly random event of life. “

So my darling, if you don’t think we are all interconnected, well these are the guides to remind you.

Okay dear one, take a moment to just BE. 

Let your breathing slow naturally and allow yourself to pull all the parts of you back.  Any parts that are attached to work, the kids, the weather – whatever.  Just breathe them back in and allow all the pieces of you to coalesce in your heart.  See the abundance that surrounds you, let it fill you, let it warm your heart and see it expanding out of you.

If you need a bit of support playing with the abundance in your life, I have a wee guided visualisation for you.

Then when you are ready.  From that state of Gratitude and Abundance.  Pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

RELAXATION

On a warm, peaceful autumn night, a gentle haze softens the light of the full moon.  The songs of night birds softly emerge through the dark, against the backdrop of the sonorous outpouring of the frogs that line the lake’s shore.  

The stillness allows your senses to expand.  You inhale the earthy dampness in the air, hear the nuances of the night sounds, look at the muted reflections of the moon in the lake, and sense the deep quietude of the night.  

All is well.  No need to strive or push to get ahead.  Beneath the surface of life, everything is gently propelling you in the right direction.  You can lay down your burdens and simply unwind.

Slow down and allow calmness to fill you.

When you relax and relinquish control, your intuition expands, and you create the space for your spirit guardians to help you.

Additionally, it’s vastly easier to heal and have positive outcomes in life when you are rested and not filled with worry and a need to control outcomes.  Lie back, stretch out, and watch magic unfold in your life.  

TRUST

The desert seems parched and devoid of life, yet it is to the desert that spiritual sojourners go to gain messages from the Creatrix.  Traditionally, the desert is the place of spiritual cleansing, renewal, and profound healing visions.  

Just as desert terrains can feed our souls, they also nourish lands thousands of miles away.

For example, the Sahara desert and the Amazon rain forest are a great distance from each other.  One is a vast, dry area of sand and scrub, while the other is moist, lush, and green.  And yet they are connected.  

Annually, thousands of tons of nutrient-rich dust from the Sahara crosses continents in the upper atmosphere and deposits vital phosphorus and other minerals to the Amazon, which is needful of those exact nutrients.  

This is a powerful and important message to receive.

Even when things seem parched or not fruitful, a deeper energy speaks of the power of your inner knowing.  Meditate.

Trust those nudges from the Universe.  Your celestial advisors are close by.  Open up to receive some of the most important messages of your life through your intuition.  

Your intuition is spot on, so trust it.  And even if there are some areas of your life that seem lacklustre, know that other areas are being fertilised for a resplendent future.  

Have faith, and know that there is a higher purpose.  

BLESSINGS

In many ancient cultures, it was believed that there were some springs that were holy.  Gods and goddesses were thought to reside in or near these special places, and they were revered.  

Greek mythology is replete with stories of those special places.  Many of the Christian hallowed water sources, such as the Chalice Well, were used for sacred purposes long before Christianity rose to prominence.  

These kinds of springs were thought to be healing waters where blessings were bestowed by mystical beings.

Immense blessings are emerging into your life from those in Spirit. Angels, guides, and spirit guardians are watching over you.  Angelic intervention is available to you.

Be open to the voice of the Divine.  Messages are all around you.  You are protected, you are safe.  Have faith that your path is guided.  Watch for signs that spiritual beings are present.

Profound healing energy will flow to you in wondrous ways if you welcome it in.  

Refreshing, replenishing energy is filling your life.

Mmmmm, those are fabulous guides for this week.  Dance with Pluto, feel the abundance that surrounds you, be kind to others and have a fabulous week.  Oh yes, and stay warm!  See you next week!

2023 is Here and this 7 year invites you to Resonate, Discern and Align.

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Magnificent, Majestic, Meaningful, Miraculous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you most delicious lovely?  It feels like we haven’t connected for ages, but in reflection it has only been a few weeks!  I had such great plans of taking a few weeks of winter hibernation to relax, play, create – however, I obviously didn’t phrase it correctly as I kept saying “I want two weeks off to sleep, read and do nothing.” So the Divine, with their gorgeous sense of humour gave me an upper respiratory thing that kicked my arse!

Remember kids – words have power. Intentions have even more power!

Welcome to January 2023.  I don’t know about you but the first week of January has felt a month long!

I will say that this Gregorian Calendar of “It’s a New Year ” puts a lot of expectations on people, and they are normally negative ones.  Which thoroughly irritates me, as it is something that is pushed in the media, magazines, our collective culture.  

 If someone else asks me what my resolutions are I may bop them on the nose – as I don’t believe in them!

To me, resolutions are made because – “everyone does this”,  we should all make resolutions as it’s a New Year.  Mmmmmm, having done them for years (because that was expected), they are normally based on fixing something about oneself or not feeling enough.  

