Guidance

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).  

May is here, New Moon is coming and it’s the energy of Re-Aligning.

Jenny Heston · 2:00 pm ·

Happy magnificent, magikal Monday!  Welcome to May, did you get an opportunity to celebrate Beltane?  I most certainly did with a tree blessing ceremony and a little spell casting (which was quite delicious.)   

With the onset of May we see the energy shifting.  If you remember March was Creative Adaptability, April was Mindfulness, Patience and Balance. May is all about Re-Aligning Values. So in a nutshell “This month provides many opportunities for you to re-align your values and re-evaluate your priorities. You may be triggered and shaken up along the way because of some inner personal crisis, intense global event or sudden change. Use this as an opportunity to reshape the way you live your life instead of feeling victimized or despairing about the situation.”  If you would like to explore this more, I highly suggest checking out Lena Stevens (an amazing Shaman), where she delves into this more on a personal, relationship and spiritual level.

This past weekend I gave myself permission to really unhook from most media, my phone, other people’s dramas and instead spent almost the whole weekend pottering in the garden.  Sitting and watching the squirrels and playing in the woods with the hounds (whilst being exceptionally bear aware as I encountered 2 last week). It was so refreshing and revitalising and it was fascinating to watch how some people in my world responded to me not being on call 24×7.  One person must have sent me about 30 texts and multiple Messenger notices as well. Quite mind blowing.

Oh yes, I also tried something new this weekend!  I love to write, serve, help, support, inspire and all the rest of it – but video and that “being seen” certainly brings up old shit and uncomfie bugaboos.  However, I am very blessed as I belong to an amazing group called The Vibe Tribe, facilitated by the wonderful Carolyn Michelman; in this group we have been making our way through the book “Raise Your Vibration” by Kyle Grey.  It’s a great book for really helping you have a daily spiritual practice that is easy and manageable, as there is a Vibe for each day. Well within the group I have watched so many of the amazing members step up and share the Vibe for the day using FB Live.  Gulp! So finally I decided it was time to pull on my big girl panties, remind myself that I was in a very safe and supportive environment and just frigging do it! So I did! On Sunday I did my first ever FB Live and I didn’t self implode, no lightning bolts fell from the sky and I had so much fun.  So I busted through a limiting belief and a fear about visibility which felt sooooo amazing to do. So who knows maybe this FB Live might become part of the way I communicate with the world. We shall have to see.

As we head into the reading I invite you to think of one limiting belief or fear (and it doesn’t have to be huge), that if you could release it and send it on its merry way would have a positive impact on your life or business.  Ready to work with that?

The deck that was like the chatty squirrel and nattered and nattered to come share this week is The Sacred Rebels Oracle.  Remember this is the deck “for those who aren’t afraid to rattle cages, ruffle feathers and rock boats, from a place of loving service to the spiritual evolution of humanity.”  (I mean seriously if we are pondering a fear or limiting belief, how perfect is that?) The crystals that had been having a gorgeous sun bath and wanted to come support are:- Bloodstone, a gorgeous Geode and Fire Agate.

Let’s take a big glorious belly breath in and allow ourselves to just stop for a moment and just BE.  Sigh the breath out through your mouth and give your shoulders a little roll and wiggle. As you breathe in deeply really feel yourself in your body and if you feel inclined bring to mind a limiting belief or fear that you would like to release and when you feel ready.  Pick the card or cards that resonate for you and then let’s go see what you need to pay attention to this week. Enjoy!

You remembered to pick, right?

Ready to go see?

DREAM A BEAUTIFUL DREAM

The urge to create is the same within you as it is for the universal creator.  It also has the same magical ability to draw harmony into being to find beautiful order in chaos.  This includes bringing harmony and the perfect balance of well being into your body, mind and emotions.

If you feel blocked, thwarted or contaminated by others in your quest to bring your beautiful dreams to life, you may feel that your heart is dulled, minimised or shut down.  Small mindedness can limit beauty to very narrow, physical sense. However, you can shun the social disease of superficial, narrow definitions of beauty, thumb your nose at air-brushed images and dare to love what is.  Give yourself permission to feel and be beautiful in many ways.

