Lions Gate Portal and Sturgeon Full Moon – Ch, Ch, Changes…….

Happy Magickal, Mischievous, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Thank you so much for all the wonderful messages and emails with regards to your Luscious Lughnasadh Companion Gift. It tickled me pink to hear about how you were celebrating, journaling and which rituals you tried. (My sister would have been very happy!)

Okay, we have a lot to cover and explore this week as today is the Lions Gate Portal and we have the glorious Sturgeon Super Moon in Aquarius on Thursday the 11th, so the energy has been off the charts. So let me ask – how are you? How are you feeling?

Many in our lovely community and in Creatrix Circle have shared all the unusual physical symptoms they have been having from feeling incredibly unwell (which was me all last week), to fatigue, feeling as if the top of their head wasn’t there, chest pains etc. Let alone the most random external experiences that were occurring. One client thought she was going quite bonkers, but when we talked about the energy and I tapped into hers we found a solution to keep her grounded.

So if you have been feeling off, odd or just very itchy, twitchy, bitchy or spacey – KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

The energy of August involves a lot of change, allowing yourself to release past wounding, large life evaluation and practicing proactive resilience.

The words Courage, Determination and Flexibility would stand you in good stead this month.

So let’s look at what the Lion’s Gate Portal is and how to use the energy to support you this month shall we?

The lion’s gate portal opens every year on August 8 (so the 8th of the 8th), when the Sun, Sirius and Earth take their perfect places for this energetic shower. Sirius is the 2nd brightest star and is sometimes called our “Spiritual Sun” and is known for her energy giving powers.

This creates a glorious portal of manifestation.

Eight is known as the powerhouse number, and it acts as a bridge between the material and spiritual realms. It’s also the number of power and wealth. So having a double 8 is quite auspicious.

Now you have a quick nutshell version of what the Lion’s Gate Portal is – how can you actualize all of this powerful eight-energy?

The portal opens in Leo season so play with your inner Leo (even if you aren’t one). The sign of Leo contains and represents love, generosity, leadership, and creativity.

Focus on love. Allow the Lion’s Gate Portal to open the portal in your own heart. Do things that bring you joy!

Prepare for massive shifts.

Tap into your spiritual side.

Practice gratitude. The more love and gratitude you pour out in the world, the more it comes back to you multiplied.

Next up is the glorious Sturgeon Super Moon in Aquarius on August 11th. This Moon is named the Sturgeon Moon to symbolize and represent the freshwater fish that were easily caught during this hot summer month in North America.

Have you ever seen a Sturgeon? They are so frigging impressive and look prehistoric and can be traced back over 200 million years!

Sturgeon can grow to be quite large in size and often live to be over 100 years old.

So – align your spiritual intentions this month with the strong and impressive sturgeon. They’ve survived millions of years by adapting and persevering through many different challenges. You are just as powerful and resilient whether you realize it or not.

The symbol for Aquarius is the Water Bearer, symbolically and eternally giving life and spiritual food to the world. The water from the vessel washes away the past, leaving room for a fresh, new start.

The sign of Aquarius is forward-looking and growth-oriented. Take this opportunity to let go of old pain, release what bogs you down, and open your mind to renewed flexibility and clarity. Great waves of life are flowing all around us at this time.

August is a powerful month of releasing and reevaluating your life. It’s time to let go of anything that is holding you back because you want to be open and ready for the new energies that are coming in at this point in the year.

So with that glorious energy in play, that both meld together – let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the glorious cards and asked who wanted to guide and support you this week I was delighted to see some new guides who wanted to show and shine.

In case you have never met them, please let me introduce you (as not to is rude!)

These glorious guides give you needed glimpses into your everyday life and help you see where changes can be made to enhance your life here on Earth. There is so much more to our world than we often perceive.

There exist many dimensions and numerous beings that reside in these realms. All of these elemental beings are interconnected with us. We do not live independent of one another but are interdependent. These wonderful beings are here to help.

They not only take care of the Earth, but they work hard to take care of us. We are familiar with many of these beings, such as angels, faeries, and elves. There are many more we are not conscious of, but they, nevertheless, contribute to the workings of our planet. Remember as you go through your day, to ask for help from the elemental world whenever you need it. The need is never too small to call on their help. It is through helping us that they advance in their spiritual development. We are their work. We in turn can spiritually evolve through allowing them to help us. To all these amazing beings we say Thank You.

Okay, let’s just take a moment and I invite you to take a lovely deep breath in. In through the nose, out through the mouth with a glorious sigh. Breathe yourself back here to this moment. Allow the worries to drop like water droplets down to the earth to nourish something new. Then, when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at you.

If you want a little bit more of a “tune up”, let’s go play with water in a lovely guided visualisation.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look.

ALWAYS

The keyword here is Infinity.

To truly understand life, you must understand that you have always been…and always will be. You are a part of the Divine Source that rules the Universe. Your spirit and your soul are immortal. As the physical body passes from existence your energy body survives, eventually to move back to join with the Spirit. Your connection to the Divine Spirit is never severed.

You are never alone. You are always connected to the Source. You are the vehicle through which the Divine Spirit manifests on Earth.

Understand your divinity and your importance on Earth. Appreciate that every other being on Earth is equally important to the Divine Plan. You may have a desire or wish for a special person in your life who will promise to always be there for you. First, you must always be there for yourself!

Perhaps in the past those who should have stuck by you did not. Those you thought were true were not. Release old pain and habit patterns and allow your highest good to manifest in your life.

