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!

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!

Samhain, All Souls Day, Dia de los Muertos, Rituals and New Moon in Scorpio!

· ·

Happy Miraculous, Magickal, Mystical, Melancholy, Magnificent, Misty, Merry, Manifesting Monday!  

How are you gorgeous one?  Happy Samhain!  (As in my practice, Samhain goes from dusk on the 31st to dusk on November 1st)!  

This is the Celtic new year, the end of the growing season – the time of Death on the Wheel of the Year.  This is where the past year dies & our lives shift inward in preparation for new life to take root.

This is an extremely powerful & transformative time of year.

As nature makes this final shift inward, and lets whatever remains die on the outside – you are also making this shift. And you have your own things that need to die in order for you to do so. 

This time of year, and this seasonal energy, is helping you discover what those things ARE – the things that you have outgrown, the things you are ready to release in order to continue growing & evolving.

If you’re interested in learning more about Samhain & how this time of year influences you mentally & emotionally, check out the Magickal Book of Samhain, or come and join our incredible community in Creatrix Circle, where we walk the Wheel of the Year together!

I love, love, love this time of year!  After the fiery intensity of summer it is so nice to move into the watery, reflective, inward and introspective energy of Autumn.  And for me October and November meld together in a delicious way  – inviting me to go deeper, to pull the energy in and push it down to  my roots (as the plants do), and let all the pieces go that need to.  A time of transformation. 

I mean for goodness sakes, if we look at Biology 101 where does a seed transform?  Under the ground.  In the dark, warm earth where it is quiet and nurtured it can then start to sprout!  (Okay I’m getting off my soap box!)

Now I know some of you may be saying “Hang on Jen, isn’t this All Souls Day, or Día de los Muertos.”

You would be correct on both counts!!!  All Souls Day is celebrated on November 2nd and Dia de los Muertos is from October 31st – November 2nd.  So take a moment to think about it – Samhain, All Souls Day, Dia de los Muertos are all about honouring our dead, giving thanks to our ancestors and seeing death as a transition and a time of transformation.  

Make sense?

Thus, I highly encourage you to take some time to sit in the darkness, offer up a blessing to those who have passed and invite in the whispers of your amazing ancestral line.  

(And yes I know our Western Culture can be super tweaky about death).

I have a super easy Ritual of Release for you to try. All you will need is your willingness, some leaves, a candle and your intention. Ready?

This Thursday we have a lovely New Moon in Scorpio and so what does this energy bring to you?  New Moons are about retreating within, and Scorpio energy is also very reflective. We may find ourselves delving into the darker corners of our hearts and minds. We may find ourselves unpacking some of the denser emotions that we have been holding on to.

As Forever shares:-  “The Scorpio New Moon represents transformation and can even be a catalyst if you are in any in-between phases in your life.

You may just find that shortly following this New Moon, the metamorphosis journey you are on kicks into a new gear, revealing the next step of your process.

If you are in a stuck and stagnant place, you can call on the energies of this New Moon to help create a shift in your life.

This New Moon is geared to inspire change, so think about what needs to transform in your world and then go about setting your intentions. Work with the energies of this New Moon by knowing that it can help instigate shift and change if that is what you are looking for.”

If you feel inclined, use the moody energies of the Scorpio New Moon to delve into those shadowy corners, who knows what beautiful insights will come into the light.

“And if you are stuck trying to figure out the essence of who you truly are I will give you a clue – you are far more magnificent, radiant, and lovely than you could ever believe.”

Okay I have chuntered on long enough!  

When I went to the glorious cards and asked who wanted to guide and support you this week I was delighted to see  The Oracle of the Shapeshifters.  As we are all shapeshifting in some shape or form right now.

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?

Thus my gorgeous one, take a moment.  Just let your breath naturally slow down, relax your shoulders and jaw.  As you start to relax I invite you to see in your mind’s eye the energy of Release.   What do you want to keep?  What feels a tad stagnant?  What messages do you need to hear from your ancestors?  If you need a little more support dropping into that energy I have a lovely little guided visualisation for you.