There is a situation in your life right now where you feel uncertain about your ability to “fix” or heal.  You may feel inhibited in your ability to bring about constructive change. However, the perfect beauty of this situation is not revealed by what you attempt to do to it, or by trying to impose on it.  There is a beauty in it and by that revelation it is healed and perfected.

In opening up to the beauty within yourself and your circumstances, you open up to change.  You can overcome resistance and denial by approaching it with a curious mind, an open heart and acknowledging the hidden beauty.  You have the power to be a positive influence in whatever situation holds the most meaning for you right now, and you need to know that.

THE WORD WANTS TO BE WRITTEN

You might have been taught that creativity is something you have to work hard to access, or that finding your life purpose is so difficult that you must search high and low for it.  Or creating a living doing what you love is impossible.

Yet what you are is within you and wants to come out at every available opportunity.  You don’t have to struggle so much. It is more about allowing space for it to manifest and to let the energy flow.  The effort is in getting out of the way, not in making something happen. As for being yourself, that is the foundation from which your life path and joy will reveal itself.  Being yourself becomes easier when you give yourself permission to love, honour and accept yourself in all circumstances, especially the ones where you might be more tempted to reject and judge.  

What you are dreaming of or seek to manifest, is actually very natural for you.  That is why you want to do it. Now it is about chipping away at the walls of shame, perhaps with a defiant “Who the hell cares, I am here and I am going to love myself anyway.”  Release old emotional wounds and break away from any restraints to unconditional self-love.

What you want to write, sing, dance, create or become is you.  It is natural. Drop your defences, get into the grit and confront the power than any old shaming has had over you.  It’s finished now. It is time for you to be naked with yourself, acknowledge how gorgeous you are and get on with your work.  Life is urging you to do so, because the work wants to happen. What you want to create, wants to be created. Step firmly over any remnants of the past that have been in your way and stay on your path.

SHOCK OF THE NEW

What wild unconventional voice is calling to you?  Can you hear it? It is so different so unusual, it might be hard to decipher – like hearing an unfamiliar language for the first time.  It might be hard to discern with great clarity now but there is an affinity between you and this strangely beautiful newness seeking to manifest.

There is a stirring at the deepest level within you.  Something new will break through and the process of this birth may be a shock to you.  The shock will transform into great joy and a sense of tremendous liberation, but you must bear the strangeness first.  That strangeness might be something that rattles your beliefs about yourself and your world, daring you to become more of yourself, more open to where life is leading you and more willing to be the unique sacred art being crafted by the hand of the universal creator.  This is life creating the stage upon which you will experience greater fulfilment. Don’t reject it, no matter how small or insignificant, or how powerful and life-changing it may seem to be.

You are being asked to dispense with your reliance on the past and what have been your tools to navigate life.  You have outgrown your old methods. You will have to fly by the seat of your pants, so to speak, as you experiment with new ways to be.  Life will show you the way.

Well delicious lovely that was quite a divine reading and it most certainly ties in with the energy of this month of Re-Aligning Your Values.  What values do you feel you might need to give a little tweak to? Wishing you a stupendous week filled with sunbeams, faeries, laughter galore and big hugs (remember 10 hugs a day is the minimum)!  See you next week.

Full Moon in Scorpio, Beltane and Sacred Groves! Weekly Reading April 30th.

Jenny Heston · 2:00 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal Monday!  How has your energy been this week? To be honest I noticed that for the last 6 or 7 days mine was “tweaky”.  In other words it felt like I was itchy from the inside out, which is no surprise as we have a fabulous Full Moon in Scorpio (Sunday April 29th PST).  This is a powerful Full Moon inviting us to dig deep and really let go, in essence allow some things to die, of old ways of being. It’s an invitation for transformation which gets even more amplified as we have Beltane on Tuesday!  (I love Beltane!) If you want to get more insight on this Scorpio Full Moon, I highly suggest checking out this fabulous article at MysticMamma.  

However, even with all the internal itchiness it was a glorious weekend of garden time, play time and relax time, which really charged me up (that and the fact I decided on Sunday I had a craving for Black Forest Cake, so made one and ate half of it!)  No, there is no need to advise me on diet please, I eat clean and well about 98% of the time and if I have a craving for something decadently delicious, I am gonna fill it! Nom, Nom, Nom!

