With Mercury Retrograde in Pisces, Grounding is Important. So let’s make a Trifle!

Happy Magnificent, Mercurial, Magickal, Manifesting Monday Delicious Lovely! Today is a delightful holiday here – Family Day – so I’ve been hanging with the mob and as the sun has been shining, gardening had to happen! Thankfully where I live the Parks department of the City creates a huge, massive pile of hot, steamy, well aged compost (soooo love the smell). So I hauled a truck full of it on the weekend, weeded, gently moved renegade blue bells to a new spot and popped all the stinkiness into the garden. Yum!!! I revel in talking to the plants, advising the weeds they need to politely depart and exploring all the little buds and strivings of green shoots that are pushing up getting ready for Spring. Makes my heart soar and I find it is a fabulous way to let visions flow.

We have lots to explore today and we are going to play with the analogy of making a Trifle (work with me here), to explain everything for this week. You ready?

Today we enter Mercury Retrograde! Whoot, whoot! (Can you say, hold onto your bloomers?) So as we know Mercury is the planet of communication, mentality, thinking patterns, rationality and reasoning, and adaptability and variability. So yes we can sometimes get a tad lost and a bit like Chicken Little running around saying “Mercury is retrograde, Mercury is retrograde! But prior to running around like Chicken Little, let’s think of Mercury Retrograde as the Jelly in the Trifle okay? Wobbly, interesting and sometimes slips off your spoon.

When Mercury enters into retrograde, it guides us to tap into the unseen, hidden realms of our mind. It helps us to tune in and listen so we can become better communicators, on all fronts. While things in our outside world may feel a little chaotic and all over the place during a Mercury Retrograde, it is our inner world that is calling to us.

This is the perfect time to really take the time to investigate some of the leftovers from the past. Now what do I mean by that? Let’s say every time you think of your sister there is a resentment about something she did or didn’t do. Therefore this resentment is taking up space in your head and heart, holding energy blocked instead of allowing it to flow. Time to let that puppy go and welcome your own energy back clear, clean and fresh. So if you experience any “tweakiness” during this retrograde take a moment to look at if it’s coming from outside of you or from inside. If it’s yours and it’s holding old energy that can be better used in the present day. Let it Go! If it’s coming from outside you (like your partner, your kid), you have no control over other people, places, situations and things. So don’t let your energy get sucked down that rabbit hole.

So then to add to it, we are in the Waning phase of the Moon. In other words, we have had a glorious Full Moon and now it’s getting smaller and smaller as the New Moon approaches. It’s a re-lease, re-flect time, a re-trograde time! (This is the custard of the Trifle).

Then if you remember, the Shamanic theme of this month is Management. This is about really managing our energy, staying out of overwhelm, managing our thoughts and letting go of those sticky pieces of the past that are taking up space. (So now we have the Lady Fingers and Fruit in the Jelly of the Trifle). Lol. Getting hungry yet?

So with all of this swirling around you, the most important thing to remember is to be Grounded. (This is the glorious Whipped Cream on the Trifle that brings it all together.)

When you are grounded, it’s as if you have put huge roots down into the Earth and are being held, supported, nourished and nurtured. So no matter what winds, or energies, or loopy things happen around you, or what someone says to you, you can bend and sway with grace and then come back to center. Aaaahhhh, it feels lovely, yet we so often forget to do it and wonder why at the end of the day we feel fragmented, foggy, overwhelmed, haven’t slept well etc.

There are so many easy, easy, techniques to ground. Drop a grounding cord (you can do this in a grocery store line up – if you don’t know how to do this email me). Cover your crown chakra for 30 secs and breath into your feet. Smudge and set an intention. Stand in tree pose and visualise your roots going down, down into the Earth (I have done this one in meetings!) Hug a tree. Stand on the earth/grass with bare feet and breathe! Follow your breath for a few minutes (fabulous to do when waiting at a red light). Rub your palms together and wiggle your toes at the same time.

The key thing is to do it every day. You can’t set a grounding cord and expect it to stay there for a week or so, yes? So with all these they offer you the space to clear your mind, calm your emotions, manage your energy and let the delicious whirlwind of Mercury retrograde to just tousle your hair instead of blowing you over. Let me know which ones you pick.

Phew, okay, let’s crack on with the reading! (I can so chunter on lol). I will be honest, when I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide this week (and you bet my mind had an idea of what it wanted). I laughed so hard that my tea came out of my nose, not an attractive sight! It wasn’t the cards that my mind were thinking of, but it is the cards that my guides picked. And they picked The Oracle of Divine Circus.

Now if these glorious, cheeky guides are new to me, please let me introduce them – as it’s rude not to. The reason I laughed is these glorious guides are playful, but deep. They think outside the box and invite you to do the same. “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 moment 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. “

Yup, I think they are perfect for this week!

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to be involved are:- Labradorite, Carnelian and Black Moonstone. Oh yes and the glorious Camellia flowers that are popping out everywhere wanted to come and shed some love and light.

So my Delicious Lovely, let’s take a moment to settle in shall we? Just breathe yourself back into your body, imagine your feet on the earth, the breeze gently brushing your cheek and breathe. Allow all the dramas, the thoughts and the worries to seep out your feet and drop into the earth. If you would like some extra support on re-leasing there is a glorious guided visualisation for you. Then when you feel ready and in your heart space pick the card or cards that whisper to you on this delicious day.

Did you remember to pick?

Come with me and let’s go see shall we?

CONFETTI

You will soon have cause for celebration. Whether a big win or a token gain affirming that the best is yet to come, sweet success is headed your way. Prepare to celebrate!

It’s time to find the celebratory spirit within. Maybe you already feel it, or maybe it’s the last thing in the world you can imagine feeling right now, but whether it’s on your radar or not, a cause for celebration is imminent. So can you put yourself in the party mood? It starts with a carnival attitude and a pleasure-seeking state of mind. Can you allow for pleasure? For play?

