Lions Gate Portal and Sturgeon Full Moon – Ch, Ch, Changes…….

· ·

Happy Magickal, Mischievous, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!  

Thank you so much for all the wonderful messages and emails with regards to your Luscious Lughnasadh Companion Gift.  It tickled me pink to hear about how you were celebrating, journaling and which rituals you tried.  (My sister would have been very happy!)

Okay, we have a lot to cover and explore this week as today is the Lions Gate Portal and we have the glorious Sturgeon Super Moon in Aquarius on Thursday the 11th, so the energy has been off the charts.  So let me ask – how are you?  How are you feeling?

Many in our lovely community and in Creatrix Circle have shared all the unusual physical symptoms they have been having  from feeling incredibly unwell (which was me all last week), to fatigue, feeling as if the top of their head wasn’t there, chest pains etc.  Let alone the most random external experiences that were occurring.  One client thought she was going quite bonkers, but when we talked about the energy and I tapped into hers we found a solution to keep her grounded.  

So if you have been feeling off, odd or just very itchy, twitchy, bitchy or spacey – KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  

The energy of August involves a lot of change, allowing yourself to release past wounding, large life evaluation and practicing proactive resilience.  

The words Courage, Determination and Flexibility would stand you in good stead this month.  

So let’s look at what the Lion’s Gate Portal is and how to use the energy to support you this month shall we?

The lion’s gate portal opens every year on August 8 (so the 8th of the 8th), when the Sun, Sirius and Earth take their perfect places for this energetic shower.  Sirius is the 2nd brightest star and is sometimes called our “Spiritual Sun” and is known for her energy giving powers.

This creates a glorious portal of manifestation.  

Eight is known as the powerhouse number, and it acts as a bridge between the material and spiritual realms. It’s also the number of power and wealth.  So having a double 8 is quite auspicious.  

Now  you have a quick nutshell version of what the Lion’s Gate Portal is – how can you actualize all of this powerful eight-energy?

The portal opens in Leo season so play with your inner Leo (even if you aren’t one).  The sign of Leo contains and represents love, generosity, leadership, and creativity.  

Focus on love.  Allow the Lion’s Gate Portal to open the portal in your own heart.  Do things that bring you joy!

Prepare for massive shifts.

Tap into your spiritual side.

Practice gratitude.  The more love and gratitude you pour out in the world, the more it comes back to you multiplied.  

Next up is the glorious Sturgeon Super Moon in Aquarius on August 11th.  This Moon is named the Sturgeon Moon to symbolize and represent the freshwater fish that were easily caught during this hot summer month in North America. 

Have you ever seen a Sturgeon?  They are so frigging impressive and look prehistoric and can be traced back over 200 million years!  

Sturgeon can grow to be quite large in size and often live to be over 100 years old.

So – align your spiritual intentions this month with the strong and impressive sturgeon. They’ve survived millions of years by adapting and persevering through many different challenges. You are just as powerful and resilient whether you realize it or not.

The symbol for Aquarius is the Water Bearer, symbolically and eternally giving life and spiritual food to the world. The water from the vessel washes away the past, leaving room for a fresh, new start. 

The sign of Aquarius is forward-looking and growth-oriented.  Take this opportunity to let go of old pain, release what bogs you down, and open your mind to renewed flexibility and clarity.  Great waves of life are flowing all around us at this time.  

August is a powerful month of releasing and reevaluating your life.  It’s time to let go of anything that is holding you back because you want to be open and ready for the new energies that are coming in at this point in the year. 

So with that glorious energy in play, that both meld together –  let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the glorious cards and asked who wanted to guide and support you this week I was delighted to see some new guides who wanted to show and shine.  

In case you have never met them, please let me introduce you (as not to is rude!)

These glorious guides give you needed glimpses into your everyday life and help you see where changes can be made to enhance your life here on Earth.  There is so much more to our world than we often perceive.

There exist many dimensions and numerous beings that reside in these realms.  All of these elemental beings are interconnected with us.  We do not live independent of one another but are interdependent.  These wonderful beings are here to help.

