Full Moon

What does the Full Moon Symbolise?

The full moon has been spoken and written about for millennia across many cultures.

The Chinese, for example, associate the full moon with the essence of yin (female energy). Buddhists, on the other hand, see the full moon as symbolising spiritual power (as Buddha supposedly gained his enlightenment on a night of the full moon) and many sacred festivals are held during the full moon.

In secular folklore, the full moon has been associated with lunacy (madness), insomnia, and psychological disturbances – hence the term “lunatic” (which derives from the Latin word ‘lunaticus’ which means moon-struck).

In astrology, the full moon is a peak of energy that highlights opposing polarities and forces in your life. It is also a time of harvest (or reaping what you have sown).

The full moon is a time where one’s psychic energy increases, and powerful intentions, spells, and rituals can be practised. The full moon also represents the mother aspect of the divine feminine.

When the Moon and Sun are in opposition, the Sun is so far away from the moon that the full face of our nightly companion is lit up. Perhaps distance does make the heart grow fonder!

The Full Moon embodies self-expression and action! It represents completion, illumination and celebration.

This is the apex of Moon phases, the mountain peak. We have travelled far, and now is the time to rest, and look back on our accomplishments, or at what we have left behind, as the case may be.

How much have you grown this past month, honour the small and large victories. What questions arose this past month, or need to be illuminated further? What losses need to be honoured? What do you need to Forgive?

Is it time to let go and move on, or should you build a shrine to remind us for a time of what is now in the afterworld?

Our emotions and even physical body are heightened during this phase of the Moon. Listen to the needs of your body and mind.

The opposing energy of the Sun (ego, or self) and the Moon (inner-self, subconscious) can cause tension or even explosions of emotions. Because of this tension, this is a great time to express yourself creatively, and your rituals can reflect this.

When we boil down the symbolic meaning of the full moon, however, the themes of amplification, subconscious power, release and illumination continually arise.

But then how do I do I Full Moon Ritual that resonates for me is a question I hear a lot.

Come explore……

What is a Full Moon Ritual and How to Create Your Very Own.

Jenny Heston · 5:55 am ·

The most important thing you need to know about the power of the full moon ritual is that it utilises four essential elements of any transformative spiritual practice: willpower, intention, symbolism, and ritual.

These four elements have a truly electric and intense impact on the unconscious mind. The whole point of a full moon ritual is to generate deep change within the nether regions of your mind, aka your unconscious.

The unconscious mind is the realm of potential, the space in which your soul emerges, and the doorway to Spirit (or the Collective Unconscious). By doing a full moon ritual, you are stepping into your personal power and actively petitioning and preparing your unconscious mind for transformation.

In other words, there is so much more to full moon rituals than pretty candles or crystals – it’s ultimate purpose is genuine spiritual and psychological change.

Now with all that being said, if “creating a Full Moon ritual” feels too much, or you have no interest in doing one. Then don’t.

The world will not come tumbling to an end because you didn’t, nobody is going to knock on your door and ask to see your Moon Journal…….

However, I do encourage you to try working with Moon energy (New and Full) for at least 4 months. What have you got to lose?

As you will often hear me saying – it has to resonate for you and your intention for your ritual is EVERYTHING!

How to Create Your Own Full Moon Ritual.

Okay, you’ve come this far and have decided okay maybe I want to test out this Full Moon thing. After all, if the Moon can move the tides which are water and me being human is composed mainly of water…. Let’s give it a shot.

Fabulous!

Let me give you the nitty gritty basics. A Full Moon Ritual consists of 4 main parts.

Eye of bat, tongue of newt, the tailfeather of a hawk and a glob of spit! (I am so joking here!!)

The best thing about making your own 100% tailored-to-you full moon ritual is that it works around your needs, daily schedule, interests, and the current objects you have on hand.

You don’t need to go out and buy a load of metaphysical paraphernalia to enact a powerful full moon ritual nor do you need to make it Instagram-worthy.

