Happy Miraculous, Magickal, Majestic, Mellow, Momentous, Mystical, Merry, Mischievous, Marmalade Made Manifesting Monday!  (Had to slip Marmalade in as for me marmalade on a glorious piece of fresh bread toasted – nom, nom, nom!)

So how was your Imbolc, New Moon and Chinese New Year?  

What wee seeds are asking you to pay attention to them?  What stretching and awakening is happening for you?

I have to say for me, Imbolc was really, really nice!  We had a massive feast on the Saturday prior and played Killer Bunnies (all the boys, girlfriends etc) and then on February 1st the time in ritual, making glorious food, really dreaming into the seeds of desire was stupendous!  And unlike January, this week flew by!

Quite  a few of you have emailed or messaged asking “Is Imbolc the DAY of awakening and stretching?”  

Imbolc is the first day of the Season that walks with you until Spring Equinox.  

So let me give you a personal example.  Over the winter time I cocooned, and hibernated (and the weather most certainly complied).  The food I ate was richer and heavier (I hadn’t had a salad in months!), and there was a sense of conception, conception of ideas, thoughts and new ways of being.  But like a good chili, the burbling allowed a gentle melding. 

As Imbolc arrived, that burbling has come to a boil, I can see what the pieces are -ish, and now they are coming to the surface.  Yet it’s still not time to take full frontal action, it’s  time for patience.  It is a time of putting the back pieces into place that will support all those wonderful seeds growth.  Does that make sense?  It’s an awakening.  This is what it means to walk with the Wheel of the Year, or the seasons – your body and soul know far, far better than your mind!

Another example is the garden.  We have had a few days that have been sunny, coolish, but no snow.  I live on the coast so our climate is very different to the interior, or other places.  Yet, I know, the planting of the seeds can’t happen for a wee bit, but what I can do is prepare the space and place for them.  So over the weekend, under a cool winterish sun I have been digging up sod, finding it a new home, and beginning to prepare the beds for what they are going to burgeon with over the summer and into the harvest time of Fall.

Yes?

So to loop back – Imbolc is when you allow yourself to gently awaken.  To dream into place the seeds you want to plant for this year (irrelevant of what the news is spewing at you).  What is your Truth?  What are your Desires?  Work with the seasons to bring them into being!  

That’s what we do in The Creatrix Circle and when you are grounded and connected, magick and miracles happen.

So let’s talk about Discipline, shall we?

(Yes Discipline and Awakening do walk together).

The Shamanic energy shift for this month is “DISCIPLINE”.  

As Lena shares – Hang in there…..be patient…..wait for the right timing…..stay in your own lane.

This month is all about taking your commitments to the next level of responsible action, staying out of other people’s drama, and trusting the integrity of your intentions to manifest the perfect opportunities when the timing is right.

Preparedness requires the discipline of staying positive and in your truth no matter what. You can go down the rabbit hole of feeling irritated, self-deprecating, impatient with yourself and others, or simply critical and judgmental about everything. Or, you can be disciplined about being your best self; optimistic, generous, kind, compassionate, accepting, and in gratitude. Not everyone will have this outlook on life, so it is best if part of your discipline this month includes being discerning about where and whom you spend time with.

The distractions of drama, addictive behaviors, overthinking, ambivalence, obsession, blame, and wishing it were different than it is are all part of ego’s determination to keep you from moving forward into the opportunities you can create for yourself. The discipline is much about not listening to the negative voice that wishes to keep you small and limited………..

So do you see how that ties in with the energy of Imbolc?

To add to that, I acquired about 120 new friends this last week!

No, I am not talking about humans, but crows.  

Now, if you have been with me a while, you will know I normally get one crow who hangs out, scares away unpleasant people and brings me gifts.  Well………. This week I have had over 100 crows visit everyday.  The noise is huge!  

They come swooping in in drifts and march around over the garden, the lawn, the railings, you name it!  They chunter away, hop around, come natter from the back deck railing and then fly up to the sky in a swath of black, swirl around and come back.  I have to say – I love it!  (Yes, I could happily wander around with a crow on my shoulder lol).

But what does that mean?  For me, you never mess with Crows (they remember your face!).  The Crow for a long time has been a symbol of Magic.  It’s said that the Crow holds within its mind’s eye the three realities: past, present and future.  For me, Crow energy is potent and very clear.  So what are the birds that resonate for you?  What are their messages?

So as I allow the gentle stretching and awakening I feel very thrilled to have Crows coming and hanging out!  

Okay, I have chuntered a ton (not a surprise), so let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide this week, the glorious Faery Forest Oracle were adamant, which made me smile a lot.  If this deck is new to you please let me introduce your guides (as that is always polite).  “Let us enter the wild green world together, friend, the faery forests where the great trees speak with us, the moss soft underfoot, the light pure and gentle.  The homes of the once Sacred groves of the Celts, the Saxons, and the Vikings…and to the people who were here long before we had names with which to call them to us – the faerie people.  May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.”

