Guided visualisation

Love and Fear. Equinox bundles are Here!

Happy Magickal, Manic, Marvellous, Melding, Meaningful, Mindful March Monday! How are you gorgeous one? As we are all aware, this has been a crazy, panic loaded week for a lot of people. I mean seriously, just turn on the news and it’s enough to make you want to curl up in bed with 30 books!

Talk about a huge portion of the population going down the rabbit hole! Which to be honest, I most certainly did on Thursday. Why? I have spent weeks creating two glorious Equinox bundles for you (one for the Northern Hemisphere and one for the Southern) that help you align, flow, delight, embrace the sacred, ignite desires and step into all your are. As Equinox is this Thursday the 19th in the Northern Hemisphere, and on the 20th in the Southern.

Wednesday night I looked at these gorgeous creations, each over 30+ pages long, packed with deliciousness and an amazing guided visualisation, smiled in glee and went and had a cuppa. When I came back they were gone! The laptop had crashed and I hadn’t saved them to Dropbox! WTF!

Thursday morning after not sleeping I dragged my sorry arse out of bed and thought “fuck it” I will go work at the local grocery store, and as I popped the kettle on I inadvertently turned on the news and went even more into that energy and got dragged down into the sink hole of fear. Should I rush out to buy 40 packs of toilet paper? Then the winds picked up to 90km an hour and it felt like the apocalypse was here!

What to do? Go for a walk and swear at every tree, which I did. Go buy cheesy bunny pasta and gobble it all up, which I did. And during all this I reminded myself that I live, eat, breathe and love what was in those bundles, on a day to day basis. I walk my talk. So I came home, sat my arse down and with an iPad wrote, and wrote, and wrote. 40 hours later Ostara and Mabon bundles are even better than before!

But why did I bother, why not buy into the fear and the energy of failure? Because for me to create something that delights, inspires, that is full of alchemy and manifestation, nourishes, heals, guides and supports ALL of us to embrace a sparkling life, our strengths, our magickal gifts, our soul, to live purposefully and with ease is my purpose! I’m pretty clear about that. I even did FB live on Friday (which you know I’m not a huge fan of) as to me even more so now, this was important.

In my world I show up and shine my light as far as the Divine see’s fit! And to be blunt, I love, love, love what I do.

So this got me to thinking about Love and Fear and I remembered A Course in Miracles talking to this point. You can’t have Love and Fear inhabit the same space. Read that again. As the course says: “Every thought you think, word you speak, and action you take proceeds from either your true nature or a distorted illusion. Innocence and guilt, peace and upset, healing and illness all spring from that one fundamental choice.

At various times during the day, especially if you become upset or you face a challenging situation or decision, ask yourself, ‘What is the voice of fear or guilt saying to me now?’. Clearly identify the words and energy of the critical voice. Then ask, ‘What would the voice of love, kindness and encouragement say to me by contrast?’. When you recognise the energetic difference between the harsh demanding voice and the gentle releasing voice, you will clearly see what to do and how to live.”

So what I’m saying is that at this time in space, and with all that is happening. It is VITAL that we be kind and loving with ourselves and with others! I have gone into grocery stores where the energy is one of panic and frenetic “mine, mine” – for goodness sakes I watched a woman buy 25 squash this morning! Why? Because she had to know that SHE was okay. But what about her neighbour? What about the elderly gentleman living down the street from you that smiles when you walk by? What about the young mumma with 3 wee ones under 6? This is a time to connect! To connect to source, earth, yourself and to others. To beam love and light! Pick up the phone, write a letter, make some soup, smile at someone – be kind, beam love and trust.

Do you remember an old kids cartoon called the Care Bears? They each had a symbol on their chubby bellies; love, friendship, fearless, kindness etc. And when they met a challenging situation or someone who was struggling they used to say “Care Bears Unite” and they would beam all that energy towards the other.

We need to be Care Bears. Look in the eyes of the person who is buying 40 cans of shitty soup and smile, show them they are seen. Share what you have. Be kind. Remember, Love and Fear can not inhabit the same space. Which one would you rather be breathing in hourly? We are all in the delicious, crazy journey of life together – reach your hand out to offer help or to ask for help. Both will be there.

Okay, now I gently step off my soap box.

When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to share this week I nearly cried. What perfect guides for this time. Blessed Be. Please let me introduce you to Blessed Be as these guides may be new to you. “May these cards and guides offer you ways to enter into deeper appreciation of your life and its manifold blessings. May you have hope, understanding and kindness. And most of all, may you know deep within your soul, that thou art blessed.”

Oh my gosh, positively perfect.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are Rose Quartz – is the stone of universal love. It restores trust and harmony in relationships, encouraging unconditional love. Rose Quartz purifies and opens the heart at all levels to promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace. Amethyst – is a powerful and protective stone. It guards against psychic attack, transmuting the energy into love and protecting the wearer from all types of harm, including geopathic or electromagnetic stress and ill wishes from others. Amethyst is a natural tranquiliser. And last but not least Carnelian – restores vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity. It gives courage, promotes positive life choices, dispels apathy and motivates for success. Carnelian is useful for overcoming abuse of any kind. It helps in trusting yourself and your perceptions.

And the petals came from my “Unicorn” rose that the ocean gifted me with the other day!

