Last reading of the Year. Solstice is Here! And Gifts!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Marvellous, Magnificent, Majestic, Merry, Manic, Manifesting Monday!

Hello delicious lovely!  How are you?  I am sooooo looking forward to Solstice and I have three Solstice gifts for you! (Which you will discover as you read.)

I want to wish you an amazing holiday season – however you celebrate, and to say thank you.  Thank you for being here, thank you for all your lovely emails and messages.  Thank you for being you and sharing with me.  

Solstice arrives on Thursday  the 21st and I am thrilled, as not only is it Solstice, it’s my youngest’s birthday!

But what does the energy of Solstice bring to you?

At the Winter Solstice, when the world appears to stand still, it can serve as a moment out of time, an opportunity to reconnect with our own souls once again.

There’s a very special stillness about the season we are entering. Even though everything appears dead & frozen in the outside world, a new cycle is beginning. You can sense there is magic brewing deep down in the dark.

Winter is like being in the chrysalis stage in the evolution of the butterfly. It’s the time when the caterpillar is wrapped up quietly, in the dark of her cocoon. To the outside world it doesn’t look like anything is happening. (And this is one of the most challenging things about embracing rest: to the outside world it doesn’t look like anything is happening. Our brains scream at us, telling us “you’re not doing anything. You’re wasting your time.”) 

But actually, deep in the dark, a quiet transformation is happening: the caterpillar is evolving into a magnificent butterfly.

This is the same transformation your spirit, and all of nature, is undergoing this season. To the outside world life is still & quiet, there’s no movement. You don’t see anything meaningful happening.

But in the darkness, hidden deep inside, a powerful transformation is occurring. You are evolving into a whole new place in your life.  

It’s a time of dreaming.

Dreaming up the dreams of everything that will grow in your life this year.

Dreaming up new plans, new ideas, new ways of being that will blossom & grow, and become bountiful harvests in the year ahead.

The dreams of everything to come this year are being sparked in your winter’s rest.

Winter is the season when things are revealed by turning deep within yourself.

Embracing the quiet & the darkness – recognizing that you don’t need to do anything for the magic to unfold. 

This is the season of receiving.

Are you willing to receive?  

The first gift I have for you is the delightful story of the Yuletide Faeries, a wonderful story to read as an adult, share with children or grandchildren.  

The second gift I have for you is a 20 minute guided visualisation called Winter Solstice – Heart Weaving.    This lovely guided visualisation walks you into the warm dark, and you are going to meet some amazing guides and allies.  Come dance with archetypes, myth, healing and shamanic transformation.  And weave something new.

The third gift I have for you is the lovely process of The Omen Days!  

And for those who have asked how long “Opening the Doors on 2024 Reading” will be available, it will be available until December 26th, as will The Book of Winter Solstice.

Let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to share this week I thought to myself – perfect!   These glorious guides have only come out once in public, so this is quite delicious, and I love how they decided there were going to be 4 to choose from!

So my darling one,  just settle.  Breathe in the stillness and allow your heart to open and expand and be willing to receive.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug on your soul strings.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

SISTERHOOD OF RECIPROCITY

Tend to your partnerships.  

This could be a time to review or negotiate business, renew romance or friendship, or nurture the very partnership you have with your own soul.  

Much of our world suffers from a lack of understanding what our ancestors knew so well: all life is dependent on the generosity of our planet.  There is no thriving without her good graces for food, water, shelter and beauty, and we’d do well to remember it with reciprocity.

Is it time to share?  Celebrate her bounty?  Give back to her resources?  To your relationships or communities?

Long ago we honoured the lack of resources in the winter season with hopeful light-giving ceremonies.  We celebrated the harvest with offerings and gratitude.  We marked each season, each birth, death and love affair by honouring our Earth Mother as benefactress.

Carry this practice forward, know that all parts of your life are interdependent with the elements, creatures and plants of the earth, the same way that your healthy psyche relies on all parts working together.  

Balance your genius with  your shadow.  Reconcile love with fear.  Strike a balance between logic and emotion.  

All parts of your life that you are proud of must dance with those monstrous parts you fear in order to experience a bountiful, creative life.

Take stock of where you are entwined in a healthy partnership, and where you are not.  

This is a time for tending the dance of reciprocity.  

W.I.T.C.H (Women in Total Control of Herself)

Control. 

No woman alive today needs a dictionary to know what control means within a toxic patriarchy.  

She’s experienced it a thousand different ways before she’s hit puberty.  

It’s alive in the curves of her psyche, in the expanse of her hips, in the marrow of her bones.  

It is domination and restraint.

But in a balanced psyche and in a blanched culture, control can mean something else entirely.

A W.I.T.C.H experiences control through cooperation rather than competition.

She’s engaged with all the parts of her psyche in an attempt to coordinate rather than dominate.

You are being asked, right now, to embrace all the inhabitants of your inner realm, because each deserves respect and a place at the table.  Even the unruly, the inconvenient, the ugly.  

Making a space for all under the banner of wild inclusion and giving voice to the shame, malice and anger, as well as every other outlawed part of the psyche, is the way we create integrity, ensuring that no part of our inner realm is involved with factions, divisions, or rebellions.

When your intent is to create rather than compete, you don’t have to dominate.  Your influence is enough.

This is power-with rather than power-over.

Invite whatever is bothering you today into the realm of inclusion and assert your authority.  

THE TRAIL BLAZER

This is a pioneering moment.

In order to chart where you’re going and empower the path making, you must know your place.

