Healing

Post Eclipse, When your Faith Tanks and playing the Thanks Game!

Happy Miraculous, Majestic, Musical, Manic, Moodling, Merry, Manifesting, Magickal Monday!

How was Eclipse for you?

Now if you remember an eclipse can generate an awareness of something larger, running the show and they poke holes in our ego/identity revealing things within us that we have been avoiding or are totally unaware of.

An eclipse uncovers things. Some we want to see and others we really don’t. Lunar Eclipses are like extra potent Full Moons. They illuminate areas of our lives that need to be cleared and swept away. They shine a light on all that no longer needs to be present with us. They reveal to us where we are holding on too tightly, and where we have to surrender and let go.

So if you have been feeling a tad vulnerable, a bit weebly – it will all be okay! Just breathe into that space and trust that as you shed old things you create space for new seeds to be sown.

For all my wonderful American friends “Happy Thanksgiving!” I have to admit that I find it a tad odd to have Thanksgiving so close to Xmas, but hey I love to celebrate most everything (ask my kids). It could be winter solstice, summer solstice, equinox, Full Moon, New Moon, Chinese New Year, Easter, Valentine’s, the sun is shining, the snow is falling – you name it!

Even simple things like the first flowers of spring, or having gorgeous flowers on my desk whilst it is grey and rainy outside. Life is a celebration and quite frankly I chose to celebrate as much as possible.

Though to be honest this week, I found it challenging to celebrate as my faith in humanity had tanked somewhat.

We have had torrential rains and the devastation they have created has been huge. Towns gone under the water, people homeless, cars caught in mudslides, huge chunks of major roads wiped out. Many areas of BC took a shit kicking to say the least.

Many people have been amazing, and really pulled together to help each other and those in need, however, the masses – wow.

The masses dropped into “Screw everyone else, it’s all about me” (like the beginning of Covid) and went into a place of panic and fear. So how did they deal with it? Panic buying and hoarding! It has been mind blowing to watch.

A woman with two grocery buggies filled with milk, (just milk), and when asked if she was buying for a restaurant, friends and family her response was “Fuck no, this is for me.” Line ups at the petrol stations that are over a 100 cars long, in fact so long they are blocking traffic and emergency vehicles and buses couldn’t get through. A chap with 40 packs of toilet paper! What on goddesses green earth do you do with 480 rolls of lou paper? People screaming and being abusive to each other or the employees in stores.

It made me shake my head and think “A nice cabin out in the woods far away from this is a great idea!”

I mean seriously! Did we learn nothing from the onset of Covid, that we are all in this together? Apparently not. So I have avoided stores and petrol stations like the plague as the frenetic selfishness and level of entitlement has been too intense. And to be honest – disgusting to watch. It’s as if a flock of locusts have descended on all the stores, yet the ironic thing is – There is No Shortage. Other than the one that has just been created by panic buying. Sigh.

So this got me to pondering and on Friday when the Eclipse happened there was a lot of releasing going on. And then I remembered the Thanks game, a fabulous game to play any time of the year, but even more appropriate with American Thanksgiving this week.

Ready to play?

I invite you (no matter where you live) to harness the energy of Thanksgiving and really give thanks for all the pieces that make up your most delicious self and life (yes, even the ones you judge harshly).

Give thanks for all the various people, places and things that you are thankful for – they could be present day, past day or future day. List them all in your mind one at a time and as you bring them into your consciousness, smile and blow them a kiss (yes, seriously blow them a kiss).

See the kiss leaving your hand and turning into a gorgeous gold butterfly that flies off to that person or part of yourself and gently lands on their right cheek and brushes them softly with your blessing, thanks and appreciation.

I sent so many lovely golden butterflies out to the amazing women in The Creatrix Circle especially as we had our very first Tea Time this weekend which was filled with laughter, sharing and empowering each other.

Now, think of all the people, places, things or situations that you have a challenge with, or that you don’t feel so kindly towards. Take a deep breath in and exhale.

Bring them up one at a time in your mind’s eye and blow them a kiss. This time as the kiss leaves your hand it turns into a delightful little pink heart filled with love and forgiveness and wings its way through the ether to gently land where it is meant to.

Another big breath in and as you exhale wrap your arms around yourself in a HUGE bear hug and see glorious golden light surrounding you like a cocoon and give thanks for your body, your heart, your soul, your mind and the delicious light that is you. Big squeeze and as you release your arms gently open your eyes and smile.

It definitely helps in any situation, but especially when stupidity seems to have taken the steering wheel of society!

So with all of that chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the guides and cards and asked who wanted to show and shine – the deck that came out loud and proud this week is The Oracle of the Divine Circus. The reason I laughed is these glorious guides are playful, but deep. They think outside the box and invite you to do the same.

If you have never met these glorious guides, please let me introduce you. “What is life if not a Divine Circus? Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us a moment earlier. Life is magical, thrilling, sometimes strange and even scary. It can inspire you and touch your soul, inviting you to discover the unique magic within you, to dare to live it, to express it, to play with possibilities and embrace what sets you apart from the crowd. “

So just settle in delicious lovely. Allow yourself to calm and to just breathe. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that pull at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

DIVINE DISGUISE

Some blessings are obvious – the door that opens, the person who says yes and the instant success of an idea. But not all blessings are instantly recognisable. Some blessings are so veiled that at first you might consider them to be an unwanted development. A concealed blessing is either already at work in your life or on its way. Don’t worry if you feel like things aren’t working out as they should. Soon enough, the disguise will be dropped, and the blessed unmasked in all its beauty.

Blessings are the mysterious workings of the universe, there to help us along our unique life path to live our truths and fulfil our potential. The universe has the knack of knowing just what it is we need, even when sometimes we might think we need something altogether different. This is how it can be that something we resist and reject in our lives can become the very thing we are most grateful for later on. We realise it has been a blessing masked, something actually helping us, even though it might have come in the form of a challenge or struggle before we eventually gain great benefit from it.

