Boundaries, Blossoming & Not Playing Small!

· · 4 Comments

Gorgeous Soul

The last Monday in March!  Time is doing some very interesting things for sure!

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

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

I totally get it.

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

Did you shudder when I said Boundaries?  

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

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

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

Boundaries are about healthy choices.

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

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

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

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

Okay, so now we have boundaries gently talked about, let’s move onto the glorious Full Moon (Pink Moon) that happens on Wednesday, April 1st (April Fools day and just before Easter).

The Libra Full Moon arrives on the 1st of April, helping us to clear a pathway into the fiery, motivating, and action-fuelled energy that the month brings.

April holds some of the most motivating and fast-moving energy we have seen in a while. We have zero planets in retrograde, and lots of fiery energy pushing us to get things done, set goals, and go after our dreams.

This productive energy is likely to infuse its way into all of our lives throughout the month, but the Full Moon offers us a gentle pause, a Release Point

Arriving at the start of the month, the Full Moon offers a release point so we can make room for the fertile, fiery energy to flow. It asks us to clear and release all that feels heavy, all that is no longer serving us, and all that needs to fall away so we can move forward with greater ease and intention.

What is holding you down or keeping you stuck and limited? It’s time to have a clear-cut conversation with yourself and take decisive action.

This is not a time to hold yourself back, play small, or remain in indecision. The time has come to make a choice, once and for all. The time has come to be clear about what you want and intentional with your actions, your energy, and how you are spending your time.

(Note the energy of boundaries…..)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have to say, it made my heart sing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the deepest sense you remember who you are.  

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

Did you remember to pick?

Come take a peek.

BEAR SPIRIT

Healing

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You are strong and grounded.

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

Have faith that all is well.

DAFFODIL FAIRY

New Beginnings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

STAG SPIRIT

Leadership

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

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

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

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

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

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

Take action.  This is your time.  Step up.  

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

When the World Screams “Buy!”… I Choose Blessed and Unbothered.

Gorgeous Soul,

December stepped in this morning with its quiet frost and instinctive hush, yet everywhere I turn, I’m met with a blizzard of flashing ads, shrill notifications, glossy promotions, and digital cajoling. Black Friday. Cyber Monday. Limited Offer. Last Chance.

The whole spectacle feels like an overcaffeinated carnival shouting into the marrow of my bones. I value prudence with money — of course — but this frantic devotion to “stuff-for-the-sake-of-stuff” makes my spirit recoil.

The clangour, the manufactured urgency, the relentless chorus of Buy now, buy fast, buy more — set against the trembling state of the world — feels entirely counter to the soul of this season.

You feel it too, don’t you?

That subtle trembling of your nervous system whispering, enough — enough scrolling, enough grasping, enough noise.

In these past weeks, I found myself caught in the undertow of “shoulds.” The invisible insistence to acquire, prepare, produce, impress. It felt like standing in a wind tunnel of expectations that were never mine to begin with.

Thus, through our family’s “birthday season” — that lively stretch from September to now — I decided to refuse the rote ritual of obligatory gifts. Instead, we crafted experiences together. One for each of the horde.

A dazzling West End London show — When God Was a Scottish Drag Queen — that left us breathless with laughter.
A decadent spa afternoon where we soaked our feet while seals tumbled through silvered waves.
A wildfire-fun improv night with two SNL greats that left us gasping.
A pottery session where clay-flecked hands shaped mugs and memories.
And this weekend — a family Celtic knot tattoo, ink looping our stories into skin.

This, to me, is the marrow of the season — a call toward slowness, toward gentleness, toward presence.

Yet everywhere around us the world hollers, “Hurry!”

With Winter Solstice drifting near, we stand at the cusp of the year’s deepest darkness — a liminal passage asking us to rest, rekindle our inner ember, and reacquaint ourselves with the softer rooms of our own being.

But here’s the quiet truth: most of us were never taught how to do that.

