Manifestation

Bubble Release Ritual.

Bubble Release Ritual

This ritual is excellent for helping you embrace the themes of abundance and letting go during the Corn Moon. It’s also an excellent manifestation technique.

Using bubbles as part of your Corn Moon ritual infuses the celebration with lightness, playfulness, and the reminder that life’s moments are temporary.

Create Sacred Space

Gather your bubble-blowing materials and select an outdoor location with open space. Decorate the area with candles, lanterns, or natural elements like leaves and flowers. Ideally, perform the ritual when the Corn Moon’s light is most prominent.

Setting Intentions

Take a moment to reflect on your intentions for the ritual.

What aspects of your life do you want to release? What abundance do you wish to invite?

Release Intention

Hold your bubble wand or tool and take a deep breath. As you exhale, blow a bubble into the air. Visualize the bubble carrying away the intentions you want to release.

Watch as the bubble rises and eventually pops, symbolizing the act of letting go.

Abundance Intention

Now, dip your wand into the bubble solution again. As you blow a bubble this time, visualize it representing abundance and blessings flowing into your life.

Watch the bubble shimmer in the moonlight, representing the beauty of the abundance you invite into your life.

Repetition and Reflection

Continue blowing bubbles with released intentions and abundance intentions, alternating between the two. As you blow each bubble, let go of any attachment to the outcome and trust the flow of the universe.

After you’ve blown bubbles with your intentions and reflected on the symbolism, take a moment to stand in the moonlight.

Close your eyes and feel the energy of the Corn Moon surrounding you.

Express gratitude for the release and abundance you’ve invited into your life.

New Moon in Virgo – Ritual for Health and Abundance.

Jenny Heston · 3:55 pm ·

NEW MOON IN VIRGO

August 27th we welcome the New Moon in Virgo, so think about the energy that comes to mind for you when I mention Virgo.

Virgo is an earth sign historically represented by the goddess of wheat and agriculture, an association that speaks to Virgo’s deep-rooted presence in the material world. And the fact that we are in harvest season.

If you look around you can see, kids are getting ready to go back to school, teens back to University and many rec centres, gyms and art schools are offering Fall courses, and now is certainly the time to sign up. So there’s an energy of ending (of summer) and new beginnings of Fall.

Then if we look at Nature, here on the West Coast where I live, I can already see the leaves are starting to change. The geese are flying overhead in their V’s honking like mad things and landing on any flat patch of grass they can find.

Some of the flowers are dying back, and the tomatoes are ripening under the late August sun and my herbs have exploded and are standing at about 5 feet tall!

It’s harvest time. A time of preparation. A time to sink your feet into the earth and thank Mumma Gaia for her gifts and bounty. A time to choose what you want to experience, feel and think.

So what are those things? How do you want to feel and what do you want to draw to you?

With the New Moon in Virgo, it’s time to heal, weed, edit, and discern. The vibe is thoughtful, sensitive, health-oriented, compassionate and particular; we need to keep our eyes not on what we want to throw away, but what we want to keep and nurture.

The image for the sign of Virgo recalls the people who once used their powers of discernment literally to sort the wheat from the chaff – back in the days of people – skilled agriculture. So use the energies of this moon to think about where in your life you need to make changes. Pay particular attention to your daily routines.

Virgo New Moon Ritual for Health and Abundance

You’re going to need your lovely moon book and pen,

a white candle,

crystals of choice,

a posy of fresh garden herbs (if you have them),

or a wee container of some dried ones from the kitchen,

a hot cup of water,

cleansing tool of choice (smudge, incense, essential oil),

and whatever music makes you feel good!

Find a peaceful spot where you will not be disturbed.

Then set the space and make it sacred to you.

Light your candle, place the crystals you chose so they can bathe in the candle light, and play the music that makes you feel the emotions you’ll experience when your manifestation comes to fruition. (This could be any type of music).

As you sit with your candle flickering away, allowing the energy of this lovely harvest new moon to fill the space around you. Take your cleansing tool and clear your space, yourself and your tools and to invite the glorious Moon Goddess in to support you.

Then take a moment to feel gratitude for all that’s good in your life. Think about the people, places and situations that make you happiest. Write down 5 – 10 of them that make you happy and/or for which you’ve been grateful in the past month.

Send big love and gratitude to those people or places, and remember to include yourself.

