Spring Equinox, Aries New Moon and Gifts!

· ·

Happy Magnetic,Magickal, Marvellous, Musing, Merry, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!!!!!!!!

With the energies feeling like they have sped up tenfold and all sorts of delightful opportunities for growth swirling around – this will be a delightfully brief post as it’s Equinox!

I had the joy and honour of leading a glorious in person celebration yesterday, with fire, ritual and amazing women! Then another glorious celebration with the incredible women of Creatrix Circle first thing this morning. 

So now it is time to go play and celebrate in the woods.  

However, I do have 2 glorious free gifts for you to enhance  your celebration and help you with your intention.  I will share them throughout the post.

So here we are my darlings. 

This is the Spring Equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere.  

The time of Beginnings, Fresh Energy, Setting Intentions and planting them with love and care.

With the Spring Equinox your spirit is waking up with new ideas & new dreams for your life.

What are you going to plant?  

In the glorious Southern Hemisphere Mabon is being celebrated, the Fall Equinox, a time to start to harvest what you have sown and to dance within the weaves of gratitude. 

What are you grateful for? 

Equinox is a good time to consider balance in our lives, not only of happiness and sadness, but also of the areas in which we are active and passive, successful and falling short, giving and taking.

What are you receiving (and do you want to keep it)?

And what are you giving (and do you need to)?

Right after this glorious Equinox time where we consider balance the delightful New Moon in Aries comes in.

Aries starts the new astrological year, and is fiery.  Fiery with supporting you in creating something new (see how it ties into the Spring Equinox)?

She brings with her an inspirational time to create, ignite your inner fire and to step into what your soul desires.  She also supports checking in with your inner truth and making sure you are coming from the place that is truly YOU.

Trust that your intentions and desires will be truly supported and nurtured. 

Your task is to set your intentions, receive what is offered and most certainly to have good boundaries against any lower vibration thoughts, people or situations that attempt to undermine this potential. 

Yes?

Perfect, then let’s crack on with the reading.  If these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you to Blessed Be. 

“May these cards and guides offer you ways to enter into deeper appreciation of your life and its manifold blessings.  May you have hope, understanding and kindness.  And most of all, may you know deep within your soul, that thou art blessed.”

Frigging perfect!

So take a moment to become present.  Right here, right now, right in this minute.  

As you breathe, allow your mind’s eye to show you the balance.  The balance between what you are giving and receiving.  Then when you are ready pick the card that calls to you.

If you want to go deep.  One of my gifts to you is a glorious guided Spring Equinox meditation/visualisation. This visualisation will really help you tap into your heart and the potent energy that wants to support you.

Did you remember to pick?

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

A BLESSING FROM YOUR ANCESTORS

A blessing to bring you the gifts and guardianship of your ancestral family.

Within your bloodline, and within your spiritual line, there are thousands of relatives who care for you, and whose cells now sing within your body.  You are their future dream, you carry forward the hopes of your distance and most ancient family.  

They have seen so much – yes, in other times and faraway places, but they come to you now and bless you with all the wisdom of their experiences, making you the sum total of a thousand thousand wise ones.

Call upon the wisdom of the blood, the old ones who stand behind you, supporting and holding you, clearly giving to you the knowledge that experience taught them.  

Let only the ancestors who can free you, aid you, support you, and celebrate the best of themselves within you come forward, and may the ailments and regrets of those who have gone before teach you what not to do in this time.

If the family be thin on the ground, or if there is estrangement at present, let the arms of the old ones hold you, form a circle about you, and infuse you with everything you may need at this moment.

You are loved across the distance of time.  

May you be blessed and may you have with you the essence of the Elder, the Teacher, the one who shows, the one who shares with the younger ones, the one who keeps the skills alive inside you, and all about you.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING ON A FRIENDSHIP

A blessing for a friendship where your best self is given permission to emerge and grow, and where mutual love is shared in good times and in bad.

May your friendship be blessed with laughter, but never at the expense of the dignity of one of you.  

May your friendship be a delight to you both, a time of warmth and sharing, give and take, small offerings of what you have sent back and forth between you.  May you be kind to each other, and honest too.  

May you have the trust that true friendship needs to speak of things for the soul, and may there be loyalty, one to the other, without chains or obedience, but freely given.  