So mote it be.

I have created a guided visualisation for you to really see this energy coming to you. If that doesn’t resonate then just Breathe.  Breathe into your toe nails, breathe into the roots of your hair, breathe in all the promises, the blessings and opportunities and sigh your exhale out, letting go of anything that feels a tad sticky or tacky.

When you are ready, I invite your inner wise knowing to pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Take a breath and let’s go have a look!

BEFORE THE GATHERING

For you, dear one, a celebration is coming – a time to acknowledge the markings and passing of the great turns of the wheel, and for you to gather together with friends, relatives, and significant beings and ask them to uite in a common cause of joy for what has been achieved.

It is time to look forward, to anticipate, and to prepare – for this event may even be taking place simply on an energetic level, as all the beings who have long wished for your wellbeing now gather together to applaud the place where you are right now.

This will be coming for you, and it is in the future, so this is a great omen for you.  It is time for you to put on your finest garments, take the very best goblets and chalices from their dusty hiding laces, and raise a glass of bubbling faery energy to the wonders of life.  

Whatever it may be, it is essential to mark the impending time with joy, applause, and an expression of bounty.  Prepare, be ready, and enjoy, dear one.  You deserve all that this exciting and exhilarating occasion heralds, for after the effort, comes the reward.  Soon it will be yours.

THE WILD HUNT

There is, for all of us, a moment when excitement and nerves fuse, when we prepare to journey and do something we have anticipated for a long time.  In the faery realm, this sensation is created by adventure known as the Wild Hunt.  This is a gathering which takes place not only within the realm of faery, it is one where the faery king and queen lead faery hounds and faery horses on a hunt throughout the countryside, dipping into and out of the faery lands, surfacing in the human worlds from time to time, cleansing toxic energy, allowing natural forces to begin to flow through the cleared energy paths, awakening the wild world to brightest life once again, and leaving a trail of ecstasy and bliss after the frenzied storm of their ride.

The Wild Hunt is fierce, powerful, a little frightening, and thoroughly thrilling – and this faery queen is preparing herself for the joys and challenges of this great springtime event.  So too you need to prepare yourself for some chaos – a wild time, when change tears through and upends all the order you have attached yourself to.  You may need to pack, travel, find ways to move quickly, stop planning and organising for a moment and just go on an immensely enjoyable ride of your life.

The time coming for you is delirious in its excitement, and you fear this loss of control and order.  But truly, it will refresh you, just as it sears the very edges of your nerves!  Dress up, show up, and prepare to be amazed!  Take a deep breath, find your voice, and begin to cry out at the top of your lungs.  You are alive my friend, and will feel so more than ever before when the wild hunt touches your life!

THE GOLDEN UNICORN

Everyone deserves to have another person in their life to whom they can turn for protection and care.  When this card comes for you, the Golden Unicorn is showing you the path to a person, advisor, or mentor who will assist you through the challenges you are now facing.  When the Golden Unicorn appears, it is a beacon of hope, for with the right guidance, what seems to be impossible can be achieved, and you will no longer feel so raw, vulnerable, and unable to go on.

If you are facing unjust circumstances – you will be shown, step by step, how to get through this time, when it seems that all friends have fallen away, and the world is no longer a safe place.  The glorious golden unicorn leads with reason, intelligence, and intuitive brilliance.  With their guidance you will come to a safer place within the world, and be wiser in choices regarding friendships, alliances, partnerships.

You are wiser now, and will never be quite so hurt again.  There is now protective energy about you, and it is safe for you to leave the current circumstances and create a new path.  The judgment you have sensed about you will now dissipate, and true, good people enter your life to help heal the pain of friendships that have fallen.

Well my delicious lovely, I hope you heard the message for you and are paying attention! I would like to express my love and thanks for all your glorious messages, emails and comments!  Wishing you a glorious week of stretching, awakening, touching into the earth, and allowing the messages that show up around you to be seen and heard.   Massive hugs and squeezes for you and see you next week.

Last Reading of the Year, Solstice is here! And a Massive Thanks for You!

· ·

Happy, Happy, Happy Marvelous, Manifesting, Magnificent, Magickal, Miraculous, Mellow, Magnanimous Monday! And the last reading of the year! (Holy Hannah it has certainly been a year).

Another turn of the Wheel, another cycle of growth, coming to an end.

But let’s be honest – we are blessed to be here!

Think back to who you were a year ago.  The person you were heading into the 2021 cycle.  Think of all the life you’ve lived over the past year.  You’re different now.  