Express your gratitude for you!!

This primes the pump for a real lasting relationship. And always remember the elementals that are helping you along the way. Their devotion to you is infinite and unwavering.

“I ever was,

I always will be.

I am Infinity.

My soul reaches out far beyond this shell,

Within me Spirit has a place to dwell.

I am.

So be it!”

Play a song over and over and over again.

FAIRIES

Think of the Spirit Realm and the realm of faeries and the faery within you.

You are being invited to use your inborn ability to tap into spirits of the mystical realm. You may find that you are enhanced with an otherworldly, magickal, faerylike quality. You may come from a long line of faery ancestors, carrying the bloodline of ancients. Others may notice something just a bit different about you.

The word eccentric might come to the minds of some who are acquainted with you. But do you care? No! And that is how it should be!

You may see, hear and know things others do not. Administering healing energy may be your talent. There is a special twinkle in your eye…these are the eyes that can see faeries, and communicate with all the elementals. You work with the heavenly as well as the Earthly spirits. You are a gifted person…..intuitive and capable of easily channeling the energies of the Universe.

Remember to always use this power for the highest good. Always ask that you be guided in its use and that no one comes to harm through your ministering. Remember to keep your ego out of your spiritual work, for therein lies your downfall.

Give credit where credit is due…..Spirit does the work.

“I joyously embrace my uniqueness.

I embrace all that comes from Spirit.

I allow Spirit to move within my being

And to assist the growth of others as well as myself.

I know that all healing comes from Spirit

And I graciously accept the gifts bestowed upon me, and as such,

I bring only honour to the name of Spirit.

So be it!”

Sprout your wings today!

TROUBLE

Honesty, such a beautiful thing. It’s time for you to keep your eyes open and your ears alert. Someone is not being as honest with you as they can be. This can be a business affair or a relationship. There is a stretching of the truth or a covering up of facts.

You are likely to find out too late unless you pay attention. Bring your intuition into play and combine it with fact finding. No one can keep the wool over your eyes for very long!

It’s also an important reminder to be scrupulous with your own words and deeds. Remember that what you send out is what you get back. This is the law of the Universe.

Be honest with yourself.

Trouble can almost always be avoided by paying attention, choosing your words and actions wisely, and by listening to your higher self.

Ask the faeries and angels to help you tap into your highest and best energy!

Remember, you do not need to draw negative situations into your life. Choose to bring joyful and positive situations instead. Sometimes the best action can simply be no action for the moment.

“Truth is within me.

Honest people surround me.

I am guided in all things,

To the perfect course of action.

My world is bountiful

And I work with the tool of truth, trust and attraction.

So be it!”

Stir things up today!

Oh gosh, I love these guides for this week! Wishing you an amazing week, delicious lovely, remember to beam love (especially to yourself), dance with the Lion’s Gate Portal energy and really utilise this amazing Full Moon to release, relax and rejuvenate. Big hugs and see you next week!

Minions, Memories, Grief and The New Moon.

Jenny Heston · 11:11 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Moody, Melancholy, Manifesting Monday! Here we are in Leo Season with a New Moon on Thursday.

This is a longer post as we have a couple of things to explore this week, two sides of the coin so to speak. Thus, if you aren’t willing to come and play in the messiness of human life, which can be real and raw, I highly suggest you skip this section. We are melding Grief, Memories and Lughnasadh (aka as Lammas) – which is about abundance and harvest, and the New Moon.

Yup I did say Grief out loud, something that is often classified as “taboo” in our Western Culture. As most people don’t know how to deal with it.

Let’s be honest, over the last few years with the lovely pandemic, war and massive climate upheaval, many people have experienced loss on so many levels including people transitioning and them not being able to be there when it happened.

Which got me thinking a lot about how we’re all just muddling through life. Honestly, it’s a wonder that any of us have the energy to reach out to others when we all have such complicated dramas playing out in our own lives. Add in the overwhelming stress of losing someone we love, and the volume gets turned all the way up.

The trouble, of course, is that as humans we’re not meant to be isolated. We are built for community, so even though it would be easier to wrap ourselves in cotton wool (or perhaps a duvet) and hide when we’re hurting, the real healing happens in relation to other people. This has been a huge challenge for many of us and this is something that I do struggle with in the month of July.

Three years ago I spent the month of July in the UK helping my big sister and best friend Fi to die. It was the toughest thing I have ever had to do so far in my life.

To watch someone you love so dearly in pain and being given one drug so the body will digest food, another drug so that the body will evacuate, another drug, another drug – it was inhumane and heart breaking.

To be with her 24×7 in the last week and witness the physical body shutting down and to hear the death rattle was almost more than I could bear.

Fi was one of my touchstones and I soooooooo didn’t want her to leave at all, but she did. It was transformative, painful and powerful all at the same time. And it fucking sucked!!!

When I returned back to Canada, numb and empty I struggled as all I wanted was to be alone. It felt primal. I wanted to wear soft clothing that felt cosy against my skin, I didn’t want to talk. I wanted to sleep and curl up, eat comforting food and drink hot tea. As after all it is difficult to be our most raw, broken selves in public.

Grief, to me, felt like having a limb chopped off. How was it possible that my sister – my best friend – was gone from the world in such an irreversible way? The shock of her absence followed me around for months, like an empty space where my shadow should have been.

And dealing with other people! Oh my Goddess – I had to remind myself that other people were trying their best. Even when they seemed to say or do precisely the wrong thing.

