March, Meditation and Mundanity.

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Marvelous, Mellow, Momentous, Meteoric, Mirthful March Monday delicious lovely! That’s right we are in a new month – March, the promise of Spring!

Can you feel the energy slowly building- the energy of rebirth, release and rejuvenation? I sure can and thankfully Mumma Nature has been showing off with swaths of snowdrops carpeting the hillsides and massive clumps of wild daffodils popping up in the most random places. I so love their bright yellow heads that bob and dance in the breeze or the rain, they literally scream “Spring is coming”, which it is with Spring Equinox on the 20th! Whoot!

The birds have come flooding back and they happily empty out the bird feeder once every 3 days (greedy little buggers), and the other afternoon, as I sat out in the sun pondering the design of my Witches garden, I laughed to watch two chubby, chubby little nuthatches give themselves a thorough scrub down in the bird bath. They were filled with pure glee and throwing water everywhere.

I love this time of year. There’s a glorious sense of promise, growth, celebration and I love, love, love it! What signs of Spring are you seeing around you?

Many of you have messaged and emailed asking when the doors to Creatrix Circle are going to open again and if there is going to be an Equinox reading special. Well, I am pleased to let you know that Creatrix Circle will be opening her doors on March 8th until March 21st (the day after equinox and the first time since December). Thus, if you want to join a circle of like minded, amazing women, deepen into your practice and listen to the messages of your DNA that speak to you of your witch, wise woman, alchemist side – come join us! Also, there will be an Equinox reading special from March 15th until March 21st. I hope that answers your questions.

So, I have a question for you – meditation – do you do it?

We all know that meditation helps us to destress, relax and lower our blood pressure, but it also connects us to our higher self. The wise one, the teacher and the guide that is in us. It also connects us to the Divine on a clear channel that is not filled with static. Yet………….. Yet many have shared with me that “they don’t have the time”, the time to go sit on the special meditation cushion, with the candle lit and quiet reigning around them. I agree, life can be busy, but why does meditation have to happen in such a controlled environment?

With this Full Moon in Virgo that happened on Saturday, we were invited to connect to our Higher Self. Fabulous, but if we don’t have time to manicure the details to make it pleasing for us, how does that happen? At our Full Moon gathering in Creatrix Circle we explored that and an invitation for the next two weeks of a reframe was thrown down.

Virgo, is the sign associated with those routines that comprise most of our days— working, running errands, preparing meals—as well as the habits we form through repetition of those routines. For the most part, we regard these habits and routines as entirely separate from our spiritual lives. But something is being lost, I think, in our determination to avoid these humble occupations; it’s often the small, ordinary tasks that offer the most accessible route from unconscious habit to mindful ritual, as well as the most frequent opportunities for attempting the journey.

Intention, and consciousness. You can sweep the kitchen floor each evening and hardly notice doing it, beyond a vague desire to have it over with as quickly as possible. But imagine you instead give your full attention to sweeping the floor carefully and thoroughly, visualizing the debris and disorder of your mind being swept away with the bread crumbs. Feel the difference?

Why make such a big deal out of sweeping a floor? Because we don’t live for frigging ever! Do you really have five minutes every day—more than thirty hours each year!—to waste on meaningless, unconscious activity? Why not use those five minutes as a sort of practical prayer, to celebrate being alive?

Ritual is not magic; it is ordinary, everyday action performed with magical intention. It is the union of practical and spiritual.

Ritual is ordinary action carefully performed with extraordinary intention. It is how we honor the invisible with visible gestures.

During the next two weeks between the Virgo Full Moon and the next New Moon, ferret out those circumstances that bore you, irritate you, or overwhelm you. Where in your life do you encounter drudgery, the feeling you’re “just going through the motions”? Where are you most likely to be annoyed or short tempered with others? What ordinary situations make you feel so overwhelmed, you no longer know how to untangle them? These are situations that suggest unconsciousness. They are situations which, if approached with intention rather than a sense of distasteful obligation, present the greatest avenue for your spiritual growth right now. Willing to give it a try and turn Mundanity into a delicious conversation with the Divine?

Okay, I have chuntered on so let’s crack on with the reading.

So interestingly enough when I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide and teach this week, I was tickled when The Oracle of the Dragonfae were adamant. Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you:- These guides are the magickal and mystical that weave through the threads of every day, they are the Dragonfae, Gods and Goddesses who dwelt in dimensional lands….Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu, they are Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin and others – fully alive and filled with magick! They are the 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.

We all need some wisdom and magic in our worlds on a daily basis.

Ready? I invite you to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth for a few deep, long breaths. As you breathe, see in your mind’s eye that everything you do is a living prayer. And remember, all that you touch you change and that all that you change, Changes You!. Breathe this way for however long you have and when your shoulders have relaxed away from your ears and your jaw is loose pick the card or cards that resonate for you at this time.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s have a look shall we?

THE LADY ALFREDA

Know you this: that whatsoever you send out, you attract back to the power of three. Intent has energy, as do thoughts, feelings and emotions, and once released, this vibrational thought field radiates out and attracts back to you that which was sent out. This is the Law of the Threefold return, an ancient Law that the wise ones have known of for many a year, though many of the humans have refused to listen to its wisdom.

So, if you cry out an injustice, and if you are in pain, you must clear the reasons these manifestations of the Law were brought to you, were drawn to you, by you. As you think, so will you live. As you do, others will do unto you. This is the magickal law.

Do not be afraid of this truth: see it as a source of freedom. There is no blame in this karmic truth, for all that you send out will return. There is no other place for it to go. Your own underworld initiation is ending soon, and the dark will soon come to be but a place full of rest, release, wisdom and deep, ancient knowledge. The Law is the Law. And the Lady’s Law is love unto all. Follow this, and the Threefold Return will work its magicks.