You’ve faced challenges. You’ve had to stretch & push yourself to get through them. You’ve learned things because of them – about yourself, about the world around you.

You’re wiser than you were a year ago.

It has been a long hard year. And now you get to rest. 

This Winter Solstice carries us into the season of deep, profound, medicinal rest.

Resting is your MOST IMPORTANT WORK in the season ahead. Can you make ‘Rest’ the most important thing on your To Do list this winter?? (And for more amazing ways to mark this season of Solstice, The Book of Winter Solstice will help you there!)

I sure am!  With Solstice tomorrow, I am giving myself the time to reflect, nourish my soul and relax.  So effective Solstice I am taking a couple of weeks off and the only “planned things” are prepping and cooking for the homeless on Xmas Eve and Xmas Day, then doing the family dinner on Boxing Day.  

The rest of the time I plan on doing some glorious deep exploration with my soul, unraveling of this last year and visioning for 2022, oh yes, and reading all those books I haven’t had time to! (I am so excited!)

How are you feeling about 2022?  What do you believe it holds for you, or are you leary to even venture down that road?  (Because let’s be honest the last two years have certainly been most “interesting” to say the least!)  

A gentle reminder that the Winter Solstice reading special is still available for a few more days, and one of the readings is working with the tarot and capturing the major energy that will be in play for you personally, in 2022.  (Mine was so accurate for this year it was uncanny). These will be delivered in January.

There is one thing I would like to say to YOU (yes, that’s YOU).  

I am so grateful for YOU.   

All the amazing messages, stories and heartfelt longings that you have all shared with me over the last year have been incredible.  The sharing, and your incredible strength and vulnerability, fills my heart with huge gratitude that you are part of my community.  So massive thanks! You are really quite amazing!

I wish for you a season filled with rest, relaxation, love and magic!  Give yourself time to dream and the little seeds of your future that are tucked safe into the earth, let them rest as you breathe them into being.  

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading.  It was quite interesting today, as I know for a fact I was guided to the 3 cards that should be shared and yet when I laid them out there were 4?????  Ah well, there is a message here that really wants to be shared!  

So when I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide and support this week I giggled when I saw it was The Oracle of Shadows and Light.  With the invitation to walk into the darkness of Winter Solstice and soon to be Winter, as well as the Full Moon.  Perfect!

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them:-  Wisdom for Misfits, Mystics, Seekers, and Wanderers. 

Bittersweet…Unheard…Unconventional…Rebellious…Cheeky…Whimsical…Invisible.  They’re not the words you often hear associated with the spiritual world, are they?  Nevertheless, some of the most spiritual beings who have ever lived are those who have been most at odds with what we call the mainstream.  They do not fit in.  They have had moments of despair.  And they know being truthful, and being real, is one of the greatest strengths and spiritual paths of all!  They ask you to step out from the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and to consult with an oracle that acknowledges your individuality and strange genius!  

How’s that for a warm welcome?

So take a moment dear one to just breathe yourself back into your body.  See your heart as a delicious magnet that pulls all the pieces of you back.  Pieces you may have left in the bustle of getting ready for the holidays.  Pieces that may be attached to an old hurt.  Just allow your amazing heart magnet to pull them all back to you, here and now.  

Then when you are ready, listen to the guided visualisation and then pick the card or cards that call to you.  

Did you remember to pick?

Come see.

LANTERN FAIRY

This sweet fairy is showing you a way through a barrier you have reached in your life.  This may be in any area of your life – but it does feel that you have come up against a very solid obstacle.  This gentle fairy, with her bright lantern, can take you to a place in this wall that has already come down, so you can move through this obstacle without force or fear.  Your only requirement is to trust this fairy and then to take down several bricks after you have moved through so the wall between this world and the next, your love and your life, becomes slowly less and less solid.  The wall is coming down:  this is the fairy’s role, to help you move beyond the wall.  Trust her.  She will guide you.

Sometimes, people say you should be cautious about where information is coming from.  And that is indeed true.  I am simply holding up the lantern I carry and gently letting you see the likely outcome of the decisions you are making and offering a clear solution to the problem at hand.  Something has come to an end.  A true end, and you have, as they say, hit the wall.  You could try digging under it, or climbing over it, or you could try taking down the wall brick by brick.  But if you follow me, I can show you a place where the wall has already come down, and where you can move through this obstacle without pain.  My guidance is safe, clear, and gentle.  I am here to clear the way and light the path.  It is up to you whether you make it harder than it needs to be. 

Old patterns are being removed, little by little, but will need your trust.  Old shielding against certain energies needs to be replaced and reworked, as it is no longer in line with what you wish for and in fact may be proving to be a barrier, which is keeping you isolated instead of protected.  Trust where the light leads you – go where you can feel true love, kindness, and freedom.  Avoid all that comes from anger, hatred, judgment, blame and ridicule.  