Oh yes, there is always so much to do, but sometimes all that can happen more quickly and easily another day. It’s time to spend your energy in playfulness. That is the most enjoyable piece of spiritual guidance you are probably ever going to receive – so relish it! Don’t wait another moment to get your celebratory vibe on! If you want more success, happiness and celebration in your life, you can enhance that right now by being happy for the success of others around you. Do you know that success is like a wave? When you genuinely congratulate another and feel happy for their happiness, your own energy field gets a jolt of that same energy. You attract it into your own life. You deserve success for all you are and all you’ve accomplished just as much as anyone else.

Be happy for them and be happy for you as the universe is giving you notice of a party – and you are most definitely meant to attend – and it’s heading your way.

THE GOOD GEISHA

You are clever. You know how to play an impressive game of strategy to win approval and gain allies. Even without always noticing it consciously, you can sense what people want. Sometimes you are so good at showing others what they want to see that you forget how beautiful you are when you are just being you. But your time has come, the time to unveil the one true real you and attract the allies who are not interested in what you can do for them, but who love you for who you really are.

You are ready to opt out of a game that most people play unconsciously. It’s a game of image and appearance at the expense of the true self.

So many people are so used to playing this game they no longer realise they are doing it. They don’t really know who they are and they are afraid to really find out. They live behind masks that appeal to others but slowly starve their authentic self, denying it the opportunity to experience being seen and to receive real love. Any promise of success, love or wealth that begins with you contorting yourself into something you are not is a false promise. It cannot deliver anything worthy of you.

You are not one of those fearful souls, but you know what it is like to have been caged in an invisible prison, a way of thinking and being that is not good for you. In times gone by, your soul has been shackled, your voice silenced, your true beauty hidden under more “appropriate” and “acceptable” guises, your intentions misunderstood and your words misconstrued. You’ve been like a beautiful wild creature, captured as though somehow you could be tamed and changed.

Be unafraid to discover the depths of your own being coming to life. If you do not, you shall bind yourself to a life far too bland for the colour and majesty of your soul. Being what another wants you to be is a false promise of love, and you are destined for love, real, wild, pure and true. Make sure you start by giving it to yourself, then you can share it with others and receive it from others too.

TIGER ANGEL

The Universe needs you. It needs your strength, your guiding hand, your devotion, your goodness and your protection. There are people, projects, ideas and hopes that need your encouragement, your optimism, your nurturing. You have helpful healing power in you. Be confident enough to be gentle and your inner power shall uplift and protect many in this world, keeping them safe and inspiring them to trust in love.

We all have moments where we wonder if we are doing such a great job at this game of life. The idea of helping others might appeal; and yet, when we have our moments of struggle in our own lives, we may question whether or not we are a good candidate to protect, guide and nurture others.

When the desire to create a positive contribution to the world exists in your heart, you must remember that such desire was placed there on purpose, for your life purpose.

There is a truth in your heart, the truth that knows every being is loved and serves to feel safe and live their life in freedom and truth. Your adherence to this truth can tame even the most fearful and resistant thoughts within you and the people around you. Your invisible influence also helps all beings to remember that there is no need for fear, and that together, we can create a world where all creatures are happy and free.

Oh my gosh, how delicious and delightful for this glorious energy time. Wishing you an amazing week filled with the deep sense of ease that comes with grounding, the fiery passion of dreams burbling, the soothing waters of emotional well being and the gentle breeze of knowing and surety. Sending you massive hugs and squeezes! (Psssst, and remember to laugh!)

Simple Abundance, Post Full Moon and Valentines Day!

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy Marvellous, Magickal, Mysterious, Magnetic, Mesmerising, Melodious, Mellow, Manifesting Monday! How was the lovely Full Moon for you? I have heard from quite a few of you that you experienced big releases, and delicious heart openings which are awesome. I took some time that day for ritual and then spell casting in the evening (yes I did say spell casting). It was a glorious spell for Joy activation that is best performed under the Full Moon, so I most certainly did it and it felt marvelous (and my home smelled divine). I went to the beach as the sky was crystal clear and hung out with the waves, the moon and listened to that delicious sound that the waves make as they tickle the underside of the rocks. I also took all my crystals outside to get a divine moon bath!

I have had quite a few emails asking if the Imbolc reading special is still available. You bet, until the morning of the 14th (Friday).

Since the beginning of January I have been working with a book called “Simple Abundance”. What is interesting is that I had this book 18 years ago and it didn’t resonate for me at all – so I gave it away. However, now it does (gotta love how books know when you are ready for them.)

One of the things that I’ve been playing with this last week is seeking out the Sublime in the Ordinary. We all have days where we are ruled by our “to do” list and there are the mundane chores that need attending to, so to keep our daily rounds from being all drudgery, we’ve got to savour the art of the small: discovering diminutive delights that bring us joy, peace and pleasure. For example, when I have to cook dinner, instead of multi-tasking on the phone, listening to the radio and getting frustrated with the veg I need to chop. I have been embracing being present and having fun with the food creation and infusing it with love. When I feel bent out of shape that we have had days upon days of rain, I pull on my rain pants and wellies and hop with delight in every puddle I see! I bought a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and have them on the mantelpiece, and I bought a bunch of primulas and popped them into my pots so I see them every time I leave or come home. Simple things that make my smile and give me joy.

In doing this we really seize the essence of life. Embracing every moment. As Margaret Collier Graham wrote in 1906 – “People need joy quite as much as clothing. Some of them need it far more.” So what are some of the joyful simplicities you can bring into your life?