It was so wonderful to get beds upon beds planted with various wildflowers to entice hummingbirds, bees, butterflies and faerie folk to come play, and just to get covered in dirt and have that glorious sense of physical contentment of creating sacred space.  Next task is the veggie beds!

This morning as I was sitting on my deck, with a gentle rain pattering down, it was so wonderful to look around and see planted up beds, that the Rowan tree had burst into full brilliant green leaf and the tulip heads were getting fatter.  It’s not a joke, Spring is here! Which is no surprise as Beltane is the festival that heralds in the fertility and growth of Spring. This is the time of unity between the Goddess and the God and massive celebration. For those of you who are on the email list there will be more information on Beltane tomorrow and a couple of super simple (we like simple) rituals to mark this fantabulous day.  The colours of Beltane are red, green, white or silver and the ritual trees of this celebration are Birch, Hawthorn (which isn’t so common where I live currently) and of course Rowan. Speaking of Rowan, when my fourth child was born I had a ring made of Celtic knot work with Rowan leaves on it to celebrate his arrival.

Anyhow, let’s go play with magick and invite the faeries in.  The cards that were most insistent on coming to guide this week are The Oracle of the Dragonfae, and that doesn’t surprise me at all.  This is a time of magick, fertility, conception and growth and who better to help us see into the realms than the Dragonfey.  With the Full Moon happening I have had all my crystals sitting out in the moonlight getting cleansed and washed with the Spring rain (except my Selenite as that one is not a fan of water).  So when there was a brief dry moment I went and did the reading outside and the crystals that wiggled and woggled out of their moon bathing place are:-  Fire Agate, Red Snowflake Obsidian and Moonstone.

I’ve created a visualisation that you can use today and for Beltane if you would like.  

https://www.jennyheston.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/beltane-visualisation.m4a

If not, just get really present in your body, breathe long, slow and deep and as you do invite your inner wise being to come for a natter and ask what you need to know at this moment in time, or pertaining to a certain situation or idea.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at you.

Ready?

Shall we go have a look?

THE DAWN WATCHER

Never think that you are alone in this world…you do have guardians and I am one of them.  I will literally ring alarm bells for you when you have need of forewarning and foreknowledge.  There is nothing to fear when you receive these messages; you simply need to pay attention, take note and act when the time is right.  I will always alert you and it is my particular domain and charge to watch for the new sky as the sun rises and to let you know that what you have hardly dared even hope for has every chance of coming true.  Watch for the sunrise and know that as she does, so too do your hopes. And these bells will ring out for you to let you know of the approach of new growth, new warmth and a new energetic time coming for you.  Listen and hear the bells ring for you. And then you shall awaken from your soul sleep!

It is time to be alert and aware; to arise early and to pay attention to the signs that abound around you – selectively.  Focus on your mission at this time and work towards it. Be determined and do not allow others to distract you. Call on the Dawn Watcher to assist you to focus on the messages that are most worth hearing, and so that you do not go into fear.  The Dawn Watcher is a very powerful guardian and will help you greatly be alerting you with plenty of time; all you need to do is pay attention.

Listen more respectfully to the bells of dreams, deja vu or of physical reactions to particular energies.  The Dawn Watcher only weakens when you pay her bells no head, when you will not wake up and hear the calls.  Know that you are always being watched over and being told through your body, your mind and your spirit of what is to come

CHENGUANG

I am Dragonfae, thus I am at once a being of copious laughter, and of earnest and deep study.  Being Dragonfae, I know when to put aside my serious work and my mission, and play, laugh and love.  I know the importance of devoting myself to the playtime that balances, soothes and heals my heart, and lifts the heaviness that sometimes accompanies my days.  Can you do this? Or are you too caught up in being taken seriously? There is a perfect balance between serious, cosmic matters and playful light-heartedness to be found.  Both Earth and star are necessary for all of us. We are indeed galactic beings ourselves. But most of all, your hope and optimism is paramount right now. Take heart, for delight and joy is yours.  