What you do need to do is:

1. Checking when the Full Moon is.

You can use a Full Moon app, Google, or whatever. Ask yourself if you want to work with the Moon astrologically (in otherwords what sign it’s in), seasonally, or just as she comes.

2. Think about what you would like amplified or illuminated within you.

Are there problems that are niggling away at you? What shadows need to come to light? What archetypes would you like to embody? What do you need to let go of? What skills or inner resources do you need to draw on? Reflect on these questions or journal about them. What are your desired outcomes? What is the reason behind your full moon ritual?

3. Shape your Intention

Once you have completed the previous step (which hopefully won’t take too long), it’s time to set an intention which basically means a goal or objective.

What do you want to achieve? What will be the purpose of your full moon ritual? Write out your full moon intention in your journal or a piece of paper that you can keep and reflect on. This is why in the New Moon piece I recommend having a Moon journal. As then you are able to reflect and see the progress and changes you have experienced, that you may have forgotten.

4. Prepare some symbolic objects

Whether on the day/night of the full moon or beforehand, select some symbolic objects that could represent your issue, desire, yourself as a whole, your current place in life, what you need to let go of, your strengths, weaknesses, what needs to be illuminated … you get the picture.

Basically, choose any object currently in your house that represents the part of you or your situation that needs to be amplified or illuminated.

Examples of symbolic objects could include rocks, feathers, flowers, dolls, crystals, cards, figurines, herbs, stamps, old jewellery – literally anything that you feel represents your issue or desire accurately.

And if you don’t have any around you, don’t worry, grab a candle, your favourite crystal or whatever you would like to have with you.

5. Create a Sacred Space for yourself and give it a Cleanse.

Create a space specifically to your ritual that is undisturbed.

You may already have an altar somewhere in your house, and if so, that is perfect. If you don’t find a place in your home, garden, the woods that feels right for you. Remember ritual doesn’t have to go on for hours, it can be 10 – 15 minutes long.

When you have your space give it a nice cleanse. You can use smudge, incense, singing bowls, hand clapping to clear out the energetic debris. Whatever you choose, it’s important that your unconscious mind symbolically registers that the space you’re preparing is sacred and important.

This is time for you and the Moon.

6. Perform your Full Moon ritual

You don’t need to spend hours doing an elaborate ritual. Even just a couple of minutes can be enough to create and evoke a strong message within your unconscious mind.

With your symbolic objects at hand, arrange them in a way that feels powerful to you.

You could arrange them according to your desires, e.g. you could place two symbolic objects together symbolising a union.

You could arrange your objects according to a symbol, e.g. a circle representing wholeness or completing.

You could burn one of the objects or submerge it in a bowl of water representing letting go. (I’m a huge fan of burning things!)

You could place an object on your body and symbolically ‘breathe’ it in.

You could consume one of the objects (if it’s edible and non-toxic) to symbolise empowerment, strength, and renewal. This is your ritual and there are no rules!

7. Symbolically close your ritual

No matter how you choose to design your ritual, always symbolically close/end it.

Your unconscious mind needs to understand that the ritual is over (think of closing your ritual as hitting the “send” button).

Leaving the ritual open without intentionally closing it sends confusing signals to your unconscious mind.

Closing your ritual is simple. Once again, close it however you intuitively feel is the right way. Examples may include ringing a bell, saying a prayer of thanks, chanting, saying a phrase like “so may it be,” and so forth.

The important thing is there is no perfect right way to create a Full Moon ritual (and if anyone tells you that, please run!). Your intention, attention and time are the most important pieces.

Remember where your intention goes, your energy flows and so calling on the Moon energy to amplify and support you is delicious (and most certainly start keeping a Moon journal!)

Let’s see what the Harvest Moon ritual looks like.

Full Moon Energy.

What is the Spiritual meaning of a Full Moon?

There is no one answer to this question, as the full moon carries different meanings for different people.