WITCH AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Storms fly about her, electrical whips crack through the heavy air with their bites of fire, and she sits among them, hugging her hourglass, holding everything together till the force creating the change has done its work.  When the Witch at the End of the World makes her appearance to you, you will know that something’s time has come.  There can be no more delaying, for the change has begun.  So the best thing for you to do now is prepare for this change.  Find solutions to challenges that will come up when the change comes.  You will be fine, by the way, and all will be well, but there will be a time of seeming chaos and difficulty.  If you are prepared, and ready to let go and change, and let something end, the little witch’s countdown will not affect you as it will affect others who refuse to acknowledge that changes are coming and become fearful at their inevitable approach.  There is nothing to fear, but plenty to prepare for.  You will be safe, and well, and very ready to embrace the new world.  

I am not wicked, but I am a witch, and changes are made when the world bends and shifts.  I hold this hourglass up to  you now so you know that the time for an ending is almost upon us.  You can see the signs all about you – the strange weather, the hurricanes, the cyclones, the earth changes all about us – but so many simply say I am wicked for showing you this.  They blame me for what they call the catastrophes, and they ignore the signs.  They are with you, and it is time to be ready.  We are all about to experience a huge change – and it will be for the better.  But while we hold on to the old, the storms will blast us, and the land will shift, and self-healing will look like destruction.

There is nothing to be frightened of; only a voyage to weather, and you’ll make it through to the other side of the storm.  The changes are part of our journey to a fifth-dimensional world, of the shift to a more peaceful planet, where shadows and light are loved and accepted.  All is well. 

MEND A BROKEN HEART FAIRY

Here she comes to gather up your heart’s sore pieces and place a sweet bandage on the place that is most wounded.  And this one tender gesture does more to heal you than could a thousand years of therapy.  It’s time for small kindnesses to be received, for you to know that the little gifts of friendship and sweetness are the ones that will assist you most at this time.  

Allow yourself to be treated gently, to be attended to with kindness, and to be hugged.  Allow yourself to accept that this is a time when you need to take good care of yourself.  You are healing, and on the mend, but do not undo her medicine by forcing yourself to hurry up and get over it!

When you have heartache, it is important to treat yourself well: take time away from the flurry of shoulds you are so often confronted with.  Why not take some time to snuggle on the couch with a favourite old  movie, and have a sniffle.  Have a long, comforting bath, and be sure to make a promise to yourself to let close people who are worthy of you and of your love!  It is not about being bitter or guarded, but you are a sensitive and tender sweet being, and some people are just…not!  So now is not the time for harshness.  Soft blankets, sweet dreams, long baths, and a reduction of the harsh energy around you are best.  

Then the Mend A Broken Heart Fairy can fly in to soothe you….. You will feel her presence, and she will lift the pain, until all that is left is sweet, gentle wisdom!

FAIRY OF THE HIGHLANDS

It’s time to be brave.  

The Fairy of the Highlands does not want to fight; she feels it is not in hernature.  She wants to resolve disputes peacefully.  But she will fight if it must come to that.  And she is showing you now that you too have the means to stand up for yourself – even though you have almost chronically avoided conflict and allowed others to take advantage.  

It is time to take up this sword, step into that part of yourself that knows how to take a stand, speak the truth, and not back down when the threat of conflict looms.  It may seem unnatural, and wrong, and frightening, and this little fairy knows it.  But it is time; and this giving up of what you have worked so hard for in order to avoid conflict or confrontation is no longer right.  Take the stand, and hold up the word.  

The time of truce is over.  It is time to speak your truth and be strong.  People have been taking over your ground, wanting what you have worked hard for, without doing the work themselves.  They have done so by taking advantage of your peaceful nature.  But enough is enough.  Sad as it is, it is time to change this, to cut away the cords between you and those who have taken so much, and now you will go into battle.  Yes, it is sad.  Yes, the Highland Fairy is sad for you.  But do not allow sorrow and guilt to neglect self-protection. 

Honour yourself, raise your sword, and do not back down!…………………………………..

Woosah!  Delicious and clear and interestingly enough 2 of these cards have turned up at this exact same time two years ago.  So there is a message there!  

Anyhow, delicious lovely.  Blessings on your holiday season.  Don’t forget the Guidance for 2022 is available for the next wee bit as is the Book of Winter Solstice.  

May you be well, May you be safe, May you be at peace, May you live with ease.

See you next year.  Big hugs and squeezes!

New Moon Solar Eclipse, Hope and a Candle Ritual.

· ·

Happy Marvelous, Magnificent, Magnanimous, Magickal, Mysterious, Manifesting, Miraculous Monday!  How are you delicious lovely?  Are you keeping your sense of balance as the holiday season ramps up with fervour and a tad of franticness?

