Holy Hannah it’s December! What does December hold in store for You?

· ·

Happy Musical, Merry, Muddling, Mysterious, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Holy Hannah, December is already here!  How are you doing?  How are you feeling?

I set my intention about how I wanted to move through December by going to a glorious candlelit concert in Christ Church Cathedral on the night of December 1st.  

500 or more candles, a glorious quartet and an amazing young opera singer.  It was soothing, healing and serene.

Which totally explains all the messages that have been handed to me about how to support and help this month, with the swirling energies of December and my guides and I have been mapping 2024!  

Thus, we are doing a “Theme reading” – what is your personal theme for 2024? 

Each year we get a new tarot card that lets us know what will be in store. The card shows us what is on the horizon and where there is work to be done and what to expect from 2024.  

This reading is designed to support and empower you for the year ahead as we dive deep and explore the themes and energy of your theme card.  

Many of you found this super helpful last year and have requested that it be available again.  

So voila, it is!

Now this isn’t just light and fluffy as they are melding in all the energies of 2024 with your theme to give you a delicious overview of what is being asked of you in the coming year.

There is also going to be a glorious Winter Solstice Guide.

And what’s super cool is we are approaching Solstice, and the time between Solstice and into the early New Year is a glorious liminal time. A time to really dream your seeds into being and to deepen into who we are, what we want, how we want to feel and what needs to be reset. 

So I have created a glorious free course and a group for everyone!

And yes, in January their is a glorious MasterMind Circle with a select amount of seats starting in the New Year where  you will learn energy management, boundaries, values, self mastery, collapsing old mirrors and so much more.  But we will talk more about that later.

So the top 3 will be coming out at the end of the this week, and if you are on the email list you will get first pick for the “theme reading” spots.  

Why am I doing this? 

I was in a grocery shop the last week before December started and the Xmas music was being piped through every speaker, and I noticed this chap (employee), looking very “pained” and fed up. 

So I stopped to have a chat, he shared that listening to Xmas music for 8 hours a day for the next 4 weeks will drive him nuts!  How with his father and best friend dying in this last year he was feeling crushed under the expectations of others.  The expectation to be sparkly, bright and merry.   Fair enough! 

So I listened, gave him a few suggestions and asked him if he would like a hug (which he did, even if it was only one armed at the moment).  

A few days later I had been invited to co-convene a group for women in their early thirties, and when I asked – “What weighs on your heart right now?”  The Tsunami of sharing and emotion that came pouring out was incredible!

Again, the overwhelm, the being tired, the expectations that they should have it all together and create “the perfect Hallmark Xmas for their family”.  The desire to cocoon, hibernate, slow it down instead of speeding it up (but what would the in-laws think?)  Wowzer.

Now I see why my guides were adamant last week that we do a reading pertaining to bandwidth and boundaries!

I love the holiday season – but what I love is the darkness, the sparkly lights, the turning inward, time spent creating, listening and cocooning.  Time spent in a meaningful way with people I love and as we get closer to Winter Solstice – dancing in the liminal time and taking time for me.

So let’s recreate what this month can mean for each of us in a way that nourishes us, supports us and heals us.  Thus, allowing us to step into 2024 with ease and grace, yes?

As Lena shares, the theme for December is: “Revalue and Reprioritize”.

We are still in sorting, shifting, decluttering, releasing, re-organizing mode, but now with a focus on what we value and where our priorities have been that need to be examined and shifted to accommodate recent insights, growth and evolution. 

This month is going to require discipline if we are to stick to the task of uncovering our truth as opposed to what we were imprinted to believe. 

We have been taught by culture what to value, what to strive for, who to be with, what to do, how to act and what not to wish for. 

This is all up for review this month and the discipline will be to keep on track and not be distracted by other people’s drama, reactions, projections and process.

Do you see how this all ties in together?  

What do you value?  Peace or other people’s expectations?  What nourishes and supports you? (And for the record, that is NOT selfish, it’s vital.)

Okay, enough chuntering on.  When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide, The gorgeous Faery Blessing cards were most adamant!  How positively perfect!   

To be Blessed, or to offer a Blessing is a powerful thing.  

Now if these cards are new to you (which they probably are), please let me introduce them (as it’s rather rude not to!)  “Faeries are present in every droplet of water, every blade of grass – they are everywhere there is a trace of nature – thus every field, flower, and forest is theirs.  

They inhabit the wild rainforests and the old castles; they dance within standing stones and burial mounds; they are on the top of mountains and within the grove deep in the valley; and they appear in the cracks in the pavement and beneath the cities in the old, tangled tree roots.  

Faeries are part of this world, and they were here before we were born into this world, and they know us better than we know ourselves.  

The blessings of the faeries can bring us back into relationship with ourselves, back into relationship with the elements, so that we can become more at home within the world, while creating a personal world which supports our dreams, our wishes, and our purpose. ”

Please read that last line again. Bring us back into a relationship……..

So darling one, with yesterday being the first candle of advent – the candle of Hope.  Stepping into the darkness  to release, there is a place for Hope. 

But what is Hope?

“Hope is a feeling of trust, 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?

Thus with the thought of releasing and filling any space with Hope, I invite you to close your eyes down and just breathe.  

For those of you who want to go deeper there is a lovely 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!

A BLESSING OF A SAFE PLACE IN THE WORLD.

The Faery gift of a sanctuary, a space in which to fell completely supported and loved.

