Guidance

The Eclipse is Past and Lammas is coming!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

A CLOCKWORK PUMPKIN

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

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

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

LADY WITH A BOSCH EGG

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

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

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

CANDY CANE ANGEL

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jenny Heston · 1:11 am ·

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

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

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

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

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

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

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a look?

LADY OF THE NEW BUDS

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

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

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

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

THE LISTENER

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

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

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

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

CHUMARA

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

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

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

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

Huge hugs and squeezes! See you next week.

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

Jenny Heston · 12:00 pm ·

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

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

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

So when I asked the cards who wanted to work with us all, guide, support, inspire and help us with this very transformative energy the Divine Circus Oracle literally jumped so high that it was like a hand to the forehead! This is a gorgeous deck for the bold, the ones that find it hard to follow the rules “What is life if not a Divine Circus? Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us a moment earlier. “

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

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

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

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

Ready?

Shall we go have a look?

WHITE DUCHESS

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

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

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

DEATH SHALL NOT TAKE HIM

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

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

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

DUKE OF SHADOWS

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

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

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

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

Canada Day, Independence Day and Eclipse Season!

Jenny Heston · 10:56 am ·

Hello, hello, hello gorgeous one! It feels like yonks since we last connected, but it is only just shy of two weeks. How have you been? Did you take some time to celebrate the Summer Solstice? I most certainly did! It was actually one of the best Summer Solstice celebrations I have ever had. Myself and my kids went to Vancouver island to meet up with my sister/hubbie from the UK and my nieces, my son, the mothership, and a myriad of other relatives. We played, explored and laughed so much that week and I made sure that daily I went to the ocean, which was like balm to my soul.

On Solstice we all went to the beach where the wind was strong, the waves were gorgeously tremendous and we created ritual, sent little boats out to sea with our intentions and desires, lit a fire and had an aaammmmmaaaazzzing time. It was stupendous! What I found interesting was I had thought the ocean would be kind of calm and we could set our little intention boats out to sea with a candle and off they would go, lol, mother nature had a different plan. The waves were huge so you had to toss your boat out (like a baseball pitcher). Some she threw back onto the shore in short order and that person changed their intention and voila, off the boat chugged! So it comes to my turn and I whisper to my lovely little boat my desire and intention and tossed her out into the ocean, she was certainly accepted and the funny thing was, so were two other things. I wear 7 amazing crystal bracelets on my right wrist, one for each chakra and when I tossed my boat in off flew the heart chakra and throat chakra bracelet – gone, swallowed by the waves. Urrrr, hmmm, that was interesting and then within about a minute my throat chakra one was tossed back, but not the heart one and holy hannah did that boat chug out to sea!

Coming home was sweet and sour, it was great to be home and back with the dogs, but it was heart wrenching to leave parts of my family and the ocean, that one is so primal for me and courses through my veins. But hey, for the moment I have lots of glorious memories.

Yesterday was Canada Day (here in Canada, go figure) and soon it will be July 4th in the States, so lots of reasons to celebrate, set off fireworks and connect with people and share food (all good things). Also, with the whooshing in of July we see the energy change again and when I first encountered it I felt a huge “Gulp” burble up. If you remember, the energy for May was Re-Aligning Values, June was Discipline and Follow Through, well July is all about Mature Responsibility in Unpredictable Times. As Lena from The Power Path says “It is time. It is time to take a hard look at where we give our power away, blame others, procrastinate what we know needs to be done, avoid responsibility and hope it will all just go away or that someone will do it for us. It is time to take responsibility for our health and well-being, emotional maturity and what we create. It is time to start believing in our own power to change what we can and to adapt to what we can’t. It is also time to face our own addiction to suffering, our insecurities and flawed belief systems that hold us back, and to do something permanent about them as much as we can. It is an explosive time with an aggressive attitude full of triggers that can either be used for tremendous growth, movement, initiation and progress, or it can spiral down into something nasty.” To read more you can find it here.

