October energy

Belonging in the Season of the Otherworld

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

We’ve stepped across a threshold, love.
We’re officially in the season of the Otherworld. 🍂

The winds of autumn are carrying whispers from the unseen realm, and this month’s reading comes as a balm for the nervous system with one clear, steady message:

You belong.

No matter what chaos is blowing in from the outer world right now, the message for October is simple and profound—we can create stone circles of stability within ourselves.

Anchors in times of change.

Places where we remember: we are heard, we are held, we are not alone.

Why Autumn Feels Different

The ancient Celts knew this. They felt autumn as the richest time of year to connect with the unseen. The veil thins, the harvest comes in, and the visible world above ground begins to retreat back into the earth. That’s when the Otherworld rises closer—full of healing, creativity, and possibility.

And haven’t you felt it? That subtle shift? The way dreams turn wilder, intuitions grow sharper, and sometimes your ancestors seem to slip into the room beside you?

Autumn holds both withering and abundance. It asks us to gather in what has ripened and to let go of what no longer serves. It carries loss and it carries possibility.

It is an initiation into your own mythical unfolding.

Creating Your Stone Circle

When I think of this season, I think of stone circles—ritual places built at thresholds, aligned with the solstices, equinoxes, and stars. They were meant to hold people steady through great change.

This month’s invitation is to create your own “stone circle.”
✨ Maybe it’s a quiet corner in your home that you return to each week.
✨ Maybe it’s time set aside for meditation, journaling, or walking in nature.
✨ Maybe it’s a candle lit every evening, marking your center.

Whatever it looks like for you, let it be your anchor. A place where you can step back into your inner world, reconnect with your own center, and remember your belonging.

Because here’s the truth: if you are not at the center of your own world, your world has no center. Autumn is reminding you now—it’s safe to take that place. It’s necessary.

The Thinning of the Veil

October always carries huge gifts, messages and visions for me.

Ancestors show up in my dreams, insights arrive unannounced, new pathways open.

And I want you to be open to that too.

Yes, the outer world may feel chaotic this month.

But inside, through your anchor points, you can connect to something steady and luminous. Think of it as touching into rainbows underground while the storm rages above.

This is the balance of autumn—the seen world fading, the unseen rising.

And in that balance, your soul expands.

The Aries Super Full Moon – October 7

This Full Moon is like an exhale after the intensity of the eclipses. It’s asking: What are you ready to let go of? What has served its time?

Because it’s the first Full Moon since Equinox, it also brings to fruition intentions seeded back in March. Something you began earlier this year may now come to harvest—or return for another layer of learning.

And, by just a day, this moon is the Harvest Moon. It invites you to gather what this year has given you—not only food or things, but the wisdom, the lessons, the growth.

Even as baskets fill, the withering begins. And that’s the deeper teaching: endings are not failures, they are the natural turn toward rest.

Walking with the Ancestors

As we move toward Samhain, ancestry is alive in the air. The same moonlight that shines on your face once touched those who walked before you.

Their presence is woven into this season, reminding us that we belong to something larger, older, and enduring.

So this October, build your stone circle. Touch into your center. Let yourself belong—to yourself, to your ancestors, to this living, breathing world.

Because you are not walking this season alone.
You are heard.
You are held.
✨ You belong.

So with all that being shared and said. Take a breath, see a glorious stone circle that welcomes you and then pick the card or cards that whisper.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

HOWL WITH FIERCENESS

Wolves, like women, have been regulated to the dangerous side of wildlife.

Both species are greatly misunderstood and often accused of menace.

Yet women, like wolves, possess a propensity for courage in the face of danger, strength in the quest for well-being, and loyalty to mate and tribe.

When we are no longer willing to shame ourselves for our natural fierceness, or condemn ourselves (or others) for the need to love and hunt and roam free, Wild Woman rises.

What do you need to be fierce about?

Are you willing to let it out?

If you are choking down your words to “fit in” and call it a life, you are being invited to tap into your wolf energy.

GATHER YOUR TRIBE

They say your vibe attracts your tribe, and nothing brings them to you more swiftly than when you’re willing to be clear about who you are and what you want and why you want it.

No more people pleasing to make others happy.

If you have to contort and compromise, they’re not your people.

When we allow and attract versus contort and demand, we gather the lost pieces of ourselves together and Wild Woman rises.

Where is the box feeling a tad tight?

Where are you not using your authentic, delicious soul voice?

CHAMPION PEACE

Your mind is a temple where peace yearns to be worshipped.

It’s easy to respond to war with war, especially within ourselves.

One judgemental thought leads to another and soon your mind is a battle zone.

But peace and war cannot rule simultaneously.  

You get to choose who will rule the mind’s temple.

Right now you’re being invited to become an advocate of peace.

