Miracles

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).

Mothering and the Blood Moon Eclipse.

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Marvelous, Magickal, Magnificent, Miraculous, Merry, Majestic, Manifesting Monday delicious lovely! How was Mother’s Day for you?

I realised yesterday that asking that question can be rather loaded as there are so many energies that float around that day, there’s:- love, frustration, loss, disconnect, yearning, joy, expectations, connection, being invisible – and so very many more.

It reminded me of years ago when I was in a lovely Kundalini yoga class and my most amazing mentor invited us to bring in our Mother, to feel that energy of safety, unconditional love and peace.

Well, I have to say that was not what happened for me by any stretch, instead it brought up loss, abandonment, grief and some very dark emotions which had me sobbing the whole way through class! (Gotta love how energy moves).

Afterwards I went up and shared with her my experience and she could really hear how that didn’t feel safe inviting that person in. So instead she invited me to bring in someone who represented that mothering energy instead – so the next time I happily brought in my Great Aunt, another Aunt and a lovely older female friend, amazing women who had “mothered” me and some still do. Which in turn created a totally different experience!

This also got me to pondering the Roe vs Wade issue that is happening in the US at the moment. (Ready for a soapbox moment?)

To be honest, I had never wanted children when I was younger. I wasn’t one of those young women who said “I want to get married, have kids etc.” Hell no!

So to ensure that didn’t happen I took every form of birth control known to humankind, in fact at one point they took the pill I was taking off the market due to heart issues. Condoms, spermicide, diaphragms, IUD’s, the pill – you name it, I took them.

As a woman, and a mother of 5 I have been pregnant 10 times.

I chose to terminate two pregnancies, with great conscious awareness and gratitude that this was available to me, though I will be honest – the first termination I was 19 years old and the doctor made it a living hell for me and lectured me from a place of judgement, patriarchy and disgust. I have miscarried 3 times. And I am also blessed with 5 amazing children, who I have learned a lot from, and they have helped me grow up.

But to be told that I could have no control over my body, my own choices, that I had to bear a child? I’m sorry, that is fucked in my books (and if that offends you let’s appreciate to differ shall we?)

Okay, I will step off my soapbox now, but whichever side you land on this argument. Please ponder it. Ponder it deeply. We all should have choice. We all should have a voice.

This coming weekend ( in fact on May 15th), we will have another eclipse.

This is a Blood Moon Eclipse in Scorpio – so what does that mean?

Eclipses are harbingers of change — they usher in evolution. At a lunar eclipse, the shadow of the Earth falls across the face of the Moon bringing unconscious feelings to the surface, grounding them in reality. Lunar eclipses are culminations of emotional cycles that have run their course, and they encourage us to let go of emotions and attachments that are no longer serving us.

All Eclipses activate our soul contract, bringing forward events that are necessary for the growth and evolution of our soul. Even though Eclipses can bring challenges our way, they always put us where we need to be.

As Forever shares:

“Under the May 2022, Blood Moon Eclipse, we are being guided to close the door on a chapter in our lives. This Eclipse represents endings, closure, and completion. Something needs to end, and this Eclipse is going to be the trigger.

As this Eclipse falls in the transformative sign of Scorpio, we may also find ourselves retreating within to shed layers and move into a deeper and more authentic state of being.

Scorpio is represented by the scorpion for its ability to transform itself and shed its skin. But Scorpio energy is also connected to the Phoenix too. The Phoenix has the ability, the strength, and the power to birth itself from ashes. From the ashes it rises into its true and highest form.”

Eclipses are brilliant illuminators, revealing a truth about a condition that you never in a million years knew existed. Once you are given the information, the news can act as a catalyst to a major decision or action you will take. Most often we are shocked or surprised by the information that comes to us, for the eclipse is one of the most dramatic tools the universe uses to get you to sit up, pay attention, and take action. Eclipses are always your friends, for they are there to help to protect you.