The Faeries know what it is like to find the safe places in the world – for theirs are under siege, and have been for such a long time.  The faeries know how to find the little home in the forest or the garden that is growing wild, the roots of old trees and the hollows beneath the sacred hills.

In these places, they have grown stronger and stayed safe, and they now transfer to you a part of this gift.  You will now find places and spaces within the world where you will feel free to be completely yourself, where you, too, can grow strong and bright again, and need have no fear.

Let there be a shelter and a sanctuary for you and your soul, where you can learn what it is you are meant to do next, and where there is no harsh word spoken, only guidance that can help ease us all into the next stage of our lives.

Let the safe spaces become our homes and our workplaces, our friendships and our schools.  Let the world become a safer space, and let the natural world shelter you with her turnings and showings of the changes about you.

Make not a fortress of this space you find, but let it begin to grow in your heart, so that wherever you go, others feel safe with you, and the world changes, in small but bright and beautiful ways, all as a result of this blessing of the faeries.

Blessings of a sanctuary, a safe space to you, friend. 

BLESSED BE.

A BLESSING OF AWEN.

The Faery gift of Divine and Flowing Inspiration.

Let the faeries bless you now with their gift of the Awen, the inspirational flow of energy that can bring to life inspirational new projects, friendships, wisdom, and understanding.  

With every breath you take you absorb the Awen, and you feel more connected, more unique, more divine, more magickal.

Let the Awen come to you, now, tender and new as a bud, and 

let yourself feel the blessing surround you with a visionary new approach to your life.

Let yourself drink down the faery magick of the Awen, and let its sweetness and mystery uplift and re-engage you in life’s every moment.  

May the divine breath of the sacred trees be yours.  May the ways of the creatures of the sky, the land, the sea, and the fire be known to you.

May you know that you now can change, and learn, and study from nature herself in wonderful ways, and thus this life is now full of possibilities.  

When the faery blessing that is the precious gift of the Awen arrives from the Tylweth Teg, know that its blessing will allow you to be wise, yet filled with wonder, and to rejoice in the gift of this life

Blessings of the faeries to you, and of the Awen, friend.

BLESSED BE.

.A BLESSING OF STILLNESS.

The faery gift of pause, calm, and opportunity to be tranquil.

It is this moment, the one long moment before all the other moments, with their cares and responsibilities, gather about you.

Let the faeries give you their gift of time, their blessing of the long moment to gather about you and pause within, while you cease that must be done.  

Pause now, and let them take you within – either within your own self, to the place  you have nurtured there, the grove within, or to the grove, or to the sea, the lake or the river, the tree or the garden, the fireplace or the rocking chair, and be still awhile, human child.  

And in this space, let calm return.

Let peace quietly sit beside you and talk to you of how much there is to be glad for.  Let an old friendship reignite, the one between you and your soul – and for these long moments between all the other moments, let yourself be taken into that world between the worlds and be still.

And when you return, there will be great presence to you – and you will be restored to your own centre once again.

BLESSED BE.

Well that was quite delicious if I do say so myself!  Sanctuary, Inspiration and Stillness – the perfect messages for this month!  Whoot!  So glorious gorgeous ones, I wish for you a blessing of Hope, Ease and Grace as you move through this month.  Be kind to yourself, and if you are part of our email community you will get first dibs on all the offerings.  Big hugs.

How Are Your Boundaries and Bandwidth on this Full Moon?

· ·

Happy Moon filled, Marvellous, Magnetic, Meritorious, Manifesting Monday!

Interestingly enough I wasn’t going to do a reading this week, but my guides (or posse as I call them were super frigging clear – they needed to talk, they needed to talk about bandwidth, boundaries, self worth and so much more – so here we are.)

But first let me say thank you for all the wishes, love and healing vibes – my ribs are slowly mending and I am feeling more like myself! Now here’s a question for you……

Let me ask, on this Gemini Beaver Full Moon, how is your bandwidth? 

This post may be triggering for some people and I can appreciate that and it may piss some people off and I can appreciate that.  Always remember, how you react is your choice.  

Now what do I mean by that word “bandwidth” exactly?

Bandwidth is the measurement of your emotional, mental, spiritual and physical energy that you have available for you.  

Here’s a really easy mathematical example to help you with this concept. (A concept I learned about 20 years ago when working with Caroline Myss). 

You wake up every morning and you have $100 worth of energy to spend in your day.  

As you stumble out of bed and into the shower, you run through your to-do list and your shoulders drop as there are some people you don’t want to interact with – but you need to.  There goes $25.00 of your energy.

As you make your coffee, you turn on the tv and the news is blaring.  Hundreds of people are dying in the war between Israel and Gazza.  Women and children are being killed, hospitals are being bombed – your mind immediately grabs onto that and starts trying to make sense.  And disappears down a rabbit hole, there goes another $40.00 of your energy budget.

As you move through your day and encounter people (who too have limited bandwidth) and are sharp, not listening, don’t even see you.  There goes another $35.00 of your energy budget.

So guess what?  You have just spent your energy budget on the past, the rabbit holes and trauma.  (Harsh I know). 

Now, if you are an empath without healthy boundaries you are going to absorb and not observe, and therefore your energy will get sucked dry at a rapid rate.  But I can 90% guarantee that you will still try to show up.

“If you’re feeling like you’re on your last nerve, like you can’t understand people, or why they’re not hearing you, or even why they are not following simple instructions…Instead, they are misinterpreting, forgetting, dumping on you, unable to hold you as a whole person, are not tracking you… whatever shortcoming it is you’re experiencing right now, please bear in mind that it’s really not personal: People just do not have it right now.”

