Omen days

How to Close 2025 with Ritual, Reflection and Deep Knowing.

Dear Gorgeous Soul,

Go on, make yourself a large cuppa of something warm and a little magickal, because we have so much to chat about this week. Are you ready? Settled? Cosy? Good. Let’s begin.

We are standing at a truly potent crossroads.

The very last New Moon of 2025 arrives this Friday, the 19th.

Solstice — which I friggin’ love — is racing toward us with her golden-dark mystery.

The Omen Days journey is open (and oh, I hope you’ll join us — it’s a genuine game-changer when it comes to putting a year to bed and consciously calling in the next… just ask the last 250 people who travelled it with us 😏).

Add in Personal Theme Readings, and the Book of Winter Solstice, which is my heartfelt Solstice gift to you for being such a magnificent bean, and well… you can feel how thick the magic is in the air.

So where do we begin?

I’m starting exactly where my bones insist we do — with The Omen Days, also known as the Sacred Days or Yuletide.

These luminous days stretch from Boxing Day through to January 6th. And yes, this is where the “12 Days of Christmas” comes from — a little cultural borrowing from something far older and wiser.

Historically, these days existed to bring the Roman calendar back into alignment with the solar year. Energetically, though, they are something far more delicious.

They are considered time out of time, a liminal pause where the usual rules soften and we slip between worlds. It’s as though we step outside the calendar altogether.

And if you pause for a moment, you’ll notice that our modern culture still feels this.

That strange, floaty stretch between Christmas and the New Year — when time feels bendy, when we’re neither fully here nor there, half dreaming and half emerging. That’s not accidental.

That’s the doorway.

This is where the real magic of closing a year happens. This is where 2025 is gently alchemised, and the seeds of 2026 are quietly planted.

This is why I created the Omen Days journey — a rich, nourishing experience filled with ritual, reflection, community, and warmth.

It’s an invitation to release the tired idea of New Year’s resolutions and instead close the year in a way you can actually feel — in your bones, your body, your cells.

One that stirs ancient memory and deep knowing. I would love for you to experience that.

Registration is open until December 22nd (and we also gather together for Solstice this coming weekend), and the timing could not be more perfect — because it flows straight into what’s happening in the sky.

The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19th is the final New Moon of 2025.

It’s believed that the heart of our Milky Way galaxy rests at 27 degrees of Sagittarius, and this New Moon activates 28 degrees — a cosmic threshold if ever there was one.

A powerful way to close the year.

New Moons are portals. They are invitations to turn inward, to recalibrate, to listen for new inspiration. Under a New Moon, insights arrive quietly, intentions take shape, and new directions begin to whisper.

With the Galactic Centre activated, the energy of this New Moon feels wide, expansive, and full of possibility. It reminds us that we are not stuck. We are not limited. We do not have to stay where we are if it no longer fits. We can simply lift our arrow… and aim it somewhere new.

So ask yourself gently: what is no longer yours to carry? What belongs in the ashes of 2025? What are you ready to release with compassion, forgiveness, and grace?

And then dream.

If you weren’t afraid — of failing or succeeding — if judgment vanished and you knew you’d be supported, where would your heart lead you?

Can you feel how this weaves straight into the Omen Days? How these energies invite you to close the year with intention, tenderness, and awareness — rather than rushing headlong into the next?

And yes, this is also where Personal Theme Readings come in.

I like to call them Opening the Doors to 2026. Rather than me waxing lyrical here (and testing your patience), you can wander over and see if one calls to you. Spaces are limited, so if you feel the nudge, listen.

Alright, beautiful one — that was a lot to receive, and I hope you felt it land rather than skim past.

Now… let’s crack on with the reading. ✨

Okay so when I asked my glorious giddy guides who they wanted to play with this week. I was a tad surprised!

Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as not to do so would be rude!)

At the edge of the mind awaits the holy wilderness of the soul.

It beckons you, like a great forest filled with vast mysteries and wonders. While this mystical realm exists in a higher dimension, beyond normal reality, it is real nevertheless. To enter this mystical realm, it’s simply a matter of having an open heart and an open mind.

In this healing and holy place, long-sought answers to your deepest questions become known. Ancient wisdom emerges. Revelations about your future are revealed. Hidden talents and abilities are activated with you. It’s a place where miracles unfold, and your spirit can fly.

In the deepest sense you remember who you are.

Okay gorgeous bean, here we are with the holiday season rapidly approaching, and yet the place of Solstice. The longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

The place of release and moving into the warm, feminine darkness that nurtures and supports. I invite you to take a long, deep, luxurious breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. Let your face relax, your jaw relax and the worries of the day drop to the floor like soft gentle rain drops or snowflakes.