Only when you know your deservedness and embody  your inherent value can you move with the confidence and radiance required to create your own path.

It’s time to shift your allegiance from pleasing to pleasure, from subservient to subversive, though the very act of claiming your inner knowing as the highest authority.  

You will then be willing to abandon everyone else’s expectation and approval before you will abandon yourself.  

Stop fearing your path and start blazing it, loyal to the visions in your head and the longing of your heart.  Trust your intuition to guide you to the next right thing for you, even when you can’t see the entire path or explain it to a mind of logic.

Stop looking for the footprints of those who have gone before you.

Don’t settle for how it’s been for others.

Blaze your own trail.  

SIREN OF SURRENDER

This is a time to let go.

Although underappreciated, there is power in surrender.

A wise sage once advised, “What we resist persists.”

While you may not yet see a new way to go, the old way is closed.  Stop banging your head and hands on the door that refuses to open.  If it doesn’t open, it’s not your door.

This is a moment to acknowledge what isn’t working, and what alternatives are not yet clear, and surrender to that wide open field of unknowing.

Understand that there will be times when further action is wasted.  

Exerting more effort is futile, as it’s only bringing frustration and discouragement.

Know that while society would encourage you to keep pushing, applauding you as you battle and bruise your way through this path, this is a patriarchal paradigm whose time has ended.

Instead, embrace the flow, trust when it leads you to a dead end that there is another way, and it will open when it’s ready.

The days of white-knuckle resilience are over.

Everything is happening for you, not to you, so let go of your original expectation and let yourself experience the generosity of flow.  

Ahhh, my heart is filled with joy as I see the cards my guides picked.  Wishing you an amazing holiday season.  Please help yourself to the free gifts and pick an Opening the Doors on 2024.  I am going to spend time being like a caterpillar in a cocoon and relax, rest, read and play.  See you in January.  Big hugs and big love.  Thank you.

May you be blessed,

May you be happy,

May you be peaceful,

May you be healthy,

May you be safe,

May you awaken to the light of your true nature.

Last New Moon of 2023, Solstice, Omen Days and Mercury Retrograde! Huzzah!

· ·

Happy Mellow, Mothering, Meditative, Mindful, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Okay, grab a large cuppa of something warm and magickal, as we have so much to chat about this week!  Are you ready?  You settled and cosy?  

Let’s see, we have the last New Moon of 2023 on the 12th, (Mercury goes retrograde on that day as well).  Notice I put that in brackets so that you didn’t freak as it is contained, lol! 

We have Solstice (which I frigging love) rapidly approaching. 

The glorious Omen Days course (which I hope you will join – it’s a game changer to putting the year to bed and creating something for 2024).

And Personal Theme readings!

So where should we start?

Personally, I am going to start with Omen Days, aka the Sacred Days and Yuletide. These are the glorious days that happen from Boxing Day to January 6th (do you see why we have the song “12 Days of Xmas?”- hijacked from the Omen Days.)

These are days that are reckoned with at the end of the year to catch the Roman calendar up with the Solar Calendar.

As such these days between December 26th and January 6th are considered to be time out of time.  Almost like you’ve slipped the bounds of the normal calendar.  And you’re in an in-between space.  A liminal space.  

Interestingly in our culture the same is true.  That period between Xmas and the first days of the New Year tends to be a very amorphous time; a time when you very much feel like you’re in transition or in limbo.

This is where the magic gets created for 2024.  

This is a different way of closing the year …

The Omen days are a beautiful opportunity for you to process, release and close the old year, and subsequently open yourself to something new – but in a more feminine-mystical way. 

This a welcome and soothing counterpart to society’s more Yang-oriented obsession on progress and moving forward.  

THIS IS NOT A THING TO ADD TO YOUR TO-DO LIST, THIS IS A BE! NOURISH! 

And as I mentioned – I have created a glorious course with all sorts of yumminess that will have you ditching your “New Year’s Resolutions” with abandonment.  And best of all it is my Solstice gift to you!  (Yes, that does mean free.)  

I would love for  you to experience a different way of putting 2023 to bed and envisioning 2024.  One that you can feel in your bones, and cells.  That calls to your ancient memories.  

So why am I bringing that up first?

Because the New Moon in Sagittarius that happens on the 12th of the 12th,  invites us to line up our arrow, take our aim, and then trust in the wind! Life is a ride, there is only so much we can control. So perhaps overall, that is the message this New Moon has for us.

Set your intentions, focus on healing, acknowledge your intuition, move slowly, but ultimately, trust the ride!

1212 reminds us of completion, wholeness, and greater wisdom.

So with Mercury retrograde happening on the same day (isn’t that fun?) “You do need to keep in mind the deeper levels, it is a powerful time for trusting our intuition and paying attention to our senses beyond the typical five.

Mercury Retrograde, happening on the same day as the New Moon, will heighten its energy and thin the veil. We may feel a little indecisive or confused, or instinctively feel that all the facts have not been presented to us.

When Mercury Retrograde is involved, moving slowly and methodically and trusting our intuition is important. With the veil thin, we have the potential to receive clearer guidance from our dreams, intuition, and higher self.”

Okay, now do you see how all the pieces – Omen Days, New Moon, Mercury Retrograde and Personal Theme Readings tie in?

Oh hang on, I forgot to mention Personal Theme Readings – or Opening the Doors to 2024 as I call them.  Instead of writing about it (and making you question when I am going to shut up), you can pop over and see if it resonates for you.  

My glorious email community got first dibs on Friday last week.

Wow, that was a lot to impart (and I hope you absorbed most of it).  Let’s crack on with the reading!