So let’s settle in shall we? I invite you to gently come back into your body and into the present moment. Just here, just now. 10 minutes ago is gone, 10 minutes to come hasn’t happened. Just breathe and be here. Let your breathing gently slow and roll your shoulders up and back to release the tension there. And in your minds eye I invite you to see a golden orb of light, this is the light of Blessing, just for you. Breathe that in and smile.

If you want more support I have a delicious guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

A BLESSING ON YOUR DAY

A blessing to bring awareness, to shape and set the energy of the day, and to frame it with light and the possibilities of healing, adventure and gratitude.

May your soul feel called by the song of the day. May this day be gentle and good, clear and sure, filled with grace and gentle reminders of your own divinity. May the people you meet this day show generosity of spirit, be hospitable and welcoming, and open and candid in all their dealings.

May the sky be filled with blue and white, may the green beneath your feet be solid and soft to walk upon. May the rain fall soft and nourishing, and trees whisper to you the secrets that you need to know.

My any challenges you encounter find an answering strength and courage within you, and when you come to your rest this night, may you remember the many blessings this day held, and account for them with the Gods, and be thankful for each of them, no matter how small.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING FOR PEACE OF MIND

A blessing to help soothe the mind at storm with itself, and bring about calm and peace once again.

When you awaken, and trouble is sitting there, with you, right on your shoulder, speaking to you of all you must fret and be fearful of, let this blessing come to you, and be felt truly in your mind, where the turbulence has reigned for too long now.

Let the quiet of the natural day steal in, let the soft call of your spirit whisper to you that you have worried too long, and that it is time to set down your burden and let the angels and spirit beings deal with what cannot be unravelled by the labyrinth of thought.

Let it go, and let it be, for it is not for you to do what others will not, cannot, or remain ignorant of. It is for you now, to care for you. Let peace, that quiet blessing, softly take up residence in your mind, and speak calming words to you, soothing every objection your mind at war with the world creates.

Let the nurturing of the Mother, the planet herself, who loves you so and cares so much for you, take hold, and take root within your mind. Let yourself do only what must be done this day, and be very kind and very gentle all this time with yourself.

Speak softly, remove yourself from anything that provokes the disquiet unnecessarily, and calm yourself through the taking of moments to soothe yourself. Let your mind release, one by one, those terrible thoughts that have tortured you. Let your body relax, and move, and in the movement free yourself from the stress and tension. Let the idea of being at war with the world, isolated and alone, go, and for a time, seek out only those who show kindness and sensitivity to you.

Be patient with yourself, and in this patience, let the blessing of deep peace be yours.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING OF FORGIVENESS

A blessing to be able to be free of the burden of grudges and vengeance, a prayer to help you open up to the blessing that is forgiveness.

Forgiveness is a tricky beast – and yes, for all it is a gentle word, it is a great beast, forgiveness. For when we seek to forgive, we must wrestle with the wrongdoing that lies at the heart of our resistance to let go of the pain we are holding on to. When we need to forgive, it is often that we are too raw, too far away from justice to be able to even touch the sides of the balm of forgiveness.

Yet staying angry for long periods of time can develop into a compacted bitterness, and bitterness is a gall to all who wish to live freely. It is a struggle to forgive, when we are in the midst of the fallout of another person’s actions. There is a great deal of victim-blaming within our cultures, but in older times, in the Celtic world, there was restorative justice and it would have gone a long way to forgiveness.

May the blessing of this self-forgiveness be bestowed upon you now, dear friend. Know you will gently untangle the doubt and the recriminations that have settled like thorns about your heart, and invaded your mind’s peace. And as you begin to forgive yourself, you will also begin to find forgiveness for the injustices you have endured. For in that forgiveness, and acceptance, and ability to know clearly that wrongdoing was done, you will begin to return to yourself.

You will be wiser, yet unpoisoned. Slowly, may the pain and the bitter buds wither, and in their place may you be reborn – honestly able to remember, wiser, in order to prevent this event taking place again, and able to recall, without pain. And the justice that the Universe will deliver to you will be restorative – bringing back to you threefold what was taken by another. May you be free of the pain, at last.

Let the anger burn down into coals from which you, phoenix-like, can arise. And know you have forgiven – forgiven the other for their dark gift. Forgiven life.

And most of all, delivered the pure medicine of forgiveness to yourself.

BLESSED BE

Wowzer, what glorious Blessings for these interesting times! This is where you can gift yourself the Equinox bundle to support, inspire and nourish you. My wish for you this week is one of connection, love, health and ease. Open arms, Open eyes, Open Heart.

Remember it’s always your choice between Love and Fear. Please remember to smile, look into the eyes of the person opposite you and beam your belly light of love and strength everywhere you go, and let others reflect it back to you. Huge hugs and love.

BLESSED BE.

March is Here, Spring Equinox is coming, White Rabbits, and it’s a time for Discernment – Wowzer!

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy, Happy Magickal, Marvelous, Magnificent, Merry, Manifesting March Monday! Whoot! Whoot! March is here and I am thrilled (trust me if you could see the happy dance I am doing you would laugh your soxs off).

Why am I so pumped about March – because Spring Equinox is almost here!!! Now you may be shaking your head and thinking – yeah, so what Jenn. Oh little one, Spring Equinox is a huge energetic time as it’s the time of Birth. The Birth of ideas, goals, desires and dreams – it is positively delicious and in honour of this time since Yule I have been working on two glorious offerings for you to really make this year so deliciously different, powerful, full of glorious magick and manifestation and really supporting and empowering you. But more on that soon. If you want to be kept up to date on what is transpiring and all the changes that are coming from this end do make sure you are part of our glorious email community.