So when the first July came around I didn’t realise how it would gut me. To remember that on her birthday, July 28th, she started leaving us and died 3 days later. Staying with her 24×7, the candles, the music, the stories that I would tell her in the hopes that she would open her eyes and would be totally fine. It knocked me for seven to be honest.

The second year wasn’t much better, although being a bit wiser I made sure to clear space and time to feel all the feels and take myself off into the woods and be alone.

This year I’ve been handling July – okayish so far, but I can feel it all burbling and needing honouring. So I’ve been asking myself if being alone to mark her birthday and her “death day” (as I’m not too sure what to call it) is the only way, or could I hold the space for others?

So I am striking a compromise. On her birthday 28th, (New Moon), I am going to play, take time out and pause, invite her to the ocean, into the woods and into a lovely Leo New Moon ritual, as she was always telling me – pause, breathe, check in and set your intention.

So with the Leo New Moon being one of the sweetest New Moons we have experienced in a while, that makes total sense.

This Leo New Moon carries the vibration of abundance, joy, and creativity. It is a beautiful New Moon for checking in with the flow of our lives and if we are where we want to be.

Some days, life tends to pass in a blur. We get caught up in the rush and swept up in the flow of our past actions and beliefs. But July’s New Moon is a good time to pause and consider the direction of our lives.

Are we moving in a direction that feels good? Are we taking actions each day that fill us with joy and inspiration, or are we living merely out of habit?

To really make the most of this energy, bring your attention to your heart centre under this New Moon. Listen to your heart, what whispers does it share?

One powerful and quick exercise you can do to connect with your heart is to close your eyes. Take three deep breaths, and then place your hand over your heart. From this place, ask your heart what it needs the most right now, and then trust the feeling or message that arises.

Yes, grief does lessen – in other words it doesn’t walk with you every day, but when it floods up it is as intense as it ever was.

Then on Sunday – her death day – I’m going to hold a wee celebration of life with my family and close friends, instead of running to the woods on my own. It will be hosted in the garden, there will be Minions (as she loved, loved the minions), cake and tea, great music, bubbles, stories and wee little origami boxes with ladybirds – to be released into the garden, each carrying a blessing.

All the things she would have loved. I’m trusting I will keep it together lol.

And as a gift to all you wonderful beasties, on Thursday (if you are part of our email community) and in honour of my most magickal, wise, amazing sister there will be a glorious Lughnasadh bundle available for free. Why?

On August 1st (Monday) Lughnasadh or Lammas happens, it is the first of three harvest festivals. A time of appreciation, gratitude, abundance and it is a time of awareness that the strength of the Sun (Lugh) is beginning to wane and there is a shift and change afoot. Active growth is slowing down and the darker days of winter and reflection are gently and slowly raising their heads.

I love Lammas as it’s such a glorious celebration of food, first harvest and gathering. All things that Fi loved and understood.

You may not think you have anything you are harvesting in your life. You may not be able to name what, exactly, you’ve been growing & tending this year. BUT I PROMISE YOU, simply being a human being living through the uncertainties & upheaval has caused you to stretch & grow in ways you may not realise yet. And that growth is GOING TO bear fruit in some way.

One of the most beautiful lessons Lughnasa/Lammas teaches us is to TRUST.

So make sure you snag the Lammas bundle when it’s released this coming week. It is filled with lore, stories, rituals and glorious things to make and do to honour YOU. (Yes You!) And how wonderful you are and all the ups and downs, the hiccups and the accomplishments you have experienced.

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 loss and abundance. It holds any grief you may feel about a person, place, situation or thing 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.

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.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING OF A FAERY GUARDIAN

A Faery Gift of Magickal Protection and Lifelong, True Loving Care.

At your birth into this world, human child, a faery came to you and offered you the blessings of your soul. For each of us, this blessing will be unique, created especially for the journey we are destined to take in this lifetime. So, with this blessing, may you know again the beauty and sweetness of your own faery godmother, your faery guardian. For she is still with you, helping to ease the way and remind you, as often as she is able to pierce the veil, that you are her charge, and she will remain with you all the days of this life.

May you now feel the presence of her love; may you feel that sense of being looked out for, that there is one being from the elemental world who works with your soul and helps you at all times.

When this blessing comes, tune in to her presence and know that all about you there is comfort, and goodness, and a way to move through all difficulties. Yoru faery guardian has always been with you this lifetime, and will remain until you have journeyed on. Know you are her most precious charge, and when times become troubled, and life seems bleak, know there is a being whose duty it is to bring you back to hope, to optimism, to the sense that you are a gifted, cherished being. Feel now the love of the faery guardian, your own faery godmother, and believe again in your own blessedness.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING OF CLEAR FORESIGHT

The Faery Gift of Knowing what is likely to come from the dimension we humans call the future.

A gift is given this day to you, a blessing of the faeries true. This gift is that of the long vision, the ability to see the consequences of actions taken in the present and, indeed, the outcome of decisions of the past. With this blessing of clear foresight, may you be blessed with the ability to see the lasting influence of what it is you choose to do – what will you be granting to the future of this world, to the children, to the ones who come after.

May you understand, therefore, what would be best for you to do, not only for your own self – though it is good and right for you to think of yourself – but of what is best for those you love and for those who come after us all. For the faeries love long, and see many a human unable to contemplate beyond their own needs – and, in that moment, unthinking of consequences, create a future they do not wish to inhabit fully. With this amazing faery gift, this enchanted ability to see further into the dimension of time, you will make the best decision for yourself now and for the future and the future of others. Time unfurls before you, a green scroll unwritten upon, but one upon which you can see what could come.

