Inspiration

September is here and the energy has changed. Fall Equinox is coming!

Happy Melodious, Musical, Magickal, Miraculous, Magnetic, Majestic, Manifesting Monday!

September is here, you can smell the difference in the air here. The mornings are cooler and the geese have started flying and the acorns are dropping like mini grenades as I walk under the Garry Oaks!

I love September (I know for some that sounds weird), but I love the impending Fall, it’s a time of harvest, a gathering together.

The mornings are crisper, the days are still warm, but there is that sense of change.

Kids are going back to school, starting a new class and making new friends. University starts again and all sorts of courses such as drumming, music, spanish and a myriad of others are offered up.

The lazy, hazy days of summer are winding down and there is a shift in the energy that invites us to try something new (even if you aren’t school age) and to be willing to release the old that may be a tad too tight (like a kids outgrown running shoes).

There is also a sense of melancholy for some people when Fall starts to whisper with her crisp breathe. The leaves are going to change and then drop from the tree and the days are most certainly getting shorter – and for some this can feel uncomfortable and lonely. Which I can totally appreciate.

Fall Equinox is almost here (and I love this celebration). It is known as Mabon and is the second harvest, beginning of August we celebrated the first harvest festival which was Lammas.

This festival is a time to look at the seeds that you sowed in the Spring, on every level, and reflect on how they have manifested. Most crops are in and the fields are beginning to look brown and are slowly going to sleep for the winter (unless they are filled with gorgeous orange pumpkins).

This is a time to celebrate the abundance and the harvest, as well as to make plans for the winter and to create community. But we will explore that more over the next couple of weeks.

The energy of September (according to the ever amazing Lena), has changed and it is RATTLING THE CAGE! (Gulp!)

As Lena shares:- “

This month we have 2 eclipses and the Equinox making for an intense time of rattling the structures of our foundations of stability, old patterns and anything we may be fiercely attached to. We have heard the phrase, “shaken to awaken” from others and that is exactly the energy of this eclipse time.

The more stubborn the structure, the more intense the rattling and shake up may be.

Some of you may experience traumatic events that open your instinctive center of survival, giving you the opportunity to clear old patterns and dump karmic debris.

And for some of you the rattling may be simply an experience of discomfort in a situation where you receive more clarity about what you really want, leading to better choices in your life. Whatever the case may be, the most important thing is to manage the aftermath proactively so you can use the lessons and guidance of the events to support your own change.

We are unpacking the trigger of the last New Moon in Virgo that prompted a new beginning. While our energy field got the message, the old habits of the personality and the physical body are slow to catch up and need some prompting and reminding of what we don’t want. So stay out of judgment, blame and martyrdom if you find yourself in one of these reminder situations, and know you have created it for yourself to fast track your personal growth and transformation.”

We are in the midst of the Eclipse portal and the invitation to really step into who you are, what you desire, is huge!

Okay, I have chuntered a ton (not a surprise), so let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide this week, the glorious Faery Forest Oracle were adamant, which made me smile a lot.

“May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.”

Re-read that last line about inspiring and urging us……

Okay, take a moment and come back to your body. Just breathe yourself back. Allow in your mind’s eye the smell of the Fall air to whisper around you, the sense of the new and possible. The pieces or desires you have put on the back burner. Breathe it in, welcome it in. Sit with it.

And then when you are ready, pick a card or cards.

Ready to pick?

Shall we go look?

SHE WHO LAUGHS

There is within your life now a great heaviness, an earnestness, and a sense of great gravity to nearly every situation unfolding. Yes, this is of great importance, and yes, there are consequences to consider. But it is time for you to receive the healing power of laughter, the power that lifts the darkness and releases energy that is stagnant, cold, and heavy from our energy field, indeed from our limbs and cells and hearts.

For you, this laughter is as necessary as surgery at this moment, as it will shake loose the cords strapping you tightly to burdens you no longer need to carry.

