Happy, happy, Miraculous, Magickal, Merry, Moody, Manifesting May Monday!

Thanks for all the emails saying “Jenn, why wasn’t there a reading last week?”  

There wasn’t a reading as that weekend was a long weekend here in Canada, and it was filled with celebrations!

On Saturday, I had the honour, privilege and delight of officiating a wedding ceremony with an amazing couple that I had been working with for 4 months co-creating a wedding ceremony that really reflected who they were, and what was important to them.  We had the ocean behind us, the trees around us, the friends and family gathered, wild flowers galore and the weather was stupendous.

Then on Sunday I hosted an amazing English Country Garden picnic in a meadow filled with wildflowers to celebrate the mothership’s 94th birthday!  There were tea sandwiches galore, china cups, a glorious cake, song and family and friends.  

So it was a full on weekend to say the least, doing what I love – which is facilitating meaningful moments and marking occassions with ritual!

However, here we are with the last Monday of May happening.  Mercury retrograde is almost finished,  we are closing the eclipse portal and Summer Solstice is coming!  

I love Summer Solstice as it’s filled with power, passion, fire energy and one of the 3 spirit nights where the Fae come out to play.  I’m just finishing up the amazing Summer Solstice guide, which will be available next week, along with a glorious guided visualisation.  

Yet, I’m playing with the name.  

What do you think she should be called?  I’m open to suggestions.  

So as we put May to bed (and I know for a lot of you it has been a long and challenging month), what with Mercury retrograde, Pluto retrograde, the world being chaotic and eclipse season – we end it with a New Moon in Gemini today!  (May 30th).  

Don’t panic – this is a very gentle new moon that has some different invitations for you.  

As Forever shares – “So today, May 30, 2022, the Gemini New Moon closes the Eclipse Portal, bringing an end to Eclipse Season.

Eclipse season is always a highly transformative time. Whatever manifested, Eclipses always put us where we need to be – even if it doesn’t quite feel like it at first! 

While this fresh energy from the Gemini New Moon will be welcomed, there is some mentally foggy energy stirring at this time, cautioning us to move slowly and be patient. While we may feel some ease as we settle on new ground, the Universe is asking us to take it easy.

Being a Gemini New Moon, Gemini is represented by the twins. One twin is mortal, and the other is immortal, reminding us of these two sides of our being.

We all have a body, and we all have a soul, and it is often when they are working together that we feel our best.

Bringing harmony to our body and soul is an energy current that this Gemini New Moon can help us with.

If you want to bring more harmony between these two sides of your being, write down what your human side feels and what your soul side feels, and then set an intention to bring healing and unison to both of these sides. Trust that the Universe will help you build a bridge that both your human and soul side can walk towards.”

After the heavy energies of Eclipse Season, the Gemini New Moon will feel much quieter and should bring a softening.

While this New Moon won’t bring total clarity, it does remind us to be patient, to move slowly, and to focus on the gentler and more subtle aspects of our healing journey.

If life is still feeling hectic after the Eclipse transformations, know that this New Moon brings a reminder that it is ok to take your time to process, digest, and reflect.  After all, we still have Mercury retrograde until June 3rd.  

It’s time for some extra self-care under this New Moon which could involve embracing herbal remedies and teas. Sip on some chamomile, spray your pillow with lavender, and just keep things gentle, quiet, and soft.  

You can cleanse your home with citrus fragrances.  Detox the stale energy from your dwelling with citrus (the essence of Mercury).  Not only will it refresh your home, but it’ll boost your personal vibration as well.

The best activity to do during this lunation is nothing.  A lovely gentle ritual for this time is the Moon Bowl.  Set your New Moon wishes, be gentle with yourself and find your calm centre. 

Oh and if you want a wee one line mantra/affirmation based on your astrological sign for this New Moon energy, I’ve got you covered.

Okay, enough chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading.  The cards that wiggled and jiggled to guide this week are the glorious Sacred Destiny Oracle, guides. 

So in case  you have never met them, let me introduce you – and if you have met them before, let me reintroduce you (as not to do so is rude!).  “You have a sacred destiny; we all do.  There is a powerful and profound reason that you are here on the planet.  However, sometimes it may be difficult to understand what that reason is and perceive what is required on your journey into the future.  It may be a challenge to know what the next step in life should be.  This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul.  In ancient traditions, shamans, medicine women, witches, visionaries, and prophets all accessed hallowed knowledge by observing their natural environment.  These wise beings stepped through mystic gateways into inner realms to bring back meaning to the seemingly random event of life. “

Note the line –  This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul. 