Then I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a glorious warm dark night sky, you feel safe, you feel supported and held and as the clouds pull away you see stars that will guide you. Breathe that in. Allow this gorgeous Feminine Darkness to gently wrap around you and guide you and then when you are ready pick a card or cards that call to you.

You picked yes?

Shall we go see?

DAFFODIL FAIRY

New Beginnings

You feel a tap on your shoulder, and in a flash of yellow, you see a Daffodil Fairy fly by you. In a high, sweet voice she says, “The best is yet to be! It’s time for a new beginning!” With glee, you race after her into the forest.

Life goes in cycles. Just as spring follows winter, a new cycle is beginning in your life. In the phases of the earth, the plants die in the fall so that there can be new birth in the spring – it’s the universal dance of death and rebirth. There’s a time to end and begin, and this is the close of one cycle and the beginning of another.

We associate the daffodil with spring, as it is one of the first flowers to emerge after the snows. Its shape echoes the feeling of trumpeting in the new season; its colour suggests vitality, radiance, and sunshine.

It’s time to wipe the slate clean; it’s time to release the old and start again.

It can be difficult to release familiar routines, situations, or relationships when they no longer empower you; however, your higher self encourages you to not cling to the old, but set sail into new waters. If you find yourself afraid to let go, you are urged to face your fear and allow yourself to stretch in a new direction.

The Creatrix is at your side, and wonderful opportunities will be born in your life. Wholeness occurs when you can say yes to both endings and beginnings.

It’s time to start a new project or a new cycle. Life force and vitality are emerging. Release that which doesn’t serve and support you. Make way for a new start!

FOGGY BOG

Patience

The fog in the forest is so dense, you can’t see your hands in front of your face. You take a step forward; the soil is soft and spongy. You realise that you are standing in a bog and to go forward is to risk sinking deeper into the mud.

The best strategy is to be still and wait for the fog to lift.

Be quiet and still. The time is not right to go forward now.

It’s hard to see what lies ahead, and the truth of things may not be as they initially appear. Events that seem one way may, in fact, be completely different.

Just as the egret exhibits great patience as he waits for a fish to emerge, so too must you be still and allow the truth to emerge. In this state of obscured visibility, your imagination can surge forward and spark your intuition.

If you can wait long enough, your sixth sense will be ignited. Listen to your inner yearnings and pay attention to those seemingly random thoughts.

Water represents emotions, feelings, and the subconscious. When the water becomes condensed as fog, it obscures the true shape of things. We can’t see clearly the way we can in the light.

Don’t allow unexamined emotions to overwhelm your growth.

Have patience. Wait until the fog lifts before taking action. The truth will emerge in time; you just need to go deeper.

Follow your intuition.

GUARDIANS OF THE LAND

Protection

“You are safe.” These words seem to emerge from the land and radiate from the trees to echo in your soul. You hear these words again and again.

The Sacred Guardians of the Land are whispering to you, “You are safe.”

You know that you are protected and cared for. You can feel tendrils of their loving energy wrap around you and embrace you. Their unleashed power cocoons you in safety.

You are enough, just as you are. No matter what has happened or occurred in the past, the truth is that you are absolutely and unconditionally enough as you are.

You are loved. You are cherished.

Do not be concerned about outside forces and the judgements and expectations of others. You are protected in your own energy field. Envision a protective shield around yourself and around your home. Spend time with people and in situations that uplift your energy rather than draining it.

You are safe and surrounded by a glorious protective shield. You are not alone; your life is guided and protected by higher forces.

Within this knowing-ness you can soar to great heights. Breathe wee one. Trust.

Oh my giddy aunt! Those glorious beasts were delicious. How did they resonate for you?

So darling one, wishing you a week of ease, grace and flow. Don’t get tangled in any one else’s stuff, tinsel or lights. If it resonates for you to come join Omen Days – please do. If you want to find out your Personal Theme, please do. If you just want to be left the fuck alone and celebrate Solstice as you like – grab the Winter Solstice book.

See you next week.

What Does Peace Mean as We Spiral Toward Solstice?

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

How are you, truly? How did that Gemini Full Moon land in your body and your bones?

We’ve just moved through a windswept lunar peak — a dispersing, airy brightness that asked us to pause, listen, and gather ourselves before the final descent into the dark. We’re now in the waning half of the lunar cycle and the waning arc of the solar year, and both luminaries are whispering the same thing:
A long, slow exhale.

A softening into sacred wintering.

And this — this Sacred Wintering — is exactly why we walk the path of the Omen Days. Many of you have been eagerly asking about it, and I had hoped to release everything today. But with two sick adults and a sick toddler in my care, the universe had other plans.