When we choose love over fear and peace over war, Wild Woman rises.

Do you fill your mind with the news, hate the divisiveness and allow it to take hold?

Where do you let yourself in your mind and body walk in love and peace?

Oh my golly goodness!  You seriously can’t make this shit up!  What perfect guides for this time!!!  So my gorgeous one, I wish for you a week where you invite in the stone circle, create your anchor points and allow yourself to breathe in your ancestors, whether of blood or choice – and start to listen to their guidance.

Sending you massive hugs and squeezes!

October is Here, The Energy has Changed, Full Moon in Aries and the Eclipse portal opens!

Jenny Heston · 1:11 pm ·

Hello most gorgeous lovely – Happy Magickal, Miraculous, Moodling, Merry, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!  The first Monday of October!!

I don’t know about you but it felt as if September just went zipping by, I put that down to the fact that in my family we are in the birthday season.  Yes I did say season. 

We had 5 birthdays to celebrate in September (including mine and thank you all for your lovely birthday wishes) and from now until Winter Solstice we have another 9 to celebrate!  

So snuggle up honey, grab a cuppa and let’s natter as we have lots to explore this week!  We have an energy shift, a glorious Full Moon in Aries this weekend and the Eclipse portal doth open!

But what does that mean for you? Lots!

With moving into October (one of my favorite months) as I love Samhain (Halloween), the veil thinning and the honoring of the ancestors, we have had a huge energy shift.  Many of you have written asking for tools and help as the energy is feeling quite off the wall and at times overwhelming.  Which I totally understand.  

In fact the other day I was very aware that the energy felt sharp and it was as if everything was very loud and too bright – so this is where self care tools and energetic tools come into play in a big way..

As Lena shares:

The main theme for October is: “Tumultuous Transitions”.

“October is a potentially stressful month where patience, acceptance and flexibility are needed to navigate it well. We are being pushed up against the wall of our own internal process of change and there is nowhere else to hide from what needs to be released, healed and transformed. 

There will be cranky times where you feel pulled to go back inside, be alone and in your process. And there will be times where you feel a push to get out in the world and jumpstart your next chapter. 

The energy is up and down, tricky and erratic, with the potential for disruption. However there will also be times of magic, beauty, cooperation and support.

The responsibility and discipline this month will be to manage your energy in a way that uses it for positive change, personal evolution and necessary reorganization instead of being quick to anger, blame and negative reactions. 

Make kindness a daily practice and take care of the relationships you value.”

So what can you put in place that will nourish you and support you this month?  What daily practice do you work with to clear your energy and the sharp bits?

This coming Sunday (October 9th), is the glorious Full Moon in Aries, also known as The Hunter Moon.  

The Hunter Moon is focused on internal work and self-reflection. 

We now begin the dark half of the year; accept and welcome the darkness with open arms and spirit.

Take a moment to look back in history at your ancestors and the lessons they can teach you. Before industrialism, people focused on harvesting and preparing for the coming of Winter.

Failure to do so meant facing one’s own death or mortality.

You can feel the magical energy in the air right now as we head toward Samhain, and the veil grows thin. 

This increases your ability to communicate with your ancestors or loved ones. It’s an opportunity for spiritual growth, goal setting, gratitude, and finding ways to slow down and enjoy the season of Autumn.

It’s also a Healing Moon however, this isn’t healing that comes in a nice tidy package, this is the healing that comes when you hit the place of surrender.  Which is the perfect time to invite the wisdom, support and love of your ancestral team to come work with you, or to heal and release any ancestral wounds you may be packing around.  

Chiron, coupled with the Aries lunar energy, promises healing, not from trying to fix, control, or force, but from surrender. When we surrender, it gives rise to acceptance, to letting go, to forgiveness, and opens us to the possibilities that those states can create.

And I know for many people the word “surrender” is so tough to embrace, however, it is an incredibly powerful thing to do.  

So do you see how the energy of the month and the Full Moon energy are tying together?

Then later in the month we open up the second Eclipse Portal of the year.  This is a time of significant acceleration of the collective and individual evolutionary pace. That in turn will open new doors and bring fated changes in our lives.

However, we will explore that later this month, as with the Full Moon energy it’s time to do some clearing and healing and embrace the energy of this month so that when Eclipse time comes you are feeling open, accepting, and supported.

Yes?

Okay, if you have read this far, let’s crack on with the reading.  Lol.  

When I went to the glorious cards and asked who wanted to guide and support you this week I was delighted to see  The Oracle of the Shapeshifters.  As we are all shapeshifting in some shape or form right now.

If these glorious guides are new to you, let me please introduce them (as that is the polite thing to do)!  “These are the magickal familiars, once the companions of shamans, witches, wizards, and wise ones – and now they are here for you.  Now is the time for you to undertake a great quest – to rebirth yourself within this lifetime and this quest of evolution does not need to be faced alone.  