The Divine Disguise brings you the promise of peace of mind and a realisation that the universe does really know what it’s doing. It’s in your corner, on your side, cheering you on and helping you avoid unnecessary pitfalls, even if you don’t know they exist. The real beauty of a situation isn’t obvious to you yet. It could be a delay or change in plans that runs out to be in your favour, even if at the time you aren’t sure it signals failure! It could be the wrong person saying no so the right person can say yes. It could be being blocked from turning back to your past, so you must continue forward to the magic of your future.

Don’t worry. Even that which appears most troublesome is going to reveal itself to be working in your favour.

DARK HARLEQUIN

Bells are ringing from deep inside. Something that once had to hide is seeking your attention. It wants out! It wants to be free! As you release what was once shut away, your discomfort shall turn to glee. You are a spiritual adventurer! You are not afraid to go to the edge of what you know, of who you have believed yourself to be. Even when before you lies the darkness of unknown worlds, of undiscovered parts of you, even when you feel uncertainty, discomfort or doubt, you are still willing to figure out what it’s all about. This fine and fierce attitude gives you a special kind of grace, the grace to discover that you are a living, wild, divinely free and empowered force to be reckoned with in this world. That discovery sets you free from fear and unleashes you upon a path of loving wild creation and joyful abandon!

So you’ve come to a place in you, and in your life, where you don’t know. You don’t know what’s happening. You don’t know how to work through it. You don’t know who you are (well, not all of who you are). You don’t know what you don’t know. You are at the point of not knowing because you are growing. There will be surprises. There will be discoveries. You’ll feel awkward at times, like you are trying to see in the dark. You’ll wonder if you are supposed to be so confused, if you are supposed to feel like you aren’t sure who you are anymore, or even if the things that once made sense in your life are supposed to seem so fragile, as though life, once thought rock solid, actually turns out to be a house of cards. The answer, of course, is yes. Yes, it’s a royally divine mess.

Don’t be afraid to let there be some inner rattling and rampaging. You are at a time when you are naturally diving into the darkness for a healing purpose. So ask the difficult questions. Do things you wouldn’t normally do. Experiment with thinking in ways you wouldn’t normally think. Be willing to let everything change for the better by first letting go of how things are now. The messier your inner world seems to be right now, the more you can expect complete and utter transformation as a new order comes into form. Expect the unexpected, for you were born to grow into what is happening now.

It’s time to let the wild thing within out!

SECRET OF SHINOBI

Shhhhhh! Can you keep a secret? It’s time to play your cards close to your chest. Soon enough, you’ll be ready to stand upon the mountain top for all to see and hear. For now, let things unfold in the guarded privacy of your inner world. When the time is right to be seen in the light, you’ll know what is true and what to do. Until then, be patient, be private, be committed and wait for the right time to shine.

Sometimes being less visible, less transparent, less “seen” for a time is helpful. It doesn’t mean being dishonest or deceptive, but it does mean keeping your intentions and your truths to yourself until you see the best way to attain your goals. In fact, the best way to attain your goals might be more of the “iron fist in velvet glove” approach. You might find that gentle persuasion works far better than direct confrontation, which can unintentionally inflame a situation and trigger defensive reactions in others instead of finding a way to bring resolution.

If you have been frustrated that you are not breaking through into a more prominent position or not being seen as clearly as you would like, don’t worry. That will -pass and you will be given your time to stand up and be seen at the right time.

When it is time to show your hand, to reveal your intentions and speak more openly and publicly about what has been gestating, you’ll know it; but for now, let things come together away from prying eyes. Just for now, it’s time to keep a secret.

Oh wow, positively perfect for this time. (Seriously, you can’t make this shit up!) So gorgeous one, sending you huge love, ease and thanks. I am thankful for you exactly as you are – perfectly imperfect, which is the best way to be. Be kind to yourself, and remember to play the Thanks game when you need a tune up! Big hugs and squeezes.

Grab your Girdle Gertie it’s Eclipse Season, and a Spell for Release!

Jenny Heston · 4:24 pm ·

Happy, Magickal, Moony, Maddening, Mirthful, Majestic, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

How are you delicious lovely? Did you take some time on Remembrance Day to remember and tap into the potent energy of 11:11?

So let me ask, how has your sleep been? I have heard from many of you that you’re either having supremely vivid and rather odd dreams, or not sleeping well. No surprise! Eclipse energy magnifies the energy of the Full Moon which is happening on Friday November 19th.

And if you’ve been with me a while you will know that Eclipse time brings a lot of hidden things to the surface. Lunar eclipses tend to be highly emotional, so we may have a hard time being objective and logical, and instead jump to action without thinking things through or respecting others. When riled up, take some moments to calm down before rushing into anything.

This Full Moon eclipse is happening in the wonderful Beaver Moon, named after the diligent beavers who are eagerly completing their lodges and food stores for the cold Winter season ahead. However, beavers stay active all Winter long even when ice covers the water’s surface.

November’s Beaver Moon spiritual meaning symbolizes the beaver’s ability to be the architects and creators of their own life. This is something we can all endeavor to be! Use the Beaver Moon as a final motivating push before Winter to create action and transformation in your life.

Now is a time to finish the goals and intentions that are most important to you before Winter is officially here. Figure out what dams you need to create to stop draining your energy or allowing negative energy from influencing your physical and spiritual wellbeing.

While Eclipses can be potent, they do help us to level up and take a quantum leap forward on our path. Whatever falls away, as hard as it may be, is always a catalyst for our soul growth even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time.

So my sweetie, buckle up, ground and breath through the chaos both external and internal. Yes?

A simple ritual and spell to do under this Beaver Full Moon Eclipse is a Releasing Spell.

Cleansing your mind, space and soul.

How do you do it you ask?

Ask yourself what fears, baggage, and worries have you been allowing to take up space in your gorgeous soul and mind that are keeping you from moving forward.

What bad habits have you been continuing that are affecting your physical or mental health?

Then, make a list on a piece of paper and burn each one under the light of the Full Beaver Moon to eliminate these worries from your life. Make sure to use something fire safe.

After you have finished letting go of all that mental and soul clutter.

Use these words to seal the spell.

Chiron, wounded healer, come to me,

Release this pain and set me free.

Allow the wisdom to remain,

But the sting I shall never feel again.