We were conditioned to barrel through winter. To dismiss the fatigue. To keep producing, performing, persevering. To pretend we’re fine even when our inner world is begging for a moment of stillness.

But our spirits yearn for something else — something tender, unhurried, unadorned.

Which is why Omen Days will return this year. (More on that next week.) The Omen Days offer a gentle, deep, restorative way for closing the year with grace, intention, and a glimpse into what 2026 is weaving.

And yes — I’ll be hosting a Solstice gathering to help us cross the threshold of the longest night with reverence and warmth.

On December 4th, we welcome the luminous Cold Moon.

This moon arrives like a lantern in the frost — aligned with Yuletide, humming with old magic.

Its teaching is ancient: rest, renewal, the quiet promise of beginnings wrapped inside endings. It marks the culmination of our journey around the sun, encouraging us to pause, to breathe, to soften.

It may feel counterintuitive to slow down when the world is screaming for speed, but remember: your worth has never lived inside your productivity.

Let the Cold Moon be your invitation to hibernate a little — to occupy your moments with presence, delight, and the small things that make your heart glow.

This is a season thick with transformation, inner excavation, and the sacred alchemy of becoming. A time to recharge, reconnect, and return to yourself and the ones you love.

Do you see how beautifully it all interlaces?

You are not separate from the seasons.

You are the season — unfolding, deepening, shifting — just as nature does.

So I am so tickled to see new guides wanting to come and chat with you this week.  These gorgeous guides invite you to find out  –What your soul wants you to know.

Okay my darling one, take a breath.  Envision you are standing out in the dark, the brisk cold wind hits your cheeks and you light a candle.  The flame flickers and dances with the night sky behind it.  As you gaze at the flame, take a breath and allow yourself to rest and relax.  Listen to the whispers of your Soul.

Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that make your Soul tickle.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s see what your Soul wants to share with you……

SIMPLICITY

Do what matters; and release the rest to find peace, grace and stillness.  

Clear all the internal and external clutter!

Your soul wants you to know, one of the fastest ways to align with the tranquil vibration of the Creator/Creatrix/Divine – whatever name you use – is through simplicity.

A busy life and the accumulation of more than you need creates static; it can be difficult to hear the voice of Spirit when there’s mental chaos in your life.

Create time to rest and rejuvenate.  Clear the clutter in your home, the files in your computer, and the drawers at work.  (And I can see you rolling your eyes!)

Even a small amount of this cleansing can make an immense difference.

Create a feeling of simplicity, and know the grace of the Divine.

Repeat to yourself:  Deep, Profound Serenity is Expanding in My Life.  

PASSION

Follow your bliss!  (Yeah I know you have heard that before, but……. It’s true).

Discover what you absolutely love to do or be, and then, like an arrow directed at its target, don’t let anything stop you from fulfilling your passion!

Your soul wants you to know – If you’re having difficulty discovering what you’re passionate about, go back into your childhood and remember what gave you joy then.

If you loved to dance as a child, sign up for a movement class.  Better yet, put on music and dance your soxs off in the living room to your Soul’s delight.  

If you adored crayons, pull out those colours and splash their bright hues from one side of the page to the other.

If you enjoyed observing insects in your backyard, maybe sign up for a nature study course.

Once you are clear on what you are passionate about, do whatever it takes to follow that – don’t wait until it’s too late.

Many people declare that they will follow their bliss when they retire or have extra time, and consequently they never experience the absolute exuberance of life.

If not now when?  Live your life with passion! What are you waiting for?

Repeat to yourself:  I passionately accept and love myself!

SILENCE

Can you be still and take the time to move into the silent place within yourself?  That place which is your internal power source?


Your soul wants you to know – The world is super loud and often at the end of the day you flop into bed with all sorts swimming in your head.  In silence you’ll find your sacred witness.  It’s the dwelling place of your Soul.  

