The Last Week of “Summer” and How a Panic Attack can make you Forget it’s all Okay!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Mystical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Did you take some time to set your New Moon Intentions?  You still have time and if you want to explore what playing with New Moon Magick and Intentions that Manifest looks like.  I talk about what New Moon energy is and how to use it here. 

And if you want an easy (but intentional and amazing) ritual for this Virgo New Moon (trust me, you will have everything you need in your home) I have that for you here.

If you remember, last week we talked about Joy and I loved all the amazing emails and messages that you sent it sharing how you were feeling and how talking about a “Joy Meter” really resonated.  

A reader did write in with this and ask me this question:

“You talked about Joy and it really got me thinking about my life.  If I look around my life, it’s pretty good.  I have a nice home, a great family, a good circle of friends, but my Joy level is low.  I have long Covid (so a lot of fatigue), do I have to “go out and do big activities to feel Joy?”

Fabulous question and the answer is NO!

Remember, there is a huge difference between Joy and Happiness.

Happiness is caused by an externality, Joy is an inside job.  

Joy is not based on externalities, for example you get a new car, you don’t feel Joy, you feel happy.  As you drive the car, relish and remember how you saved for what you wanted, feel the safety, revel in the heated leather seats –  you start to feel Joy when you drive the car, not because of the car per se, but because of the experience.    Does that make sense?

Okay, so let’s say you agree it’s an inside job.  Now what?  From my experience, the more you feel anything the more it becomes a default.  So if you continually feel that the world is out of whack or that there is something wrong with you as you don’t feel Joy and Passion every moment of the day – guess what?  That’s your default.  So it is time to gently, and with massive compassion,  deconstruct that default.  

It’s all about shifting the perceptual lens from which you look at life through.  

An example.  On Friday I had the worst panic attack I have had in nearly 5 years.  As I took a break in the middle of my work day and took Danu for a yomp, out of nowhere came this panic attack and  I was pretty sure that I was dying.   I immediately went to the place of “Fuck I’m having a heart attack and I will die on the side of the road and Danu will be scared and get hit by a car!”  (Not a helpful thought).  All the tools flew out the window in a flood of cortisol and I forgot that this was transitory and  I was actually okay!

The cars nearby sounded too loud, the sun was too bright and everything felt very sharp and edgy.  Have you ever felt that?  Have you ever had a random panic attack?

Needless to say I didn’t die (or I am writing this from a totally different place!) Lol  And once I had the panic under control and had given the anxiety and fear (that had flooded up out of nowhere) a little bop on the nose.  I was able to breathe again.

So I took myself out to the garden and just sat and looked around for all signs and things that bring me Joy.  To bring me back to that place of connection.  

As let’s be honest when you are flooded with a panic attack, anger, despair the connection gets thrown out the window.

What did I see, smell, hear or taste that brought me Joy?

I saw the hummingbirds who kept dashing in to suck up some of the sweet nectar of the wildflowers.  I heard the massively fat squirrel chatter away at Kali (the cat) whilst he dashed up one of the Garry Oaks.  I could smell the honeysuckle (that is now in its fourth bloom this year!)  I sipped on my lovely cuppa lavender tea, and watched the 12ft sunflowers allow their heads to bob and flow with the breeze.  

I kicked off my shoes and put my feet on the earth and breathed in that delicious healing energy and I could feel the Joy and Ease flooding in.  

Did it cost me any money?  No.

Was it “active”, yes in the way that I was participating in and with everything around me, but I didn’t need to leave my garden.  

The key thing was, as frigging scared and freaked out by a random panic attack that made me feel vulnerable, less than and weak.  I could shift the lens that I was looking at life through and remember to look for and EXPECT (intention) Joy to show up all around me, and it did.

Okay, I have chuntered on long enough.  Let’s crack on with the reading.  

When I asked the cards who wanted to talk and guide this week I laughed to see that it is the  delicious Spirit of the Animals.  

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.”

Okay delicious lovely, take a gorgeous deep breath and allow your shoulders to drop and your jaw to gently relax.  I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a place of stillness, a place filled with ease and flow, a place where you feel connected to earth and source.  From the place pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you Remember to Pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

PENGUIN

Authentic

Penguin is the bird that cannot fly but instead swims.  They can see better underwater than on land, symbolising better access to the subconscious mind than usual.  

Penguins are full of surprises just like the people they represent.  The males and females experience role reversals.  Male penguins will sit on the eggs for months while their female counterparts hunt for food.  

Penguin urges you to adapt to extreme circumstances, break free from expectations and reinvent yourself.  Penguin says adapt, change, find your tribe, sing and celebrate your uniqueness.

Penguin people often feel awkward or out of place.  Tapping into Penguin energy can help you embrace your differences.  Self – acceptance is a big part of Penguin medicine.  They remind us that there is no right way to be!

Like all diving birds, Penguin relates to the truth that lies below the surface.  Maybe Penguin is telling you to go below, find your deeper truth and your most authentic self.  