By the power of three times three,

As I do will, so mote it be.

Take a glorious deep breath and smile.

Additionally, use November’s Full Moon as a time to cleanse out items that don’t bring you joy. Don’t feel the need to hold onto an item out of guilt or fear. I used to hold onto gifts I didn’t want or like for years! Now I don’t as let’s be honest, your home isn’t a place to store guilt or negative feelings, it’s a place for joy and happiness.

So purge that “stuff”, donate it, leave it out for someone else, regift it – just let it go okay?

And if you want to explore more spells, rituals and learn how to really connect to your spirit and magick, come join the amazing community over in The Creatrix Circle.

Okay, enough chuntering let’s crack on with the reading. So when I went to the cards and asked who wanted to come and guide this week and share their wisdom, the wonderful Kitsune stood up front and centre.

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them. Welcome to the Kitsune, the shapeshifters, the foxes and the magickal beings of immense and divine power, rich with Foxfire light. They are here to help you. They care, in their wily way, about interacting with us. They wish to light your way with Foxfire. They year to connect with you, to rekindle the sacred flame within you. For you. This is their promise to you. For you are like the ancient wanderer in the forest who has at some time been very kind, for no good reason, and at no small inconvenience to yourself. And Kitsune have noticed this kindness, and so now they come to you, with their messages and their blessings, with the rice of abundance and the ancient flame with its power to bring us back to life. They wish for you to know the wisdom and the secrets and the powers that lie within you. These are the grains of rice that will feed your soul with golden light, with Foxfire, whose origins are ancient, until you shine once more like the bright soul you are.

So my gorgeous one, just breathe and allow yourself to settle. As your breathing slows, invite into your mind’s eye your gorgeous divine light and ask for guidance with what you need to release on this Eclipse Moon. If you need a bit of support tapping into this energy there’s a lovely guided visualisation to support you.

Then, when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Come, let’s look shall we?

THE GOLDEN MOMENT

The Golden Moment occurs when, in one sublime convergence, all that has troubled or caused hardship falls away, and the rewards of all that you have done simply are available to you, in a lovely time of wellbeing, good fortune, and joy. This is a place in which we are filled with the light of possibility, yet we are no longer under the strain of effort and the pressure of former days.

The golden moment is to be felt and experienced, as it cannot be created or forced – it is akin to the energy of a holiday with friends, when there is true delight, a lack of complications, and an effortless ease. There is companionship that is soulful, emotional interactions that are true and without conflict and defence, and a sense of community and family around you.

The whole world seems to be conspiring to make you happy – happy because you have an inner contentment, a sense of belonging in your own skin, and the people who you love, love you in return. There is a sense of flowering, growth, and coming to a kind of ripeness at this time.

Enjoy the golden moment, for it is sometimes fleeting, so allow it to replenish you, nurture you, give you back a true sense of all that is possible in life, and sustain you through the days of change that lie ahead. While there will be other challenges to face in the future, for now, you are held, supported, loved, and cherished by the Universe in ways that are immediately tangible.

SHARING YOUR WISDOM

There will soon be opportunities for you, dear one, to share your wisdom with others. This wisdom is timeless, but it has come about because of your experience and your knowledge, gathered over lifetimes. It is simple and distilled, uncomplicated and without the desire to seem grand or mystical. It is the kind of wisdom that grandmothers and grandfathers who have travelled close to the veil for a very long time can pass along.

It is not resigned, nor is it fierce. There is a calm to it, and a value to it that is precious beyond words. Within this life, friend, you have walked with dragons, loved and lost, been cast out, and risen again and again to so many challenges. Now as you grow older in years, you can mentor and share, guide and teach, kindly and without ego or the need to impress the others who wish to know how to navigate the dark forests of this lifetime.

Take your time, and speak with those who need help. Share with those who are ready to listen. Keep the magick of the world alive by sharing your belief in the energetic realms and helping others understand that beyond what can be seen with the eyes are powerful ones dwelling just at the edges of our earthly experience – the old ones, the dragons among them.

Fear not that no one wants to hear your words. They are needed, and your stories will be valued and shared and change the lives of those they touch. Speak now, and let the others listen, for you have walked between the worlds, and we long to hear the stories of your adventures.

THE NOBLE ONE

This speaks to you of your own inner nobility, the desire to be not only a good person, but also your wish to be an honourable one, and you are reminded of your own desire to bring good deeds to the world. You will keep calm when all about you fall into patterns that are of no use to any, except the howl of their own inner, wounded child. You will tend to your wounds, get the help that you may need, and become a better person.

You are part of the new day for the world, and you are to be recognised for your goodness. You have chosen right action and stood by a code of honour, which has led you to offer the world a series of acts of nobility.

Every act of nobility is no act of martyrdom – you continue to speak your truth, but without rancour and bitterness. Instead you shine with the possibility of what it could be like to be a great being. Through this process, you grow and nurture your own good luck. While you work on your own flaws and challenges, others see you as evidence of goodness within the world. They will seek you out and your services will be sought after, as you have developed a reputation that shines and will remain untarnished.

You are soon able to open up, share who you are, and welcome more affection and true intimacy into your life because you have done the work your soul required of you, thanks to your sojourn with the realms of Kitsune. Your own deep self-love has created a field of energy all about you that is attractive, resonant, and full of noble empathy.

At this time, connect and pray to your own Higher Self, and be reverent of the very simple truth of being alive and awake.

Woosah! Amazing messages for this week, I love it! So gorgeous one, I wish for you a week of release. Release of fears, burdens and angst. May you breathe in how frigging awesome you are and let the dross go with this glorious Beaver Moon Eclipse. Massive hugs and squeezes – oh and warm soxs!

Faeries, Gnome Shortage and It’s Time to Choose………

Jenny Heston · 10:50 pm ·

Happy, happy Magickal, Miraculous, Magnificent, Musical, Majestic, Mighty, May Monday! How was your Beltane? Mine was Miraculous! (Ha, I slid another M in there).

Thank you for all the lovely messages about the Beautiful Beltane Book that was my gift to you. It was wonderful hearing the rituals you tried, the way you marked the day and the fact that quite a few of you had never done so before was even better!!!