Do you not know the truth? Your own underworld is not hell, but your dark time in the cauldron of your experience, your growth, your understanding, your knowledge. Now you have the knowledge of the Law, will you work with it, knowing it to be truth?

It is time to get real and own what you have previously blamed on others. This does not mean blaming yourself. Instead work on shifting your own karmic residue (Dragonfae are wonderful at this!) and understanding the connections between what you have sent out and what you have created. Look to your own intent. Make friends with your shadow and thank it for the lessons.

MELUSINE

Keys are rare in the realm of spirit; but I now provide you with a key that will open the door to who you truly are. Your true feelings about self-worth and self-love have been hidden, locked away for years, but now they will be revealed, and healed, for all time. For there is a part of you that you feel is not suitable to be shown to others, particularly in romantic relationships. You feel that this part of you is unacceptable and lacking in beauty.

However, this part of you, in being denied, is causing pain and guilt to surface within relationships where there need be none. You deserve to be loved for all of you, for the parts that are claws and thorns, for your lines and your grief, for your irritability and your sadnesses.

I Melusine, do not say to go into these parts and stay there, but know that what you consider to be unacceptable is in fact part of your beauty – and true beauty is wholeness. Come forward and be revealed, and never again mistrust or reject a portion of who you are. Embrace your scars and flaws, and see them as wonderful differences that only make you unique, and very real. Open your heart, unlock the door and step out of the enchanted chamber in which you have hidden this aspect of who you are. Love all of you, your body and soul, your mind and spirit, your ancestry and your trials and challenges.

You are perfect, whole and complete, with the unique stamp of this individual body and soul upon you. I will help you love yourself more truly and deeply than ever before. Take this key, and unlock the secret parts of you. Let them see the light, and know that you are safer for doing so than you have ever been before, in any of your numerous lifetimes.

DREAMCATCHER

I am the Dragonfae being who comes in the night, who travels through the dimensions to the doorway of the worlds. I will stand while you sleep and send you messages that you can unravel in your waking hours. All that is no longer needed will come to me, if you allow it, and I will catch it in my web between my hands, lit up by the light that travels from the solar plexus of this Universe, the being you call Sun, but which I call Bel. This Bel shines through your day and at night I reflect that light into you, cleansing what is irritating and difficult for you, but keeping all that which you need to go forward.

There is nothing to fear from the presence of we dream beings…I am yours, and in your dreams we will journey, we will explore, we will share and we will be happy together. I will help you reach your goals and if you believe, great blessing from Spirit will be yours. We are part of the same tribe and your blood is mine. This dreamcatcher is at your service.

Every night you allow me to visit, I will be your protector, your solar plexus will be opened a little further and your light will shine a little brighter in this world. I can help you see the threads of your future and to follow them. Let me into your dreams. Invite me in. This is my request of you.

Holy Hannah, gotta love the messages for this week – intention, being yourself and allowing support in your dream space. So gorgeous one, I wish for you a week filled with the signs of Spring to remind you of rebirth, change and delight. I also invite you to look upon the things that you consider “mundane or drudgery” as an opportunity to connect with something bigger than yourself. Sending you big hugs and squeezes and see you next week!

Mercury Retrograde. Imbolc is Here! Post Leo Full Moon.

Jenny Heston · 7:41 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Meditative, Mind-Blowing, Meritorious, Musical, Motivational, Mesmerising, Manifesting Monday! (How was that for alliteration?)

How are you delicious lovely? How was the amazing full moon in Leo for you? After a lovely hiatus filled with creating, writing and just cocooning, it’s good to be back.

So grab a cuppa and let’s natter, yes?

In case you weren’t aware Mercury went retrograde yesterday and will be this way until February 21st. Whoohoo! Now don’t run to the closet, let’s just gently unpack this puppy (so to speak).

Mercury will retrograde in the sign of Aquarius, which is a new energy for us. For the last few years, Mercury has mainly gone retro in water signs. However, throughout 2021 the theme is air signs. Which is interesting as Mercury is ruled by the element of air and earth, so having it retrograde in one of its ruling elements may intensify the experience. So let me share what Tanaaz has to share.

We may feel mentally foggy, confused, or lack the clarity that is needed to make decisions.

Whenever Mercury enters retrograde, especially in an air sign, we have to work a little harder to tame our monkey-mind, and be sure we are not spiraling into a loop of overthinking, or getting trapped in limiting beliefs.

Our task during this Mercury Retrograde season, and the ones to come, will be to acknowledge any mental chatter, observe what needs to be looked at, and learn how to release and let go of the rest.

A prime example was on Saturday over in Creatrix Circle we were having an incredible Imbolc Workshop, yet – for the half hour prior, everything was going to hell in a hand basket. Technology, mind sets, you name it. But come go time – all was good.

So let’s talk about Imbolc!

Okay Imbolc is today!!! Now you may be scratching your head and thinking to yourself – what the heck did she say? Imbolc (yes it does sound like it’s looks). Imbolc is a Celtic fire festival celebrating the emerging life in the world around us as well as the Goddess Brigid who represents the fire of creativity, the protective hearth fire and her firewheel all of which cleanse and purify. Imbolc is a celebration, because for those of us in the mid winter it promises us emergence, growth, renewal and hope and massive cleansing and purification. Imbolc is the halfway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox and occurs on February 1st/2nd.

Okay Jenn, what’s that got to do with me?

Well whether you realise it or not your body is connected to the seasons, to the energy underneath you, around you, above you and in you. Imbolc is one of the seasonal changes on the Wheel of the Year. However, the Wheel of the Year is more than just the seasonal changes from spring to summer to fall to winter. It also encompasses the 8 holidays, or sabbats. Each of these holidays has its own energy and its own place in the cycle that influences.