We have lots to natter about this week, so grab a cuppa as we go explore this potent New Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius that happens on Saturday, a New Moon Total Solar Eclipse is one of the most powerful Eclipses we can experience and why we should turn out thoughts towards Hope.  

As Forever shares:- “Let’s take a trip down memory lane, all the way back to May 2020. What growth have you achieved since this time? How has your life changed?

Since May 2020, we have been working our way through the Sagittarius-Gemini Eclipse cycle, but this cycle is now coming to an end and will wrap up on December 3/4, with a final New Moon Total Solar Eclipse.

Reaching the endpoint in an Eclipse cycle is a significant moment. It represents arriving at a new destination. It is a point in our lives where something or some part of us is fully reborn and fully integrated, and ready to play an active part in our lives.

So much has unfolded in the world since May of 2020. On a collective level, there was a grieving experience that unfolded as we were all forced to change our way of living. Events were canceled, holidays were postponed, jobs were lost. And it is perhaps only now that we are starting to see just how this chain reaction of events has led us to where we stand today.

Of course, while this energy was experienced on a collective level, we also have our own personal stories too and leading up to this Total Solar Eclipse, we may now start to see a pattern in how we were being guided and where we were being asked by the Universe to level up in our lives.

Eclipses represent portals into new states of consciousness. They tend to bring events that shift and transform our lives, allowing us to step into a new chapter of our soul’s evolution.

This New Moon Total Solar Eclipse falls in Sagittarius and is like the last step on this journey we have been traveling. It opens the final door on this path and can bring the rewards of our hard work.  Whatever this Eclipse cycle has triggered in us, however we have been asked to grow and change, we will now start to see the end of the journey. 

A new clarity will emerge, and with that new clarity, it will feel like we are opening to a new chapter.

There is no doubt that New Moon Eclipses are powerful times of manifestation and can activate whatever we have been sowing.  Under their presence, energy is drawn towards us, allowing our energy field to become a magnet to whatever needs to come our way.

While this Solar Eclipse is bringing the culmination of all our energies since this Eclipse cycle began, we can also use it to set an intention about what we wish to attract. We can use its energy in a deliberate way to draw in all that we wish to experience.

So with this potent energy available to you, let’s explore Hope.  

Now you may be thinking to yourself – ummm, errr, Jen why are we talking about Hope?

Yesterday was the first Sunday (or candle of Advent).  Advent includes the four Sundays prior to Christmas, and is a time of inner searching, introspection and anticipation.

It is through the darkness of the Earth we await the birth of a new inner light to warm our hearts and strengthen our thoughts and deeds.  Advent is a journey inward to the soul, where we become aware of the eternal light that lightens our way. 

It is also so beautifully entwined in the northern hemisphere with the Winter Solstice and the return of the Sun, and in the southern hemisphere with Summer– celebrating the Sun. 

For those celebrating the Advent festival, and to all spiritual beliefs and traditions, this time of year has something special for everyone – the Season of Light on so many levels.

As we turn inwards with the energy of the season and walk into the darkness, It is a time of seeking and keeping that light aglow and sharing the light.

The delicious piece here is that as you step into the darkness to release, there is a place for Hope.   

Now I will be honest, the word “Hope” has never been one of my favourite words as I find it is used far too much i.e. – I hope the kids do their chores, I hope I win the lottery, I hope the cat doesn’t cough a hairball on the clean laundry……….  So the word Hope always felt a bit banal to me, thus, I went exploring and reading and have to say I really like this definition, it is one I can get behind:-

“Hope is a feeling of trust, a 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?

When my kids were small they went to Waldorf for their wee years and in Waldorf education, each week of Advent is assigned a “theme” of sorts and is a time for reflection and gratitude towards the different realms of our earth: stones & minerals; plants; animal kingdom; and humankind.

Over the last few weeks I have been making candles galore, filled with essential oils, dried flowers, crystals and magick.  Thus, over the weekend, I gathered ivy and cedar and made a wreath that sits on my dining room table with five of the lovely candles that I have made. 

As I lit the first one I breathed in Hope, and also honoured the stones and the bones by decorating around that candle with seashells, crystals and beach stones.  

As the first verse says – The first light of Advent is the light of stone–.  Light that lives in crystals, seashells, and bones.

Doing this reminds me we are all connected and we have lots to be grateful for (even on those dark days).

So an invitation for you to deepen into this practice over the next month is a simple candle ritual.  And if you are part of The Creatrix Circle, you will know that ritual is an intention made  manifest.  A ritual takes an idea, thought or emotions and gives it physical form in the world. 

A ritual allows your body, your cells to understand your intention..