I spent my day holding space for an amazing Creatrix Circle Beltane gathering (which was glorious fun!) Then out to the woods to do a Tree Blessing (such a lovely ritual to do) and then for the first time in my life I created a Faery garden! It seemed like the perfect day to do such an activity as Beltane is when the veil is thin between us and the Fey.

Oh my Goddess I had so much fun! Hauling rocks for the walls and then filling the glorious bed with delicious fresh soil. The garden has a glorious funky bright pink faery door with a wee little Narnia like lamp post next to it, surrounded by moss. There’s a stone pathway that leads from the door to a Standing Stone Circle. A fabulous ornate teapot in the garden which will either become a Faery cafe or a Faery School for Magick and Mischief. Antique tea cups filled with wee sedums, driftwood, shells and colourful flowers that the faeries will love (as well as the bees and the flutterby’s). Earth, Air, Fire and Water elements felt important to have. So for Fire there are wee tiny faery lights wending throughout so that at night everything sparkles and invites.

I felt like a wee one creating a magickal space and it was so much fun! Now to add to it when I find something that calls to me on my yomps with Danu! (Yes, I am that woman with pockets of shells, rocks, feathers and cool pieces of driftwood!) Lol.

As I sat out in the dark watching the lights twinkle amongst the ivy and throughout the garden I felt fully content and filled with joy. I got out one of my antique teacups and poured some good white wine into it and grabbed some fat raspberries and took them out to place in the garden as a welcome and as an offering to the Fae.

Sunday morning when I went to take Danu out the teacup was neatly sitting by the bottom of my back stairs. WTF? Empty and tidy. Um. An animal wouldn’t have neatly placed the teacup by my stairs and if a human had wandered into the garden Danu would have known. Sweet! I think the offering and the space were accepted!

So now I have a glorious project to keep puttering away at, thus, if you have any fun ideas for the faeries I would love to hear them. They seem to have more specific needs than Gnomes.

Speaking of Gnomes, when Covid first hit and we went into lockdown most of my friends were shopping like mad fiends online. Buying all sorts of random things, yet there wasn’t anything I really needed nor wanted. Until I saw the most amazing Gnome!

I have NEVER EVER been a Gnome garden ornament type of gal, but this lovely chap holding out a flower to catch the water in spoke to my heart and made me smile. So confession time, over the last year I have acquired 8 amazing, lovely gnomes that are scattered in amongst the herbs, the veggies and hanging out in planters. Yup, gnomes.

Thus when I heard an article on the news a few weeks ago about there being a Gnome shortage I laughed my soxs off! A gnome shortage – is that even possible? Well, it turns out that I wasn’t the only one with a wee bit of a Gnome fetish and with more people gardening, Gnomes were snapped up lickety split and hustled off to new homes. And apparently, with a ship blocking the Suez Canal not even the raw materials could be brought in to make them! (Who would have thunk it!)

So my advice to you, is if you have a Gnome in your garden keep a close eye on him!

With May here, the energy has shifted and we are being invited into the realm of It’s Time to Choose. To explain this Lena shares this with us – As we approach a major point of transition with the Full Moon and total lunar eclipse at the end of the month, we are being challenged to question, reflect, release, choose and commit to personal authenticity and the path of essence. This challenge invites us to choose and choose well. The choices require leaving behind old outdated beliefs, conditioning, suffering, addictions and other limiting behaviors. This is it. It’s time to choose. Who are you? Who are you not?

Sometimes it is easier to react to who you are not rather than searching for who you are. We have been imprinted and conditioned by a set of collective patterns that have greatly influenced our identities. The recent disruption in routines and behaviors has given us a chance to re-examine what is important to us, what we resonate with and what we no longer wish to blindly put up with. With the coming transition and change in vibration on the planet (identified by the Toltecs as the shift from the 5th sun to the 6th sun), we have the opportunity to reset ourselves by choosing wisely to follow our hearts, to be guided by essence, and to live our lives in greater balance, harmony and authentic self-expression.

This month is about choosing your path. Will you choose a path that includes suffering and bad habits? Or will you choose the path of spirit always moving towards the vibration of love, hope and beauty? There is no redemption in suffering. It is time to look through the veil of illusion and reach through it to the other side and into a new landscape of endless possibilities. We are at the choice point and your choices this month will carry a potency that will influence who you are, what you do, where you are and with whom.

Ahhhhh, delicious words as we always have a choice – even when we forget that we do. So what are you going to choose?

Okay, enough chuntering on. Let’s crack on with the reading! So when I asked who wanted to come and share this week I nearly wet myself laughing! The glorious guides of The Oracle of the Dragonfae were most adamant (I mean most adamant!) (You seriously can’t make this shit up!)

Now if these guides are new to you, let me introduce them (as that’s the polite thing to do). Feel their love. Know your power….the Dragonfae are our flesh and soul kin, our friends, our guardians and our allies. When we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life. These guides are the magickal and mystical that weave through the threads of every day, they are the Dragonfae, Gods and Goddesses who dwelt in dimensional lands….Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu, they are Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin and others – fully alive and filled with magick! They are the deliciously magickal beings that have always been there, we just forgot, and when we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life on this beautiful green and blue planet, known by some as Gaia, by others as Dana, and by many other names.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to participate made me smile. Amethyst – is a powerful and protective stone. It guards against psychic attack, transmuting the energy into love and protecting the wearer from all types of harm, including geopathic or electromagnetic stress and ill wishes from others. Amethyst is a natural tranquiliser. Citrine – has the nickname of “The Merchants Stone”, as it’s most certainly involved with money, manifestation and marvellousness! Last but not least, Pyrite – Like a trusted bodyguard, Pyrite is great for the third chakra, enhances will power and helps overcome anxiety. A fabulous rebalancer and manifestation stone.

Gorgeous sprigs of Lemon Balm grabbed at me as I came in to write. Lemon Balm holds the magic of quiet, steady trust. So with all that being said, let’s go explore.

Take a moment to just BE. Breathe a lovely exhale out and then allow a deep gorgeous belly breath in. Invite into your minds eye a glorious meadow filled with wee daisies and wildflowers, each flower holds magick and invites you to make a choice. A choice that supports and nourishes you. Breathe until you are ready to pick.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go meet your guides.