Take this blessing and use it wisely, for the fae, for the human children, and for the betterment of your own precious self.

Faery blessings of the long foresight to you, friend.

BLESSED BE

And so it is. May your week be filled with Blessings galore. If you are walking with Grief, please know that you are not alone – I see you, I hear you and you are so loved. I won’t tell you it will pass, as it doesn’t – but the gap where your shadow would be does lessen. To celebrate you and the fact that you are here, muddling through life and doing your best, do make sure to grab the Lammas bundle when it comes out on Thursday. Happy New Moon and Huge Blessings and I will see you in two weeks as I’m taking my time to feel all the feels and not dumb it down.

Slow Down, Pause, Set Boundaries, and Play!

Jenny Heston · 3:24 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Maudlin, Majestical, Meretricious, Magikal, Manifesting Monday!

Hello gorgeous bean, did you make it through the Full Moon last week? It was quite an interesting one, wasn’t it? Many of you reached out saying it was heavy and asking how to manage it and I was delighted to hear that you played with ritual (involving a stone and water) and let that shit go!

So how are you feeling now? (And remember, I am “that” person who will talk about the Elephant in the room!)

This week has been most interesting, and as I write this I am sitting in my garden sanctuary with Danu lying at my feet, Kali sleeping in the faery garden and butterflies and dragonflies galore.

A friend from the UK called me up the other day to ask what we paid for petrol per gallon, and apparently the UK is paying almost double what Canada is. He went on to share how he felt the country was struggling (Boris Johnson – who I fondly refer to as the muppet – stepped down) so the UK is without a Prime Minister at the moment. Tad tricky.

Then he shared what was happening in the towns he worked in, the cost of groceries, how any news of the Ukraine war wasn’t really happening – etc. etc. etc. And basically how the energy was frenetic and he was feeling triggered, fragmented, angry and overwhelmed.

He wasn’t the only conversation of this kind I have had this last week, in fact I would say about 20 of them with clients. The sense of fear and structural instability is high and in turn is creating, yet again, huge judgements, divisiveness and a sense of confusion and overwhelm.

So how do you navigate this or deal with this so it doesn’t “lodge” with you?

Here are 4 easy and powerful steps. Ready?

First thing is to slow down and set boundaries. Recognise and name what is happening around you, but don’t get stuck in the story of it, or taken out by fear mongers. And always, always remember “You have no control over other people, places, situations or things.”

You can not take on the responsibility for everything around you (although your mind might try to convince you otherwise).

When you try to take responsibility for all the externalities, suck up the news as if it’s a soda you are in fact putting your nervous system into hyper mode.

By dropping into your heart space, setting healthy boundaries, allowing yourself to slow down, to say “no” more often, it will help you make better decisions, connect more deeply with the people who matter to you, and help you to enjoy more meaningful experiences. It also helps you to stop getting triggered. (Always a good thing).

The second thing is to appreciate we are still in the midst of a massive paradigm shift and it hasn’t finished (even if no one else around you talks about it). What this means is there is a gentle whisper, a call if you will, to step into a place where you share and shine your light, but remember, you have to fill your own well first to be able to do this.

Which leads to the third thing.

The third thing is to have a daily practice that gets you in touch with and nourishes your inner self, your inner power, your essence and soul. Now I know you may be rolling your eyes and saying – yeah, yeah Jenn, daily practice sounds like a great idea but I don’t have the time.

Bullshit.

Can you honestly tell me that you don’t have 10 minutes to sit outside in nature? 10 minutes to do some yoga whilst focusing on your heart space? 10 minutes to write a stream of consciousness and get all the shit out of your head? 10 minutes to pull a card in the morning and reflect on the energies to walk with?

Do you see where I’m going?

If you have 10 minutes to dive down the rabbit hole of social media, you have 10 minutes to strengthen your soul and connection.

I have a daily practice that is split into two, the first part happens the minute I’ve brushed my teeth and popped the kettle on first thing in the morning. The second part happens right before I’m climbing into bed.

And for me, these are NON NEGOTIABLE.

I don’t start my day until I have done my morning practice and I don’t go to sleep until I have done my evening one. Are they long? Heck no, as I’m not a supremely patient person. However, they are exceptionally powerful and they keep me grounded, whole, connected to my intuition and the divine and allow me to make better choices of where I spend my energy.

Last but not least, the fourth thing is to remember to Play! When we are in a state of play, whether it is having a kitchen dance party, blowing bubbles, skipping rocks or playing an instrument or anything else! We are in a state of flow, openness and creativity.

From that place comes an amazing connection to something bigger than yourself that wells up in your chest and brings you glorious joy, delight and trust. Who doesn’t need more of that?

So next time you’re cooking dinner, pop on some great music and dance your soxs off whilst singing into the end of a carrot that you are peeling! What have you got to lose?

Okay I have chuntered on enough, let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the cards to ask who would like to teach and guide this week I was tickled to see who came to join. Let me please introduce you to the Earth Warriors.

There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate.

At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word “struggle” from your attitude and your vocabulary. A new world is being born. It is founded upon love and higher consciousness, instead of fear, hate and greed. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.“

Oh my Giddy Aunt! Frigging perfect, lol.

Okay delicious lovely, take a moment and breathe into your heart space. Take a glorious deep breath in through the nose and see your heart space lighting up and gently unfolding. Then as you exhale out your mouth with a sigh, see any burdens drop to the ground to become cosmic compost. Keep breathing this way for a minute and let your heart open more and more.