They not only take care of the Earth, but they work hard to take care of us.  We are familiar with many of these beings, such as angels, faeries, and elves.  There are many more we are not conscious of, but they, nevertheless, contribute to the workings of our planet.  Remember as you go through  your day, to ask for help from the elemental world whenever you need it.  The need is never too small to call on their help.  It is through helping us that they advance in their spiritual development.  We are their work.  We in turn can spiritually evolve through allowing them to help us.  To all these amazing beings we say Thank You.

Okay, let’s just take a moment and I invite you to take a lovely deep breath in.  In through the nose, out through the mouth with a glorious sigh.  Breathe yourself back here to this moment.  Allow the worries to drop like water droplets down to the earth to nourish something new.  Then, when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at you.

If you want a little bit more of a “tune up”, let’s go play with water in a lovely guided visualisation.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look.

ALWAYS

The keyword here is Infinity.  

To truly understand life, you must understand that you have always been…and always will be.  You are a part of the Divine Source that rules the Universe.  Your spirit and your soul are immortal.  As the physical body passes from existence your energy body survives, eventually to move back to join with the Spirit.  Your connection to the Divine Spirit is never severed.  

You are never alone.  You are always connected to the Source.  You are the vehicle through which the Divine Spirit manifests on Earth.

Understand your divinity and your importance on Earth.  Appreciate that every other being on Earth is equally important to the Divine Plan.   You may have a desire or wish for a special person in your life who will promise to always be there for you.  First, you must always be there for yourself!

Perhaps in the past those who should have stuck by you did not.  Those you thought were true were not.  Release old pain and habit patterns and allow your highest good to manifest in your life.

Express your gratitude for you!!

This primes the pump for a real lasting relationship.  And always remember the elementals that are helping you along the way.  Their devotion to you is infinite and unwavering.

“I ever was,

I always will be.

I am Infinity.

My soul reaches out far beyond this shell,

Within me Spirit has a place to dwell.

I am.

So be it!”

Play a song over and over and over again.

FAIRIES

Think of the Spirit Realm and the realm of faeries and the faery within you.

You are being invited to use your inborn ability to tap into spirits of the mystical realm.  You may find that you are enhanced with an otherworldly, magickal, faerylike quality.  You may come from a long line of faery ancestors, carrying the bloodline of ancients.  Others may notice something just a bit different about  you.

The word eccentric might come to the minds of some who are acquainted with you.  But do you care?  No!  And that is how it should be!

You may see, hear and know things others do not.  Administering healing energy may be your talent.  There is a special twinkle in your eye…these are the eyes that can see faeries, and communicate with all the elementals.  You work with the heavenly as well as the Earthly spirits.  You are a gifted person…..intuitive and capable of easily channeling the energies of the Universe.

Remember to always use this power for the highest good.  Always ask that you be guided in its use and that no one comes to harm through your ministering.  Remember to keep your ego out of your spiritual work, for therein lies your downfall.

Give credit where credit is due…..Spirit does the work.  

“I joyously embrace my uniqueness.

I embrace all that comes from Spirit.

I allow Spirit to move within my being 

And to assist the growth of others as well as myself.

I know that all healing comes from Spirit

And I graciously accept the gifts bestowed upon me, and as such,

I bring only honour to the name of Spirit.

So be it!”

Sprout your wings today!

TROUBLE

Honesty, such a beautiful thing.  It’s time for you to keep your eyes open and your ears alert.  Someone is not being as honest with you as they can be.  This can be a business affair or a relationship.  There is a stretching of the truth or a covering up of facts.  

You are likely to find out too late unless you pay attention.  Bring your intuition into play and combine it with fact finding.  No one can keep the wool over your eyes for very long!

It’s also an important reminder to be scrupulous with your own words and deeds.  Remember that what you send out is what you get back.  This is the law of the Universe.

Be honest with yourself.  

Trouble can almost always be avoided by paying attention, choosing your words and actions wisely, and by listening to your higher self.  

Ask the faeries and angels to help you tap into your highest and best energy!

Remember, you do not need to draw negative situations into your life.  Choose to bring joyful and positive situations instead.  Sometimes the best action can simply be no action for the moment.  

“Truth is within me.

Honest people surround me.

I am guided in all things,

To the perfect course of action.

My world is bountiful

And I work with the tool of truth, trust and attraction.

So be it!”

Stir things up today!