On Saturday I really felt I needed a “reset” energetically, mentally, physically and spiritually so I grabbed a glorious friend and we went and hiked, forest bathed and explored a glorious new beach, waterfalls and had a wicnic! Ahhhh, I could feel the tendrils of “shoulds” melt away amidst the old moss covered trees, the “I can’t energy” drop into the moss, and any “judgements of self or others” get washed down the waterfall and offered to the sea. By the time I got home I was refreshed, rejuvenated, reset and replenished and also physically bagged so I tucked myself up in bed earlyish with a glorious witchy book.

Thus, yesterday morning the minute my eyes opened at 6am I started hollering White Rabbits! The poor dog bolted up and looked at me with confusion lol. However, I have been saying White Rabbits on the first of March ever since I was wee, but why, where did it come from? When I first asked that question of myself, my response was, because my Great Aunties told me to!

However, I did a little digging as to where the saying comes from and actually saying White Rabbits on the first of March (and apparently for most months) brings great luck. In fact, “White rabbits, white rabbits’ was written in the ‘Notes and Queries’ book from 1909.The word must be spoken aloud, and be the first word said in the month to bring great luck. It also was a common belief among RAF bomber aircrew during WW2 that saying “white rabbits” the very first thing upon waking would protect oneself.” Don’t you just love finding out where traditions have come from? I do.

With March coming in like a lamb (at least it certainly did here) the Energy has shifted. If you remember in January the shamanic energetic theme was IF NOT NOW, WHEN? February, the was MANAGEMENT and for March………drum roll please. The theme we are being invited to play with and embrace is DISCERNMENT. Now what does this mean?

The best person to explain it is Lena: “What is discernment? Discernment is the ability to use good judgment regarding choices, decisions, boundaries, actions, intentions, ideas, commitments, other people, your intuition, thoughts, emotions, and self-reflection.

Good judgment comes from self-observation and deep reflection on what is your truth as opposed to what others want or think. March is a month to examine the motivation behind all your actions, reactions, intentions, habits and patterns. Discernment is refining how you manage what is on your plate by setting boundaries around what you wish to keep as well as what you have cut loose, always from a place of pro-action instead of reaction.” You can read more of what the amazing Lena has to share here.

Now this is interesting as within many religious formats we are in the time of Lent, so where are we being discerning in these 40 days? Is it with the food we put in our bodies, the way we use our time, how we use our smartphones, our self care (or lack of it) and a myriad of other things. So there’s something to perk for you delicious one.

Okay, enough chuntering on let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to come support and guide this week I was intrigued to see The Isis Oracle were adamant.

Have you ever asked who Isis is? Goddess of the Skies, Magick and Wisdom are just a few of the titles she is given. Let me take a moment to introduce you to this lovely deck – “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening. Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world. When a Soul is growing in power and strength, it can benefit from guidance to help make the path into a new way of being in the world that much easier. Isis offers Her wisdom and guidance to you to assist you at this time of spiritual growth and transition. She loves you, and wants you to shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.” The perfect guides for this glorious energetic time.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are like gorgeous little robin eggs! I clapped my hands in delight when I saw who wanted to come play. The ones that wanted to show and shine are:- Chrysocolla, Sodalite, Blood Stone.

Okay, roll your shoulders up back and down and just gently settle for a few minutes. Allow your breathing to gently slow itself down and as you wiggle and move your rib cage, feel your arse bones either sitting on a seat, or pointed down to the earth. I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a waterfall, strong, soothing and welcoming you to release any “sticky” bits into the water. If you need a bit more support with dropping into this I have a glorious guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a lookie loo?

SPIRIT OF ISIS

Triumph of the Goddess

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

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

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

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

GODDESS OF 10,000 NAMES

Isis – Endless Emanations of the Priestess

Isis with many names, forms, associations and expressions is referred to as the Goddess of Ten Thousand Names. A name holds power. It defines and energises or limits. The names, faces, and roles that you play are just one part of your being, yet you exist beyond them, beloved Initiate, as a vast being.

You are currently realising that you are not limited by previous identities you held. Instead you are becoming more of your whole Self. Enjoy the uncovering of even more of you!

Just like the Lady Isis, you are a multi-faceted, multi-dimensional being. It is most helpful at this phase in your path that you learn not to attach to roles or identities that may have once held great importance for you or others relating to you. It does not mean that you must cease to relate to that name or role, more that you are realising it is only a part of you and there is even more of you wishing to express itself now.

It can be tricky to avoid getting stuck in roles that others prescribe for you or expect of you, and yet your self-definition will become wider and your experience of yourself will be more real and fulfilling if you are open to discovering more of you, beyond the person you have considered yourself to be up until now. This can be exhilarating and terrifying! However, there is a new, more whole, fulfilling and truthful sense of identity awaiting you. Any fear or struggle that you go through to allow this to happen, beloved, will be spiritually repaid to you multiplied, in so many ways.

There is nothing to lose except old limitations and so much wonder and joy to be gained!

DIVINE SISTERHOOD

Community of the Spiritual Sisters and Brothers of the Light

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

You are guided to allow the Beloved Isis to help you now through community. There can be strength in numbers. Community can help you gain the added power of group effort to rise above the old patterns and lift each other into the new patterns that are so much more real and beautiful. In unity with the Divine in each other, we grow and become capable of such wonders!