An example.  As someone who used to go to the gym daily, I would see people flood in at the beginning of January with the resolution of “I have to get fit and buff”.  Mmmm, okay.  By early February you never saw them again.

Why?

Because the intention wasn’t based on the energies that are in play, nor in how they wanted to feel.

So let’s look at 2023. In Numerology this coming year is a 7 year.

7 is the number of soul searching and really connecting our higher self to our earthly plane.

It’s the year for tuning into your soul, your heart, your wise inner self and tuning out the noise of the world.  

This year will be rich in spiritual lessons and change will be immense (we have Saturn, Jupiter and most importantly – Pluto moving!)  And as the saying goes – when Pluto changes signs, all sorts of things change.  

So this is where the invitation for you is to really tune in, revise, re-vision and re-think (or re-feel) into what is in your best and highest good.

The words that come up strongly are: Resonate, Discern and Align.

So ask yourself these questions:

What does your soul want you to share with you?

What would it feel like to move in the world from a place of ease, alignment and to really thrive?

How do you want to make your mark in the world?

Last but not least, How do you want to live?

(So there is some musing for you to play with!)

Okay, enough chuntering – let’s crack on with the reading.  The cards that flew out and at me this week  are the amazing Divine Circus Oracle, which made me laugh my soxs off – as the world does feel like that right now, circus like.  

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

“What is life if not a Divine Circus?  Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us  moments earlier.  Life is magical, thrilling, sometimes strange and even scary.  It can inspire you and touch your soul, inviting you to discover the unique magic within you, to dare to live it, to express it, to play with possibilities and embrace what sets you apart from the crowd. “

Thus, I invite you to breathe and just BE with your gorgeous self here at this moment.  Take a few lovely, rich, nourishing breaths and let the cares of the moment slide off like wee little raindrops.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

If you need some help and support releasing the “shoulds”, the weight of energy around you I have a lovely guided visualisation for you.  It’s fun, we are going on a yomp and an explore!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look at the first guides of 2023.

JOKER IS WILD

The Universe has a sense of humour, but never at your expense.  It is laughing with you, not at 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.

The Joker is the highest trump card to beat all others.  No matter how much another may seem to have the upper hand, or how many forces seem to be against you, even if you feel like a lone wolf about to be mauled by a pack of hungry lions, the Joker always wins.  She comes out of the blue, and changes destiny from darkness to light.  She brings the brilliant solution that ends a problem, the way through that is best and brightest.  

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.

SILVER SIREN

When is an enchantment not enchanting?  When it is a spell that you allow to consume your free will, even as it promises so much and yet delivers so little.  The Silver Siren sings her song, a pretty poison to the soul.  Her false allure tempts the mind, even whilst the heart feels that something is not quite right. 

Your power will come from discerning the truth and allowing her false promises no place in your heart.

If you compromise your integrity you will find that what you have obtained was not worth the price you paid for it, no matter how much you believed it would be otherwise.  It simply will not be worthwhile. 

The Silver Siren is a false light that is so very enticing but so destroying.  To disempower the false light, you must stay true to what your heart says.  No matter how much you may fear you’ll regret it later on, simply say no to that which is unworthy, to that which does not hold the truth of love within.  Even if a person declares that they are utterly enlightened and only interested in your highest good; even if the opportunity at hand is “too good to miss”, making your mind needy and confused, follow your heart – if it’s not a Hell Yes, it’s a NO!

You are being given an opportunity for empowerment.  It is time to trust yourself and stand firm with your truths, and to experience the priceless sense of love, safety, security, peace and self-possession that this brings.  With this, your soul can sing its own song, a song that shares true light, the lightness of a heart that lives in peaceful truth with the world.

Holy Hannah, you can’t make this shit up! 

What fabulous guides to kick us off in January.  

Take time this week to really FEEL into what you want to experience this year, and how you want to ALIGN with it.  Big hugs and squeezes, and see you next week.  

Slow Down, Pause, Set Boundaries, and Play!

Happy Magnificent, Maudlin, Majestical, Meretricious, Magikal, Manifesting Monday!

Hello gorgeous bean, did you make it through the Full Moon last week?  It was quite an interesting one, wasn’t it?  Many of you reached out saying it was heavy and asking how to manage it and I was delighted to hear that you played with ritual (involving a stone and water) and let that shit go!

So how are you feeling now?  (And remember, I am “that” person who will talk about the Elephant in the room!)

This week has been most interesting, and as I write this I am sitting in my garden sanctuary with Danu lying at my feet, Kali sleeping in the faery garden and butterflies and dragonflies galore.  