Imbolc brings us the burgeoning Spring energy that feels like a whisper or a possible promise, it’s the gestation time. Imbolc literally means – in the belly. The time to get clear on what you want to create or bring into your life. If you want to go deeper and explore some rituals and more information on Imbolc, there are some lovely ones here!

Can you feel the fertility that is approaching?

It’s pulsing everywhere, flowers are starting to push up, leaves are gently welling up into buds, seeds will need to be planted. Thus, imagine yourself like a glorious garden – what do you need to push the dross aside and stretch? To really bloom, expand and grow?

When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to support and guide this week, the glorious Faery Forest Oracle were most adamant. I was tickled as yesterday I went exploring the woods, hung out with the trees and just noticed all the little random daffs and crocus that are pushing their way up with vigour!

Now, if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it’s rude not to):-

“Let us enter the wild green world together, friend, the faery forests where the great trees speak with us, the moss soft underfoot, the light pure and gentle. The homes of the once Sacred groves of the Celts, the Saxons, and the Vikings…and to the people who were here long before we had names with which to call them to us – the faerie people. May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.” Lovely!

The crystals that woggled and waggled (like miniature labradors) are:- Bloodstone, K-2 Jasper, Chrysocolla.

You ready? I invite you to just BE and BREATHE (please don’t tell me you don’t have time, as you do). Allow any heaviness to gently drop to the ground as you breathe long, slow and deep. Let it become cosmic compost to feed and nurture something new. Keep breathing this way and think about the seeds you want to sow in the Springtime, what are they? If you need some more support or want to go deeper, there is a lovely guided visualisation for you.

When you are ready and you feel relaxed, pick the card or cards that call to you, nudge you or kick you in the arse!

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

ISA

Winter has descended upon the Faery Forest. You have ceased struggling and fighting to change what is outside of yourself. Because you have relinquished the battle, you have won the war within yourself. You are now suspending activity and being in the moment. Through this stillness and inner consciousness, you are beginning to understand so much of where you have been and where you will go – and because you are fully in the present and allowing, you can also come to a deeper, more peaceful understanding of what it is you want, value, and desire.

This is a moment of complete stillness and simply be-ing: a long moment where you are completely present. You are as still as a chrysalis, hanging seemingly static from a branch, fragile and mysterious. Like the chrysalis, you will “do” nothing – nothing at all, except become yourself. Your transformation is being worked invisibly, on the inside, and when the time is right, you will share it with the world.

In a situation where you seem to have no control, no power, you are learning the most valuable form of power there is – self mastery. You pause with dignity and strength, and simply by doing this you create the right conditions for the right change.

This time will ultimately bring great peace, wisdom, and choices that enrich your life, others lives, and the healing of the world.

THE GREEN MAN

Not so long ago, all was quiet, dark, and cold…..but something has changed, and it will manifest into your world in significant ways – through you, and all around you. This is a time of renewal, a time of new beginnings and connections for you. Your energy will be extending itself easily, and you will fall in love with the new world you are creating. This is a time for you to actively pursue what it is you wish to create in your life and to acknowledge the presence of the powerful new energies all about you.

Each day will bring these changes, and it is as if life force itself is surging through you, and every cell radiates this bright, strong, fierce new energy.

To be effective, this energy must be directed – not tamed, but given places to flow into – and thus you must choose and shape the energies you are experiencing. Nature and its energies shall pour through you and it is necessary for you to quickly begin to shape these forces in meaningful ways.

This is also a time when you no longer see sharp distinctions between what is outside of yourself and what is within – you feel linked, connected, a part of a great natural magickal whole, and this empowers you into brave, open-hearted action.

Go forward and thrive, dear one!

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 health, create more wealth, learn and study, and also offer your support and investment to worthy others. Take care of yourself, and truly make 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.

Gosh, this made me smile as it’s positively perfect for the energy at this time! So my delicious lovely, I have so many wishes for you this week. May you gift yourself time to focus on your soul’s desires and write them down! May you remember that Spring is coming and take this time to prepare (I have something amazing for you come Spring Equinox!) May you be well, May you be safe, May you be at peace, May you live with ease. Huge hugs and love! (Oh yes, and glorious mugs of tea!)

Solstice is coming! Sagittarius New Moon Eclipse, Peace and the Plants.

Jenny Heston · 11:11 am ·

Happy Moodling, Magickal, Mysterious, Magnificent, Musical, Manifesting Monday!

Solstice is coming and many of you have asked when there will be a Book of Winter Solstice (fondly referred to as BOWS). Next week at the New Moon BOWS will be available! Whoot!

I love, love, love Solstice – to me it’s that perfect balance point and the start of something new and exciting, filled with potential and possibilities and I can feel the energy of it for a few weeks before it even arrives. There is a sensation of reflection, going inwards and questioning that arrives naturally from this energy. To me this is a time where I notice those “meh” moments more and really examine my life and ask the question “Am I showing up and embodying what I am called to do?” That’s why, to me, I feel it vital to take some time out to honour this energy and work with it which in turn allows me to feel aligned. In fact I feel more balanced, connected and inspired after I have taken some time.

As the days get shorter in December, we force ourselves to get through the darkness. Now is a good season for spiritual alchemy — time to evaluate your life, and know that you’ll survive the dark times. If you’ve already put the darkness behind you, take your good fortune and share it with others. As we leave the season of late Autumn we enter the season of Winter which is brought in by Solstice (Yule). This is where we are invited to the downward spiral, the slow descent as water returns to Earth, emotion (water) coming into form (earth). The energy is descending and the light is low—this is the most inward, the most yin, part the year. Yet this is the time of year where we have the most Yang activities!