You are about to experience a true reversal in your inner self:  you will now think magickally and attain mastery of magickal consciousness.  What you think, what you are manifests about you at all times: what you are now is the delicious light-hearted magickal being you were born to be.  You are like a beautiful shining star; its light magikally transforming everything it touches. Rays of light beam out from you and your body is awash with healing green energy and fresh new life.  You are dancing in the air, lifted up on the strength of your own experience and friendships, and you would do well to wear the divine colour violet, while the gentle zephyr helps your move in the direction of your dreams.

When we allow ourselves to shine we become who we were always meant to be; and by example we encourage others to become who they truly are.  Drop the heavy nature of punishment, guilt and beliefs that no longer serve you. You are a powerful role model for others; you have experienced the joy of setting your sights high and the healing power of self-belief.  You still have many experiences ahead of you on your journey, but this energy of the star is now your companion and your divine inspiration.

FERNIA

I wish to be honest with you, so you understand what it is you think and feel you are wishing for.

Do you understand that in order for you to be in connection with all you feel you desire that there will be what many consider to be sacrifices along the way?  

Do you understand that what we can offer you is shelter, yes, soft and sweet, tender and shaded beneath the heat of the sun, a place to rest and sleep and dream?  But do you also know that others will say you dwell in a fantasy land and that what you dream of cannot be? Consider the truth of what it is you wish for and know that whatever you commit to, expectations play no part in this promise I make to you… because I do pledge to shelter you and introduce you to magicks, to show you the ways of the Dragonfae folk and to help tend the little ones with me.  

But I also promise you this:  that your supposed nirvana will be muddy and dirty and difficult at times.  There is no way for this to be what you fantasize about. You will need to care for yourself and to allow others to be who they are.  For this is the path of clarity: knowing who you are and the part you play in all things. Leave your expectations behind and be prepared to discover more magick than you ever thought possible.  Do not seek to possess anything…and know that you are free to choose, in every moment, if you will go on.

Do you understand that if you wish to be of this realm, and yourself entirely, that you will give up some old ways of thinking?  Otherwise you may find yourself hurt by the conflict such incompatible thoughts and feelings will bring.

So deliciously lovely one, I wish you a glorious Full Moon and a magnificent Beltane.  Remember, if you are on our email list you will receive more information on Beltane and a few easy rituals to celebrate the day and mark the moment.  With Beltane being a celebration of passion, do something that you love this week and buy yourself some gorgeous Spring flowers! See you next week.  

When Spring is Reluctant, Mercury is still in Retrograde and Your Intentions get Eaten! – April 9th Reading

Jenny Heston · 2:00 pm ·

Happy magnificent, marvelous Monday!  It’s good to be back. How was your Easter?  Did a large wascally wabbit come and poop little chocolate eggs everywhere?  Our Easter was fabulous as guess what? We had two days of sun and nice weather in a row!!!  (I know, sad but true). So a lot of time was spent playing outside, waking up the garden and just getting everything freshened up.  We had a glorious egg hunt through the woods and bushes, and our wascally wabbit hid eggs in the bark of the trees, under shrubs, peeking out from rocks – quite inventive if I say so myself.  Good thing we did our egg hunt on the Saturday as Sunday brought 8” of snow! (It was nearly enough to make me want to crawl back into bed and stay there until the real Spring arrived). Ah well, can’t do anything about it.  

My friend and I collaborated and co-created Easter dinner for friends, family and waifs and strays, so I think there were about 20 odd of us which always makes for great conversations and interesting dynamics.  We also played a fabulous game called “Telestrations”, I highly, highly suggest it but the caveat is it’s not really appropriate for small people to play. It can be a bit edgy, kind of like Cards against Humanity.  But it’s great fun!!

On Equinox I did my ritual of writing on little strips of paper things that I would like more of in my life and then I popped them into 12 peat pots, covered them with dirt and planted all sorts of herb seeds in them.  Well with the lack of sun (as Spring is being reluctant in showing herself), I noticed they were a bit straggly, so I moved them to a different window and lower down. About an hour later I walked back into the living room to see that one pot was missing, there was a small pile of dirt on the carpet and Legolas (my large white Akbash) was licking his lips with dirt hanging from his jowls!  The bugger had eaten one of my intentions! So I don’t know if that means he is spreading my intention out into the world or that that intention was just too delicious not to share! Bloody dog!

