Happy glorious Thanksgiving Monday (here in Canada we celebrate it in October). It has been a glorious weekend filled with family, friends, exploring, turkey and pumpkin pie! We love pumpkin pie soooo much in this house that when a friend says – “I will bring a pie.” I look at them rather askance and say “1 pie for 12 people? Try 9 pies for 12 people!” My boys can happily snarfle down a pie all unto themselves – did I say we love pumpkin pie?

We have a glorious new deck that has done a lot of work this weekend for others and really wants to participate, definitely for the month of October, which I feel is exceptionally appropriate as it is called The Divine Circus, and Halloween is approaching. This is a brand new deck from Alana Fairchild (she created The Sacred Rebels that we have been using) and I love the description of these Oracle cards. “This deck is for those who find it hard to follow rules, conform, bend to authority and generally ‘do what they are told’. May your rebel heart always be bold. May your spirit always be free. May you remember to live the Divine Circus and have fun doing things the way you aren’t supposed to, whilst living your most creative and unique divine destiny.” AMEN to that I say! This deck has a bit of a “darker” feel to it which I find quite interesting as often when we think of those darker aspects of ourselves we tend to stuff them back into that spot they arose from, but by embracing them and celebrating the lessons they can show us allows our light to shine even more brightly as no part of ourselves is being left behind or shamed.

So if you are willing, let’s go on a little journey. If you want to do this with your physical body – great. If you just want to see it in your mind’s eye – great. So I invite you to close down your eyes and take a big exhale – release, release, release. Now take a large inhale, nice and slow as far as you can go, hold for a moment, then exhale with a sigh and release. Let’s do that one again, inhale deeply, deeply and when you are so filled up, pause and hold, then release with a huge sigh. Imagine you are curled up in a tight, tight little ball, you are surrounded by darkness and there is a sense of fear rising up from your ego telling you you should panic. Don’t, just breathe and as you breathe imagine that this little ball you are all curled up into is like a stupendous seed that starts very small and in the darkness. Then as slowly as you can, see your spine start to straighten as you uncurl yourself. You start to open up and your chest feels open rather than concave and into your heart pours a glorious gold divine light. This light is calling you to stand tall with your shoulders back and as you start to move into that position you can feel, sense and see that you are surrounded by light and like the small seed at the start – you have become a strong, healthy plant reaching for the light and stretching out in all directions. As you look down at your feet you see they are covered in darkness and that’s okay, your roots are safe and being nourished. Place your hands on your heart and breathe in the love and protection of the Universe. Feel it course through your body and remember that as the darkness holds the seed of new life safe, until the moment for birth is upon it, new life rises. You can embrace both the darkness and the light. Breathe the glorious light in again and as you release shake your feet and slowly open your eyes.

So have you picked?

RED COUNTESS

Deep within, you know what is true and what to do (or not do). Yet there is so much noise and distraction in the world, and even at times in our own minds, that listening for our inner wisdom can seem like trying to hear gentle birdsong in the midst of a rock concert. Even so, you are hearing an inner truth, and deep down, you know it. Can you trust that it is safe to not only hear your inner voice but act on it too?

Give your truths value. Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense. Know that they’re worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying.

VOICE OF AN ANGEL

You have something to say. There is a unique voice within you that wants to be expressed creatively in the world. Whether it is a conversation you need to have, a truth stated, a song to be sung or a book to be written, honour your voice. Know that it is inspired and can help not only your own spiritual growth, but support others on their path too.

If you do not allow inspiration to flow, you will feel blocked,a s though something that needs to happen naturally is not happening. It is an uncomfortable sensation that can lead to feelings of depression, self doubt, lack of confidence and eventually wear away at your self-esteem. Have trust, courage and confidence in yourself and to follow through on the gift of an idea that has been given to you. This is not a time to keep quiet, play it safe, hold yourself back, or allow others to step up and speak for you. It is your time to speak your truth, to express yourself, to have confidence in your own ideas and inspirations and in your own voice.

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’re most grateful for later on. The real beauty of a situation isn’t obvious to you yet. But trust and have 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.

So my delicious lovely I wish for you a fantabulous week of expansion and adventure. There will not be a reading for the next 2 weeks as I am heading to the UK today! (Very excited and even more impressed that I managed to squeeze everything into one suitcase!) Take care and see you soon.