So here’s the update:
The full Omen Days teaching, the signup page, and all you need to know will be arriving mid-week.

And alongside it?
The glorious Book of Winter — fondly known as Soul Season — will also be released.
She is rich, magical, layered, and ready to hold you through this deep and luminous time of year.

Quite a few of you reached out over the last week saying you felt scattered, overwhelmed, or completely “out of sorts.” A few even used the word “fucked”—and honestly, I felt that too. My own energy ricocheted from panic to anger to anxiety to “everyone leave me alone” to “wait, maybe don’t leave me entirely alone.” It was bizarre, disorienting, and very Mercury-meets-Gemini-in-the-dark-season coded.

Then, on the night of the Full Moon, I did the forgiveness ritual from Soul Season, and the peace that came flooding in was divine. Nourishing. Resetting.

The kind of peace that feels like your soul finally unclenches.

Which got me thinking about Peace itself. Not the fluffy, surface-level version, but the real, embodied, sensory experience. There’s a beautiful children’s book by Vladimir Radunsky where kids from around the world describe what peace feels like. Their answers are everything:

What does peace smell like?
Peace smells like a bouquet of flowers in a happy family’s living room, or pizza fresh from the oven.

What does peace look like?
It looks like a cat and a dog curled up together, or the soft glow of newborn babies.

What does peace sound like?
It sounds like a silent day. Raindrops falling. No bad words.

What does peace taste like?
It tastes like vanilla ice cream… or your favourite food times two.

What does peace feel like?
It feels like the hug you get when you cry. Someone stroking your back. A tiny shiver, but the good kind.

Kids tell the truth adults forget.

Seasonally, this past week aligned with the lighting of the Advent candle of Peace — connected to the plant realm: the roots, the stems, the leaves, the quiet green life that nourishes and heals us. I love this reminder: Peace is not theoretical. It’s embodied. It grows.

And of course, this all leads us directly toward Winter Solstice — my beloved threshold of the year. Solstice is that exquisite moment when the old cycle exhales and the new one inhales. I can feel it weeks ahead, humming under everything, asking us to reflect, to return inward, to listen.

This is the season that naturally brings forward the big questions:
Am I showing up the way I’m called to? Am I living the life that wants to live through me?

As Autumn falls away and Winter rises, we enter the realm of descent — emotion returning to form, water returning to earth, light sinking lower and lower. It’s the most inward, yin part of the year, even though our outer world demands noise, speed, and performance.

But your body knows better. It wants to rest. To replenish. To create slowly. To imagine softly. To hold Peace and Hope like warm stones in your pockets as you walk deeper into the dark.

So let me ask again, from the heart of this seasonal turning:
What does Peace mean to you?
And how can you carry it with you into Solstice?

Okay, with all that being said (sometimes I do chunter on!), let’s crack on with the reading.

Okay gorgeous one, settle into your body, breathe yourself back. As you gently slow down your breathing I invite you to bring up the sensation of Peace (whatever that means to you) and allow it to swirl in your mind’s eye. If you need a bit more support with Peace there’s a lovely little guided visualisation for you. Then, when you’re ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to go see?

BATH KOL

Eschew complicated explanations, as you seek the simplicity of the deepest truth of your heart. Gently but firmly cast aside that which does not resonate as being true for your heart. Focus upon, and speak from, a higher spiritual perspective. All prayers are answered at the perfect time and in the perfect way. You have a powerful voice, which can foster healing wisdom on our planet.

Bath Kol is a mysterious creature. She is an angel known as the divine oracle, the daughter of the divine voice, the pure and true sound of spirit. When she whispers to your heart, you feel it as an inner knowing, a truth. To honour that inner knowing likely requires the confrontation of fear or moving in unexpected directions.

Even so, the deep resonance of her truth is more powerful than the resistance we may initially feel as we let go of our limited perspectives and allow ourselves to be guided by Spirit.

Often an inner spiritual call requires a leap of faith. A more authentic, awakened you is coming to life. Paving the way for the higher self to manifest typically means that fear and control based approaches need to be surrendered. Honouring Bath Kols guidance requires courage but brings rich reward on many levels.

Acknowledge your true voice. This may be the voice in your own heart which needs to be heard without judgement or censorship. It may be an intuitive inner knowing to be recognised. It may be a loving and helpful voice of a reliable guide or friend whom you know can be trusted. It may be a teaching from a dream or an insight from a meditation, or even an inkling that certain happenings or sightings are signs from the Universe to help you on your life path.

Practise your power of discernment. Filter ego from heart. If a point of view lowers your vibration, makes you feel negatively about yourself or another, increases your confusion or makes matters seem more complicated, it is likely to be an ego-driven viewpoint. To consider what you might be able to learn from that viewpoint, you need to settle yourself on more authentic spiritual ground.