Then when you are ready, allow your heart to guide you to the card or cards that tickle the petals of your heart.

Did you remember to pick?

Come with me and let’s have a look shall we?

INTIKHANA

Child of the Light

There is a divine light that does not cast a shadow. Nor does it cast judgement, even though it reveals truth – a truth that is sometimes hard to acknowledge and requires that we change our ways.

True divine light is healing, it is unifying, it brings hope and illuminates the way. Other sorts of light exist on this planet that are not so pure, nor so helpful. Those sorts of light may appear stunningly bright, yet, in effect, create separation and increase ego.

You can recognise genuine divine presence not by how dazzling it may appear at first, but by what your devotion to that divine light evokes in your heart and your world.

Trust your feelings over appearances. Move away from influences that create fear, negativity or doubt in you. Reach out for that which uplifts your heart.

Refuse to be dazzled by ego masquerading as something spiritual.

Through your prayers and efforts, spiritual light has been accumulating on the inner planes, even though you may not sense that consciously as yet. There will be an intersection of events and circumstances in your physical world through which that light shall pour forth and manifest itself as grace.

There is something truly good to come of it.

In the Incan tradition, Inti is the physical sun and the spiritual presence inherent in the sun’s life giving energy. When we are faced with deep unknowing or dark depressing thoughts, welcome in the spiritual intervention of joyful light.

Open up to the joyful light of love and peace to fill your heart and your home. You have the power to call this in because you are acknowledged as a child of the light.

From that place of inner peace, luminous love and safe refuge, you can proceed with boldness, patience, wisdom and hope. You don’t just have light within you. You are the light.

Remember. Shine. We need you.

AJNA DURGA

Power of the Good

You need never lose faith in the power of good. You need never lose faith in how much you can accomplish as an independent and inspired individual in this world. You need never believe that you are alone or without divine protection. You need never fear evil.

The third eye of the Divine Mother sees all things, is ever watchful and ever just. She births through holy vision, the manifest power of good in all realms. Her gaze is upon you now. Trust her.

Believe in the power of the Divine to keep an eye on things for you. Trust that power to alert you when you need to know something or to understand what is happening in your life and what you need – even if you aren’t so sure of that yourself at times.

Be active in contesting negativity.

The moment you feel something isn’t coming from love, acknowledge it immediately. You don’t have to make it about you or analyse it. Call for divine support in all things. It is your greatest ally.

Give up your attachment to past experiences of rejection and abandonment so that you can open up to how much the Divine loves you and can help you. Practice feeling the confidence and unconditional trust in a higher power, knowing it is stronger than all else.

Durga is your ally, your divine weapon, your refuge and your vital energy for sacred purpose. Do not allow yourself to be intimidated.

Let that confidence and trust in the divine goddess of goodness radiate out of you like a shining sun that fills your heart, your mind and your belly.

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 impacts for ourselves and others.

Yet there is a simple spiritual discipline that we can practise 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. Do 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, glorious guides for this week – I mean seriously, you can’t make this shit up! So delicious, lovely, wishing for you a week of slowing down, taking a pause, setting heart based boundaries, starting a daily practice and play! Fill your well so your glorious light can shine like a delightful star. Big hugs and blessings. See you next week.

How the New Moon and Lilith will help you Ignite and Claim your Sacred Rage.

Happy, Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Magnificent, Merry, Manifesting Monday!

I have to say yesterday was so fun!

It was the massive Pride parade here in Victoria, and I was volunteering at a booth, and I dressed! I became a glorious butterfly faery, in a wee tiny dress with wings that covered my whole back and draped down to the ground, it was awesome! I had bubble wands galore and let bubbles dance on the slight breeze we had in the intense heat.

It was incredible to see how many people turned out and all with the full intention of celebrating diversity, peoples rights to choose how they identify and what they need and how they express themselves. They were forecasting 25 – 30 thousand people which I thought was amazing!

It was a glorious panacea to how heavy my heart felt and how much anger surfaced when I heard that Roe vs Wade had been overturned. It floored me to think that someone else has the right to tell me what I can and can’t do with my body, or what my daughter’s can or can’t do.

Seriously, the USA has become one of the 4 nations in the world (yes in the world) who has rolled back abortion rights since 1994, and by far the wealthiest and most influential nation to do so. The other three nations to curtail abortion rights are Poland, El Salvador and Nicaragua.

As the Guardian reported – “The end of the right to abortion in the United Sates will have devasting consequences around the world. A half century ago, the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v Wade decision inspired a new era of reproductive freedom in dozens of countries. The court’s reversal will empower anti-abortion voices everywhere, threatening reproductive freedom and the right to control one’s destiny.“

And let’s be honest – banning abortion doesn’t mean there won’t be any. It means there won’t be safe abortions and people will be hurt and die.

So if you are at all feeling anger, disbelief, sadness, frustration – what do you do with it?

If you leave it to ferment in your body it won’t go well. It’s time to distil it into sacred rage that comes from the heart space, not the head space. The heart space is the compass, it is the guide to truth. Your truth. It’s the guide to clarity and a level of strength that is unstoppable.

It is the place of Sacred Rage.

Sacred Rage is a rage that propels us into sacred activism, to do something, instead of believing we are powerless to create change.

To take holy action where we can, and inseminate ripples of light. We all have our part to play in the greater tapestry. We all have our thread that is connected to the whole.