Let the light break through, and laugh – as without laughter, there can be no perspective, without laughter, there can be no movement forward, without laughter, there can be a sense of deep abiding resentment. Lift this!! Let She Who Laughs begin to help you seek out moments, people, and situations that stir the sense of the ridiculousness within you, and let the healing and the release of laughter roll through you and lift away the pain at the centre of your being.

Its time is passing. It will melt away with tears of laughter that fall and cleanse and free you from the past….For now, the sun breaks through, and your eyes shine once again with mirth and joy.

Welcome back to the world of delight, friend. It’s time.

THE ANCIENT

The Ancient is so old she is almost beyond time. She is able to speak the truth without compromise – as are you. She is so old, has experienced so much, learned and taught so many lessons, that she has become powerful and influential, just as you are becoming, too. So too are you growing older, coming into wisdom. She knows that while others are now going to come to you for advice and guidance, she sees your humanity – your faults and your flaws and your feelings of unworthiness. She wishes to reassure you.

Others will come to you, seeking knowledge, awaiting a blessing, an initiation, and oblivious to the consequences of the path they wish to walk. Wisdom, true wisdom, understands complexity, and you have developed this quality. The Ancient is honourable and human, and yet more than human, and she is courageous and has made sacrifices – as have you. She sees straight through comforting illusions – as do you.

She represents ancient tradition and the challenge of defining the self, yet remaining with a tradition that you value – and this too is one of your challenges. So take responsibility in your life. You will face the battle of choice, and you will be the antidote to gurus and dominant personalities who claim to have all the answers. The Ancient recognises the challenge of being a teacher. This immersion in a world to learn the ancient arts and venerate wisdom and old ways can be expressed in many forms, but everything you are now learning has value. She is the repository for ancient secrets and the contact between worlds. She is wise – and she has learned to consider every word that falls from her lips, even as she longs to call out for freedom.

ASTRILD

When we love, we can gaze directly into the soul of another human being for a while. This in-love sensation reminds us of who we can truly be when we connect with our own self-love. We feel complete, adored, and we open wide to the experience. Energy surges through us, we crave the touch of the beloved.

We are, for a time, quite mad. The love fire has been lit within you, and you are being asked to allow your own self-love to ignite in return. You are feeling sensual, ready to make love, to explore the boundaries of physical sensation, and you wish reality would simply leave you be for a time so you can fully explore this craving and desire.

About you is the sensation of fulfilment, of satisfaction, and for a time, you will live between the worlds while this powerful experience shakes you to the core. And all the while, this faery being gazes into your heart, willing you to remember that not only do you love, you are worth loving.

Astrild’s cool green gaze observes the fire within you, and will remind you again and again that to love yourself, and to love another with all of your heart, is a kind of baptism, a blessing, a ritual, and a trial by fire.

Passion is your whole world. Let the fire embrace you, purify you, and keep walking through the flames of love.

Wowzer, some delicious energy and guidance there! Enjoy the crispness, the smells, the beginning of the leaves changing and we will explore more of what Fall Equinox brings next week. Also, quite a few of you have contacted me about a reading. I will be opening the doors to those at Equinox.

Have a fabulous week and huge hugs and squeezes!

Woven Together –

Jenny Heston · 1:11 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Misty, Mischievous, Magnetic, Manifesting Monday!

Hello my darling, darling – can you believe it is the last Monday of July!

This is going to be the last reading until September as in August I am immersed in ceremony and ritual, writing and teaching and cooking up amazing offerings in my alchemist cauldron.

But I will be back! (Yes that is a threat lol).

In a chaotic world that continually tries to convince us that we are divided and not connected I had a huge smack in the face this weekend of how wrong and patriarchal that is!

On Saturday I had the honour of leading a gorgeous Blessing Way ceremony for my dear friend Verity who is about to become a mumma.

This is a glorious ceremony and celebration filled with ritual, depth and is honouring the Divine Feminine and the transition into motherhood – honouring the mumma.

Bringing us back to our roots!

This is a sacred celebration that crosses cultures and has been around for thousands of years thus is rich with wisdom, potency and magick, and each ceremony is specially crafted for the mumma to be to support them during labour and to welcome in a gorgeous new soul into the world.