These are things in life that really matter.  Finding like minded people (your tribe) will help you see your beauty as you see theirs.  

The wisdom of Penguin asks you to just be the unique and colourful person that you are!

Break free from others’ expectations.

Love your uniqueness.  Just be Yourself!

PRONGHORN

Action

While it is often called an antelope, the pronghorn is a unique species native to North America.  Their thick hide protects them from the cold and predators.

Pronghorns’ energy, quick wit and speed are their gifts.

They never drop their antlers, which like antennas represent connection spirit, psychic abilities and intuition.  

For Pronghorn, these gifts remain a constant in their lives.  Their strong sense of smell and hearing helps them know when things are not right.

If Pronghorn has come to you, you are energetic and have an agile mind.  You will have all you ever need.  Your intuitive gifts help keep you alerted to danger when you listen.

There is a new path on offer, use your keen eyesight to find the way. In other words, the Antelope meaning reminds you to make your decisions wisely by using your instincts rather than your intellect

Pronghorn people are ultimate adaptors and possess the power of survival.  If Pronghorn crosses your path it is saying “Do it now, don’t wait.”  Trust your intuition, harness your courage and get ready to “take the leap.”

Your talents will always

Help you land on the pinnacle.

Your quick wit and keen senses 

Will lead you to success.

SEA OTTER

Happiness

You are being called to the spontaneous art of playful living.  

Otter people swim in the iconic watery world of their intuition and feelings.  Otter people are inclusive and welcome the company of family, tribe and community.

Otter people know how to “go with the flow” and master celebrating life with simple things.  

Otter energy is the playfulness of a child, available to us at any age.  They have a giddiness and reverence for life itself, without the presence of doubt, worry, or skepticism.

Are you fighting life’s currents?  

Imagine yourself with a little more Otter energy.  What would life look like?  What would it take to bring you there?

Your inner child needs room to frolic and play and if you let it out, you will be sure to enjoy life and not simply endure it.  Let Otter lead you to all that is good in the world: happiness, abundance, friends and love.  The celebration awaits!

Be the master of playful living.

Release expectations and enjoy every day.

Let worry go and instead choose love.

Surrender to the waves.

Your good destiny of love is sure.

What glorious guides for this week as we head into September! Wishing you a stupendous week filled with Ease, Love, Joy and Remembering – You are okay! Big hugs and squeezes!

Lions Gate Portal and Sturgeon Full Moon – Ch, Ch, Changes…….

· ·

Happy Magickal, Mischievous, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!  

Thank you so much for all the wonderful messages and emails with regards to your Luscious Lughnasadh Companion Gift.  It tickled me pink to hear about how you were celebrating, journaling and which rituals you tried.  (My sister would have been very happy!)

Okay, we have a lot to cover and explore this week as today is the Lions Gate Portal and we have the glorious Sturgeon Super Moon in Aquarius on Thursday the 11th, so the energy has been off the charts.  So let me ask – how are you?  How are you feeling?

Many in our lovely community and in Creatrix Circle have shared all the unusual physical symptoms they have been having  from feeling incredibly unwell (which was me all last week), to fatigue, feeling as if the top of their head wasn’t there, chest pains etc.  Let alone the most random external experiences that were occurring.  One client thought she was going quite bonkers, but when we talked about the energy and I tapped into hers we found a solution to keep her grounded.  

So if you have been feeling off, odd or just very itchy, twitchy, bitchy or spacey – KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  

The energy of August involves a lot of change, allowing yourself to release past wounding, large life evaluation and practicing proactive resilience.  

The words Courage, Determination and Flexibility would stand you in good stead this month.  

So let’s look at what the Lion’s Gate Portal is and how to use the energy to support you this month shall we?

The lion’s gate portal opens every year on August 8 (so the 8th of the 8th), when the Sun, Sirius and Earth take their perfect places for this energetic shower.  Sirius is the 2nd brightest star and is sometimes called our “Spiritual Sun” and is known for her energy giving powers.

This creates a glorious portal of manifestation.  

Eight is known as the powerhouse number, and it acts as a bridge between the material and spiritual realms. It’s also the number of power and wealth.  So having a double 8 is quite auspicious.  

Now  you have a quick nutshell version of what the Lion’s Gate Portal is – how can you actualize all of this powerful eight-energy?

The portal opens in Leo season so play with your inner Leo (even if you aren’t one).  The sign of Leo contains and represents love, generosity, leadership, and creativity.  

Focus on love.  Allow the Lion’s Gate Portal to open the portal in your own heart.  Do things that bring you joy!

Prepare for massive shifts.

Tap into your spiritual side.

Practice gratitude.  The more love and gratitude you pour out in the world, the more it comes back to you multiplied.  

Next up is the glorious Sturgeon Super Moon in Aquarius on August 11th.  This Moon is named the Sturgeon Moon to symbolize and represent the freshwater fish that were easily caught during this hot summer month in North America. 