Perfect guides for this time, as nature nurtures and heals and holds us with love and compassion.  

So darling one, take a moment.  Let the shoulders drop, let the jaw relax and just gently close your eyes and breath.  And I mean breath, in through the nose, open up the belly and out through the mouth with a sigh.  Imagine nature holding you, supporting you, delighting you.  Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper.

If you would like to go a bit deeper, come into the magickal garden with me.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

WONDERS

Quartz

Natural rock crystals – clear, amethyst, citrine, rose, and smoky – were revered in ancient times.  The Aborigines of Australia called it maban, which was the material through which their shamans and elders gained their magical powers.  

The Egyptians believed quartz had mystical healing abilities and would bury their dead with a piece of crystal on their forehead.

The Greeks and Romans believed crystals were solid ice that had been formed by the gods and thus had mystical powers.  Even to the present day, people believe that crystals can help manifest their intentions. 

Perhaps that is because of the piezoelectric qualities of quartz – the reason why quartz can amplify radio signals.

Like the wondrous crystals – just around the corner, exciting possibilities are waiting for you.  

Wonders will be abounding in your life!  Sometimes they won’t be apparent at first; nevertheless, they are there.  The more you see them and embrace them, the more these possibilities will grow in magnitude.

Celebrate and cherish even the smaller ones, no matter how tiny they may seem.  Let go of expectations.  Don’t limit the way that you think that wondrous events could appear in your life.  Be open.

If you believe, anything and everything is possible.

SUCCESS

The Jungle

Tropical jungles are some of the richest and most successful habitats on our planet.  They have incredible diversity – a multitude of plant varieties and animal inhabitants.  

They are dense with life-force that is rapidly growing and rapidly changing.  The lushness of their vegetation is essential to the ecological health of the earth.  

In many ways, the success of the planet depends on the rain forest.  These areas are called the “lungs of the planet”.  The plants absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen and help reduce the impact of worldwide climate change.

What does this mean for you?

Like the rich jungle teeming with wonders, miracles and life –  satisfaction, contentment, and fulfilment are at hand.  Success is waiting to expand in your life.  Be ready to accept and embrace this success, for it might occur rapidly.

All is possible.

The gates of triumph are waiting to open.  Being in a state of gratitude for all the small successes in your life will give birth to larger ones.  Your satisfaction will come in many forms and from many areas of life.

Celebrate it all and breathe it all in, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.  

This is an excellent time to make commitments, sign contracts, and make deals.

Good fortune will ensue.

TRUTH

Song of the Wind

Wind is the realm of the air elements, one of the four elements of life (air, water, fire, and earth).

Air takes form in the oxygen we breathe as well as in breezes and zephyrs. 

It also represents our communication skills.  When we speak, it is the air that passes through our mouths that allows us to speak and communicate.

Wind is also prana, the source of life.  As you communicate your truth to yourself and others, you’ll find new energy and vitality emerging within your life.

The wind is asking you to be honest with yourself and speak from your heart.  

Find your truth.  Listen for what is sincere and honest in others.  

One of the most difficult things to know is what’s true for you and what isn’t.  

Sometimes it takes sincere silence to find your inner voice of truth, but once you find it, let go of anything in your life that isn’t authentic.

Share your truth with others.  Release relationships in which you can’t be yourself and can’t be real.

Being genuine, aligned and authentic can allow your spirit to fly and the song of your soul to be heard in the Universe.  

Beautiful!  So gorgeous, lovely, may your week be blessed, may you be gentle with yourself and practice self care.  Keep your eyes peeled for the amazing Summer Solstice guide (name suggestions welcome), and there may be a glorious Summer Solstice reading special coming up – we are perking it.  Big blessings and massive hugs.  

With this Blood Moon Eclipse are you willing to cross the Thresholds?

· ·

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

Well here we are at the Blood Moon Eclipse in Scorpio, how are you feeling?

If you remember, eclipses come in pairs.  As if they are a Portal or a Threshold.  

We had the first eclipse of the year just 2 weeks ago at the New Moon and its counterpart is happening right now.  However, the bottom line is – what does this mean for you?

Eclipses uncover hidden emotions, beliefs, thought patterns and habits.  

They bring to the surface the bits and bobs we have been either trying to stuff into an already over crammed closet, or have continually swept under a rug (and we wonder why the rug has a bump in the middle!)

