Weekly Reading October 3rd

Jenny Heston · 1:54 pm ·

Happy Monday!  Actually, happy first Monday in October!  How is your Autumn going?  Are you able to get out and enjoy the glorious colours that Mother Nature is sharing with you?  For me every morning when I look out at the mountainside it is like a gorgeous new painting – this is where I really wish I could paint and capture the vibrancy, the colours, the way the sun filters through the golden leaves and imbue it all with the smell.  Alas, my paintings tend to look either bizarrely abstract or like stick people have taken over the page.  Sigh.  

This weekend, even though it was rather grey and rainy I managed to plant 275 spring bulbs. I love those first flowers of spring, the daffodils, tulips, bluebells, lily of the valley, crocus – that dash of colour after a long grey/white winter uplifts me and makes me feel expansive.  So yes, I did get muddy, wet and cold – however, the bulbs of grandeur and delight are planted and it may take 6 months until I see them, but I know they are growing and when the time is right they will blossom.  Kind of like us.  With that in mind, the cards that wanted to come play this week are the lovely Kuan Yin Oracle deck by Alana Fairchild.  The gemstones are the peacock stone, rose quartz and amethyst.

So as October is the month of Balance energy, I invite you to come explore that with me.  Gently close your eyes down and first breathe out, release and then as you breathe in, breathe in love and as you breathe out breathe out any fear, anxiety, doubt or mental clutter.  Let’s do that one again – breathe in deep, deep to the belly and feel yourself filled with unconditional love and as you exhale out through an open mouth – release.  

In front of you is an exquisite ceramic bowl and it is filled with all sorts of spring bulbs.  You don’t know what any of these bulbs are but you trust that at the right time they will flourish and share their beauty with you.  Just past this bowl is a rich, ripe, verdant plot of soil that is gently shielded from chill autumn winds by the drooping branches of multi-coloured trees.  As you pick up your trowel and a bulb you set an intention.  For the first bulb you sent an intention of BEing, how do you want to BE in this world and you gently place it into the hole you have created for it and pull the earth back over and give it a gentle pat.  The next bulb you sent an intention of DOing, what do you want to DO in this world, how do you want to serve and gently place it in the new hole you carefully dug for it and cover it over.  The last bulb calls to your heart and soul and asks you to set an intention of NOURISHMENT, how or what do you need to nourish yourself as you find BALANCE in all aspects of your life.  Is it having quiet time daily, getting out into the woods, connecting with friends regularly, a long soak in a tub with gorgeous music?  Create a lovely hole for this one and set the intention of all the ways you can nourish and love yourself through the day, the week, the month and the winter so that you can fully appreciate your BEing bulb and your DOing bulb. Repeat this process until all your bulbs are planted and as you gently even the dirt out,  and sit back on your haunches to look at your work,  you take a deep breath in and the air is filled with promise, possibility and peace and a great big smile tickles the corners of your mouth as you know, you feel, you trust – your not alone and it’s all going to be good.  Take one more deep breathe and then pick.

Now let’s go look and see what gorgeous guidance and insight is to be shared with you.

reveal-october-3rd

REVEAL THE PEACOCK BEAUTY

The beauty of the peacock is breathtaking, with stunning lush colour unfolding in graceful and proud display.  You too are a great beauty, beloved.  Within you resides a glorious divine being of beautiful light, with an ability to create, as your divine birthright.  The Peacock Beauty speaks to you of your creative energies rising to sublime, inspired new levels as you are accessing the power of your throat chakra for higher creation.  Your intentions, decisions and particularly your words, are becoming more powerful.  Enjoy the wise use of this growing creative potency to express the beauty within you, asking for Divine Blessing on all your plans, projects and words.   

There is a stirring within you to create greater beauty in your life, to honour the creative ability that you have to express such sublime feelings that reside within you.  You can begin to create divine beauty through your words and actions.  As the power of the throat chakra grows, our urge to express ourselves in a uniquely creative way can become strong.  This creativity is the voice of the Soul wishing to manifest itself in the physical world. The power of your Soul is starting to flow through your words and plans.  