The moon is such a powerful presence in our lives, pulling on the oceans tides and creating a rhythm of life for all of us. There was a time when we were deeply connected to these rhythms, but, over time, technology and our modern culture has separated us from those celestial vibes.

Aligning yourself with the cycles of nature as a practice can be exceptionally transformative and tapping into the energy phases of the moon is a good place to start.

However, in general, the full moon can be seen as a time of culmination and release.

It is a time when things brewing under the surface come to light, and it is also a time when we can let go of the things that are no longer serving us.

Since ancient times, the moon has come to symbolically embody the realm of the subconscious, emotions, intuition, and the cycles of life and death.

You don’t necessarily need to identify as a pagan or practice other earth-centered spiritual paths to benefit from the power of full moon rituals.

When viewed through a symbolic, psychospiritual, archetypal, or even purely energetic lens, the moon is a very real presence in our lives that can help orient us on the spiritual path.

No matter where you live in the world, the moon is an omnipresent force in your life.

Why not use it in your spiritual practice?

It is hard to see what lies ahead when we are in the dark.

The bright shining moon helps guide our way forward like a lighthouse at sea. It’s encouraging us on our journey towards self-discovery and providing illuminating light that allows hidden aspects to emerge.

The glow of the full moon is a time to reflect and heal. This is where understanding how to create a Full Moon Ritual and what the Full Moon symbolises is very helpful and will expand your experience.

The Full Moon helps us gain strength and reach our goals successfully. During the full moon phase, emotions are more intense, bringing up feelings about past events and healing old wounds.

But what does the Full Moon Symbolise for me and how can I work with it?

Welcome in the Buck Super Moon and remember – Pause on the Threshold, don’t push.

Jenny Heston · 4:11 pm ·

Happy Marvellous, Magickal, Mesmerising, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Holy hannah, it’s the second week of July! How was your long weekend (if you were in North America?) Did you take time to relax, play and enjoy yourself?

Personally, I celebrated my Canada Day by driving for 13 hours in the baking heat through mountain passes, then massive highways to make a ferry sailing so that I could get home in time to hike to the top of the massive rock hill behind me and sit in the dark with my dog and watch the fireworks!

I had spent the prior week back in Nelson, saying goodbye to a 29 year chapter of my life, and closing a 4 year circle that I had opened with my sister Fi.

It was very intense, draining, emotional, stressful and also liberating.

What was most interesting, being back in the town where I had lived so long and raised my kids, was realising the full depth of the saying “You can never step in the same spot of the river twice.”

The town had changed, it didn’t have the cosy, funky, welcoming vibe it used to, and I have changed. So albeit it was great to see my best friend, and people I know, as well as some family, it was a pure delight to haul arse and come home, be near the ocean and surrounded by rich, lush coastal greenery.

So as I filter these changes, and embrace all the glorious new opportunities, I’ve felt inclined to keep myself to myself, when not working with clients and Creatrix Circle, as there is a fragility filled with strength in play.

Thus, there has been a lot of time spent out in Nature listening to the hawks and eagles, writing, pondering, harvesting herbs and flowers for winter teas, creating cool things and purging lots of old “stuff”, literally and figuratively. It’s also the 3 year anniversary of my sister dying so there are lots of “bits” coming up.

It’s been fascinating to watch this process unfold, and I am honouring the transition by allowing time for the feels to come up and not pushing a darn thing!

Let’s be honest, our culture is not fabulous at honouring or marking transitions of any type.

Whether it is a coming of age, a divorce, a loss, a win or a limbo state – it’s more a case of “get over it and get on with it”, which is not helpful. Any transition no matter how small is a threshold and a glorious container of wisdom, liminal space and magick.