As I was setting up for the ceremony on Saturday in my sanctuary garden (as that is where Verity chose), one of the themes was the weaving together of all the women that would be attending and the plant allies lavender and rose.

I had made lavender lemonade, lavender shortbread cookies as part of the nibbles, and woven lavender posies and lavender oatmeal bath bags as gifts for everyone who was attending.

Then it hit me – lavender!

My sister loved, loved lavender and would have it with her all the time. For me it is Rose, I have it with me all the time!

Today (Monday) is my sister’s birthday and on this day 6 years ago my brother in law and I had the honour of bathing her in a bath with lavender and helping her pick out the outfit she wanted to wear as 4 of her treasured friends were going to come and celebrate her birthday at the Hospice with her for an hour in the afternoon.

After getting dressed she said she would have a little nap before everyone got there and she snuggled down on her bed in a room that I had filled with sunflowers, lavender and roses and that was the last time she was fully conscious. She died 3 days later.

My brother in law (who lives in the UK) had phoned and left me a lovely long voice message on Saturday about how he wanted to get more lavender plants and put them in the garden as they reminded him of Fi and how he wanted one of the Hansa Roses (that are my favourite as their smell is divine) to sit in the middle of them.

Wowzer, wowzer, talk about all the threads that weave us together.

Birth and Death.

Celebration and Grief.

Scents and Memories.

Heart and Hands.

What connects us is often unseen—woven in story, memory, and heart.

So if you ever feel that you are alone and that you are out there on your own – please remember that you aren’t.

In the spaces between words, hands, and moments—we find the fabric of belonging.

I will say the Blessing Way was epic, beautiful, raw and real and hummingbirds and dragonflies came to play with all of us as we were surrounded by the green of my magickal sanctuary.

And today, I am going to play with lavender and make a glorious cake in honour of my most amazing sister that I love dearly.

Okay, enough chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to my delicious guides and asked who wanted to come and play.

These lovely guides came in loud and proud! If they are new to you, please let me introduce you.

“As above, so below. As within, so without. Today, many of us seek to reclaim the sense of connectedness that existed universally in ancient cultures, when human fate was wholly entwined with nature.

The world was seen as a symbiotic entity in which all living organisms interacted and supported each other, from the innermost cellular level to the outermost cosmological level. An essential bridge is being rebuilt between humans and nature, allowing us to access the realm of the transcendent and the land of the luminous.

Herbalism is the medicine of belonging, a gateway through which we keep alive a very sacred aspect to our source. “

With all that being shared, let’s drop in shall we? Take a delicious breath and invite in the energy of endings, as when there is an ending there is a new beginning.

What needs to just gently drop away (no drama), so that something new can grow?

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

REISHI

Retreat

Called lingzhi in Chinese, Reishi represents immortality and is considered the “herb of spiritual potency,” meaning success, well-being, divine power, and longevity.

Said to have been discovered in 396 BC in the Changbai Mountains of China by Taoist monks, it is one of the oldest mushrooms used in medicine. It has long been called an anti-aging mushroom and powerful Shen tonic, a category of medicines that “nourish the spirit.”

Reishi powerfully influences our main spiritual centres: the endocrine, nervous, and hormonal systems. Hormones powerfully impact our perception, mood, sleep-wake cycles, ability to bond with others, and awareness of reality. They activate the nervous system, which is also directly related to igniting mystical experiences.

Reishi is ruled by Jupiter, the “guru of planets,” the one that dictates how we derive wisdom and access to the mysteries of life.

Reishi is inviting you to Pause. It’s time for renewal.

If you feel overwhelmed or mentally overloaded, it’s time to retreat. Take the time to recuperate and recharge, and personal growth will follow. Overstimulation and indecision lead to a sense of weakness, imprisonment, and a feeling that you are evading death.

Like Bear, hibernate or rest before you take on the next project or challenge.

Many Native American tribes have called this space of inner contemplation the Dream Lodge, a place to witness death and see beyond the confines of physical reality by visiting the dreamtime.

Create the space to be in silence and calm the internal chatter. Take time for reflection and nurturing yourself (and we all have that time).