Have you ever seen a Sturgeon?  They are so frigging impressive and look prehistoric and can be traced back over 200 million years!  

Sturgeon can grow to be quite large in size and often live to be over 100 years old.

So – align your spiritual intentions this month with the strong and impressive sturgeon. They’ve survived millions of years by adapting and persevering through many different challenges. You are just as powerful and resilient whether you realize it or not.

The symbol for Aquarius is the Water Bearer, symbolically and eternally giving life and spiritual food to the world. The water from the vessel washes away the past, leaving room for a fresh, new start. 

The sign of Aquarius is forward-looking and growth-oriented.  Take this opportunity to let go of old pain, release what bogs you down, and open your mind to renewed flexibility and clarity.  Great waves of life are flowing all around us at this time.  

August is a powerful month of releasing and reevaluating your life.  It’s time to let go of anything that is holding you back because you want to be open and ready for the new energies that are coming in at this point in the year. 

So with that glorious energy in play, that both meld together –  let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the glorious cards and asked who wanted to guide and support you this week I was delighted to see some new guides who wanted to show and shine.  

In case you have never met them, please let me introduce you (as not to is rude!)

These glorious guides give you needed glimpses into your everyday life and help you see where changes can be made to enhance your life here on Earth.  There is so much more to our world than we often perceive.

There exist many dimensions and numerous beings that reside in these realms.  All of these elemental beings are interconnected with us.  We do not live independent of one another but are interdependent.  These wonderful beings are here to help.

They not only take care of the Earth, but they work hard to take care of us.  We are familiar with many of these beings, such as angels, faeries, and elves.  There are many more we are not conscious of, but they, nevertheless, contribute to the workings of our planet.  Remember as you go through  your day, to ask for help from the elemental world whenever you need it.  The need is never too small to call on their help.  It is through helping us that they advance in their spiritual development.  We are their work.  We in turn can spiritually evolve through allowing them to help us.  To all these amazing beings we say Thank You.

Okay, let’s just take a moment and I invite you to take a lovely deep breath in.  In through the nose, out through the mouth with a glorious sigh.  Breathe yourself back here to this moment.  Allow the worries to drop like water droplets down to the earth to nourish something new.  Then, when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at you.

If you want a little bit more of a “tune up”, let’s go play with water in a lovely guided visualisation.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look.

ALWAYS

The keyword here is Infinity.  

To truly understand life, you must understand that you have always been…and always will be.  You are a part of the Divine Source that rules the Universe.  Your spirit and your soul are immortal.  As the physical body passes from existence your energy body survives, eventually to move back to join with the Spirit.  Your connection to the Divine Spirit is never severed.  

You are never alone.  You are always connected to the Source.  You are the vehicle through which the Divine Spirit manifests on Earth.

Understand your divinity and your importance on Earth.  Appreciate that every other being on Earth is equally important to the Divine Plan.   You may have a desire or wish for a special person in your life who will promise to always be there for you.  First, you must always be there for yourself!

Perhaps in the past those who should have stuck by you did not.  Those you thought were true were not.  Release old pain and habit patterns and allow your highest good to manifest in your life.

Express your gratitude for you!!

This primes the pump for a real lasting relationship.  And always remember the elementals that are helping you along the way.  Their devotion to you is infinite and unwavering.

“I ever was,

I always will be.

I am Infinity.

My soul reaches out far beyond this shell,

Within me Spirit has a place to dwell.

I am.

So be it!”

Play a song over and over and over again.

FAIRIES

Think of the Spirit Realm and the realm of faeries and the faery within you.

You are being invited to use your inborn ability to tap into spirits of the mystical realm.  You may find that you are enhanced with an otherworldly, magickal, faerylike quality.  You may come from a long line of faery ancestors, carrying the bloodline of ancients.  Others may notice something just a bit different about  you.

The word eccentric might come to the minds of some who are acquainted with you.  But do you care?  No!  And that is how it should be!

You may see, hear and know things others do not.  Administering healing energy may be your talent.  There is a special twinkle in your eye…these are the eyes that can see faeries, and communicate with all the elementals.  You work with the heavenly as well as the Earthly spirits.  You are a gifted person…..intuitive and capable of easily channeling the energies of the Universe.

Remember to always use this power for the highest good.  Always ask that you be guided in its use and that no one comes to harm through your ministering.  Remember to keep your ego out of your spiritual work, for therein lies your downfall.

Give credit where credit is due…..Spirit does the work.  

“I joyously embrace my uniqueness.

I embrace all that comes from Spirit.

I allow Spirit to move within my being 

And to assist the growth of others as well as myself.

I know that all healing comes from Spirit

And I graciously accept the gifts bestowed upon me, and as such,

I bring only honour to the name of Spirit.

So be it!”

Sprout your wings today!

TROUBLE

Honesty, such a beautiful thing.  It’s time for you to keep your eyes open and your ears alert.  Someone is not being as honest with you as they can be.  This can be a business affair or a relationship.  There is a stretching of the truth or a covering up of facts.  