On top of that energy we are heading into eclipse season. Normally, we have two that encompass two weeks, this time we have three, two solar eclipses and one lunar which encompass a month, so the energy is ripe with coming face to face with all sorts of stuff, as well as creating massive change. Solar eclipses are about external change and lunar are about inward, so I personally am going to buy a pair of big girl panties and have them ready! I’ve also gone and picked up some Labradorite and some Indigo Gabbro (aka Mystical Merlinite), to have for these eclipses, but more on that next week.

When I asked the cards who wanted to come support and guide this week, it was no surprise that the Isis Oracle deck jumped up and down. With all the solar energy that has been buzzing around, she is the perfect deck for this time. I love how part of the introduction says “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening. Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world. You are an Initiate of the Light.” Yum!! What was also lovely to see was that some of the little shells I gathered whilst at the ocean wanted to come play and bring their delicious energy of sea, tides and fluidity to this reading. So in between rain showers I decided to get my toes in the grass and do the reading there.

So with all that being said, I invite you to take a pause, a moment for yourself. Gently start slowing down your breathing and allow your thoughts to just flow across your mind like gorgeous clouds. Breathe in through your nose and sigh the air out through your open mouth. Keep breathing this way and then when you are ready, ask your wise inner knowing to come forth and pick the card or cards that are best suited for you and the path that you are to walk this week.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a look?

CARTOUCHE

Lady Isis initiates you now into Her special mysteries – the use of sacred intonations. The words that you speak are rapidly gaining power. To benefit from this power rather than be undermined or held back by it, practice thoughtful speech and clear your heart of old “unforgiveness” which can poison your words unintentionally. As your heart grows in purity, you will be able to speak with spiritual authority and what you speak of will come into being more swiftly and obviously. Isis is initiating you as a master healer in Her sacred tradition of Divine Names of Power.

Divine Names of Power are sacred words of strength, magick and power to create healing from a place of compassion and devotion to Love. She honours that which is worthy of protection and uses endless determination, combined with Her skill of speaking words of power, to cause life to thrive and that which is not worthy of cultivation, which would not serve life, to dissipate and decline.

Invoking the power of speech and word for your strength, protection and spiritual growth will work effectively for you. Sometimes thinking and saying “no” is the most powerful word you can say to honour personal choice and create a safe boundary for yourself. Sometimes affirming in thought and speech, “I choose to see the Divine within this person, place or situation” is another way to cut through drama and use the power of word in though and spoken expression, to create powerful healing. Also discern the effect upon you of the company you are keeping energetically and physically. Sometimes the thoughts and words of others – their vibration – can enhance you or leave you feeling depleted or drained. Remember you can use words of power to cleanse any cords or contracts that would lower your vibration into a fearful place, in order to come back to love, to help you stay true to yourself and perhaps even inspire others to think or speak more positively when they are around you.

INITIATION

When you are being spiritually initiated into the mysteries of light, love and power, there are moments of deep challenge. The key is to find the light within the challenge – the learning, growth or wisdom that can be summoned to turn the challenge into an opportunity for healing. Initiation will occur at various stages. Sometimes your entire life will feel like an initiation, at other times specific areas will be flowing easily whilst others re deeply challenging. Please know you are not needlessly suffering. If you can find the light within the struggles, tests or challenges that face you now, you will experience breakthrough healing.

As an Initiate, honour life as a gift and treat any challenge or pressure as a way for you to grow into a brighter and purer light capable of great spiritual service on this planet. That spiritual service includes growing an ability to be able to love freely and beyond limits, to love with courage and faith.

In fact initiation for you now, dear one, is an opening to new levels of power and peace, self-possession and love. There are such sweet fruits waiting for you at the top of the tree you are currently climbing. It may seem as though you are in barren land at times with little hope, nourishment or encouragement, yet your spiritual oasis is not far away! The Lady Isis and the Power of Ra together are helping you grow. Stay focused on the Lady and Her love for you and you shall pass through the desert of the Initiation unharmed and deeply transformed.

HEALING THE DIVINE MASCULINE

The Divine Masculine within men and women is the energy that allows for protection, discernment, healing and a sense of deep safety and holding, even through the most uncomfortable circumstances of life. When the masculine within us is healthy and strong, we have an inner strength to hold ourselves safe through anything. Your Inner Masculine is going through healing right now, growing stronger in His ability to offer you inner protection and stability so that your Inner Feminine can blossom with creative expression.