Okay so when I asked my glorious giddy guides who they wanted to play with this week.  I was a tad surprised!  Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as not to do so would be rude!)

At the edge of the mind awaits the holy wilderness of the soul.  

It beckons you, like a great forest filled with vast mysteries and wonders.  While this mystical realm exists in a higher dimension, beyond normal reality, it is real nevertheless.  To enter this mystical realm, it’s simply a matter of having an open heart and an open mind.  

In this healing and holy place, long-sought answers to your deepest questions become known.  Ancient wisdom emerges.  Revelations about your future are revealed.  Hidden talents and abilities are activated with you.  It’s a place where miracles unfold, and your spirit can fly. 

 In the deepest sense you remember who you are.  

Okay gorgeous bean, here we are with the holiday season rapidly approaching, and yet the place of Solstice.  The longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.  

The place of release and moving into the warm, feminine darkness that nurtures and supports.  I invite you to take a long, deep, luxurious breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.  Let your face relax, your jaw relax and the worries of the day drop to the floor like soft gentle rain drops or snowflakes. 

I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a glorious warm dark night sky, you feel safe, you feel supported and held and as the clouds pull away  you see stars that will guide you.  Breathe that in.  Allow this gorgeous Feminine Darkness to gently wrap around you and guide you and then when you are ready pick a card or cards that call to you.

You picked yes?

Shall we go see?

DAFFODIL FAIRY

New Beginnings

You feel a tap on your shoulder, and in a flash of yellow, you see a Daffodil Fairy fly by you.  In a high, sweet voice she says, “The best is yet to be!  It’s time for a new beginning!”  With glee, you race after her into the forest.

Life goes in cycles.  Just as spring follows winter, a new cycle is beginning in your life.  In the phases of the earth, the plants die in the fall so that there can be new birth in the spring – it’s the universal dance of death and rebirth.  There’s a time to end and begin, and this is the close of one cycle and the beginning of another.

We associate the daffodil with spring, as it is one of the first flowers to emerge after the snows.  Its shape echoes the feeling of trumpeting in the new season; its colour suggests vitality, radiance, and sunshine.  

It’s time to wipe the slate clean; it’s time to release the old and start again.

It can be difficult to release familiar routines, situations, or relationships when they no longer empower you; however, your higher self encourages you to not cling to the old, but set sail into new waters.  If you find yourself afraid to let go, you are urged to face your fear and allow yourself to stretch in a new direction.

The Creatrix is at your side, and wonderful opportunities will be born in your life.  Wholeness occurs when you can say yes to both endings and beginnings.

It’s time to start a new project or a new cycle.  Life force and vitality are emerging.  Release that which doesn’t serve and support you.  Make way for a new start!

FOGGY BOG

Patience

The fog in the forest is so dense, you can’t see your hands in front of your face.  You take a step forward; the soil is soft and spongy.  You realise that you are standing in a bog and to go forward is to risk sinking deeper into the mud.

The best strategy is to be still and wait for the fog to lift.

Be quiet and still.  The time is not right to go forward now.  

It’s hard to see what lies ahead, and the truth of things may not be as they initially appear.  Events that seem one way may, in fact, be completely different.

Just as the egret exhibits great patience as he waits for a fish to emerge, so too must you be still and allow the truth to emerge.  In this state of obscured visibility, your imagination can surge forward and spark your intuition.

If you can wait long enough, your sixth sense will be ignited.  Listen to your inner yearnings and pay attention to those seemingly random thoughts.  

Water represents emotions, feelings, and the subconscious.  When the water becomes condensed as fog, it obscures the true shape of things.  We can’t see clearly the way we can in the light.

Don’t allow unexamined emotions to overwhelm your growth.

Have patience.  Wait until the fog lifts before taking action.  The truth will emerge in time; you just need to go deeper.  

Follow your intuition.  

GUARDIANS OF THE LAND

Protection

“You are safe.”  These words seem to emerge from the land and radiate from the trees to echo in your soul.  You hear these words again and again.  

The Sacred Guardians of the Land are whispering to you, “You are safe.”  

You know that you are protected and cared for.  You can feel tendrils of their loving energy wrap around you and embrace you.  Their unleashed power cocoons you in safety.

You are enough, just as you are.  No matter what has happened or occurred in the past, the truth is that you are absolutely and unconditionally enough as you are.

You are loved.  You are cherished.  

Do not be concerned about outside forces and the judgements and expectations of others.  You are protected in your own energy field.  Envision a protective shield around yourself and around your home.  Spend time with people and in situations that uplift your energy rather than draining it.

You are safe and surrounded by a glorious protective shield.  You are not alone; your life is guided and protected by higher forces.

Within this knowing-ness you can soar to great heights.  Breathe wee one.  Trust.  

Oh my giddy aunt!  Those glorious beasts were delicious.  How did they resonate for you?  So darling one, wishing you a week of ease, grace and flow.  Don’t get tangled in any one else’s stuff, tinsel or lights.  If it resonates for you to come join Omen Days – please do.  If  you want to find out your Personal Theme, please do.  If you just want to be left the fuck alone and celebrate Solstice as you like – grab the Winter Solstice book.

See you next week, for the last reading of 2023 (as I am taking the Omen Days off to Be, Create, Plan, Cocoon and Relax.)

Holy Hannah it’s December! What does December hold in store for You?

· ·

Happy Musical, Merry, Muddling, Mysterious, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Holy Hannah, December is already here!  How are you doing?  How are you feeling?