A friend from the UK called me up the other day to ask what we paid for petrol per gallon, and apparently the UK is paying almost double what Canada is.  He went on to share how he felt the country was struggling (Boris Johnson – who I fondly refer to as the muppet – stepped down) so the UK is without a Prime Minister at the moment.  Tad tricky.  

Then he shared what was happening in the towns he worked in, the cost of groceries, how any news of the Ukraine war wasn’t really happening – etc. etc. etc. And basically how the energy was frenetic and he was feeling triggered, fragmented, angry and overwhelmed.  

He wasn’t the only conversation of this kind I have had this last week, in fact I would say about 20 of them with clients.  The sense of fear and structural instability is high and in turn is creating, yet again, huge judgements, divisiveness and a sense of confusion and overwhelm.  

So how do you navigate this or deal with this so it doesn’t “lodge” with you?

Here are 4 easy and powerful steps. Ready?

First thing is to slow down and set boundaries.  Recognise and name what is happening around you, but don’t get stuck in the story of it, or taken out by fear mongers.  And always, always remember “You have no control over other people, places, situations or things.”  

You can not take on the responsibility for everything around you (although your mind might try to convince you otherwise).  

When you try to take responsibility for all the externalities, suck up the news as if it’s a soda you are in fact putting your nervous system into hyper mode.

By dropping into your heart space, setting healthy boundaries, allowing yourself to slow down, to say “no” more often, it will help you make better decisions, connect more deeply with the people who matter to you, and help you to enjoy more meaningful experiences.  It also helps you to stop getting triggered. (Always a good thing).

The second thing is to appreciate we are still in the midst of a massive paradigm shift and it hasn’t finished (even if no one else around you talks about it).  What this means is there is a gentle whisper, a call if you will, to step into a place where you share and shine your light, but remember, you have to fill your own well first to be able to do this. 

Which leads to the third thing.  

The third thing is to have a daily practice that gets you in touch with and nourishes your inner self, your inner power, your essence and soul.  Now I know you may be rolling your eyes and saying – yeah, yeah Jenn, daily practice sounds like a great idea but I don’t have the time.  

Bullshit.

Can you honestly tell me that you don’t have 10 minutes to sit outside in nature?  10 minutes to do some yoga whilst focusing on your heart space?  10 minutes to write a stream of consciousness and get all the shit out of your head?  10 minutes to pull a card in the morning and reflect on the energies to walk with? 

Do you see where I’m going?

If you have 10 minutes to dive down the rabbit hole of social media, you have 10 minutes to strengthen your soul and connection.

I have a daily practice that is split into two, the first part happens the minute I’ve brushed my teeth and popped the kettle on first thing in the morning.  The second part happens right before I’m climbing into bed.  

And for me, these are NON NEGOTIABLE.  

I don’t start my day until I have done my morning practice and I don’t go to sleep until I have done my evening one.  Are they long?  Heck no, as I’m not a supremely patient person.  However, they are exceptionally powerful and they keep me grounded, whole, connected to my intuition and the divine and allow me to make better choices of where I spend my energy.  

Last but not least, the fourth thing is to remember to Play!  When we are in a state of play, whether it is having a kitchen dance party, blowing bubbles, skipping rocks or playing an instrument or anything else!  We are in a state of flow, openness and creativity.  

From that place comes an amazing connection to something bigger than yourself that wells up in your chest and brings you glorious joy, delight and trust.  Who doesn’t need more of that?  

So next time you’re cooking dinner, pop on some great music and dance your soxs off whilst singing into the end of a carrot that you are peeling!  What have you got to lose?

Okay I have chuntered on enough, let’s crack on with the reading.  

When I went to the cards to ask who would like to teach and guide this week I was tickled to see who came to join.  Let me please introduce you to the Earth Warriors.  

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.  A new world is being born.  It is founded upon love and higher consciousness, instead of fear, hate and greed.  All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.  We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.“

Oh my Giddy Aunt!  Frigging perfect, lol.  

Okay delicious lovely, take a moment and breathe into your heart space.  Take a glorious deep breath in through the nose and see your heart space lighting up and gently unfolding.  Then as you exhale out your mouth with a sigh, see any burdens drop to the ground to become cosmic compost.  Keep breathing this way for a minute and let your heart open more and more.

Then when you are ready, allow your heart to guide you to the card or cards that tickle the petals of your heart.

Did you remember to pick?

Come with me and let’s have a look shall we?

INTIKHANA

Child of the Light

There is a divine light that does not cast a shadow.  Nor does it cast judgement, even though it reveals truth – a truth that is sometimes hard to acknowledge and requires that we change our ways.  

True divine light is healing, it is unifying, it brings hope and illuminates the way.  Other sorts of light exist on this planet that are not so pure, nor so helpful.  Those sorts of light may appear stunningly bright, yet, in effect, create separation and increase ego.  