When a Woman Connects to and Cultivates a Positive, Mature Relationship to the Life Force Energy of Sacred Rage She Plugs Into An Ancient Lineage of Feminine Magic That Can Move Mountains.

She Becomes a Force of Nature and thunders after injustice.

So it’s interesting to see what the New Moon in Cancer, which happens on June 28th, is bringing to the table.

New Moons draw energy toward us, which is why they are typically a good time for setting intentions and thinking about what we wish to attract into our lives.

Under any New Moon, use it as a portal to draw things to you, use it to meditate on how you wish to feel, how you want your mindset to be, and how you wish to move through your day.

“Under this June 2022 Cancer New Moon, we may feel extra sensitive, but this sensitivity can be used to make us more intuitive, more compassionate, and more responsive to our environment.

By tuning into the subtle vibrations of the world around us they become a compass, letting us know which direction feels good and which direction feels out of balance. Using our sensitivity as an internal compass is how we can turn it into a superpower!“

This Cancer New Moon with its heightened sensitivity, will help us to determine where these beliefs stem from and how we push past them. Set some intentions and trust the New Moon will carry your requests through the Universe.

Black Moon Lilith is also close to the energy of the June 2022 New Moon.

Black Moon Lilith represents the feminine, particularly the darker, raw, feminine instincts that are suppressed or shunned in our current society.

Black Moon Lilith also represents sexual empowerment and stepping into our full power as an awakened goddess! Feeling sexy, feeling desirable, and knowing our worth are all domains that Black Moon Lilith can touch upon.

Black Moon Lilith isn’t subservient and doesn’t listen to authority. When in Cancer, she takes a stand and connects with causes that are near and dear. No one can tell Black Moon Lilith what to do – especially with her body.

So what are the intentions that your Sacred Rage is inviting you to set at this New Moon?

What energy and passion do you want to use to ignite change?

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading.

The cards that wiggled and giggled to come support this week are The Divine Circus Oracle, which made me laugh and nearly snort tea out of my nose! The reason I laughed is these glorious guides are playful, but deep. The most positively perfect guides for right now.

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

So gorgeous bean, centre and ground. Breathe yourself back into your body with lovely deep breaths. Allow all the pieces of you to come back to you. Then I invite you to see a fire, a glorious fire that is burning with strength and passion in your heart and your belly. Watch the flames dance and embrace that energy, that strength and passion. Let it whirl in your third eye space and then pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see, shall we?

DATE WITH DESTINY

Out of the ethers and into your life, she arrives now because you have a date with Destiny. She is a mysterious creature; her ways are wild and her guidance is true. She may create chaos from which a new order can emerge, but there is no need to fear. She has come to inspire, uplift and direct you.

A date with Destiny is a big deal. It is the moment when you realise there is something helping you out, something intelligent, powerful, wise and, no matter how empowered you are, something even more powerful than your own efforts.

All bets are off!

Nothing is held sacred and anything can happen. If you are a control freak, this will probably scare you witless! You can trust in Destiny’s interventions on your behalf, even if her work seems to be causing your best intentions to go astray.

Trust or go mad because you cannot control her. And you do not need to!

Your divine destiny is your best life. It is you in the fullest and most beautiful creative expression possible. It is what you want and need, even when you don’t immediately realise it, even when that is rather different to what you once thought you wanted and needed.

She isn’t, despite most people’s fears, a sadist. But she will dance through your life in her big stomping combat boots, even if that means causing some pain now to avoid a far greater pain later on. The appearance of havoc of mayhem is just a sign that she’s at work on a divine realignment assignment!

The Universe has heard the prayers in your heart, and life is going to answer them by rearranging what needs to be rearranged to sort out whatever has been troubling you. Make sure you let it happen. You are not meant to be in control.

Destiny is an exciting, unpredictable phenomena.

The more you allow yourself to trust in her, the more you will realise that the universe is working with you, rather than against you, and if you are willing, it will show you the time of your life!

CLOWN OF CROSSROADS

Opportunity is upon you, though it may seem like a farewell to what you have known.

This chance is a crossroad, a time when you go left or right.

You cannot continue with everything as it has been, and this means that something will have to be released for something else to be gained. It’s time for you to take your chances and make a choice.

Your life does not have to continue on as it has been anymore. You’re at a pattern breaking, life changing moment, or soon will be. Of course you can try to continue with the status quo, however, in doing so, you will be saying no to the pathway opening up for you. It’s time for a new phase of life to begin. Be patient as you feel for the truth of your choice, whilst remaining courageous enough not to procrastinate and become stuck in indecision.

You can’t take your whole life with you into new territory, and that’s okay. Certain people may be able to change and grow along with you, but other relationships, situations or circumstances will have to be sacrificed on the altar of new life.

This can be difficult and you must honour your loss, but not get taken down by it. You may be feeling fear and excitement, so it’s time to take heart. It’s time to leap!

RED COUNTESS

Deep within, you know what is true and what to do (or not do). Yet there is so much noise and distraction in the world, and even at times in our own minds, that listening for our inner wisdom can seem like trying to hear gentle birdsong in the midst of a rock concert.

Even so, you are hearing an inner truth, and deep down, you know it. Can you trust that it is safe to not only hear your inner voice but act on it too?

There is something that you know. You’ve felt, sensed, heard or realised this truth more than once. Even if others see or feel differently, you just know what you know, even if you don’t quite know how you know it!

Give your truths value. Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense.

Know that they’re worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying.