May there be affinities of the spirit, differences to exalt in, and if harsh thoughts or words enter in and blight the path or your companionship, may you pick them up as a stone in the road, and move them out of your way.   

Let there be mutual care, and may your friendship endure amidst the inconsistencies of the world.  Let  your friendship have its seasons, but let it turn, on and on, ever – changing, ever-returning, to the place where you find love for each other, and greater love of self for knowing one another.  

BLESSED BE.

A BLESSING OF FORGIVENESS

A blessing to be able to be free of the burden of grudges and vengeance, a prayer to help you open up to the blessing that is forgiveness.  

Forgiveness is a tricky beast – and yes, for all it is a gentle word, it is a great beast, forgiveness.  For when we seek to forgive, we must wrestle with the wrongdoing that lies at the heart of our resistance to let go of the pain we are holding on to.  When we need to forgive, it is often that we are too raw, too far away from justice to be able to even touch the side of the balm of forgiveness.

Yet staying angry for long periods of time can develop into a compacted bitterness, and bitterness is a gall to all who wish to live freely.

But what can we do when the wrong is still very much alive,and to forgive another seems to be diminishing their harm, and their potential to harm others.

Justice and forgiveness must work hand in hand, and in this blessing they will now begin to entwine, so that while you begin to forgive first yourself, for whatever wrong was done to you, there is often an element of self-blame.

First, know that whatever wrong was done to you, it is not your fault.  And begin the work of forgiving yourself.  

May the blessing of this self-forgiveness be bestowed upon you now, dear friend.  Know you will gently untangle the doubt and recriminations that have settled like thorns about your heart, and invaded your mind’s peace.  And as begin to forgive yourself, you will also begin to find forgiveness for the injustices you have endured  

Let the anger burn down into coals from which you, phoenix-like, can arise.  

And know you have forgiven – forgiven the other for their dark gift.  Forgiven life.  And most of all, delivered the pure medicine of forgiveness to yourself.

BLESSED BE

Wowzer, those were glorious guides.  As quite frankly, if you aren’t willing to work with forgiveness you can’t create something different, something more supportive.  So my delicious lovely, another free gift is a beautiful ritual to plant your Seeds of Intention.  Equinox blessings and see you in 2 weeks.  

Equinox is Coming! And we say Goodbye to Winter!

Happy, Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Magnificent, Merry, Manifesting March Monday!  

Whoot! Whoot!  March is here and I am thrilled (trust me if you could see the happy dance I am doing you would laugh).

I am thrilled because the wild daffs are out, there are carpets of vibrant crocus amongst the Garry Oaks, the forsythia is in full glorious bloom and this all means that Spring is coming!

Which it is!  Which heralds a new astrological cycle and Equinox!

A week today here in the Northern Hemisphere we have Spring Equinox (aka Ostara). 

I am celebrating by leading an in person circle, for the first time since moving here, a glorious Equinox circle in Creatrix Circle, and a circle for a wonderful colleague!

(So can you say – focused and wiggly excited!!)

Now you may be shaking your head and thinking – yeah, so what Jenn.  Oh little one, Spring Equinox is a huge energetic time as it’s the time of Birth.  The Birth of ideas, goals, desires, dreams and hope. 

It’s the time to plant seeds literally and figuratively. 

It’s a time of growth, hopefulness, lightness of being and spirit, and things that warm our innermost hearts as much as the glorious spring sunshine does the outdoor world. 

For myself my whole mind, body and soul responds to the seasons and I have found that when I allow that alignment with the cycles of nature as a practice it is exceptionally transformative. 

This is a huge part of the reason why I create the Magickal Manuals for the seasons and celebrations!  So currently there is the glorious Ostara Magickal Guide and the Mabon Magickal Manual.

Our bodies know, it’s built into our Ancestral memory and our DNA. 

There was a time when we were deeply connected to these rhythms, but, over time, technology and our modern culture has separated us from those celestial vibes and our own inner knowing.  (Think about it, when you are surrounded by 8 feet of snow in winter time, are you craving a salad?  I don’t believe so!)

However, before we barrel into celebrating Spring it’s important to recognise that the changing seasons are a meaningful time of reflection.  

And as much as we like to look forward (what will the new season bring? how do I want to grow & expand in the months ahead?), it’s equally important to look backward.