MITRAGYNIA

Shape Shifting

The Indigenous peoples of Southeast Asia have valued the power of this rainforest tree for thousands of years and have used it as a poultice to treat wounds, as well as treatment for a variety of symptoms, including stress, pain, fatigue and fever.

Like Coca leaves in the South American highlands, fresh leaves from the Mitragynia tree are chewed for energy and stamina throughout the day.

Mitragynia was revered among monks in Asia, as it assisted them during long periods of meditation by providing focused attention and positive energy.

Mitragynia embodies elements of both Saturn and Neptune, as it profoundly relieves and decompresses the musculoskeletal system, while granting a freeing and euphoric feeling to the body-mind.

Used in the right amounts, it can greatly assist those with addiction (Neptune).

The balanced side of Mitragynia represents the ability to shapeshift and adapt across realities.

Like the Dragonfly, Mitragynia grants us the power to break through the illusionary facade we often accept as reality, providing us the freedom from pain in order to break through limiting illusions.

Dragonflies, like Mitragynia, help us initiate subconscious healing from the trauma experienced from endless cycles of pain and suffering.

Dragonfly medicine invites us to seek out the parts of our habits that have gone unchanged, unnoticed, and stagnant.

Ask yourself, have I tended to the changes I’ve been wanting to make?

Don’t get lost in the labyrinths of self-doubt.

Break free from illusive belief systems that hold back your transformation.

ANGEL’S TRUMPET

Death

Angel’s Trumpets have an intoxicating scent and flowers that resemble angelic horns aimed downward, symbolising the call of the angels to humanity.

Plants in the Brugmansia genus and relatives like Daturas have a rich history of use among shamans and magic practitioners, even though they are poisonous.

Some South American Indigenous groups, like the Kamsa, Jivaro, and Ingano, initiate their children at a young age into the path of curanderismo – becoming a healer – by ingesting Angel’s Trumpet during a flower ceremony.

Jivaro boys who walk the shamanic path are given the medicine at the age of six to acquire an external-vision-producing soul that lets them communicate with ancestors called arutam wakani.

Angel’s Trumpet is ruled by Pluto and Mars.

Angel’s Trumpet signals a time of catharsis or death.

A deep emotional breakdown is due or near. You may feel lost in your own emotional despair, depression, shame, or unworthiness, but now the angels of discernment and darkness are here to support you.

Coming eye to eye with the darkest feelings within yourself catalyses the greatest awakening. Deeply pause, let go of control, and witness the broken pieces within yourself with loving awareness.

The medicine of the Bat symbolises the need for a ritualistic death of relations, situations, or aspects of life.

Bat, like Angel’s Trumpet, signals catharsis and rebirth, signalling literal or metaphysical death of old patterns and worn out habits.

Understand that you can reconstruct at any time, create something new, deeper, richer and more in alignment, regardless of how shattered you feel.

Wowzer! Love these messages and they tie into the monthly energy (and you seriously can’t make this shit up!)

Wishing you a stupendous week filled with ease, grace and health. See you in September! Big hugs and squeezes!

Simplicity and The Leo New Moon.

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Musical, Muscular, Moony, Manifesting Monday!

Sorry there was no reading last week, but I retore my quad again and I will say – I was fucking foul!

Thus, when my guides and I had a chat about the reading they laughed at me and advised me I was too toxic to share with others (rude!)

I have had a lot of conversations over the last few weeks with clients and friends about “Simplicity”, peeling away all the superficial artifices and really tapping into values, beliefs, creativity and living in a much simpler, more authentic way of life.

A more aligned way of living. Aligned with our heart and soul.

We get so conditioned that we have to do things a certain way and we “should” (frigging hate that word), have these things and be this way. But why if it doesn’t bring us joy?

What if we spent more time remembering to play, to pause and to be real with all facets of ourselves?

That is the energy of this gorgeous New Moon in Leo this week.

“The Leo New Moon on July 24, 2025, is our invitation to stop overcomplicating things.

With the Lion as our spirit guide, we’re being called back to simplicity. This is a time to bring ease into our lives.