They do not have capacity for whatever it is you need.

Do you need them to hear your actual words and not assign ill intent to them? They can’t do that right now. 

Do you need them to speak to you using different words, tone, or inflection? They can’t do that. They do not have it in them right now.

Look around at the world. Read the room. 

They are beyond capacity. They are running on fumes. (As are you some days.)

They do not have the ability to bring their whole best self to an interaction right now. They are a trauma response waiting to happen.

This is where self attachment (knowing who you are, what you need, your values and having healthy boundaries is vital!)

This is where practising self care techniques, havening, vagus nerve soothing, and taking supplements is important.  

This is where you need to be really connected to your self-worth and your values right now. 

If I were to ask you what your top 3 core values are right now, would you know?  Could you describe them in depth?  Do they wend through all areas of your life?

You have to have a clear line on your moral compass. You have to know what’s the most important thing to you. And do it!  

As that old saying goes “If you don’t fill your own well, there is nothing.”

Give yourself a fucking break!  Invite Grace into your day.  

Tie that into the Gemini/Beaver Full Moon energy and wowzer.  

“We have almost reached the end of the calendar year and under the November Full Moon, we may begin feeling that it’s time to release and let go of any heaviness 2023 has brought our way.

While we still have one more Full Moon to go in December, the Gemini Full Moon on November 27, guides us to begin thinking about what we wish to cleanse and what we wish to purge.

What do we no longer want to carry in 2024? What has become too heavy and too burdensome? What has been taking up far too much of our resources?

It’s time to start thinking about letting the heavy things go. It’s time to start clearing our plates so we can move through 2024 with more alignment, grace, and ease.

Use this November Full Moon to start assessing what is too heavy to hold and what you wish to be free of come the new year. Set your intentions and put them out to the Universe under the Full Moon. Allow them to be carried by the powerful cleansing energies that the Full Moon brings.”

So please darling one, if you take away anything from this writing.  Bandwidth, boundaries and releasing the yes’s that should be no’s.  

And for those who are interested, there will be a powerful MasterMind Circle for a select few starting in the New Year where  you will learn energy management, boundaries, values, self mastery, collapsing old mirrors and so much more.  If you are interested in hearing more make sure you are on the email list.  

Okay, with all that being said let’s crack on with the reading.  

If you have never met these guides, let me introduce you.  

Faeries are magical beings who are guardians and protectors of our precious planet.  They care for plants, flowers and trees, and us daft humans.  They want everyone to experience their ancient wisdom and to feel reconnected to the Earth, our home, and to self.  

The faeries are delighted to spiritually support and encourage you on this fantastic journey as you walk upon the faery path.  And they remind you – there’s more to life than what you can see with your physical eyes.  

Perfect guides for this time!  

So darling one, just BE for a moment.  Allow your breathing to slow down, the todo list to drop to the floor and imagine filling your own well with magnitude, light, love and ease.  Breathe that in and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.  

For those who would like to go a bit deeper into the energy of Magnitude, or feel they need a wee bit of help with filling their tank.  I have a glorious guided visualisation for you.  

Did you pick?

Let’s have a gander, shall we?

MOON SECRETS

Cycles

Life is all about cycles.  Creation depends on cycles.  The cycles that create life on Earth are meshed with those that create and run the Universe.

We are all aware of the moon’s cycles and the effects that they have upon life on Earth.  

From our ties to our reproductive cycles, the moon has a great influence upon our lives.  

For certain, the Universe also has many other cycles that influence us.  Everything in existence is cyclic in one form or another or it could not exist.  Cycles bring order to the Universe and to our lives.

There is a season for everything.  Everything must happen in its own time.

A cycle forms a circle, which symbolises continuance of cosmic energy flow.  The energy that animates each of us is never ending.  It was in the beginning and will ever be.  It can change forms but it cannot be destroyed. 

Learn to know the cycles that affect you.  Sense them.  Pay attention and notice all the cycles around you in your life.

The seed that sprouts and grows has a cycle.  Day and night are cyclic.  You breathe in and you breathe out.  

What all these cycles tell you is that there is order in the Universe and there is order in your life.

You just have to acknowledge the order and flow with it.  Don’t fight it.

Know that when you relax into life, things begin to work more smoothly as you are no longer fighting against the universal energy patterns, but moving within them.  

“Goddess Moon……

Who reflects the cycles of the Universal force,

Help me to remember

All things have their perfect time of being,

As well as their perfect time of ceasing in this realm.

The great wheel of existence turns continually.

Help me to remember 

I am a party of the wheel and of all that is.

I am!

So be it!”

Celebrate life’s cycles today!

GIFT REVEALED

Surprise

Faeries love good surprises.  

However, when they are faced with a  surprise that isn’t quite what they asked for, they pout.  Pouring soon turns to a smile and laughter as they realise that everything comes with its own gift.  

They always look until they find the gift.  

If life gives you something that you aren’t completely thrilled with, keep an open mind.  Often the best things come disguised.  Look below the surface and see what a person or situation holds for you.  Do not be quick to judge new people.  Not everything is revealed on the spot.  

Connect with the person and work to understand where they are coming from.  Their experience is different from yours.  So take the time to see what makes them tick and what they have to offer.  They are just as important as you are.

Do the same with situations….understand that what appears to be the case may not be the truth at all.  