However, you can’t fool your body. When you really are tuned into your body and listen to the messages, your body often tells you things before anything or anyone else does. It wants to relax, rest, rejuvenate, replenish, create and imagine.

When my kids were little (I mean wee in age), I sent most of them to the Waldorf school. Why? Because especially in the younger years the Waldorf school encouraged creativity, curiosity, paying attention to the seasons and appreciating that we are connected to everything and that magic is everywhere. I remember a glorious book that I encountered there that depicted how as we enter winter all the little seeds, bulbs and animals would tuck up in the roots deep in the ground where Mother Earth would read them stories and sing them lullabies so they slept long and deep through the snowy, icy days until the temperatures warmed and they could stretch up towards the sun. The imagery was amazing!

Many of you have shared how the Full Moon Eclipse last Monday rocked your world! Well guess what? We have another eclipse this coming Monday on the New Moon! Are you excited lol? Now don’t panic as this Sagittarius New Moon Eclipse brings a positive, lighter, more expansive energy with it. However, we will cover that in more detail next week.

So if you remember, last week I mentioned the first light of Advent being Hope and the Stones and the Bones. This week, the second light of advent is Peace and the Plants.

The second candle of advent has been lit and in traditional religions this is the candle of Peace. So let me ask, what does Peace look like and feel like for you? Is it peace of mind? That sense of calm in you, around you, above you and below you? Feel free to share! In the Waldorf tradition the second light of Advent is the light of the plants. Roots, stem, leaf, flower, and fruit by whom we live and grow. I love the awareness this light invites, the awareness of the food we eat, the plants that heal us, the plantscape in Nature that nurtures us and soothes our souls.

Okay, with all that being said (sometimes I do chunter on!), let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to support and guide this week I was delighted to see that the White Light Oracle were super keen. Now, if these guides are new to you please let me introduce you to them.

“Let us guide you into the luminous realm of the sacred. The sacred is your heart treasure. It is that which brings light into your life. The sacred is precious to you. It matters enough that you are willing to devote yourself to it – even when that requires courage, sacrifice and growth. The sacred generates inner warmth. It brings you joy. The sacred is a healing mirror that shows you the truth of your experience, which can include a compassionate reflection of your own suffering. It shows you how to heal. It inspires and protects you. What is sacred for your heart is unique to you. Yet, for every heart, the sacred is an experience of sublime love and deep meaning. The sacred helps us remember who we are and shows us how to manifest our inner purpose.”

What delicious guides for exploring Peace and Solstice. The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are:- Rhodonite, Moonstone and Rhyolite. Yummers!

Okay gorgeous one, settle into your body, breathe yourself back. As you gently slow down your breathing I invite you to bring up the sensation of Peace (whatever that means to you) and allow it to swirl in your mind’s eye. If you need a bit more support with Peace there’s a lovely little guided visualisation for you. Then, when you’re ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to go see?

ISHTAR’S LION GATE 888

Your heart has a heightened connection with the higher realms of consciousness and light. A blessing, empowerment and positive omen shall enter your world. Doors will open for you. Abundance and prosperity are headed your way. Take care of your heart. Ask for spiritual assistance, and it shall be granted. Something negative is going to transform into something very positive.

Ishtar is the Queen of the Night, a dark goddess of loss and letting go, but also a priestess of light, who holds the keys to renewal from suffering. She is relentless in her pursuit of the path to true inner freedom. She willingly surrenders her attachments and her identities, even separating herself temporarily from her loved ones, with such boldness and confidence that she crosses into realms where others dare not go. She experiences vulnerability, and in that state discovers deep truth.

Ishatar is the capacity of the soul to integrate our experiences. After reaching the greatest depths of suffering, she emerges and is reinstated upon her rightful throne with even greater wisdom, spiritual power and compassion. She is a guardian and symbol of resurrection. You shall rise again. Those who have felt as though their identity or any other marker of security has been torn away from them are her children. They will find their way back to peace and prosperity under her auspices. If you have been suffering, an end of the struggle is imminent.

She brings a message of a breakthrough and healing, of a significant lightening up of your life and the end of a deeply challenging cycle in your life. There is a special divine dispensation augured by Ishtar’s Lion Gate 888.

Where hope has been difficult to find, or all seems lost, the light shall return and beautiful blessings are destined to unfold in your life.

AIH SOPH AUR

A way through the struggle has already been created for you, and you are being led onto that path. Your authentic soul path may include recognition and acclaim, notable success and admiration. Be grateful, but do not be dazzled or distracted by such experiences. Focus on what connects you to your heart and grounds you in the simplicity of spiritual truth, which is the practice of love, kindness and peace. This will allow for successful progress in the material world without disturbing the sanctity of your soul.

In the mysticism of the Kabbalah, Ain Soph Aur is the first and truest light. It emerges from the absolute, which is pure emptiness, beyond all characteristics, phenomena and form. The capacity to create something from apparently nothing is one of the definitions of magic. Ain Soph Aur is the Universe pulling rabbits out of hats on a cosmic scale. Because the spiritual light emerges from the spaciousness of infinite potentiality, it is imbued with endless creativity, resourcefulness and spontaneous responsiveness. Whatever is needed is made manifest, provided to the receptive heart and will benefit all beings.

Receptivity is the key to unlocking this white light magic of the Spirit. When we are open to it, surrendered to its wisdom and willing to place that wisdom above our own opinions, we are capable of receiving and benefiting from it. If we are trying to dictate its course, to contrive and control it to meet our needs as we think they should be met, then we are not being receptive. The path of control and dominance is regressive. It is not sacred magic and it is not of the Spirit.