It’s a time to remember who you are when you stop trying so hard to be everything to everyone. It’s a time to embrace your inner Lion and the strength, confidence, and presence it commands.

Both Pluto and Eris will be stirring tension under this New Moon, inviting challenges around power and control, but there is a breakthrough on offer if we are willing to let go and invite simplicity.

Leo energy is about heart, courage, and authenticity. There’s nothing small about Leo. Yet, contrary to the drama and grandeur often associated with this sign, the highest vibration of Leo is simplicity. Like the lion, who doesn’t try to prove its power, we are being asked to strip back the noise and return to what’s real and essential.

With so much energy around control and power dynamics stirring under this New Moon, we are being called to look at how we may be micromanaging our situations, routines, habits, relationships, or even our spiritual practice. This Moon reminds us that the more we try to grip, the more we lose our freedom and the further out of alignment we travel.

If we think of the Lion, we can see there is a quiet confidence in simplicity. No need to prove, push, or perfect, just being is enough. This is the heart of Leo wisdom, and tapping into this can help us navigate the harsher energies of this New Moon.”

So how can you Simplify things right now?

What needs to be pruned or put to the side?

I like to think of Simplifying as gardening.

In other words, there are things that are growing in my garden that shouldn’t really be there as they are crowding out all the things that were planted with purpose.

So I gently pull them out, give them a blessing and toss them in the compost!

Life is the same.

And on that note let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

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 Simplicity and the power of the Lion. What do you want to keep? What do you want to release? 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 you tingle and get curious.

Did you remember to pick?

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

LITTLE OWLYN

Wisdom is not heavy, harsh, or cruelly given. Wisdom is as simple as being open and ready to receive – and if you are ready, if you have decided that you are worthy and willing to learn, this great horned owl, my other self, wishes for me to give you a feather.

This feather is a talisman of magick, of wisdom that endures and can be applied again and again. Its power and wisdom will never run dry or fail to speak words of wisdom to you when you hold it in your mind’s eye. The tide will go in and out, but this featherlight piece of wisdom remains with the golden sun, and this wisdom will never fade or grow into a heavy burden, as some knowledge does.

You will wonder what to do at times, because things have changed. But this soft wisdom will speak to you again, and you will find your way. Wisdom is not heavy, crushing, or forceful. This is the truth – this wisdom is soft, light, and to be treasured. It is our gift to you now. Stay still. Give us your hand. And feel the gift that we wish to share with you. Feel the wisdom flow into you. Ahhhhh, lightness.

You will be able now to see more clearly, even when there is no light around you. Night will hold no fears for you. You will hear clearly what people are truly saying when they are speaking with you – their words’ true meanings will be utterly apparent immediately. You will be able to move suddenly and grasp your fate quickly when this helpful being comes to share your life – she is both faery and owl, a shapeshifter in form, and as swift and clear as the rain.

BROTHER RACCOON

Raccoons speak of stealth, remaining undercover, and flying under the radar. Raccoons suggest you take cover, work with camouflage, and stay in the in-between places for a time in order to remain safe. Do not reveal who you are, what you do, or your new idea or project to all. Too often we share what we are planning out loud, giving all, even ourselves, the impression it is already done. It is not.

It needs careful protection, but mostly you need to not draw attention. It does not mean you have to be furtive or sneaky, though some will call it so. It means to quietly get on with your day-to-day and the very soulful business of change without showing everyone every detail along the way. You have far to go – at this early stage it is not advisable to share all. There is a sacred part of you that must be protected, for it could easily be exhausted and exploited by those who will be very quick – even quicker than you – to recognise the value of what you have.

In order to survive, sometimes you must hide, camouflage, or mask yourself from those who would know our true nature and exploit you. Like a precious plant when snow falls, you must go underground, huddle in your seed, and keep quiet and safe from those who would take you and cultivate you and your amazing self for their own reasons.

This is not a time to allow yourself to be used by others for their own agendas.

Do not think of this hiding or melting into the forest as cowardice; it is wise to go to ground for a time now. In order for you, your ancestry, your bloodline, and anything cherished and rare to live on, you sometimes must hide it away for a time, bringing it forward later so that you flourish.