Always be grateful for the truth.

Hmmmm, I don’t know about you but I feel that as a collective we need to shed quite a few things. Don’t you?

Okay, enough chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading. The cards that were most adamant to come and guide this week are The Oracle of Shadows and Light. Now if these guides are new to you, let me introduce them (as that’s the polite thing to do), 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?

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to come to the forefront are Smoky Quartz – this is an amazing stone for grounding, leaving behind baggage and surrendering. Stone Canyon Jasper – is known as the ‘supreme nurturer’. It bestows a feeling of tranquillity and integrity, by providing warmth, nourishment, and protection. Amethyst – aids in healing and intense spiritual growth.

The flowers are lovely Bachelor Buttons and Poppy petals.

Let’s settle, yes? Just breathe nice and slow, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Allow your shoulders to gently drop and nestle along your spine, like gorgeous wings at rest. Breathe into the corners of your belly and down to your toes. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper to you, inviting you to “see” them.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a peek!

TWO KITTENS

This magickal being is holding tight to two beautiful cats; both of them offer her growth in her femininity, independence, and satisfaction on many levels. Both of them are very young, very tender. She feels nurturing and protective toward them both. “How can I put one down?” she asks, torn. She is being asked to choose between the two, to separate one thing from another, and she is shocked that she must make this choice. When this comes to you, tune in. Ask yourself, your body, what it wants to do. Make a decision. You can no longer go on at this point attempting to walk in two directions at once. And that which you most fear – causing pain – will not happen when you choose. Cats are about your independence, your ability to leap high and to make it through many tricky situations. Choose. Choose now.

So are you having trouble making an important decision? You can’t see which one to choose? Which way to go? Both seem equally good or equally flawed? Hmmmm. We have come to show you the difference between two choices. You know you can take only one road at this time, and you know you must trust that that which you leave behind – that which you are telling yourself you are abandoning – will be safe and cared for. You will make it through this choice without feeling agonies of guilt. You will. The Universe trusts you to make the right choice! Feel it – you can now choose between seemingly indivisible ways. There will be a solution to this impossible situation.

For now, put one thing down and choose the other, or no real growth can take place.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

You are changing the way you view yourself and speaking up and out. Others see you as an advocate for justice and fair play. You defend others by being who you are, simply by refusing to hide away or be fearful. By waking up every day, despite hardships, you are showing so many the way to live. You have made friends with your strength, and while people have mistaken you for a pushover, you know when the time comes that you are a strong person who cannot be stopped.

Like a wolf, you have fur and claws, and brothers and sisters who will help you if you only so much as call on their energy. But to find them, you must connect with the wolf within. It is time to travel on a new path, crossing a wood that seems empty and cold, but you will not be alone or as helpless as others seem to think you will be. You are not prey. You will have strong and unconventional allies. Like a wolf, you must be prepared to defend yourself, even if it means facing a fight. There is time to stand your ground and face the enemy. That time has come, brave one.

As little Red Riding Hood says – once I was hunted. I do no not hunt in return, but watch. And I am strong. I am myself, and I am proud of who I am. No one can harm me now that I have this knowledge, and with my mystic familiar – my lone wolf – by my side, I continue to walk my path. While I have lost some of my innocence, I have my life, my strength, my voice, my ability to stay myself no matter what others do or sy. I will no be a victim. I am not a victim. I am alive. And I will never give up.

THE FAERY BEE

A bee appearing in the beautiful natural world is a wonderful sign that true health is being restored to you. Bees speak of timeless wisdom – as in the ancient proverb “Ask the wild bee what the Druids know” – and are adept at creating shapes, patterns and, of course, honey, which provides food, sweetness, a natural antiseptic, and air-ionizing healthful wax, and can be made into med. It is also said that after completing the ritual of the labyrinth in ancient Crete, the priestesses of Ariadne offered the initiates honeycomb to celebrate and acknowledge that all their needs would be met from that time forth. Bee can symbolise abundance, but, most importantly, it symbolises that all you need is being provided – and love is sure to come.