Your Spirit loves the truth, and in peace you can seek and discover your truth.

If you are in pain, go into it until you find the source so it can be healed. Move past the bustle and chatter of life into sweet quietude, and surrender to stillness.  Resist the temptation to indulge in feelings of overwhelm, urgency, and emergency.

Your power is born in silence.

Seek solitude to listen to the voice of  your higher self and awaken your inner wisdom; this peace gives birth to your serenity.

Repeat to yourself – I am Serene, No Matter what is occurring around me.

Gorgeous one, allow yourself to move a bit more gently with yourself.  Keep your eyes peeled for The Omen Days, you will love it and the Solstice gathering.  Sending you massive hugs and warm soxs and tea!

Belonging in the Season of the Otherworld

· ·

Gorgeous Soul,

We’ve stepped across a threshold, love.
We’re officially in the season of the Otherworld. 🍂

The winds of autumn are carrying whispers from the unseen realm, and this month’s reading comes as a balm for the nervous system with one clear, steady message:

You belong.

No matter what chaos is blowing in from the outer world right now, the message for October is simple and profound—we can create stone circles of stability within ourselves.

Anchors in times of change.

Places where we remember: we are heard, we are held, we are not alone.

Why Autumn Feels Different

The ancient Celts knew this. They felt autumn as the richest time of year to connect with the unseen. The veil thins, the harvest comes in, and the visible world above ground begins to retreat back into the earth. That’s when the Otherworld rises closer—full of healing, creativity, and possibility.

And haven’t you felt it? That subtle shift? The way dreams turn wilder, intuitions grow sharper, and sometimes your ancestors seem to slip into the room beside you?

Autumn holds both withering and abundance. It asks us to gather in what has ripened and to let go of what no longer serves. It carries loss and it carries possibility.

It is an initiation into your own mythical unfolding.

Creating Your Stone Circle

When I think of this season, I think of stone circles—ritual places built at thresholds, aligned with the solstices, equinoxes, and stars. They were meant to hold people steady through great change.

This month’s invitation is to create your own “stone circle.”
✨ Maybe it’s a quiet corner in your home that you return to each week.
✨ Maybe it’s time set aside for meditation, journaling, or walking in nature.
✨ Maybe it’s a candle lit every evening, marking your center.

Whatever it looks like for you, let it be your anchor. A place where you can step back into your inner world, reconnect with your own center, and remember your belonging.

Because here’s the truth: if you are not at the center of your own world, your world has no center. Autumn is reminding you now—it’s safe to take that place. It’s necessary.

The Thinning of the Veil

October always carries huge gifts, messages and visions for me.

Ancestors show up in my dreams, insights arrive unannounced, new pathways open.

And I want you to be open to that too.

Yes, the outer world may feel chaotic this month.

But inside, through your anchor points, you can connect to something steady and luminous. Think of it as touching into rainbows underground while the storm rages above.

This is the balance of autumn—the seen world fading, the unseen rising.

And in that balance, your soul expands.

The Aries Super Full Moon – October 7

This Full Moon is like an exhale after the intensity of the eclipses. It’s asking: What are you ready to let go of? What has served its time?

Because it’s the first Full Moon since Equinox, it also brings to fruition intentions seeded back in March. Something you began earlier this year may now come to harvest—or return for another layer of learning.

And, by just a day, this moon is the Harvest Moon. It invites you to gather what this year has given you—not only food or things, but the wisdom, the lessons, the growth.

Even as baskets fill, the withering begins. And that’s the deeper teaching: endings are not failures, they are the natural turn toward rest.

Walking with the Ancestors

As we move toward Samhain, ancestry is alive in the air. The same moonlight that shines on your face once touched those who walked before you.

Their presence is woven into this season, reminding us that we belong to something larger, older, and enduring.

So this October, build your stone circle. Touch into your center. Let yourself belong—to yourself, to your ancestors, to this living, breathing world.