So if you have been feeling agitated, emotional or as I like to refer to it – “itchy, twitchy and bitchy”, I’m not surprised.  

With this being a Full Moon Eclipse.  Imagine the energy of a Full Moon intensified by 100, that is the energy this brings.  The releasing of a full moon, the uncovering of an eclipse and the deep, deep emotions of scorpio (with a zing!).  

On top of it we have Mercury retrograde which is all about transforming how we communicate.

Pluto retrograde which is about facing our shadow sides, the bits that we have shunned and don’t want to accept.  Revisiting old patterns and being willing to burn them in the fires and go through the process of transformation and regeneration.

And this all happens in the South Node which is about karma, the collective karma. 

So we are going to see massive shifts and changes happening on a global scale, let alone a personal one. 

And remember, eclipse energy is in play for 3 months!

Thus, I invite you to look at this time as a Threshold.  

Now what do I mean by that?

When you think about the word Threshold, what comes to mind?  A doorway?  A gateway?  A portal? A remembering?

As we move through any change or transition, there is a sense of fear filled with expectation. Think about when your children left home or you ended a career, moved across the country, started a new relationship, ended an old relationship, lost a loved one etc.  Even going to the grocery store!

These are all thresholds, (as are the doors we walk through).

A Threshold is a liminal time.  

A space where we are between the old and the new.  (Which is what liminal means aka threshold).  

Often, when encountering thresholds, we talk as if our work is that of successfully “passing through” them. We speak of “making healthy transitions.” We seek out advice and support as we decide which thresholds to lean into and which to resist. The goal, it would seem, is figuring out how to travel forward in the right way.  But what if we looked at it a different way?

 “A threshold is a space to imagine a new way, and a new self. Not moving or pushing but sitting and cultivating… The goal is to allow you space and time to reflect on your past, present, and future.  To imagine a new beginning…”

Rev. Sara LaWall

What if a Threshold isn’t a place that you cross, but a place that you pause?  A place that transforms you?

 What if the invitation is to ask yourself daily:

What do I want to bring with me and what do I want  to leave behind (or keep out) as I move through this threshold?

As I was yomping on the weekend, in a “new to me” place.  I followed a path that led to a trail that led to the cutest “English Country” laneway that felt magickal.  There were comfrey, lilacs, sweet cicely, and a myriad of other plants growing wild on the edges.  My heart swelled with remembering and massive delightful joy.  I had found a threshold, and it brought up so many delicious things for me.  

So review the questions above and I leave you to ponder them.  

Okay, with all that being said – let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share their wisdom and insight with you this week, the glorious “Love Your Inner Goddess” guides came out big and bold.  Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to).  

“These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth. 

Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world.  We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK.  Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense.  She wants so much more for you.  She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny. 

She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart.  She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you.  You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true. 

There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed.  Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity. 

She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart. “ 

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time.  Woosah!

So gorgeous one, breathe.  Just breathe, BE and allow yourself to relax, your mind to calm, your breath to slow and ask your wise inner self – what do I need to know this week.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your heartstrings – don’t let your mind pick!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

ON YOUR OWN TERMS

You are not the person you once were.  You know it, but others might not always be ready to let the old you go so easily.  Do not allow yourself to be shoved back into patterns of behaviour that are not true to who you are now.  You have worked hard to grow and become this new self.  Believe that she is more real than the old you, even if she is less familiar to others (and maybe even to you) at this stage.

All that will change, and what is new now will become familiar and easy for you to sustain in the near future.  Be stubborn in a good way whilst you – and others around you – come to realise that the new you is the real you.  

Others may offer their input, but when it comes down to it, it is you alone making your life decisions.  Your choice may once have been to meet the expectations and honour the opinions of other people – but you are aware now that the best choices for you actually honour your own heart, irrespective of whether others understand your reasons or feelings.

You now know that you don’t have to wait for permission.  You get to choose how you want to feel, how you want to live, and who you want to be.  You’re ready for the responsibility and sweet reward of living your life on your own terms.  

WARRIOR GODDESS

This is not a time to play it safe, nor is it time to allow another to take the lead in your life.  You need to believe in yourself and trust that the instincts guiding you are correct.  If you need to take action, do it.  Speak up: say yes; say no.  Trust your inner truth completely.

Be bold.  

The Universe will answer your boldest actions with affirmation, and you’ll move through the consequences of your actions with grace and courage, ending up exactly where you are meant to be.