Then, when you’re ready, pick the card or cards that make your soul breathe.

Did you remember to pick?

Then let’s go have a good gander shall we?

FIONA AND THE UNICORN

Unicorns help us choose between what is pure and what is polluted.  The unicorns’ alicorn (a spiral horn, holding the divine ratio and perfect proportions within it) connects directly to their third eye.  At this time, many messages are being drawn directly to your third eye, and so your clairvoyant capacity is growing and opening.  This may sometimes be disturbing for you.

You may experience flashes of light at night, as though lightning is striking behind your closed eyelids.  You will be able to see the colours and energies around beings, even see who their guides and etheric companions are. 

With your eyes open, it is likely you will begin to see another world superimposed over this one.  Energy will form shapes around people, objects, plants and even buildings.  You will see colours and energy fields, orbs and entities – you are able to see what once you could not.

For a time this could lead to confusion, disrupted sleep, and a feeling that perhaps you may not be of sane mind.  But this is not true.  The unicorn and I are here to guide you through this time.  The Unicorn will help purify the energy that comes close to you, and advises you to drink a great deal of water as you go through this process of the 3rd eye opening widely.  

You will sometimes feel trapped in a world where  you receive too many visions to make sense of – this will pass, and we will help you through this stage.  Ask us what  you need to know, and we will do our best to translate the images you are seeing – the energies you are able to glimpse so clearly now – into words you are able to understand.  It is not the time to give in to fear and banish this visionary experience.  Accepting it will lead to a great healing and the ability to help others.

TWO KITTENS

This magickal being is holding tight to two beautiful cats; both of them offer her growth in her femininity, independence, and satisfaction on many levels.  Both of them are very young, very tender.  She feels nurturing and protective toward them both.  “How can I put one down?” she asks, torn.  She is being asked to choose between the two, to separate one thing from another, and she is shocked that she must make this choice.  

When this comes to you, tune in.  Ask yourself, your body, what it wants to do.  Make a decision.  You can no longer go on at this point attempting to walk in two directions at once.  And that which you most fear – causing pain – will not happen when you choose.  Cats are about your independence,  your ability to leap high and to make it through many tricky situations.  Choose.  Choose now.  

So are you having trouble making an important decision?  You can’t see which one to choose?  Which way to go?  Both seem equally good or equally flawed?  Hmmmm.  We have come to show you the difference between two choices.  You know you can take only one road at this time, and you know you must trust that that which you leave behind – that which you are telling yourself you are abandoning – will be safe and cared for.  You will make it through this choice without feeling agonies of guilt.  You will.  The Universe trusts you to make the right choice!  

Feel it – you can now choose between seemingly indivisible ways.  There will be a solution to this impossible situation.  

For now, put one thing down and choose the other, or no real growth can take place.

BATS IN THE BELFRY

These companions will teach you how to be upside down in life for a time, to fly against the mainstream views, and to find your way when you can see no way ahead at all.  They will assist you in moving far beyond the cares and conditioning that told you to stay enraptured by limiting beliefs, to remain in thrall of your fear of being different.  The bats and their astounding skills, sensitivity, and talents will help you accept that you must begin to live with even more courage, imagination, and boldness – even when you are misunderstood.  They will show you how, in time, you will become an inspiration, because you choose to live with valour, excitement, and beauty.  The bats’ only question for you now is: What next?!

Others may say you are indeed batty, and this ascendancy has seemed mad even to you at times. The current state has been preceded by a heavy, hurtful climb.  Just  because no one can quite see how you’ve made it to the top does not mean you did not have to climb.  There was no magickal lift, or easy way up – nor did you fly.  But you did follow your instincts, and we, the bats, the ones who can see you in the dark, led you to your current home.  Now you are here, and so many wonders you can see, and so peaceful and fine it feels to be high above it all.  The air is fresh and clean, and you can see just where  you need to go in future.