Okay, enough about twisted games, pooping bunnies and intention eating dogs, let’s get on with the reading.  The deck that came out loud and proud this week is “The Divine Circus Oracle” and if this is your first time coming to this wonderful deck, let me give you the dedication.  “This deck is for those who find it hard to follow rules, conform, bend to authority and generally “do what they are told”.  May your rebel heart always be bold. May your spirit always be free. May you remember to live the Divine Circus and have fun doing things the way you aren’t supposed to, whilst living your most creative and unique divine destiny.”   Ahhhhh, doesn’t that just sound delightfully delicious?  The crystals that literally threw themselves out of the bowl to come play are:- Ruby Zoisite – great for transmuting negative energy into positive.  Snowflake Obsidian – a stone of purity and brings about a balance to body, mind and spirit.  Last but not least, Citrine – highly protective and enhances optimism.  These are then all topped of with of a Selenite wand for amplification.  

I have created an “interesting” visualisation for you that involves some travelling, but don’t fret you won’t need your passport.  However, if you don’t feel the need just take a few moments to slow your breathing down and get centred in yourself and then pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

https://www.jennyheston.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/bowl-of-desires.m4a

Did you pick?

Let’s go have a little look see shall we?

RARE, RAW, REAL

There is a unique beauty in you that wants to shine through.  It is different. It might not be pretty, neat and tidy, and you might even feel vulnerable about sharing this real, unveiled you with the world…do it anyway because the world wants to love you.  The rare, raw and real you.

It’s time to peel back the layers and unearth the real you – naked, vulnerable, real, beautiful.  With every layer of hiding and protection removed, you’ll encounter whatever it was that caused that layer of self protection to be built up in the first place – maybe a sense of shame, fear, hate, anger or doubt.  Affirm your love for yourself, and a willingness to be patient whilst you become ready to be known and seen and loved for who you are underneath those layers of pain, then you’ll find it easier to let them fall away.  As this happens there will be a revelation of a raw, rare and real you that you didn’t even know was there – so pure so powerful, so precious. The inner light of you will shine through, like a lantern suddenly illuminated, with the radiance of you lighting up the dark.  

In being brave enough to do this, you help empower others to be their true selves as well, to be less afraid of what makes them different, to embrace their uniqueness and feel the divine dignity that is rightfully ours when we choose to simply be who we are.  

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.

SECRET OF SHINOBI

Shhhhhh!  Can you keep a secret?  It’s time to play your cards close to your chest.  Soon enough, you’ll be ready to stand upon the mountain top for all to see and hear.  For now, let things unfold in the guarded privacy of your inner world. When the time is right to be seen in the light, you’ll know what is true and what to do.  Until then, be patient, be private, be committed and wait for the right time to shine.

Sometimes being less visible, less transparent, less “seen” for a time is helpful.  It doesn’t mean being dishonest or deceptive, but it does mean keeping your intentions and your truths to yourself until you see the best way to attain your goals.  In fact, the best way to attain your goals might be more of the “iron fist in velvet glove” approach. You might find that gentle persuasion works far better than direct confrontation, which can unintentionally inflame a situation and trigger defensive reactions in others instead of finding a way to bring resolution.

When it is time to show your hand, to reveal your intentions and speak more openly and publicly about what has been gestating, you’ll know it; but for now, let things come together away from prying eyes.  Just for now, it’s time to keep a secret.

Wow, that was quite amazing, they are all to do with patience, trusting and being willing.  (Have I said how much I love my cards?) How did your pick resonate for you? To me these cards are quite “Spring” like in the way that we plant a seed and we have to be patient and not go digging it up to see if it’s growing.  Trust. Such a small word and one that can be very hard to do sometimes. So my gorgeous one, I wish you a glorious week filled with patience, inner knowing and of course huge, huge belly laughs!  Oh yes, and is it just me that thinks Ruby Zoisite would make a great band name?

See you next week.

What do Togas, Green Beer and Wishes have in Common?

Jenny Heston · 2:00 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Marvelous, Manifesting Monday!  So what do Togas, Green Beer, and Wishes have in common?  Nothing, except they all happen this week!