DVARA PATRA

Out of confusion, a clear and progressive pathway is opening up for you. It is an auspicious time to give generously of yourself to others, enriching the quality of your connections, expressing spiritual blessings of goodwill and encouragement from your heart. A powerful blessing is entering your world. A prayer is now being answered in a beautiful way. Spirit gives freely and generously of all the goods things, and the task of humanity is to learn how to receive. The key to receiving is an open, surrendered, generous and trusting heart.

The Holy Grail is the sacred chalice. It is a powerful, living, regenerative and deeply healing symbol of hope and blessing. It will interact with each soul in its own way. For your soul, that may involve a recognition that the light is always seeking you, wanting to fill and heal and bless and protect you, to initiate you into awareness of the realms of light, beauty and divine presence.

It may remind your heart to receive, that you are capable of being a channel for goodness, grace, abundance and pure light. It may be recognised as a sign of a future blessing, of something truly desired finally coming to pass.

The sacred grail is hope; it is a blessing. It is both a portent of fulfilment and the inner means by which we connect with the loving language of light and truly receive. In Sanskrit, patra means ‘goblet’ or ‘vessel.’ In learning how to receive, we also learn how to be received, how to be fully beheld, which is an expression of unconditional love. The sacred chalice reminds us of our potential to hold, but also for the generosity of the Universe in providing for us so we, too, can be held and receive all we need.

Dvara is Sanskrit for a pathway, an opening or portal, a doorway or even a means or method. Your deepest fulfilment is via the receptive faculty of the sacred feminine. The feminine way is organic, creative, responsive, spontaneous and effective. It is not constrained by our human perceptions of what is or is not possible.

To honour and empower the sacred feminine genius in our lives requires a considerable shift away from mainstream, conditioning and into spiritual surrender. Allowing her method, rather than blocking her loving creativity in our lives, entails the movement from head to heart.

As you invert your priorities from ego to soul, you’ll invert your locus of orientation from head to heart, from outer to inner reality. You will trust what your heart knows, whether or not it makes sense to your logical mind – or to anyone else’s for that matter.

YOGINI OF 285 Hz

Changes in your life, including closing doors or missed opportunities are not going to derail your fulfilment. Realignments are happening based on divine wisdom and timing. You are being diverted from unnecessary obstacles and suffering. Trust in how your life path is unfolding. Stay true to your authentic healing journey, because it is working, whether you realise that or not. Significant inner healing is taking place.

In numerous spiritual traditions of the East, such as those from Nepal, Tibet and India , the yogini is a female spiritual adept, a practitioner of deep yoga that awakens a powerful connection with one’s real inner being. The yogini holds space for healing and enlightenment, moving through obstacles and challenges with wisdom, patience, commitment and often great joy.

She is our spiritual sister, our sacred friend and our guide away from the bleak, erroneous thinking of ego into the softened, awakened, relaxed, gracious way of Spirit.

My darling you are on a powerful healing journey to connect body, mind and soul with the truth of your spiritual nature. You are working at an inner level to let go of past pains and open up to your empowerment and grace, dignity and legitimacy in the present moment. There is a spiritual approach to heal any and all struggles in your life.

If you feel disoriented or conflicted about a choice, trust that this chaos is a consequence of a cosmic realignment with your life path. Move through it with trust in your heart, patience and a willingness to keep the faith, knowing you will eventually find your way. The adjustments taking place within you will affect your outer world.

Just like the tumultuous alchemical journey of the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, your inner transformation shall shape you and your world into the beautiful, inspired, and authentic form it is meant to be.

And stay tuned, Gorgeous Soul — this mid-week brings the unveiling of Omen Days, the signup page, and your invitation into the radiant practice of winter divination.

Plus the release of Soul Season — the Book of Winter that has been waiting so patiently to meet you.

Let’s walk this descent with intention.
Let’s make it sacred.

Wishing you a glorious week of Peace my darling. Take a nice long slow deep breath!

When the World Screams “Buy!”… I Choose Blessed and Unbothered.

Jenny Heston · 2:02 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

December stepped in this morning with its quiet frost and instinctive hush, yet everywhere I turn, I’m met with a blizzard of flashing ads, shrill notifications, glossy promotions, and digital cajoling. Black Friday. Cyber Monday. Limited Offer. Last Chance.

The whole spectacle feels like an overcaffeinated carnival shouting into the marrow of my bones. I value prudence with money — of course — but this frantic devotion to “stuff-for-the-sake-of-stuff” makes my spirit recoil.

The clangour, the manufactured urgency, the relentless chorus of Buy now, buy fast, buy more — set against the trembling state of the world — feels entirely counter to the soul of this season.