Whatever project, plan or purpose you have been contemplating is in alignment with the higher creativity of your Soul.  Don’t worry if the details aren’t unfolding as you thought they would.  Be clear with your intention and surrender the details to the Universe so that they can unfold according to a vision greater than your own.  Don’t give up, but do let go.

NECTAR OF THE LOTUS

The Divine Mother wishes that those who are meant to feed others be well fed too!  Your devotion to helping others has the effect of squeezing the cosmic heart chakra of the Divine Mother.  From her heart drips nectar, sweet, sustaining, life affirming energy that feeds you and allows you to nourish many souls.  Like a sacred chalice that overflows, when you are full, well and and vital, the feeding of others happens effortlessly.  There is an endless supply of energy, joy, peace, bliss and love for you.  Yet sometimes we may experience limitation instead of endless supply.  If that’s the case it is time to shift and trust.  Any limitation we are feeling could be a sign that our mind and emotional life could use some help shifting from scarcity consciousness into consciousness of abundance.  

A limit or restriction in our energy might indicate that we have been so focused on giving to others that we have forgotten that we are a part of the divine heart we are seeking to embody and we need to gain more balance in our lives by taking some time out and attention for ourselves.  

Divine Nectar is our vital energy, it is life force and the fuel for growth of all kinds.  It is peace, it is power, it is abundance and it is love and divine grace.  When our chi energy or life force is replenished we feel creative, happier and more content, accepting of ourselves, others and life and more in flow.  Chi comes from connection.  What part of you needs more connection?  Taking a few moments to consider what you need strengthens your self-awareness and increases your ability to consciously meet your needs.  The Mother Divine wants to help you and you can assist her by helping yourself too!

THE YIN EMPRESS

The Yin Empress brings peace, prosperity and success to her beloved devotees.  Your Soul Purpose includes Healing and Empowerment of the Divine Feminine, the Yin Empress herself.  You gain power, assistance and untold blessings in following you Soul Purpose.  You are lifted and supported in your Sacred Work now.

You are a spiritual leader and pioneer and part of what you are here to do for the planet on a  soul level, whether you are male or female, is to empower the Divine Feminine.  You may feel you don’t fit into current culture.  You are not meant to, because you are meant to help it to grow and change!  Your Soul yearns to make a real difference in this world, to help it be free of fear that leads to competition and domination and power struggles and instead to live from a place of love and peace.  

Men and women who are in touch with their feminine power are able to love, to have compassion, have fierce gentleness, live their heart truths and to be truthful and to honour what really matters to them, whether it fits with contemporary cultural values or not.  Living in this way not only feels better and more truthful, it also leads to a successful life with much creativity, positive contribution, personal empowerment and satisfying relationships, not to mention inspiration for others to draw from so that they too may grow.  You are being asked to live into your feminine power now, to be true to who you are and not give in to social conditioning that tells you feminine power is not enough, that you must compromise your beliefs or your compassion to ‘get ahead’ or ‘come out on top’.  Live from your heart and realise that this is not only enough, it is a blessing for all.  

So gorgeous one, I wish you a stupendous week filled with autumnal beauty, heart based living, laughter and peace.

Happy glorious Monday delicious lovely!!!  Can you believe we are at the end of August, this month has just whipped by in what feels to be a tower of boxes, a wall of heat and a pile of sawdust!  We have had tons of baking, energy sapping hot weather and the other day as I was shoveling out a truck full of horse manure to create a gorgeous garden bed a huge flash storm hit.  One minute it was sunny, the next it was torrential rain and I was getting covered in horse shit (which I didn’t mind) and it was exceptionally refreshing and cleansing.  After the storm passed there was a delicious sense of freshness, newness, unfolding possibilities and calmness in the air.  

So with that thought in mind (the storm, not the horse shit), let’s take a moment to drop into ourselves, calm the mind and connect with our gorgeous, strong, loving intuition.  