I set my intention about how I wanted to move through December by going to a glorious candlelit concert in Christ Church Cathedral on the night of December 1st.  

500 or more candles, a glorious quartet and an amazing young opera singer.  It was soothing, healing and serene.

Which totally explains all the messages that have been handed to me about how to support and help this month, with the swirling energies of December and my guides and I have been mapping 2024!  

Thus, we are doing a “Theme reading” – what is your personal theme for 2024? 

Each year we get a new tarot card that lets us know what will be in store. The card shows us what is on the horizon and where there is work to be done and what to expect from 2024.  

This reading is designed to support and empower you for the year ahead as we dive deep and explore the themes and energy of your theme card.  

Many of you found this super helpful last year and have requested that it be available again.  

So voila, it is!

Now this isn’t just light and fluffy as they are melding in all the energies of 2024 with your theme to give you a delicious overview of what is being asked of you in the coming year.

There is also going to be a glorious Winter Solstice Guide.

And what’s super cool is we are approaching Solstice, and the time between Solstice and into the early New Year is a glorious liminal time. A time to really dream your seeds into being and to deepen into who we are, what we want, how we want to feel and what needs to be reset. 

So I have created a glorious free course and a group for everyone!

And yes, in January their is a glorious MasterMind Circle with a select amount of seats starting in the New Year where  you will learn energy management, boundaries, values, self mastery, collapsing old mirrors and so much more.  But we will talk more about that later.

So the top 3 will be coming out at the end of the this week, and if you are on the email list you will get first pick for the “theme reading” spots.  

Why am I doing this? 

I was in a grocery shop the last week before December started and the Xmas music was being piped through every speaker, and I noticed this chap (employee), looking very “pained” and fed up. 

So I stopped to have a chat, he shared that listening to Xmas music for 8 hours a day for the next 4 weeks will drive him nuts!  How with his father and best friend dying in this last year he was feeling crushed under the expectations of others.  The expectation to be sparkly, bright and merry.   Fair enough! 

So I listened, gave him a few suggestions and asked him if he would like a hug (which he did, even if it was only one armed at the moment).  

A few days later I had been invited to co-convene a group for women in their early thirties, and when I asked – “What weighs on your heart right now?”  The Tsunami of sharing and emotion that came pouring out was incredible!

Again, the overwhelm, the being tired, the expectations that they should have it all together and create “the perfect Hallmark Xmas for their family”.  The desire to cocoon, hibernate, slow it down instead of speeding it up (but what would the in-laws think?)  Wowzer.

Now I see why my guides were adamant last week that we do a reading pertaining to bandwidth and boundaries!

I love the holiday season – but what I love is the darkness, the sparkly lights, the turning inward, time spent creating, listening and cocooning.  Time spent in a meaningful way with people I love and as we get closer to Winter Solstice – dancing in the liminal time and taking time for me.

So let’s recreate what this month can mean for each of us in a way that nourishes us, supports us and heals us.  Thus, allowing us to step into 2024 with ease and grace, yes?

As Lena shares, the theme for December is: “Revalue and Reprioritize”.

We are still in sorting, shifting, decluttering, releasing, re-organizing mode, but now with a focus on what we value and where our priorities have been that need to be examined and shifted to accommodate recent insights, growth and evolution. 

This month is going to require discipline if we are to stick to the task of uncovering our truth as opposed to what we were imprinted to believe. 

We have been taught by culture what to value, what to strive for, who to be with, what to do, how to act and what not to wish for. 

This is all up for review this month and the discipline will be to keep on track and not be distracted by other people’s drama, reactions, projections and process.

Do you see how this all ties in together?  

What do you value?  Peace or other people’s expectations?  What nourishes and supports you? (And for the record, that is NOT selfish, it’s vital.)

Okay, enough chuntering on.  When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide, The gorgeous Faery Blessing cards were most adamant!  How positively perfect!   

To be Blessed, or to offer a Blessing is a powerful thing.  

Now if these cards are new to you (which they probably are), please let me introduce them (as it’s rather 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.  

The blessings of the faeries can bring us back into relationship with ourselves, back into relationship with the elements, 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. ”

Please read that last line again. Bring us back into a relationship……..

So darling one, with yesterday being the first candle of advent – the candle of Hope.  Stepping into the darkness  to release, there is a place for Hope. 

But what is Hope?

“Hope is a feeling of trust, security, and a reason to keep going. It is a passionate desire of our heart. It is a feeling of expectation and a longing for a certain thing to happen.” – Verity Russell

So let me ask – What do you Hope for?

Thus with the thought of releasing and filling any space with Hope, I invite you to close your eyes down and just breathe.  

For those of you who want to go deeper there is a lovely guided visualisation for you to explore Hope.  Just breathe, trust and allow this all to swirl.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug.

Did you remember to pick?

Come on then sweetie, let’s go have a look!

A BLESSING OF A SAFE PLACE IN THE WORLD.

The Faery gift of a sanctuary, a space in which to fell completely supported and loved.

The Faeries know what it is like to find the safe places in the world – for theirs are under siege, and have been for such a long time.  The faeries know how to find the little home in the forest or the garden that is growing wild, the roots of old trees and the hollows beneath the sacred hills.

In these places, they have grown stronger and stayed safe, and they now transfer to you a part of this gift.  You will now find places and spaces within the world where you will feel free to be completely yourself, where you, too, can grow strong and bright again, and need have no fear.

Let there be a shelter and a sanctuary for you and your soul, where you can learn what it is you are meant to do next, and where there is no harsh word spoken, only guidance that can help ease us all into the next stage of our lives.