On Friday we have Valentine’s Day. Which let’s be honest, has now become a Hallmark celebration thanks to Chaucer in the 14th century), the meaning of love has become about romantic love which can be tough for people if they have lost someone, choose to be single or just want something different. According to legend, Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge, and he wrote her a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell before his execution. The Feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honour of the Christian martyr, Saint Valentine of Rome, who died on that date in AD 269.

So I’ve perked what I want to do for Valentine’s and how I want to share and spread love to those I know, and those I don’t. Meringues it is! Little wee meringue nests filled with whipped cream and topped with a raspberry and gift them. Why? Because I believe it is important to remind people that they are loved, seen, valued and important, even the people you don’t know that you walk past on the street. So if any of you want to come over and help meringues, please do and if you know how to make tin foil swans – let me know.

When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to come and guide this week I was tickled when The Oracle of the Dragonfae were adamant. Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you:- These guides are the magickal and mystical that weave through the threads of every day, they are the Dragonfae, Gods and Goddesses who dwelt in dimensional lands….Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu, they are Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin and others – fully alive and filled with magick! They are the deliciously magickal beings that have always been there, we just forgot, and when we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life on this beautiful green and blue planet, known by some as Gaia, by others as Dana, and by many other names.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to participate are Angel Wing Phantom – Tranquility, Peacock Ore – Happiness/Joy and Mookaite – Nurturing/Decision making. The lovely snowdrops wanted to come participate and are now sitting in a wee vase on my desk.

Okay gorgeous one, let’s take a moment shall we? I invite you to breathe in through your nose and sigh it out through your mouth. Allow your breathing to slow in its own way. And as it does invite into your minds eye the conception of Joy. What does it look like? What does it feel like? If you would like a bit more support there is a lovely guided visualisation for you. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards or all of them (there is no right or wrong way) that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Are you ready to go have a little look see?

THE LADY GRIAN

I am of the Earth and of the Sol-star’s light. I am the opening of the flower, the love that lives in the flower of your heart. I love you, and wish for you to draw this love energy into your being.

I am a power source that you cannot neglect. Because even if you feel you are being of winter, and that your heart has grown cold and hrd in order to ease the pain, I tell you that you are now ready to reveal your own life source and warmth to another being. The love you have to share will be appreciated and returned. More so, this warm and loving heart energy will be its own reward, as you awaken again to your feeling nature. Please open your heart in this moment.

Allow yourself to love. See the beauty in warmth, and smile as often as you can. Bring forth your joy, and see the opening of others’ hearts. Wear yellow, red and gold: all the colours of my friend, the Sun, and you will feel a great flow of energy awakening throughout your body and energetic being. Please see that the seeds you planted need warm earth in which to grow. Yes, they can survive when it is cold, but they cannot thrive.

So be warm, extend your energy, and know that your truly radiant self will create great opportunity and abundance around you. Simply extend some heart energy, and I will support you and love you until you are the radiance of the Sun incarnated in your own form.

Love. Be loved. Love.

CHUMARA

Beyond the mask we all wear of identity, beyond the construct of who we have been conditioned to believe we are lies your face, your self. This face is tender and new in so many ways, as you have not shown her to the world before. This face has been protected because the world has seemed and proved indeed at times to be a dangerous and unkind place, where those of us who feel different are proved to be so as we brave the taunts and finger pointing. But I now tell you that your protections, your armour and your shield can be removed safely with me. Do not discard her, as you may need her yet in certain situations. But know now she is your armour and her role is to protect your true being.

To you, I now reveal myself. See? Many have recoiled in horror at who I truly am. I’m a Dragonfae Maiden, a Spider Woman, a being of webs and change and destruction, and re-creation. Each day I must remake my world….I feel along its sensory threads to see what needs reconstruction and what needs to be let go of. For I am, as you are, part of the new web of life – a web of life that embraces our differences and yet understands that we are one.

I ask you today to look at the webs in your life that must be remade and rewoven….. Remove your mask that says “I am this,” and know you are that, but also so much much more.

HIDEKI’S DOOR

I know you wish to reach out, and yet you hold back. I know you feel drawn to knock on this door and to see whether it will be answered this time…and yet you fear so much. You fear that it will not be answered…that the answer or the face that appears beyond the door will not be to your liking…that if you enter, you may never return… I cannot put your fears to rest, for only you can do that. But I can tell you what I see. I see a spirit whose flame has flickered low,, whose light is in danger of going out if it does not take the next step. For years you have passed this door and many times you have found yourself here. You may even have knocked at the door, only to flee, like a terrified child, before the door was opened to you.

I say to you now: it is time. Reach out. Knock at the door. And let what will be, be.

Nervous about a new chance…feeling as though your comfort zone is far better than the unknown; longing to travel and to change, yet unwilling to do anything about it; procrastinations and old habits keeping you from reaching out and accepting what is being offered. You are ready…it is simply nerves that are holding you back, conditioned fears and internalised voices from the past. Reach out…take a hold of the handle and be ready for the wonder of the unknown that lies beyond the door. The doors of perception are about to change…forever.

You have nothing to fear, except fear freezing your hand, again. Knock on the door. All is well.

Ahhhhh, lovely! So my delicious lovely, remember the Imbolc reading special is only until the morning of the 14th, if you want to take advantage of it. Have a stupendous week and please play with seeing the Sublime in the Ordinary and breathing in and becoming a delicious beacon of love. Remember you are precious and important and have so much to share. Big hugs and squeezes!!!

Imbolc, February Energy Shift, Full Moon in Leo, And a Reading Special!!

Jenny Heston · 12:01 am ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Meditative, Mind-Blowing, Meritorious, Musical, Motivational, Mesmerising, Manifesting Monday! (How was that for alliteration?) How are you delicious lovely? So much to share with you this week with Imbolc (we will get into that), February Energy Shift, a Full Moon in Leo happening and you asked and I listened!

So grab a cuppa and let’s natter, yes?