Ahhh, beware the Ides of March!  We have all heard that saying, but what the heck does it mean?  Originally it was notable for Romans as the day of settling debts.  In 44 BC it became notorious as the day Julius Caesar was assassinated.  Then, if you have ever read any Shakespeare, in his play Julius Caesar (written in 1599), Caesar was warned by a soothsayer not to go out, but he did and Caesar’s good friend Brutus was there when he was killed.  Hence the phrase “Et tu Brute”? Oh yes, Ides of March is March 15th.

Shortly after this we have the celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day on the 17th, where all of a sudden everyone is Irish, or half Irish!  Quite fascinating to watch. Green is donned, T-shirts bearing the logo “Kiss me I’m Irish” are worn and green beer or Guinness is served in most pubs.  (I personally love St. Paddy’s day as I am half Irish and I get to hear bagpipes, have a fetish for bagpipe music!) Also, on this same day it is a gorgeous New Moon in Pisces, that delightfully watery, flowy energy and a superb time to make New Moon wishes.  For me personally I am very attracted to water, whether it be a burbling brook, a creek, a lake or the amazing energy of the ocean. Throw in sunshine and you can hear me holler a “Hell Yes!”

We have had gorgeous blue skies and sunshine for three days in a row!!!  (Now I know some of you may be thinking – meh, what’s the big deal?) Well after months and months of grey sky, snow, ice and a cocoon like feeling it is so amazing to have the temperature warm up, the snow start to melt and the sun beat down with glorious radiance!  I noticed as I bustled around town on the weekend, people were holding their heads higher, their shoulders were more relaxed and there were certainly more smiles happening! So cool to watch how, even if we don’t pay attention to it, our bodies respond to the energies of the season and the weather.    

On Saturday morning I treated myself and did 3 hours of Kundalini Yoga with the most amazing Sat Kaur – where we explored cutting the ties to the “dross” so that we could focus our energy on what makes us feel happy.  Thus, after a delicious kriya I thought – what makes me feel really happy that’s easy to do right now?

Sun, water, nature, exploring, connection etc.  Wanting to lock that “sense” into my body I grabbed my wonderful friend Christine, our dogs and we went out to one of the Provincial Parks nearby.  Here we live on a lake, it’s about 150 miles long and quite vast and with it being the tail end of winter the water level was low, so there was beach galore to walk along that went out to a spit in the middle of the lake.  The wind was a tad chilly, but it pushed the water up in gentle waves that created that delicious “lapping” sound I sooooo love. The sky was that incredible robin egg blue and the large mountains at the end of the lake, which are still covered in snow,  created an impressive contrast of white against the blue and the sun felt comfortingly warm on my back.

Ahhhhhhh, was how my body responded.  Such a glorious reminder of grounding, being present and really appreciating the moment and not fretting about what else needs to get done.  Such a divine way to spend a morning. I literally came home feeling nurtured and buzzing with energy! Which then poses the question – what is easy for you to do that makes you feel happy?  What is something you can do regularly, inexpensively that really makes your shoulders drop and your heart sing?

As I sat down to do this reading, with the energy of the sun, water and New Moon buzzing through me, it was delightful to see “The Lightworker Oracle” deck come out to play.  She has been rather shy and reticent in this arena, so it was very cool to see she was so bold! Her dedication is very simple but strong – “May you always turn to the light.” The crystals that chose themselves for this reading are:- Lepidolite,  Moonstone and Brecciated Jasper.

Ready?  Just breathe, just take a lovely breathe out and then breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.  Focus on what makes you feel happy. It could be a flower, an experience, a vision. Just focus on the feeling of how that makes you feel.  Breathe that in. If you want some help with just getting relaxed and comfy there is a fun guided visualisation that involves water.

Then when you are ready, pick the card/cards that call to you.  Remember there is no right way or wrong way, it just is. Trust yourself.

Did you pick?

PARADIGM SHIFT

You are undergoing radical growth in your belief systems.  Now is the time to challenge old attitudes and question previous expectations.  You are in an extraordinary time. Great leaps forward can be made in a moment. The world you thought you knew can suddenly break open, and a new world can become your reality.