In this state of gratitude gather your herbs and gently press them between your fingers. Allow their divine smell and healing oils to explode on your finger tips and infuse them with the gratitude you are feeling.

Then pop them into the cup of hot water with thanks. (You’re brewing up a gorgeous New Moon gratitude tea! Nom!)

When this is done, ask yourself:- What do you want to create more of in regards to health, wellness, abundance, organisation and feeling prepared? (Remember the Virgo energy in this time of harvest).

If you’re feeling a tad stumped as to clarity and direction, use the New Moon Journal Prompts to get your juices flowing.

Decide on 10 wishes/intentions that resonate for you.

Then write them down, doodle them, colour them – whatever works for you.

Then narrow it down to 3 intentions and write them as if they’ve already happened. Keep your thoughts and intentions positive for this New Moon ritual.

Then read them outloud to the Moon and really feel and visualise them as here and now. (This is important).

Then for each of your amazing intentions write an affirmation that rings true for you. For example:-

New Moon Ritual Affirmation For Positive Manifestation Intentions

I am aligned with the Moon and the Universe. The energy of this New Moon is providing me with abundance and helping to manifest my best Self. I attract and welcome new ideas and beliefs easily into my life.

Now include a personal phrase that’s specific to your intention. Remember to use positive words and avoid negativity. An example might be, “I am grateful to have all the money I need. Wealth is a natural part of my life.”

Collect your gorgeous cup of herbal tea that is filled with gratitude and breathe your intentions into the water.

Then as you sit reflecting on this wonderful experience, sip your New Moon brew which is infused with gratitude and intentions and really feel them all coming to fruition.

Thank the glorious Moon Goddess for coming and dancing with you, releasing all attachment to the outcome.

You might want to say “Om Namo Narayani” 3 times or “This or something better now comes to me, with grace and ease and in perfect ways.”

Then pop your music on and celebrate!

Remember – The potency of your ritual stems from its importance to you!

New Moon Journal Prompts to Get The Juices Flowing.

Jenny Heston · 3:45 pm ·

Sometimes life gets busy and New Moon rolls around and between scrambling here and there and making sure everything is done, it can be easy to forget.

To forget what we want to Manifest.

To forget what our intentions are for this New Moon.

So to help you with any New Moon, here are some great journal prompts to get the juices flowing.

New Moon Journal Prompts For Spiritual Meaning

What truly motivates you?
Release habits that need to die and create new ideas for the future. Write down a list of 5 – 10 intentions you’d like to set. Then narrow it down to 3 you can focus on for your rituals.
What interests or hobbies do you have that can fuel your spirituality in creative ways? What habit can you start now to bring more creativity into your life?
Visualize what you want your life to look like. Using all five senses, write about it in detail.
What is your favorite way to distract yourself that makes you feel delighted?
What goals would you like to achieve by the next Full Moon? (Keep them small and actionable)
How can you find more joy during this lunar cycle? How can you slow down and live in the present moment?

Only 1 sleep until Spring Equinox!!! Whoot, whoot!

Jenny Heston · 2:00 pm ·

Happy Marvelous, Magnificent, Magical Monday gorgeous one! Only one more sleep until Spring Equinox! (Can you tell I’m excited?) I love Spring Equinox – well, I love all the Sabbats and Esbats to be honest, but the Spring Equinox fills me with so much hope, promise and delight as I know deep in my body that the heaviness of winter is leaving and it’s a time of rebirth, growth and glorious opportunities! This is a time when the goddess is the Maiden in all her youthful glory, the god is reaching manhood, and energy abounds. It’s also the perfect time of year to clear away all those old patterns that no longer work for your benefit, and welcome in new growth, whether spiritual, personal or financial. For those of you on my email list you will be receiving a fun and easy ritual to mark the day and really tap into that glorious energy.

On Saturday I had one of those marvelous days filled with lots of moments of joy. The sun was out, the temperature mild I went for a hike up the mountain but the trail I was on was a mud pit so needless to say I was a tad filthy and muddy by the time I got home – but it all washes off, right? (Oh yes and forgot to grab the dogs before they dashed into the house covered in mud and hopped up on the frigging sofas!) So after cleaning up their muddy mess that was all through the house, I sat out on my deck and mused about how to build a glorious pagoda (with a built in chin up bar) and a cute little workshop for all my lovely tools and I was mapping out what I am going to do with the garden (when the three feet of snow finally goes away!) I love creating sacred outdoor space with plants, water, rock and wood – little magical corners and havens where you can sit and revel in the beauty, map out your dreams or just recline and relax and let nature buzz around you.