Imagine that you are standing at the silent centre of a great cleansing storm.  The wind is whipping around you, you can feel your hair lift with it and there is a sense of wildness, change and unknown.  All aspects of your life are rained upon, blown about and even messed up a little.  How do you feel?  

The storm slowly passes and in its wake you are left with soft sunshine, hair in disarray and slightly soggy feet!  Some parts of your life will have been washed away.  Some other pieces will be strong and stable, a bit messy perhaps but still there nonetheless.  How do you feel?  

Underneath your soggy feet you see a pattern forming in the cleansed earth, as if it is rising up from the damp, slightly disturbed soil.  A golden gleaming geometric pattern of the flower of life glows.  Sense the perfection of the form, see how each flower feeds into the next, in symmetry, harmony and balance.  See the golden flowers all interlinking spreading off into the distance and as you raise your eyes from this wonder before you there is a gorgeous rainbow shining brightly in the sky.  

So in your gorgeous cleansed and grounded state, trust yourself and pick the card(s) that call to you.

RESTORE AND REPLENISH

You are in need of something so much deeper than rest.  You need restoration, replenishment and revival.  This will not necessarily come from lying about somewhere taking a moment out of your day or evening activities.  

You are more likely to gain what you need by breaking with your routine completely and doing something different.  You need some variety, some spice, some change to bring fresh energy into your body, mind and heart.  You need to restore and revive yourself by changing the usual flow of energy through your being.  You could stimulate this process by going to a different place, meeting different people and taking different action to what you would usually do.

However, it is now time to move, without pushing yourself, beyond what is known, comfortable and familiar.  Life is telling you that it is time to put down the paintbrush, the pen, the endless lists and the thinking mind and get into your body.  You are in an important transition phase between one level of experience and the next.  If you feel as though you are treading water or are in a sort of purgatory – somewhere between your old life and your new life then this especially applies to you.  Soon you will have the power and energy you need to reach for the next level – and succeed.  

INSPIRATION

An idea has captured your attention – or will do so very soon.  It may be a grand vision or the vague sense of something that could be. You are being encouraged to accept the vision, the idea or the inspiration as it is important to your creative and spiritual growth.  

The bee is bringing  you healing medicine-wisdom from nature to aid the message of the oracle of Inspiration.  The bee is a powerful spirit totem.  Bees are able to fly with wings that are significantly small in proportion to their heavier bodies.  Your idea, even if it seems like a big, substantial plan that might be difficult to “get off the ground” and up and running, can succeed.  

Allow inspiration to fill you with enthusiasm, an expectation of magic and marvelous synchronicity, as people, situations and opportunities fall into place to help bring your inspiration into reality.  You are meant to think and do things differently .  Your inspiration comes direct from the universal creative source and you are being asked to believe and recognise the signature of great intelligence within your inspirational ideas and creative urges – and to act accordingly.  Bee-lieve!

THE PERFECTION OF YOUR LIFE

Have you ever seen a storm pictured from above?  It can appear to be so beautiful and elegant.  This Is certainly different to the ground view which can be quite a violent experience.  So too, there is great beauty in your life now.  However,at this point in the natural process, you may be experiencing it as anxiety-inducing rather than beautiful.  You may sense it as internal chaos.  You may feel it is something that is waiting to erupt from within, as a restlessness or an anxiety that you cannot quite articulate but sense vaguely nonetheless.  

Whether the chaos seems subtle,strong, internal or external, this oracle brings the same message for you.  All is unfolding according to a perfect higher order.  You are currently enduring a cosmic, spiritual storm which is having an impact on you.  It is clearing things out, ruffling feathers and preparing you for that lovely, super-fresh, uplifting feeling that one experiences after the storm has finally passed.  

No matter what appears to be, in truth there is only the unfolding, creative genius of the universe.  You are not forgotten.  You have not been looked over.  You have not been denied, found wanting or rejected as unworthy.  Express whatever is needed, however is needed, this will call on the powerful perfection of your life path, as it aligns for the next creative turn of the spiral of life.  Trust and directly experience the flower of life unfolding within you and around you.