You ask me where the honey is, where the sweetness of life, the ease of life is? You wonder where the casual health and robust days have gone, and where the bright flowers and the sunshine have vanished to? No one took these things from you. You denied yourself your own needs and pleasures. I am here at all times, yet you have turned away from the natural world. For you to bring back its sweetness, you must spend time with flowers, ones that blossom generously – flowers of the plant kingdom and flowers of the human kind.

You have spent too much time among the bare-branched ones, who have told you that you will never acquire the luxury of feeling safe and comforted, but I am here to share that living life sweetly is as simple for you now as being outside in the sunshine for a few moments every day. The flowers will bloom; the bees will come back; your joy and delight will return.

Wowzers! Choice, Speaking Up and giving yourself the gifts of delights! All super strong messages in this month of All About Balance. How did your card resonate for you? Well, delicious lovely, have a fabulous week, don’t forget the Blood Flower Moon Eclipse this weekend. Wishing you spring flowers, warm showers, ease, effortlessness and flow and most importantly peace and laughter. Huge hugs and squeezes, see you next week.

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.

Ready to go see?

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!

February 27th Weekly Reading and New Moon

Jenny Heston · 4:48 pm ·

Happy glorious Monday delicious one! Did you celebrate the New Moon last night? It was a gorgeous New Moon in Pisces with a solar eclipse. I personally took a bit of time and space, lit a candle, had some lovely music playing and wrote out my New Moon wishes. If you have no clue as to how to do such a thing, then check out this post on 10 steps to writing kick arse New Moon wishes! It’s a great way to harness the manifestation power and plant the seeds of new creations, or strengthen the desire for ongoing ones.

The cards that really wanted to come and play this week are a beautiful deck called Wild Kuan Yin Oracle. The art work is stupendous and has a very Tibetan feel to it, also the imagery of a wild Kuan Yin, a rebellious, playful, free being, really resonated with me this week. So in honour of that, the reading was done on a gorgeous white silk Tibetan prayer scarf that my brother brought back from his month long retreat and it is lightly embossed with mandalas that say “Om Mani Padme Hum.” Yum!!!

So let’s go see shall we what is calling to you or coming into your sphere of awareness this week. There is a visualisation if you want to take a few moments to get still.

Ready? So take a luscious deep breath and pick the card that calls to you.

Let’s go see, shall we?

TENDER TRUST, BELOVED BODY
I have so much that I want for you. I want you to experience all that life has to offer. I want you to see your dreams coming alive in the world. I want you to feel at home here upon earth, and to realise you have come here not only to serve, but to take delight, to become alive, to exercise your power of choice to manifest a destiny that is brilliant and beautiful and perfectly suited to you. So I have given you a sacred animal, a devoted body that has offered its entire life in service to your soul growth. This is a precious gift and one worthy of respect. When you love this sacred animal, and let him/her love you in return, your body and soul become as one, a divine wild love child of life.

The Divine Mother is bringing you something special – it may be an experience, a relationship, a spiritual or material gift, an opportunity, or any combination of these things. If you have been wondering if something you have dreamed of can come to life, can be made manifest in the physical world Yes! Be present to recognise and receive the gifts and opportunities that are rightfully yours. Take time to be open and connected to your physical body and the physical reality you can experience through being connected to your body. Look around you. Feel what is happening within you and around you too.

You are at a point on your journey where something in the spiritual realms wants to come to life in the physical world. There is an inspiration, idea or plan that is ready to take form, to take shape, to become more than a fantasy and become a living reality. Your body is like a holy instrument through which the sacred breath can flow and create sound. It is the vehicle through which the inspiration can become a manifest reality.