Remember that solutions can come in the strangest of ways when you allow them to do so.  

Always ask that Spirit create the perfect situation for you.  Find the gift in all things.

“Oh Spirit of the night,

That hides the light of day,

I call upon your wisdom to help me on my way.

To look below the surface and see what lies within.

I cast about some fairy dust to sprinkle at my whim.

I judge not that what I see, but look and let it be.

For I do  know within my grasp a gift is there for me.

So be it!”

Surprise someone today!

WATER ELEMENT

Flow

Water is the elixir of life on Earth.  

It is also a symbol for the astral fluid (or Universal Energy) that permeates all things.   Water deserves our respect and gratitude since without it there is no life.  

Water element is also associated with the divine feminine.  It is about love, fertility, emotion and is also associated with the subconscious mind.

Water has no fixed state, it is in a constant state of flux.  How does water show up in your life?

Do you squander it?  Are you aware of it?  How are your emotions?  Are they tumultuous or on an even keel?

It is totally natural for emotions to fluctuate, but if they are peaking and troughing, ask this glorious Water Element Fairy to help you keep them in balance.

This water fairy dances in the flow of the energy around her.  She is joyous and buoyant as she moves with the current.  She does not fight it, she moves with the flow.  She knows that this fluid energy will take her where she needs to be and bring to her what she needs and desires.  

As water is associated with the subconscious mind, you may also be looking at a need to follow your subconscious.  This can be done in dream work, as there are many messages if  you just take the time to focus on them.  

Pay attention to your intuition as it works to guide your daily life.  Ask the element of water to purify your emotions and your intentions.  

Ask it to help you see clearly, as in a calm pool of water, what you need to know about yourself on a deeper level.  You might be pleasantly surprised by what you discover about yourself.  

“I honour the fluidity of life.

I dance in the spirit of water.

I drink in its substance, deeply.

I am thus sustained!

So be it!”

Be buoyant today!

What a gloriously lovely reading! I’m so glad my spiritual posse badgered me to share what they wanted to say. So darling one, I wish for you a week of practicing healthy boundaries. Self attachment. Anything that nourishes you and fills your well. Sending big hugs and squeezes.

Remembering and Stepping into the Portal of 11:11 energy!

· ·

Hello delicious lovely!!  Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Manifesting, Majestic, Mesmerising, Mysterious, Memorable Monday!  How are you on this glorious day?

Grab yourself a lovely cuppa as we have lots to cover this week such as Remembrance Day and working with the powerful 11:11 energy!  Whoot!  Are you ready?

This Saturday (November 11th) is Remembrance Day, also known as Armistice Day.  It marks the day World War One ended at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918! 105 years ago!!!

So, the other day I was in a grocery line up, with my butternut squash, daikon and halloumi (won’t that make an interesting meal), and I was wearing a Poppy for Remembrance Day – in fact this year I have bought 3 as I keep losing them or they drop off.  As I’m waiting in line for my turn the chap behind me started a rather odd debate with me about the wearing of a Poppy.   He shared that he refused to wear one as it was a symbol of death to which I totally, 100% disagree.  

The Poppy to me is a symbol of Remembering those who bravely went to fight for our freedoms and well being.  It is also a symbol of Hope, hope for our troops that are still deployed all over the world and Hope for a time of Peace.   As someone who was in the Military reserves and a reserve police officer, and also having friends who were or still are in the military, let alone a father who was and a grandfather, I feel very strongly about the respect and honour that is due to those sacrifices and those that are still away from home.  

Personally, I think it is important to focus on those types of events, the ones that inspire Hope and Peace, and don’t get me wrong, there are all sorts of horrendous wars being waged all over the world.  But drop back into that space of Armistice, Hope and Peace – it is sooooo possible on every level in this world (at least that is my belief).

Thus on Remembrance day we have the potent energy of 11:11.  Great Jen, what does that mean for me (you may be asking)?

This day holds the number code of 1111, which is a power number in astrology and also an angel number.

If there is something you want to manifest or a wish you want to make, this is the day to set your intentions!

1111 heightens our ability to create and to leave an imprint on the tapestry that is all of life. It also indicates that we are in complete harmony and alignment with all of nature. 

From this state of alignment, it becomes easier for us to feel grounded and connected to our life here on Earth, but also to the magic and wisdom of higher realms.

Close your eyes and remember the last time that you set an intention. Did you feel doubtful that your wish would come true, or did you have faith that the universe was listening, ready to help you bring your vision to life? 

11/11 is one of the most powerful days of the year for manifestation – a day when we’re reminded that our guides are always with us, supporting us on the path to our deepest dreams. 

There’s a reason why we’re told to make a wish whenever we see 11:11 on the clock. 11 is a master number, and its frequency speeds up manifestation, opening up channels through which angelic beings can send their wisdom and support.

“The number 11 grants us access to the 5th dimension, where the constraints of time and space do not exist. On 11/11, we experience 5D energy in the form of synchronicity, alignment, and acceleration. You might experience that “right place, right time” feeling – the reassurance that you’re on the right path, and everything you’re seeking is seeking you in return.”

The Law of Attraction, based on the Hermetic Principles, teaches us that everything we manifest is created by thought: Where your attention goes, energy flows. Every second, you’re thinking things into existence – so on this day, pay attention to where your thoughts tend to wander. 

Are you focused on bright and positive outcomes, or are you subconsciously manifesting your worries and fears?