It’s important to look back on the chapter that’s ending, before a new one begins.

How can you truly integrate your experiences if you’re so eager to just move forward?

How can you integrate the lessons you learned from the things that challenged you, if you just keep facing forward – never pausing to reflect before jumping into the next new chapter of adventures & experiences??

This time at the end of winter is a liminal space: it might not fully feel like winter anymore, but it also doesn’t fully feel like spring. We’re in an in-between time, a time of transition. And it is the PERFECT time to look back on winter & reflect on the wisdom this season brought you.

And when you take the time to do this kind of meaningful reflection, you’re able to move forward into spring a bit wiser, a bit more evolved – and better prepared to truly embrace the powerful growth energy about to flood into your life.

Here are some really insightful, empowering questions to ask yourself here at the end of winter:

  • What inner wisdom did you gather on your journey inward this winter? What did you learn about yourself?
  • What challenged you this winter? Where have you felt uncomfortable or out of sorts?
  • What lessons did you learn? About yourself & about your life??
  • Where is it clear you are ready to grow?

Okay, I have chuntered on (which I tend to do when passionate about something that is life changing).  So let’s crack on with the reading.

This week we have lovely, delicious new guides who wanted to come play and they made me smile.  As they are the glorious guides of the “Herbal Astrology Oracle.”  So 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.  

Perfect guides as we move to Equinox!

There is a lovely guided visualisation to help you tap into the Spring Energy and really strengthen your intentions if you so choose.  

If not, just breathe.  Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth and allow yourself to settle in.  Then when you are ready see in your mind’s eye a glorious young green shoot.  This is your intention, your desire – invite it in and as you breathe into this gorgeous green being pick the card or cards that whisper to you.  

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

RUE

Protection

Rue is known as the “Herb of Grace” or the “Blessed Herb”.

In Spanish it is known as ruda, and in Greek, it is reuo, which means to “set free”.

Rue is considered a powerful and protective plant with a long and detailed historical use in both medicine and ceremonial rituals.  Early physicians considered Rue a vital remedy against plagues, pestilence, and poison.  

Rue is said to be the herb of angels, granting us the ability to channel the angelic realms.

It emanates golden energy, like a Lion, powerfully protecting and pouring in light into any space that it inhabits.  Resilient like the wide array of Solar herbs, it grows generously and abundantly, thriving in all kinds of terrain, demonstrating its strong life force and vitality.

Rue has come to remind you to protect your aura from lurking and unhealthy people, spirits or situations that might be consuming your energy.

Don’t allow parasitic negativity to darken your field, which can create perpetual states of self-criticism, self-doubt, or self-loathing.  

Call upon Rue’s power to shield your body with angelic forces and restore radiance, vitality, and love in your atmosphere.  

Rue is ruled by the Sun and Pluto.

TULSI

Wealth

The Tulsi Goddess sits proudly facing her beautiful Peacock, symbolising heaven on Earth.

She raises her arms with grace, aiming them like wands to catalyse magic and wealth.  

The fountain is centred between the Goddess and the Peacock, representing the wellspring created between Earth, the manifest world, and Heaven, the spirit world.  

Peacock embodies the medicine of auspiciousness, magic, and beauty, reminding us that we are the living gateway to the greatest of mysteries.

Tulsi has come to you today to teach you that the key to Jupiter’s doorway (abundance and wisdom) is to live, create, and communicate from a place of wonder, innocence, and impeccability (Mercury), rather than doubt or confusion.

Don’t be fooled by material possessions or the vanity often worshipped in the material world.

Tune into the deeper realities that abound around you; be spontaneous and celebrate your temple just as you are.

Tulsi, also known as Tulasi, is frequently mentioned as one of the main pillars of herbal medicine in ancient Ayurvedic texts, some dating back to as far as 5000 BC.

It is known as the “Incomparable One”, the “Queen of Herbs,” and the “Mother Medicine of Nature.”

With its ability to enhance cerebral circulation and memory, Tulsi greatly embodies the archetype of Mercury, the great communicator who governs our conscious mind, perception, understanding along with primarily the nervous system, and respiratory system.

PALO SANTO

Guardian

Palo Santo is a protective wand that grants us the power of unlocking innate gifts that have laid dormant, inactive, or blocked.

Palo Santo, like the Fox, is here to assist you as a spirit guide, who helps you navigate the spirit world.