You are ready.  Life has been preparing you.  Your experiences have made you stronger and wiser.  You have spirit and you have courage.  Believe in yourself!  You are a Warrior Goddess, and empowered, divine woman.

Trust that your foundations are strong.  Put your faith in the Universe.  It has been your life coach and guide all along, helping you build up your inner resources, encouraging you to realise the power that has always been within you.

The Universe believes in you.

When you feel it is time to take a step, take it with confidence.  When you ask for help from the Universe, ask with boldness and total confidence that your prayers will be answered in the best possible way.  You have the right to require that your personal space be respected.  You have divine permission and encouragement to claim your rightful place in the world.  You are meant to say no to behaviour that is dishonest, manipulative and bullying.

The warrior goddess uses her sacred anger to set a boundary and speak her truth, not to attack another.  She uses her inner fire to live with integrity, even if the right choices for her seem hard or frightening at the time.  She knows that the Universe has her back, so she is willing to be true to herself no matter what.  

She places integrity above all else.  She knows that compromising her self-respect to win a battle will end up losing her the war.  

YOU ARE THE LIGHT

You are going through a spiritual initiation.  This is happening because you are ready for it, even if it doesn’t always feel that way.  The way to pass this test is to rely on the light within you.  Don’t let fear or doubt make you distrust the path ahead.

Don’t let fear or doubt make you distrust the path ahead.  Don’t give in to despair or believe that things will not work out.  You are learning to trust that the Universe knows what it is doing.  There are great and beautiful things meant for you, and no matter what appears to be right now, they will come to you in the perfect way and at the perfect time.

Light is powerful.  Some people don’t understand this.  The fear in their hearts makes them cynical.  That fear stops them from seeing what is true.  In the absence of truth, they hold on to their judgements instead.  They scoff at what they don’t understand.  Be careful of allowing such people to influence you.  

It’s not wise to take advice from people who are investing in creating pain.  You can have compassion for them, but you must not underestimate how their negativity can taint your trust in the Universe.  When we feel the light within us, when we trust in it, we are able to move beyond the fear and negativity that exists in this world.  You have it within you to be that light.

The only thing that can trap you is the choice to believe in the negative and give in to the fear.  

That’s not you, so don’t choose that for yourself.  Don’t listen to people who would cause you to question the light.  The light within you is the real you.  

Be at peace, beautiful one, for the positive power of the light in you is stronger than any darkness.    Keep your faith in the light.  All will be well.  

Holy Hannah, you seriously can not make this shit up! Releasing old patterns, being bold and being the light.  Now more than ever we all need that!  So delicious lovely, I wish for you a fabulous week filled with ease, joy and deep belly chortles.  May you always remember how special and important you are and that the world needs YOU!  Big hugs and squeezes.  See you in 2 weeks!

Mothering and the Blood Moon Eclipse.

· ·

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As Forever shares:

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

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

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

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

Always be grateful for the truth.

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

Okay, enough chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading.  The cards that were most adamant to come and guide this week are The Oracle of Shadows and Light.  Now if these guides are new to you, let me introduce them (as that’s the polite thing to do), Wisdom for Misfits, Mystics, Seekers, and Wanderers.  Bittersweet.  Unheard.  Unconventional. Rebellious. Cheeky…Whimsical…Invisible.  They’re not the words you often hear associated with the spiritual world, are they?  Nevertheless, some of the most spiritual beings who have ever lived are those who have been most at odds with what we call the mainstream.  They do not fit in.  They have had moments of despair.  And they know being truthful, and being real, is one of the greatest strengths and spiritual paths of all!  They ask you to step out from the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and to consult with an oracle that acknowledges your individuality and strange genius!  How’s that for a warm welcome?

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

The flowers are lovely Bachelor Buttons and Poppy petals.

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a peek!

TWO KITTENS

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

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

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

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

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

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

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

THE FAERY BEE

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

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

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

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

Beltane is Almost Here so Welcome in the Fae and the first Eclipse of 2022!

· ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Manifesting, Majestic, Mesmerising, Mysterious, Memorable Monday!  How are you on this glorious day?

So good to be back!  It feels like it has been forever since we last connected, but in fact it has only been two weeks!  How was your Easter?  Did you get out and play, hunt for choccie eggs and do something fun?  I hope so!  