You are wise and grounded enough within yourself not to lose yourself in a group, and instead to help a group become a community of honouring individuals. Your leadership by example is important as groups can sometimes descend to the lowest energetic vibration if the members fall into their egos rather than staying in their hearts.

If you have found that you have guidance to build community yourself, and are feeling a little overwhelmed at the thought, stay calm and stay in heart. Allow yourself to collaborate with others, and work in smaller groups in connection with each other as a way to build community together. It will happen naturally. The Divine Sisterhood will guide you if you ask for their assistance with unconditional love.

Wow, what glorious messages and guidance as we enter this amazing March month and play with the building Spring Equinox energy and Discernment! By the way, thank you for all your lovely messages and shares, I soooo appreciate hearing how you are. Someone emailed me last week asking how they could get a deeper reading, super easy and there is a selection of private readings for you. Remember, if you want to find out what is going to be shared over the next few weeks, make sure you are part of our email community. Sending you massive squeezes, warm sunbeams and a bouquet of bobbly daffodils. See you next week!

New Moon in Pisces the last one of the Astrological Cycle and Pancake Tuesday!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Musical, Merry, Mischievous, Mercurial, Manifesting Monday! So do tell, how are you doing with this delicious Mercury Retrograde?

I’ve had an interesting week of unwanted (and unasked for) opinions from people I don’t even know that have been glorious opportunities for growth (she says with clenched teeth!) As well as time acting very strange. In fact, time was acting so strangely that I had to double and triple check appointments etc. As this weekend I seemed to have misplaced a whole day! (Most bizarre and discombobulating!) Gotta love how liminal time works.

However, this week we have had glorious sunshine which made me so happy after the horizontal, torrential rain we had for weeks. And as I was yomping with Danu my heart soared as the cherry blossoms were out everywhere! It’s like walking through a delicate Japanese painting, which made me realise that without all the rain we have had – these delicate flowers wouldn’t be out yet. So there is always a positive! Oh yes and there are wild daffs popping out all over the place, gently opening their lovely yellow flutes and glowing in the sun. Spring is coming!

Thank you so much to all of you who reached out about how to drop a grounding cord. It was a delight to help and share with you a recording on how to do it, and your feedback made me grin as you shared where you were when dropping your cord! The public bathroom at a hockey game was the best! It will most certainly help in these glorious energetic times for sure!

Okay, yesterday a glorious New Moon arrived, and if you remember – the New Moon sets the energy for the month and the fact it is in Mercury Retrograde is even more delicious! This New Moon is in Pisces which is the last of the zodiac signs, so we are coming to the end of a year long journey. Thus, this is the last of the lunar cycle before a new astrological year begins.

Well, that’s great Jenn – you may be saying. But what does it mean?

Pisces is watery, and water is the emotional, the divine feminine. It creates a feeling of a liminal place betwixt and between. Where we float on the edge of dreams, aware of subtle energies, magical beings and ghosts of the past and future.

Under this energy, we are being encouraged to reflect, to dive deep into our being, and to think about what we wish to bring into our lives as this new cycle begins. However, as we do this, as Lena shares; “This New Moon can have the potential to scout out old fears, regrets, disappointments, anger, feelings of betrayal and loss, shame and other emotional debris. Don’t wallow in them. These emotions are up because it is time to clear them and move on by engaging creativity, hope, imagination, inspiration and vision of what you want for yourself in the future. Spend time today with anything, anyone, or any environment that raises your vibration, brings you joy, beauty and laughter. Keep it personal, unique to you, and honor your own individuality especially around your personal needs and desires. Own them, forgive the past, and look towards the future.”

An easy way to work with this is to write down your New Moon Wishes, another fabulous way is to work with a New Moon Bowl. I personally do both as that’s just who I am. But give one a try, what do you have to lose?

Pancake Tuesday is this week (nom!) And as someone who was brought up as a Catholic, C of E, Quaker, Unitarian (such a delicious mix), I’m often drawn to exploring sacred texts, different forms of worship and celebration. After all, I chant various pauries from the So Purkh every morning!

Anyhow, on Sunday I went to a United Church nearby and was reminded we start the season of Lent this week, first with Pancake Tuesday and then with Ash Wednesday. I always used to see the season of Lent as deprivation, something to be endured or even dreaded. However, the lovely Minister that I was listening to shared how Lent is a germination time, a time of deeper receiving and planting ourselves in the mystery. A time to become a seed, still and waiting in the darkness and open to the miracles. I sooo loved this as we are currently in Late Winter and this is a time when the shoots are slowly pushing up towards the surface and there is an invitation to notice one sign of rebirth or renewal out in the world. So as you move through the world this week open up all your senses and look for these delicious signs and of course make Pancakes on Tuesday!! I personally will be making crepes galore and stuffing them with various fillings, so if you’re in the neighbourhood, come on over!

Okay, enough chuntering on. When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide this week I was tickled to see that the glorious “White Light Oracle” chose to participate. Now, if you remember this deck came to me right at the beginning of this new year and the new decade. And when I brought them home and opened them up to cleanse, bless and consecrate them I laughed so hard. A wolf! The back of the cards was a wolf and my gorgeous sister Fi loved wolves. In fact for one of her birthdays she went to a wolf sanctuary and learned all about them. And could howl like a glorious wolf with ease. A wolf and a star. Perfect!