Oh gosh, I love these guides for this week!  Wishing you an amazing week, delicious lovely, remember to beam love (especially to yourself), dance with the Lion’s Gate Portal energy and really utilise this amazing Full Moon to release, relax and rejuvenate.  Big hugs 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.  

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

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.

How the New Moon and Lilith will help you Ignite and Claim your Sacred Rage.

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

I have to say yesterday was so fun! 

It was the massive Pride parade here in Victoria, and I was volunteering at a booth,  and I dressed!  I became a glorious butterfly faery, in a wee tiny dress with wings that covered my whole back and draped down to the ground, it was awesome!  I had bubble wands galore and let bubbles dance on the slight breeze we had in the intense heat.

It was incredible to see how many people turned out and all with the full intention of celebrating diversity, peoples rights to choose how they identify and what they need and how they express themselves.  They were forecasting 25 – 30 thousand people which I thought was amazing!

It was a glorious panacea to how heavy my heart felt and how much anger surfaced when I heard that Roe vs Wade had been overturned.  It floored me to think that someone else has the right to tell me what I can and can’t do with my body, or what my daughter’s can or can’t do. 

Seriously, the USA has become one of the 4 nations in the world (yes in the world) who has rolled back abortion rights since 1994, and by far the wealthiest and most influential nation to do so. The other three nations to curtail abortion rights are Poland, El Salvador and Nicaragua.

As the Guardian reported – “The end of the right to abortion in the United Sates will have devasting consequences around the world.  A half century ago, the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v Wade decision inspired a new era of reproductive freedom in dozens of countries.  The court’s reversal will empower anti-abortion voices everywhere, threatening reproductive freedom and the right to control one’s destiny.“

And let’s be honest – banning abortion doesn’t mean there won’t be any.  It means there won’t be safe abortions and people will be hurt and die.  

So if you are at all feeling anger, disbelief, sadness, frustration – what do you do with it?

If you leave it to ferment in your body it won’t go well.  It’s time to distil it into sacred rage that comes from the heart space, not the head space.  The heart space is the compass, it is the guide to truth.  Your truth.  It’s the guide to clarity and a level of strength that is unstoppable.  

It is  the place of Sacred Rage.  

Sacred Rage is a rage that propels us into sacred activism, to do something, instead of believing we are powerless to create change. 

To take holy action where we can, and inseminate ripples of light. We all have our part to play in the greater tapestry. We all have our thread that is connected to the whole.

When a Woman Connects to and Cultivates a Positive, Mature Relationship to the Life Force Energy of Sacred Rage She Plugs Into An Ancient Lineage of Feminine Magic That Can Move Mountains.

She Becomes a Force of Nature and thunders after injustice.  

So it’s interesting to see what the New Moon in Cancer, which happens on June 28th, is bringing to the table.  

New Moons draw energy toward us, which is why they are typically a good time for setting intentions and thinking about what we wish to attract into our lives.

Under any New Moon, use it as a portal to draw things to you, use it to meditate on how you wish to feel, how you want your mindset to be, and how you wish to move through your day.

“Under this June 2022 Cancer New Moon, we may feel extra sensitive, but this sensitivity can be used to make us more intuitive, more compassionate, and more responsive to our environment.

By tuning into the subtle vibrations of the world around us they become a compass, letting us know which direction feels good and which direction feels out of balance. Using our sensitivity as an internal compass is how we can turn it into a superpower!“

This Cancer New Moon with its heightened sensitivity, will help us to determine where these beliefs stem from and how we push past them. Set some intentions and trust the New Moon will carry your requests through the Universe.

Black Moon Lilith is also close to the energy of the June 2022 New Moon. 

Black Moon Lilith represents the feminine, particularly the darker, raw, feminine instincts that are suppressed or shunned in our current society.

Black Moon Lilith also represents sexual empowerment and stepping into our full power as an awakened goddess! Feeling sexy, feeling desirable, and knowing our worth are all domains that Black Moon Lilith can touch upon.  

Black Moon Lilith isn’t subservient and doesn’t listen to authority.  When in Cancer, she takes a stand and connects with causes that are near and dear.  No one can tell Black Moon Lilith what to do – especially with her body. 

So what are the intentions that your Sacred Rage is inviting you to set at this New Moon? 

What energy and passion do you want to use to ignite change?

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading.  