Let the safe spaces become our homes and our workplaces, our friendships and our schools.  Let the world become a safer space, and let the natural world shelter you with her turnings and showings of the changes about you.

Make not a fortress of this space you find, but let it begin to grow in your heart, so that wherever you go, others feel safe with you, and the world changes, in small but bright and beautiful ways, all as a result of this blessing of the faeries.

Blessings of a sanctuary, a safe space to you, friend. 

BLESSED BE.

A BLESSING OF AWEN.

The Faery gift of Divine and Flowing Inspiration.

Let the faeries bless you now with their gift of the Awen, the inspirational flow of energy that can bring to life inspirational new projects, friendships, wisdom, and understanding.  

With every breath you take you absorb the Awen, and you feel more connected, more unique, more divine, more magickal.

Let the Awen come to you, now, tender and new as a bud, and 

let yourself feel the blessing surround you with a visionary new approach to your life.

Let yourself drink down the faery magick of the Awen, and let its sweetness and mystery uplift and re-engage you in life’s every moment.  

May the divine breath of the sacred trees be yours.  May the ways of the creatures of the sky, the land, the sea, and the fire be known to you.

May you know that you now can change, and learn, and study from nature herself in wonderful ways, and thus this life is now full of possibilities.  

When the faery blessing that is the precious gift of the Awen arrives from the Tylweth Teg, know that its blessing will allow you to be wise, yet filled with wonder, and to rejoice in the gift of this life

Blessings of the faeries to you, and of the Awen, friend.

BLESSED BE.

.A BLESSING OF STILLNESS.

The faery gift of pause, calm, and opportunity to be tranquil.

It is this moment, the one long moment before all the other moments, with their cares and responsibilities, gather about you.

Let the faeries give you their gift of time, their blessing of the long moment to gather about you and pause within, while you cease that must be done.  

Pause now, and let them take you within – either within your own self, to the place  you have nurtured there, the grove within, or to the grove, or to the sea, the lake or the river, the tree or the garden, the fireplace or the rocking chair, and be still awhile, human child.  

And in this space, let calm return.

Let peace quietly sit beside you and talk to you of how much there is to be glad for.  Let an old friendship reignite, the one between you and your soul – and for these long moments between all the other moments, let yourself be taken into that world between the worlds and be still.

And when you return, there will be great presence to you – and you will be restored to your own centre once again.

BLESSED BE.

Well that was quite delicious if I do say so myself!  Sanctuary, Inspiration and Stillness – the perfect messages for this month!  Whoot!  So glorious gorgeous ones, I wish for you a blessing of Hope, Ease and Grace as you move through this month.  Be kind to yourself, and if you are part of our email community you will get first dibs on all the offerings.  Big hugs.

How Are Your Boundaries and Bandwidth on this Full Moon?

· ·

Happy Moon filled, Marvellous, Magnetic, Meritorious, Manifesting Monday!

Interestingly enough I wasn’t going to do a reading this week, but my guides (or posse as I call them were super frigging clear – they needed to talk, they needed to talk about bandwidth, boundaries, self worth and so much more – so here we are.)

But first let me say thank you for all the wishes, love and healing vibes – my ribs are slowly mending and I am feeling more like myself! Now here’s a question for you……

Let me ask, on this Gemini Beaver Full Moon, how is your bandwidth? 

This post may be triggering for some people and I can appreciate that and it may piss some people off and I can appreciate that.  Always remember, how you react is your choice.  

Now what do I mean by that word “bandwidth” exactly?

Bandwidth is the measurement of your emotional, mental, spiritual and physical energy that you have available for you.  

Here’s a really easy mathematical example to help you with this concept. (A concept I learned about 20 years ago when working with Caroline Myss). 

You wake up every morning and you have $100 worth of energy to spend in your day.  

As you stumble out of bed and into the shower, you run through your to-do list and your shoulders drop as there are some people you don’t want to interact with – but you need to.  There goes $25.00 of your energy.

As you make your coffee, you turn on the tv and the news is blaring.  Hundreds of people are dying in the war between Israel and Gazza.  Women and children are being killed, hospitals are being bombed – your mind immediately grabs onto that and starts trying to make sense.  And disappears down a rabbit hole, there goes another $40.00 of your energy budget.

As you move through your day and encounter people (who too have limited bandwidth) and are sharp, not listening, don’t even see you.  There goes another $35.00 of your energy budget.

So guess what?  You have just spent your energy budget on the past, the rabbit holes and trauma.  (Harsh I know). 

Now, if you are an empath without healthy boundaries you are going to absorb and not observe, and therefore your energy will get sucked dry at a rapid rate.  But I can 90% guarantee that you will still try to show up.

“If you’re feeling like you’re on your last nerve, like you can’t understand people, or why they’re not hearing you, or even why they are not following simple instructions…Instead, they are misinterpreting, forgetting, dumping on you, unable to hold you as a whole person, are not tracking you… whatever shortcoming it is you’re experiencing right now, please bear in mind that it’s really not personal: People just do not have it right now.”

They do not have capacity for whatever it is you need.

Do you need them to hear your actual words and not assign ill intent to them? They can’t do that right now. 

Do you need them to speak to you using different words, tone, or inflection? They can’t do that. They do not have it in them right now.

Look around at the world. Read the room. 

They are beyond capacity. They are running on fumes. (As are you some days.)

They do not have the ability to bring their whole best self to an interaction right now. They are a trauma response waiting to happen.