Thus, please let me introduce you to the glorious guides of “The White Light Oracle”:- Let us guide you into the luminous realm of the sacred. The scared 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.

Ahhhhhh, breathe that last line in please.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to come support are:- Smoky Shadow Quartz – healing properties that work to reconnect us to the earth and its life-giving soil, making it one of the best stones for grounding and balancing. Red Calcite –is a vital stone that increases energy and willingness to experience life. And last but not least, Lemurian Seed – is known as one of the master crystals because it tunes into your spiritual compass, working to unlock the secret doors of your soul. Oh yes and the glorious delicate cherry blossoms wanted to participate.

Okay, let’s settle in. Gift yourself with a few moments and just breathe long and slow. Allow the cares of the day to drop down to the floor. Let your jaw relax, your scalp relax and your breath to just gently slow. I invite you to stay in this space for a moment and invite into your minds eye that relaxing into the mystery, what shoots are burbling beneath the surface, what fears are there? If you need some more support with tapping into this energy there is a lovely guided visualization for you where we do a bit of demolition and construction – no special equipment is needed.

Did you remember to pick?

Are you ready to see what your deep wise self chose for you?

SOVEREIGN QUEEN MAEVE

Value what is sacred to you by protecting it from interference, even that which may be well-intentioned. Be compassionate, but set firm boundaries. You are going to triumph over a negative situation. It will take courage, buy you have more than enough inner strength, resourcefulness and boldness to accomplish what you wish to attain. Do not give up. You have the ability to connect with higher worlds, so open your heart and mind to the light.

At the portal between everyday reality and the rapture of unchecked aliveness stands Sovereign Queen Maeve. She is an initiatrix, taking us beyond the constraints of polite moralism and into the bliss, sacred passion, grit and astuteness needed to cultivate and protect the light.

Goddess, warrior, Queen of the Fae, and fearless guardian and protector of territory. Maeve is wild and determined. Protecting territory from a spiritual perspective is unlike the grasping and self-serving of the ego that wishes to obtain whatever it can for its own benefit. This world needs souls who are willing and able to hold sacred space and refuse to allow it to become contaminated by greed, jealousy, hate or confusion. This is an act of courage and selflessness.

Come home to yourself again and again. Know you are strong enough to live your life and chart your course in communion with the sacred. In Sanskrit, svaraj is ‘self rule’, and, as the meaning of raj is also ‘radiance,’ it can also mean ‘self-luminous.’

Do not allow your destiny to rest in the hands of others. Recognise that the light within is your true ruler. You have the power to light yourself up with Spirit. Commit to what you can do and believe the realms of the Divine are working with you. Do not be dissuaded!

LASYA OF PARVATI

There is a gentler way to proceed and obtain the same, or even greater, effect. Tame the wild and frenzied workings of the mind by grounding yourself with beauty, pleasure and grace. Violence and its negative effects shall be overcome and healed through feminine gentleness and inner spiritual strength. There is so much future happiness.

Parvati is the Universal Mother in her gentle aspect. Although, as with all mothers, her fierce side will emerge if it’s needed to protect. She is beautiful and benevolent and evokes the qualities of love, connection, creativity and devotion to a higher purpose. The Divine Goddess has many names, and Parvati is also known as Jagatambe, the Mother of the Universe. Her son is Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity who fosters success in all ventures and protection from obstacles.

Parvati is a Tridevi, the sacred triune of feminine nature or triple goddess of Hinduism. Parvati is the divine archetype of the vital, competent, creative and loving woman. There is an opportunity here to heal one’s mother wounds and one’s relationship with the feminine more generally.

We can trust that the Divine Mother loves us and responds to what is needed, but also knows how to get things done without being more heavy-handed than necessary. She is genuinely moved by our suffering and will manifest in whatever forms are needed to heal.

Give up the notion that the deepest issues require the most difficult path to heal. Let her Lasya dance of happiness and grace unveil a gentler and more loving way.

PEARL OF SHARRO

Taking responsibility for your experiences empowers you. You are going to resolve an issue through spiritual inspiration and higher guidance. You will rise up in full connection to your spirit and access a wealth of divine treasure. That which has brought darkness into your world shall submit to the light and be transformed. Have courage and commitment to your awakening, for you are a precious being and can go far on the spiritual path this lifetime.

Sharro is a Tibetan word meaning to arise or manifest and shine with radiant spiritual light. Sharro is the outcome of sacred alchemy. It is the manifestation of the pearl beyond price. Created in the depths of the ocean, hidden away in a shell from prying eyes, this pearl symbolizes a beautiful blessing of unexpected grace. It began when an irritant caused the formation of a luminescent coating. The healing response to that initial intrusion resulted in an organic creation of inestimable beauty, value and uniqueness, so this pearl can be a sacred catalyst.

In the inner work of self-transformation, we take that which appears negative and utilise it to increase our goodness. However, we need to take care not to attribute the negativities to divine will that are actually caused by humans. Human beings have free will. Without it, there could be no growth, only a following of rules. For the soul, life is something like a multidimensional art class. It is allowed to create with absolute freedom, with the understanding that it will be responsible for its creations.

You have the capacity to become a light bearer. Safeguard your energy yet trust that the light within is strong enough to see you through any struggle and eventually transform it into a precious pearl of sacred empowerment. You have wisdom in your divinely alchemical heart!