Because you are not walking this season alone.
You are heard.
You are held.
✨ You belong.

So with all that being shared and said. Take a breath, see a glorious stone circle that welcomes you and then pick the card or cards that whisper.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

HOWL WITH FIERCENESS

Wolves, like women, have been regulated to the dangerous side of wildlife.

Both species are greatly misunderstood and often accused of menace.

Yet women, like wolves, possess a propensity for courage in the face of danger, strength in the quest for well-being, and loyalty to mate and tribe.

When we are no longer willing to shame ourselves for our natural fierceness, or condemn ourselves (or others) for the need to love and hunt and roam free, Wild Woman rises.

What do you need to be fierce about?

Are you willing to let it out?

If you are choking down your words to “fit in” and call it a life, you are being invited to tap into your wolf energy.

GATHER YOUR TRIBE

They say your vibe attracts your tribe, and nothing brings them to you more swiftly than when you’re willing to be clear about who you are and what you want and why you want it.

No more people pleasing to make others happy.

If you have to contort and compromise, they’re not your people.

When we allow and attract versus contort and demand, we gather the lost pieces of ourselves together and Wild Woman rises.

Where is the box feeling a tad tight?

Where are you not using your authentic, delicious soul voice?

CHAMPION PEACE

Your mind is a temple where peace yearns to be worshipped.

It’s easy to respond to war with war, especially within ourselves.

One judgemental thought leads to another and soon your mind is a battle zone.

But peace and war cannot rule simultaneously.  

You get to choose who will rule the mind’s temple.

Right now you’re being invited to become an advocate of peace.

When we choose love over fear and peace over war, Wild Woman rises.

Do you fill your mind with the news, hate the divisiveness and allow it to take hold?

Where do you let yourself in your mind and body walk in love and peace?

Oh my golly goodness!  You seriously can’t make this shit up!  What perfect guides for this time!!!  So my gorgeous one, I wish for you a week where you invite in the stone circle, create your anchor points and allow yourself to breathe in your ancestors, whether of blood or choice – and start to listen to their guidance.

Sending you massive hugs and squeezes!

September is here and the energy has changed. Fall Equinox is coming!

· ·

Happy Melodious, Musical, Magickal, Miraculous, Magnetic, Majestic, Manifesting Monday! 

September is here, you can smell the difference in the air here.  The mornings are cooler and the geese have started flying and the acorns are dropping like mini grenades as I walk under the Garry Oaks!  

I love September (I know for some that sounds weird), but I love the impending Fall, it’s a time of harvest, a gathering together. 

The mornings are crisper, the days are still warm, but there is that sense of change.

Kids are going back to school, starting a new class and making new friends.  University starts again and all sorts of courses such as drumming, music, spanish and a myriad of others are offered up.

The lazy, hazy days of summer are winding down and there is a shift in the energy that invites us to try something new (even if you aren’t school age) and to be willing to release the old that may be a tad too tight (like a kids outgrown running shoes).  

There is also a sense of melancholy for some people when Fall starts to whisper with her crisp breathe.  The leaves are going to change and then drop from the tree and the days are most certainly getting shorter – and for some this can feel uncomfortable and lonely.  Which I can totally appreciate.

Fall Equinox is almost here (and I love this celebration).  It is known as Mabon and is the second harvest,  beginning of August we celebrated the first harvest festival which was Lammas. 

This festival is a time to look at the seeds that you sowed in the Spring, on every level, and reflect on how they have manifested.  Most crops are in and the fields are beginning to look brown and are slowly going to sleep for the winter (unless they are filled with gorgeous orange pumpkins). 

This is a time to celebrate the abundance and the harvest, as well as to make plans for the winter and to create community. But we will explore that more over the next couple of weeks. 

The energy of September (according to the ever amazing Lena), has changed and it is RATTLING THE CAGE!  (Gulp!)  