ORCA MAGICK

Orcas are the brilliant, physical, living reservoirs of Earth and galactic history. They are the carriers of wizards on their backs, according to Norse myth, meaning they carry the great sage lines of transformation and transmutation, and can pass this lore along.

They hold this history in the patterns of their ancient songs.

One day we will translate the songs and understand our own past times. Their bodies, those huge, resonating cavities, store the history of the planet herself. They travel the world’s oceans, singing, clearing, and awakening the energy grid again and again, preserving, reviving, renewing ancestral lines that need to be in place for this planet to be whole and well, now and in the future.

Earth is currently undergoing a vast initiation. Some have called this an ascension, although what it truly is has nothing to do with high or low, but with an integration of more dimensions, fully awakening your DNA and charging your auric field to a more powerful capacity. Healing, materialising into new forms, and creating will be greatly enhanced at this time.

You are a keeper of galactic mysteries and you have a strong starperson connection. Starpeople are connected to the growing need to connect to the galactic web, which we are a vital part of. It is time to take yourself outside and gaze up into the night sky. Learn about the constellations you can view from your home. Tune in to the worlds beyond this world, and ask that they connect with you in healthful ways.

Whales can assist with intergalactic travel (without physically leaving the planet), seal and repair any wounds or tears in your energy field, and return to you the parts of your soul that you may be unaware are even missing.

Wow, wow, wow. What gorgeous guides to help us with this glorious New Moon. Sending you massive hugs and squeezes. Be gentle with yourself and take the time to peel back the stuff that you’ve taken on without realising it.

Summer Solstice is here and Goodies Galore!

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Dearest Gentle Reader,

Frigging love starting a post with that line! Summer Solstice, also known as Litha, arrives on Friday June 20th and the fire in you wants to burn with the sun.

To light up and beam out as far as humanly possible!

And why not?

Now you may be thinking to yourself, Jenny I have no clue what you are talking about or how to tap into the energy that is available to me!

Not a problem! There are two glorious goodies for you that will ignite your inner flame!

First off, I have you covered with the amazing Stupendously Abundant Summer Solstice guide. Fondly referred to as SASS, as who doesn’t like a little SASS.

She is a glorious 45 page guide that will walk you through it all with love and tenderness and help you ignite your own fire.

So let me ask – what words come to mind when you think of the Summer Solstice?

Thematically this celebration is about POWER, Strength, Illumination, Confidence, Energy, Self-acknowledgement, Joy and of course – glorious Faerie revels.

It’s time to celebrate and also time to reflect on your personal growth and the meaning of the season of light and growth.

This is the moment of our year when there is the most light available to you.

In terms of consciousness, it is when you are the most present to yourself and who you know yourself to be — the Sun represents the light of all life and consciousness.

At the summer solstice, a doorway in time opens, which our ancestors viewed as sacred and holy.

Litha is a grand portal of energy, space, and opportunity – a chance to let go of fears, doubts, and insecurities.

After the Sun reaches its maximum power, it begins to decline.

Slowly, the night force will grow stronger until its peak at the winter solstice.

Litha is the last chance in our calendar year to activate sacred intentions before moving into autumn and winter, the natural seasons of harvest and rest.

It’s a time to step out in faith and imagine what’s entirely possible for yourself. Dream an expansive vision for your life that will sustain you as the darkness slowly returns with the fall.

Which brings in the 2nd goodie!

After a lovely natter with my guides we are opening up 2 readings that are specific to Summer Solstice, which we haven’t done in two years! The first one is Stand in Your Power and the other one is Hot Mess!

Only 20 spaces will be open from now until the end of June for the Solstice/Litha energy.

Remember, like the Sun, you have your Inner fire.

Your Inner Fire is the fierce, powerful, badass part of you.

The You that does the hard work of bringing your dreams to life. In the same way that crops would cease to grow without the Earth’s sun, your life would shrivel without your Inner Fire.

So let’s ignite it so you can beam like the glorious beastie you are!