You feel it too, don’t you?

That subtle trembling of your nervous system whispering, enough — enough scrolling, enough grasping, enough noise.

In these past weeks, I found myself caught in the undertow of “shoulds.” The invisible insistence to acquire, prepare, produce, impress. It felt like standing in a wind tunnel of expectations that were never mine to begin with.

Thus, through our family’s “birthday season” — that lively stretch from September to now — I decided to refuse the rote ritual of obligatory gifts. Instead, we crafted experiences together. One for each of the horde.

A dazzling West End London show — When God Was a Scottish Drag Queen — that left us breathless with laughter.
A decadent spa afternoon where we soaked our feet while seals tumbled through silvered waves.
A wildfire-fun improv night with two SNL greats that left us gasping.
A pottery session where clay-flecked hands shaped mugs and memories.
And this weekend — a family Celtic knot tattoo, ink looping our stories into skin.

This, to me, is the marrow of the season — a call toward slowness, toward gentleness, toward presence.

Yet everywhere around us the world hollers, “Hurry!”

With Winter Solstice drifting near, we stand at the cusp of the year’s deepest darkness — a liminal passage asking us to rest, rekindle our inner ember, and reacquaint ourselves with the softer rooms of our own being.

But here’s the quiet truth: most of us were never taught how to do that.

We were conditioned to barrel through winter. To dismiss the fatigue. To keep producing, performing, persevering. To pretend we’re fine even when our inner world is begging for a moment of stillness.

But our spirits yearn for something else — something tender, unhurried, unadorned.

Which is why Omen Days will return this year. (More on that next week.) The Omen Days offer a gentle, deep, restorative way for closing the year with grace, intention, and a glimpse into what 2026 is weaving.

And yes — I’ll be hosting a Solstice gathering to help us cross the threshold of the longest night with reverence and warmth.

On December 4th, we welcome the luminous Cold Moon.

This moon arrives like a lantern in the frost — aligned with Yuletide, humming with old magic.

Its teaching is ancient: rest, renewal, the quiet promise of beginnings wrapped inside endings. It marks the culmination of our journey around the sun, encouraging us to pause, to breathe, to soften.

It may feel counterintuitive to slow down when the world is screaming for speed, but remember: your worth has never lived inside your productivity.

Let the Cold Moon be your invitation to hibernate a little — to occupy your moments with presence, delight, and the small things that make your heart glow.

This is a season thick with transformation, inner excavation, and the sacred alchemy of becoming. A time to recharge, reconnect, and return to yourself and the ones you love.

Do you see how beautifully it all interlaces?

You are not separate from the seasons.

**You are the season — unfolding, deepening, shifting — just as nature does.**

So I am so tickled to see new guides wanting to come and chat with you this week. These gorgeous guides invite you to find out –What your soul wants you to know.

Okay my darling one, take a breath. Envision you are standing out in the dark, the brisk cold wind hits your cheeks and you light a candle. The flame flickers and dances with the night sky behind it. As you gaze at the flame, take a breath and allow yourself to rest and relax. Listen to the whispers of your Soul.

Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that make your Soul tickle.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s see what your Soul wants to share with you……

SIMPLICITY

Do what matters; and release the rest to find peace, grace and stillness.

Clear all the internal and external clutter!

Your soul wants you to know, one of the fastest ways to align with the tranquil vibration of the Creator/Creatrix/Divine – whatever name you use – is through simplicity.

A busy life and the accumulation of more than you need creates static; it can be difficult to hear the voice of Spirit when there’s mental chaos in your life.

Create time to rest and rejuvenate. Clear the clutter in your home, the files in your computer, and the drawers at work. (And I can see you rolling your eyes!)

Even a small amount of this cleansing can make an immense difference.

Create a feeling of simplicity, and know the grace of the Divine.

Repeat to yourself: Deep, Profound Serenity is Expanding in My Life.

PASSION

Follow your bliss! (Yeah I know you have heard that before, but……. It’s true).

Discover what you absolutely love to do or be, and then, like an arrow directed at its target, don’t let anything stop you from fulfilling your passion!

Your soul wants you to know – If you’re having difficulty discovering what you’re passionate about, go back into your childhood and remember what gave you joy then.

If you loved to dance as a child, sign up for a movement class. Better yet, put on music and dance your soxs off in the living room to your Soul’s delight.

If you adored crayons, pull out those colours and splash their bright hues from one side of the page to the other.

If you enjoyed observing insects in your backyard, maybe sign up for a nature study course.

Once you are clear on what you are passionate about, do whatever it takes to follow that – don’t wait until it’s too late.