“A threshold is a space to imagine a new way, and a new self. Not moving or pushing but sitting and cultivating… The goal is to allow you space and time to reflect on your past, present, and future. To imagine a new beginning…”

Rev. Sara LaWall

So this is one reason I am very much looking forward to the glorious Full Super Moon that comes to us on Wednesday, July 13th, as there are some release pieces that I energetically feel impelled to work with, and this is the moon to support them.

So let’s talk about this Full Moon shall we?

On Wednesday we welcome in the Capricorn Super Full Moon, also known as the Buck Super Moon.

While the days are long, the nights are short, which makes the Buck Moon’s spiritual meaning all the more magical.

Yet, this Super Full Moon is definitely a heavier one, but there are so many jewels hidden in its depths if we are willing to dive to the bottom or climb to the top to reach them. Those that make the journey will not regret it!

As this is the second of three Super Full Moons, it is also likely that there is more to the picture and more to be revealed come August’s Super Full Moon.

“This Full Moon calls for us to take responsibility for our lives and the direction they are travelling.

If we are not happy, if we are not fulfilled, if we are not spending our time how we wish to, this Full Moon beckons us to take charge and own up to any of our self-sabotaging actions which may have led us here.

Confronting what is not working and taking responsibility for how some things have unfolded can always be challenging, but there is a power to be found in doing this work, there is a power in addressing what we may be doing to contribute and how we can turn things around to get our lives closer to where we want to be.”

Letting go, closing doors, saying goodbye can all be hard things to do, but this Full Moon is our opportunity to re-write our next chapter, to refashion our dreams and goals that didn’t work out, and to know that all we experience is a part of life and a part of making us stronger.

There are truly no wrong paths in this life, just lessons, that make us wiser, better, and more capable human beings.

The Buck Moon is a lovely time to reflect on your life and decide what steps you’d like to take next.

Okay, I’ve chuntered on (I am very good at doing that when something ignites me), so let’s crack on with the reading. The cards that wiggled and jiggled made me smile as they are fabulous guides for this time. If they are new to you, please let me introduce you:

It is time. It is that Once Upon a Time again. Time to return to our relationship with the wild places, the wild ones, the faeries and our wildish selves. For as we do, miracles of healing will occur. Just as faeries cleanse and purify the water, the air, the earth, the fire and the spirit, when we reweave our sacred alliance with the faery realms, we too begin to heal. From our sadness. Our loneliness. From our souls that cry out for the poetry that is the soul of the world.

If you yearn to shine once again, if you wish to reclaim the wildish self who lives at the heart of you, who knows how to be well, to be happy, to be whole…..if you wish to clear illness, guilt, and untruths from your life and truly, deeply heal and transform, then these guides are your keys to the faery realm, and there you will be reborn.

Woosah! Love it. So my delicious lovely, are you ready?

I invite you to gently close your eyes and allow your breathing to gradually slow. Give yourself a minute or two to come to centre and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that will support you this week with this delicious Super Full Moon energy.

If you want to go a wee bit deeper and get super clear and centred prior to picking, I have a lovely guided visualisation for you. We are going to do some demolition and construction (don’t fret, you won’t need a toolbelt).

Did you remember to pick?

Come have a looksee.

THE LITTLEST FAERY

Little things matter. Seeds, subatomic particles, faery rings and precious things are often very, very small. And they often are overlooked, go unnoticed or are judged “ordinary” due to their lack of size. But such small things have power, magick and significance far beyond their size.

They are gifts from the world of the faeries, and as such, the more you express your gratitude and appreciation for them, the more faery blessings and magick can enter your life.

Take a look around, both with your physical eyes and with your spirit eye. Have a delicate feel with your faery fingers, find what has been given to you and then give thanks for the little things in your life. Be on alert for small signs coming to you.

Faeries are oftentimes tiny, but they are very strong.

They whisper in the ear of the earth guardians and wildlife warriors, asking them to protect trees and animals. They, being tiny and often invisible to others, are underestimated and often misunderstood.

They are powerful beings, and though some are tiny and appear as little more than a flicker of light from the corner of your eye, or a sense that something just flew behind you, they are strong, wild and assisting us greatly.