You are likely to find out too late unless you pay attention.  Bring your intuition into play and combine it with fact finding.  No one can keep the wool over your eyes for very long!

It’s also an important reminder to be scrupulous with your own words and deeds.  Remember that what you send out is what you get back.  This is the law of the Universe.

Be honest with yourself.  

Trouble can almost always be avoided by paying attention, choosing your words and actions wisely, and by listening to your higher self.  

Ask the faeries and angels to help you tap into your highest and best energy!

Remember, you do not need to draw negative situations into your life.  Choose to bring joyful and positive situations instead.  Sometimes the best action can simply be no action for the moment.  

“Truth is within me.

Honest people surround me.

I am guided in all things,

To the perfect course of action.

My world is bountiful

And I work with the tool of truth, trust and attraction.

So be it!”

Stir things up today!

Oh gosh, I love these guides for this week!  Wishing you an amazing week, delicious lovely, remember to beam love (especially to yourself), dance with the Lion’s Gate Portal energy and really utilise this amazing Full Moon to release, relax and rejuvenate.  Big hugs and see you next week!

Welcome in the Buck Super Moon and remember – Pause on the Threshold, don’t push.

Happy Marvellous, Magickal, Mesmerising, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Holy hannah, it’s the second week of July!  How was your long weekend (if you were in North America?)  Did you take time to relax, play and enjoy yourself?

Personally, I celebrated my Canada Day by driving for 13 hours in the baking heat through mountain passes, then massive highways to make a ferry sailing so that I could get home in time to hike to the top of the massive rock hill behind me and sit in the dark with my dog and watch the fireworks!

I had spent the prior week back in Nelson, saying goodbye to a 29 year chapter of my life, and closing a 4 year circle that I had opened with my sister Fi.  

It was very intense, draining, emotional, stressful and also liberating.   

What was most interesting, being back in the town where I had lived so long and raised my kids, was realising the full depth of the saying “You can never step in the same spot of the river twice.”

The town had changed, it didn’t have the cosy, funky, welcoming vibe it used to, and I have changed.  So albeit it was great to see my best friend, and people I know, as well as some family, it was a pure delight to haul arse and come home, be near the ocean and surrounded by rich, lush coastal greenery.   

So as I filter these changes, and embrace all the glorious new opportunities, I’ve felt inclined to keep myself to myself, when not working with clients and Creatrix Circle, as there is a fragility filled with strength in play.  

Thus, there has been a lot of time spent out in Nature listening to the hawks and eagles, writing, pondering, harvesting herbs and flowers for winter teas, creating cool things and purging lots of old “stuff”, literally and figuratively.  It’s also the 3 year anniversary of my sister dying so there are lots of “bits” coming up. 

It’s been fascinating to watch this process unfold, and I am honouring the transition by allowing time for the feels to come up and not pushing a darn thing!  

Let’s be honest, our culture is not fabulous at honouring or marking transitions of any type.  

Whether it is a coming of age, a divorce, a loss, a win or a limbo state – it’s more a case of “get over it and get on with it”, which is not helpful.  Any transition no matter how small is a threshold and a glorious container of wisdom, liminal space and magick. 

 “A threshold is a space to imagine a new way, and a new self. Not moving or pushing but sitting and cultivating… The goal is to allow you space and time to reflect on your past, present, and future.  To imagine a new beginning…”

Rev. Sara LaWall

So this is one reason I am very much looking forward to the glorious Full Super Moon that comes to us on Wednesday, July 13th,  as there are some release pieces that I energetically feel impelled to work with, and this is the moon to support them.  

So let’s talk about this Full Moon shall we?

On Wednesday we welcome in the Capricorn Super Full Moon, also known as the Buck Super Moon.  

While the days are long, the nights are short, which makes the Buck Moon’s spiritual meaning all the more magical.

Yet, this Super Full Moon is definitely a heavier one, but there are so many jewels hidden in its depths if we are willing to dive to the bottom or climb to the top to reach them. Those that make the journey will not regret it!

As this is the second of three Super Full Moons, it is also likely that there is more to the picture and more to be revealed come August’s Super Full Moon.

“This Full Moon calls for us to take responsibility for our lives and the direction they are travelling.

If we are not happy, if we are not fulfilled, if we are not spending our time how we wish to, this Full Moon beckons us to take charge and own up to any of our self-sabotaging actions which may have led us here.

Confronting what is not working and taking responsibility for how some things have unfolded can always be challenging, but there is a power to be found in doing this work, there is a power in addressing what we may be doing to contribute and how we can turn things around to get our lives closer to where we want to be.”

Letting go, closing doors, saying goodbye can all be hard things to do, but this Full Moon is our opportunity to re-write our next chapter, to refashion our dreams and goals that didn’t work out, and to know that all we experience is a part of life and a part of making us stronger. 

There are truly no wrong paths in this life, just lessons, that make us wiser, better, and more capable human beings.