The Inner Masculine and Inner Feminine need each other. When they are in a good inner relationship with us, we feel like healthy, whole human beings. We are able to live as ourselves in the world in a relatively peaceful, creative and enjoyable way. When there is damage to the Inner Masculine, there is difficulty in standing up for our truths, in knowing what our truths and values are, and in knowing how to protect them without feeling as though we have to fight constantly just to be allowed to be ourselves. We might also feel that unless others see things as we do, we have no power, and then have to fight to dominate others, manipulating them to our point of view.

The Inner Masculine part of us often needs healing so that He can fulfil his Divine Purpose of inner strength, protection and honouring of the Self in all its uniqueness, so that we can live as free, strong individuals that know who they are and are happy to just love and be that person – and allow others to do the same.

Use your inner feminine courage, trust and determination to avoid castrating the Masculine by considering it weak, useless, or unnecessary. For healing to happen for both Masculine and Feminine, we must be prepared to let go of feelings of victimisation, domination, disappointment and dissatisfaction and do the same times challenging inner work of learning to relate to masculine and feminine energy with a completely different approach!

Wow! These are perfect cards as we move into this energy of Mature Responsibility in Unpredictable Times! Thus, if you feel inclined this week, think of something that you have been putting off, procrastinating on if you will, and take some action to either complete it or release it. (Yes you are allowed to do that). Often it is the “things” and “projects” that we put off for whatever reason that use up most of our energy. So ask yourself if you still want to complete whatever it is, and if you still need to and if you don’t – decommit to it. This brings such a whoosh of release and energy back to you it’s quite delicious. Any how delicious lovely, that’s all for now, have a fantabulous week filled with laughter, little action steps and big joy! See you next week.

It’s the First Monday in June and it’s time to get Passionate!

Jenny Heston · 2:00 pm ·

Happy, magnificent first Monday in June delicious lovely! How are you? Did you have a glorious last week? We are now in the beginnings of June and I’m very excited, I love June. Why? Summer Solstice and this year my sister is going to be over from the UK and for the first time ever we will get to celebrate it together! Whoot, whoot! Huge happy dance.

The energy this month is deliciously delightful as well – remember how last month the shamanic energy was Re-Aligning your Values? Well for June the energy is all about Discipline and Follow-Through. “This month provides us the opportunity to show up and follow through in action with the realizations, understandings and truths we now have about where we are, what we want, and what we need to do. We have spiritual and intuitive openings that provide a much-needed anchor to the world of positive possibilities. At the same time, we can struggle with resistance to the physical discipline required to keep moving ourselves in the right direction. This is all seated in the 3rd chakra, the Solar Plexus chakra, the house of will, self etc.

Now this also feeds into something I have been exploring within a different community. I am part of the community of Medicine Keepers, a wonderful space and place created by the very talented and amazing Maia Toll. For the last 5 weeks we have been exploring how from Late Spring to Summer we are moving from Air (the element of Spring and the place of ideas) to Fire (the element of Summer and Passion). I don’t know about you, but I have lots of ideas (sometimes too many so I’ve taken to writing them down instead of chasing after them like a squirrel). However, as wonderful as it is to have all these ideas, if there is no fire, no Passion then they just stay random arsed ideas. It’s kind of like having a gorgeous beeswax taper candle that looks amazing, however, unless you ignite it with Fire it can’t burn. You can’t watch the flame dance in the breeze, you don’t see it’s light. Yes? You with me now?

Thus, I invite you to think of one thing (you can of course think of as many as you want), however, pick one thing, one idea that has been burbling (love that word, makes me think of a glorious big pot with yummy things in it bubbling away) for you. It may have come up last month when you were re-aligning your values, and decide how you are going to ignite it – what Passion are you going to bring into play to make it manifest? Sound good? For me, my main idea that I am going to focus on is a course that is near and dear to my heart that I have been writing on and off, it has really been burbling and growing over the last few months, but now needs me to step up and finish the content, shoot the videos and get er done! As her time is ripe.