Many people declare that they will follow their bliss when they retire or have extra time, and consequently they never experience the absolute exuberance of life.

If not now when? Live your life with passion! What are you waiting for?

Repeat to yourself: I passionately accept and love myself!

SILENCE

Can you be still and take the time to move into the silent place within yourself? That place which is your internal power source?

Your soul wants you to know – The world is super loud and often at the end of the day you flop into bed with all sorts swimming in your head. In silence you’ll find your sacred witness. It’s the dwelling place of your Soul.

Your Spirit loves the truth, and in peace you can seek and discover your truth.

If you are in pain, go into it until you find the source so it can be healed. Move past the bustle and chatter of life into sweet quietude, and surrender to stillness. Resist the temptation to indulge in feelings of overwhelm, urgency, and emergency.

Your power is born in silence.

Seek solitude to listen to the voice of your higher self and awaken your inner wisdom; this peace gives birth to your serenity.

Repeat to yourself – I am Serene, No Matter what is occurring around me.

Gorgeous one, allow yourself to move a bit more gently with yourself. Keep your eyes peeled for The Omen Days, you will love it and the Solstice gathering. Sending you massive hugs and warm soxs and tea!

The Practice of Presence and leaning into the Pause. Solstice is Coming!

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Meteoric, Meretricious, Moodling, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

How are you gorgeous one? I hope you are not getting your tinsel in a tangle or allowing your lights to get zapped as the holiday season approaches.

This week we are going to explore leaning into the Pause, that space that allows us to take a breath, reflect, just BE and BE open to inviting in something new, (which is all the various energies at this time!) But before we dive into that…….

First off, apologies as quite a few of you said you never received the invitation to the Omen Day’s Journey that went out last week. Most peculiar as some of you did receive it and others didn’t.

However, don’t fret pet, there is still time to join this year’s amazing Omen Day’s journey, as we have a gathering on Solstice to tap into that delicious energy and open the container, and then we start on December 26th.

So if you have been looking for a more meaningful way to close the year, and get insights into 2025, this is for you!

Yesterday we had the final Full Moon of 2024 in Gemini which was a huge (note that word) RELEASE Moon. And the interesting thing with this moon is we experienced a lunar rarity.

What do I mean? In other words we experienced a Major Lunar Standstill which only happens every 18.6 years.

This means that the moon rises and sets at its northernmost and southernmost positions on the horizon which creates this standstill energy as it is visible far longer than any of the other moons.

A standstill, a pause, a suspension if you will……..

Then let’s look at the Christian season of Advent, which invites us to see that waiting and expectation have power.

This is counter to our instant gratification culture.

When we not only wait, but prepare ourselves for what may be, we can be more open and ready to receive whatever arrives. A pause, a stillness, a presence.

Yet us glorious humans rush from one thing to the next, not allowing that space to be empty.

Sometimes we don’t even acknowledge all our growth and progress, because we have to keep filling the space. And in the holiday season it ramps up even more.

Which reminds me of a glorious quote from Howard Thurman that says:

In the stillness of quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair………..

So can you practise being Present, Leaning into the Pause and just saying Woosah?

Use the glorious Solstice energy to help you with this!

Oh and I meant to say to all those who have emailed and asked if there are still spots available for the Opening the Doors on 2025 reading – yes, there are a few left!

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 of release, stillness and peace.

It gently removes the heaviness and invites you into the ease and the quiet and it melds with the abundance and appreciation of who you are. As you breathe just let it swirl, you don’t have to control it.

If you need to go a bit further, I have a wee visualisation for you.

Then with this energy pick the card or cards that call to you. What Blessing is for you this week?

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

A BLESSING FROM QUEEN MAB

The Faery Gift of Being the Ruler of Your Own World

With this faery gift from the formidable and enchanting faery queen, Queen Mab, comes the blessing of being the owner of your own life. This is a powerful blessing indeed, for with this blessing comes the most precious gift of all, that of knowing that your life is yours to live.

With this blessing, let you now take up the reins of your life, let you decide what it is you do, and who it is you are, and who you are now becoming. It is your life, this wild and sweet thing, to be lived only once, and it is rare and priceless. You shall no longer be owned, nor forced, nor pushed, nor pulled, for with her gift comes the solidity of determining your own fate – for you are a being who has often been pressured to give away the crown that declares that you are the sovereign. With this blessing, it is returned to you.

Let yourself be a queen, a king, and know your world is as great as any other person’s. Your life is a jewel, and no more shall you spend it pleasing others. When this blessing comes to you, all who you know you will love and support you, and you will now take back the power that you gave away. You will climb the stairs to your throne and look upon your world and know that you will be a strong leader of your own soul. And you will inspire others to do the same.