The Buck Moon is a lovely time to reflect on your life and decide what steps you’d like to take next. 

Okay, I’ve chuntered on (I am very good at doing that when something ignites me), so let’s crack on with the reading.  The cards that wiggled and jiggled made me smile as they are fabulous guides for this time.  If they are new to you, please let me introduce you:

It is time.  It is that Once Upon a Time again. Time to return to our relationship with the wild places, the wild ones, the faeries and our wildish selves.  For as we do, miracles of healing will occur.  Just as faeries cleanse and purify the water, the air, the earth, the fire and the spirit, when we reweave our sacred alliance with the faery realms, we too begin to heal.  From our sadness.  Our loneliness.  From our souls that cry out for the poetry that is the soul of the world.

If you yearn to shine once again, if you wish to reclaim the wildish self who lives at the heart of you, who knows how to be well, to be happy, to be whole…..if you wish to clear illness, guilt, and untruths from your life and truly, deeply heal and transform, then these guides are your keys to the faery realm, and there you will be reborn.  

Woosah!  Love it.  So my delicious lovely, are you ready?  

I invite you to gently close your eyes and allow your breathing to gradually slow.  Give yourself a minute or two to come to centre and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that will support you this week with this delicious Super Full Moon energy.

If you want to go a wee bit deeper and get super clear and centred prior to picking, I have a lovely guided visualisation for you.  We are going to do some demolition and construction (don’t fret, you won’t need a toolbelt).  

Did you remember to pick?

Come have a looksee.

THE LITTLEST FAERY

Little things matter.  Seeds, subatomic particles, faery rings and precious things are often very, very small.  And they often are overlooked, go unnoticed or are judged “ordinary” due to their lack of size.  But such small things have power, magick and significance far beyond their size.  

They are gifts from the world of the faeries, and as such, the more you express your gratitude and appreciation for them, the more faery blessings and magick can enter your life.

Take a look around, both with your physical eyes and with your spirit eye.  Have a delicate feel with your faery fingers, find what has been given to you and then give thanks for the little things in your life.  Be on alert for small signs coming to you.

Faeries are oftentimes tiny, but they are very strong.  

They whisper in the ear of the earth guardians and wildlife warriors, asking them to protect trees and animals.  They, being tiny and often invisible to others, are underestimated and often misunderstood.  

They are powerful beings, and though some are tiny and appear as little more than a flicker of light from the corner of your eye, or a sense that something just flew behind you, they are strong, wild and assisting us greatly.

So today, notice what is overlooked.  

Do something “small” and know that though your life itself may seem small at times, it is a powerful and magickal one, and you too  can bring many blessings to both the planet and the soul of nature.  

Break down a task into its smaller components and take baby steps.  Give thanks for each small step along the way.  Know that over the magick of time, small things grow.  Know that some things are better for being small.  They are tiny and they are treasures.  

Understand the power of gratitude in terms of growth.  Know your life is in some ways small and very precious because of this.  

THE MERLIN

When the ancient one, the Merlin comes forward to speak with you, you are speaking with all the knowledge of the ancient druids who have spent time in faery lands for years, many of whom remain there still, including the wise mentor and teacher, Merlin.

It is difficult to overestimate his depth of knowledge, his compassionate heart and his laughter.  He is part fae, part human, and all wise and loving.  

He is a teacher who comes to you with a message that you must find a teacher who claims not to know all, but who can guide you to the knowledge hidden within your own self, which seems out of reach and obscure to you at present.  

He wishes you to know that everything is your teacher, that life itself is yours to learn from, and he understands that the choices you have made have led you to him, for now, and that in time, you will part, and that too is right and good.  He is ages old, and he knows that much of your wisdom, encoded in sleeping DNA, is also ages old.  

As Merlin is a bard, you may be drawn to remembering and telling stories and tales of your own life at this time.  As he is a wizard, high magicks will attract you.  As he is a guide, you will find a mentor, and become a mentor in your own time.  As he is a keeper of natural laws, you will find you are living in tune with magickal cycles.  

You will know what is wise and what is not, and the difference between what is worth your time and what is not will shine out in sharp relief.

Clear, strong messages and a male mentor with Merlin energy may be coming into your life at this time.  Trust the messages that begin to come to you, and know you are a blending of both worlds.  

Let your wisdom come burbling up and take the time to connect to it.  Allow the mentor to come and the riddles and rhymes to delight you as you expand.

STORYKEEPER

Live your life as if it is the greatest tale ever told!

This does not mean to be intentionally dramatic, but it does mean to live imaginatively, boldly, magickally.  Many people say they wish to write a book, but what they are saying, the faeries declare, is that they wish to record their life story, their wisdom, their experiences and the lessons they have learned.  To have left this place having made a mark that has meaning.  

So, the Storykeeper is the faery being who comes to you now, showing you how she is writing down all the stories of all the peoples of the world, and yours too.  It may be time to create a story for yourself, a rewriting if you like of the faery tale that is your life, and go beyond the “happy ending” where so many leave off.  