So with all that to perk as we go into the reading, let’s go. (See – Follow-Through! Lol) The deck that really wiggled and was very passionate about coming to guide and support this week was “The Faery Forest Oracle”, which doesn’t surprise me as we all need some magick when moving from Air to Fire. Interesting to see though that feathers (representing air), a fire agate (representing fire) and a bunch of brass screws came to play. Now you may be thinking, ummm, err, what’s with the screws. But think about it, someone had an idea (air) but it took the application of fire to metal to create the screws.

So let’s take a moment and just get grounded and centred. Take a slow deep breath in and imagine there is a lit candle in front of you, and as you gently sigh out your breath through an open mouth, watch the flame dance and move. Keep breathing in this way and realise that you are playing with Air and Fire, ideas and passion. When you are ready, gently roll your shoulders up back and down and let them nestle along your spine like tucked wings and pick the card or cards that are tugging at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

THE LIFE BRINGER

About you now ideas and projects are gestating, constellations of ideas are birthing, your creativity is flowing from within, and ideas are developing in an easy, organic flow. For a time, you will be rich in health and loe and in physical beauty. While there is much that is new about you, what has already been developed within your world can now be brought to greater fulfilment – so children may begin to mature and grow older, and your ambitions and your dreams may need support to move from their beginnings to become truly established and make their presence strong and unshakable.

Your accomplishments will now be acknowledged, respect will be given as it is overdue, and your contributions and your work will now receive the value and recognition they deserve.

Your influence, power and reputation are all growing in healthy, inspiring ways. You feel good in yourself – a loving relationship with your body now develops, and you accept and receive loving support from others. No more will you receive disrespect – unkind words about yourself or your ventures will no longer be tolerated.

You are growing in stature – finally, the world sees you for who you are, a successful being who has followed their dreams.

FAERY GODMOTHER

When the Faery Godmother comes to you, be aware that this is a time when you will discover what has been long hidden to you – your true self will be revealed in surprising ways every day, and sudden moments of heightened perception will make this time especially significant for you. People finally get found out, manipulators can be seen through, true costs of circumstances are revealed, and any lies about you will be seen. This can be hard, but it is truly a hardship that is born of protection – you are safer for knowing in whom you can trust in order to make the right choices for your soul.

Throughout these revelations and insights will be a guiding hand – and this is the Faery Godmother. She is showing you what it is you need to know in order to create and foster a life that works for you – and she is protective force too. So what you need will come to you now, sometimes in very strange ways. Be mindful of counting your blessings at this time – for this energy your Faery Godmother can draw upon to keep transforming your life into one which is more abundant, magickal, meaningful, and joyful.

Note every moment of truth – they are all significant, and you are better for discovering what was once hidden from you.

FRIGGA

You are at a moment of great good fortune in this lifetime. You have created for yourself more than enough, and now the goodness that is flowing to you must be invested and used wisely. It is easy to squander youth or beauty or opportunity, as they seem such an eternal gift – but this card is here to share with you that it is time to ensure that this wonderful moment is worked with wisely. Invest in yourself and in your healthy, create more wealth, learn and study, and also offer your support and investment to worthy others. Take care of yourself, and truly mke yourself into who and what you have always wanted to become.

This time will come around again, but it will not last forever – and so Frigga wishes for you to consider the gifts you are being given, the bounty coming to you, and consider with great vision and earnestness what will provide for you and your loved ones in the years to come. Be ready to act!

Your future can be created now – and the present can become so rich and enduring that nothing can shake your ability to continue prospering – your skills, your home, your mind, your body.

Take care of yourself, and watch the good fortune that flows from your wise investment, for many years to come.

Wow, wow, wow. Let me say again how much I love the cards! What a glorious reading to launch us into these two delicious energies of June! All about ideas, movement and manifestation. Whoot! It’s going to be a delicious month and we are going to do something fun together for the Solstice I can feel it burbling already. Anyhow delicious lovely, have a stupendous week, give yourself a few moments to pick an idea and decide what/how you are going to follow through with it and what does that passion look like. If you feel like sharing, please do, let’s witness each other during this fantabulous month. Huge hugs and squeezes and see you next week! (Remember to drink water, laugh, smell the roses, watch the bees and play as well).