The cards that wiggled and giggled to come support this week are The Divine Circus Oracle, which made me laugh and nearly snort tea out of my nose!  The reason I laughed is these glorious guides are playful, but deep.  The most positively perfect guides for right now.  

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. “

So gorgeous bean, centre and ground.  Breathe yourself back into your body with lovely deep breaths.  Allow all the pieces of you to come back to you.  Then I invite you to see a fire, a glorious fire that is burning with strength and passion in your heart and your belly.  Watch the flames dance and embrace that energy, that strength and passion.  Let it whirl in your third eye space and then pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see, shall we?

DATE WITH DESTINY

Out of the ethers and into your life, she arrives now because you have a date with Destiny.  She is a mysterious creature; her ways are wild and her guidance is true. She may create chaos from which a new order can emerge, but there is no need to fear.  She has come to inspire, uplift and direct you.

A date with Destiny is a big deal.  It is the moment when you realise there is something helping you out, something intelligent, powerful, wise and, no matter how empowered you are, something even more powerful than your own efforts. 

All bets are off!

Nothing is held sacred and anything can happen. If you are a control freak, this will probably scare you witless! You can trust in Destiny’s interventions on your behalf, even if her work seems to be causing your best intentions to go astray.  

Trust or go mad because you cannot control her. And you do not need to! 

Your divine destiny is your best life. It is you in the fullest and most beautiful creative expression possible. It is what you want and need, even when you don’t immediately realise it, even when that is rather different to what you once thought you wanted and needed.  

She isn’t, despite most people’s fears, a sadist.  But she will dance through your life in her big stomping combat boots, even if that means causing some pain now to avoid a far greater pain later on.  The appearance of havoc of mayhem is just a sign that she’s at work on a divine realignment assignment!

The Universe has heard the prayers in your heart, and life is going to answer them by rearranging what needs to be rearranged to sort out whatever has been troubling you.  Make sure you let it happen.  You are not meant to be in control.  

Destiny is an exciting, unpredictable phenomena.  

The more you allow yourself to trust in her, the more you will realise that the universe is working with you, rather than against you, and if you are willing, it will show you the time of your life!

CLOWN OF CROSSROADS

Opportunity is upon you, though it may seem like a farewell to what you have known.  

This chance is a crossroad, a time when you go left or right. 

You cannot continue with everything as it has been, and this means that something will have to be released for something else to be gained.  It’s time for you to take your chances and make a choice.

Your life does not have to continue on as it has been anymore.  You’re at a pattern breaking, life changing moment, or soon will be.  Of course you can try to continue with the status quo, however, in doing so, you will be saying no to the pathway opening up for you. It’s time for a new phase of life to begin.  Be patient as you feel for the truth of your choice, whilst remaining courageous enough not to procrastinate and become stuck in indecision.

You can’t take your whole life with you into new territory, and that’s okay.  Certain people may be able to change and grow along with you, but other relationships, situations or circumstances will have to be sacrificed on the altar of new life.  

This can be difficult and you must honour your loss, but not get taken down by it.  You may be feeling fear and excitement, so it’s time to take heart.  It’s time to leap! 

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.

Oh my glorious Goddess!  Such amazing guides for this week – fuck yeah!  So darling one, I invite you to embrace your sacred rage, don’t let it fester or make you run and hide.  And as it slowly starts to ignite let it fuel your passion, purpose and clarity with a clear flame.  Sending you big hugs and see you in a couple of weeks, as this coming weekend is a holiday in North America.  

Solstice and Pride!

· ·

Happy Magnetic, Magickal, Miraculous, Marvellous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you?  How was the delicious Strawberry SuperMoon for you?  Many of you have shared that it felt very challenging but deep (that’s not a bad thing), as there are so many shifts and changes happening in you and around you.  

But guess what?

Summer Solstice is coming, Summer Solstice is coming!  Whoot!

Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 21st, is the Summer Solstice and I am so looking forward to celebrating it.  Every year has been filled with different ways of celebrating, different rituals and different intentions/offerings and the harvest that I have reaped from these has been mind blowing!  (As in, you seriously can’t make this shit up!)

In fact at the end of this month I close the circle on a 4 year Solstice setting ritual that was amazing, challenging, but oh so worth it! I will tell you about it next week.