LADY OF THE NEW BUDS

See how my garden has grown about me? See how my children, the darling buds, clamour for my attention? They cry at night and can be so touchy during the day! I must shelter them from harshness and keep them in a safe place, till they are strong enough to branch out….even then, my watchful eye will look out for their care.

You see, so many people see the beauty, and do not understand where it sprang from; the rich, loamy soil. The sweet water poured from the water-Dragonfae into this earth, the minerals of the natural realms, the light of the Sun and the shining sweetness of the crystal moon have all anointed my garden with their blessings. And then there is me. So many see my garden, and wonder at it, but they do not see the work and the care that has preceded my domain. Its beauty is a result of love, care, natural growth and attention to each and every one of its inhabitants.

When your growth appears around you, from the seeds you have planted, take time to tend this garden. Enlist the assistance of like-minded souls, and just as you would not feed these tender buds poisons and pollutants, do not feed your ideas the opinions and energies of those who are not in integrity. Stay true to the vision of your creation and truly take a little time each day to tend this garden, be it of love, ideas, little ones or creative endeavours, until they are robust and begin to grow into their own energy. For now, it is the tender time, the time when the buds are at most risk from the frost of rejection, the poison of judgement, and the choke of cruelty. Be vigilant, and you too will have a garden for all to enjoy and love.

Many will feel you’re fortunate indeed to have created such a beautiful Eden, but they will not see the care you have taken to grow this. But I have seen. I have seen it all. Whisper to her your dreams and ideas, plant your seeds, and watch them grow. Allow her to inspire you with care for your own budding projects, beings, loves and responsibilities.

The emergence will come at the right time, because the bud will be forced to flower at some stage – do not allow yourself to wither in the bud. Divine guidance needs practical application and work. Action teamed with inspiration will create a beautiful, bountiful paradise. Work hard at what it is you love.

THE TIME GUARDIAN

The feelings you have, of time contracting and expanding, are real insights, not simply your imagination. Time is a living dimensional being, whose powers include the ability to devote more time to those of us who require it, and for time to speed up or slow down then it may be necessary, too. It is in this way that we are able to divine and travel through the threads and weavings of time, and move forward into seeing our future…in truth, we are already there. And much of who we truly are remains an echo. The time beings of the Dragonfae, of whom I am one, know this, and guard and protect you from confusion. Similarly, they can assist you when you require time to be created.

If you feel you are short of time, send a thought message to me, the Guardian of Time, and I will send you all the help you need to meet your goals within the time you feel you have. Know that time is available to work for and with you; you need only tune into it as a dimensional reality, and connect with the time beings. Know that you are a timeless being. Know that you are dimensionally vast, that you are protected, cherished and loved.

If you work with time rather than trying to compartmentalise, control and define it, if we return to the lunar and solar and astronomical ways, if we celebrate the time changes apparent in nature all around us with the Wheel of the Year, then the time span we have will be richer and more joyful, our vocations will be discovered and we will no longer struggle to cram so much into our days. Because changing our perceptions is such a mammoth task, the Time Guardian is sometimes very tired, as the prevailing human mindset now is of time needing to be constrained and watched. He encourages us all to experience the natural flow of the energy we call time, and experience its multi-dimensionality. There is one simple way to work with him. Be in the present moment, more often.

THE MORRIGHAN

I see now that events are moving extremely fast; this is a time of rapid change and creation, so rapid that you may wish to slow down, just a little. However I say to you clearly that the time to act is now; and that procrastination and hesitation are your enemies at this time. I can lead you forward through this time, and help you pick your way through the minefield before you. This is a time of testing and darkness, but through this you will grow strong. Be aware! If you have resisted your abilities, or felt blocked in terms of following your life path, these changes will take place very rapidly because they have been waiting for a signal to be able to come in, and they are working hard with you so you do not have to endure a long, drawn-out process of change. Truly, you are ready. Take flight with me, and know that taking your own path seriously and acting now with deep integrity, is the way for justice to reach you.

Do not give in to panic and do not run. Now is the time. If not now, when?

You have already tortured yourself in a thousand ways with your thoughts. You cannot avoid change; each day your cells renew, and all you have to do is breathe in and out for this process to take place. You are confusing stasis with safety – there is nothing to fear, there is everything to gain. A turning point in your life demands action on your behalf, and backing down or avoidance is not the answer. Draw strong boundaries and claim your space. Face trouble rather than turning away. Confront injustice and change the rules by which you have felt bound. Learn to work with your strength and your own ability to create deep change. Lose fear of your own power. Let your courage feel inspired and know that destiny has given you an opportunity to be the courageous being of action that you truly are.

Oh my gosh, I love, love, love the cards! Such perfect messages and insight for where we all are right now. You seriously can’t make this shit up! Have an amazing week! Be gentle with yourself and others, take time out to just BE and allow the energy to move through you and not get stuck in you. Make good choices! Massive Hugs and Squeezes. There won’t be a reading next week as it’s Mothers Day and I want to play!

Post eclipse, Shamanic June Energy Shift and Solstice is only two weeks away!

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy Magickal, Miraculous, Musing, Magnificent, Mature, Manifesting Monday! How are you delicious lovely? How was your last week and the eclipse energy for you?

I ask because many of you emailed and messaged saying you felt soooooooo out of sorts and I think a few of you used the word “fucked”. I can totally relate! My energy last week was all over the map, from panic, to anger, to anxiety, to fear, to needing to just be on my own to wanting to be sort of around others. It was bizarre! (And I hate to tell you that June is going to be even more intense, with more eclipses and Solstice and some very interesting Astrology).

What I really noticed for myself was “Judgement”, that was the energy that was so prevalent for me. Judging people who tried to walk into me in grocery stores, and when I would say “hey honey 6 feet” – they would look at me as if I was mad and advise me that “Silly, this Covid thing is done now.”!!!! Judging myself, judging Trump ad his ridiculous behaviour, judging pubs that have packed patios, which aren’t 6ft apart. Actually I was judging fairly much anything and everyone and judgement is never kind or supportive.