Buddhists sometimes speak of the “beginner’s mind” – that which assumes nothing and therefore is open to everything.  Old souls can sometimes find it hard to recapture their “not knowingness”. Asking someone with a lot of life experience, who may have become a bit world-weary, to drop expectations and look at the world through fresh eyes can be challenging.  Yet life becomes much more energising and interesting when you are open and don’t hold expectations about what will be. Suddenly, you are receptive to the Universe helping you in ways that, in the past, you did not believe possible – all because you kept an open mind.

If you are feeling that you don’t really know yourself, your relationships or your place in the world as you once did – if you are feeling that what you once held to be certain now seems to be a little shaky – these are signs that you are going through paradigm shift.  This will bring you new perceptions that will free you to be in the world in new ways. You will find yourself shedding old limiting fears and misconceptions. You are stepping beyond what you have known . You are a bit like a traveller in a new city feeling awkward until she gets the “lay of the land”, and how things operate in that new place.  As you trust the unexpected and unknown, the Universe will be able to help you in unexpected and previously unknown ways. Embrace the power you have to be a free thinker. Dare to think thoughts of love rather than lower your vibration by choosing thoughts of fear. Trust, for something helpful and empowering is happening in your soul.

EARTH HEALING

You are making a real contribution to the planet through your spiritual journey.  Remember this and believe that your needs will be generously met by the earth and the Universe.  What you are doing matters, and you will be supported.

The earth recognises you.  She sees you as a conduit through which she is fed higher frequencies of light, love and divine presence.  This assists her on the journey of her own evolution. You are here to have your spiritual life journey in a human body.  Part of that process will involve sharing your light with the earth, itself. This may see you take on the role of healer, guide, mentor or teacher to others on the path.  It may see you doing work with the natural world. It may involve an active prayer life that is ongoing through your day, praying for assistance, compassion, clearing and blessing when you see an accident on the road, an animal or person who seems to be suffering, or an item on the news that you know needs light and healing.

From the most obvious gestures to the more subtle, you are powerful enough to make a meaningful contribution to the quality of consciousness upon Earth.  Earth asks you to do your work with quiet confidence and dedication. She gives thanks for all you have done and acknowledges her love for you. She will support you in your work by providing material means for you, whilst you are here on this planet.  These include financial support, housing, food and human and animal relationships. She will also provide guidance for your progress, opportunities to grow and expand your field of influence, education and training opportunities, the means to take advantage of them and the chance to apply what you have learned in a real-world context.  The more you devote yourself to your task of earth healing, the more the earth will support you in fulfilling your inspired goals.

If you have been wondering if the spiritual work you are doing is making a contribution – what you are doing matters!  Yes, you are going to expand and grow in the work you are doing and the impact that you have in the world, because you are capable of that.  Keep working, shining and growing, dear one. Your presence here is so needed and honoured.

SOUL CHILD

Rebirth is upon you, beautiful child of the Universe.  You have prepared for new life, and it is starting right now.  The divine moment of rebirth – which occurs after a period of struggle, of intense inner work and physical transformation – has arrived.  Enjoy getting to know this new self. It is new day, a new beginning, a new you. Like an adventurer enjoying the discovery of a brand new world, take your time to explore the increase of your light, power and love.

You have undergone the death of the old order.  Nothing is as it was, nor will it be so again. You have had to learn detachment, to release and let go, over and over again.  In so many ways, you have experienced inner death as you have bravely surrendered that which no longer serves your growth this lifetime – even if you once loved it dearly or couldn’t imagine life without it.  Deep inside, through that process, your soul has been gathering energy. It has been drawing it away from the old forms of your life and relationships, from your old beliefs about health, finances, work and from what used to hold meaning for you.  It has done so in order to feed the new soul child being carried within your body. This new you is filled with divine light, love and power. Your inner soul child, this newly integrated self, is preparing for birth, now. From that which is no longer, something new is now being born.

You are ready for the next cycle or phase of your life.  Even if, like a newborn colt learning to stand steady on shaky legs, you are not sure of your strength, be reassured:  The new self you are experiencing will grow strong and powerful soon enough. Let confidence in your new self emerge. Reflect upon how different you are now to a year or even a month ago.  Be curious about who you are now. Do not expect the same reactions or experiences you encountered in your past. It is a time of celebration and acknowledgement that a new day, a new you has begun a journey in the physical world.  You shall enjoy the divine harvest of all of your growth and effort!