There will be a time to start the next great journey, but for just a moment, take time and enjoy the wind at your back, the incredible views stretching out before you, and the freeing sense of detachment from the cares and woes of all those who said it could ever be done, that you didn’t have the skills, that you couldn’t climb so high.  You have.

You have done well.  Now take a moment and enjoy the magnificent view and all the wisdom this height can offer you.  See the future directions, see where you made what others call mistakes, and see how those below stay stuck.  And now you need only ask for our help, especially when the darkness falls, and you will find your way to the beginning of another great journey into places that others say it is not possible to go.  It is.  You have shown it to be so.  Now let us take in this glorious view.  

Wow, wow, wow.  What gorgeous guides to help us with the delicious energies of this moment!  So my gorgeous lovely, sending you massive blessings and huge chocolate chip biccies (as everyone needs a nice snack).

Happy Thanksgiving and Healthy Boundaries!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Mesmerising, Marvelous, Musical, Majestical, Manifesting Monday!

How are you gorgeous one?  

Here in Canada it is Thanksgiving and there wasn’t meant to be a reading this week – but Spirit had a different idea!!!!  So along with the most massive pumpkin pie ever – we have a reading!

So let me ask you a question, okay?

Do you give yourself permission to have healthy boundaries, to speak your truth with compassion and to nurture yourself? If not – why not?

I ask this (with Thanksgiving in mind), as this last week I have had multiple conversations with amazing people who allow their boundaries to be ignored by family, friends, colleagues and then reap the sense of overwhelm, regret and feeling dismissed.  

So as the week unfolded (with Thanksgiving weekend rapidly approaching), a niggling started, and then got bigger and bigger.  Then it finally erupted mid week with “I don’t want to have to cook Thanksgiving dinner!”  Which shocked the shit out of me as I love celebrating most everything and I love the people that I spend time with.

However, we had a birthday gathering two weekends ago which was fabulous.  We had a gathering in August as my brother was here.  We had a gathering in July to celebrate someone, and then the Solstice gathering in June.  All amazing, all wonderful, all I loved and all a lot of work!  One day is filled with errands, grabbing ingredients and cleaning.  The next day is filled with cooking, hosting and organising and then the day after is clean up.  Poof, 3 days gone!

So as this burbling of “I don’t want to host Thanksgiving” kept growing and growing so did my anxiety about how it would be received, and the guilt of letting people down and all the other bullshit stories that can swirl in our heads (aren’t they lovely?).  

And then I remembered the phrase that has been walking with me for a while “Tenderly Fierce”.  

That place of staying open and vulnerable with a tender heart whilst allowing compassion for all things and people, including self, while fiercely protecting our boundaries.  

Yes! Yes!  Yes!

Thus, I shared with the kids, family, friends –”I love you but I really just want to do my own thing this weekend.  I need some space and don’t want to be on deck for anyone else.  I want to play, paint, hike, read, relax, write and watch the leaves dance with no agenda, no schedule and not committing to anyone other than myself.”

It was so amazing to see the response!  Most of them got it, and really appreciated the fact that I had shared my boundary with them!  (The mothership certainly didn’t, but that’s not a surprise).  

So I revelled in the time!  I went out and watched the sun rise and light up all the gorgeous leaf colours. I yomped with Danu, exploring new places whilst revelling in the glory that surrounded me.  I’ve painted, written, gardened, made an amazing crystal necklace and a delicious Thanksgiving feast for one of all the foods that I wanted to eat (and no it didn’t include Turkey).  

I’ve danced, lit candles, put on good music and just spent time BEing, Playing and Refuelling. 