Find the inherent wisdom beneath the surface of the story.  Which faery tale story have you been enacting?  Which archetypes are coming up for you, and how can you take the pen into your own hands and create a story?  

It’s time to seek the wisdom in your story, and change the patterns and twists that have repeated themselves and seem hackneyed and contrived.  

Carve out an original tale for yourself; create it from your dreams and adventures, and know that the Storykeeper will keep the record of your life on this earth alive for delivery to the Akashic record.  

Nothing you do is too trivial or small to be worthy of notice; all your tales and energies have an impact.  Tell your story, but most of all, live your own story.

Be original.

And keep the Storykeeper supplied with fresh new material for her book of wisdom.  

Oh my giddy Goddess, what wonderful guides for this week and the delicious Full Moon.  I invite you to take some time on Wednesday to gaze at her if you can and offer the sticky bits that you no longer desire to be turned into cosmic compost.  Don’t forget to make some moon water!  Big hugs and squeezes, see you next week.

Solstice and Pride!

· ·

Happy Magnetic, Magickal, Miraculous, Marvellous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you?  How was the delicious Strawberry SuperMoon for you?  Many of you have shared that it felt very challenging but deep (that’s not a bad thing), as there are so many shifts and changes happening in you and around you.  

But guess what?

Summer Solstice is coming, Summer Solstice is coming!  Whoot!

Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 21st, is the Summer Solstice and I am so looking forward to celebrating it.  Every year has been filled with different ways of celebrating, different rituals and different intentions/offerings and the harvest that I have reaped from these has been mind blowing!  (As in, you seriously can’t make this shit up!)

In fact at the end of this month I close the circle on a 4 year Solstice setting ritual that was amazing, challenging, but oh so worth it! I will tell you about it next week.

Thank you for all the amazing feedback on SASS – The Stupendously Abundant Summer Solstice Guide.  I’ve been tickled pink to hear how it is resonating for you and which rituals you have picked!  And yes, she is available until the 24th.  

Oh and for those that have asked, there are only 2 spots left for the Summer Solstice Reading Special.  

Summer Solstice (also known as Litha)  is all about abundance, growth, expansion.  It’s the celebration of the Sun!  

Think about it, the farmer plants the seeds in the cool of the Spring in the wet ground and as the Summer Solstice approaches things have sprouted and are reaching up as if they are doing a glorious sun salutation.  

It’s a time to watch the ripening and fruiting of the plants around us and our ideas.  This is a delicious inner fire/power celebration that acknowledges the abundance that grows from tiny seeds.  This is a time of really reclaiming your inner power and brightness and mapping out the harvest you desire for the next while.

It’s also a time of magic – Midsummer’s eve was believed to be a time when the veil between this world and the next is at its thinnest – a time of powerful forces and magical happenings, when fairies were thought to be about and at their most powerful. This otherworldly sense underpins Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, where the fairies use their magic and cause mayhem in the forest. 

This is a day of inner power, brightness, Magick, Manifestation and celebrating your Divine Masculine.  

Each Summer Solstice I celebrate in different ways with different rituals, however, one thing I always do is create/craft something to honour the gifts that I receive. 

Last year was a massive driftwood portal!  She is gorgeous.  All the pieces of driftwood are woven together. I wove ivy around her (keeping the roots in the ground) and then put tiny fairy lights onto her, and built an incredible rock stairway for her approach.  And it’s so fun to see how the ivy is growing around her a year later.  

This year, I needed a chair!  

Every morning as the sun is rising I make a cuppa and go sit outside.  I have a particular chair that is tucked in a corner and protected from the elements where I watch the world wake up, listen to the birds, and I set my intentions for the day.  Sad to say, my old chair died – split straight up the middle which made sitting on it tenuous.  

So I went to the Habitat for Humanity store, found a glorious wooden chair in the style that I wanted.  One where the seat is big enough that I can sit cross legged and brought her home.  Then the fun happened.

She was sanded and painted a super gorgeous fiery red, and then beautifully adorned with swirls, flowers and energy flow symbols, and then sealed.  I am so looking forward to sitting on her for morning tea!  I was so enchanted with the design that I made that I’m now creating a  glorious Solstice Faery house!  

So however you choose to mark the Solstice, take pride in who you are, the changes you have moved through in the last 6 months and celebrate your gorgeous inner fire!  You are so worth it!

And speaking of Pride…………

Where I live June is Pride month, a time to celebrate the diversity of the human package that we come in.  I have to say, I love it!  As an ally I honour each person’s right to choose who they are, how they identify and who they choose to love.  

When I was a teen in Oxford, most of my closest friends were people who were a good 15 years older than me, and gay men.  Gosh!  I had so much fun, I learned a lot and I always felt safe, loved and appreciated.  There was a lovely chap called Gaz who was an incredible illustrator and would create the most magickal, whimsical imagery for children’s books and he would share the most amazing stories with me.  He was a very special person.  