Okay Imbolc was yesterday. Now you may be scratching your head and thinking to yourself – what the heck did she say? Imbolc (yes it does sound like it’s looks). Imbolc is a Celtic fire festival celebrating the emerging life in the world around us as well as the Goddess Brigid who represents the fire of creativity, the protective hearth fire and her firewheel all of which cleanse and purify. Imbolc is a celebration, because for those of us in the mid winter it promises us emergence, growth, renewal and hope and massive cleansing and purification. Imbolc is the halfway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox and occured on February 1st/2nd.

Okay Jenn, what’s that got to do with me?

Well whether you realise it or not your body is connected to the seasons, to the energy underneath you, around you, above you and in you. Imbolc is one of the seasonal changes on the Wheel of the Year. However, the Wheel of the Year is more than just the seasonal changes from spring to summer to fall to winter. It also encompasses the 8 holidays, or sabbats. Each of these holidays has its own energy and its own place in the cycle that influences. Imbolc brings us the burgeoning Spring energy that feels like a whisper or a possible promise, it’s the gestation time. The time to get clear on what you want to create or bring into your life. If you want to go deeper and explore some rituals and more information on Imbolc, come on over!

Also, quite a few of you have emailed and messaged me saying you missed out on the Winter Solstice reading special and was there going to be another one? Yes! In honour of this gestation time there is an Imbolc Reading Special from today until Valentines, with 3 new Readings added as well! Yes? Thus, it will run for 12 days, but as the spots fill up the special will become unavailable. And don’t forget, you can gift these to others, which a few of you have done! (Which I think is superb!)

Okay, onwards and upwards. We also have another energy shift on a Shamanic level and the energy for this month is “Management”. And of course the best person to explain it is Lena! We initiated the year with two eclipses stirring the pot of intensity creating numerous opportunities to crack open the potential for growth, expansion, new ideas, and intentions. The energy has been forward moving, barely allowing us to catch up with ourselves enough to sift through the bounty and put it all in order. We are faced with the danger of falling back on what we know, where we are comfortable, putting all our energy into what is familiar rather into something new that has landed in our field.

Management as a theme for this month covers management of your inner life as well as the management of your outer life. Management is a responsibility for what you do now with your new-found inspiration even if you see a challenging road ahead. There will always be an aspect of inner management as well as one of outer management. Inner management has to do with lessons learned and the discipline to change belief systems, patterns and perceptions that only you can change. Outer management has to do with the practices, habits and behaviors that come from those belief systems, patterns and perceptions.

Last but not least we have a glorious Full Moon in Leo on either the 8th or 9th (depending on where you are!)

This is a delicious Full Moon and the second one for 2020. The February Full Moon falls on the 8th or 9th of the month, depending on your time zone. It rests in the sign of Leo, and its energy comes to tend to the fire that lives within our hearts. It comes to clear away all that dims our light and separates us from feeling connected to our journey.

“Leo is ruled by the Sun, so whenever we have a Full Moon in the sign of the Sun, it’s extra special. When Leo holds space for the Full Moon, it’s like a ray of light shining down on all that feels dark and heavy in our lives. Leo is a fire sign that reminds us to connect with all that lights us up. It reminds us to connect with our inner fire, with our inner Sun, and to remember that life is for experiencing rather than controlling.

What sets your soul on fire? What fans your inner flame? What brings you a sense of purpose as you move through the experiences of life? These are some of the questions the February Full Moon poses for us. It wants us to connect with these questions so we can work on clearing away all separates us from feeling present and at peace with our lives.”

Wow! So with our gestation time of Imbolc we are asked to figure out what lights us up and get clear. The theme of Management invites us not to fall back into the comfort zone and the Full Moon reminds us yet again to find that fire that resides in us and get clear about it. Are you willing?

When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to support and guide this week, the glorious Faery Forest Oracle were most adamant. I was tickled as yesterday I went exploring the woods, hung out with the trees and just noticed all the little random daffs and crocus that are pushing their way up with vigour!

Now, if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it’s rude not to):- “Let us enter the wild green world together, friend, the faery forests where the great trees speak with us, the moss soft underfoot, the light pure and gentle. The homes of the once Sacred groves of the Celts, the Saxons, and the Vikings…and to the people who were here long before we had names with which to call them to us – the faerie people. May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.” Lovely!

The crystals that woggled and waggled (like miniature labradors) are:- Bloodstone, K-2 Jasper, Chrysocolla.

You ready? I invite you to just BE and BREATHE (please don’t tell me you don’t have time, as you do). Allow any heaviness to gently drop to the ground as you breathe long, slow and deep. Let it become cosmic compost to feed and nurture something new. Keep breathing this way and think about the seeds you want to sow in the Springtime, what are they? If you need some more support or want to go deeper, there is a lovely guided visualisation for you.

When you are ready and you feel relaxed, pick the card or cards that call to you, nudge you or kick you in the arse!

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

ISA

Winter has descended upon the Faery Forest. You have ceased struggling and fighting to change what is outside of yourself. Because you have relinquished the battle, you have won the war within yourself. You are now suspending activity and being in the moment. Through this stillness and inner consciousness, you are beginning to understand so much of where you have been and where you will go – and because you are fully in the present and allowing, you can also come to a deeper, more peaceful understanding of what it is you want, value, and desire.

This is a moment of complete stillness and simply be-ing: a long moment where you are completely present. You are as still as a chrysalis, hanging seemingly static from a branch, fragile and mysterious. Like the chrysalis, you will “do” nothing – nothing at all, except become yourself. Your transformation is being worked invisibly, on the inside, and when the time is right, you will share it with the world.

In a situation where you seem to have no control, no power, you are learning the most valuable form of power there is – self mastery. You pause with dignity and strength, and simply by doing this you create the right conditions for the right change.