This in turn reminded me that I wanted to get the book “Garden Witchery: Magick from the Ground Up” so I popped into one of my favourite local stores to see if they had it. Alas, no and then I had one of those “wowzer” moments! Sitting on the shelf was an Oracle deck that literally shouted at me to pick it up. Now, I am uber picky about the decks that I use and I often will sit on the floor of the store and go through a deck for an hour and still put it back on the shelf. This one though – all I can say was “I didn’t stand a chance”, this was not an invitation from Spirit, but a very clear directive. So without opening it I picked it up and as I was buying it (talk about having things validated), someone walked up to me and handed me a long thin piece of folded paper. Ummm, I don’t do drugs, I don’t want your phone number, what the heck is this – were the first thoughts that dashed through my brain, but as I gently unfolded it there was a gorgeous pressed 4 leaf clover! Whoot, whoot! A gift of a 4 leaf clover on St. Paddy’s day and the exact minute I was following a directive to get this deck. Love how life unfolds.

So guess which deck we are going to work with for this reading? Yes, you guessed it. The new one!!!!!! (She is amazing). When I got home I immediately opened her up and laughed out loud with how perfectly perfect and powerful she was. So she has been cleansed, consecrated and blessed and is the ultimate deck for this pre Spring Equinox reading. Oh yes, how rude of me not to formally introduce her, she is The Earth Warriors Oracle by the amazing Alana Fairchild. Let me read part of the introduction to you so you can get a bit of a feel for her:-

“Earth Warriors are the healers and transformational leaders for a more beautiful world. They destabilise the status quo with their innovative attitude and higher consciousness, defying convention and living from the heart…….they seek love as their leader and wisdom as their guide…..they know what is true in their own hearts, and they refuse to be conditioned by mass consciousness into fear, apathy, complacency or overwhelm and despair. These are the new world leaders in the making, the solution creators. They are stirring up beautiful trouble to challenge mainstream views with higher consciousness and healing change.”

This reading was done a bit differently, only one crystal and Citrine was most adamant that she be front and centre. The cards are fanned out like rays of sunlight.

So with that in mind and the energy of Spring Equinox just around the corner, let’s crack on! I did create a lovely Equinox visualisation if you feel so inclined (think Diana Gabalden and Stonehenge), if not I invite you to take a lovely long deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Wiggle your toes and feel your feet on the floor, solid and safe, take a few glorious deep breaths in and slowly out and when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

HI’AKA – Sorceress of Light

No enemy shall defeat you, not by night, nor by day, not upon the earth, nor in the soul. You are divinely protected and empowered. You shall fulfill your destiny with joy in your heart and laughter in your belly. Play. Be in nature. Feel the freedom of happiness within you even in this moment. These are your sacred powers, and, with them, you shall take every step upon your journey successfully, and nothing shall thwart your divine destiny.

HI’AKA, a goddess of Hawaii, watched over the sacred dancers of the hula and the arts of chant, sorcery and medicine. Hers is the medicine of light, sound and the ability to penetrate the darkness of lower-level consciousness which could overwhelm our sense of spirit, joy, heart and inspiration with defeatism, despair, boredom and even terror. This type of onslaught from darkness comes at certain times to those seeking to embody and enact the light on earth. One of these times may be when we are feeling strong and making progress, and we feel tested to sustain that higher level of being and awareness even through challenge. Another of these times may be when we feel weaker, move vulnerable, perhaps fatigued from a challenging time and just not quite able to summon the quality of joy on our own. In all such moments upon the Spirit Warriors’ path of light, HI’AKA assists.

Ask for healing, mentoring or assistance to support you now. This support will help you feel stronger and more empowered so as to deal with any challenge and be reassured that your spirit can handle it. There is spiritual protection for you now, s you follow the guidance to explore conscious movement and creative self-expression. This can stir up old energy, releasing it from you and allowing vital presence to take hold with you. You are going through an initiation in which you will need to reassert your happiness and joy any time it slips into the darkness of doubt, fear or anxiety. Take time to dance, sing, drum and affirm your aliveness with joy and courage. Become spiritually bolder in the face of anything that attempts to diminish you. Have faith in the power of the Divine Being, the Supreme Power. You are watched over by love.