Our Global Healing Circle was amazing, we raised funds that were donated to the Ukraine and the glorious emails sharing your Spirit Animal Guide and Heart Crystal descriptions were amazing.  Thank you to all who participated.  If you would like access to the amazing guided visualisation that was created for that special day, and can be activated at any time.  You can still access it Here.  

Before we chat about the upcoming Eclipse, let’s talk about Beltane, which occurs on May 1st.  

I love Beltane, I love it because it is fiery, passionate, intentional and produces results!  I especially love it as it’s the time when the veil between this Earth and the Fae is exceptionally thin.  So Magick abounds, and to help you tap into this amazing energy I have a FREE GIFT for you (read on)!

Beltane is thought to be one of the more important festivals of the Gaelic calendar.  Beltane is a Fire Festival. The word ‘Beltane’ originates from the Celtic God ‘Bel’, meaning ‘the bright one’ and the Gaelic word ‘teine’ meaning fire. Together they make ‘Bright Fire’, or ‘Goodly Fire’ and traditionally bonfires were lit to honour the Sun and encourage the support of Bel and the Sun’s light to nurture the emerging future harvest and protect the community.

Beltane is the halfway point between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice, making it easy to see why Beltane is typically associated with creativity, prosperity, hope, fertility, and sexuality.

The Beltane fires of yore were a time of revelry, pairing and celebrating fertility (there were lots of babies born 9 months after the celebrations!)  Also, cattle would be led between two fires for protection and to encourage a strong, fertile herd.  Holy wells were visited and feasts were had.  Rowan was often used in Beltane festivals as it’s a tree of protection and healing. Branches of Rowan were placed as protection over the doors of houses and barns at Beltane to protect from increased Faery activity as they woke from their winter slumber.  (As they can be rather cheeky!)

Sprigs were worn for protection also. Rowan berries have a tiny five-pointed star on the bottom reminiscent of the pentagram.

So all in all a great time to celebrate, set intentions, fertilise either self or ideas and have a grand jolly time and invite the Fae to support you!  

This is where your wonderful Free Gift of the Beautiful Beltane Book will guide you, support you and inspire you to deepen into this rich potent energy.

Think about those wee seeds of intention that you planted at Spring Equinox, they are starting to push their way up towards the sun.

But I guess the question some people have is – “Why bother marking the day?”  Good question, and my answer would be because it connects you to something bigger, older and deeper than our modern day to day.  

I love the way Donna Henes puts it:-  Ceremonial observance adds lucid layers — depth, dimension, drama and distinction — to our lives, making the ordinary seem special, and the special, extraordinary. Through the practice of ritual we are privileged to experience ourselves as prepared, present, passionate, principled and potent. When we set aside the quality time and claim the psychic space for ceremony, when we assume the authority to do so, we are able to transform our perceptions, our perspectives, our experiences, and in the process, our reality.

When we live in alignment with the seasons, our souls unfurl and flourish.  We are more connected to our intuition, our magick, each other and the earth.  

We walk a sacred path everyday.  

Which totally ties in with the Eclipse on the Taurus New Moon the day before!

“On April 30th, the Moon will Eclipse the Sun giving us the first Solar Eclipse of the year.

Solar Eclipses always fall on a New Moon, and while this is only a Partial Solar Eclipse, it is still ultra-potent and carries the weight of a hundred New Moons!

New Moons always represent new beginnings, so this Eclipse is likely to open doors, open windows, and draw entirely new paths for us in the cosmic skies.

The keyword for this April Solar Eclipse is opportunity, so if there is something you want, this is your cosmic invitation to connect with your heart’s desire and see what flies in.

While New Moons are typically powerful moments in the month for manifestation work, under a Solar Eclipse it is actually better to go with the flow and trust what the Universe brings our way.

Eclipses activate our soul contract and tend to bring fated events that help us get to the next chapter of our spiritual evolution.

Eclipses can always take us by surprise, but it is worthwhile remembering that they always put us where we need to be, even if it doesn’t feel like it at first! In fact, Eclipses can accelerate our timeline, bringing forward things that were ultimately inevitable. Things can happen quickly under an Eclipse!”

So are you paying attention?  Do you see all this potential energy to work with?

To support you with all of this I am gifting you the glorious Beautiful Beltane Book (fondly referred to as BBB), filled with lore, rituals and ways for you to embrace this glorious energy.  

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading!  When I went and asked which cards wanted to come out.  The cards that wiggled and jiggled to come and guide this week are the glorious Isis Oracle.  

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.”