So today, notice what is overlooked.

Do something “small” and know that though your life itself may seem small at times, it is a powerful and magickal one, and you too can bring many blessings to both the planet and the soul of nature.

Break down a task into its smaller components and take baby steps. Give thanks for each small step along the way. Know that over the magick of time, small things grow. Know that some things are better for being small. They are tiny and they are treasures.

Understand the power of gratitude in terms of growth. Know your life is in some ways small and very precious because of this.

THE MERLIN

When the ancient one, the Merlin comes forward to speak with you, you are speaking with all the knowledge of the ancient druids who have spent time in faery lands for years, many of whom remain there still, including the wise mentor and teacher, Merlin.

It is difficult to overestimate his depth of knowledge, his compassionate heart and his laughter. He is part fae, part human, and all wise and loving.

He is a teacher who comes to you with a message that you must find a teacher who claims not to know all, but who can guide you to the knowledge hidden within your own self, which seems out of reach and obscure to you at present.

He wishes you to know that everything is your teacher, that life itself is yours to learn from, and he understands that the choices you have made have led you to him, for now, and that in time, you will part, and that too is right and good. He is ages old, and he knows that much of your wisdom, encoded in sleeping DNA, is also ages old.

As Merlin is a bard, you may be drawn to remembering and telling stories and tales of your own life at this time. As he is a wizard, high magicks will attract you. As he is a guide, you will find a mentor, and become a mentor in your own time. As he is a keeper of natural laws, you will find you are living in tune with magickal cycles.

You will know what is wise and what is not, and the difference between what is worth your time and what is not will shine out in sharp relief.

Clear, strong messages and a male mentor with Merlin energy may be coming into your life at this time. Trust the messages that begin to come to you, and know you are a blending of both worlds.

Let your wisdom come burbling up and take the time to connect to it. Allow the mentor to come and the riddles and rhymes to delight you as you expand.

STORYKEEPER

Live your life as if it is the greatest tale ever told!

This does not mean to be intentionally dramatic, but it does mean to live imaginatively, boldly, magickally. Many people say they wish to write a book, but what they are saying, the faeries declare, is that they wish to record their life story, their wisdom, their experiences and the lessons they have learned. To have left this place having made a mark that has meaning.

So, the Storykeeper is the faery being who comes to you now, showing you how she is writing down all the stories of all the peoples of the world, and yours too. It may be time to create a story for yourself, a rewriting if you like of the faery tale that is your life, and go beyond the “happy ending” where so many leave off.

Find the inherent wisdom beneath the surface of the story. Which faery tale story have you been enacting? Which archetypes are coming up for you, and how can you take the pen into your own hands and create a story?

It’s time to seek the wisdom in your story, and change the patterns and twists that have repeated themselves and seem hackneyed and contrived.

Carve out an original tale for yourself; create it from your dreams and adventures, and know that the Storykeeper will keep the record of your life on this earth alive for delivery to the Akashic record.

Nothing you do is too trivial or small to be worthy of notice; all your tales and energies have an impact. Tell your story, but most of all, live your own story.

Be original.

And keep the Storykeeper supplied with fresh new material for her book of wisdom.

Oh my giddy Goddess, what wonderful guides for this week and the delicious Full Moon. I invite you to take some time on Wednesday to gaze at her if you can and offer the sticky bits that you no longer desire to be turned into cosmic compost. Don’t forget to make some moon water! Big hugs and squeezes, see you next week.

Will You be at the Healing Circle this Full Moon?

Jenny Heston · 5:18 pm ·

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As Forever shares;

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

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

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

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

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

A BLESSING OF THE SHINING ONES

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Blessings of the Shining Ones, to you, friend.

A BLESSING ON YOUR HEALTH

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A BLESSING OF THE SEELIE

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

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

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

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

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

A BLESSING ON YOUR BOUNDARIES

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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