Okay, enough chuntering away.

Let’s crack on with the reading, shall we?

These are glorious guides to support you reconnecting with your Dream Song, Your Heart Song, Your Soul Song – your Inner Fire. Let their words and images wrap you in nourishment and niggle away deep inside.

So take a glorious deep breath gorgeous one, and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go take a little look-see, yes?

GO DARK

Your darkness is not your enemy.

It can seem scary, but it’s where new life grows and develops. You do too.

This moment calls you to be willing to be with your own darkness. It asks you to embrace your dark as your beloved ally. To cradle your uncertainty.

The dark night of the soul holds secrets for you that you wouldn’t be able to see in the brightness of glaring certainty.

Poet Mary Oliver spoke about a box of darkness as a priceless gift in her life.

Chaos, crisis and suffering want to gift you a new understanding of who you really are beyond who you always thought yourself to be.

COURT THE FEMININE

The word cunning is closely associated with the fox.

Cunning, like foxes and women, has been given a bad rap.

Many have twisted the word’s sacred origins into something manipulative and conniving.

But the word cunning comes from an older Middle English word “ken”, a range of knowledge or sight.

A cunning person understands that deep internal sight and wide-range vision lead to building an authentic life. Excavate your deep knowing and trust its messages.

This is the way your soul-sight grows sharp, and your instincts return to the untamed power you were born with.

Sharpen your cunning to cut away what no longer serves.

No matter your gender, your life deserves the fierce protection that feminine discernment can bring.

CRAFT YOUR FOCUS

Your vision is a magnifying energy source, amplifying and expanding what it perceives.

In any single moment you have one choice. You can turn your gaze toward what you don’t want, what isn’t working, what you are fearful of, what you worry about.

Or, you can look at what you treasure, what you love, and what you hope for, despite what reality tells you is possible.

Either way, what you focus on grows, right?

Now is the time to use this very simple power to direct the energy and flow of your experience.

When you focus on what you already have with gratitude, and what you want with love and appreciation, you create the energy version of your vision before there is any proof in the material world.

This moment invites you to consciously choose your focus.

Okay, have to say – love these cards! All deep, rich and meaningful! Wishing you an amazing Solstice and huge blessings. Remember to grab your copy of SASS, or gift yourself or a friend one of the Solstice reading specials. Huge hugs!

Mid-Year Pause and Celebration.

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Moodling, Manifesting first Monday of June!

Thanks for all the emails saying “Jenn, why wasn’t there a reading last week?”

Last Saturday, May 24th was my mothership’s birthday and that was the last birthday we got to celebrate with her.

So I took some time to reflect and just be and remember that day, the gathering we had, the food we ate, the laughter we shared and how the whole family were together.

In the afternoon my horde all came over and we gardened together, whilst sharing stories of Mum and then ate a glorious cake in her honour (as she certainly liked her desserts!)

It was an interesting day as it fully hit me two days prior to her birthday that she was dead.

One would think I would have come to terms with that a tad earlier, but to be honest after her death the toxicity and chaos that erupted with my surviving sibling overtook everything else. So grief has been sitting in a shoe box at the back of the closet and is now begging to be opened and processed.

Which brings me to the energy of Summer Solstice (honestly it’s a good segway!)

As we move toward the peak of the year — the vibrant, radiant energy of the Summer Solstice — there’s a powerful moment of pause available to us.

The upcoming Summer Solstice is a sacred celebration of height and fullness.

It honours the sun’s highest point in the sky — the moment when the light has reached its fullest expression. And just as we celebrate the sun’s rise, you are invited to celebrate your own growth, your own becoming.

The Solstice asks us to stop, to witness ourselves, and to honor the journey we’ve walked so far this year.

Nature doesn’t rush endlessly forward. There are natural pauses, moments of fullness and reflection — moments where all of life breathes deeply and takes stock. And you are part of nature, too.

Before you leap into the next chapter, I invite you to stop for a moment.

To honor yourself. To celebrate the path you’ve walked so far.

To gently, lovingly, reflect on what this year has already brought you.