Happy glorious Monday delicious lovely!!! Can you believe we are at the end of August, this month has just whipped by in what feels to be a tower of boxes, a wall of heat and a pile of sawdust! We have had tons of baking, energy sapping hot weather and the other day as I was shoveling out a truck full of horse manure to create a gorgeous garden bed a huge flash storm hit. One minute it was sunny, the next it was torrential rain and I was getting covered in horse shit (which I didn’t mind) and it was exceptionally refreshing and cleansing. After the storm passed there was a delicious sense of freshness, newness, unfolding possibilities and calmness in the air.

So with that thought in mind (the storm, not the horse shit), let’s take a moment to drop into ourselves, calm the mind and connect with our gorgeous, strong, loving intuition.

Imagine that you are standing at the silent centre of a great cleansing storm. The wind is whipping around you, you can feel your hair lift with it and there is a sense of wildness, change and unknown. All aspects of your life are rained upon, blown about and even messed up a little. How do you feel?

The storm slowly passes and in its wake you are left with soft sunshine, hair in disarray and slightly soggy feet! Some parts of your life will have been washed away. Some other pieces will be strong and stable, a bit messy perhaps but still there nonetheless. How do you feel?

Underneath your soggy feet you see a pattern forming in the cleansed earth, as if it is rising up from the damp, slightly disturbed soil. A golden gleaming geometric pattern of the flower of life glows. Sense the perfection of the form, see how each flower feeds into the next, in symmetry, harmony and balance. See the golden flowers all interlinking spreading off into the distance and as you raise your eyes from this wonder before you there is a gorgeous rainbow shining brightly in the sky.

So in your gorgeous cleansed and grounded state, trust yourself and pick the card(s) that call to you.

Did you pick?

RESTORE AND REPLENISH

You are in need of something so much deeper than rest. You need restoration, replenishment and revival. This will not necessarily come from lying about somewhere taking a moment out of your day or evening activities.

You are more likely to gain what you need by breaking with your routine completely and doing something different. You need some variety, some spice, some change to bring fresh energy into your body, mind and heart. You need to restore and revive yourself by changing the usual flow of energy through your being. You could stimulate this process by going to a different place, meeting different people and taking different action to what you would usually do.

However, it is now time to move, without pushing yourself, beyond what is known, comfortable and familiar. Life is telling you that it is time to put down the paintbrush, the pen, the endless lists and the thinking mind and get into your body. You are in an important transition phase between one level of experience and the next. If you feel as though you are treading water or are in a sort of purgatory – somewhere between your old life and your new life then this especially applies to you. Soon you will have the power and energy you need to reach for the next level – and succeed.

INSPIRATION

An idea has captured your attention – or will do so very soon. It may be a grand vision or the vague sense of something that could be. You are being encouraged to accept the vision, the idea or the inspiration as it is important to your creative and spiritual growth.

The bee is bringing you healing medicine-wisdom from nature to aid the message of the oracle of Inspiration. The bee is a powerful spirit totem. Bees are able to fly with wings that are significantly small in proportion to their heavier bodies. Your idea, even if it seems like a big, substantial plan that might be difficult to “get off the ground” and up and running, can succeed.

Allow inspiration to fill you with enthusiasm, an expectation of magic and marvelous synchronicity, as people, situations and opportunities fall into place to help bring your inspiration into reality. You are meant to think and do things differently . Your inspiration comes direct from the universal creative source and you are being asked to believe and recognise the signature of great intelligence within your inspirational ideas and creative urges – and to act accordingly. Bee-lieve!

THE PERFECTION OF YOUR LIFE

Have you ever seen a storm pictured from above? It can appear to be so beautiful and elegant. This Is certainly different to the ground view which can be quite a violent experience. So too, there is great beauty in your life now. However,at this point in the natural process, you may be experiencing it as anxiety-inducing rather than beautiful. You may sense it as internal chaos. You may feel it is something that is waiting to erupt from within, as a restlessness or an anxiety that you cannot quite articulate but sense vaguely nonetheless.

Whether the chaos seems subtle,strong, internal or external, this oracle brings the same message for you. All is unfolding according to a perfect higher order. You are currently enduring a cosmic, spiritual storm which is having an impact on you. It is clearing things out, ruffling feathers and preparing you for that lovely, super-fresh, uplifting feeling that one experiences after the storm has finally passed.

No matter what appears to be, in truth there is only the unfolding, creative genius of the universe. You are not forgotten. You have not been looked over. You have not been denied, found wanting or rejected as unworthy. Express whatever is needed, however is needed, this will call on the powerful perfection of your life path, as it aligns for the next creative turn of the spiral of life. Trust and directly experience the flower of life unfolding within you and around you.

Have a glorious week, and don’t forget it is New Moon on September 1st. A great time to hit the reset button and get clear on what you want in your life.