Have a glorious week, and don’t forget it is New Moon on September 1st.  A great time to hit the reset button and get clear on what you want in your life.

Jenny Heston · 4:11 pm ·

Happy glorious Monday delicious lovely!  I hope you have had a great week and remembered to practice self care and not let things overwhelm you.  At our house we are in the midst of packing and purging as we move in under 2 weeks, on top of that I am building a new garden and a large fence at the new house.  So it’s all go!   Even more reason why I am being vigilant about practicing energy management and daily nourishing habits.  One of those habits being that every morning armed with a nice cuppa tea I sit out on the deck and ask Spirit:- “Allow me to see clearly, the solution or guidance that I need.  So I no longer have to worry I am doing the wrong thing.”  And then I pull an Angelic Messenger card, I love this deck I have used it every morning without fail for over a year now.  

So that is the deck we will be using today!  I am very excited to share it with you!  It was so lovely to do this reading outside in the dappled sunlight whilst sitting under the bowers of the plum tree.

Let’s take a few moments to get centered and connect to our inner knowing and our higher power.  

Gently roll your shoulders up and back and allow the shoulder blades to gently float down either side of your spine.  Take a deep nourishing, healing breath in through the nose and gently out through the mouth with a soft sigh.  Keeping breathing long and deep and imagine coming from your feet are gorgeous strong roots that are winding their way down into the soil, down, down, down into the center of the earth.  Your roots are strong, vibrant and healthy and as they wend further into the earth they are gently pulling up the energy from Pachamama/Gaia/Mother Earth.  Bringing this gorgeous green energy up your roots and into your core.  As you breathe it in feel your arms stretching towards the sky, reaching towards your guides, angels and desires.  Feel your arms turn into strong, supple branches reaching higher and higher, inviting the delicious violet  energy from the Universe to flow down your glorious branches into your core to meet with the green healing energy that is coming up from your roots.  As these two energies meet such a blessing occurs and to celebrate – from your fingertips explode lots of little seed stars that dance away on the gentle breeze that blows through your glorious leafy branches.  These are your desires, your wishes, your blessings heading out in the air to slowly come back to earth and find a place to root and manifest just for you.  Take a few more deep breaths as this glorious tree that is filled with the energy of the earth and the energy of the divine and when you are ready slowly bring yourself back to your body and open your eyes.  

Remember, this connection is always available to you, when you need it – stand with your feet firmly on the ground and raise your arms over your head and breathe.  Know you are a glorious vessel filled with healing and manifesting energy.

POWER

You have drawn this card to rediscover a deeper capacity for love and compassion.  Through implementation of this realisation, you will advance into authentic spiritual leadership.  You have sought guidance for your own life, and now you are to learn to seek guidance for the lives of others and for the earth.  You are reawakening to your spirit’s purpose.  You are being guided to accept love without judgment and to use compassion freely, and in so doing to remove any constraints and limiting beliefs you’ve placed on the power of love to heal, help, change, and awaken grace within all living things.  

The spiritual energy of your life is welling up deep inside you from the core of your being and circling your spine to renew your life.  You are in the process of managing this intense emerging energy so that you will direct it toward awakening the God within.  Accept your larger role in life and trust that through the grace of your angelic teachers and the Divine you will be able to recognise your opportunities to balance and stabilise your life, the lives of others and the earth’s living environment.  Notice the three golden rings of expression of your power.  This flower alerts you to work with the three major aspects of spiritual energy: resilience, empathy, and grace!

INTROSPECTION

You have entered a period of rapid internal spiritual change.  These changes may be manifesting in your life as an insatiable desire to read and learn from books, a longing to travel, or perhaps a desire to move to or vacation in places offering a very different landscape.  Your shifting internal landscape may also be recognisable through sudden mood shifts or the abrupt emergence of ideas, compulsions, feelings, or desires that are entirely new to you.  Energy is on the move in your being, and nature is the catalyst to help you learn.  