Remember, real growth isn’t just about pushing forward — it’s about noticing. Celebrating. Honouring the ways you have stretched, softened, blossomed.

Each season brings invitations for reflection: Looking back with compassion. Looking forward with soul-guided intention. Rooting your growth in truth, not in hurried expectations.

So are you willing to play?

Okay, enough chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading. The cards that wiggled and jiggled to guide this week are the glorious Sacred Destiny Oracle, guides.

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

Note the line – This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul.

Perfect guides for this time, as nature nurtures and heals and holds us with love and compassion.

So darling one, take a moment. Let the shoulders drop, let the jaw relax and just gently close your eyes and breath. And I mean breath, in through the nose, open up the belly and out through the mouth with a sigh. Imagine nature holding you, supporting you, delighting you. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper.

If you would like to go a bit deeper, come into the magickal garden with me.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

WONDERS

Quartz

Natural rock crystals – clear, amethyst, citrine, rose, and smoky – were revered in ancient times. The Aborigines of Australia called it maban, which was the material through which their shamans and elders gained their magical powers.

The Egyptians believed quartz had mystical healing abilities and would bury their dead with a piece of crystal on their forehead.

The Greeks and Romans believed crystals were solid ice that had been formed by the gods and thus had mystical powers. Even to the present day, people believe that crystals can help manifest their intentions.

Perhaps that is because of the piezoelectric qualities of quartz – the reason why quartz can amplify radio signals.

Like the wondrous crystals – just around the corner, exciting possibilities are waiting for you.

Wonders will be abounding in your life! Sometimes they won’t be apparent at first; nevertheless, they are there. The more you see them and embrace them, the more these possibilities will grow in magnitude.

Celebrate and cherish even the smaller ones, no matter how tiny they may seem. Let go of expectations. Don’t limit the way that you think that wondrous events could appear in your life. Be open.

If you believe, anything and everything is possible.

SUCCESS

The Jungle

Tropical jungles are some of the richest and most successful habitats on our planet. They have incredible diversity – a multitude of plant varieties and animal inhabitants.

They are dense with life-force that is rapidly growing and rapidly changing. The lushness of their vegetation is essential to the ecological health of the earth.

In many ways, the success of the planet depends on the rain forest. These areas are called the “lungs of the planet”. The plants absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen and help reduce the impact of worldwide climate change.

What does this mean for you?

Like the rich jungle teeming with wonders, miracles and life – satisfaction, contentment, and fulfilment are at hand. Success is waiting to expand in your life. Be ready to accept and embrace this success, for it might occur rapidly.

All is possible.

The gates of triumph are waiting to open. Being in a state of gratitude for all the small successes in your life will give birth to larger ones. Your satisfaction will come in many forms and from many areas of life.

Celebrate it all and breathe it all in, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.

This is an excellent time to make commitments, sign contracts, and make deals.

Good fortune will ensue.

TRUTH

Song of the Wind

Wind is the realm of the air elements, one of the four elements of life (air, water, fire, and earth).

Air takes form in the oxygen we breathe as well as in breezes and zephyrs.

It also represents our communication skills. When we speak, it is the air that passes through our mouths that allows us to speak and communicate.

Wind is also prana, the source of life. As you communicate your truth to yourself and others, you’ll find new energy and vitality emerging within your life.

The wind is asking you to be honest with yourself and speak from your heart.

Find your truth. Listen for what is sincere and honest in others.

One of the most difficult things to know is what’s true for you and what isn’t.

Sometimes it takes sincere silence to find your inner voice of truth, but once you find it, let go of anything in your life that isn’t authentic.

Share your truth with others. Release relationships in which you can’t be yourself and can’t be real.

Being genuine, aligned and authentic can allow your spirit to fly and the song of your soul to be heard in the Universe.

Beautiful! So gorgeous, lovely, may your week be blessed, may you be gentle with yourself and practice self care. There won’t be a reading next week as it is my Mum’s 1st deathaversary. However, the following week the amazing Summer Solstice guide will be released, and there may be a glorious Summer Solstice reading special coming up – we are perking it. Big blessings and massive hugs.