The Sechuran Foxes, native to South America, nestle among the desert forest of Palo Santo for shelter, living in symbiosis with these precious trees.

Foxes are symbolic of the afterlife, invisibility, and the sacred trickster.

Palo Santo neutralises the venom of dark tricksters and alchemises its poison into gold; becoming the sacred trickster.  

Palo Santo is here to remind you to activate your dormant gifts.  

You are a guardian of the sacred that has walked many paths; know that you can neutralise the greatest poisons, back talk, smack talk and most certainly outwit the smartest of tricksters.  

Palo Santo’s medicinal qualities  are very Plutonic in nature, as it powerfully cleanses malignant energy, while being highly invocatory and perfect for strong intention setting.  

Palo Santo has a long history of use as a magic wand that unlocks innate gifts that have lain dormant, inactive, or blocked, like wisdom, intuition, and sight to see into the past and past lives.  

Wow, what glorious messages and guidance as we play with the building Spring Equinox energy!  By the way, thank you for all your lovely messages and shares, I soooo appreciate hearing how you are.  Remember to gift yourself one of the Magickal Manuals to embody this energy fully.  Sending you massive squeezes, warm sunbeams and a bouquet of bobbly daffodils.  See you next week! (Maybe lol).

Beltane is Almost Here so Welcome in the Fae and the first Eclipse of 2022!

· ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Manifesting, Majestic, Mesmerising, Mysterious, Memorable Monday!  How are you on this glorious day?

So good to be back!  It feels like it has been forever since we last connected, but in fact it has only been two weeks!  How was your Easter?  Did you get out and play, hunt for choccie eggs and do something fun?  I hope so!  

Our Global Healing Circle was amazing, we raised funds that were donated to the Ukraine and the glorious emails sharing your Spirit Animal Guide and Heart Crystal descriptions were amazing.  Thank you to all who participated.  If you would like access to the amazing guided visualisation that was created for that special day, and can be activated at any time.  You can still access it Here.  

Before we chat about the upcoming Eclipse, let’s talk about Beltane, which occurs on May 1st.  

I love Beltane, I love it because it is fiery, passionate, intentional and produces results!  I especially love it as it’s the time when the veil between this Earth and the Fae is exceptionally thin.  So Magick abounds, and to help you tap into this amazing energy I have a FREE GIFT for you (read on)!

Beltane is thought to be one of the more important festivals of the Gaelic calendar.  Beltane is a Fire Festival. The word ‘Beltane’ originates from the Celtic God ‘Bel’, meaning ‘the bright one’ and the Gaelic word ‘teine’ meaning fire. Together they make ‘Bright Fire’, or ‘Goodly Fire’ and traditionally bonfires were lit to honour the Sun and encourage the support of Bel and the Sun’s light to nurture the emerging future harvest and protect the community.

Beltane is the halfway point between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice, making it easy to see why Beltane is typically associated with creativity, prosperity, hope, fertility, and sexuality.

The Beltane fires of yore were a time of revelry, pairing and celebrating fertility (there were lots of babies born 9 months after the celebrations!)  Also, cattle would be led between two fires for protection and to encourage a strong, fertile herd.  Holy wells were visited and feasts were had.  Rowan was often used in Beltane festivals as it’s a tree of protection and healing. Branches of Rowan were placed as protection over the doors of houses and barns at Beltane to protect from increased Faery activity as they woke from their winter slumber.  (As they can be rather cheeky!)

Sprigs were worn for protection also. Rowan berries have a tiny five-pointed star on the bottom reminiscent of the pentagram.

So all in all a great time to celebrate, set intentions, fertilise either self or ideas and have a grand jolly time and invite the Fae to support you!  

This is where your wonderful Free Gift of the Beautiful Beltane Book will guide you, support you and inspire you to deepen into this rich potent energy.

Think about those wee seeds of intention that you planted at Spring Equinox, they are starting to push their way up towards the sun.

But I guess the question some people have is – “Why bother marking the day?”  Good question, and my answer would be because it connects you to something bigger, older and deeper than our modern day to day.  