Open your heart to connect with the higher creative and healing intelligence of the light. No matter how much our wounded minds or broken hearts may believe a situation cannot be healed, Ain Soph Aur is always there. It reminds us that, whether we can see it or not, there is a spiritual path through all troubles. That path can be so beautiful we will become profoundly grateful for the struggle which caused us to grow (even if we never wish to repeat the experience).

As you open yourself to what is – even the unexpectedly difficult twists of fate – you will become ever closer to the radiant grace and luminous clarity, which is reassuring you, healing you, guiding you and loving you.

ALPHA OF ALCYONE

A positive twist of fate and a windfall of good fortune are destined for you. Brightness and hope will alleviate negativity and give you the strength to find your way through a time of adversity or challenge. Finally, you will experience peace, love and deep connection with your true self and the Universe. Good things are on their way to you.

The brightest star in the Pleiades star system, Alcone, holds the frequency of love, the sacred feminine healing power of compassion and the grace of mercy. She is the goddess of grace and mercy, especially in the face of heart-wrenching loss. She reassures us that we will find a way through and that there is comfort for us when we need it, even if further work needs to be done before we can be fully released into a new era of happiness.

Alpha brain waves are deep, calming waves. They are what we experience when daydreaming or slipping into peaceful relaxation or meditation. In the alpha state, imagination and intuition are heightened, as such these brain waves are a gateway into the subconscious mind. If we are in stimulation overload, alpha blocking can occur. Learning to consciously switch off and relax by dropping into the 8Hz to 12Hz range helps us melt away stress and tune in to our intuition, without becoming too floaty and unfocused.

Alcyone supports us in relaxing and reconnecting to optimism, even during tough times. In such a state, we will realise that difficulties will eventually come to an end and we will be provided for. A new reality of happiness is available to us even now, as we steadily make our way to the light of a happy new start.

Woosah! How deliciously lovely. Thus glorious bean I wish for you a week of Peace and Hope with an appreciation for the bones and stones and a love for the plants that nourish and heal you. The date for Creatrix Circle door opening has been picked and it will be just after the New Moon, so make sure you’re on the waiting list to be kept up to date.

Blessings, Hugs and Squeezes! See you next week.

Gemini Full Moon Eclipse, Mourning Moon, Hope, Stones and Bones.

Jenny Heston · 12:12 am ·

Happy, Happy, Happy Marvelous, Manifesting, Magnificent, Magickal, Miraculous, Mellow, Magnanimous Monday!

Okay, we have tons to explore this week: Gemini Full Moon Eclipse, Hope, Stones and Bones, Creatrix Circle doors will soon be opening and all sorts of other things! Phew! So grab a cuppa, get cosy and let’s away!

So let me ask, how has your sleep been? I have heard from many of you that you’re either having supremely vivid and rather odd dreams, or not sleeping well. No surprise! Eclipse energy magnifies the energy of the Full Moon and with this moon also called the Mourning Moon there are a lot of emotions and old beliefs burbling to the surface to be released and yes, some of it is grief. Grief pertaining to the changes that are happening in your world and globally, grief of the shorter days, grief about many things.

This moon is also about losing the warmth and sun to the coming dark months. It is a time to finish loose ends and relax. It is a time to count our blessings and be thankful. A time of washing away the baggage of the past and letting it go. Then focus on the joys of the future. During the Mourning Moon phase, you’re being invited to say goodbye to bad habits and toxic relationships, and get a fresh start for the new year.

So then add to it that Eclipse time amplifies the energy of the Moon, and brings to light those subconscious niggles. Even as the longest nights approach, this full moon encourages us to bring our thoughts, feelings, and past out of the darkness — before we bid them farewell.

In Creatrix Circle we had our first ever Full Moon Gathering yesterday and wowzer, it is amazing. Ritual, sharing, exploring and really being willing to dig deep. I was in awe of the amazing women there.

So how are you going to create a ritual for yourself to release whatever needs to leave? How are you going to honour that leaving?

Because the delicious piece here is that as you step into the darkness to release (with yesterday being the first candle of Advent), there is a place for Hope.

Now I will be honest, the word “Hope” has never been one of my favourite words as I find it is used far too much i.e. – I hope the kids do their chores, I hope I win the lottery, I hope the cat doesn’t cough a hairball on the clean laundry………. So the word Hope always felt a bit banal to me, thus, I went exploring and reading and have to say I really like this definition, it is one I can get behind:-

“Hope is a feeling of trust, a security, and a reason to keep going. It is a passionate desire of our heart. It is a feeling of expectation and a longing for a certain thing to happen.” – Verity Russell

So let me ask – What do you Hope for?

But it also reminded me that most of my kids went to Waldorf for their wee years and in Waldorf education, each week of Advent is assigned a “theme” of sorts and is a time for reflection and gratitude towards the different realms of our earth: stones & minerals; plants; animal kingdom; and humankind.

So over the weekend, I gathered ivy and cedar and made a wreath that sits on my dining room table with the candles of advent, and as I lit the first one I breathed in Hope, and also honoured the stones and the bones by decorating around that candle with seashells, crystals and beach stones. As the first verse says – The first light of Advent is the light of stone–. Light that lives in crystals, seashells, and bones.

Doing this reminds me we are all connected and we have lots to be grateful for (even on those dark days).

Remember Dark and Light go hand in hand.

So before we crack on with the reading, yes the doors to Creatrix Circle will open briefly in about a week or so for 7 days only, thus, if you want to find out when, it’s really easy to hop on the waiting list.