With this gift from Queen Mab will come the sure knowledge of what is wise for you to do, and what would be foolish, and to know the difference between pleasing others and doing what is in the very best interest of the path of your soul.

You faery friend, are a magnificent being, and your life, your world, and your very being are royal. Be most loyal to your ownself, and know now the gift of great and deep self-respect, and of choosing what is right for you.

Blessings of the great and good Queen Mab to you, friend.

A BLESSING OF THE WILD WITHIN

The Faery Gift of the Untamed Heart

Within you is a wild place, a place that is pure and untouched by conditioning and should and should-nots……and it is to this place the faery blessing of the wild within comes and rests and takes root within you this day.

This blessing is a calling back to your wild self, to the self that has been shaped and pummelled by the forces of family and culture and manner and jobs and timetables and by all of the things in the human world that can cage us..

And so the fae offer you this shining blessing, which returns you for a moment to your own wild within, so you can remember what it felt like to be natural, to be unthinking and uncensored, to be innocent and dancing, to move when called to, to have that primal, instinctual self take hold and fly with you.

When this blessing comes, let that wild within flow all the way through you, and find places and spaces in your life to allow the wild within to have its moment – dance without fear of judgement; speak, words falling like waterfalls from your lips; sing and use the voice the great gift of nature has offered you; and never feel awkward or strange or like you do not fit in…..

Instead knowing you are a deep part of all that is around you, and that somehow, by your very presence, you ignite a little of that wild within inside every soul you meet.

May the blessings of that wild within offer you a return to the natural, most innate parts of you, and let them arise and dance and sing and be loving towards all.

Let the untamed heart of you warm all that is about you, and bring you back to that sense of deep belonging to the earth, and to the stars.

Blessings of the faery gift of the wild within to you, friend.

A BLESSING OF A SAFE PLACE IN THE WORLD

The Faery gift of a Sanctuary, a space in which to feel completely supported and loved.

The Faeries know what it is like to find the safe places in the world – for theirs are under siege, and have been for such a long time. The faeries know how to find the little home in the forest or the garden that is growing wild, the roots of old trees and the hollows beneath the sacred hills.

In these places, they have grown stronger and stayed safe, and they now transfer to you a part of this gift. You will now find places and spaces within the world where you will feel free to be completely yourself, where you, too, can grow strong and bright again, and need have no fear.

Let there be a shelter and a sanctuary for you and your soul, where you can learn what it is you are meant to do next, and where there is no harsh word spoken, only guidance that can help ease us all into the next stage of our lives.

Let the safe spaces become our homes and our workplaces, our friendships and our schools.

Let the world become a safer space, and let the natural world shelter you with her turnings and showings of the changes about you.

Make not a fortress of this space you find, but let it begin to grow in your heart, so that wherever you go, others feel safe with you, and the world changes, in small but bright and beautiful ways, all as a result of this blessing of the faeries.

Blessings of a sanctuary, a safe space to you, friend.

Last New Moon of 2023, Solstice, Omen Days and Mercury Retrograde! Huzzah!

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Happy Mellow, Mothering, Meditative, Mindful, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Okay, grab a large cuppa of something warm and magickal, as we have so much to chat about this week! Are you ready? You settled and cosy?

Let’s see, we have the last New Moon of 2023 on the 12th, (Mercury goes retrograde on that day as well). Notice I put that in brackets so that you didn’t freak as it is contained, lol!

We have Solstice (which I frigging love) rapidly approaching.

The glorious Omen Days course (which I hope you will join – it’s a game changer to putting the year to bed and creating something for 2024).

And Personal Theme readings!

So where should we start?

Personally, I am going to start with Omen Days, aka the Sacred Days and Yuletide. These are the glorious days that happen from Boxing Day to January 6th (do you see why we have the song “12 Days of Xmas?”- hijacked from the Omen Days.)

These are days that are reckoned with at the end of the year to catch the Roman calendar up with the Solar Calendar.

As such these days between December 26th and January 6th are considered to be time out of time. Almost like you’ve slipped the bounds of the normal calendar. And you’re in an in-between space. A liminal space.

Interestingly in our culture the same is true. That period between Xmas and the first days of the New Year tends to be a very amorphous time; a time when you very much feel like you’re in transition or in limbo.

This is where the magic gets created for 2024.

This is a different way of closing the year …

The Omen days are a beautiful opportunity for you to process, release and close the old year, and subsequently open yourself to something new – but in a more feminine-mystical way.

This a welcome and soothing counterpart to society’s more Yang-oriented obsession on progress and moving forward.

THIS IS NOT A THING TO ADD TO YOUR TO-DO LIST, THIS IS A BE! NOURISH!