Get 4 or 5 candles.  You can make a wreath, or place them on your mantelpiece or wherever resonates for you.  Then put some lovely crystals, stones or shells by the first one – the candle of Hope. Then every evening this week light the first candle and as it burns breathe in Hope, turn your mind, heart and soul over to Hope.  And let that gentle energy dance in your body as the flame dances on the candle.  Yes?

Now enough chuntering from me, let’s crack on with the reading.   When I went to the cards to ask who would like to be present this week it made my heart smile to see who showed up.  The amazing Faery Blessing guides were most adamant.  As after all, who doesn’t need a Blessing?

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them as it would be 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.  

For humans, many of us have lost our sense of play, our sense of relationship with nature, our courage to be ourselves – as well as our hope, creativity, and personal power.  We have looked outside of ourselves and nature and the sacred ones for answers, and in doing so, we have become quite lost.  The blessings of the faeries can bring us back into relationship with ourselves, back into relationship with the elements and the elementals, 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.  

Yes!  Positively perfect!

So gorgeous one take a breath.  Just a normal breath and then as you carry on breathing allow it to slow down.  Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.  Allow in your mind’s eye a gorgeous rainbow swirl to form, this pattern is made Hope.  That deep trust and knowing.   As you breathe just let it swirl, you don’t have to control it.  

Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper to you and tickle your soul.

For those who have said they would like to hear the Hope Guided Visualisation again, here it is.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

A BLESSING OF GLAMOUR

The Blessing of faery glamour is the gift of being able to change and appear a little different than how we feel to be.  For some people, this could seem a ruse or manipulation.  In truth, though, it is the ability to draw deeply from within us to find the strength to become what we need to be.  You are now gifted the blessing of faery glamour, and you will find you can draw confidence from deep within you in challenging circumstances.

The faeries will lend you some of their energy, too, so you can feel brave within an intimidating situation – overcome nerves that might prevent you from doing something you would otherwise enjoy, find the strength to confront what must be confronted, or head to a meeting with confidence.

Faery glamour is also the ability to physically change.  So to others you may now seem a little taller, and you will have greater belief in your own presence, now, too, to know that you draw your energy up from within and have influence by showing all of what you can be.

Let the mantle of the blessing of glamour now fall about you, to help you feel and be powerful, even when exhausted; to feel attractive, despite societal conditioning and criticism; to speak your truth, when you feel afraid of what the truth’s reception will be.

May you be invisible when you do not wish to be seen and be seen when you wish to have presence.  You now have the gift of glamour, and you can use it to call upon your own faery blood to arise and be of assistance to you when the travails of the human world can seem a burden.

Draw up the glamour from within and assert a boundary, repel a predator, create an impression, and believe in yourself once again. 

A blessing of the faery glamour to you, friend.

A BLESSING OF NWYFRE

The Faery now offer you the gift of Nwyfre, the blessing of healthy energy, clear and revitalising, which will manifest in a kind of flow all about you, radiating from within.  This primal force of energy, Nwyfre, will give you more energy to move well, to be of good cheer, to do what needs to be done, and to do what you wish to do.

With this faery blessing comes a sense of being here, of being grounded and centred, of strength and a thriving energy, of feeling strong and well, connected and supported.  You will feel the urge to spend time outdoors, within natural light – with the trees, or with the animals, or the ocean or bodies of water.  All of these sources of natural life force will feel more connected to you than before, almost as if the world is speaking with you and you can speak to the world in return.

If you have felt nervous, or frail, unwell, or uncertain, this flow of Nwyfre will enter you, a blessing from the realm of the fae, and it will be of great assistance.  This blessing is a regaining of energy, a sense of rising up from within a greater source of vitality – and this is the support of the faery realm.

Its gift will be felt in the breath and the blood, in the bones and in your heart, and you will shine once again, with a life force and a glow that will let people know they have met a person who is well and blessed.

A blessing of Nwyfre to you, friend.

A BLESSING OF THE SEELIE

A gift from the Seelie Court is yours.  The Seelie Court is a place where you are treated with courtesy and honour, respect and grace.  To be blessed by the Seelie is to have kindness enter your life.  This blessing from the Seelie Court acknowledges the courtesy and respect you have extended to others, and the kindnesses you have done, again and again, without thought for what you would receive in return.

The Seelie have been observing your goodness, and due to this goodness, you are now receiving a reward.  You will find consideration and empathy, understanding and rewards, when this blessing comes to you.  There could be a small windfall, a little extra of everything – so that, suddenly, it seems like the Universe is supporting you, and that what once was a struggle becomes easier.

In the old days, the blessing of the Seelie meant the cow’s milk was sweeter and more abundant, the grain grew high in the fields, and babes grew strong in days filled with gentle sunshine.  