I love the way Donna Henes puts it:-  Ceremonial observance adds lucid layers — depth, dimension, drama and distinction — to our lives, making the ordinary seem special, and the special, extraordinary. Through the practice of ritual we are privileged to experience ourselves as prepared, present, passionate, principled and potent. When we set aside the quality time and claim the psychic space for ceremony, when we assume the authority to do so, we are able to transform our perceptions, our perspectives, our experiences, and in the process, our reality.

When we live in alignment with the seasons, our souls unfurl and flourish.  We are more connected to our intuition, our magick, each other and the earth.  

We walk a sacred path everyday.  

Which totally ties in with the Eclipse on the Taurus New Moon the day before!

“On April 30th, the Moon will Eclipse the Sun giving us the first Solar Eclipse of the year.

Solar Eclipses always fall on a New Moon, and while this is only a Partial Solar Eclipse, it is still ultra-potent and carries the weight of a hundred New Moons!

New Moons always represent new beginnings, so this Eclipse is likely to open doors, open windows, and draw entirely new paths for us in the cosmic skies.

The keyword for this April Solar Eclipse is opportunity, so if there is something you want, this is your cosmic invitation to connect with your heart’s desire and see what flies in.

While New Moons are typically powerful moments in the month for manifestation work, under a Solar Eclipse it is actually better to go with the flow and trust what the Universe brings our way.

Eclipses activate our soul contract and tend to bring fated events that help us get to the next chapter of our spiritual evolution.

Eclipses can always take us by surprise, but it is worthwhile remembering that they always put us where we need to be, even if it doesn’t feel like it at first! In fact, Eclipses can accelerate our timeline, bringing forward things that were ultimately inevitable. Things can happen quickly under an Eclipse!”

So are you paying attention?  Do you see all this potential energy to work with?

To support you with all of this I am gifting you the glorious Beautiful Beltane Book (fondly referred to as BBB), filled with lore, rituals and ways for you to embrace this glorious energy.  

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading!  When I went and asked which cards wanted to come out.  The cards that wiggled and jiggled to come and guide this week are the glorious Isis Oracle.  

Have you ever asked who Isis is? Goddess of the Skies, Magick and Wisdom are just a few of the titles she is given.  Let me take a moment to introduce you to this lovely deck – “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening.  Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world.  When a Soul is growing in power and strength, it can benefit from guidance to help make the path into a new way of being in the world that much easier.  Isis offers Her wisdom and guidance to you to assist you at this time of spiritual growth and transition.  She loves you, and wants you to shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.”

Okay, take a moment to come back into your body, allow your shoulders to nestle down your spine and just breathe long and deep.  When you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

PORTAL OF LIGHT

She Glides on Wings through Time and Space.

It is only this physical reality that is bound by time and space.  You are a being who is conscious on levels beyond the physical world.  You are guided to work with your healing powers beyond the confines of time and space and to allow your sense of Self to expand.  It is safe for you to do this now.  You will not become ungrounded through such spiritual growth.  You are not leaving your earthly awareness, you are instead adding to it.

You are growing in power and awareness.  You have had breakthrough insights where you realise that you are not who you thought you were, you are in fact a much vaster being.  Sometimes this was shocking and uncomfortable, and difficult to accept.  At other times it was gentle and made much sense to you.  You are learning to integrate this awareness of your vast Self into your life.  The practical consequences of doing so are extraordinary – to live with less and less fear and insecurity, to become more detached and more passionate, more loving and less demanding, to need less and receive more, to feel more joy and exert less force to attain it…..Such wonderful gifts await you!

Isis guides you to powers and abilities to heal that are beyond time and space.  It starts with the realisation that what has happened in the past has power over you only to the extent that you allow it.  The portal of light is being opened to you now to travel through time and space to release the past, to open up to a bright future and to call for more power in the present moment.  

SCALES OF BALANCE

Ancient Tantra of the Soul

You are in the process of sacred relationship healing of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminineenergies within your own Soul.  This is the advanced spiritual path of Tantra.  It is the connection of the body and Soul.  The effect of this inner divine relationship healing is genuine enlightenment of the mind and the body.  The body becomes a living sacred temple of light, energy and wild aliveness.  This embodiment can be experienced in movement, in deep stillness, in vitality and in quietness.  