Okay, I have chuntered on for quite a while now (if you’ve managed to read this far), so let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the cards and was just about to ask who wanted to guide this week I was gobsmacked as this glorious deck threw themselves off the shelf and spilled out all over the floor. So please let me introduce you to your gorgeous guides for this week, The Oracle of Shadows and Light.

If you have never met them before, or worked with them:- Wisdom for Misfits, Mystics, Seekers, and Wanderers.Bittersweet..Unheard..Unconventional…Rebellious…Cheeky…

Whimsical…Invisible. They’re not the words you often hear associated with the spiritual world, are they? Nevertheless, some of the most spiritual beings who have ever lived are those who have been most at odds with what we call the mainstream. They do not fit in. They have had moments of despair. And they know being truthful, and being real, is one of the greatest strengths and spiritual paths of all! They 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! How’s that for a warm welcome?

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to join in are Lotus Jasper – a glorious crystal for bringing peace and healing and helps unify all aspects of your life. Aqua Aura – for those who want to increase their psychic skills and awareness. Serpentine – an earthing stone and one that opens up new pathways for Kundalini energy. And last but not least Selenite to cleanse and amplify.

Thus with the thought of releasing and filling that space with Hope, acknowledging your connection to the stones and the bones I invite you to close your eyes down and just breathe. For those of you who want to go deeper there is a lovely brief guided visualisation for you to explore Hope. Just breathe, trust and allow this all to swirl. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug.

Did you remember to pick?

Come on then sweetie, let’s go have a look!

ANGEL DE LOS MUERTOS

I bring you a message from a loved one: one whose spirit seems to have already departed, but whose physical presence lingers on for now . I as you now to acknowledge your loved ones who are resting, in spirit, or creating new selves for their souls. You may soon be about to meet a beloved in a new form: I ask you to stay open minded about the form in which the souls can come, and I ask you to be open to the message from the loved ancestors. For they have something to tell you, and it will come to you soon, in a vision, or a dream, or a message during a daydream that will bring such sweet tangible proof of what some people still call life after death.

There is no death. There’s only life and resting and change. Be ready to be comforted and to learn more of the world beyond this world, which is always with you, but is not always believed in, or trusted, even when we send messages to you, as clear as a flag in the sky.

You are not to delay activating this lifetime’s purpose. The message is not just from those who have passed, but of the truth that you can activate your new life now, whilst alive. It is no longer necessary to pass, to re-create the life contract and purpose you have. Do not wish to leave in order to start anew: believe that this life is a constant process of creation and that you are at a point where you can end a pattern, without ending this life. Energy is changing, and death is no longer the greatest reshaper. She comes to visit you now so the fear of mortality passes and so that you understand you can begin to rebirth yourself into a new life, now.

FAIRY OF THE GREEN WORLD

This little green faery signifies and embodies the life force of the green world. She is seen tending to plants that are drooping, too moist, or too dry – she is like a nurse or healer, assigned to the plant realm, great forests and small personal gardens alike. She is joyful every time someone gives energy to this realm – every little bit helps nurture the plants, which are very tired: fewer and fewer plants and trees and forests are expected to provide more and more life-giving oxygen for animals, elements, and we humans! Sometimes she becomes overwhelmed by all we humans have done to the green world – so she may be about to ask for your help. When you give her your help, blessings are returned to you threefold.

The green world is changing, and I am asking for your help. The world needs you to tend the green things in it in some way right now – and it is your time to make a contribution. Time to plant a garden, assist another with theirs, or share some food, flowers, or herbs from your own. Develop your connection to solar energy, find your own water source, and depend less on supermarkets, ATMs and electricity.

Learn to live with her, the soul of the green world. By providing the world with this beautiful example, you are nourishing and nurturing our mother, the Earth, who feels so tired some days! Find a forest, or a grove of trees, or a fairy ring of mushrooms – somewhere that speaks to your soul – and sit with her a while. When she breathes her messages through the leaves and whispers words of wisdom into your ears, you will know the right place and time to devote this sacred donation of time and energy. I thank you in advance. The faeries will be sure to help you in return!

It is a time for growth, for abundance, for the earth element to find its way true and strong in your beautiful life! Join with the natural energies of the planet – and the galaxy!

LANTERN FAIRY

This sweet fairy is showing you a way through a barrier you have reached in your life. This may be in any area of your life – but it does feel that you have come up against a very solid obstacle. This gentle fairy, with her bright lantern, can take you to a place in this wall that has already come down, so you can move through this obstacle without force or fear. Your only requirement is to trust this fairy and then to take down several bricks after you have moved through so the wall between this world and the next, your love and your life, becomes slowly less and less solid. The wall is coming down: this is the fairy’s role, to help you move beyond the wall. Trust her. She will guide you.

Sometimes, people say you should be cautious about where information is coming from. And that is indeed true. I am simply holding up the lantern I carry and gently letting you see the likely outcome of the decisions you are making and offering a clear solution to the problem at hand. Something has come to an end. A true end, and you have, as they say, hit the wall. You could try digging under it, or climbing over it, or you could try taking down the wall brick by brick. But if you follow me, I can show you a place where the wall has already come down, and where you can move through this obstacle without pain. My guidance is safe, clear, and gentle. I am here to clear the way and light the path. It is up to you whether you make it harder than it needs to be.

Old patterns are being removed, little by little, but will need your trust. Old shielding against certain energies needs to be replaced and reworked, as it is no longer in line with what you wish for and in fact may be proving to be a barrier, which is keeping you isolated instead of protected. Trust where the light leads you – go where you can feel true love, kindness, and freedom. Avoid all that comes from anger, hatred, judgement, blame and ridicule.