As Lena shares:-  “

This month we have 2 eclipses and the Equinox making for an intense time of rattling the structures of our foundations of stability, old patterns and anything we may be fiercely attached to. We have heard the phrase, “shaken to awaken” from others and that is exactly the energy of this eclipse time. 

The more stubborn the structure, the more intense the rattling and shake up may be.

Some of you may experience traumatic events that open your instinctive center of survival, giving you the opportunity to clear old patterns and dump karmic debris.

And for some of you the rattling may be simply an experience of discomfort in a situation where you receive more clarity about what you really want, leading to better choices in your life. Whatever the case may be, the most important thing is to manage the aftermath proactively so you can use the lessons and guidance of the events to support your own change.

We are unpacking the trigger of the last New Moon in Virgo that prompted a new beginning. While our energy field got the message, the old habits of the personality and the physical body are slow to catch up and need some prompting and reminding of what we don’t want. So stay out of judgment, blame and martyrdom if you find yourself in one of these reminder situations, and know you have created it for yourself to fast track your personal growth and transformation.”

We are in the midst of the Eclipse portal and the invitation to really step into who you are, what you desire, is huge!

Okay, I have chuntered a ton (not a surprise), so let’s crack on with the reading. 

When I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide this week, the glorious Faery Forest Oracle were adamant, which made me smile a lot. 

“May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.”  

Re-read that last line about inspiring and urging us…… 

Okay, take a moment and come back to your body.  Just breathe yourself back. Allow in your mind’s eye the smell of the Fall air to whisper around you, the sense of the new and possible.  The pieces or desires you have put on the back burner.  Breathe it in, welcome it in.  Sit with it. 

And then when you are ready, pick a card or cards.   

Ready to pick?

Shall we go look?

SHE WHO LAUGHS

There is within your life now a great heaviness, an earnestness, and a sense of great gravity to nearly every situation unfolding.  Yes, this is of great importance, and yes, there are consequences to consider. But it is time for you to receive the healing power of laughter, the power that lifts the darkness and releases energy that is stagnant, cold, and heavy from our energy field, indeed from our limbs and cells and hearts.

For you, this laughter is as necessary as surgery at this moment, as it will shake loose the cords strapping you tightly to burdens you no longer need to carry.

Let the light break through, and laugh – as without laughter, there can be no perspective, without laughter, there can be no movement forward, without laughter, there can be a sense of deep abiding resentment.  Lift this!! Let She Who Laughs begin to help you seek out moments, people, and situations that stir the sense of the ridiculousness within you, and let the healing and the release of laughter roll through you and lift away the pain at the centre of your being.  

Its time is passing.  It will melt away with tears of laughter that fall and cleanse and free you from the past….For now, the sun breaks through, and your eyes shine once again with mirth and joy.

Welcome back to the world of delight, friend.  It’s time.  

THE ANCIENT

The Ancient is so old she is almost beyond time.  She is able to speak the truth without compromise – as are you.  She is so old, has experienced so much, learned and taught so many lessons, that she has become powerful and influential, just as you are becoming, too.  So too are you growing older, coming into wisdom. She knows that while others are now going to come to you for advice and guidance, she sees your humanity – your faults and your flaws and your feelings of unworthiness.  She wishes to reassure you.

Others will come to you, seeking knowledge, awaiting a blessing, an initiation, and oblivious to the consequences of the path they wish to walk.  Wisdom, true wisdom, understands complexity, and you have developed this quality. The Ancient is honourable and human, and yet more than human, and she is courageous and has made sacrifices – as have you.  She sees straight through comforting illusions – as do you.

She represents ancient tradition and the challenge of defining the self, yet remaining with a tradition that you value – and this too is one of your challenges.  So take responsibility in your life. You will face the battle of choice, and you will be the antidote to gurus and dominant personalities who claim to have all the answers.  The Ancient recognises the challenge of being a teacher. This immersion in a world to learn the ancient arts and venerate wisdom and old ways can be expressed in many forms, but everything you are now learning has value.  She is the repository for ancient secrets and the contact between worlds. She is wise – and she has learned to consider every word that falls from her lips, even as she longs to call out for freedom. 