You are a Tantrika, a sacred priest/priestess of the Tantric arts.  Some people mistakenly believe that Tantra is simply about sexuality, but it is in truth the journey of the Soul to bring masculine and feminine polarities into wholeness, love, unity and empowerment – to learn to be the enlightened path in every element of your being.  This is Soul-building work that is in great service to the spiritual healing and evolution of humanity, which is a deep need of those such as yourself.

You are guided to accept this healing through learning to balance the masculine and feminine energies within yourself and your relationships with others.  Balancing give and take, directing and flowing, play and solitude are ways to do this now.  Learning to feel as comfortable as possiblewith your sexual and spiritual nature, seeing how they can complement rather than compete with each other is helpful too.  Connection with the body is the most powerful form of healing for the feminine energy as it holds the secrets to Divine Feminine wisdom.  

You are encouraged to explore Divine Maculine and Feminine healing with yourself specifically at this time.  This may involve forgiveness of past relationships with significant males or females in your life.  It may also require an adjustment of softening to allow in feminine wisdom, or cutting out some distraction or draining situations that minimise your sense of your own power and capacity.  

MAGICK AND RITUAL

Crafting Sacred Practice

Effects in the external world can be created through inner practice.  Magick and Ritual can support your Divine Path now in the physical world and you are encouraged to enhance your power with regular practice.  The results that you experience will encourage you to continue with the practice as you grow in power, grace, love, ability and wisdom, and apply your inner beauty to transform your outer world.

For us to grow empowered and potent on the Path of Ancient Feminine Power we need to honour our knowing and being and cultivate sacred practice.  Sacred practice becomes the habit of growing our spiritual power and consciousness.  Like a garden needing regular care and watering to blossom and flourish, our inner garden of the Soul, where our creativity, joy, spiritual gifts and bliss bubble away, also needs regular attention.  Coming to our practice takes strength and inner will – even though it can feel amazing, we still have to wake up, set aside time and discipline ourselves to show up for our own inner growth.  We will reap the benefits when we do, but we must allow ourselves to fall in love with our practice, to craft something that really speaks to us, so that we want to do it.  The desire and the discipline together help us engage with our practice regularly and we can grow so fast it can be quite shocking!

You have great power and wisdom within you, but you need to provide channels for it to flow and be active and empowered in your physical life.  Sacred Practice is such a channel.  Without these channels, the ego is left to create on its own which is not much fun at all!  The ego believes in fear and separation and no matter how much it may want to feel love, bliss, connection, joy and fulfilment, it really cannot do it without your spiritual presence in life.  Ritual and Magick, as a form of sacred practice, are recommended for you as a way to bring more spiritual presence into your waking life, to heal and support the ego as you learn to create a life that feels better and brings you and others more fulfilment.

What a delicious reading!  Talk about the perfect energies to go along with Beltane, magick  and the fiery passion!  Don’t forget to receive your Beautiful Beltane Book.  Wishing you a stupendous, fertile, abundant week filled with flowers, song, and laughter.  Huge hugs and squeezes!  See you next week!

Mabon, Moon Magick – And My Birthday Gift to YOU!

· ·

Happy Miraculous, Magickal, Marvelous, Moony, Manifesting Monday!

Oh my gosh, lots of deliciousness to cover this week!  Mabon, My birthday gift to YOU and today’s Moon Magick with the glorious Harvest Moon!  So grab a nice strong cuppa, snuggle up and let’s go explore shall we?

Mabon is almost here (Wednesday), that place of balance, gratitude and bounty – both inner and outer!  In celebrating Mabon we give ourselves time to focus on gratitude and open our hearts to the great natural world around us.  Gratitude is so empowering and healing:  it helps us to create a conscious connection with each other and the universe and see our life’s journey as an endless cycle of in-breath and out-breath, of giving and receiving. We are beginning to turn inward. This is a time of balance just as it is for the natural world around us. We feel the coming of the darkness and are pulled towards our spiritual side in a new way.

A couple of great questions to ask yourself are – Where do I need Equinox’s balance in my life right now?  What am I being called to let go of for myself this season?  (And these are questions to ask today with the Full Moon energy to support you).  

It has been amazing to hear how many of you have taken advantage of the incredible offer on the Mabon Magickal Manual and have shared with me how supportive it feels, how it is connecting you back to a place you had forgotten, and the rituals you are trying out.  That makes me smile from ear to ear!  Whoot!  

Okay, my birthday gift to you (something I have never done before).  