This time will ultimately bring great peace, wisdom, and choices that enrich your life, others lives, and the healing of the world.

THE GREEN MAN

Not so long ago, all was quiet, dark, and cold…..but something has changed, and it will manifest into your world in significant ways – through you, and all around you. This is a time of renewal, a time of new beginnings and connections for you. Your energy will be extending itself easily, and you will fall in love with the new world you are creating. This is a time for you to actively pursue what it is you wish to create in your life and to acknowledge the presence of the powerful new energies all about you.

Each day will bring these changes, and it is as if life force itself is surging through you, and every cell radiates this bright, strong, fierce new energy.

To be effective, this energy must be directed – not tamed, but given places to flow into – and thus you must choose and shape the energies you are experiencing. Nature and its energies shall pour through you and it is necessary for you to quickly begin to shape these forces in meaningful ways.

This is also a time when you no longer see sharp distinctions between what is outside of yourself and what is within – you feel linked, connected, a part of a great natural magickal whole, and this empowers you into brave, open-hearted action.

Go forward and thrive, dear one!

FRIGGA

You are at a moment of great good fortune in this lifetime. You have created for yourself more than enough, and now the goodness that is flowing to you must be invested and used wisely. It is easy to squander youth or beauty or opportunity, as they seem such an eternal gift – but this card is here to share with you that it is time to ensure that this wonderful moment is worked with wisely. Invest in yourself and in your health, create more wealth, learn and study, and also offer your support and investment to worthy others. Take care of yourself, and truly make yourself into who and what you have always wanted to become.

This time will come around again, but it will not last forever – and so Frigga wishes for you to consider the gifts you are being given, the bounty coming to you, and consider with great vision and earnestness what will provide for you and your loved ones in the years to come. Be ready to act!

Your future can be created now – and the present can become so rich and enduring that nothing can shake your ability to continue prospering – your skills, your home, your mind, your body.

Take care of yourself, and watch the good fortune that flows from your wise investment, for many years to come.

Gosh, this made me smile as it’s positively perfect for the energy at this time! So my delicious lovely, yes the Imbolc reading special is on for a short while, and I have so many wishes for you this week. May you gift yourself with time to focus on your soul’s desires and write them down! May you remember that Spring is coming and take this time to prepare (I have something amazing for you come Spring Equinox!) May you be well, May you be safe, May you be at peace, May you live with ease.

Huge hugs and love! (Oh yes, and glorious mugs of tea!)

Twas the Night Before, the Night Before Xmas and Eclipse Season Approacheth!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Manic, Merry, Melodic, Manifesting Monday! How are you delicious lovely? How was your Solstice? Thank you to all of you who shared with me the ritual(s) that you chose to do from B.O.W.S., I really loved hearing about them!

I will say I had one of the most amazing Winter Solstice days I have ever had. It was interesting, as I chose to practice solo (which is not the norm) and the whole day became a living prayer and a full blown ritual. As a lot of you know when my sister was diagnosed with colon cancer, everyday I would go to the beach, pick up a rock offer up a prayer and a blessing and bring the rock home and put it in a bowl. After she passed at the end of July I had a huge bowl of rocks filled with blessings and love – but what to do with them? As I was unsure and I certainly didn’t want to just dump them, I packed them up in a large box and put them in the back of the closet.

Then I realised I needed to create a space, or a container for them – but I had no clue what that would look like. Then all of a sudden a little while ago I received amazing guidance from Spirit and knew what I had to do (keep in mind I had no clue how to do it!). So I built a gorgeous driftwood tree, why driftwood? Because driftwood has been tumbled, rolled, tossed about by the ocean and with all the pounding just gets stronger and stronger. Friends moved a large rock into the center of my circle garden and I created my tree and then bolted it to the rock. I made the roots cascade down and encircle the rock, holding, loving and strong. Then around the base I put all the stones I had gathered for my sister, as well as all the angel feathers that came to me daily when I was at the Hospice with her. I then rolled little wee pinecones, that I had gathered and dried, in almond butter and then seeds as she loved watching the birds come into her garden and I decorated the gorgeous “Tree of Life” with gifts for the birds. Last but not least I twined little white lights through the driftwood branches, so that day or night it is a reminder.

I was so blown away with how it came out and when I lit it up last night, after welcoming in the dark and smudging my home, my heart frigging soared! I sat outside for quite a while just gazing at it and thanking Spirit for the guidance and grinned like a large, plump Cheshire Cat. My whole day had been a living prayer and it was incredible!

Thus, I highly recommend allowing yourself to be guided by Spirit. To have the trust, faith and belief that you may not know the path or the hows, but it all unfolds in a gentle leading, nurturing and expansion.

So here we are the Monday just before Xmas and the start of Eclipse season!

On December 25/26th we experience a Partial Solar Eclipse of the New Moon in Capricorn.

Now if you remember an eclipse can generate an awareness of something larger, running the show and they poke holes in our ego/identity revealing things within us that we have been avoiding or are totally unaware of.

As Forever Conscious shares:- On a Solar Eclipse, a new doorway is opened that helps to push and advance us further on our soul path. Under the energy of the December Solar Eclipse, we are going to be shown a new path. A new way is going to unfold. This new way may appear subtle at first. Perhaps it will begin as a new thought or a new feeling, and then slowly it will shift into taking a new action.

It’s almost like this Eclipse opens a new stream of energy which we can take and download into our lives.How we download it is up to us and where we are on our journey, but all of us are going to be changed, all of us are going to be awakened in some way.

The energy surrounding this Solar Eclipse is abundant and expansive. There are opportunities here to really plant seeds that will turn into the tallest, most luscious trees.

Now with this being a partial Solar Eclipse the energy of this time lasts for 6 months. Be sure to open yourself and welcome in the shifting, awakening energies this Eclipse brings. 2020 promises something different than the years before, and the doorway to this new wave of energy starts under this December Solar Eclipse.