So gorgeous one, how did that feel?  We are coming up to Spring Equinox next week, so if you find yourself planning projects, wanting to grow things or randomly singing out loud – these are all good!  Wishing you a stupendous week, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. See you next Monday!

A wee message to patriarchy, with love from Scotla A wee message to patriarchy, with love from Scotland. 🖕😂

We’re done with power over people, power over women, power over the planet. We’re here for matriarchal ways rooted in care, respect, shared power and community. And we’re a wee bit tired of being told how to behave, how to look and how to be women in this world!! So here’s our sisterly response… with love, laughter and a little Scottish sass! 😉

A wee note: We’re a group of Canadian sisters and one beautiful U.S. sister exploring Scotland together. Some of us have Scottish roots, and all of us brought a little wyld spirit! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The trees are loosening their grip, Gorgeous Soul. The trees are loosening their grip, Gorgeous Soul. What are you ready to release? 🍂

Sitting in a glorious pile of leaves, I pulled October’s card: Unfurl the Wings of Forgiveness.

Accountability and compassion. The courage to own your part, the tenderness to forgive yourself, and boundaries that honour both.

There’s autumn magick in this invitation—and a little delicious mischief, too.

It’s easy to think of yourself as a good man. The It’s easy to think of yourself as a good man. The harder question is: who are you when it’s just you and the boys?

When the joke crosses the line.
When the group chat turns ugly.
When a woman is being degraded.
When you know something is wrong.

Do you speak up, even if it costs you your place in the group?

Because women cannot be in every room asking men to respect us.

Men have to demand it from each other.

So I’m asking men: when was the last time you called out another man?

Don’t just teach your sons not to hurt women. Teach them not to stand silently beside men who do.
Summer is letting go. 🍂 Can you feel it? The lig Summer is letting go. 🍂

Can you feel it?

The light has changed. The evenings are arriving earlier. Leaves are turning, birds are gathering and Nature is beginning that slow, delicious turn inward.

Then on September 26th comes the Harvest Full Moon. 🌕

And maybe she’s not asking:

What’s next?

Maybe she’s asking:

What is already ripe?

What has quietly grown in you this season?

What are you ready to gather?

And what might you finally be ready to let fall?

I’ve written a new Harvest Moon piece through my Seasonal Lens, with journal prompts and one of my favourite slightly ridiculous rituals.

It involves bubbles.

Of course it bloody does. 😂🫧

🍂 Tomorrow, the Wheel turns. For one delicious mo 🍂 Tomorrow, the Wheel turns.

For one delicious moment, we stand at the threshold between seasons.

Before rushing into autumn, what if you stopped long enough to look back?

At the summer you actually lived.
At what surprised you.
What challenged you.
What delighted you.
What quietly grew while you were busy doing other things.

You don’t need a perfect harvest.

You only need to recognise what is already in your hands.

That’s the question sitting at the heart of Mabon: The Gathering.

Not what did you accomplish?

Not did summer go according to plan?

But what grew?

A boundary?
A truth?
Some courage?
A delicious bit of weirdness?
Maybe something you didn’t even realise was a harvest until now.

I created a 24-page Mabon journey filled with reflection, journalling, ritual, harvest magick and a five-card Tarot/Oracle spread.

Because before we charge into the next season…

perhaps we should notice who arrived here. 🍎

Today is exactly one week before my birthday, I to Today is exactly one week before my birthday, I took a leap and received a “channelled” tattoo.

Was I sceptical? Abso-frigging-lutely. I wouldn’t even see the design until two hours before my appointment.

Then the image arrived—and I fell completely in love.

An apple, lavender, chamomile, rosemary, hare’s-foot fern and glorious Amanita mushrooms, all woven together beneath the stars and the sweep of the Milky Way.

Every piece holds meaning. Together, they form a tiny wild universe—a botanical talisman of nature, healing, memory, resilience, cosmic wonder and a wee bit of Fae mischief.

And now it rests above my heart, exactly where it belongs.

@inkspired_.tattoo.studio , you are an extraordinary human. This was so much more than a tattoo—it was a soulful, intentional experience and the perfect birthday gift.

A little wild.
A little witchy.
A little cosmic.
A little Fae.
And entirely me. 🍎🌿🍄✨