If you cannot figure out what your inner truths are, or you feel confused by conflicting thoughts and feelings, torn between head and heart, then you are in a state of information overload. You need to switch off, discharge some excess mental and emotional energy and take a break.

Give yourself some time out from the crazy noise and constant distractions of the world so you can get in touch with what is true for you.

Oh my glorious Goddess! Such amazing guides for this week – fuck yeah! So darling one, I invite you to embrace your sacred rage, don’t let it fester or make you run and hide. And as it slowly starts to ignite let it fuel your passion, purpose and clarity with a clear flame. Sending you big hugs and see you in a couple of weeks, as this coming weekend is a holiday in North America.

Solstice and Pride!

Jenny Heston · 3:14 pm ·

Happy Magnetic, Magickal, Miraculous, Marvellous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you? How was the delicious Strawberry SuperMoon for you? Many of you have shared that it felt very challenging but deep (that’s not a bad thing), as there are so many shifts and changes happening in you and around you.

But guess what?

Summer Solstice is coming, Summer Solstice is coming! Whoot!

Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 21st, is the Summer Solstice and I am so looking forward to celebrating it. Every year has been filled with different ways of celebrating, different rituals and different intentions/offerings and the harvest that I have reaped from these has been mind blowing! (As in, you seriously can’t make this shit up!)

In fact at the end of this month I close the circle on a 4 year Solstice setting ritual that was amazing, challenging, but oh so worth it! I will tell you about it next week.

Thank you for all the amazing feedback on SASS – The Stupendously Abundant Summer Solstice Guide. I’ve been tickled pink to hear how it is resonating for you and which rituals you have picked! And yes, she is available until the 24th.

Oh and for those that have asked, there are only 2 spots left for the Summer Solstice Reading Special.

Summer Solstice (also known as Litha) is all about abundance, growth, expansion. It’s the celebration of the Sun!

Think about it, the farmer plants the seeds in the cool of the Spring in the wet ground and as the Summer Solstice approaches things have sprouted and are reaching up as if they are doing a glorious sun salutation.

It’s a time to watch the ripening and fruiting of the plants around us and our ideas. This is a delicious inner fire/power celebration that acknowledges the abundance that grows from tiny seeds. This is a time of really reclaiming your inner power and brightness and mapping out the harvest you desire for the next while.

It’s also a time of magic – Midsummer’s eve was believed to be a time when the veil between this world and the next is at its thinnest – a time of powerful forces and magical happenings, when fairies were thought to be about and at their most powerful. This otherworldly sense underpins Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, where the fairies use their magic and cause mayhem in the forest.

This is a day of inner power, brightness, Magick, Manifestation and celebrating your Divine Masculine.

Each Summer Solstice I celebrate in different ways with different rituals, however, one thing I always do is create/craft something to honour the gifts that I receive.

Last year was a massive driftwood portal! She is gorgeous. All the pieces of driftwood are woven together. I wove ivy around her (keeping the roots in the ground) and then put tiny fairy lights onto her, and built an incredible rock stairway for her approach. And it’s so fun to see how the ivy is growing around her a year later.

This year, I needed a chair!

Every morning as the sun is rising I make a cuppa and go sit outside. I have a particular chair that is tucked in a corner and protected from the elements where I watch the world wake up, listen to the birds, and I set my intentions for the day. Sad to say, my old chair died – split straight up the middle which made sitting on it tenuous.

So I went to the Habitat for Humanity store, found a glorious wooden chair in the style that I wanted. One where the seat is big enough that I can sit cross legged and brought her home. Then the fun happened.

She was sanded and painted a super gorgeous fiery red, and then beautifully adorned with swirls, flowers and energy flow symbols, and then sealed. I am so looking forward to sitting on her for morning tea! I was so enchanted with the design that I made that I’m now creating a glorious Solstice Faery house!

So however you choose to mark the Solstice, take pride in who you are, the changes you have moved through in the last 6 months and celebrate your gorgeous inner fire! You are so worth it!

And speaking of Pride…………

Where I live June is Pride month, a time to celebrate the diversity of the human package that we come in. I have to say, I love it! As an ally I honour each person’s right to choose who they are, how they identify and who they choose to love.

When I was a teen in Oxford, most of my closest friends were people who were a good 15 years older than me, and gay men. Gosh! I had so much fun, I learned a lot and I always felt safe, loved and appreciated. There was a lovely chap called Gaz who was an incredible illustrator and would create the most magickal, whimsical imagery for children’s books and he would share the most amazing stories with me. He was a very special person.

Thus, I always try to help out in some way for Pride, however with Covid we haven’t had a parade in 3 years, but this year we do! This Sunday there is a massive Pride parade with floats, displays, music and all sorts. I have volunteered to take care of a booth/tent at the festival. But what to wear? Lol

Thankfully I have an amazing niece who went through her tickle trunk of costumes and odds and bits and I am going to look sparkly, colourful and sassy as heck! I have bubble wands galore to play with and I am thoroughly looking forward to playing, supporting and helping out at Pride.

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the guides and cards to ask who was willing to support and guide this week – there was no choice whatsoever. Isis Oracle were adamant and if you think about it – the perfect energy for this time.

Now if you don’t know these amazing guides, please let me introduce you. Have you ever asked who Isis is? Goddess of the Skies, Magick and Wisdom are just a few of the titles she is given. Let me take a moment to introduce you to this lovely deck – “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening. Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world. When a Soul is growing in power and strength, it can benefit from guidance to help make the path into a new way of being in the world that much easier. Isis offers Her wisdom and guidance to you to assist you at this time of spiritual growth and transition. She loves you, and wants you to shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.”