Well that was quite delicious if I do say so myself! I love how this deck reflects shadow and brings it into the light. I invite you to take some time on today (or in the next few days) and do some releasing. And then ask yourself what you hope for. And if you want to hop on the waiting list for Creatrix Circle , please do. Have a fantabulous week, imagine moon flowers opening around you, and keep warm and cosy! Also, thank you for all your wonderful messages and shares. I love them! See you next week.

Energy Shift, Keep Going………No Matter What, and give Thanks!

Jenny Heston · 11:11 pm ·

Happy Magnetic, Magickal, Miraculous, Musical, Majestic, Misty, Manifesting Monday!

How are you delicious one? Did you mark the first full moon of this month (October 1st)? At about 8 that night everything in me was screaming to go out to the moon, having just moved I wasn’t too sure where I wanted to go. So I grabbed Danu, a candle, some smudge, tucked a few crystals in the bra (which immediately fell down to my ankles so ended up in a pocket) and followed the trail that I had carved through the bushes the first day I got here. This trail connects to another trail that leads one through Garry Oak woods and up to a rocky outcrop area called Peacock Hill.

As I clambered up the rocks to the top I was gobsmacked to see people there, and there were even doggos (Danu was tickled)! All of these lovely beings had come for the full moon, and more arrived over the next while. What made it even more special was everyone had brought a wee little candle, found their own rocky outcrop, smiled gently at each other and then focused on their own experience. It was quite delicious to say the least! Then as the moon rose higher in the sky a glorious male voice (who could easily be in a Welsh choir) sang out a glorious song that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Maybe this new neighbourhood is going to be quite special!

So my darlings, October is here and I so love this month as Samhain/Halloween is approaching, autumn is ramping up her glorious colours, the veil is thinning and it’s the time to work with ancestral energy – there is such a shift in the air. With all that being said the energy has changed.

Do you remember the energy for September was Flexibility and Trust? Which I found personally played out for me every minute of every day. Well this month the energy is all about Keep Going…..No Matter What! Now don’t let the throw you into a tizz wazz, let’s let Lena explain it.

“This month includes a continuation of intense emotional ups and downs, disappointments, irritations, anger, disbelief, unexpected challenges, loss, roadblocks and reactions, poor communication, deep grief, confusion, outrage and despair. Any one of these is enough to take us down and immobilize us from taking proactive steps forward towards something positive and constructive. Any one of these can tempt us to give up and give in to being the ultimate victims of the times, our lives and everything that seems to be in the way of our joy, happiness, clarity, progress and satisfaction.

The theme is “Keep Going, No Matter What” because that is exactly what we all need to do.

It is the mind that is most frustrated and resistant because it does not have the “information” about the future and therefore cannot control the outcome of anything. Last month’s themes of “Flexibility and Trust” were in preparation for this month by encouraging the mind to let go of all the expectations, attachments and timing that it is so fond of being in control of. No amount of hypervigilance will help, so you might as well just give it up to spirit and keep putting one foot in front of the other in the direction that your heart and intuition are taking you.

Even as we are inching along in our movement towards getting to a better place personally and globally, we are far from out of the woods. This month has some very big opportunities for a final clean out of old emotional debris, as well as an intense reboot and reset of priorities and intentions. Challenges can surface overnight and the more flexible and accepting you can remain, the faster the solutions will appear. You could even be totally amazed at the rapid fluctuations from one to the other. There is a fine line between terror and excitement. The idea is to keep moving forward towards excitement at the possibilities instead of getting stuck in the terror of negative possibilities.

One of the big issues this month is the processing of grief and loss. Anything can trigger this, and if you do get triggered through something you feel is insignificant, see it as the trigger that ripped the scab off the wound so you can finally clean and heal this deeper wound for good. This could involve ancestral patterns, past lives, your personal past as well as the collective collection of karmic trauma, misery, injustice, and deep wounding of both the masculine and the feminine. We need to remember in these times of intensity, that spirit never hands us more than we can handle.”

Thus, with that energy in play and Canadian Thanksgiving coming up this weekend – with all that you have felt, experienced, witnessed in the last 7 months what are you thankful for? It is often easier (or a default) to notice what isn’t right for you, kind of like noticing the one dot of ink that is on a sheet of white paper. But open your heart, your eyes, your mind. What are you thankful for? Breathe that in. Focus on those things, as it helps attract more of those delicious nubbins into your life.

Okay, I have chuntered on for long enough, let’s crack on with the reading. The glorious guides that chose to show and shine this week are the amazing ones of White Light Oracle. Now, if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it’s terribly rude not to).

Let us guide you into the luminous realm of the sacred. The sacred is your heart treasure. It is that which brings light into your life. The sacred is precious to you. It matters enough that you are willing to devote yourself to it – even when that requires courage, sacrifice and growth. The sacred generates inner warmth. It brings you joy. The sacred is a healing mirror that shows you the truth of your experience, which can include a compassionate reflection of your own suffering. It shows you how to heal. It inspires and protects you. What is sacred for your heart is unique to you. Yet, for every heart, the sacred is an experience of sublime love and deep meaning. The sacred helps us remember who we are and shows us how to manifest our inner purpose.

I love this deck and everytime I work with the delicious guides it reminds me of my sister as she loves wolves!

We also have supreme crystals and gorgeous flowers to add their energy (and if you have worked with Bach flower essences you will know how powerful they can be.)

Okay sweetie, let’s get settled and just BE for a moment, yes? As we move with the energy of this month I invite you to invite in ancestral energy, healing energy, guiding energy. Just breathe sweetie and allow the image of support to flood up into your mind’s eye. If you need more help with this there’s a lovely guided visualisation for you just below. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Come take a look.