Open to the full presence and power of your life and accept your role as a steward of the earth.  You are being encouraged to unfold into the full and glorious nature of your life as this flower is doing symbolically.  You are being urged to listen to your heart and to observe life around you in order to sense the true significance of the choices being asked of you.  As the ant, caterpillar or field mouse must continually sense and observe its environment for predators, you also are required to continually observe your internal environment for predators.  Your predators are a lack of attention to the quality of your life, a lack of love in making choices that affect nature’s well being, a preoccupation with your own needs regardless of the cost to other living things.  

PURPOSE

It is time to understand the nature of your lifework and to accept that right now you are living some version of your mission.  Accept that your meaningful work is unfolding as you awaken spiritually and that the process can be sped up only through personal spiritual practice.  In seeking your life’s means of service and contribution to humanity, you may eventually need further schooling, or you may need to move or change in external ways, but these opportunities will flow smoothly into your life as the natural extension of your inner joy.  

How do you find the specific ways to accomplish these things that you came to the earth to do if it is impossible to choose them with your mind?  The answer is that you choose them with your heart, and then your mind can put its efforts into giving form and presence to this inner awareness.  Please keep joy foremost in your mind and resist the seduction of your ego, which needs to give  your service instant shape.  Push away the demands of your ego, and listen attentively to the joy radiating from your soul.  Your life and your personal spiritual evolution are both in progress, always in the process of discovery.  It is your choice whether to remove  your gaze from the mountaintop long enough to discover the ground at your feet.  Focus on your inner nature before checking the want ads.  What you do willingly and effortlessly opens your heart to love and leads to the enhancement of your own goodness and self worth, thus manifesting into the tangible means of service you seek or desire to deepen.  

Remember tomorrow is the gorgeous Full Moon (also known as the Buck Moon).  It’s time to anchor and really ground new truth, new intentions, new resolutions, new personal practices and focus on balance.  Time for you, time for self care and time for service.

Jenny Heston · 2:02 pm ·

Happy Wonderful Monday delicious lovely!  How did you fare with the energy of the Full Moon and the Solstice?  A lot of people shared with me that they felt rather fractious, fragmented and feisty!  I will admit, I too felt in a very similar vein and found myself a tad sharper with people than normal and getting rather frustrated when things didn’t go according to plan, thankfully I used some crystals, essential oils and various grounding practices to keep bringing me back to looking at things “through a love lens”, in other words, running my thoughts and words through my heart before I opened my mouth – well most of the time!  (Apologies to those who encountered me when I wasn’t doing that, or when I was hungry.)

So I invite you before you pick a card or ask a question to drop into your heart.  

Gently close your eyes and take a deep cleansing breath in all the way down to your belly button and past it, as you exhale let it go with a sigh.  We are going to do 7 of these gorgeous breathes, each one getting a little slower, a little longer and a little deeper.  As you breathe imagine a gorgeous huge sunflower is following the sun, from sunrise to sunset.  As the beautiful flower slowly pans from one side to another a golden arc of light is being created by the gently moving head of the sunflower.  

That arc of light flips upside down and becomes a vessel filled with all this delicious golden energy that drop down like a gentle rainfall of energy, from the golden orb of the sun.  Imagine you can bathe in the vessel of golden energy.  It feels so nourishing and good.  Stay with that feeling and allow it to settle into your heart.  Feel this glorious golden light washing away your cares, your worries and radiating out into the world in all its golden glory.  In your own time open your eyes and with your heart centred and open to receiving whatever it needs to hear, pick a card.

GOING BEYOND NORMAL

On the path of life there are deciding moments where we can choose to go with the mainstream or we can dare to take a bolder, more authentic and trusting way – even if it seems riskier or less safe.  To rely solely on logic and science, without incorporating the mysterious and magical is a recipe for an existence that is far too dray!  The sacred rebel within our hearts will always choose a juicier approach to life.  You are currently approaching such a choice point.  