This is where self attachment (knowing who you are, what you need, your values and having healthy boundaries is vital!)

This is where practising self care techniques, havening, vagus nerve soothing, and taking supplements is important.  

This is where you need to be really connected to your self-worth and your values right now. 

If I were to ask you what your top 3 core values are right now, would you know?  Could you describe them in depth?  Do they wend through all areas of your life?

You have to have a clear line on your moral compass. You have to know what’s the most important thing to you. And do it!  

As that old saying goes “If you don’t fill your own well, there is nothing.”

Give yourself a fucking break!  Invite Grace into your day.  

Tie that into the Gemini/Beaver Full Moon energy and wowzer.  

“We have almost reached the end of the calendar year and under the November Full Moon, we may begin feeling that it’s time to release and let go of any heaviness 2023 has brought our way.

While we still have one more Full Moon to go in December, the Gemini Full Moon on November 27, guides us to begin thinking about what we wish to cleanse and what we wish to purge.

What do we no longer want to carry in 2024? What has become too heavy and too burdensome? What has been taking up far too much of our resources?

It’s time to start thinking about letting the heavy things go. It’s time to start clearing our plates so we can move through 2024 with more alignment, grace, and ease.

Use this November Full Moon to start assessing what is too heavy to hold and what you wish to be free of come the new year. Set your intentions and put them out to the Universe under the Full Moon. Allow them to be carried by the powerful cleansing energies that the Full Moon brings.”

So please darling one, if you take away anything from this writing.  Bandwidth, boundaries and releasing the yes’s that should be no’s.  

And for those who are interested, there will be a powerful MasterMind Circle for a select few starting in the New Year where  you will learn energy management, boundaries, values, self mastery, collapsing old mirrors and so much more.  If you are interested in hearing more make sure you are on the email list.  

Okay, with all that being said let’s crack on with the reading.  

If you have never met these guides, let me introduce you.  

Faeries are magical beings who are guardians and protectors of our precious planet.  They care for plants, flowers and trees, and us daft humans.  They want everyone to experience their ancient wisdom and to feel reconnected to the Earth, our home, and to self.  

The faeries are delighted to spiritually support and encourage you on this fantastic journey as you walk upon the faery path.  And they remind you – there’s more to life than what you can see with your physical eyes.  

Perfect guides for this time!  

So darling one, just BE for a moment.  Allow your breathing to slow down, the todo list to drop to the floor and imagine filling your own well with magnitude, light, love and ease.  Breathe that in and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.  

For those who would like to go a bit deeper into the energy of Magnitude, or feel they need a wee bit of help with filling their tank.  I have a glorious guided visualisation for you.  

Did you pick?

Let’s have a gander, shall we?

MOON SECRETS

Cycles

Life is all about cycles.  Creation depends on cycles.  The cycles that create life on Earth are meshed with those that create and run the Universe.

We are all aware of the moon’s cycles and the effects that they have upon life on Earth.  

From our ties to our reproductive cycles, the moon has a great influence upon our lives.  

For certain, the Universe also has many other cycles that influence us.  Everything in existence is cyclic in one form or another or it could not exist.  Cycles bring order to the Universe and to our lives.

There is a season for everything.  Everything must happen in its own time.

A cycle forms a circle, which symbolises continuance of cosmic energy flow.  The energy that animates each of us is never ending.  It was in the beginning and will ever be.  It can change forms but it cannot be destroyed. 

Learn to know the cycles that affect you.  Sense them.  Pay attention and notice all the cycles around you in your life.

The seed that sprouts and grows has a cycle.  Day and night are cyclic.  You breathe in and you breathe out.  

What all these cycles tell you is that there is order in the Universe and there is order in your life.

You just have to acknowledge the order and flow with it.  Don’t fight it.

Know that when you relax into life, things begin to work more smoothly as you are no longer fighting against the universal energy patterns, but moving within them.  

“Goddess Moon……

Who reflects the cycles of the Universal force,

Help me to remember

All things have their perfect time of being,

As well as their perfect time of ceasing in this realm.

The great wheel of existence turns continually.

Help me to remember 

I am a party of the wheel and of all that is.

I am!

So be it!”

Celebrate life’s cycles today!

GIFT REVEALED

Surprise

Faeries love good surprises.  

However, when they are faced with a  surprise that isn’t quite what they asked for, they pout.  Pouring soon turns to a smile and laughter as they realise that everything comes with its own gift.  

They always look until they find the gift.  

If life gives you something that you aren’t completely thrilled with, keep an open mind.  Often the best things come disguised.  Look below the surface and see what a person or situation holds for you.  Do not be quick to judge new people.  Not everything is revealed on the spot.  

Connect with the person and work to understand where they are coming from.  Their experience is different from yours.  So take the time to see what makes them tick and what they have to offer.  They are just as important as you are.

Do the same with situations….understand that what appears to be the case may not be the truth at all.  

Remember that solutions can come in the strangest of ways when you allow them to do so.  

Always ask that Spirit create the perfect situation for you.  Find the gift in all things.

“Oh Spirit of the night,

That hides the light of day,

I call upon your wisdom to help me on my way.

To look below the surface and see what lies within.

I cast about some fairy dust to sprinkle at my whim.

I judge not that what I see, but look and let it be.

For I do  know within my grasp a gift is there for me.

So be it!”

Surprise someone today!

WATER ELEMENT

Flow

Water is the elixir of life on Earth.  

It is also a symbol for the astral fluid (or Universal Energy) that permeates all things.   Water deserves our respect and gratitude since without it there is no life.  