I took myself on a judgement detox over the weekend as I seriously needed to shift the energy. And I was reminded by Gabbie that when we are in judgement (whether it be of ourselves or others), we have separated from source (Spirit and Love) and see ourselves as this little dust mote being flung around by the breeze of whatever is moving in the world. Ahhhhhhhhh, yup! So after taking myself through a few lovely processes and rituals and then scrambling over rocky cliffs by the ocean, to be gifted 7 herons, 7 otters and 2 seals – I am back at centre and so frigging thankful, as we all need to keep coming from a place of love and connection!

With everything that is happening in the world, our communities, our families – more than ever we need to be connected. To remember we are all in this together! Whether it is Covid, BLM, creating the new world we want – all of it. WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER! We all need to show up and share our voice!

Doing nothing is buying into the bullshit and platitudes and sticking our heads in the sand.

So it was no surprise when Lena shared what the Shamanic energy of June was – in fact I nodded my head, sighed and went looking for my big girl panties! If you remember April was “Creating the New”, May was “Reflection” and now June is “KEEP IT MOVING!”

As Lena says: This is an unstable, somewhat volatile and unpredictable month where everything is intensified by eclipses and challenging astrology. It is easy to get stuck in one camp or another, one attitude or another, much like getting caught in an eddy on a river, not being able to paddle out easily into the main flow. It will take some discipline to “keep it moving” as well as determination to move the energy physically through the body in an appropriate and positive way.

Whenever there is instability and unpredictability, there is great support for change. We have to be careful that we don’t create change through negative reactions but rather through positive, determined and proactive focus, keeping track of our goals as everything seems to be dissolving around us. The mind will spin in circles, creating anxiety and worst-case scenarios. The emotional center can be angry, vengeful, irritated, despairing or depressed. So it is up to the moving center to “keep things moving”. You can read more from Lena here.

Wow, and then we have Summer Solstice (or Winter if you are in the Southern Hemisphere) and the energy that comes with both of these points on the Wheel of the Year is huge! So much so that I have been preparing two glorious packages to help, inspire and support you to make the most of the energy at this time.

One is called B.O.S.S. (Book of Summer Solstice) and one is called B.O.W.S (Book of Winter Solstice) and they will be available by about Thursday this week.

Okay, so let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the guides and asked who they wanted to work with I smiled with delight when I saw they had picked “The White Light Oracle.”

Now, if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you – as it would be rude not to – to the glorious guides of “The White Light Oracle”:- Let us guide you into the luminous realm of the sacred. The scared is your heart treasure. It is that which brings light into your life. The sacred is precious to you. It matters enough that you are willing to devote yourself to it – even when that requires courage, sacrifice and growth. The sacred generates inner warmth. It brings you joy. The sacred is a healing mirror that shows you the truth of your experience, which can include a compassionate reflection of your own suffering. It shows you how to heal. It inspires and protects you. What is sacred for your heart is unique to you. Yet, for every heart, the sacred is an experience of sublime love and deep meaning. The sacred helps us remember who we are and shows us how to manifest our inner purpose.

Oh gosh yes, we certainly need to work within the sacred and with our strong rebellious hearts at this time!

The crystals that were most insistent to join in are:- Ametrine – is a powerful combination of Amethyst and Citrine, connecting physical and spiritual realms. Ametrine is a very soothing stone. Rhodonite – – is a stone of compassion, an emotional balancer that clears away emotional wounds and scars from the past, and that nurtures love. Snowflake Obsidian – a stone of purity, Snowflake Obsidian brings about a balance to body, mind and spirit. Snowflake Obsidian helps to keep centered and focused when any type of chaotic situation (office, commute, home, etc.) presents itself. And of course a Selenite wand to amplify and clear.

Okay dear one, take a moment to just settle in and breathe. See any sticky pieces dropping off you to the ground and a white light surrounding you. If you want to go deeper and clear and cleanse out your Chakras I have a lovely guided visualisation for you.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at you, whisper in your ear with a message that you need to hear.

Did you remember to pick?

Then let’s go look, yes?

SACRED SCAR

Your inner and outer scars are marks of soul’s courage. They are signs of strength and survival, of your willingness to be alive.The sacred scar speaks of that which onced caused pain being transformed into higher knowledge and inner power. Trauma shall be transformed through spiritual initiation, leading you from the woundedness to wisdom. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You can trust your healing process and in the hidden higher purpose behind things happening as they do.

You are strong and you shall flourish on all levels.

Some experiences are hard to weather. Even when our intention is to trust, going through a challenging time is likely to give rise to suffering. Consider the mother eagle raising her precious eaglets in the sanctuary of a meticulously padded and fiercely defended nest. They know safety and comfort – until one day, the mother who provided unceasing nurturance abruptly pushes them out of the nest and into the air. She knows this is how they will learn that they can fly.

You don’t have to enjoy the process of growth, but you can always trust it has your best interests at heart. However, do not confuse negative, especially traumatic experiences as something Spirit has inflicted upon you. Spirit would love your growth to happen in the most joyful and peaceful ways possible. As your relationship to Spirit heals and strengthens, this can be the way you grow, more often than not.

Spirit will work with you to free you of negativities and bring you into the light, stimulating the sacred alchemical wisdom within your heart that knows how to distil goodness, grace and healing from even the most terrible experiences.

Do not give up.. You have the inner spirit to ensure even a negative experience will only cause positive growth in you and your life.

YESHE TSOGYAL 333

You shall overcome all obstacles. Success is imminent, to stay connected to your path no matter what and continue to apply yourself. Allow your spiritual path to support you in all areas of your life. Live by your spiritual beliefs. Seek out the support of your spiritual brothers and sisters for help when needed, but also trust that you are intimately and directly connected to the powerful divine light within. There can be a dramatic healing breakthrough when you rely upon your spiritual connection.

Spiritual teachings from Bhutan hold that the great Indian master Padmasambhava was called to Bhutan from Tibet to subdue demons that were causing difficulties for the people of the Paro Valley. He flew from Tibet to Bhutan on the back of a supernatural tigress. The supernatural tigress is Yeshe Tsogyal, a yogini guardian for humanity and an emanation of the compassionate goddess of peace, prosperity and long life known as White Tara.