And you know what?  It made me even more Thankful this Thanksgiving.  It made me Thankful that I have released the trauma response of not being allowed boundaries from my family of origin.  It made me Thankful for my kids and friends who totally appreciate it and get it.  It made me Thankful that using my voice and practicing being Tenderly Fierce are part of who I am.  It made me Thankful that I had time to play.  It made me exceptionally Thankful for where I live and the gorgeous places to explore and play in.  

So you may be thinking to yourself – ummmm, Jenn why the heck are you talking about boundaries?  

So gorgeous one, I hope you take time to really look at your boundaries (they aren’t walls btw).  Healthy boundaries are a crucial component of self-care. That’s because in work or in our personal relationships, poor boundaries lead to resentment, anger, and burnout.  

And I want you to find your voice, whether it is with speaking about your boundaries, your truth, your thanks and gratitude or your pain.  Okay?

Now enough chuntering from me, let’s crack on with the reading.   When I went to the cards to ask who would like to be present this week it made my heart smile to see who showed up.  The amazing Faery Blessing guides were most adamant.  As after all, who doesn’t need a Blessing?

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them as it would be rude not to.

Faeries are present in every droplet of water, every blade of grass – they are everywhere there is a trace of nature – thus every field, flower, and forest is theirs.  They inhabit the wild rainforests and the old castles; they dance within standing stones and burial mounds; they are on the top of mountains and within the grove deep in the valley; and they appear in the cracks in the pavement and beneath the cities in the old, tangled tree roots.  Faeries are part of this world, and they were here before we were born into this world, and they know us better than we know ourselves.  

For humans, many of us have lost our sense of play, our sense of relationship with nature, our courage to be ourselves – as well as our hope, creativity, and personal power.  We have looked outside of ourselves and nature and the sacred ones for answers, and in doing so, we have become quite lost.  The blessings of the faeries can bring us back into relationship with ourselves, back into relationship with the elements and the elementals, so that we can become more at home within the world, while creating a personal world which supports our dreams, our wishes, and our purpose.  

Yes!  Positively perfect!

So gorgeous one take a breath.  Just a normal breath and then as you carry on breathing allow it to slow down.  Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.  Allow in your mind’s eye a rising of your gorgeous heart,  your voice and a beautiful circle of silver light around them.  Allow this silver light to grow stronger, with you in the center and let that space be filled with all the things you are thankful for.   Let the silver circle become a delicious healthy boundary.   As you breathe just let it swirl, you don’t have to control it.  

Then with this energy pick the card or cards that call to you.  What Blessing is for you this week?

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

A BLESSING ON THE HEART’S CALLING

The Faery Gift of Living from the Truest and Most Pure Call of the Heart

For faeries, what the heart wants, in its purest form, is the right thing to desire.  But for humans, we have long practiced smothering the heart with the voice of reason, most often not our own voice, but the voices of others, of cultures and governments and of groups of people who fear nothing so much as hearing the heart’s deep call.  And so, with this gift of the faery comes the gift of hearing again the heart’s deep call and having the courage and commitment to follow it, no matter where it may take us.  The heart’s deep call will never drive us to a destructive relationship or a  hurtful scenario.  It is not going to sacrifice our spirit to the making of money or the stifling of creativity.  The heart’s deep call, the true call, is beyond this, and will only take us in the direction of the dreams we are meant to fulfil this lifetime.

The faeries can now, with this gift, slowly lift the mist that covers the shining heart within you and open you up to that deep listening to your own self, and help you to value the song of the heart that has been singing to you since before you were born.  For the faeries have heard the song of your heart, and have wondered at the difference between its call and the life you have lived thus far.  With this gift, your life will move more into accord with the heart, and you will begin to live from that deep, true place – with integrity, with fulfilment, without foolishness or following another, for your own heart will guide you and never ask you to sacrifice yourself to the creation of the dream of another.  The faery’s gift is of the heart’s deep call to you, friend.  May its song bring you every blessing.  

A BLESSING OF THE LIMINAL SPACE

The Faery gift of Gateways, Sacred Sites, Enchanted Times.