Okay, take a moment to come back into your body, allow your shoulders to nestle down your spine and just breathe long and deep.  When you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

PORTAL OF LIGHT

She Glides on Wings through Time and Space.

It is only this physical reality that is bound by time and space.  You are a being who is conscious on levels beyond the physical world.  You are guided to work with your healing powers beyond the confines of time and space and to allow your sense of Self to expand.  It is safe for you to do this now.  You will not become ungrounded through such spiritual growth.  You are not leaving your earthly awareness, you are instead adding to it.

You are growing in power and awareness.  You have had breakthrough insights where you realise that you are not who you thought you were, you are in fact a much vaster being.  Sometimes this was shocking and uncomfortable, and difficult to accept.  At other times it was gentle and made much sense to you.  You are learning to integrate this awareness of your vast Self into your life.  The practical consequences of doing so are extraordinary – to live with less and less fear and insecurity, to become more detached and more passionate, more loving and less demanding, to need less and receive more, to feel more joy and exert less force to attain it…..Such wonderful gifts await you!

Isis guides you to powers and abilities to heal that are beyond time and space.  It starts with the realisation that what has happened in the past has power over you only to the extent that you allow it.  The portal of light is being opened to you now to travel through time and space to release the past, to open up to a bright future and to call for more power in the present moment.  

SCALES OF BALANCE

Ancient Tantra of the Soul

You are in the process of sacred relationship healing of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminineenergies within your own Soul.  This is the advanced spiritual path of Tantra.  It is the connection of the body and Soul.  The effect of this inner divine relationship healing is genuine enlightenment of the mind and the body.  The body becomes a living sacred temple of light, energy and wild aliveness.  This embodiment can be experienced in movement, in deep stillness, in vitality and in quietness.  

You are a Tantrika, a sacred priest/priestess of the Tantric arts.  Some people mistakenly believe that Tantra is simply about sexuality, but it is in truth the journey of the Soul to bring masculine and feminine polarities into wholeness, love, unity and empowerment – to learn to be the enlightened path in every element of your being.  This is Soul-building work that is in great service to the spiritual healing and evolution of humanity, which is a deep need of those such as yourself.

You are guided to accept this healing through learning to balance the masculine and feminine energies within yourself and your relationships with others.  Balancing give and take, directing and flowing, play and solitude are ways to do this now.  Learning to feel as comfortable as possiblewith your sexual and spiritual nature, seeing how they can complement rather than compete with each other is helpful too.  Connection with the body is the most powerful form of healing for the feminine energy as it holds the secrets to Divine Feminine wisdom.  

You are encouraged to explore Divine Maculine and Feminine healing with yourself specifically at this time.  This may involve forgiveness of past relationships with significant males or females in your life.  It may also require an adjustment of softening to allow in feminine wisdom, or cutting out some distraction or draining situations that minimise your sense of your own power and capacity.  

MAGICK AND RITUAL

Crafting Sacred Practice

Effects in the external world can be created through inner practice.  Magick and Ritual can support your Divine Path now in the physical world and you are encouraged to enhance your power with regular practice.  The results that you experience will encourage you to continue with the practice as you grow in power, grace, love, ability and wisdom, and apply your inner beauty to transform your outer world.

For us to grow empowered and potent on the Path of Ancient Feminine Power we need to honour our knowing and being and cultivate sacred practice.  Sacred practice becomes the habit of growing our spiritual power and consciousness.  Like a garden needing regular care and watering to blossom and flourish, our inner garden of the Soul, where our creativity, joy, spiritual gifts and bliss bubble away, also needs regular attention.  Coming to our practice takes strength and inner will – even though it can feel amazing, we still have to wake up, set aside time and discipline ourselves to show up for our own inner growth.  We will reap the benefits when we do, but we must allow ourselves to fall in love with our practice, to craft something that really speaks to us, so that we want to do it.  The desire and the discipline together help us engage with our practice regularly and we can grow so fast it can be quite shocking!

You have great power and wisdom within you, but you need to provide channels for it to flow and be active and empowered in your physical life.  Sacred Practice is such a channel.  Without these channels, the ego is left to create on its own which is not much fun at all!  The ego believes in fear and separation and no matter how much it may want to feel love, bliss, connection, joy and fulfilment, it really cannot do it without your spiritual presence in life.  Ritual and Magick, as a form of sacred practice, are recommended for you as a way to bring more spiritual presence into your waking life, to heal and support the ego as you learn to create a life that feels better and brings you and others more fulfilment.