For you, your tender plans and hopes will have every kindness to support them, as the blessing of the Court of the Seelie is yours, and with that, comes a time of grace and ease, compassion and flow.

Blessings.

Well delicious lovely, that was quite a Divine reading! Wishing you a stupendous week filled with Hope.  Remember to light your candle every evening and allow the tendrils of Hope to seep into your day to day and soothe your soul.  Big hugs and squeezes and play with Eclipse!  

Post Eclipse, When your Faith Tanks and playing the Thanks Game!

· ·

Happy Miraculous, Majestic, Musical, Manic, Moodling, Merry, Manifesting, Magickal Monday!

How was Eclipse for you?  

Now if you remember an eclipse  can generate an awareness of something larger, running the show and they poke holes in our ego/identity revealing things within us that we have been avoiding or are totally unaware of.  

An eclipse uncovers things.  Some we want to see and others we really don’t. Lunar Eclipses are like extra potent Full Moons. They illuminate areas of our lives that need to be cleared and swept away. They shine a light on all that no longer needs to be present with us.  They reveal to us where we are holding on too tightly, and where we have to surrender and let go.

So if you have been feeling a tad vulnerable, a bit weebly – it will all be okay!  Just breathe into that space and trust that as you shed old things you create space for new seeds to be sown.

For all my wonderful American friends “Happy Thanksgiving!” I have to admit that I find it a tad odd to have Thanksgiving so close to Xmas, but hey I love to celebrate most everything (ask my kids).  It could be winter solstice, summer solstice, equinox, Full Moon, New Moon, Chinese New Year, Easter, Valentine’s, the sun is shining, the snow is falling – you name it! 

Even simple things like the first flowers of spring, or having gorgeous flowers on my desk whilst it is grey and rainy outside.  Life is a celebration and quite frankly I chose to celebrate as much as possible.

Though to be honest this week, I found it challenging to celebrate as my faith in humanity had tanked somewhat.  

We have had torrential rains and the devastation they have created has been huge.  Towns gone under the water, people homeless, cars caught in mudslides, huge chunks of major roads wiped out.  Many areas of BC took a shit kicking to say the least.

Many people have been amazing, and really pulled together to help each other and those in need, however, the masses – wow.

The masses dropped into “Screw everyone else, it’s all about me” (like the beginning of Covid) and went into a place of panic and fear.  So how did they deal with it?  Panic buying and hoarding!  It has been mind blowing to watch.

A woman with two grocery buggies filled with milk, (just milk), and when asked if she was buying for a restaurant, friends and family her response was “Fuck no, this is for me.”  Line ups at the petrol stations that are over a 100 cars long, in fact so long they are blocking traffic and emergency vehicles and buses couldn’t get through.  A chap with 40 packs of toilet paper!  What on goddesses green earth do you do with 480 rolls of lou paper?  People screaming and being abusive to each other or the employees in stores.  

It made me shake my head and think “A nice cabin out in the woods far away from this is a great idea!”  

I mean seriously!  Did we learn nothing from the onset of Covid, that we are all in this together?  Apparently not.  So I have avoided stores and petrol stations like the plague as the frenetic selfishness and level of entitlement has been too intense.  And to be honest – disgusting to watch.  It’s as if a flock of locusts have descended on all the stores, yet the ironic thing is – There is No Shortage.  Other than the one that has just been created by panic buying.  Sigh.  

So this got me to pondering and on Friday when the Eclipse happened there was a lot of releasing going on. And then I remembered the Thanks game, a fabulous game to play any time of the year, but even more appropriate with American Thanksgiving this week.

Ready to play?

I invite you (no matter where you live) to harness the energy of Thanksgiving and really give thanks for all the pieces that make up your most delicious self and life (yes, even the ones you judge harshly).  

Give thanks for all the various people, places and things that you are thankful for – they could be present day, past day or future day.  List them all in your mind one at a time and as you bring them into your consciousness, smile and blow them a kiss (yes, seriously blow them a kiss).  

See the kiss leaving your hand and turning into a gorgeous gold butterfly that flies off to that person or part of yourself and gently lands on their right cheek and brushes them softly with your blessing, thanks and appreciation.  

I sent so many lovely golden butterflies out to the amazing women in The Creatrix Circle especially as we had our very first Tea Time this weekend which was filled with laughter, sharing and empowering each other.

Now, think of all the people, places, things or situations that you have a challenge with, or that you don’t feel so kindly towards.  Take a deep breath in and exhale. 

Bring them up one at a time in your mind’s eye and blow them a kiss.  This time as the kiss leaves your hand it turns into a delightful little pink heart filled with love and forgiveness and wings its way through the ether to gently land where it is meant to.  

Another big breath in and as you exhale wrap your arms around yourself in a HUGE bear hug and see glorious golden light surrounding you like a cocoon and give thanks for your body, your heart, your soul, your mind and the delicious light that is you.  Big squeeze and as you release your arms gently open your eyes and smile.