Work with the energy of 11/11 to positively channel your thoughts in service of your highest path. I recommend meditating at 11:11 am or 11:11 pm to best harness the magic. 

Set aside 11 minutes to close your eyes and go within, visualizing what you desire and how it would feel if you’d already received it.  Yes?

Another simple way to harness this energy is to free flow and write for 11 minutes about all your heart’s desires and intentions.  At the end of the 11 minutes, go back and highlight the words that inspire you, make you feel hopeful, excited and then formulate them into an intention.

If you wanted to go a step further you could make a sacred Sigil!

So gorgeous bean, take some time on Saturday to Remember.  To fill yourself with Hope and Peace and play in the 5th dimension and really visualise what you desire.  Okay?

When I asked my guides how they wanted to share with you this week I was tickled to see that they picked the wonderful Sacred Destiny Oracle, who have been rather shy about doing public readings, but this week they were 100% on board.  

So in case  you have never met them, let me introduce you – and if you have met them before, let me reintroduce you (as not to do so is rude!).  “You have a sacred destiny; we all do.  There is a powerful and profound reason that you are here on the planet.  However, sometimes it may be difficult to understand what that reason is and perceive what is required on your journey into the future.  It may be a challenge to know what the next step in life should be.  This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul.  In ancient traditions, shamans, medicine women, witches, visionaries, and prophets all accessed hallowed knowledge by observing their natural environment.  These wise beings stepped through mystic gateways into inner realms to bring back meaning to the seemingly random event of life. “

Woosah!  Perfect guides for this perfect time!  (You seriously can’t make this shit up!)

Thus, I invite you to slow down for a few minutes.  Just breathe yourself back into your body and the here and now.  Let your breathing slow down, your jaw soften and a sense of Hope, Remembering and Peace fill your mind’s eye.  Gently swirling and soothing  you.  Then, when you are ready, pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

If you need a bit more support there is a wee guided visualisation for you.  

Did you remember to pick?

Come have a look.

FLOW

A meandering river is a waterway that curves, bends, turns, and seems to swing side to side as it flows forward.  Viewed from above it looks sinuous and even snakelike.  Meandering rivers are dynamic as they wind their way across valley floors and bring life-giving sediment to new habitats.

The word meander was derived from the ancient Meander River, which flows into the Aegean Sea.  The Greeks created symbols for “meander” that have been described as some of the most important symbols for ancient Greek culture; they represented the fluid movement of water and the eternal flow of all life.  The twisting patterns were also thought to represent the serpent which was the symbol of healing, hence our present day symbol for doctors is the caduceus.

What does this sacred landscape want you to know?

There are times to hold on tight to the shore, and there are times to enter the flow.  Notice where life is going and move in that direction,  Watch for signs and follow them.  Don’t resist.

When you go with the flow, your life-force expands and healing on all levels abounds.  

This is also the time to release old, limiting patterns, forgive, and let go of the need to be right about your beliefs.  If you aren’t feeling the smooth currents of life, it might mean that you’re being self-critical and judgmental.  

When you enter the flow with gratitude and love, you will find blessings surrounding you.  You will enter into a state of grace, and healing will abound.  

ENLIGHTENMENT

Our beautiful home galaxy is so large that if you traveled at the speed of light, it would take you 100,000 years to go from one end to the other. (It is small compared to some galaxies – for example, the Hercules A galaxy would take 1.5 million years to cross at the speed of light.)

The realm of galaxies is so vast and so wide that it is beyond human comprehension, which is why the galaxy often symbolises great enlightenment as well a faith in the forces much greater than us.

So what does this sacred landscape want you to know?

Enlightenment occurs when one steps out of the confines of an ordinary definition of self and expands into a greater awareness of the self within the Universe.  You are now reaching into the invisible realm of Spirit and connecting with what  you cannot see.  Forces beneath the surface are supporting you on your journey.  

Have FAITH in yourself!  You are so much more than you believe yourself to be. Have patience that there is a plan unfolding.  The sky’s the limit!  You are entering into a time of expansive transformation in a luminous and remarkable way.  

Trust that the changes ahead are for the greater good, for most certainly they are.  And if you ever doubt, step outside and let the stars remind you!

SECURITY

In ancient times, our forebears took refuge in caves.  It was there that they could seek shelter from the weather and be protected from predators and enemies.  The cave offered a safe place to prepare food, sleep, heal, and build community.

Caves were also the places where sacred spiritual ceremonies occurred, evidenced by cave drawings and altars that had been built along the ledges.  Symbolically, caves often represented a secret pathway to the underworld, the divine womb of Mother Earth, and the sacred heart.  Also, caves can be energy portals for shamans or other spiritual explorers.  

What does this Sacred Landscape have to share with you?

You are safe and protected.  No matter what is occurring in your life, you are in safe hands.  Those in the realm of Spirit are watching over you.  You can relax and let go.

Once you’ve taken measures to protect  yourself and those you love – such as making sure everyone has their seat belt on in the car, making  sure your insurance is paid on time, or replacing the filter on your heating unit – then let it go!

If you have been hypervigilant lately, take a break.  Relax; know that all is well  You can turn it all over to the Creator.  And when you forget, breathe into the warm, welcoming cave that is held in your heart!

Wowzer, what glorious messages for this week.  How did yours resonate for you?  So gorgeous one, I wish for you a wonderful week filled with Hope, Flow, Enlightenment and Ease.  Big hugs and squeezes!  (And Remember to Remember). See you in two weeks.