DVARA PATRA

Out of confusion, a clear and progressive pathway is opening up for you. It is an auspicious time to give generously of yourself to others, enriching the quality of your connections, expressing spiritual blessings of goodwill and encouragement from your heart. A power blessing is entering your world. A prayer is now being answered in a beautiful way. Spirit gives freely and generously of all good things, and the task of humanity is to learn how to receive. The key to receiving is an open, surrendered, generous and trusting heart.

The Holy Grail is the sacred chalice. It is a powerful, iving, regenerative and deeply healing symbol of hope and blessing. It will interact with each soul in its own way. For your soul, that may involve a recognition that the light is always seeking you, wanting to fill and heal and bless and protect you, to initiate you into awareness of the realms of light, beauty and divine presence.

It may remind your heart to receive, that you are capable of being a channel for goodness, grace, abundance and pure light. It may be recognised as a sign of a future blessings, of something truly desired finally coming to pass.

Dvara is Sanskrit for a pathway, an opening or portal, a doorway or even a means or method. Dvrara Patra indicates the way for your deepest fulfilment is via the receptive faculty of the sacred feminine. The feminine way is organic, creative, responsive, spontaneous and effective. It is not constrained by our human perceptions of what is or is not possible.

This in turn means you will not necessarily understand how a situation will work out. Yet, you will feel inner guidance to proceed in a particular way. Your inner guidance will often seem to disregard the otherwise convincing realities of the outer world. That inner wisdom has allegiance to a deeper truth than appearances can convey. As you invert your priorities from ego to soul, you’ll invert your locus of orientation from head to heart, from other to inner reality. You will trust what your heart knows, whether or not it makes sense to your logical mind – or to anyone elseès, for that matter. This foretells a happy, heartfelt manifestation, a true blessing coming to life.

SPIRIT OWL of 852Hz

Recalibration to a higher order of divine purpose is in progress. It is not always a smooth ride, but it is safe to be fearless as you gently hold space for new ways of thinking, living and seeing to emerge. You are encouraged to let go of opinions and belief systems that cannot support you in higher frequency states. You shall soon recognise a truth that cuts through confusion and frees you to proceed with love, peace and higher understanding.

Spirit Owl is the wisdom bearer, the one who perceives the intended meaning underlying words and the truth behind appearances. Even in darkness, Spirit Owl senses subtle movements with accuracy. The heightened senses of Spirit Owl are akin to the supernatural perception of the higher self. Your higher self sees through illusion and with compassion. It astutely recognises the agendas of the ego and tunes into the empowering energies of the Universe to find a constructive way to express its loving purpose.

Spirit Owl enhances your connection to your higher self, guiding you beneath the compelling nature of appearances, where a vastly different and spiritually empowering perspective is available to you. From such heightened awareness, you can accurately intuit the complex drives at work in yourself and others.

852Hz is the frequency of higher-self connection, which favours the clearing of the mind and an awakening of genuine insight and higher understanding. This frequency opens one to perceive light and communicate with the realms of higher light beings. With such clarity of mind, it is easy to recognise lower level beings who do not operate from unconditional love and pure wisdom. There is no attraction to such beings, but a compassionate attitude toward them.

When we are thirsty, we do not reach for an empty glass, we reach for one that is full. Seek nourishment that can truly offer what you need. There is no sense in seeking something another cannot provide you because of their spiritual limitations.

Your mind is tuning in to something true. It augurs clear seeing and higher understanding. You will be freed from a struggle and set on a creative, empowering and affective path of manifestation. This is a blessing of creative psychological fire. Trust that the more you let go the more you will experience renewal and stunning spiritual rebirth. The past is truly over and a new era is dawning.

QUEEN OF THE NAGAS

A sacred task exists for you to fulfil. It is to be found through connection to your heart. Be open only to those most authentic teachings which prove helpful to your continued spiritual progress and personal freedom. Cleansing your body, mind, heart and soul will be of particular benefit at this time. Powerful, subtle energies are helping ensure your success. Believe that many positive synchronicities and unexpected allies will rally to support you.

The mysterious beings known as Nagas are recognised in spiritual traditions across India, Nepal and Tibet, as well as in other shamanic and cultural traditions. The Naga Queen is an emanation of an enlightened higher being. The eastern goddess of compassion Kuan Yin, is said to assume the form of a benevolent Naga to help beings in need of her protection. Enlightened Naga beings are very helpful to humans, protecting secret wisdoms and offering powerful teachings to those who are wise and committed enough to use them for the greater good.

The Queen has two messages for you. The first is that, as you maintain your integrity and take your emotional healing journey, you are placing yourself within a powerful field of spiritual protection. Continue to tend to your inner healing and ask for spiritual protection each day from higher beings you love. As you continue with such practices, a palpable field of positive energy accumulates around you, minimising negative influences. On off days, this field buffers you from your own mind or factors outside of your control, such as astrological influences or other people’s ego-driven actions.

The second message is that something of great value is at work in your world. Spirit works with tremendous subtlety, even when it is accomplishing a masterful stroke of luminous inspiration and powerful grace. The Divine can assume whatever form will benefit the spiritual seeker to ensure their continued progress, facilitating the right things at the right time.

There is no need to impose a limit on the limitless resourcefulness and creative generosity of the Divine at play in your affairs. All you need to do is invite it in and trust.

Well that was quite delicious! So gorgeous one, I hope you take time to celebrate the season whether it is Spring for you or Autumn. Give massive thanks for all the good in your life and play! Play ignites the heart, the soul, your creativity and just feels frigging amazing. If you are on the weekly reading list, I will see you in a few weeks. If you are in Creatrix Circle, I will see you next week. Big Blessings and massive hugs.

Guided visualisation

So, I have a question for you – meditation – do you do it?

We may feel mentally foggy, confused, or lack the clarity that is needed to make decisions.