It definitely helps in any situation, but especially when stupidity seems to have taken the steering wheel of society!

So with all of that chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the guides and cards and asked who wanted to show and shine – the deck that came out loud and proud this week is The Oracle of the Divine Circus.   The reason I laughed is these glorious guides are playful, but deep.  They think outside the box and invite you to do the same.  

If you have never met these glorious guides, please let me introduce you.  “What is life if not a Divine Circus?  Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us a moment earlier.  Life is magical, thrilling, sometimes strange and even scary.  It can inspire you and touch your soul, inviting you to discover the unique magic within you, to dare to live it, to express it, to play with possibilities and embrace what sets you apart from the crowd. “

So just settle in delicious lovely. Allow yourself to calm and to just breathe. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that pull at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

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

The Divine Disguise brings you the promise of 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.  The real beauty of a situation isn’t obvious to you yet.  It could be a delay or change in plans that runs out to be in your favour, even if at the time you aren’t sure it signals failure!  It could be the wrong person saying no so the right person can say yes.  It could be being blocked from turning back to your past, so you must continue forward to the magic of your future.

Don’t worry.  Even that which appears most troublesome is going to reveal itself to be working in your favour.

DARK HARLEQUIN

Bells are ringing from deep inside.  Something that once had to hide is seeking your attention.  It wants out!  It wants to be free!  As you release what was once shut away, your discomfort shall turn to glee.  You are a spiritual adventurer!  You are not afraid to go to the edge of what you know, of who you have believed yourself to be.  Even when before you lies the darkness of unknown worlds, of undiscovered parts of you, even when you feel uncertainty, discomfort or doubt, you are still willing to figure out what it’s all about.  This fine and fierce attitude gives you a special kind of grace, the grace to discover that you are a living, wild, divinely free and empowered force to be reckoned with in this world.  That discovery sets you free from fear and unleashes you upon a path of loving wild creation and joyful abandon!  

So you’ve come to a place in you, and in your life, where you don’t know.  You don’t know what’s happening.  You don’t know how to work through it.  You don’t know who you are (well, not all of who you are).  You don’t know what you don’t know.  You are at the point of not knowing because you are growing. There will be surprises.  There will be discoveries.  You’ll feel awkward at times, like you are trying to see in the dark.  You’ll wonder if you are supposed to be so confused, if you are supposed to feel like you aren’t sure who you are anymore, or even if the things that once made sense in your life are supposed to seem so fragile, as though life, once thought rock solid, actually turns out to be a house of cards.  The answer, of course, is yes.  Yes, it’s a royally divine mess.  

Don’t be afraid to let there be some inner rattling and rampaging.  You are at a time when you are naturally diving into the darkness for a healing purpose.  So ask the difficult questions.  Do things you wouldn’t normally do.  Experiment with thinking in ways you wouldn’t normally think.  Be willing to let everything change for the better by first letting go of how things are now.  The messier your inner world seems to be right now, the more you can expect complete and utter transformation as a new order comes into form.  Expect the unexpected, for you were born to grow into what is happening now.  

It’s time to let the wild thing within out!

SECRET OF SHINOBI

Shhhhhh!  Can you keep a secret?  It’s time to play your cards close to your chest.  Soon enough, you’ll be ready to stand upon the mountain top for all to see and hear.  For now, let things unfold in the guarded privacy of your inner world.  When the time is right to be seen in the light, you’ll know what is true and what to do.  Until then, be patient, be private, be committed and wait for the right time to shine.

Sometimes being less visible, less transparent, less “seen” for a time is helpful.  It doesn’t mean being dishonest or deceptive, but it does mean keeping your intentions and your truths to yourself until you see the best way to attain your goals.  In fact, the best way to attain your goals might be more of the “iron fist in velvet glove” approach.  You might find that gentle persuasion works far better than direct confrontation, which can unintentionally inflame a situation and trigger defensive reactions in others instead of finding a way to bring resolution.

If you have been frustrated that you are not breaking through into a more prominent position or not being seen as clearly as you would like, don’t worry.  That will -pass and you will be given your time to stand up and be seen at the right time.  

When it is time to show your hand, to reveal your intentions and speak more openly and publicly about what has been gestating, you’ll know it; but for now, let things come together away from prying eyes.  Just for now, it’s time to keep a secret.

Oh wow, positively perfect for this time.  (Seriously, you can’t make this shit up!)  So gorgeous one, sending you huge love, ease and thanks.  I am thankful for you exactly as you are – perfectly imperfect, which is the best way to be.  Be kind to yourself, and remember to play the Thanks game when you need a tune up!  Big hugs and squeezes.