Samhain, a Time to Dance in the Liminal and Talk With Your Ancestors.

· ·

Happy Mischievous, Mysterious, Melodious, Magnificent, Manifesting, Magnetic, Moony, Marvellous Monday!

How has the Eclipse energy been treating you?  

We had the Taurus Blood Moon eclipse on Saturday and so many people were reaching out saying “this is tough, WTF!”

Okay, let me give you some Coles Notes on this Eclipse as it ties in with Samhain (which is tomorrow!)  Yes, this was a Taurus Full Moon Eclipse, but it’s on the axis of Taurus and Scorpio.

Scorpio is stagnation energy, shadow work and this whole eclipse is inviting you to purge, purify, detox and slow the fuck down.  Pay attention to what’s being revealed or you will miss the magic.  

Shadow work is where the gifts are and most of us spend 60% of our energy keeping the trapdoor closed on any “shadow work” as we perceive it as negative.  It’s not! 

This is the time of Shadow work, Ancestral Work, Womb Work, a deepening in and an inward journey.  Just saying.  It’s also the time to work with the gorgeous archetype of Hekate as she sits at the crossroads.  

We had a glorious gathering in Creatrix Circle yesterday to walk into the energy of Samhain, invited in Hekate and the Ancestors.  

With Samhain happening tomorrow you need to understand (or not).

We are beckoned to connect more deeply with our inner worlds and the ancestral realms.

The ancestors are near.

The ancient ones are communing with us in long-forgotten tongues.

They are speaking through the fire—through the crackle of wood, the dance of smoke, the burning of herbs.

They are helping us to remember who we truly are and the ancestral medicine we hold.

The elements are our ancestors, too, holding us in the eternal memory of what it means to be children of the earth.

If you have a loved one that has crossed over, on Samhain night say a special prayer, or do something to remind you of them. Eat their favourite food, or light a candle in their name.

And beyond reaching out to passed loved ones, make time to acknowledge the “deaths” both great and small in your life. There are so many things that have “died” this year, so honour the ones that matter most to you, even if they are a little painful.

Look to nature for guidance, as it is always showing us how it dies and rebirths itself again and again. 

What if on Samhain you chose to release stuffing your shadows and really embrace, love and trust all the different parts of you that work together as you live your most creative, honest and beautiful life?

What if you actually remember and embrace all you are – a wholeness?  Remembering the important life lessons that have come our way, such as: – I remember that masks that stay on too long will stick to my skin.  I remember I always have a choice.  I remember that if I am asked to keep a piece of me hidden, this is not where I belong.  It’s about diving into your core values and living them.   

So, when I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide and teach this week I nearly snorted tea out of my nose when I saw who was most adamant.  (Seriously you can’t make this shit up!) 

This is the first time these guides have come out to play in public.  I will say it is one of the sets I have been using everyday since they insisted on taking them home (which funnily enough was 10 minutes before a Baba Yaga play.) And interestingly enough 4 of them wanted to join!

They use the word W.I.T.C.H – woman in total control of herself, and in a nutshell (as we are doing a brief into today).  They invite you to become a disciple of inner devotion, resurrect the silver salvation of self-respect, believe in yourself and your wild holy heart like it’s a sovereign religion.  As it is.  And the world needs more missionaries.  

Thus with the thought of wholeness, reclaiming the energy that you use to hide pieces of  yourself or your pain, that sense of release –  close your eyes down and just breathe.  Just breathe, trust and allow this all to swirl.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug.

If you need a bit more guidance, come find your ancestors – as they have much to share with you.  

Did you remember to pick?

Come see what the guides want to share with you.

THE RESCUER

Killer empathy is real.  Most women never identify it, let alone unravel its suffocating grasp on their lives.  

While empathy is a superpower, it is a double-edged sword.  It enables you to be considerate of and cooperative with others, but on the other side of empathy is the rescuer, who, in her compassion, is determined to save those she loves and that which she cares about most.

This will lead her to sacrifice her time, energy and other resources in the name of fixing, saving, solving, helping and otherwise rescuing those people and situations she feels have a great need.

This side of empathy cuts deeply into her life force, often resulting in the haemorrhage of her time, vitality and creativity.

A W.I.T.CH, however, knows that her empathy must have boundaries.  

She helps those who help themselves, jumping in to assist rather than save or fix.  She trusts that others have their own guides and their own soul’s code to assist their journey, just as she does.

She’s willing to resist the impulse to care-take or rescue, allowing others the opportunity to grow, expand, and develop their own agency.  

Now is the time to resist the urge to manage another’s experience and keep your precious empathic energy in balance.  

THE PREDATOR

You know that voice of the psyche that wants you to comply or conform in order to fit in, or shames you for being selfish, or tells you it’s honourable and responsible to deny your longing, demanding you fold your dreams away into a people serving shaped box?

It’s a predator you adopted as a family.

The voice condemning and convincing you that following your desires will hurt other people?  

It’s inside you.

The call is coming from inside the house.

That predator is an unholy inquisitor.  He might have first showed up outside of you in your original home, church or school, and most certainly in our culture as a whole.

But he is now alive as the inner patriarchy.

It’s the force that wants to control you in order to keep you small and unthreatening.  

It’s moved into the psyche, as it does generation after generation, if left unquestioned.   

A W.I.T.C.H. knows it’s purposeful to speak truth to power, to stand up and march for justice, fairness and decency.  But she is also determined to march on behalf of the girl inside of her living with a monster.