What a delicious reading!  Talk about the perfect energies to go along with Beltane, magick  and the fiery passion!  Don’t forget to receive your Beautiful Beltane Book.  Wishing you a stupendous, fertile, abundant week filled with flowers, song, and laughter.  Huge hugs and squeezes!  See you next week!

Will You be at the Healing Circle this Full Moon?

· ·

Happy Marvellous, Magnificent, Magnanimous, Melding, Magickal, Mysterious, Manifesting, Miraculous Monday!

This is a beautifully intense week – and what do I mean by that? 

On April 16th when we have the Full Moon in Libra where we are holding a “virtual” healing circle, to raise funds for the people of the Ukraine.  As I mentioned last week, many of you have asked if I would hold a circle and so I as I felt into it and waited until my spiritual posse said “NOW” (and believe me, they don’t give much notice when they do things like that.  

This Healing Circle is for self, for family, community, The peoples of the Ukraine and globally, as we all need to come back to centre, to heal, to feel supported and to support others.  An amazing 20 minute guided visualisation and meditation has been created for this time and is by donation (pay what you can), my goal is to raise over $3,000 to donate.  

Then at 7am PST no matter where you are (you could be in the bath) you stop, stand still, drop into the visualisation and connect to the thousands of people who will be doing the same.  And together we weave a web of intense healing, support and love. You don’t have to worry about hopping on Zoom, meeting in person – it’s about setting the intention to heal and share your healing with others.

When we harness the power of the collective at this level we create miracles for ourselves, our communities and for everyone!

Why is it happening on Easter Weekend?  There are 3 reasons.  

The first one is:– as you sit down to a delicious Easter dinner, surrounded by friends, family, pets in a warm dry space there are thousands of people who can’t.  In the Ukraine, people have lost their homes, family members, their livelihoods and fear looms over like a dark cloud.  4.5 million people have had to leave their homes and their country.  Perk on that for a moment.  

The second reason is that on April 12th  we have Jupiter and Neptune coming together in the sign of Pisces.  The last time this happened was 166 years ago!  Their meeting in Pisces is arguably the most intense energetic combination as Jupiter is considered the ancient ruler of Pisces and Neptune is considered the modern ruler.  

This energy combination is also a classic signature for spiritual awakening.

“All things in the spiritual realm can expand, flourish, and grow under this energy. We may even find ourselves exploring new understandings of life beyond life or connections with otherworldly beings. 

Under this energy, we may feel the desire to create deeper spiritual connections, and that inner divine flame that lives within may call out to us more and more.

On its highest vibration, Neptune is the planet of unconditional love and Jupiter is the planet of expansion. As they join forces, we can be reminded of our connection to each other, and the love that flows within and around each and every one of us. Rather than seeing division, we can see that we are connected, that we all deserve love, and that separation is just an illusion.”

Under this energy, the Universe will be offering waves of energy that support unity, coming together, and enhancing life on this planet for all.

The third and last reason is that it is the Full Moon in Libra. If there was a slogan for this Libra Full Moon it would be – “something’s gotta give.” It seems that wherever there has been tension, whatever has been pulled too tightly, is going to snap back, forcing us to make changes and to find a new way to harmony.

This Full Moon brings to culmination the intentions set back in October.  Where were you in October?  How were you feeling?  What did your heart desire?

One of the planets very active under this Full Moon is Eris.  “Eris is a powerful warrior that moves from her feminine instincts, not her masculine ones. Her warrior-like nature comes from her heart. She is the mother that can lift a car in order to save her baby. She is the witch that is strong and confident in her magic. She is the woman that owns her sexuality and knows she is desirable.

No matter our gender expression, when we work consciously with the energy of Eris, it helps us to embrace our darker feminine side, the side that is shunned by society the most.”

As Forever shares;

Allow the flame of your feminine power to be ignited under the magic of the Full Moon. Allow the warmth of this flame to remind you of the lost wisdom and magic that the feminine possesses. Allow the flame to rise, so you can bring a higher balance to the masculine and feminine energies that flow across the globe.

Now do you understand the intention behind the Healing Circle being on April 16th?  We can harness the power of the collective magic and we can harness the power of nature magic, as well as planetary.  

Ready to create some massive healing and support for yourself and others, I hope so?  