You can recognise genuine divine presence not by how dazzling it may appear at first, but by what your devotion to that divine light evokes in your heart and your world.  

Trust your feelings over appearances.  Move away from influences that create fear, negativity or doubt in you.  Reach out for that which uplifts your heart.  

Refuse to be dazzled by ego masquerading as something spiritual.  

Through your prayers and efforts, spiritual light has been accumulating on the inner planes, even though you may not sense that consciously as yet.  There will be an intersection of events and circumstances in your physical world through which that light shall pour forth and manifest itself as grace.

There is something truly good to come of it.  

In the Incan tradition, Inti is the physical sun and the spiritual presence inherent in the sun’s life giving energy.  When we are faced with deep unknowing or dark depressing thoughts, welcome in the spiritual intervention of joyful light.  

Open up to the joyful light of love and peace to fill your heart and your home.  You have the power to call this in because you are acknowledged as a child of the light.  

From that place of inner peace, luminous love and safe refuge, you can proceed with boldness, patience, wisdom and hope.  You don’t just have light within you.  You are the light.  

Remember.  Shine.  We need you.  

AJNA DURGA

Power of the Good

You need never lose faith in the power of good.  You need never lose faith in how much you can accomplish as an independent and inspired individual in this world.  You need never believe that you are alone or without divine protection.  You need never fear evil.  

The third eye of the Divine Mother sees all things, is ever watchful and ever just.  She births through holy vision, the manifest power of good in all realms.  Her gaze is upon you now.  Trust her.  

Believe in the power of the Divine to keep an eye on things for you.  Trust that power to alert you when you need to know something or to understand what is happening in your life and what you need – even if you aren’t so sure of that yourself at times. 

Be active in contesting negativity. 

The moment you feel something isn’t coming from love, acknowledge it immediately.  You don’t have to make it about you or analyse it.  Call for divine support in all things.  It is your greatest ally.

Give up your attachment to past experiences of rejection and abandonment so that you can open up to how much the Divine loves you and can help you.  Practice feeling the confidence and unconditional trust in a higher power, knowing it is stronger than all else.  

Durga is your ally, your divine weapon, your refuge and your vital energy for sacred purpose.  Do not allow yourself to be intimidated. 

Let that confidence and trust in the divine goddess of goodness radiate out of you like a shining sun that fills your heart, your mind and your belly.  

PONO PONO

Immeasurable Power of the Heart Way

The heart has the power to heal in a way that the mind cannot understand.  Do not allow your mind to distract or frighten you.  You are a beautiful child of the Universe and divine love lives within your heart. 

A willing heart is all that you need to transform any situation that is troubling you.  

Recognising this power does not evoke feelings of pressure or anxiety, but, rather, of peace and joy.  Lightness of heart and relief of mind are here for you now.

PONO, in the Hawaiian tradition, has deep and multiple meanings, one expression of which is the return to order.  

There is a perfection of peace, beauty and fulfilment that the Divine has planned for the lives of all beings.  Through the use of human free will, we have at times moved away from what is in the divine plan, stumbled on the path and become ensnared in terrible suffering and frightening delusion. 

It then becomes difficult to use our free will with wisdom, and our spiritual disconnection can create far-reaching negative impacts for ourselves and others.  

Yet there is a simple spiritual discipline that we can practise to restore the world – and all hearts within it – to rights again.  

The Divine dwells in your heart as a healing power and wisdom, which tenderly alleviates suffering, liberating the body, mind and soul.  In the Hawaiian tradition from which it emerges, it is known as Ho’o Pono Pono or “to set things right”.  

The heart power thrives through this simple four-step practice that can be done by anyone, anywhere, for any person or situation that they would wish to transform.  This is not a practice you can approach through the mind.  

The mind will resist it because it asks for us to take unconditional responsibility for everything that we encounter.  The mind confuses responsibility with guilt and giving with deficit.  The heart, though, is joyful at the prospect of spiritual responsibility, because it understands that it offers the empowerment to make a difference and that healing one helps heal all.

The Divine within your heart has the power to transform a situation that is troubling you.  Do not be intimidated or think it is too much for your or the Divine to handle.  Do not allow yourself to intellectualise or analyse a situation to the point of feeling confused or paralysed. 

Healing through the heart on any and all issues that have plagued you or a loved one can and will happen.  Let your heart feel the faith it needs to feel so that it can rest in joy.  

Divine healing wants to flow abundantly to you.  Open up to receive it without hesitation or condition.  

Wow, glorious guides for this week – I mean seriously, you can’t make this shit up! So delicious, lovely, wishing for you a week of slowing down, taking a pause, setting heart based boundaries, starting a daily practice and play!  Fill your well so your glorious light can shine like a delightful star.  Big hugs and blessings.  See you next week.