ASTRILD

When we love, we can gaze directly into the soul of another human being for a while.  This in-love sensation reminds us of who we can truly be when we connect with our own self-love.  We feel complete, adored, and we open wide to the experience. Energy surges through us, we crave the touch of the beloved.  

We are, for a time, quite mad.  The love fire has been lit within you, and you are being asked to allow your own self-love to ignite in return.  You are feeling sensual, ready to make love, to explore the boundaries of physical sensation, and you wish reality would simply leave you be for a time so you can fully explore this craving and desire.

About you is the sensation of fulfilment, of satisfaction, and for a time, you will live between the worlds while this powerful experience shakes you to the core.  And all the while, this faery being gazes into your heart, willing you to remember that not only do you love, you are worth loving.

Astrild’s cool green gaze observes the fire within you, and will remind you again and again that to love yourself, and to love another with all of your heart, is a kind of baptism, a blessing, a ritual, and a trial by fire.  

Passion is your whole world.  Let the fire embrace you, purify you, and keep walking through the flames of love.  

Wowzer, some delicious energy and guidance there!  Enjoy the crispness, the smells, the beginning of the leaves changing and we will explore more of what Fall Equinox brings next week. Also, quite a few of you have contacted me about a reading. I will be opening the doors to those at Equinox.

Have a fabulous week and huge hugs and squeezes!

It’s Okay to Be Kind and the Buck/Blessing Moon this week remind us of that.

· ·

Happy Magnificent, Mellow, Manifesting, Magickal Monday!

How were your celebrations?  I stayed low key on Canada Day as my quad is torn, so being around 70,000 people was not my jam.

And with a torn quad I couldn’t go walk in the Pride parade, but I could go watch, which was fabulous.

Okay, let’s have a brief chat about resentment, forgiveness and being kind, shall we?

After all we have the Blessing Full Moon on July 10th – so let’s frigging do it!

So I had an interesting experience this week.  First off it’s my nature to be kind and to help where I can, hence why I work as a counsellor, lay chaplain, spiritual guide, assist people as they are dying, healing, birthing with ritual and love. Okay?

So one of my boys phoned to let me know my ex-husband had moved here into basically a shit pit and had hip surgery at 54 years old on July 2nd, and could I please help him get the space together (I mean there weren’t even frigging appliances in the space!)

Appreciating I haven’t really talked to my ex husband for 20 years as he turned our marriage into an abusive, narcissistic, toxic festival – which was why I left with 5 kids and walked away.

But I’ve done a lot of work and forgiveness around that marriage, and I am grateful for the children that we created (and believe me, when I say a lot of work – I mean a lot of work of letting go of old stories, abuse, diminishment etc!)

So when my boyyo asked for help with this, of course my response was YES!

Why?  

Because as I said – I have done the work which is some of what I teach.  I don’t hold resentment, to me it’s a person who needs help.  

So yes, I can go clean the shit hole and make it presentable before he gets out of hospital.

Yes, I can make soups galore and healthy snacks to support him through this healing process.  

Yes, I can grab him a microwave and a kettle (remember, no appliances) and boyyo is grabbing a small fridge.  So he can heal, eat and thrive.

Interestingly enough when I talked to my best friend and told her that I was doing this, she railed all over me!  “Don’t  you remember the broken bones, don’t you remember the toxic emails, don’t you remember…………”

Yes, I do.  

“You can’t do this, he would never do it for you!”

No he wouldn’t (he’s a narcissist).  But that’s his path, not mine.

It’s okay to be kind as long as you aren’t doing it out of a caretaking energy or a people pleasing.