Okay, I have chuntered on enough, so let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to support, guide, lead and empower I laughed my soxs off.  Two decks decided to have a face off!  Positively perfect!  After all, who doesn’t need a blessing right now – and if you remember when you bless yourself or anyone it comes back to you threefold.  Blessings are incredibly powerful!

So gorgeous bean, breathe deep.  Take a moment to really come to your centre and then pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

A BLESSING OF THE SHINING ONES

The Faery gift so that you, too, shine with an inner radiance.

Let this gift from the Shining Ones bring you blessings of your own abilities to shine the world, beloved one.  

You are now given the gift from the realm where once the great Tuatha de Danann, the People of the Land, of the goddess Danu, the old faerie tribes of ancient Ireland, ruled and kept the balance of all things.

They bless you now with the gift you need most at this time.  Simply close your eyes for a moment, and see the glow, the radiance emitted by the energy within and all around you.

Now, see that shining self begin to grow stronger, and larger, and more visible to your spirit eyes.

With this gift, your radiance is strengthened, so that now you shine within the world, and can be seen, recognised, and offered good fortune and bounty.   Your light is a lamp for the world, and it is beautiful to behold.  

This time will bring unexpected kindnesses and easeful movement in achieving goals that are best for your soul, as well as a sense of being recognised and cared for by those who have that touch of shining blood within them, too.

Blessings of the Shining Ones, to you, friend.

A BLESSING ON YOUR HEALTH

A blessing to inspire the blossoming of great health within your life.

May you, friend, be blessed with a rising of your own personal vitality…may life force flow into every cell of your body, inhabiting each fully with the desire for life and the yearning for the full feeling of all that is here for you to experience.  

May the cells in the blood sing their song with joy at being here, and may your bones be strong, and whole, densely knitted in the joints to keep you upright, ever moving into the next step, a dance of love for the feeling of the world.  

May the muscles take shape and move with your form, and may there be flexibility and the great gift of movement for you.  May your organs do their holy work, and may the health of the mind, curious yet peaceful, awakened yet rested, be yours.  

May the energy that belongs to the hale be yours, and may your every footstep bring a little more vitality, a little more joy in movement, a little more of a blessing to simply be here, and in such good health.  

May you know peace within the temple of your body, and may a revival of energy be yours, like that of spring after winter, so you have a spirit shining with good health, the energy all about you radiant, an auric field filed with wellness, a field of energy you can drink from, and renew yourself, each day and night of this lifetime.  

May the blessings of good health and joy in your body be yours, and should it be challenged, may you rise and meet that challenge with courage, and security in the wisdom of your blood and bones, flesh and energy field, and may all that brings you wellness come to you again and again.  

A BLESSING OF THE SEELIE

The Faery Gift of the Benevolence of the Good Seelie Court.

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

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

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

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

A BLESSING ON YOUR BOUNDARIES

A blessing on your ability to decide where you end, and where others begin, on what you will do gladly and without regret, and what you cannot be compelled to do, for it would be against your own nature.

Within this lifetime, there will be times when you are unsure of what is most important, and what is best for you to do.  You will not be sure of why you wish to do something, and when it comes to others, especially others for whom we have strong feelings, it can be a challenge indeed to know what is best to do, and to know why we sometimes feel great misgivings when it comes to offering our time, our love, our money and gifts to another for their use.

With this blessing comes a certainty – that in this situation you will know the difference between what is best for you to do, and what another wants you to do.  

May  you be blessed with the sure ability to say no, quietly and without apology to the boss who asks for too much, to the partner who asks you to put your own needs aside for theirs.  

May it now be clear to you when a friend fails to listen and reciprocate, and when  you give, without being given to in return.  

May this blessing draw clearly the lines that mark out your own emotional landscape, and make a map of who you are, and where  you end, so that  you may know when others intrude into your space and mind, your heart and home, without invitation.

With this blessing of boundaries let there be respect, and consultation, and a renewed appreciation of your own needs and desires.  May this blessing give you the power to close a door, to open a window, to ask for help in return, and to support yourself by beginning to respect and acknowledge what it is you need.

And with this blessing, these powers you will now have.  

There we have it!  I love the cards that decided to come out and share.  I wish for you a Blessed Easter celebration, I hope you join in the Healing Circle and offer your healing and support to those in need, and remember – put your crystals out on the Full Moon and embrace the Neptune/Jupiter energy.  See you in a couple of weeks as Monday I will be playing with my family and dancing with the Spring flowers.  Massive hugs and squeezes.  May you be Blessed.