Thus, I always try to help out in some way for Pride, however with Covid we haven’t had a parade in 3 years, but this year we do!  This Sunday there is a massive Pride parade with floats, displays, music and all sorts.  I have volunteered to take care of a booth/tent at the festival.  But what to wear?  Lol

Thankfully I have an amazing niece who went through her tickle trunk of costumes and odds and bits and I am going to look sparkly, colourful and sassy as heck!  I have bubble wands galore to play with and I am thoroughly looking forward to playing, supporting and helping out at Pride.  

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the guides and cards to ask who was willing to support and guide this week – there was no choice whatsoever.  Isis Oracle were adamant and if you think about it – the perfect energy for this time.  

Now if you don’t know these amazing guides, please let me introduce you.  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.”

Yes!!!!!!!  “Shine and be your radiant self,  filled with power and wisdom.”

Okay delicious lovely, let’s just settle for a moment shall we?  Just breathe yourself back into your body, calling back any pieces that you have left lying around during the day or the week.  Breathe long and deep and allow in your mind’s eye the energy of the sun to fill you, to pour liquid gold energy through you – soothing, nourishing and cleansing.  

When you feel relaxed and ready, pick the card or cards that whisper to your wise self, your radiant self, your powerful self.  

Did you remember to pick?

Come take a look.  

DIVINE GUARDIAN

Protection of the Winged Mother

You are venturing through a time of significant spiritual growth and healing.  There are many changes occurring internally and they will be reflected in your external world soon also.  You are protected during these times by the love and strength of the Winged Mother, Lady Isis.  You can relax and allow your transformation to happen.  Let your Divine Guardian protect you now, as you learn to let go and trust in your own unfoldent for the greatest good.

Big spiritual growth can bring difficult challenges.  Through such challenges, an Initiate can gain wisdom, power and awareness, and leave behind fears that once held them captive, free from past restrictions, free to live a life that is truly extraordinary and inspirational.  Yet the challenges can feel deeply confronting.  The Initiate may be tested to stay true to their own beliefs even if their loved ones do not understand or support them.  Or they may be required to let go of what they have known to embrace something completely unfamiliar and this may be uncomfortable for them, and they may fear losing support, safety or friendship as they venture into a new life.  

You have been receiving impressions and inner nudges that are from your higher guidance, which has been helping you with situations that are currently unfolding in your life and will continue to do so.  You are, spiritually speaking, on the right track.  Life does not have to be fixed or even clear at all times in order for you to be safe.  Isis is with you.  All is well.  

DIVINE SISTERHOOD

Community of the Spiritual Sisters and Brothers of the Light

In a 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.

Letting the Divine Feminine nourish you now into new relationships, collaborations, community and friendships is very wise.  There are many souls with whom you have spiritual contracts decided upon before you were born who wish to help you, and whom you can help too, as you grow together in peace and light and wisdom.  Your light has value on its own of course but it is also of deep service when it is visible to others, lighting the way.

Mother Isis says that there is so much light awakening within our planet, and so much spiritual light gifted to Earth from celestial beings at this time, that it makes sense to build a large enough container to receive it.  If you had enough electricity to power a city, you wouldn’t try to fit it in one house.  Likewise, with all this spiritual electricity becoming available on the EArth, groups are needed to help it to circulate and flow.  

If you accept all of this but still cannot find your spiritual home here, and have been wondering where your community is, you are not alone!  They are looking for you too!  Say ‘yes’ to opportunities to meet like-minded people and let Isis guide you through circumstances, opportunities and spontaneous moments as you and your beloved sisters and brothers find each other together for group benefit.  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 your heart.  

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 urging 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.  

Those are some deliciously powerful messages!  How did the card you picked resonate for you? Have a stupendous week, delicious lovely.  Allow the energy of the sun to ignite your inner fire, use the energy of the Super Full Moon to open you up and celebrate your diverse unique self! And most of all have fun!  (Life is so much better when we remember to play!)   Big hugs and squeezes and flowers galore!  

Summer Solstice is almost here and your Guide and Reading Special is waiting, just for you.

Happy Miraculous, Magnificent, Moody, Melancholic, Magickal, Majestic, Moodling, Manifesting Monday!

The first Monday in June (how the heck did we end up in June already?)  Time is doing some very interesting things for sure!  But  you know what I love, love, love about June?  

Summer Solstice!  

Yup, June 21st Summer Solstice is here!

You may be thinking to yourself – um, err, what the heck Jenn, what’s the big deal, what does it matter.  Ahhh grasshopper it does matter, it matters very much.  It’s one of the biggest celebrations on the Wheel of the Year, and has been celebrated since neolithic times. 

It’s a time of power, abundance and magick, as Summer Solstice is one of the 3 days of the year when the veil is thin and the Fae come out to play!   I mean for goodness sakes even William Shakespeare wrote about it in 1596 in his play Midsummer Nights Dream (so that’s how long the magick has been around.) Muhahaha.  