Yes!!!!!!! “Shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.”

Okay delicious lovely, let’s just settle for a moment shall we? Just breathe yourself back into your body, calling back any pieces that you have left lying around during the day or the week. Breathe long and deep and allow in your mind’s eye the energy of the sun to fill you, to pour liquid gold energy through you – soothing, nourishing and cleansing.

When you feel relaxed and ready, pick the card or cards that whisper to your wise self, your radiant self, your powerful self.

Did you remember to pick?

Come take a look.

DIVINE GUARDIAN

Protection of the Winged Mother

You are venturing through a time of significant spiritual growth and healing. There are many changes occurring internally and they will be reflected in your external world soon also. You are protected during these times by the love and strength of the Winged Mother, Lady Isis. You can relax and allow your transformation to happen. Let your Divine Guardian protect you now, as you learn to let go and trust in your own unfoldent for the greatest good.

Big spiritual growth can bring difficult challenges. Through such challenges, an Initiate can gain wisdom, power and awareness, and leave behind fears that once held them captive, free from past restrictions, free to live a life that is truly extraordinary and inspirational. Yet the challenges can feel deeply confronting. The Initiate may be tested to stay true to their own beliefs even if their loved ones do not understand or support them. Or they may be required to let go of what they have known to embrace something completely unfamiliar and this may be uncomfortable for them, and they may fear losing support, safety or friendship as they venture into a new life.

You have been receiving impressions and inner nudges that are from your higher guidance, which has been helping you with situations that are currently unfolding in your life and will continue to do so. You are, spiritually speaking, on the right track. Life does not have to be fixed or even clear at all times in order for you to be safe. Isis is with you. All is well.

DIVINE SISTERHOOD

Community of the Spiritual Sisters and Brothers of the Light

In a community that is based in equality, respect, healthy boundaries and personal freedom, with a mutual desire for spiritual growth and honouring of innate wisdom, great miracles occur. You are part of this community of light. At one time it existed only in the spiritual worlds, yet now it is being born on the Earth. It is part of your destiny to help create and nurture a conscious community that empowers all of its members and is based in truth.

Letting the Divine Feminine nourish you now into new relationships, collaborations, community and friendships is very wise. There are many souls with whom you have spiritual contracts decided upon before you were born who wish to help you, and whom you can help too, as you grow together in peace and light and wisdom. Your light has value on its own of course but it is also of deep service when it is visible to others, lighting the way.

Mother Isis says that there is so much light awakening within our planet, and so much spiritual light gifted to Earth from celestial beings at this time, that it makes sense to build a large enough container to receive it. If you had enough electricity to power a city, you wouldn’t try to fit it in one house. Likewise, with all this spiritual electricity becoming available on the EArth, groups are needed to help it to circulate and flow.

If you accept all of this but still cannot find your spiritual home here, and have been wondering where your community is, you are not alone! They are looking for you too! Say ‘yes’ to opportunities to meet like-minded people and let Isis guide you through circumstances, opportunities and spontaneous moments as you and your beloved sisters and brothers find each other together for group benefit. If you have found that you have guidance to build community yourself, and are feeling a little overwhelmed at the thought, stay calm and stay in your heart.

SPIRIT OF ISIS

Triumph of the Goddess

Beloved Initiate, there are times to surrender and let go, but there are never times to give up! Persist with your bold faith and inspired action until the impossible happens. Isis has the spirit of triumph and will never fail in Her quest no matter how bold or impossible it seems. Believe.

It is helpful on the inner path to let go and detach over and over again and yet we need to stay true to our heart and not give up on what we feel we are here to do. Whether it is reaching for enlightenment, for inner peace, for a creative breakthrough or personal healing, the triumph of the Goddess is with you now urging you not to give up, no matter how far away or impossible success may seem to be. Don’t quit! Persist until the impossible happens!

You are being reminded that you can surrender, let go of attachment as to how everything will happen or what it will look like, even if it is frustrating to surrender the vision into the Divine Fires yet again, waiting until you feel it naturally coming together according to Divine Timing.

The Spirit of Isis is willing to wait until Divine Forces collide and the miracle occurs. Remember, beloved Initiate, that the forces of growth, love and divinity are in your corner. There is nothing more powerful than these. Allow them to have their way and you will have yours. Your win is assured.

Those are some deliciously powerful messages! How did the card you picked resonate for you? Have a stupendous week, delicious lovely. Allow the energy of the sun to ignite your inner fire, use the energy of the Super Full Moon to open you up and celebrate your diverse unique self! And most of all have fun! (Life is so much better when we remember to play!) Big hugs and squeezes and flowers galore!

Oracle cards

Happy Magickal, Mischievous, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

This creates a glorious portal of manifestation.

Eight is known as the powerhouse number, and it acts as a bridge between the material and spiritual realms. It’s also the number of power and wealth. So having a double 8 is quite auspicious.

So with the Leo New Moon being one of the sweetest New Moons we have experienced in a while, that makes total sense.

It is the place of Sacred Rage.

When a Woman Connects to and Cultivates a Positive, Mature Relationship to the Life Force Energy of Sacred Rage She Plugs Into An Ancient Lineage of Feminine Magic That Can Move Mountains.

She Becomes a Force of Nature and thunders after injustice.

Black Moon Lilith represents the feminine, particularly the darker, raw, feminine instincts that are suppressed or shunned in our current society.