As humans, we are all interdependent and connected and we can only do what we can do.  But holding onto resentment, judgement and the stories one has created are toxic to you, not them.

So I am choosing to be kind, as he is a human being – but more so for my kids sake as they were the ones that asked.  

Over the years I have sent this man Blessings galore, as one of the most powerful gifts you can give someone is a Blessing.  

Now when I use the word Blessing, I’m not talking about the Bible interpretation.  

One of my favourite authors, John O’Donohue, says that a blessing is an innovation, a calling forth.  


The word may is often used in blessings because it imagines and wills the fulfillment of desire.

It’s more a case of calling in grace, love, something bigger than myself to offer support, and let’s be honest – you can offer up a Blessing for anything. 

 It could be a person who you feel has done you wrong, you can bless those that you see struggling, you can bless a situation, you can bless a meal.  It’s the inviting in of something far, far bigger than yourself to enter the space with loving kindness.  

I find it super powerful, give Blessing a try.  What do you have to lose?

Being Kind, Blessings and the Solstice energy tie in deliciously with the Buck/Blessing Moon energy which is coming in on July 10th..

The spiritual meaning of this Moon is a powerful time for abundance, strength, passion and blessings.  

This moon is a lovely time to reflect on your life and decide what steps you’d like to take next. What vistas are you willing to perceive in your life? What are you open to?

Make time for fun and joy! Turn off technology and be present in the joyous season of summer. 

Find activities that fill up your soul with happiness and pleasure as this is when blessings galore come flooding in.

The full moon illuminates a time of heightened emotions and potent creativity.

There is nothing quite like being outside under the light of a full moon. The full moon has been the inspiration for poetry, songs, and movies, (remember the 1987 classic Moonstruck?) The full moon’s spiritual meaning illuminates a time of heightened emotions and potent creativity.

When the moon is fully illuminated by the sun’s rays, the view from Earth is that of a complete orb, seemingly emitting its own light. Time spent under this reflected light of the full moon has the power to be transformational, intense, and inspiring. It can also add intensity to whatever emotions are living in you, so it’s helpful to be intentional about what you are focusing on.

The full moon offers an opportunity to sit in the fullness of your life. It is a time to feel deep gratitude for the many blessings you have and experience. 

Now enough chuntering from me, let’s crack on with the reading.   When I went to the cards to ask who would like to be present this week it made my heart smile to see who showed up.  The amazing Faery Blessing guides were most adamant.  As after all, who doesn’t need a Blessing?

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them as it would be rude not to.

Faeries are present in every droplet of water, every blade of grass – they are everywhere there is a trace of nature – thus every field, flower, and forest is theirs.  They inhabit the wild rainforests and the old castles; they dance within standing stones and burial mounds; they are on the top of mountains and within the grove deep in the valley; and they appear in the cracks in the pavement and beneath the cities in the old, tangled tree roots.  Faeries are part of this world, and they were here before we were born into this world, and they know us better than we know ourselves.  

For humans, many of us have lost our sense of play, our sense of relationship with nature, our courage to be ourselves – as well as our hope, creativity, and personal power.  We have looked outside of ourselves and nature and the sacred ones for answers, and in doing so, we have become quite lost.  The blessings of the faeries can bring us back into relationship with ourselves, back into relationship with the elements and the elementals, so that we can become more at home within the world, while creating a personal world which supports our dreams, our wishes, and our purpose.  

Yes!  Positively perfect!

So gorgeous one take a breath.  Just a normal breath and then as you carry on breathing allow it to slow down.  Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.  Allow in your mind’s eye a gorgeous rainbow swirl to form, this pattern is made of loss and abundance.  It holds any anger, resentment or grief you may feel about a person, place, situation or thing and it melds with the abundance and appreciation of who you are.  As you breathe just let it swirl, you don’t have to control it.  

Then with this energy pick the card or cards that call to you.  What Blessing is for you this week?