As Mabon is my birthday (yes, I know I have banged on about it, but that’s because I love birthdays – fairly much anyones, in fact today is one of my boys birthdays and you should see what I have in store for him – muhahaha!)  

I have a gift for you!

A reading just for you, where the Archetype that is in play for you right now (whether activated or not) comes out and shares their guidance and walks with you for the next 3 months.  You may be thinking – “Ummm, Jenn, what do you mean by Archetype?”  

The name itself implies that these energies have been swirling since the beginning of time and are inherent in our very existence.  They cannot be suppressed, denied, hidden, gotten rid of, or “fixed”, no matter how hard we try.  We inherit them from the very universe and they express themselves through us.  Archetypes ask many things of us.  They ask us to stretch our minds and hearts beyond their limits -and have a particular knack for getting us to do so! 

Now the fun thing about this birthday reading special is you pick the price!  (Yes, I did say that outloud).  This reading special will last from today (the 20th, my son’s birthday), until September 30th.  So for 10 days, you are able to pick the price for the reading, and yes, you can gift it to someone as well!  So happy birthday!

Today is the glorious Harvest Moon (or Corn Moon), and she most certainly carries a lot of the energy that is tied into Mabon/Equinox.  September Moon’s spiritual meaning is all about balance and abundance, whether you’re celebrating the Harvest Moon or the Corn Moon. It’s a time to honor and appreciate your home. A time for reflection and gratitude.

Full moons always symbolize a time of climactic conclusion, but this is felt even more deeply now as we near the changing of seasons and the cooler months ahead are imminent.

The Harvest Moon symbolizes the connection between life and death, growth and decay, natural cycles, and seasonal times.  

The Harvest Moon’s spiritual meaning is all about abundance because Nature is ripe with it right now! If you have your own garden, find ways to bring its beauty into your home. Harvest flowers, herbs, or leaves and incorporate them into a beautiful bouquet. You could also hang them to dry and use later in oils, as smoke cleansers, or Yule decor.

If you don’t have a garden, find a way to get outside and do some foraging. Collect natural items for art projects. Flowers could be pressed and framed or included in your grimoire or journal. You can also bring a sketchbook or just sit peacefully and enjoy the beautiful Autumn season.

A beautiful exercise or ritual to do with this energy of this Harvest Moon is Set Intentions with Moon Water.  All you need is you, a jar with a lid, water and some time to BE.  

Fill up your jar with water  (I often pop a crystal in mine – but please make sure that this crystal can be used in water!)  September is a wonderful time to meditate beneath the Moon as the evenings and nights are much cooler. Sit with your hands on each side of your water envisioning your gratitude, light, and intentions filling up the Moon water.

You can even say a chant if you’d like to help focus your intent:

As I sit beneath the Full Moon tonight,

I’m filled with an illuminating and positive light,

I am grateful for_______ and __________,

I honor these last days of summer and warmth,

May this next season bring love, growth, and joy,

to myself and those I love.

Then leave your jar out overnight (with a lid on it) to bathe in the moonlight.  There are so many uses for Moon water!

Okay, enough chuntering on.  When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to share with you this week I smiled a huge grin when the Oracle of the Dragonfae stepped up.  Well, if you’ve never met them, please let me introduce you (as not to is rather rude).  

These guides are the magickal and mystical that weave through the threads of every day, they are the Dragonfae, Gods and Goddesses who dwelt in dimensional lands….Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu, they are Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin and others – fully alive and filled with magick! They are the deliciously magickal beings that have always been there, we just forgot, and when we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life on this beautiful green and blue planet, known by some as Gaia, by others as Dana, and by many other names. 

Note the line “we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves.”…………..

Okay, take a moment gorgeous one and just breathe.  Breathe in the energy of the Moon and Mabon, the gratitude and the bounty, Breathe out the releases that need to come so something new can grow and connect with the lost part of yourself.  And as you breathe, allow the question that is forming to come up in your mind’s eye.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that work for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see what is in store for you this week.  

THE GUARDIANS

For wonderful outcomes; all decisions must be made in the spirit of trust and adventure: the very spirit you have displayed in asking us to assist you.  In order for you to understand which direction must now travel in, you must gain a higher perspective.  It does not mean to try and be “better” or in any way “higher” than anyone else, but to fly as an eagle or one of the Dragonfae would, high above the situation, so you can see its ramifications and lessons, its wisdoms and knowledge spreading through time and space.  This way you will know which direction to take next.