ALOHA KE AKUA – Blessings of the Supreme Being

ALOHA KE AKUA. The Divine is love. The Supreme Being from which all of life emanates manifests a blessing for you. The realm of the heart is love’s temple. When you enter the heart, you gain access to the Great One and to the “mana”, the power, authority, grace and magnetism to manifest your divine destiny. Trust in what is meant for you. Surrender doubt and disconnection in favour of love and respect for the Great One, and you shall live your true destiny with joy in your heart. Love can and will conquer all.

You have an empowered and open heart that is capable of receiving divine presence. This is a sacred gift that must be protected. Protect the temple of your heart from becoming clouded by fear or lack of forgiveness. The purity and strength of your heart flows from your loving relationship with the Supreme Being, whatever your image of that being may be. Allow yourself to trust unconditionally in your divine relationship, and your affairs will work out beautifully. For every purpose that has been given you, there is also the divine gift of the power to accomplish it. It is only through divine relationship that we can tap into these gifts and make the sacred purpose for our lives a reality in the world. You are one of the souls with a purpose and a heart big enough to be concerned about the spiritual vitality of the many.

A blessing is coming to you now. Things do not need to be complicated. When you are confusing yourself with too many variables, too much information or fear and doubt, focus on filling your heart with love, and let everything else go. The Great One will handle all matters in your life if you open your heart to divine guidance and let go with faith. This will not make you passive, rather it will allow you to feel inspired to take only the most helpful actions. This is an answered prayer and the Divine One has you covered in a situation of concern to you. You are healing and deepening your relationship with the Divine.

PONO PONO – Immeasurable Power of the Heart Way

The heart has the power to heal in a way that the mind cannot understand. Do not allow your mind to distract or frighten you. You are a beautiful child of the Universe and divine love lives within your heart. A willing heart is all that you need to transform any situation that is troubling you. Recognising this power does not evoke feelings of pressure or anxiety, but, rather, of peace and joy. Lightness of heart and relief of mind are here for you now.

PONO, in the Hawaiian tradition, has deep and multiple meanings, one expression of which is the return to order. There is a perfection of peace, beauty and fulfilment that the Divine has planned for the lives of all beings. Through the use of human free will, we have at times moved away from what is in the divine plan, stumbled on the path and become ensnared in terrible suffering and frightening delusion. It then becomes difficult to use our free will with wisdom, and our spiritual disconnection can create far-reaching negative impact for ourselves and others. Yet there is a simple spiritual discipline that we can practice to restore the world – and all hearts within it – to rights again.

The Divine dwells in your heart as a healing power and wisdom, which tenderly alleviates suffering, liberating the body, mind and soul. In the Hawaiian tradition from which it emerges, it is known as Ho’o Pono Pono or “to set things right”. The heart power thrives through this simple four-step practice that can be done by anyone, anywhere, for any person or situation that they would wish to transform. This is not a practice you can approach through the mind. The mind will resist it because it asks for us to take unconditional responsibility for everything that we encounter. The mind confuses responsibility with guilt and giving with deficit. The heart, though, is joyful at the prospect of spiritual responsibility, because it understands that it offers the empowerment to make a difference and that healing one helps heal all.

The Divine within your heart has the power to transform a situation that is troubling you. Do not be intimidated or think it is too much for your or the Divine to handle. Don not allow yourself to intellectualise or analyse a situation to the point of feeling confused or paralysed. Healing through the heart on any and all issues that have plagued you or a loved one can and will happen. Let your heart feel the faith it needs to feel so that it can rest in joy. Divine healing wants to flow abundantly to you. Open up to receive it without hesitation or condition.

Wow! I don’t know about you, but that was an amazing reading. A lot to do with trust, rebirth, heart based and not mind based and just how incredibly powerful and part of the Divine we all are! I thought it was interesting as well that all 3 cards that came were Hawaiian based! I particularly liked that the Pono Pono card came up, I once did this practice for 3 weeks straight and it was incredible to see what happened. So delicious one, take this gorgeous reading and energy with you as we celebrate Equinox tomorrow. Huge hugs and squeezes and remember to breathe into that glorious heart space!