This is a glorious energy to use to start playing with your WOTY! (Word of the Year). My invitation to you is to spend the next week and a half doing some homework (don’t worry you don’t need to buy funky notebooks and multi coloured pens – unless you want to). Take time and really play with the energy and ask yourself “What do I want more of this year?” Now I’m not talking about – “I want more diamonds”, “I want a shed ton more money”, instead go under those and look at the emotion, the feeling state, the state of BEING and play with asking what you want more of and then when I’m back in the New Year (and New Decade) we will unpack WOTY, okay?

Now that I have rambled on and on, let’s go to the reading (lol, some of you may have already done that and skipped the ramble). When I asked the cards who wanted to come and be your guides I was thrilled to see the Blessed Be guides were most adamant. This is a different type of deck, there aren’t guides per se, but there are – if that makes sense. Please let me introduce you to Blessed Be as these guides are new to you and relatively new to me, allow me to introduce them. “May these cards and guides offer you ways to enter into deeper appreciation of your life and its manifold blessings. May you have hope, understanding and kindness. And most of all, may you know deep within your soul, that thou art blessed.”

Ahhhh, perfect guides for us right now! The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to show and shine are Jade – is a symbol of serenity and purity. It signifies wisdom gathered in tranquility. It increases love and nurturing. A protective stone. Apatite – is a dual-action stone, known for its positive use of personal power to achieve goals. It clears away confusion, apathy or negativity, then, stimulates the intellect to expand knowledge and truth, which may be used for personal growth or for the collective good. Last but not least – Rhyolite – is all about self-love, its radiant energy infusing your spirit with pure joy, like an antidepressant but without any side effects! Oh yes and Selenite for amplification and the glorious little throat feathers from the peacocks that wander around here came to join!

Settle in sweetie. Just breathe yourself back into your body. Let the hurly burly of the day just drop off like raindrops into a puddle. Breathe. Be here now, just at this moment. I invite you to see in your mind’s eye the Divine Mother (whatever she looks like to you), breathe. Then imagine her putting one hand on your feet and one hand on your head and saying “Everything between my two hands is beloved and blessed by the Goddess.”Breathe that blessing in, allow it to swirl through you and know how loved you are. Then when you’re ready; pick the card or cards that wish to bless and support you this week.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a little look see, shall we?

A BLESSING FOR SOLACE AND HOPE

This is a blessing for solace, the comfort that comes in the form of good fortune, strange little moments that bring you back to the sense that the Universe is a place where you are cared for, considered and important, and that this solace bring you hope for the future, and anticipation of the fair things that life will continue to bring you.

Solace is the balm and the antidote to the wounds that life can deliver. It is not personal, for being here is a great gift, and we live in times where, in many ways, we are safer than we have ever been before. But we are fed a diet of hopelessness from our cultures and media sources, until we become overwhelmed with the troubles that seem to surround us. This blessing is for you to find your way back to sweetness. For the flower in bud to release its sweetness, for you to notice the shimmer of light upon water, the sheer pleasure of movement, the ease of a mind no longer racing over problems to be solved, but soft, intelligent, allowing the calm of life to steal back in to your soul.

This is the solace that keeps our hopes alive, the gift of good fortune that reawakens the candle of optimism that is within us, and the delight in the sheer whimsy of being here, and being alive. It is the understanding that there may be little control, but we are no mere pawns in this life – we have our place in the world, and simply with our breathing in and out, we matter, and we are doing enough.

To find solace is to find peaceful moments, small connections, to notice the thousand gifts life has conferred upon us, and it is to again invoke the divinity of existence, without the fear of the future. Let hope give you lightness, draw away the pain, and open you up again to the possibilities, until you begin once again to relish the simple voluptuous truth of being alive.

BLESSED BE.

A BLESSING ON YOUR DAY

“A blessing to bring awareness, to shape and set the energy of the day, and to frame it with light and the possibilities of healing, adventure and gratitude. “

May your soul feel called by the song of the day. May this day be gentle and good, clear and sure, filled with grace and gentle reminders of your own divinity. May the people you meet this day show generosity of spirit, be hospitable and welcoming, and open and candid in all their dealings. May the sky be filled with blue and white, may the green beneath your feet be solid and soft to walk upon. May the rain fall soft and nourishing, and trees whisper to you the secrets that you need to know.

May any challenges you encounter find an answering strength and courage within you, and when you come to your rest this night, may you remember the many blessings this day held, and account for them with the Gods, and be thankful for each of them, no matter how small.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING ON YOUR SLEEP

“A blessing for a deep and peaceful sleep, full of wondrous dreams and long hours where the body and brain can focus entirely upon their rest and healing.”

May you find the blessing of deep, good sleep. May it come to you easily, and when your head touches the pillow, and your body stretches out in luxurious freedom, may you begin to drift immediately between the world of the waking and the world of the dreamer. May the slumber that comes be deep, so that all the extraneous sounds about you melt away, and there is only you, and the otherworld we can inhabit when we sleep, an otherlife, where we dream and explore the wonders of lands that will only ever exist within these visions.

May these dreams bring you food for rich thought in the days to come, wisdom to explore, insights in you own consciousness and being, and beauty beyond the waking imagination. May the body take its nourishment from this gorgeous rest, may the bones strengthen and knit, the mind lose its worries and anxieties, and may whatever has troubled you in the waking hours be released for at least a time, as you enter entirely into this realm inhabited by the wonders of your own deeper self.

BLESSED BE

Ahhh, such lovely blessings and I hope you really take the time to breathe them in and let them become part of you. Wishing you an amazing holiday season. May it be filled with kindness, love, peace, ease and flow. May you always remember that you are precious and important and may you shine your light to remind others of the same. Please practice self care and nourish yourself! I am taking until January 6th off to replenish, relax, rejuvenate and reflect. Thus, let me share a song we end each Kundalini session with.