Thank you for all the amazing feedback on SASS – The Stupendously Abundant Summer Solstice Guide.  I’ve been tickled pink to hear how it is resonating for you and which rituals you have picked!  And yes, she is available until the 24th.  

Oh and for those that have asked, there are only 2 spots left for the Summer Solstice Reading Special.  

Summer Solstice (also known as Litha)  is all about abundance, growth, expansion.  It’s the celebration of the Sun!  

Think about it, the farmer plants the seeds in the cool of the Spring in the wet ground and as the Summer Solstice approaches things have sprouted and are reaching up as if they are doing a glorious sun salutation.  

It’s a time to watch the ripening and fruiting of the plants around us and our ideas.  This is a delicious inner fire/power celebration that acknowledges the abundance that grows from tiny seeds.  This is a time of really reclaiming your inner power and brightness and mapping out the harvest you desire for the next while.

It’s also a time of magic – Midsummer’s eve was believed to be a time when the veil between this world and the next is at its thinnest – a time of powerful forces and magical happenings, when fairies were thought to be about and at their most powerful. This otherworldly sense underpins Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, where the fairies use their magic and cause mayhem in the forest. 

This is a day of inner power, brightness, Magick, Manifestation and celebrating your Divine Masculine.  

Each Summer Solstice I celebrate in different ways with different rituals, however, one thing I always do is create/craft something to honour the gifts that I receive. 

Last year was a massive driftwood portal!  She is gorgeous.  All the pieces of driftwood are woven together. I wove ivy around her (keeping the roots in the ground) and then put tiny fairy lights onto her, and built an incredible rock stairway for her approach.  And it’s so fun to see how the ivy is growing around her a year later.  

This year, I needed a chair!  

Every morning as the sun is rising I make a cuppa and go sit outside.  I have a particular chair that is tucked in a corner and protected from the elements where I watch the world wake up, listen to the birds, and I set my intentions for the day.  Sad to say, my old chair died – split straight up the middle which made sitting on it tenuous.  

So I went to the Habitat for Humanity store, found a glorious wooden chair in the style that I wanted.  One where the seat is big enough that I can sit cross legged and brought her home.  Then the fun happened.

She was sanded and painted a super gorgeous fiery red, and then beautifully adorned with swirls, flowers and energy flow symbols, and then sealed.  I am so looking forward to sitting on her for morning tea!  I was so enchanted with the design that I made that I’m now creating a  glorious Solstice Faery house!  

So however you choose to mark the Solstice, take pride in who you are, the changes you have moved through in the last 6 months and celebrate your gorgeous inner fire!  You are so worth it!

And speaking of Pride…………

Where I live June is Pride month, a time to celebrate the diversity of the human package that we come in.  I have to say, I love it!  As an ally I honour each person’s right to choose who they are, how they identify and who 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 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 with me.  He was a very special person.  

Thus, I always try to help out in some way for Pride, however with Covid we haven’t had a parade in 3 years, but this year we do!  This Sunday there is a massive Pride parade with floats, displays, music and all sorts.  I have volunteered to take care of a booth/tent at the festival.  But what to wear?  Lol

Thankfully I have an amazing niece who went through her tickle trunk of costumes and odds and bits and I am going to look sparkly, colourful and sassy as heck!  I have bubble wands galore to play with and I am thoroughly looking forward to playing, supporting and helping out at Pride.  

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.  Isis Oracle were adamant and if you think about it – the perfect energy for this time.  

Now if you don’t know these amazing guides, please let me introduce you.  Have you ever asked who Isis is? Goddess of the Skies, Magick and Wisdom are just a few of the titles she is given.  Let me take a moment to introduce you to this lovely deck – “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening.  Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world.  When a Soul is growing in power and strength, it can benefit from guidance to help make the path into a new way of being in the world that much easier.  Isis offers Her wisdom and guidance to you to assist you at this time of spiritual growth and transition.  She loves you, and wants you to shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.”

Yes!!!!!!!  “Shine and be your radiant self,  filled with power and wisdom.”

Okay delicious lovely, let’s just settle for a moment shall we?  Just breathe yourself back into your body, calling back any pieces that you have left lying around during the day or the week.  Breathe long and deep and allow in your mind’s eye the energy of the sun to fill you, to pour liquid gold energy through you – soothing, nourishing and cleansing.  