Oh I soooo loved this reading, I hope you did too! Many of you have asked how to go deeper and one of the ways is through a Private Reading. Wishing you a stupendous week filled with laughter, ease and grace. The trust and the faith that you are resting in the mystery and in a space of germination. Oh yes, and a glorious mound of pancakes! However you like them! Big hugs and squeezes.

With Mercury Retrograde in Pisces, Grounding is Important. So let’s make a Trifle!

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy Magnificent, Mercurial, Magickal, Manifesting Monday Delicious Lovely! Today is a delightful holiday here – Family Day – so I’ve been hanging with the mob and as the sun has been shining, gardening had to happen! Thankfully where I live the Parks department of the City creates a huge, massive pile of hot, steamy, well aged compost (soooo love the smell). So I hauled a truck full of it on the weekend, weeded, gently moved renegade blue bells to a new spot and popped all the stinkiness into the garden. Yum!!! I revel in talking to the plants, advising the weeds they need to politely depart and exploring all the little buds and strivings of green shoots that are pushing up getting ready for Spring. Makes my heart soar and I find it is a fabulous way to let visions flow.

We have lots to explore today and we are going to play with the analogy of making a Trifle (work with me here), to explain everything for this week. You ready?

Today we enter Mercury Retrograde! Whoot, whoot! (Can you say, hold onto your bloomers?) So as we know Mercury is the planet of communication, mentality, thinking patterns, rationality and reasoning, and adaptability and variability. So yes we can sometimes get a tad lost and a bit like Chicken Little running around saying “Mercury is retrograde, Mercury is retrograde! But prior to running around like Chicken Little, let’s think of Mercury Retrograde as the Jelly in the Trifle okay? Wobbly, interesting and sometimes slips off your spoon.

When Mercury enters into retrograde, it guides us to tap into the unseen, hidden realms of our mind. It helps us to tune in and listen so we can become better communicators, on all fronts. While things in our outside world may feel a little chaotic and all over the place during a Mercury Retrograde, it is our inner world that is calling to us.

This is the perfect time to really take the time to investigate some of the leftovers from the past. Now what do I mean by that? Let’s say every time you think of your sister there is a resentment about something she did or didn’t do. Therefore this resentment is taking up space in your head and heart, holding energy blocked instead of allowing it to flow. Time to let that puppy go and welcome your own energy back clear, clean and fresh. So if you experience any “tweakiness” during this retrograde take a moment to look at if it’s coming from outside of you or from inside. If it’s yours and it’s holding old energy that can be better used in the present day. Let it Go! If it’s coming from outside you (like your partner, your kid), you have no control over other people, places, situations and things. So don’t let your energy get sucked down that rabbit hole.

So then to add to it, we are in the Waning phase of the Moon. In other words, we have had a glorious Full Moon and now it’s getting smaller and smaller as the New Moon approaches. It’s a re-lease, re-flect time, a re-trograde time! (This is the custard of the Trifle).

Then if you remember, the Shamanic theme of this month is Management. This is about really managing our energy, staying out of overwhelm, managing our thoughts and letting go of those sticky pieces of the past that are taking up space. (So now we have the Lady Fingers and Fruit in the Jelly of the Trifle). Lol. Getting hungry yet?

So with all of this swirling around you, the most important thing to remember is to be Grounded. (This is the glorious Whipped Cream on the Trifle that brings it all together.)

When you are grounded, it’s as if you have put huge roots down into the Earth and are being held, supported, nourished and nurtured. So no matter what winds, or energies, or loopy things happen around you, or what someone says to you, you can bend and sway with grace and then come back to center. Aaaahhhh, it feels lovely, yet we so often forget to do it and wonder why at the end of the day we feel fragmented, foggy, overwhelmed, haven’t slept well etc.

There are so many easy, easy, techniques to ground. Drop a grounding cord (you can do this in a grocery store line up – if you don’t know how to do this email me). Cover your crown chakra for 30 secs and breath into your feet. Smudge and set an intention. Stand in tree pose and visualise your roots going down, down into the Earth (I have done this one in meetings!) Hug a tree. Stand on the earth/grass with bare feet and breathe! Follow your breath for a few minutes (fabulous to do when waiting at a red light). Rub your palms together and wiggle your toes at the same time.

The key thing is to do it every day. You can’t set a grounding cord and expect it to stay there for a week or so, yes? So with all these they offer you the space to clear your mind, calm your emotions, manage your energy and let the delicious whirlwind of Mercury retrograde to just tousle your hair instead of blowing you over. Let me know which ones you pick.

Phew, okay, let’s crack on with the reading! (I can so chunter on lol). I will be honest, when I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide this week (and you bet my mind had an idea of what it wanted). I laughed so hard that my tea came out of my nose, not an attractive sight! It wasn’t the cards that my mind were thinking of, but it is the cards that my guides picked. And they picked The Oracle of Divine Circus.

Now if these glorious, cheeky guides are new to me, please let me introduce them – as it’s rude not to. The reason I laughed is these glorious guides are playful, but deep. They think outside the box and invite you to do the same. “What is life if not a Divine Circus? Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us moment earlier. Life is magical, thrilling, sometimes strange and even scary. It can inspire you and touch your soul, inviting you to discover the unique magic within you, to dare to live it, to express it, to play with possibilities and embrace what sets you apart from the crowd. “

Yup, I think they are perfect for this week!