We change and we change again.  We fear change.  Yet it comes.  For us to fear change is as foolish as winter crying for the coming of spring.  Change is.  Fear corrupts.  

These guides are here to support, encourage and help you through transformation and to teach you to let go of fear.  True , deep change must take place for you to fulfill your soul contract.  

You may have turned from possibility to what you have convinced yourself is probable:  You diminish your possible self, reduce who you are, and dilute your spirit.  But even when you have sought to remain invisible and hidden away, and said  yes to everyone else, life will find you – and transform you.  You are never alone with these beings.”

Oh my giddy Aunt, the perfect guides for this week!  So there we have it, are you ready?

Okay my darling, take a moment to breathe yourself here.  Hold your hand up to your heart level with the palms facing up to the sky.  See golden light being poured into them from the Divine and entering your heart and flooding through every cell of your body.  

Stay here a moment and just breathe that in.  

Then when you are ready, ask your wise self, your divine self, what do you need to know this week to support you in working with the energies of this month.  Then pick the card or cards that resonate for you.  

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

ORCA MAGICK

Orcas are the brilliant, physical, living reservoirs of Earth and galactic history.  They are the carriers of wizards on their backs, according to Norse myth, meaning they carry the great sage lines of transformation and transmutation, and can pass this lore along.  They hold this history in the patterns of their ancient songs.  

One day we will translate the songs and understand our own past times.  Their bodies, those huge, resonating cavities, store the history of the planet herself.  They travel the world’s oceans, singing, clearing, and awakening the energy grid again and again, preserving, reviving, renewing ancestral lines that need to be in place for this planet to be whole and well, now and in the future.  

Earth is currently undergoing a vast initiation.  Some have called this an ascension, although what it truly is has nothing to do with high or low, but with an integration of more dimensions, fully awakening your DNA and charging your auric field to a more powerful capacity.  Healing, materialising into new forms, and creating will be greatly enhanced at this time.  

You are a keeper of galactic mysteries and you have a strong starperson connection.  Starpeople are connected to the growing need to connect to the galactic web, which we are a vital part of.  It is time to take yourself outside and gaze up into the night sky.  Learn about the constellations you can view from your home.  Tune in to the worlds beyond this world, and ask that they connect with you in healthful ways.  

Whales can assist with intergalactic travel (without physically leaving the planet), seal and repair any wounds or tears in your energy field, and return to you the parts of your soul that you may be unaware are even missing.  

A TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

A time to say goodbye will help you to let go, even though it hurts a lot.  This is now out of your hands; you have to say goodbye at this time. 

Be active in this ending when this card comes to you.  Be brave; think about how you can best take care of yourself at this time, and show the other person how much you care.  Don’t ignore or shun them.  Rather, let this person know what they have meant to you, wish them well on the next stage of their life journey, and let….them…go! 

There may be great sadness in doing so, but you will grow so much because you have chosen the better way to deal with this sad situation.  This other person has learned how to detach and stay detached.  He asks that you do not ask for him to return, to stay, or to cling. 

Be strong because you need to be dignified, and believe that something better is coming.  Because that is the truth.  Something better is coming.  So open your arms, and let him be free, as he has learned to be. 

You may be reluctant to see an ending – you may wish to extend the time you have with someone, or you may even feel like you are being cheated out of something you deserve. 

But the truth is that things must die in order to be reborn in another form at a later time.  This is the chosen time to go, and from the ashes, something new will arise, and it will be even better than you can imagine. 

Rebirth cannot take place without a death – and it is now time to end something, to let something both externally and internally die. 

It may be a long-held belief, a place that seemed to hold security, a friendship that has grown unhealthy, someone you’ve been going out with who no longer wishes to see you, or a beloved family member who may not be in this world much longer.  Whatever it is, let it – let them – go! 

Something else will return to you.  And you cannot be reborn unless you first know how to die.  This is your chance to learn something very profound, deep, and important.  Do not miss it by resisting what must take place.   

SNOW WHITE AND HER ANIMAL FRIENDS

You are loved and trusted.  Even the small ones of the forest gather with you after times of great unrest, when they feel they cannot find another trustworthy human to be with.  You have the energy of the gentle ones, and thus the small ones, the vulnerable ones like us, come to you – not to take, but to show you how trusted you are.

It is not a burden; it is a great honour.  Rarely do we show ourselves, but to you, we come and lay our heads in your lap.  There is such an air about you.  You are a safe, good person.

It is time for you to step up and protect others who are smaller and more fragile than  you.  This may be a reversal in roles for you, but the deer and the hare and the quiet, soft ones have chosen you because they trust that you can do this job.  