If you have struggled with body image, eating or health concerns, a resolution will come. You need to heal the relationship between you and your body so your dreams can manifest more often and with greater pleasure on your part. Why not give up trying to punish, push or force your body, or control and dominate her with your mind. Explore and find a way to relate to your body as a friend. Your body loves you.

THE SLAVE DANCES INTO FREEDOM
I overcome restraint, imprisonment and conflict with a greater power, that of love. You have been on a path that no longer serves your highest good. Whether you believe you have chosen that path or it seems to have taken on a life of its own through habit and momentum, the time has come for you to be free from it. I shall free you from the negative influence of even the most persistent struggle or devastating conditions with one simple gesture. Do not be attached to the war you have endured, my beloved wild warrior. It is over by my grace. You are enslaved no longer. It is your time to step forwards, you are granted a free pass by the hand of grace and a new reality of freedom is yours. Feel no guilt or fear over this. It is your time to dance from slavery into freedom. Others will join you when their time comes. No longer are you required to go into battle. Come join my joyful dance of freedom.

No matter what the circumstances may be, or whether you think something should be ending now, the higher truth is that you have been granted honourable discharge for karmic duty completed. Soon you will be experiencing life in a completely different way, free from a legacy of darkness that once held you down, trapped in conflict that perhaps even became bitter, disheartening and draining. This taste of freedom bestowed shall not only be sweet, it shall be utter and complete. It indicates nothing but a complete and clean ending and fresh new start in an entirely upgraded field of consciousness where enslavement is replaced with freedom.

The Divine loves your fighting spirit, but you are to be protected from a too-long battle that you have been involved in or even waging that could poison your beautiful heart with bitterness leaving you depleted. Instead, it is recognised that you are in need of solace, sweetness and a sense of purposeful passion that does not dry you out, but fills you and allows you to offer healing to the world rather than trying to bend the world to your will.

For now, focus on you. It may be that your thriving beyond the war zone becomes an inspiration that empowers others to make similar choices. So accept this gift for yourself without condition. Your release is unconditional. You don’t have to do anything to earn it or grab it or hold it. It is given – now.

SISTER OF SHAMBHALA SHOWS THE WAY
You have many brothers and sisters who are guiding you now. They understand where you are at on your divine path and the way to successfully navigate all matters of concern, so that you can cross the threshold from the old world to the golden temple. Your prayers for your purpose, to be revealed and to manifest, have been heard as have your prayers for help in all matters, and you shall be shown the way through, supported, every step of the way.

Every human being has a divine life purpose. This may manifest as a particular vocation to fulfill, but even the most soul-satisfying work will only be a part of that divine purpose. The purpose itself is to master particular lessons so that you can grow at a soul level, each being taking a step towards greater wholeness according to the wisdom of one’s own soul. There is no wisdom in comparing your own path, or appearance of success, to that of another.

You are being given a nudge on your soul path. It is either a step to be taken, a prayer to be said, or belief to be had, and comfort – even in the face of an apparently great challenge – that a path will open up for you, even though you will need to trust in the timing of this and the way it happens. You are being given affirmation that the path you are on is being drawn into alignment with the divine plan for your life by the loving assistance of these great beings. You are also being asked to learn to rely more upon your team of spiritual guidance for assistance.

If there is any matter with which you have reached a dead end – perhaps through trying to figure out a way to make something work, to resolve a relationship, a habit or anything at all really, no matter how hugely significant or small but persistently demanding of your attention. This matter needs to be sorted out a spiritual level. Spiritual adjustments are sometimes needed. It is just the way of things, and you have been given assurance that the brothers and sisters of light who can help you in this process will do so. Trust them, trust yourself to ask.

Wishing you an absolutely delicious week filled with ease, effortlessness and flow – oh yes and yummy cupcakes!

Miracles

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

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

This is a Blood Moon Eclipse in Scorpio – so what does that mean?

Hmmmm, I don’t know about you but I feel that as a collective we need to shed quite a few things. Don’t you?