May the long time sun shine upon you,

All love surround you,

And the pure light within you,

Guide your way on.

Big Blessings, Huge Hugs and Squeezes and see you in 2020.

Have you got Big Balls? New energy shift, a Gemini Full Moon, Hope and Winter Solstice is coming!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Delicious lovely! Happy Magickal, Mysterious, Merry, Melodious, Magnificent, Magickal Manifesting Monday!

How are you? Here the air has literally changed and I can smell that early winter smell mixed with wood smoke from cosy fireplaces. As I go for my big yomps with Danu the wise (but young) therapy doggo I’ve noticed that people are putting up tons of sparkly lights – I so LOVE sparkly lights! Also, when I moved here a year ago I noticed that people decorated their outdoor trees with HUGE, I mean HUGE Big Balls! (Thus very quickly I experienced Big Ball Envy!) So this year I thought – I need me some BIG BALLS! Bright, shiny, sparkly and eye catching lolol. I put this thought out there to friends and random strangers and lo and behold I manifested gorgeous gold crescent moons with a single star on them, big glorious gold balls and …….. Drum roll please! BIG BLUE BALLS! (Trust me, some days I have the humour of a 10 year old boy!) Yup, huge, mammoth BIG BLUE SHINY BALLS! Snort!

A couple of my boys very kindly clambered up the huge cherry tree that is right outside my front door and bedecked it with all the moons and balls (and they even made blue ball jokes). So now when I sit out on my front stoop with a cuppa tea watching the birds flock in I can also chuckle at my big blue balls bouncing in the breeze! (And call to mind that AC/DC song Big Balls).

Okay enough of those shenanigans!

Can you feel it? The change in the season, the change in the energy? We are in the glorious early Winter energy where we are being invited to go into the dark, to go inward, to ponder, perk, plan and prepare! Winter Solstice is just around the corner and I am so thrilled as it is one of my most favourite times of year. I will be putting together a glorious package on rituals, energy and ways of celebrating the Winter Solstice, so make sure you are on the email list. However, the bottom line is very much about – into the dark we go and even more so as we are approaching a new decade!

If you remember the Shamanic energy for October was – Rewriting the Story, November was – Proactive Change and December is “GET PREPARED, BE PREPARED!”

As Lena shares:- “How prepared are you for the future? Do you know who you are, what you want, what you have, where you are going and who with?

If you are traveling to a new place for a new adventure, you have one suitcase to pack. What will you pack? What do you truly need?

Think of moving into the future as preparing for an adventure into a new landscape. This new landscape is mostly an inner one at first that will end up shifting and recreating the outer one as we out-picture our lives from a new perspective, set of values and creative inspirations. We are right up against a huge shift in consciousness that is waking up our instincts and motivation to unclutter ourselves and take only what we need to fulfill our dreams and desires into the future.

What makes you happy, satisfied, fulfilled and content? Knowing who you are is one of the most important ways you can get and be prepared. If you know yourself, you won’t be tempted by false information or other people’s opinions. You will be able to make you own choices that may even go against what you have done in the past. Your motivation for life is what will drive your own personal creativity and direction, and your instincts and intuition should always be included.” You can read more here.

Mixed in with that delicious energy is the last Full Moon of the year and the last Full Moon of the decade! According to the Famer’s Almanac this Full Moon is on December 12th at 12:12 EST and is known as the Cold Moon or the Long Nights Moon. (It’s also the Gemini Full Moon).

This Full Moon is a potent time to say goodbye to the stories of the past and to free yourself from any stresses, burdens, or anxieties that you no longer wish to carry. It is also a great time to bring resolution or let go of anything unresolved that was brewing around the last set of Eclipses in July 2019.

While there is support from the Moon to do release work around this time, there is also a powerful vibration of healing too, which will guide us to retreat so we can feel recharged and restored. This a very gentle and empowering moon so don’t over stress it, but release what you feel no longer serves you. For those doing the glorious Moon Bowl Ritual, this is when you will start taking a stone out a day, still repeating your themed intention!

Yesterday I lit the second candle in my lovely homemade Advent wreath – this is the candle of Hope and Love (it’s also the celebration of the light of plants – plants that reach up to the sun and in the breezes dance). Now the word “Hope” has never been one of my favourite words as I find it is used far too much i.e. – I hope the kids do their chores, I hope I win the lottery, I hope the cat doesn’t cough a hairball on the clean laundry………. So the word Hope always felt a bit banal to me, thus, I went exploring and reading and have to say I really like this definition, it is one I can get behind:-

“Hope is a feeling of trust, a security, and a reason to keep going. It is a passionate desire of our heart. It is a feeling of expectation and a longing for a certain thing to happen.” – Verity Russell

So let me ask – What do you Hope for?

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading. It was quite interesting today, as I know for a fact I was guided to the 3 cards that should be shared and yet when I lay them out there were 4????? Ah well, there is a message here that really wants to be shared! So when I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide and support this week I giggled when I saw it was The Oracle of Shadows and Light. With the invitation to walk into the darkness of Winter Solstice and soon to be Winter, as well as the Full Moon. Perfect!

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them:- 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 came to offer their energy are:- Chrysocolla – new beginnings, starting over, motivation and inspiration, Mookaite -a stone for the here and now and harnessing the earth’s energies. Blue Apatite – increases your appetite for life on your terms and last but not least Ruby Zoisite – Ruby Zoisite has a strong spiritual nature that will also help your consciousness and spiritual learning.