You may beel an unlikely hero, and you may experience a completely unforeseen victory.  But you can do it.  You must take great steps now to live up to this honour and trust.  It will be simple for you while you remain in the forest, but when you venture out into the world once again, will you make choices that support?

Make a commitment to protect .

Something you wished for will be given up, for now, so you can do something for the good of others.

But your energy will change as a result, and that will bring to you your deepest dreams and desires, purified and at the perfect time.  

Oh my Goddess, you seriously can not make this shit up!  Wishing you a glorious two weeks (as it is Thanksgiving here on the Full Moon).  Practice surrendering, and remember to celebrate the Full Moon.  If you are part of the email community there will be some guidance coming out later this week.  Big hugs and squeezes and be kind to your glorious self.

Well said sir! And the only people that will be u Well said sir!

And the only people that will be upset by this post are men.

Original text spoken by 👉 @lavishmack 👈
Here we go loves, tomorrow brings our once-in-a-bl Here we go loves, tomorrow brings our once-in-a-blue-moon moment. 🌕🩵

This Sagittarius full blue moon is bringing a cosmic green light for growth, expansion and taking the leap into the known (and unknown). 

It’s here to free you from the confines of your comfort zone, illuminate the beliefs and fears that have kept you small, and call you towards the fullest and truest expansion of yourself.

You may already be feeling the restlessness building. A feeling that something needs to change. That you’ve outgrown certain parts of your life, limiting thoughts, old stories or ways of being that no longer fit the version of you you’re becoming.

This moon wants you to stop waiting for some imaginary future and begin taking steps towards the life your heart and soul truly yearn for now.

You’ll know deep down where you’re being called to go and what you’re being called to do and yes, it may feel big. But your soul wouldn’t call you into it if you weren’t ready.

This is your once-in-a-blue-moon moment to believe in yourself, stretch beyond what feels comfortable, trust your path and take the leap.

Just like the Sagittarius archer, draw back your bow, take aim for what you want and go for it.

The Taurus new moon is a powerful reminder that we The Taurus new moon is a powerful reminder that we cannot hear the guidance or receive and anchor in the new energies and frequencies coming in when we are in a state of dysregulation or high alert.

The world is getting quicker and louder, and many of us are being pulled in too many different directions by too many different demands on our time, energy and attention, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, overloaded and agitated.

This moon is asking us to consciously slow down, unplug from the noise of the outside world and take back our attention from anywhere it’s scattered. Because when our attention is scattered, our power and awareness leak, making it easier to feel lost, uncertain and disconnected from ourselves.

This moon is asking us to root deeply into ourselves, regulate our nervous systems and reconnect to our own wisdom, because only from a grounded and rooted place can we truly receive and anchor in the new frequencies and possibilities trying to come through. 

How are you being called to slow down and reconnect to yourself under this moon?

Tiny flower cups for the bees because the fountain Tiny flower cups for the bees because the fountain water was too strong and some were drowning. 🥺🐝

Without bees we have nothing.
No flowers.
No food.
No Spring magic.

So this is your reminder to leave water out, plant flowers and protect the tiny wild things. They are holding the world together. 🌼✨

Be nice and agreeable. Don’t make people uncomfortable...even if it means you are.

Bealtaine blessings! 🌸🌿🧚🏼 In the Celtic lands, the Bealtaine blessings! 🌸🌿🧚🏼 In the Celtic lands, the ancient festival of Bealtaine marks the start of the summer season.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Traditionally Bealtaine did not have a fixed date, though it has come to be celebrated by many in modern times on the first of May (and here in Ireland, this week has indeed very much felt like our first glimpse of summer).⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
At this time of year we celebrate the greening, fertility, and abundance of the natural world. The land is bursting with life all around us, renewed from the long sleep of winter.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Much like the festival of Samhain, which sits opposite from Bealtaine on the ever-turning wheel of the year, this is a liminal time when the veil between our physical realm and the spiritual Otherworld thins.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
It is said here in Ireland that the Sídhe, the fairy folk, are more likely pass through the fairy forts, ancient burial mounds, and other “thin places” at this time of year (and folks who wander near these places may likewise find themselves wandering into the Otherworld).⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Many of the rituals performed during this festival are protective in nature.⁣ Perhaps the most time-honored of these rites is the Bealtaine bonfire 🔥 ⁣If you are unable to light a large fire, candle magic is a good option as well.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This energy makes Bealtaine a potent time for spirit work, hedge crossing (i.e. trance journeying), and divination. ⁣Similarly, you may have noticed your dreams becoming more vivid, or you might even experience prophetic or lucid dreams. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
In my own practice, getting out onto the land to connect with the local spirits is one of the most important aspects of this day.⁣ I gather herbs and flowers, have a picnic, sing, dance, and share offerings with the local spirits of place 🌀