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

A BLESSING FROM QUEEN MAB

The Faery Gift of Being the Ruler of Your Own World

With this faery gift from the formidable and enchanting faery queen, Queen Mab, comes the blessing of being the owner of your own life.  This is a powerful blessing indeed, for with this blessing comes the most precious gift of all, that of knowing that your life is yours to live.  

With this blessing, let you now take up the reins of your life, let you decide what it is you do, and who it is you are, and who you are now becoming.  It is your life, this wild and sweet thing, to be lived only once, and it is rare and priceless.  You shall no longer be owned, nor forced, nor pushed, nor pulled, for with her gift comes the solidity of determining your own fate – for you are a being who has often been pressured to give away the crown that declares that you are the sovereign.  With this blessing, it is returned to you.

Let yourself be a queen, a king, and know your world is as great as any other person’s.  Your life is a jewel, and no more shall you spend it pleasing others.  When this blessing comes to you, all who you know you will love and support you, and you will now take back the power that you gave away.  You will climb the stairs to your throne and look upon your world and know that you will be a strong leader of your own soul.  And you will inspire others to do the same.

With this gift from Queen Mab will come the sure knowledge of what is wise for you to do, and what would be foolish, and to know the difference between pleasing others and doing what is in the very best interest of the path of your soul.

You faery friend, are a magnificent being, and your life, your world, and your very being are royal.  Be most loyal to your ownself, and know now the gift of great and deep self-respect, and of choosing what is right for you.

Blessings of the great and good Queen Mab to you, friend.

A BLESSING OF A FAERY GUARDIAN

A Faery Gift of Magickal Protection and Lifelong, True Loving Care.

At your birth into this world, human child, a faery came to you and offered you the blessings of your soul.  For each of us, this blessing will be unique, created especially for the journey we are destined to take in this lifetime.  So, with this blessing, may you know again the beauty and sweetness of your own faery godmother, your faery guardian.  For she is still with you, helping to ease the way and remind you, as often as she is able to pierce the veil, that you are her charge, and she will remain with you all the days of this life.

May you now feel the presence of her love; may you feel that sense of being looked out for, that there is one being from the elemental world who works with your soul and helps you at all times.  

When this blessing comes, tune in to her presence and know that all about you there is comfort, and goodness, and a way to move through all difficulties.  Yoru faery guardian has always been with you this lifetime, and will remain until you have journeyed on.  Know you are her most precious charge, and when times become troubled, and life seems bleak, know there is a being whose duty it is to bring you back to hope, to optimism, to the sense that you are a gifted, cherished being.  Feel now the love of the faery guardian, your own faery godmother, and believe again in your own blessedness.

A BLESSING OF CLEAR FORESIGHT

The Faery Gift of Knowing what is likely to come from the dimension we humans call the future.

A gift is given this day to you, a blessing of the faeries true.  This gift is that of the long vision, the ability to see the consequences of actions taken in the present and, indeed, the outcome of decisions of the past.  With this blessing of clear foresight, may you be blessed with the ability to see the lasting influence of what it is you choose to do – what will you be granting to the future of this world, to the children, to the ones who come after.

May you understand, therefore, what would be best for you to do, not only for your own self – though it is good and right for you to think of yourself – but of what is best for those  you love and for those who come after us all.  For the faeries love long, and see many a human unable to contemplate beyond their own needs – and, in that moment, unthinking of consequences, create a future they do not wish to inhabit fully.  With this amazing faery gift, this enchanted ability to see further into the dimension of time, you will make the best decision for yourself now and for the future and the future of others.  Time unfurls before you, a green scroll unwritten upon, but one upon which you can see what could come.  

Take this blessing and use it wisely, for the fae, for the human children, and for the betterment of your own precious self.  

Faery blessings of the long foresight to you, friend.

BLESSED BE

And so it is.  May your week be filled with Blessings galore. 

May you have strong boundaries but still be kind.  Huge Blessings and smooches!