There is a time and place for logic, strategy, planning and measurable outcomes.  These are not bad tools to have but we must be vigilant not to worship them or allow them to quash our less rational, but equally valuable decision-making tools:  intuition, feelings and those things you know, without knowing how you know them!  You are being asked to stay open to the intuitive approach in your life, your work, your creativity as well as in your spiritual journey.  You are moving outside of the plan and logic!  You are living on the border of what is socially accepted.  This is good.  This is fringe-dwelling freedom.  You now have a chance to live from the heart more deeply and expressively than ever before.  You can give up forcing or squashing yourself down into a very limited set of so-called desirable qualities like intellect and control.  

You are going to be breaking with tradition.  Perhaps not entirely but at least in a way that is meaningful to you.  This will require you to have courage in your convictions and faith in your heart truths.  This will help you inspire others around you to step out of fear and live more freely and lovingly.  It’s time to get a bit wild and let nature take its course!

SHE FEELS, SHE KNOWS

An illumination is erupting from within you as a vision that is bringing what was once obscured into clarity.  This is not likely to happen as a blinding, shocking insight, but as more of a softer, gentle knowing.  It is like knowing something without understanding exactly when or how you came to know it.  This insight will assist you and you are being asked to honour it.  You will know which insight it is at the right time.  Your heart will tell you.  

Something that is far bigger than the immediate situation, issue or moment is of importance – although you will only have a dim sense of that possibility, at best.  The situation you find yourself in right now may not be one of joy, but in time you will understand more of the bigger picture.  You are being asked to think in terms of long-term happiness.  Sometimes this warrants change or even temporary restrictions in the short term.  Through the natural process of transformation, great leaps are indeed possible.  You simply must be prepared to surrender into the process with absolute trust.

The situations in your current life are particularly geared towards a more significant manifestation that is coming to you, according to your life path and purpose.  This is a stage of preparation and of building a foundation that will hold you strong and centred as your creative journey unfolds and your life path becomes ever more brilliant and luminous.  So keep plugging away, remain patient but most of all, be hopeful and trust in the light you sense ahead of you, for it is the light that is within you, simply revealed more fully.  And all that is happening now, is happening to that end.

LEGACY OF LIGHT

You are being asked to honour the legacy of light that is your sacred birthright.  This is a sacred endowment from the great universal source of light to humanity.  It is the light of wisdom, creativity, radical courage, love and respect that is passed down from the heart of each generation to the next.  The legacy of light is your spiritual birthright to refine and shine your essence into the world….to be like a sun, radiant and unapologetic of your nature.  

The more you are nourished by this legacy of light from your past, the more you become a bearer of the legacy for those that will be supported by your light in the future.  A creative choice you are making, or have made, or soon will make, is one that is in alignment with your sacred purpose and spiritual path of healing and growth.  The legacy of light cannot be ignored without some detriment to your sense of wellbeing.  If you were asking about a particular question and chose this card, then part of the answer to your question is that the issue at hand is one of utmost importance to your spiritual growth.  

The legacy of light also ask you to call on the unconditionally loving support that exists for you, every day.  This light will offer you all manner of assistance.  To not call upon it is like starving because you have no means to acquire food, whilst a feast lays before your eyes – if only you would partake of it!  You have some special creative and healing offering to make to the world in this lifetime.  You will leave a legacy of light for the greater good upon this planet and you will be lovingly supported in many ways by the great creative universal intelligence when you ask for help.

Wishing you a delicious, fantabulous week and remember the sunflower!

Happy Wonderful May!  Do you have lovely flowers coming into bloom where you are?  We have been very blessed with fantabulous warm weather and all the lilacs are in full bloom.  So as I sit outside in an early evening there is a gorgeous wafting of their delicious perfume on the breeze as it undulates by.  Deliciously Heavenly!

With us being in a new month I did think of using a different deck, but I have to admit, this wonderful Sacred Rebels Oracle deck keeps calling to me, so I am going to keep answering until it says it is time for a change.

I invite you, wherever you are to just slow down for a few moments and take a gentle pause.  (Of course if you are driving that could be a tad tricky!)  Envision a gorgeous woodland path, can you see it?  