Dear Faery Friend, you have reached a great moment, the point where you can receive the blessing of the liminal space and time.  The gateway, the moment, the choice is her.  Let the liminal, the in-between, become more and more apparent to you.  May the blessings of the sunrises, with their dawn colours and sweet beginnings, be yours.  And may the sunsets, with their richness and splendour and their message of coming rest be yours, too.  May the in-between spaces, the places where the faeries can reach you so easily, and where you can discover your own inner magick be yours.

To be blessed with the liminal is to be blessed with the deeper magick of the natural world, to have the ability to step outside of human rush and stress and worry and deeply experience the quiet spaces within nature that are so often offered, yet o rarely accepted.

Find yourself within the sacred grove, with the old, wise trees; find the space between the worlds and walk a while with the guides and faery kin who love  you and wish to be of assistance to you.

Find your way into the magick of your own life and soul, and leave behind the push and stress that strips the world of its magick.  May your intuition flow easily and accurately, may there be a sense of deep peace and trust with the world, and may you know that there is an abundant well of magick and faery wisdom awaiting you, every day, every hour, within these sacred spaces and places.  

Find the space in between, find the magick that dwells within, find the faery circle in the field, and let yourself be blessed again and again with the blessings of the enchanted ones, the sacred spaces that lie all about us.  

THE BLESSING OF THE MOTHERS

The Faery Gift of a Time of Unexpected Gifts and Wonderful Synchronicities.

When this blessing comes to  you friend, you receive the blessing of the Mother, the ancient faery being of the land known today as Wales.  With this blessing comes recognition for your own kindness and generosity, and so now you will find yourself blessed with the unexpected gift.  The old tales tell us that the Mother will reward those who are kind and caring, especially those who care for the land and for the animals.  And so to you they are sending a boon – a gift of treasure found in a hidden place, a warm cloak on a ol day offered by a stranger, money readily oing to you in strange and lovely ways, and ease of suffering in an area you thought had no hope.

The blessings of the Mothers are unpredictable, as they will see your own life and what they will bring to you is what your soul most needs to feel solace and blessings.  If you have felt like thr has been a run of “bad luck”, this will now lift and transform into an effortless flow of all that is good.  Every small kindness you have offered others will now flow back to you.  And in mysterious ways, you will see how what was once done of simple goodness is now returning to you, threefold.

For the faeries see you, know you, and acknowledge your heart, and the Mothers are now with you, to bring you the bendith y mamau – the gifts of the Mothers – so when they appear, give thanks, and know that nothing goes forgotten and unseen in the realm of the enchanted ones.  

Blessings, and may the gifts of the Mother bring you comfort and goodness, friend.  

Oh how deliciously perfect for this moment in time!  So gorgeous bean, I wish for you a most glorious week. Use your voice, practice your boundaries and know that you are sooooo worth it. Happy Thanksgiving!  Sending you huge hugs and squeezes.  See you next week.  

October is here, the energy has shifted, so what does that mean for you? Lots and Lots!!

· ·

Happy Mysterious, Magickal, Mellow, Merry, Musical, Misty, Manifesting Monday!

Before we start, do you remember Sesame Street?  Every show would be brought to you by the letter something.  Thus, this week’s post and reading are brought to you by the letters “RE”. (You will quickly see what I mean!)

October is here and here she came flooding in with brilliant blue skies, leaves that are rapidly changing into brilliant hues of oranges and reds and a lot of Chutzpah!  So what does this mean for you?  Lots and Lots!  Lol.  

October brings a big shift in energy, we have 6 planets in retrograde (yup 6!), a New Moon on Wednesday, Canadian Thanksgiving, doors to Creatrix Circle opening in a few weeks and Halloween (Samhain) – a time when the veil is very thin.  

So grab a cuppa and let’s have a look at all these pieces shall we, so that you can move through this month with grace and ease.