She is willing to take to the inner streets to clean up the injustice of bullying thoughts, blaming self-talk, and name-calling.

She speaks up for fairness when the internal predatory voice demands she please everyone else before herself.

She embodies fierce decency when her dreams or hungers or passions are shamed and belittled from within.  

It is time to take a stand against the unholy inquisition of the psyche, and develop the tools to defeat the toxic patriarchy living there.  

You deserve nothing less.

DISCIPLE OF RITUAL

You are connected to all things. 

Remembering this is part of your empowerment.  Forgetting it is part of your diminishment.  

When we honour our Earth as Mother, our Sky as Father and praise the wind cousins, the water ancestors, the stone family and the fire friends, we are taking our place in the great family.  

The animistic way of being in the world is remembering that spirit lives in all things, not just humans.  

This is a time to remember ritual as an act of inclusion.  Ritual is your way of acknowledging your part in the Great Family.

Accept its blessings and be grateful for the ways life conspires to bless you.  

The sun creates enough energy in one day to run all the machines of the planet for more than a thousand years.  

There’s more oxygen available than you can ever breathe.  

The water on this planet was the same water available to the dinosaurs, to Mary Magdalene, to Gandhi.  

The planet you were born to is genius in both generations and regeneration.

We are sharing or squandering its riches, and the potential of our own psyche, in any given moment.

A W.I.T.CH. understands that when she praises the sunrise and sings to the moon, she is joining creation’s ongoing conversation.

She is unafraid to petition these forces for support and alliance, but starts first with the gratitude of all the blessings she didn’t have to earn:  a place on the planet that is distinctively hers, with an abundance of natural resources she didn’t have to create.

Now is the time for ritual.

Put your gratitude and prayers into song or dance or the quiet intensity of a candle flame.

It doesn’t matter how you create a sacred moment for ritual, just that you do it.

Now is the time.  

LADY OF PERPETUAL REBIRTH

Death comes for all of us.  

But this isn’t a death card; it’s a rebirth card.

It’s an invitation to clean and clear out what needs to end, in order to welcome the new.

What ideas or beliefs have become weighty?  Overwhelming?  Outdated?  What thoughts no longer fit you?  What convictions cause exhaustion or illness when you embody them?

Our Lady of Perpetual Rebirth is here to usher out the old and midwife the new.  Pay special attention to your dreams.  There are signs and symbols showing themselves to you right now that will indicate what wants to be loosened  and released.  

The new vision, new awareness, new life that is circling you right now will also send out strong signals.  Pay attention.  

Listen, watch, observe.  This is a time to let go of what no longer serves.

A W.I.T.C.H. can welcome death with the same enthusiasm a moth displays when flying into fire.

She hurls herself towards her own endings, knowing her next beginnings live inside the fire of her passion, the heat of longing calling her forward.

Are you listening?

Holy Hannah, if those don’t make your jaw drop as super clear guidance messages at this time, then I have no clue what will.  Wishing you a wonderful liminal time, I hope you peel off the masks and embrace your whole self.  If you need more support with this celebration the Magickal Book of Samhain is available for one more week.  Huge hugs and squeezes!

The Veil is Thinning, Samhain is Coming, When Nature and Eclipse energy Collide!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Misty, Mizzly, Magnificent, Musical, Manifesting Monday!

Hello my darling, how was the Libra New Moon Lunar Eclipse for you?  I got up bright and early and yomped off to a glorious craggy spot that faces the East and watched what I could whilst the dogs cavorted – ignorant of the energy that was flooding in!

But the energy was intense and it was fascinating to note the change in the suns colour and the temperature.

Remember that New moons represent new beginnings – one cycle has come to a close & a new one begins. It’s a powerful time to start something new, plant new seeds you want to grow in your life. New Moons initiate new ideas.. They bring new dreams to life. With this solar eclipse something new is beginning in a larger, profound way. A major chapter in your life is coming to a close and a new one is beginning.

The solar eclipse helps expose deeper parts of yourself, so you start a new chapter more aligned with your soul. It’s here to help your truest, most authentic self emerge. It gives permission to the parts of yourself you usually hide away to step forward in the light of day.

The Sun represents your ego – it’s the mask you wear in the world; and the Moon is your shadow, the part of yourself you keep hidden. During the solar eclipse, darkness falls on the Sun & your shadow is revealed in the light of day.

Lunar eclipses usher in change, they can be a time of massive transformation – time of expansion & evolution.

Lunar eclipses are powerful teachers. If changes need to be made in your life, the lunar eclipse will set those things in motion. It pushes things along sometimes causing abrupt endings & changes – whether you want it, or not.

Lunar Eclipses bring things to the surface so they can be cleared away.

What’s been coming up for you recently? Has the Universe been nudging you to release something in your life?

I imagine it has! This is important work at this time of year. Autumn is all about releasing old patterns, mindsets, ways of living that no longer serve us.

The seasonal energy & the eclipse energy are really colliding right now. They are aligning to support you in this transformative, brave, difficult work of letting go whatever we are needing to release in our lives – in order to move into the next chapter in our lives.

Just look at the trees around you, the leaves are changing colour and starting to gently release their hold on the branches.

So guess what? With all of this happening it means that Halloween/Samhain is coming! (You should see my happy dance!) 

I love, love, love Halloween, it is my most favourite celebration. The pumpkin carving, the costumes, the terrorising small children when they come for sweeties and the decorating.