Water element is also associated with the divine feminine.  It is about love, fertility, emotion and is also associated with the subconscious mind.

Water has no fixed state, it is in a constant state of flux.  How does water show up in your life?

Do you squander it?  Are you aware of it?  How are your emotions?  Are they tumultuous or on an even keel?

It is totally natural for emotions to fluctuate, but if they are peaking and troughing, ask this glorious Water Element Fairy to help you keep them in balance.

This water fairy dances in the flow of the energy around her.  She is joyous and buoyant as she moves with the current.  She does not fight it, she moves with the flow.  She knows that this fluid energy will take her where she needs to be and bring to her what she needs and desires.  

As water is associated with the subconscious mind, you may also be looking at a need to follow your subconscious.  This can be done in dream work, as there are many messages if  you just take the time to focus on them.  

Pay attention to your intuition as it works to guide your daily life.  Ask the element of water to purify your emotions and your intentions.  

Ask it to help you see clearly, as in a calm pool of water, what you need to know about yourself on a deeper level.  You might be pleasantly surprised by what you discover about yourself.  

“I honour the fluidity of life.

I dance in the spirit of water.

I drink in its substance, deeply.

I am thus sustained!

So be it!”

Be buoyant today!

What a gloriously lovely reading! I’m so glad my spiritual posse badgered me to share what they wanted to say. So darling one, I wish for you a week of practicing healthy boundaries. Self attachment. Anything that nourishes you and fills your well. Sending big hugs and squeezes.

Ritual, Beaver Full Moon in Gemini and American Thanksgiving!

· ·

Hello delicious lovely, happy Magnificent, Marvelous, Magical, Mighty, Manifesting, Majestic, Mindful, Mesmerising Monday!

(Have to say, I love the letter M lol).  Did you know that in Egyptian writing, its ideogram is derived from the character for water, which explains why it’s so gracefully written. In terms of Roman numerals, it represents the number 1000.  I really quite like the idea of the Egyptian ideogram and the letter “M”.   

I don’t know about you but for me this last week has been an interesting weave of ups and downs and really having to manage my energy carefully as I did something rather daft last week and ended up with 3 displaced fractured ribs and internal bleeding!  (Not what I had planned by any stretch!)

So Remembrance Day was spent in the hospital (again), where they were trying to decide if they would drill a hole in my chest and put a tube in. (No!)

Thus, I have had to do a full energy overhaul to ensure I didn’t go down the rabbit hole of fear and anger.  Let alone get sucked into the collective vortex of dismay – it’s been most interesting to say the least.  

However a gorgeous piece that has come out of it is – 

No, has become a complete sentence in my world.  Just No.  

So as American Thanksgiving is rolling in along with the build up to Xmas we will talk about energy management and how to keep yours and mine clear, clean and strong.

The other week a few people talked to me about ritual and what I found interesting was their thought that it was highly complex, time consuming and that you needed multiple “special” tools for it.  Hmmmm, I don’t agree with that.  Sure you can make it that way if you would like, and there are certainly times that you really want to make it super duper special, but for the day to day it doesn’t have to be that way.  So let me share with you how I view and interpret the word “Ritual” and what it means to me.  

To me a ritual is an intention made manifest, it’s that place of connection with the Divine, Universe, God/Goddess or however you chose to name it.  In other words, a ritual takes an idea, thought or emotion and gives it a physical form in the world.  So for example when I invite or suggest that perhaps at certain times there are things that you might want to write down, release and burn – guess what?  That’s a ritual.  When you sit down at New Moon and write your wishes/intentions out, guess what?  That’s a ritual.  All it took was a brief moment of time, paper, pen and something to light either a candle or the paper with.  

To me ritual allows your body, your cells, your essence to understand your intention.  Does that make sense?  So what makes a mundane activity into a ritual is your consciousness while doing it.  If you are smudging yourself or home, what is your intention?  If you are having a salt water scrub shower or bath, what is your intention? 

When you light a candle every day when you walk in the door, what is your intention? 

Remember energy follows intention and attention follows energy and actions follow attention. 

Thus, a ritual can be a celebration such as the upcoming Thanksgiving in the States or it can be a practice which can be repeated daily, monthly or yearly.  When ritual becomes a practice this allows us to go deeper, to explore all the various nuances and of course as we all know – repetition leads to mastery (think of that daily meditation, exercise, journaling etc).

To all my American friends, Thanksgiving is coming up this week and I hope you take time to just BE, Play, be Thankful and Feel.  For some people family holiday celebrations can trigger all sorts of stuff, some great and some rather challenging.  

So remember to take the energy of the Full Moon that happens at the same time and just get clear about how you want to feel and what is okay for you.  Energy Management!  

Okay, I do have to ask what’s with the Black Friday Sale thing?  I appreciate a good deal, but I went once to a store in the states on Black Friday and it was insane!  People were pushing, shoving, being rude all for $100 off of an item they wanted.  Totally terrified me and have never gone to a Black Friday sale in person again.  

With that being said I do wish you all a marvelous Thanksgiving filled with family, gorgeous food, connection, joy and big laughter and remember Gratitude!

The Full Moon is on Monday November 27th is in Gemini and called The Beaver Moon.  Now what is the energy of this wonderful moon? 

“The full moon in Gemini delivers the goods in terms of versatility. That’s because this lunation is ruled by none other than Mercury—the messenger of the gods himself.  This full Moon is all about action and change. Will you choose to remain stagnant in the cycles of your past or will you be consciously moving forward by enriching your spiritual blessings? As we move in step with the coming end of our calendar year, we choose enrichment of spiritual blessings or remain stagnant in our past.