When you feel relaxed and ready, pick the card or cards that whisper to your wise self, your radiant self, your powerful self.  

Did you remember to pick?

Come take a look.  

DIVINE GUARDIAN

Protection of the Winged Mother

You are venturing through a time of significant spiritual growth and healing.  There are many changes occurring internally and they will be reflected in your external world soon also.  You are protected during these times by the love and strength of the Winged Mother, Lady Isis.  You can relax and allow your transformation to happen.  Let your Divine Guardian protect you now, as you learn to let go and trust in your own unfoldent for the greatest good.

Big spiritual growth can bring difficult challenges.  Through such challenges, an Initiate can gain wisdom, power and awareness, and leave behind fears that once held them captive, free from past restrictions, free to live a life that is truly extraordinary and inspirational.  Yet the challenges can feel deeply confronting.  The Initiate may be tested to stay true to their own beliefs even if their loved ones do not understand or support them.  Or they may be required to let go of what they have known to embrace something completely unfamiliar and this may be uncomfortable for them, and they may fear losing support, safety or friendship as they venture into a new life.  

You have been receiving impressions and inner nudges that are from your higher guidance, which has been helping you with situations that are currently unfolding in your life and will continue to do so.  You are, spiritually speaking, on the right track.  Life does not have to be fixed or even clear at all times in order for you to be safe.  Isis is with you.  All is well.  

DIVINE SISTERHOOD

Community of the Spiritual Sisters and Brothers of the Light

In a community that is based in equality, respect, healthy boundaries and personal freedom, with a mutual desire for spiritual growth and honouring of innate wisdom, great miracles occur.  You are part of this community of light.  At one time it existed only in the spiritual worlds, yet now it is being born on the Earth.  It is part of your destiny to help create and nurture a conscious community that empowers all of its members and is based in truth.

Letting the Divine Feminine nourish you now into new relationships, collaborations, community and friendships is very wise.  There are many souls with whom you have spiritual contracts decided upon before you were born who wish to help you, and whom you can help too, as you grow together in peace and light and wisdom.  Your light has value on its own of course but it is also of deep service when it is visible to others, lighting the way.

Mother Isis says that there is so much light awakening within our planet, and so much spiritual light gifted to Earth from celestial beings at this time, that it makes sense to build a large enough container to receive it.  If you had enough electricity to power a city, you wouldn’t try to fit it in one house.  Likewise, with all this spiritual electricity becoming available on the EArth, groups are needed to help it to circulate and flow.  

If you accept all of this but still cannot find your spiritual home here, and have been wondering where your community is, you are not alone!  They are looking for you too!  Say ‘yes’ to opportunities to meet like-minded people and let Isis guide you through circumstances, opportunities and spontaneous moments as you and your beloved sisters and brothers find each other together for group benefit.  If you have found that you have guidance to build community yourself, and are feeling a little overwhelmed at the thought, stay calm and stay in your heart.  

SPIRIT OF ISIS

Triumph of the Goddess

Beloved Initiate, there are times to surrender and let go, but there are never times to give up!  Persist with your bold faith and inspired action until the impossible happens.  Isis has the spirit of triumph and will never fail in Her quest no matter how bold or impossible it seems.  Believe.

It is helpful on the inner path to let go and detach over and over again and yet we need to stay true to our heart and not give up on what we feel we are here to do.  Whether it is reaching for enlightenment, for inner peace, for a creative breakthrough or personal healing, the triumph of the Goddess is with you now urging you not to give up, no matter how far away or impossible success may seem to be.  Don’t quit!  Persist until the impossible happens!

You are being reminded that you can surrender, let go of attachment as to how everything will happen or what it will look like, even if it is frustrating to surrender the vision into the Divine Fires yet again, waiting until you feel it naturally coming together according to Divine Timing.

The Spirit of Isis is willing to wait until Divine Forces collide and the miracle occurs.  Remember, beloved Initiate, that the forces of growth, love and divinity are in your corner.  There is nothing more powerful than these.  Allow them to have their way and you will have yours.  Your win is assured.  

Those are some deliciously powerful messages!  How did the card you picked resonate for you? Have a stupendous week, delicious lovely.  Allow the energy of the sun to ignite your inner fire, use the energy of the Super Full Moon to open you up and 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 flowers galore!