You feel pulled to follow this path with its cherry trees and apple trees all in blossom lining the edges of the path and the petals gently floating down to land on the bright green grass below.  As you walk along you can you see an opening, a glade where the sunlight is dappled as it filters through the canopy of leaves above and there is an old stone bench. You sit down on the bench and as you do you can feel all your stress, tension and anxiety flowing out of your body and into the solid earth beneath you.  You look around and a sense of ease, joy and serenity flows in through the top of your head and all the way down into your toes as you take a deep healing, cleansing breathe and gently close your eyes and smile to yourself at how perfect everything is.  

In this moment know you are guided.

Reading May 2

Now let’s go see what guidance you received.

Reveal May 2

SEEING THE TRUE YOU

Sometimes we believe what others tell us we are, as though the self we see reflected back to us through their eyes is truth.  You have been putting rather too much faith in the reflections others have of you – to the point that you might not be honouring all that you are and all that you are becoming, because you believe too little of yourself.

You are to begin to develop the art of direct perception.  This is the ability to recognise yourself not only in the eyes of others, but from how you feel about yourself, how you experience yourself and how you observe yourself (with compassion and kindness) from within.  This is a step towards a radical empowerment that does not require perfection in order for you to recognise you are loveable and have much to offer.  It is empowerment based on the acceptance of all that you are.  

If you are getting confused about who you are and your motives or actions based on what others are saying or how they are responding to you, step back.  In your quest to be a responsible person, you may be unintentionally taking on the feelings of others, making their reflections of you more than they are in truth.  More often than not reflections are more about the state of the reflector than what is being reflected.  Let those external perceptions go.  Can you just acknowledge yourself?  Do so and be free!

WHAT IS ALREADY WITH YOU

You hold in your hand that which you seek.  In other words, the pair of spectacles you have been rummaging around the house for, are sitting on top of your head.  What you are seeking, perhaps by exploring far and wide, is actually right under your nose.  You may not like this idea!  Of course there is unlimited creative potential and always something more that can be – yet in this instance, it is important for you to know that you already have what you need and what you want.  

Acknowledge that everything necessary for success is with you now.  All you need do is accept this and act with what you have available to you.  Don’t make the mistake of believing that what you need is behind you, lies with another or is yet to appear.  You have all that you need to take the next step in your life and from that, all else will flow.  You are more ready than you think you are.  You are more prepared than you realise.  

All that you need in this moment is just one sweet act of nourishment.  That is enough to take you out of backwards nostalgia or regret, and forwards into what is awaiting you now.  Be brave.  Dig deep within.  And enjoy the sweet surrender.

AFTER THE STORM

There’s a thunderstorm about.  It is either headed your way or just passing through now.  Don’t make a thunderstorm mean more than what it is, though.  You don’t have to fear it.  You might even feel excitement about it.  After all, a thunderstorm is just nature’s way of gathering energy together that needs to be released.  With a release of tension, relief and freedom soon follow, often with a fresh perspective and perhaps the gift of a promising hopeful vision for your future.

There is, in life and in the creative process, a need to allow for wild storms.  Without this building and releasing of energy, we would suffer from boredom and stagnancy.  The storm wisdom offers you the gift of bringing things to a head, and clearing them away, so that the energy can be freed from a pattern that has had its day, and is ready to become something new.

Even amongst the chaos of change and in moments of anxiety, know that you have so much light and trust in your heart that you can see the storm is but a passing process, and nothing that need worry.  This storm of sorts, is transformational and supportive of your growth.  It is going to clear away cobwebs and free you, open you, to new creative energy and life.  So let go, hold only to your inner self and allow everything to be cleansed in the sacred storm.  Remember, there are no rainbows without a little rain.

Have a glorious week, remember to Breathe, to Trust and to Celebrate!!

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.

🍂 What grew in you while you were busy living? Th 🍂 What grew in you while you were busy living?

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. 🍎🌿🍄✨