Okay, let’s start with the energy shift of October.  We are being asked to step into the energy of Release-Reinvent. (Doesn’t that sound exciting?)  As Lena shares:-  This month we get to see what we are made of, where our commitments are, who and what supports us, and whether we are on the right track or not. We get to go through the excruciating process of letting go of old beliefs, wounds, possessions, comfort, illusions, identities, dreams and attachments. We are releasing on a deep level whether we like it or not.

This is the birth canal of our new story. It’s dark, uncomfortable, pressurized and scary, but there is no going back. The new story is in the unfamiliar landscape we are birthing ourselves into, highly creative and full of raw potential. If you can get out of the fear and negativity, judgment, blame and disappointment, you will feel highly energized, inspired and excited about what you can reinvent for yourself.

In some ways this is a pivotal month with such a powerful focus on transformation that it is impossible to avoid it. You can ease the discomfort by being proactive and disciplined about how you manage your release and reinvention.”

How does that make you feel?

So now let’s look at the 6 planets that are retrograde.  We have Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.  Now before you dash off to hide in the closet keep in mind what a retrograde can bring.  When a planet is Retrograde, it’s energy becomes more inward.  During this inward phase, we have the opportunity to review or reflect our ‘inner-self’ as it relates to the past. We also have the opportunity to RElease, REview, REinvent, RElax, REassess, and REalign. 

Which to me are all amazing things, yes?

However, do notice the energy for October is Release and Reinvent and now with 6 planets retrograde this is being compounded even more.  Okay, let’s move onto the New Moon in Libra that happens on Wednesday October 6th.  

With this Libra New Moon  we have four cosmic bodies in Libra, creating a stellium and bringing the element of air strongly into our awareness.

The element of air rules over our thinking processes, and can be fuel for inspiring ideas and new ways of thinking about things. The strong element of air can also stir the winds of change, guiding us to open our minds to new possibilities or opportunities. 

 It will also ask you to spend some time in introspection.  Looking inwards and seeking balance.  What needs to be REleased to come to that place of balance?  What can be shed in order for you to move forward with ease and joy? This is a great time to REconnect to your internal compass and decide what you wish to carry and what you want to leave behind.  

So my gorgeous one, do you see now why I said this reading was brought to you by the letters RE?  There are so many wonderful opportunities this month, and especially this upcoming week to really spend time in that delicious space of REleasing, REflecting and REaligning.  And it doesn’t stop at the end of this week by any stretch, but with the New Moon it is the perfect time to make some very intentional New Moon wishes.  

This upcoming weekend it is Thanksgiving here in Canada.  The time (yet again) to REflect, REceive and REmember all the things that you are grateful for (and to also eat some amazing food)!

Then the week after that the doors to Creatrix Circle will be opening to welcome amazing women who really want to deepen into their path, whether it is that of the Witch, the Wise Woman, the Healer of the Mystic.  An incredible community where we REmember our true stories and unpack our magick and power.  So I am very excited about that as we haven’t opened the doors for 9 months!  I’m also thrilled that the doors will open in time for new members to join in our Samhain gathering.  

Then last, but certainly not least, is Halloween (Samhain).  My most favourite holiday and celebration.  Samhain is the festival at which we honor our ancestor of blood and destiny. Samhain reminds us to awaken to our fullness and shed any outmoded forms of being so that we can shapeshift into a new reality.

So my darling one – there is lots happening this month (and we will delve into things deeper as the weeks go on).  

With all this being said, let’s crack on with the reading.  Phew!  

This week we have amazing new guides who want to share their wisdom and insight with you this week.  Ready?  Let me introduce you to the amazing Sacred Traveller guides.  