We will fly you high above this crossroads and from this point you will see your choices in their splendour and diversity.  

The Guardians are your magickal helpers; they are above to lift you up in order to assist you in seeing.  If you feel you cannot see, they will describe to you the choices before you, but they will also help you to understand that at this time you are indeed at a crossroads, and that you are under their care.

They are kin and they will walk or fly the road with you, until you are ready to take the steps yourself.

Be unafraid of the decision you now need to make, of the move that may be necessary.  Your haven is within your heart, your sanctuary is within your soul. 

Be ready to become a being who travels and explores, who is about to embark upon an adventure to unknown lands, both inner and outer.  

THE PENDRAGON

I am He who is the hunter, the sage, the father, the provider, the protector.  I am he who watches over his people and does his best for his family.  I am He: your brother, your father, your husband, your son.  I am sheer powerful masculine energy and I am the lover of the Goddess of the Dragonfae.  Together we create wholeness,  apart we wander alone and are more easily wounded, even destroyed.  I have a role: to care for others, to use my physical strength and to use my attributes to fight for those I love.  And I will do that.  I am King and Emperor and God…and I care for you.  Do not fear me: I would not hesitate to sweep you into my arms and hold you.

I love you, but know that my role here takes me away many times from all the love and playfulness that still lives inside of me.  Trust in my actions.  See the truth and choose a partner who is in action a strong and caring manly man. Think of some of your positive experiences with men this lifetime: from moments with your father, to times when a man has acted honourably.  Now, from those examples, begin to allow more of that version of masculine energy into your life.   

Gradually, let’s change your ingrained and sometimes negative beliefs about men…and when Pendragon walks in, he demands that you treat the men he sends your way with respect and honour….just as he will treat you in return.  You will notice that ignoble men no longer have a place in your life and that you are no longer attracting them.  Indeed, Pendragon wonders why you would waste your time with people who do not behave in a noble fashion, and he does not want you to be involved with men who behave deceitfully, who are fearful of their own power, or who take advantage of members of their own family or their partners.

CHENGUANG

I am Dragonfae, thus I am at once a being of copious laughter, and of earnest and deep study.  Being Dragonfae, I know when to put aside my serious work and my mission, and play, laugh and love.  I know the importance of devoting myself to the playtime that balances, soothes and heals my heart, and lifts the heaviness that sometimes accompanies my days.  Can you do this?  Or are you too caught up in being taken seriously?  There is a perfect balance between serious, cosmic matters and playful light-heartedness to be found.  Both Earth and star are necessary for all of us.  We are indeed galactic beings ourselves.  But most of all, your hope and optimism is paramount right now.  Take heart, for delight and joy is yours.  

You are about to experience a true reversal in your inner self:  you will now think magickally and attain mastery of magickal consciousness.  What you think, what you are manifests about you at all times:  what you are now is the delicious light-hearted magickal being you were born to be.  You are like a beautiful shining star; its light magikally transforming everything it touches.  Rays of light beam out from you and your body is awash with healing green energy and fresh new life.  You are dancing in the air, lifted up on the strength of your own experience and friendships, and you would do well to wear the divine colour violet, while the gentle zephyr helps your move in the direction of your dreams.

When we allow ourselves to shine we become who we were always meant to be; and by example we encourage others to become who they truly are.  Drop the heavy nature of punishment, guilt and beliefs that no longer serve you.  

You are a powerful role model for others; you have experienced the joy of setting your sights high and the healing power of self-belief.  

You still have many experiences ahead of you on your journey, but this energy of the star is now your companion and your divine inspiration.  

Oh my gosh, I so, so, so love the cards.  Perfect for this moment in time!  So the most delicious one, please take a moment to breathe in gratitude and like a tree, allow the leaves of release to drop like cosmic compost.  Remember to play under this glorious Harvest Moon, and if you haven’t grabbed a copy of the Mabon Magickal Manual I highly suggest it.  Oh yes, and come play with the Archetypes (they are really quite stupendous!) and see who wants to walk with you until the Winter Solstice.  Take good care of yourself, go kick up some Fall leaves and remember – you are loved, supported and seen!   Big love and hugs!