Summer Solstice is the celebration of the sun, which is masculine and is the energy  of Passion, Action  and igniting your inner fire.  This is why your Summer Solstice guide is referred to as SASS!  Stupendously Awesome Summer Solstice!

And let’s be honest, at Summer Solstice with the fire and the intentions – it creates a lot of amazing Sass!

This glorious guidebook is 42 pages filled with empowering soul work, rituals to connect you to your own fire, lore, herb magick, crystal magick, body magick, a guided visualisation, spells and so much more – all to help you connect with your own inner flame & use this seasonal energy to ignite.

As the Sun is entering the height of its power this month … so are you.

With the Sun reaching the peak of its cycle, your own corresponding inner flame also has the potential to reach its peak.

Your inner flame – your own internal sun – is the source of your own fire, your power, your ability to create & take action in the outer world. All these things are being affected by the outer Sun; and all they have the potential to reach new heights this month.

With our side of the Earth (Northern Hemisphere) being flooded with the intense fiery energy of the sun, this fire gives you extra energy, extra power, expanded confidence.

Your work right now is to soak up as much of that fire energy as you can. It has the power to uplift you & empower you. It will help fuel you –in all areas of your life. 

The Summer Solstice sun will help ignite your internal fire, and inspire you to grow & mature in whatever ways you are meant to in your life.

So grab SASS and let’s go light some things up!

Many of you have emailed and asked if I am going to do a Summer Solstice reading special.  So the spiritual posse and I had a natter, felt into it and yes!

Yes, there will be two readings for Summer Solstice that will help you ignite your inner fire, passion and also release the things that no longer serve you so you can move forward with purpose.  We are going to limit the amount of readings to 21 (the same number as the Solstice this year), so it will be a first come first serve basis.  

Okay I’ve chuntered on long enough.  Let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

When I went to the cards and checked in with my delightful guides I was tickled to see who they had picked.  Of course it had to be the Fae, perfect guides for the build up of Summer Solstice energy!

So if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you to them.  

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. 

Yummly delicious!

Okay dear one, just take a breath.  I invite you to see in your mind’s eye your own inner flame.  That place of passion, excitement, power.  Watch the colours dance and play as you notice it.  Place your hand on your belly and breathe into that spot, long, slow and deep.  Allow yourself to see in the flames what you want to ignite with passion.  Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to go have a look?

MELUSINE

Love who you are

Keys are rare in the realm of spirit; but I now provide you with a key that will open the door to who you truly are.  Your true feelings about self-worth and self-love have been hidden, locked away for years, but now they will be revealed, and healed, for all time.

For there is a part of you that you feel is not suitable to be shown to others, particularly in romantic relationships.  You feel that this part of you is unacceptable and lacking in beauty.  However, this part of you, in being denied, is causing pain and guilt to surface within relationships where there need be none.

You deserve to be loved for all of you, for the parts that are claws and thorns, for your lines and your grief, for your irritability and your sadnesses.  Come forward and be revealed, and never again mistrust or reject a portion of who you are.

Embrace your scars and flaws, and see them as wonderful differences that only make you unique, and very real.  Open your heart, unlock the door and step out of the enchanted chamber in which you have hidden this aspect of who you are.

Love all of you, your body and soul, your mind and spirit, your ancestry and your trials and challenges.  You are perfect, whole and complete, with the unique stamp of this individual body and soul upon you.  

Take this key, and unlock the secret parts of you.  Let them see the light, and know that you are safer for doing so than you have ever been before, in any of your numerous lifetimes.  

HIDEKI’S DOOR

A knock on the 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.

WU-WANG

Wild, pure heart

In times of olde, they said that only those who were pure could connect with those like myself.  That the virgin could connect with the Unicorn.  That the child could see the meaning of God.  That the fae would truly see into your heart, and finding it corrupt, would never appear to you.

I am here to tell you that your heart is pure and wild and innocent.  It is that you have forgotten how to see us, that you have been told that in order to see us, you must be perfect.  That in order to see us, you must be mad, unclean, broken, and if you say you have seen us, you face being shunned.

I am here to say to you that we appear to those who have looked into their hearts and have seen beyond the woundings….because within you there is a wild and untrammelled heart space which is free of any taint.  In that space we can enter and therefore, we can and we will be seen again.  You were not born into this world wrong or sinful.  There may be karmic markings, but you are no sinner, nor are you corrupt or unworthy.  

Foster that which is wild and pure and good with you, and we will begin to appear and come forth.  You will feel us on the wind, in the water, see us in the fire and hear our voices emanating from the heart of our mother, the Earth.

You are a child of the Mother, call her what you will, and at your core you are one of the wild ones.  That is my message for you.  

Yes!!!!  Oh my Goddess, what glorious guides as we move towards Summer Solstice.  Loving Yourself, Opening New Doors and celebrating your Wild Pure Heart!  Whoot!  Positively Perfect.  So dear one, remember to pick up your SASS guide, book a reading and I will see you next week.  Happy June!