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to be involved are:- Labradorite, Carnelian and Black Moonstone. Oh yes and the glorious Camellia flowers that are popping out everywhere wanted to come and shed some love and light.

So my Delicious Lovely, let’s take a moment to settle in shall we? Just breathe yourself back into your body, imagine your feet on the earth, the breeze gently brushing your cheek and breathe. Allow all the dramas, the thoughts and the worries to seep out your feet and drop into the earth. If you would like some extra support on re-leasing there is a glorious guided visualisation for you. Then when you feel ready and in your heart space pick the card or cards that whisper to you on this delicious day.

Did you remember to pick?

Come with me and let’s go see shall we?

CONFETTI

You will soon have cause for celebration. Whether a big win or a token gain affirming that the best is yet to come, sweet success is headed your way. Prepare to celebrate!

It’s time to find the celebratory spirit within. Maybe you already feel it, or maybe it’s the last thing in the world you can imagine feeling right now, but whether it’s on your radar or not, a cause for celebration is imminent. So can you put yourself in the party mood? It starts with a carnival attitude and a pleasure-seeking state of mind. Can you allow for pleasure? For play?

Oh yes, there is always so much to do, but sometimes all that can happen more quickly and easily another day. It’s time to spend your energy in playfulness. That is the most enjoyable piece of spiritual guidance you are probably ever going to receive – so relish it! Don’t wait another moment to get your celebratory vibe on! If you want more success, happiness and celebration in your life, you can enhance that right now by being happy for the success of others around you. Do you know that success is like a wave? When you genuinely congratulate another and feel happy for their happiness, your own energy field gets a jolt of that same energy. You attract it into your own life. You deserve success for all you are and all you’ve accomplished just as much as anyone else.

Be happy for them and be happy for you as the universe is giving you notice of a party – and you are most definitely meant to attend – and it’s heading your way.

THE GOOD GEISHA

You are clever. You know how to play an impressive game of strategy to win approval and gain allies. Even without always noticing it consciously, you can sense what people want. Sometimes you are so good at showing others what they want to see that you forget how beautiful you are when you are just being you. But your time has come, the time to unveil the one true real you and attract the allies who are not interested in what you can do for them, but who love you for who you really are.

You are ready to opt out of a game that most people play unconsciously. It’s a game of image and appearance at the expense of the true self.

So many people are so used to playing this game they no longer realise they are doing it. They don’t really know who they are and they are afraid to really find out. They live behind masks that appeal to others but slowly starve their authentic self, denying it the opportunity to experience being seen and to receive real love. Any promise of success, love or wealth that begins with you contorting yourself into something you are not is a false promise. It cannot deliver anything worthy of you.

You are not one of those fearful souls, but you know what it is like to have been caged in an invisible prison, a way of thinking and being that is not good for you. In times gone by, your soul has been shackled, your voice silenced, your true beauty hidden under more “appropriate” and “acceptable” guises, your intentions misunderstood and your words misconstrued. You’ve been like a beautiful wild creature, captured as though somehow you could be tamed and changed.

Be unafraid to discover the depths of your own being coming to life. If you do not, you shall bind yourself to a life far too bland for the colour and majesty of your soul. Being what another wants you to be is a false promise of love, and you are destined for love, real, wild, pure and true. Make sure you start by giving it to yourself, then you can share it with others and receive it from others too.

TIGER ANGEL

The Universe needs you. It needs your strength, your guiding hand, your devotion, your goodness and your protection. There are people, projects, ideas and hopes that need your encouragement, your optimism, your nurturing. You have helpful healing power in you. Be confident enough to be gentle and your inner power shall uplift and protect many in this world, keeping them safe and inspiring them to trust in love.

We all have moments where we wonder if we are doing such a great job at this game of life. The idea of helping others might appeal; and yet, when we have our moments of struggle in our own lives, we may question whether or not we are a good candidate to protect, guide and nurture others.

When the desire to create a positive contribution to the world exists in your heart, you must remember that such desire was placed there on purpose, for your life purpose.

There is a truth in your heart, the truth that knows every being is loved and serves to feel safe and live their life in freedom and truth. Your adherence to this truth can tame even the most fearful and resistant thoughts within you and the people around you. Your invisible influence also helps all beings to remember that there is no need for fear, and that together, we can create a world where all creatures are happy and free.

Oh my gosh, how delicious and delightful for this glorious energy time. Wishing you an amazing week filled with the deep sense of ease that comes with grounding, the fiery passion of dreams burbling, the soothing waters of emotional well being and the gentle breeze of knowing and surety. Sending you massive hugs and squeezes! (Psssst, and remember to laugh!)

Simple Abundance, Post Full Moon and Valentines Day!

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy Marvellous, Magickal, Mysterious, Magnetic, Mesmerising, Melodious, Mellow, Manifesting Monday! How was the lovely Full Moon for you? I have heard from quite a few of you that you experienced big releases, and delicious heart openings which are awesome. I took some time that day for ritual and then spell casting in the evening (yes I did say spell casting). It was a glorious spell for Joy activation that is best performed under the Full Moon, so I most certainly did it and it felt marvelous (and my home smelled divine). I went to the beach as the sky was crystal clear and hung out with the waves, the moon and listened to that delicious sound that the waves make as they tickle the underside of the rocks. I also took all my crystals outside to get a divine moon bath!