And as I mentioned – I have created a glorious course with all sorts of yumminess that will have you ditching your “New Year’s Resolutions” with abandonment. And best of all it is my Solstice gift to you! (Yes, that does mean free.)

I would love for you to experience a different way of putting 2023 to bed and envisioning 2024. One that you can feel in your bones, and cells. That calls to your ancient memories.

So why am I bringing that up first?

Because the New Moon in Sagittarius that happens on the 12th of the 12th, invites us to line up our arrow, take our aim, and then trust in the wind! Life is a ride, there is only so much we can control. So perhaps overall, that is the message this New Moon has for us.

Set your intentions, focus on healing, acknowledge your intuition, move slowly, but ultimately, trust the ride!

1212 reminds us of completion, wholeness, and greater wisdom.

So with Mercury retrograde happening on the same day (isn’t that fun?) “You do need to keep in mind the deeper levels, it is a powerful time for trusting our intuition and paying attention to our senses beyond the typical five.

Mercury Retrograde, happening on the same day as the New Moon, will heighten its energy and thin the veil. We may feel a little indecisive or confused, or instinctively feel that all the facts have not been presented to us.

When Mercury Retrograde is involved, moving slowly and methodically and trusting our intuition is important. With the veil thin, we have the potential to receive clearer guidance from our dreams, intuition, and higher self.”

Okay, now do you see how all the pieces – Omen Days, New Moon, Mercury Retrograde and Personal Theme Readings tie in?

Oh hang on, I forgot to mention Personal Theme Readings – or Opening the Doors to 2024 as I call them. Instead of writing about it (and making you question when I am going to shut up), you can pop over and see if it resonates for you.

My glorious email community got first dibs on Friday last week.

Wow, that was a lot to impart (and I hope you absorbed most of it). Let’s crack on with the reading!

Okay so when I asked my glorious giddy guides who they wanted to play with this week. I was a tad surprised! Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as not to do so would be rude!)

At the edge of the mind awaits the holy wilderness of the soul.

In the deepest sense you remember who you are.

Okay gorgeous bean, here we are with the holiday season rapidly approaching, and yet the place of Solstice. The longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a glorious warm dark night sky, you feel safe, you feel supported and held and as the clouds pull away you see stars that will guide you. Breathe that in. Allow this gorgeous Feminine Darkness to gently wrap around you and guide you and then when you are ready pick a card or cards that call to you.

You picked yes?

Shall we go see?

DAFFODIL FAIRY

New Beginnings

It’s time to wipe the slate clean; it’s time to release the old and start again.

The Creatrix is at your side, and wonderful opportunities will be born in your life. Wholeness occurs when you can say yes to both endings and beginnings.

It’s time to start a new project or a new cycle. Life force and vitality are emerging. Release that which doesn’t serve and support you. Make way for a new start!

FOGGY BOG

Patience

The best strategy is to be still and wait for the fog to lift.

Be quiet and still. The time is not right to go forward now.

It’s hard to see what lies ahead, and the truth of things may not be as they initially appear. Events that seem one way may, in fact, be completely different.

If you can wait long enough, your sixth sense will be ignited. Listen to your inner yearnings and pay attention to those seemingly random thoughts.

Water represents emotions, feelings, and the subconscious. When the water becomes condensed as fog, it obscures the true shape of things. We can’t see clearly the way we can in the light.

Don’t allow unexamined emotions to overwhelm your growth.

Have patience. Wait until the fog lifts before taking action. The truth will emerge in time; you just need to go deeper.

Follow your intuition.

GUARDIANS OF THE LAND

Protection

“You are safe.” These words seem to emerge from the land and radiate from the trees to echo in your soul. You hear these words again and again.

The Sacred Guardians of the Land are whispering to you, “You are safe.”

You know that you are protected and cared for. You can feel tendrils of their loving energy wrap around you and embrace you. Their unleashed power cocoons you in safety.

You are enough, just as you are. No matter what has happened or occurred in the past, the truth is that you are absolutely and unconditionally enough as you are.

You are loved. You are cherished.

You are safe and surrounded by a glorious protective shield. You are not alone; your life is guided and protected by higher forces.

Within this knowing-ness you can soar to great heights. Breathe wee one. Trust.

Oh my giddy aunt! Those glorious beasts were delicious. How did they resonate for you? So darling one, wishing you a week of ease, grace and flow. Don’t get tangled in any one else’s stuff, tinsel or lights. If it resonates for you to come join Omen Days – please do. If you want to find out your Personal Theme, please do. If you just want to be left the fuck alone and celebrate Solstice as you like – grab the Winter Solstice book.

See you next week, for the last reading of 2023 (as I am taking the Omen Days off to Be, Create, Plan, Cocoon and Relax.)