Yeshe Tsogyal’s power is that of the tiger siddha or medicine of spirit tiger. She calls for a boldness of spirit and willingness to engage your challenges which will create the path to inevitable success. She represents our ability to generate the spiritual power necessary to accomplish what needs to manifest for the greatest good.

She augurs empowerment and healing by assuming a confident attitude and taking steps forward. She lets you know that a negative time is drawing to a close and encourages commitment to the task of overcoming negativities through spiritual practices suited to you. You have the precious gift of such a path.

The repeated three symbolises that all manner of assistance and support will be granted to ensure your attainment. This will include the gifts of appropriate teachings and teachers, friends, healers, synchronicity, circumstances and opportunity. Trust the Universe and go for what you want with boldness and courage.

Truly, you are a lightworker. Embrace it and live it!

MAGNETISM OF EROS

Trust in what your heart yearns for without concern about how it will manifest. Take steps toward that which moves your heart. Reach out for what your soul wants and needs. Allow yourself to be vulnerable, for only then can you be truly held. That which appears out of reach or unavailable to you is closer than you realise.

What is the magnetism of Eros? It is our soul’s fascination with that which appears different and calls to us at a deep level. This soul-deep attraction inspires us to remain open, be passionate and willing to engage with life, other people and new, vitalising pathways and practices that inspire us.

It keeps us moving on our authentic life path, living by the call of the heart. Your heart is being called to a particular path or way in life. It may not make logical sense, but to honour the call of the heart is to honour the needs of the soul.

Eros is a Greek word for love. On a spiritual level, ERos is our passionate, open, engaged love for life. When we experience Eros, we are ready to embrace our journey. It is an affirmation of life. It’s opposite is the destructive drive, known as Thanatos, which is the drive behind our undermining, self-defeating and self-harming behaviours. We may engage in such negative behaviours in a misguided attempt to heal ourselves or make ourselves feel better. To resolve the negative Thanatos drive whin us and in our world, we need Eros.

We need to embrace life, including our negative experiences. By acknowledging and healing our suffering, we can find the courage and wisdom to live more fully.

The challenge and gift of Eros leads us into our vulnerability. From there, we can also recognise our strength and dignity. We become able to let go and heal. Explore new pathways, especially if you feel out of your depth and a bit vulnerable in doing so – more so if they involve personal healing.

Trust where your heart is leading you.

Wowzer, wowzer, wowzer. Some very clear messages to support, inspire and guide you this week! How did your choice feel to you? Okay my darling one – hands clean, heart open, truth to be spoken and remember – you are not alone, we are all in this together. Oh yes, and the Solstice bundles will be ready by near the end of this week to support you. Sending you massive hugs and squeezes and such big love. Be kind and gentle with your gorgeous self!

Grace, The Invitation, New Moon in Taurus

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Marvelous, Magickal, Meritorious, Melodic, Manifesting Monday! How was your Easter weekend? (Yes it has been that long since I last wrote). I will admit, it was a rather bizarre weekend, social distance walking with my boys, social distance egg decorating in the garden and then video calls whilst we each made our own dinners. But hey, I can’t complain – the weather was stupendous, it was good to see their gorgeous faces and we needed a different type of Easter (I didn’t have to cook a huge meal!) Lol

There are gifts and opportunities in everything!

Which brings me round to the fact that I have been encountering people who don’t see the gift or the opportunities, and they want things to go back to normal overnight and are now starting to get exceptionally twitchy, defiant and angry as week four of social isolation and distancing comes to a close. The ones that are having a tough time with it are the extroverts and those who thought this “little Covid thing” (I have heard that soooo many times) was going to end in a week or two. If I’m the first one to inform you that we are riding these waves of change for at least 4 more months if not longer, I’m sorry. We are. So how can you do it with grace? We are all in this together.

If you are blessed to not be working on the front lines (and massive thanks to all who do), then you have some time on your hands, yes? Are you willing to accept the invitation to find and see the gifts and opportunities in this situation? Can you? Will you allow yourself to relax the tight hold on what should be and breathe into the paradigm shift of what could be?

When I reflected on this question for myself I realised I had a huge list of things I wanted to learn, to try etc. Yet my excuse had always been – I don’t have the time. Guess what? So I sat down with my list the other day and reviewed it. Did I REALLY want to learn Japanese Brush Painting, no. And so it got crossed off the list along with various other items. However, I do want to learn the guitar (which I am doing now), I do want to write more (which I do daily), I do want to learn how to longboard (which I am trying – it’s not pretty, but it’s glorious fun). I do want to dance more, so guess what? Every night when I walk Danu (the therapy) dog, I plug in one of our amazing Light, Love and Laughter playlists and I frigging dance!!!! 5 km of dance, fun and glorious laughter.

So what is the gift or opportunity for you? Who do you want to be at the end of this? (A question to Muse for sure.) Embrace the flow and the paradigm shift, it is far easier and more enjoyable.

Okay enough proselytizing. Lol. On Wednesday we have Earth Day and New Moon in Taurus, utterly fabulous!!! How are you going to spend it? If you had a magic wand and could give a blessing to Mumma Gaia, what would it be?

I love what Chani has to share about this New Moon:- This New Moon urges us to slow down, pay attention to our bodies, enjoy simple pleasures and rethink the ways in which we are using our resources. It calls on us to get creative with our material lives and innovative in the ways in which we think about abundance and mutual prosperity. Conjunct the game-changer of the cosmos, Uranus, and square the planet of form and structure, Saturn, this New Moon helps us to deepen our understanding of which structures can support the changes we are personally and collectively facing, and which are so outdated they have to be completely rethought. Taurus is a slow and steady sign, and the restructuring we are considering making at this moment needs to be integrated a little at a time, in ways that feel sustainable and supportive long-term.

What a positively perfect New Moon energy to work with at this moment in time! Methodical, grateful and sustainable – whoot! Do take time to write down your New Moon Wishes, or start a New Moon Bowl (such a delicious and grounding daily practice!).