Suddenly life is moving at an accelerated rate and be prepared to keep up with it during this full Moon until the next full Moon in December.  Be flexible and not so rigid with your thoughts or actions.

This full Moon is about leaving behind the noose of old habits, patterns and broken dreams.  Here is an appropriate quotation from President John Kennedy who passed 55 years ago November 22.  “For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.”  Think on this quotation.

What has been cannot be changed and it is time to let it go, while we lean forward to embrace all that lies ahead.

The lesson, energy and influences of this full Moon helps us to create a new legacy and to finally free ourselves from all obstacles, barriers and blocks that prevent our individual prophecy and birthright.”

Well that is certainly an interesting Full Moon to accompany Thanksgiving don’t you think.  

To help you deepen into this lovely Lunar Cycle there are some delicious journal prompts to help you delve a wee bit deeper.

The cards that wiggled and giggled to come support this week are The Divine Circus Oracle, which made me laugh and nearly snort tea out of my nose! 

Of course they would come, especially as we may be rubbing up against people that we love but sometimes find quite challenging to be around.  Now, if you have never worked with this deck before let me give you a brief introduction – “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.  My 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.”  The crystals that came to play are the ones from the beach, the gorgeous rocks that I pick up every morning and bring home to their beautiful bowl.  And of course some delightful rose petals and Selenite to amplify.    

Thus, I invite you to take a pause and a moment for yourself.  Just BE and as you breathe in a lovely deep breath resonant with giving Thanks/Gratitude and as you breathe out through your open mouth release the past, the old, the worry and tension.  Breathe like that for a few lovely, luscious breaths and when you are ready ask for the guidance that you need this week and then pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a little look see, shall we?

CROWN OF THE BUTTERFLY BAMBINI

Just as nature imbues the butterfly with an innate ability for radical transformation, so too do you have natural instincts within, guiding you to grow in dramatic, utterly life-changing ways.  Progress is your perfection.  Growth is your attainment. 

Do you shun what you have been or mistakes you have made?  Or instead, do you wear your ability for transformation as a sacred crown of power?  

Transformation is an ability, an art, a sacred power.  It requires an ability to go through the death of an old self, to be reborn again. That death might be an identity, a lifestyle or career, or an inner sense of self that no longer seems enough to truly reflect who you are becoming. 

It requires both strength and flexibility, to be like bamboo, to bend without breaking. 

Are you willing to let go of what you have known, who you have been, without judging it, except to understand that you are outgrowing your past and becoming your future in this very moment? 

This takes great courage whilst flexibility of mind allows you to believe there are other possibilities in this life beyond what you have already experienced.  The strength gives you enough courage to bear the loss of the known and the terror of the unknown, perhaps even turning that terror into excitement for what may be.  

Don’t dream small dreams, for you are capable of far more dramatic and colourful creations.  Trust in the magnificence of what you are becoming, the expression of the transformational intelligence and power within you.

DATE WITH DESTINY

Out of the ethers and into your life, she arrives now because you have a date with Destiny.  She is a mysterious creature; her ways are wild and her guidance is true.  She may create chaos from which a new order can emerge, but there is no need to fear.  She has come to inspire, uplift and direct you.  

A date with Destiny is a big deal.  It is the moment when you realise there is something helping you out, something intelligent, powerful, wise and, no matter how empowered you are, something even more powerful than your own efforts.  All bets are off!  Nothing is held sacred and anything can happen. 

If you are a control freak, this will probably scare you witless! 

You need to trust Destiny’s interventions on your behalf, even if her work seems to be causing your best intentions to go astray.  Trust or go mad because you cannot control her.  And you do not need to!  Your divine destiny is your best life. 

It is you in the fullest and most beautiful creative expression possible.  It is what you want and need, even when you don’t immediately realise it, even when that is rather different to what you once thought you wanted and needed.  

The Universe has heard the prayers in your heart, and life is going to answer them by rearranging what needs to be rearranged to sort out whatever has been troubling you.  Make sure you let it happen. The more you allow yourself to trust in her, the more you will realise that the universe is working with you, rather than against you, and if you are willing, it will show you the time of your life!

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.  We realise it had been a blessing masked, something actually helping us, even though it might have come in the form of a challenge or a struggle before we eventually gain great benefit from it.  

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.  There is no need to worry, even that which appears to be most troublesome is going to reveal itself to be working in your favour!

Well delicious lovely, wishing you a stupendous week and I have an invitation for you.  Think of the things that you do that nourish you, whether it is playing music, lighting a candle, going for a walk under the trees and give it the energy of a ritual.  In other words, set an intention, let the energy follow it make it a conscious action.  Also, no matter if you are in the States and celebrating Thanksgiving or live somewhere else, play with the energy of this wonderful Full Moon and give thanks and bless everything that is in your life. 

In my morning practice I always say “ I bless everything I have and I bless my increasing good and good fortune” and then I start listing them.  So I might say “I bless my bed and the cosiness of it and I bless my increasing good and good fortune, I bless the sun filtering through the autumn leaves and I bless my increasing good and good fortune.”  Yes?  Give it a try and really think of everyone and everything that could do with a blessing. 

At the full moon take some time to write down the things, or aspects, that you are ready to release, then burn the list and allow it to become compost.  Play with it and see how you feel.  Sending you big hugs and squeezes and sloppy wet kisses!  See you in two weeks and most importantly be grateful for yourself and bless YOU!