I have had quite a few emails asking if the Imbolc reading special is still available. You bet, until the morning of the 14th (Friday).

Since the beginning of January I have been working with a book called “Simple Abundance”. What is interesting is that I had this book 18 years ago and it didn’t resonate for me at all – so I gave it away. However, now it does (gotta love how books know when you are ready for them.)

One of the things that I’ve been playing with this last week is seeking out the Sublime in the Ordinary. We all have days where we are ruled by our “to do” list and there are the mundane chores that need attending to, so to keep our daily rounds from being all drudgery, we’ve got to savour the art of the small: discovering diminutive delights that bring us joy, peace and pleasure. For example, when I have to cook dinner, instead of multi-tasking on the phone, listening to the radio and getting frustrated with the veg I need to chop. I have been embracing being present and having fun with the food creation and infusing it with love. When I feel bent out of shape that we have had days upon days of rain, I pull on my rain pants and wellies and hop with delight in every puddle I see! I bought a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and have them on the mantelpiece, and I bought a bunch of primulas and popped them into my pots so I see them every time I leave or come home. Simple things that make my smile and give me joy.

In doing this we really seize the essence of life. Embracing every moment. As Margaret Collier Graham wrote in 1906 – “People need joy quite as much as clothing. Some of them need it far more.” So what are some of the joyful simplicities you can bring into your life?

On Friday we have Valentine’s Day. Which let’s be honest, has now become a Hallmark celebration thanks to Chaucer in the 14th century), the meaning of love has become about romantic love which can be tough for people if they have lost someone, choose to be single or just want something different. According to legend, Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge, and he wrote her a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell before his execution. The Feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honour of the Christian martyr, Saint Valentine of Rome, who died on that date in AD 269.

So I’ve perked what I want to do for Valentine’s and how I want to share and spread love to those I know, and those I don’t. Meringues it is! Little wee meringue nests filled with whipped cream and topped with a raspberry and gift them. Why? Because I believe it is important to remind people that they are loved, seen, valued and important, even the people you don’t know that you walk past on the street. So if any of you want to come over and help meringues, please do and if you know how to make tin foil swans – let me know.

When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to come and guide 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.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to participate are Angel Wing Phantom – Tranquility, Peacock Ore – Happiness/Joy and Mookaite – Nurturing/Decision making. The lovely snowdrops wanted to come participate and are now sitting in a wee vase on my desk.

Okay gorgeous one, let’s take a moment shall we? I invite you to breathe in through your nose and sigh it out through your mouth. Allow your breathing to slow in its own way. And as it does invite into your minds eye the conception of Joy. What does it look like? What does it feel like? If you would like a bit more support there is a lovely guided visualisation for you. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards or all of them (there is no right or wrong way) that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Are you ready to go have a little look see?

THE LADY GRIAN

I am of the Earth and of the Sol-star’s light. I am the opening of the flower, the love that lives in the flower of your heart. I love you, and wish for you to draw this love energy into your being.

I am a power source that you cannot neglect. Because even if you feel you are being of winter, and that your heart has grown cold and hrd in order to ease the pain, I tell you that you are now ready to reveal your own life source and warmth to another being. The love you have to share will be appreciated and returned. More so, this warm and loving heart energy will be its own reward, as you awaken again to your feeling nature. Please open your heart in this moment.

Allow yourself to love. See the beauty in warmth, and smile as often as you can. Bring forth your joy, and see the opening of others’ hearts. Wear yellow, red and gold: all the colours of my friend, the Sun, and you will feel a great flow of energy awakening throughout your body and energetic being. Please see that the seeds you planted need warm earth in which to grow. Yes, they can survive when it is cold, but they cannot thrive.

So be warm, extend your energy, and know that your truly radiant self will create great opportunity and abundance around you. Simply extend some heart energy, and I will support you and love you until you are the radiance of the Sun incarnated in your own form.

Love. Be loved. Love.

CHUMARA

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

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

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

HIDEKI’S DOOR

I know you wish to reach out, and yet you hold back. I know you feel drawn to knock on this door and to see whether it will be answered this time…and yet you fear so much. You fear that it will not be answered…that the answer or the face that appears beyond the door will not be to your liking…that if you enter, you may never return… I cannot put your fears to rest, for only you can do that. But I can tell you what I see. I see a spirit whose flame has flickered low,, whose light is in danger of going out if it does not take the next step. For years you have passed this door and many times you have found yourself here. You may even have knocked at the door, only to flee, like a terrified child, before the door was opened to you.

I say to you now: it is time. Reach out. Knock at the door. And let what will be, be.

Nervous about a new chance…feeling as though your comfort zone is far better than the unknown; longing to travel and to change, yet unwilling to do anything about it; procrastinations and old habits keeping you from reaching out and accepting what is being offered. You are ready…it is simply nerves that are holding you back, conditioned fears and internalised voices from the past. Reach out…take a hold of the handle and be ready for the wonder of the unknown that lies beyond the door. The doors of perception are about to change…forever.

You have nothing to fear, except fear freezing your hand, again. Knock on the door. All is well.

Ahhhhh, lovely! So my delicious lovely, remember the Imbolc reading special is only until the morning of the 14th, if you want to take advantage of it. Have a stupendous week and please play with seeing the Sublime in the Ordinary and breathing in and becoming a delicious beacon of love. Remember you are precious and important and have so much to share. Big hugs and squeezes!!!