Okay, when I went to the cards and asked who wanted to support and guide this week, the cards that were most insistent are The Oracle of the Shapeshifters.

If these glorious guides are new to you, let me please introduce them (as that is the polite thing to do)! “These are the magickal familiars, once the companions of shamans, witches, wizards, and wise ones – and now they are here for you. Now is the time for you to undertake a great quest – to rebirth yourself within this lifetime and this quest of evolution does not need to be faced alone. We change and we change again. We fear change. Yet it comes. For us to fear change is as foolish as winter crying for the coming of spring. Change is. Fear corrupts. These guides are here to support, encourage and help you through transformation and to teach you to let go of fear. True , deep change must take place for you to fulfill your soul contract. You may have turned from possibility to what you have convinced yourself is probable: You diminish your possible self, reduce who you are, and dilute your spirit. But even when you have sought to remain invisible and hidden away, and said yes to everyone else, life will find you – and transform you. You are never alone with these beings.” Phew! So there we have it, are you ready?

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to come support are:- Angel Wing Phantom Quartz – fabulous for connecting to your higher self and to attain a sense of tranquility. Carnelian –stabilising, it restores vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity. It gives courage, promotes positive life choices, dispels apathy and motivates for success. Citrine – attracts wealth, prosperity and success. It imparts joy, wonder, delight and enthusiasm. Raises self-esteem and self-confidence. Oh yes, and glorious cherry blossoms wanted to share their radiance, and please don’t fret, they were placed in a flower bowl afterwards and are brightening up the corner table!

I am so loving the guides and the crystals that are present for this week.

So delicious lovely, let’s get present and mindful shall we? Take some delicious slow breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth and I invite you to ask the question – What are the gifts or opportunities available to me right now. Am I willing to move with the flow? Breathe that in and if you need some more support I have a delicious short guided visualisation for you.

Shall we go look?

THE GOLDEN PHOENIX

You are transforming – both internally and externally – and this change is blessed, divine, and guided by your Golden Phoenix guardian. Talk to your Golden Phoenix at sunrise – and know that as you do so, your Golden Phoenix is recharging your chakras and your aura, and thus your experiences, thoughts, and reality. You are loved by the Golden Phoenix, and as you honour her with your transformation, she honours you with this marvelous gift of regeneration. Life from death. The sun from the ashes. You rise again, reborn. The Golden Phoenix is perhaps the greatest creature of rebirth and reincarnation. This sacred helper, guardian, and loving companion guides you to die before you die, to be born again within this life, many times. Allow the things that no longer serve you to fall like autumn leaves. Allow yourself to be reborn, like the budding leaves of spring. You are potentially in one of the most invigorating, challenging, and inspiring rebirth cycles ever.

You retreated, rested, and you recovered. And now you will reignite! You thought something – or someone – was done. Dead. In the past. But his once lifeless thing of ashes is about to flame back into full existence! You are about to witness a resurrection, and you and the reborn will have the chance to create something of warmth and beauty together – something pure, innocent, and wise that will benefit many. Life always finds a way – and you will have a Golden Phoenix guiding you to rekindle a dream you gave up on too soon.

THE DELICATE FAERY AND HER FRIENDS

Sometimes the transition between one cycle or stage and another is easy, fluid, flowing, and smooth. At other times it is rough, harsh, cruel, and painful. It is inevitable that, if we are truly alive, we will experience discomfort and challenges when confronted by the unfamiliar. This is no curse – it is evidence of wisdom being taught to us.

We change. We alter ourselves. We adapt. We choose. We become. You are now being shown a way and the gifted magickal tools to strengthen yourself while you develop your skills. You are also being sent a trusted companion to guide you through the deep forests of change. You feel very vulnerable, and there is fear in your heart. But why would there not be? Life is full of transitions, shifts, and epic moments when we can choose between our best self and the tired, conditioned, most often deflated self. In this time of change, there is no map, no guidebook, no previous knowledge to comfortably fall back on.

One cycle has ended. When a cycle changes or when we choose to create change courageously be challenging our limited self-beliefs, questioning our attachments to “truths”, or releasing our attachment to the way in which our lives “should” manifest, we are, either by choice or by contract, undergoing an initiation. A new friend, advisor, or piece of information will empower you. You must now shift the focus from what you fear to what you wish to become and face what it is that is frightening you needlessly.

It will not kill you. It might hurt a bit, but results will make it worth it!

THE UNENDING SADNESS OF LOOKING BACK

Your focus on the pain of the past increases its power. Let it go. This early life-form wishes you to know that it belongs in the past – it does not want to be re-created again and again and again. It does not have any desire to be the source of your pain. You are giving your energy, your breath, your own life to the existence of one who makes no demands on you. The past has hurt you, indeed. But it is long gone. The harm you suffer from now is by your own hand. You hold the very knife that is inflicting the thousand cuts. Put it down.

The shadow of the past is feeding off your energy, becoming a living thing, when its time has long passed and it no longer belongs with you. You are offering yourself to the past as a victim, nursing pain and being suffocated.

Represented by this ancient trilobite, the being you have created from the past, who wants to be a fossil but whom you insist on bringing to life, your true self wants only to be free and to be allowed to evolve and change. For your own sake, you must allow the past to fade so the wound can heal, so the scar can knit and become a mark of power.

Our past is fascinating, our past is rich, and our ancestry is worth investigating. But to live there, to cry because we believe we are no longer at that one perfect time in our lives, is to deny the gifts of the present and the treasures of the future. Your sadness is of your own making, for you are recycling the moment in the past when all changed, when your world failed you, and this is preventing you from opening and being fully alive now.

It’s time to release all that, heal, and let it go. You can do this.

Okay, seriously you can not make this shit up! What glorious cards for where we are at this moment in time and all the gifts, opportunities and creating a new “normal”! Whoot! So my delicious lovely, I wish for you a week of exploring deep into your being what are the important things for you? What do you want to share? And whilst you do this, laugh, play and most certainly dance!!! Happy Earth Day and New Moon. Oh yes, if you are not part of the Light, Love and Laughter Community and would like to be (it’s totally free), just email me. Huge Hugs and Big Blessings!