Your life is a spiritual quest that may be fraught with uncertainties; however, it’s through this sojourn that you transform, heal, and bring greater love and awareness into your life and into the world.  Your encounters on the pilgrimage of life are conduits that can transport you to the heart of God and beyond.  At every turn on your path, you have a sacred companion at your side, giving you powerful advice.  This loving escort is akin to your soul; it’s your Sacred Traveler.  The Sacred Traveler constantly whispers to you – through signs, synchronicities, and symbols around you – and also communicates through spontaneous thoughts that nudge at the edge of your consciousness.  Your life and the experiences you have are not an accident – there’s a plan for you, and you have a destiny.  

So my darling one, settle into your bones.  Breathe yourself back to your body and just let your breath slow on it’s own accord.  As you take a moment or two to centre, invite into your mind’s eye the Release you need, the Realign you desire and what that looks like for you, breathe those in.  

If you need a bit more support there is a lovely guided visualisation to help you into this space.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to your heart and soul.

Did you remember to pick?

Come and see what they want to share with you.  

FOGGED IN

Sometimes the mist and fog are so thick that the traveler feels uncertain about everything. Where am I going? What am I meant to do? Why can’t I see what’s ahead?  However, it’s in those moments of “Unknowing” that the deepest and most profound answers to life’s big questions can emere.

The secret is to traverse slowly and carefully so as to not fall off the path.  Be careful.  Proceed with caution in all things as you sense the best direction.  Listen to the whisperings of your soul.  Trust your inner voice.

Even if you can’t see what’s around the next corner, go forward, slowly and gently.  You are safe.  When you take the time to go slowly, new perceptions emerge that you can’t see if you’re moving fast.  Move away from the rapid pace of everyday life, and step into the majesty of stillness.  

Resist the impulse to go ahead with your first instinct.  Take time to tune in to your deeper intuition.  Power is born in those times when you relax into the present moment.

WATCHING CLOUDS

There are times when the most empowering thing the traveler can do is to step off the path, stretch out, and lie on the earth to watch the clouds float by.  This act is renewing and regenerating.  When all the activity of the road diminishes and the traveler allows a languid relaxation to emere, this is most often the time when the presence of Spirit can be felt.

This is also the time when significant signs appear.  Whatever is most relaxing to you – stretching out in a hammock, watching clouds, taking a candlelit bath, or walking on the seashore – do it….and the challenges in your life will diminish and often simply drop away.

Lie back.  Relax.  Put everything aside and take time to renew your energy.  It’s often when you totally relax that new insights and awareness can emerge.

Take deep, full breaths.  Put your feet up.  Be present in each moment.  Do nothing.  Watch clouds.  The answers that you seek will emerge easily, but first you need to stop all activity.  Take naps.  Evaluate your life.  

VALIANT COURAGE

The sacred traveler sometimes experiences the unexpected on the road.  Perhaps a bear appears or someone with less than pure intentions emerges from the woods.  Courage doesn’t mean that you’re not afraid.  It means that in spite of fear and hesitation, you take action.  Face your anxiety and go beyond the boundaries of limited perceptions of yourself.

Any journey of the heart needs courage, and you’re on such a journey.  It takes bravery to go forward when you can’t see around the next corner, but do it anyway.  Do not allow  yourself to be limited by the beliefs of others or even your own limiting beliefs.  Go beyond the boundaries of self imposed barriers.

Live passionately, valiantly and courageously.

This isn’t the time to be timid or hold back.  Gather your inner resources and go forward gallantly with your banner of truth waving in the wind.  Throw your shoulders back and move forward fearlessly.  Take risks.  It’s okay to feel afraid, just don’t let it stop you.  Don’t play safe.

Opportunities will pass you by otherwise.  Speak up for yourself.  Honour your truth.  You are a light bearer for others.  Through your example, people find and act on their truth with courage and grace!

Oh my golly goodness!  You seriously can’t make this shit up!  What perfect guides for this time!!!  So my gorgeous one, I wish for you a week where you too play with the letters RE, and allow yourself the time and space to Release, Reflect, Realign and Receive.  Sending you massive hugs and squeezes!