You should see all the fun creations I have been making to decorate the front yard with!  I will tell you about them next week.  And you will be able to see photos of them on my Instagram.  

Now, many of you have already started asking if there is going to be a Magikal Manual for Samhain (Halloween), you bet!  It will be available next weekish.  So if you are part of our wonderful email community you will hear about it.  

Now you may have heard people say “Samhain is coming and the veil is thinning.“

But what does that actually mean?

Let’s begin this exploration by considering that on one level, we are each separate beings with our finite little lives. But on a truer level, we are each infinite and eternal. We have no beginning and no end. And we are one with each other and every single thing. At Samhain, that relentless, all-pervasive Mystery is as close as it ever gets. And now we’ve arrived at what we mean when we say “the veil is thin.” 

You might say the veil is the place where the everyday illusion of separation brushes up against the divine truth of eternity and universal interconnection. The place where form meets spirit, seen meets unseen, known meets unknown.

When we meditate or perform ritual, or when we have a mystical experience of any variety, this curtain parts and we are able to gaze into the place of power, the place between the worlds.

Okay, enough chuntering on let’s crack on with the reading!  When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide, heal and support this week I was delighted to see that The Spirit of the Animals Oracle chose to shine.  

So in case you may have never met them, let me introduce you.  “Animal Medicine, Animal Totems, and Animal Mascots have had cultural significance throughout our history.  Europeans adopted animals as tribal symbols that were later incorporated into crests for nations.  China has an animal associated with every birthday.  The Romans celebrated the eagle as the symbol for the empire. 

Our ancestors observed the appearance of animals as omens and signs.  Shamans and mystics rely on spirit animal helpers.  Native Americans have vision quests to discover their personal animal totem.  School sports teams choose animal mascots.  It is no wonder that the interest in animals as emblems and how they relate to us still persists.  Animals as symbols live in our deepest memory.”

Wonderful!  So my darling one just settle in.  Allow your breath to bring you back into your body and call back all the pieces of you that you may have left in various places throughout the last week.  Just breathe them all back to your core, like welcoming in little sparks of starlight.  

To help you with this, there’s a lovely guided visualisation where we shall go for a little walk together, yes?

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go and have a look shall we?

LIZARD

Lizard is an Ancient One.  They are reptiles from an older time.  Their quick action and quirky maneuvers outwit and confuse their adversaries.  Lizards survive.

Lizard is sometimes called the “little dragon”.  Lizard medicine has the power of regeneration and transformation.  Lizards can shed their skin, their tail, let go of the past and step into a positive future.  Lizard people know they can survive anything and heal against incredible odds.  They are powerful dreamers and should pay attention to messages that come from their subconscious.  You can receive warnings that will help you avoid pitfalls.

If Lizard has chosen you, you have the “little dragon” within.  Dragons are those who are free of the limitations of the past and transform into greater awareness of self and personal power.  With Lizard medicine, you can transcend injury and hardship.  Lizard people re-grow and renew themselves into wholeness.

As a survivor you are unparalleled,

No matter what happens you can adapt.

Embrace your transformation.

Put on your new cloak,

You are a master of regeneration.  

PEACOCK

The Peacock is the most iridescent of all birds.  Their feathered cloak of blue, aqua and gold is worthy of royalty.  Their boisterous cries hold both mockery and laughter, which comes from their regal self-confidence.  Peacocks are blessed with clear vision that notices the smallest detail.  Because of their ability to eat poisonous snakes, Peacocks were used as protectors in ancient temples. 

If Peacock appears good luck will follow.  The feathers of Peacock are symbols for protection, prosperity and sensuality.  The Peacock is a symbol for rebirth and new beginning like its cousin the elusive Phoenix.

If Peacock has walked into your life you have a colourful and vibrant personality that is sure to win admirers.  You can raise yourself to great heights of brilliance in your field.  Peacock people have the gift of observation and keen perception.  Your inner vision brings you wisdom and foresight.  You must guard against letting your vanity or pride get the better of you. 

The best Peacocks are just their authentic selves.  Your positivity and radiance helps lift others up to realise their own worth.

You were born to shine and inspire.

Practice humility to avoid jealousy.

Be grateful for life

And more good things will come.

Be true to yourself and 

Recognise your brilliance.  

OWL

Owl is the messenger and revealer of secrets.  The totem of oracles and seers, Owl sits on their shoulder and is their advisor  When Owl flies into your life know that a time of unveiling is at hand and the truth will be made known.  Change is in the wind. 

Owl medicine can help you release the past and fly into a better future. 

Owls are creatures of the night.  Their silent flight and superior vision make them supreme hunters.  They capture the prize.  If they cross your path repeatedly it is a warning to review your situation and see where deception is lurking.  To see an owl can be an omen that a profound change is coming.

If Owl is your totem you are an Old Soul.  You succeed with wisdom.  No one can deceive you and you see into others’ souls.  Be sure to keep your knowledge secret unless asked to provide counsel.  Trust should not be broken. 

Ask your Owl totem to sit on your shoulder and guide you.  Become the conscious student of Owl.  Embrace your gifts and fly with the  masters

Choose to know the truth because you can.

Open your inner vision.

You can see through deception.

Let the past go and make room for a better life.

Rise up, Magick and Wisdom are your birthright.  

Oh my Goddess!  Perfect guides for this week.  Regeneration, Vibrance and Magick!  Whoot!  So darling one, have a fabulous week.  Big hugs and squeezes and remember to go dance in the leaves and pick a Pumpkin!