You ready? Take a moment, it doesn’t have to be long – but do gift yourself with a moment or two to just Breathe. Breathe in through your nose long and deep and let it out through your open mouth and as you settle into your body I invite you to see in your minds’ eye the shadows and the light and intertwined amongst both is Hope. Let that float there with no judgment. If you need some support with this there is a lovely guided visualisation for you to work with.

Then when you feel ready, pick the card or cards that call to you or brush against your minds eye.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go uncover, shall we?

FAIRY OF THE HIGHLANDS

It’s time to be brave.

The Fairy of the Highlands does not want to fight; she feels it is not in hernature. She wants to resolve disputes peacefully. But she will fight if it must come to that. And she is showing you now that you too have the means to stand up for yourself – even though you have almost chronically avoided conflict and allowed others to take advantage.

It is time to take up this sword, step into that part of yourself that knows how to take a stand, speak the truth, and not back down when the threat of conflict looms. It may seem unnatural, and wrong, and frightening, and this little fairy knows it. But it is time; and this giving up of what you have worked so hard for in order to avoid conflict or confrontation is no longer right. Take the stand, and hold up the word.

The time of truce is over. It is time to speak your truth and be strong. People have been taking over your ground, wanting what you have worked hard for, without doing the work themselves. They have done so by taking advantage of your peaceful nature. But enough is enough. Sad as it is, it is time to change this, to cut away the cords between you and those who have taken so much, and now you will go into battle. Yes, it is sad. Yes, the Highland Fairy is sad for you. But do not allow sorrow and guilt to neglect self-protection.

Honour yourself, raise your sword, and do not back down!

SEWER MERMAID

Your sensuality is beautiful!

You’re being reminded of the treasures you have that you may have labeled “bad” and perhaps even pushed away, forced underneath. We often have negative thoughts – that we are too short, too tall, our thighs too large, our breasts too small, our hair not right, our face not pretty enough. We speak to ourselves in negative ways, and we begin to feel we are not good enough. And when this takes place, the result can be that we begin to create negative experiences, blockages, and difficulties.

We push away, rather than attract them. We hide for fear that what others see will not be good enough. But this mermaid of the hidden spaces is here to show you that your dark thoughts have told you lies about your great beauty; you are your own self, and all that you are is perfect, whole, and complete. You may try to push her away and refuse to believe that you are beautiful. But when you are ready, she will swim to you and free you from all the harmful, negative thoughts and experiences, all the “sewage”. You will begin to believe that no matter what, you are a beautiful being, healthy, attractive, and one who deserves love, respect, and affection.

It’s time to believe in yourself – that you are attractive, beautiful, and worthy of love and respect. She will show you how to see your body as a place of health, delight, and strength. Let’s clean up your physical and mental acts. Let’s love all aspects of the physical self. Let us not criticise and hate ourselves, no matter our size, shape, or differences. We are all unique expressions of the Divine – and that truth most certainly applies to you. Let us not be ashamed anymore.

Let us celebrate who we are, and learn to love the differences, and be grateful for all that we have, are, and will be.

DRESS OF ALCHEMY

Release your Power!

You have strong, powerful, vibrant energy that changes lives. And with that comes great responsibility. Some people may be eroding their own energy fields with blame, discontent, and choosing the same destructive patterns over and over again. When this being walks in, she shows that it is possible to change deeply and truly, and to become clear, bright, strong, healthy, and very powerful in terms of your energy.

She understands the responsibility – and has worked consistently and with great discipline and earnestness to be able to create. The eyes in her wings make it impossible to ide from the truth of who you are.

It is time for you celebrate who you truly are at this time, to acknowledge you have some energetic debris that needs to be cleared, and when you do this, the gold of who you truly are will shine through, just as these alchemical symbols shine from her dress.

It is no longer possible in this new energy to hide who you are. You must take the time to be truly yourself. There is no cloak to hide within, as you can see: this dress she wears reveals all her magicks and all her secrets. The secrets and the wisdom of the ages are being revealed now more than ever before.

When you have cleared your energy field of the guilt, the fear, the jealousy, and the envy, you will be able to shine brightly, too.

TWO LITTLE WITCHES

Magickal space-clearing time.

From out of the shadows come the Two Little Witches, solemn and sincere. They fix you with their clear green and blue gaze, and ready you for the magick that is the broom they are about to pass on to you! And what is the magickal secret of this broom?

Why, that it can sweep clear any old, stale energy that is lurking about you at the moment.

Take this broom and see it whisk all by itself once, twice, three times, widdershins around your house, your hearth, your home, and it will clear out all that is hiding in the shadows of the corners and the underneath of the rooms of your soul and home! (Widdershins is the traditional direction for clearing energy. It means against the sun, in the northern hemisphere go in counter clockwise direction and in the southern hemisphere go in a clockwise direction.)

When it is done, they clap their hands three times, and the broom returns to their arms, and they move on to the next home that needs their help.

But now that is done, what will you fill your space and your life with? That is the greatest, and trickiest, choice of all, but one which only you can make!

Make the mundane work for you – it’s time to conduct a house clearing, followed by a house blessing. Whenever we make a change, we always rediscover stuff we’ve been hanging on to. Stuff that’s weighed us down, without our even realising it was there.

Time for a space clear for you!

Wow! What glorious cards – how did you feel about the ones you picked? Well delicious lovely I wish you a stupendous week, a glorious Full Moon, may you take time to go inwards and play with the shadows and the light. Over the next bit we will be exploring Winter Solstice, WOTY and a few other delightful nuggets to support you in entering a new decade! Many of you have asked if I am opening up spots for a personalised reading as a Solstice special. I will let you know next week. Sending you huge hugs and squeezes, moments of peace, hope, joy and love and remember – You are Precious and Important! Have a great week!

Oracle cards

The energy surrounding this Solar Eclipse is abundant and expansive. There are opportunities here to really plant seeds that will turn into the tallest, most luscious trees.
