Misplaced Long Weekend, Full Moon in Scorpio, Nature Lessons

Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Manifesting, Merry, Mellow, Monday! How are you delicious lovely? Did you have a splendid week? Here it is a long weekend, but the bizarre thing was my mind was so wrapped up in something else, I totally blanked. So along rolls the weekend and I’m like “What, how did I miss a long weekend and not make plans?” Yup, total brain fart which did throw me into a slight tail spin as I would have normally planned out the whole weekend and be doing, doing, doing (yes I am a doer!) Now don’t get me wrong, ask me when the Full Moon is, any of the Sabbats, the energy of the month all of that stuff – I have it dialed, but I blanked on the long weekend.

So on Saturday (which was the Full Moon in Scorpio) I was pondering what the heck I was going to DO for 3 days without a plan. I kept hearing a whisper – can you just BE with no plan? Can you just SIT with no plan? Can you just PLAY with no plan? Gulp! So I took it for a test drive, I made sure to bang off all errands, tasks etc early on Saturday and then went to an art supply store – why? A few months ago I saw a painting at the Art Gallery that made me suck in my breathe, the colours were so vibrant and it looked “interesting”. It was made with alcohol inks on Yopo paper, so I filed that away for a few months and then when in the art store I grabbed the things to play with this medium. Something I haven’t done in a long while. As I brought my treasures home I could feel the itchiness to be ‘doing’ something, so instead I went and sat out in the garden and then things became even more odd, lol.

So there I am on Saturday afternoon ( the full moon) sitting in the backyard, writing, creating and playing with a new oracle deck (wait until she decides to come out to play, very cool deck). Whilst puppers (aka Danu) was munching on a bone. The sun was shining and I was focused on BEing and trying to reign in my mind, which was berating me with a list of things I should be DOing, when all of a sudden I heard this loud “peep” sound. I looked over to where it was and there was nothing. I turned my attention back to the cards and the sound came again, except even louder. “PEEP”. I look up and around and still nothing, then just as I’m about to turn away all of a sudden this tiny hummingbird appeared in the barren spot I was looking at. He hovered in the exact same spot for a minute, made his sound, shot up at a rapid rate up into the air, and I mean about 60 feet up, and then as if he had run out of gas, plummeted straight down to the earth and just before I thought he was going to hit the ground he did a massive swoop up into the air and went back to the exact (I mean exact) same spot he started. WTF! Do I need to call someone, is this a suicidal hummingbird? He did this 4 more times then vanished for about 5 minutes and then repeated the process. Okay, I’m watching and paying attention, but I still didn’t understand. To me hummingbirds are the representatives of Joy and I have to admit my heart did soar to watch him dance in the sky and perform, so very cool. I then did a bit of research and found he was doing his mating dance, trying to entice the lovely female hummingbirds to him and that I didn’t need to call the Crisis hotline! I then checked out my amazing Animal Speak book and Hummingbirds represent “Tireless Joy and the Nectar of Life, Accomplishing that which seems impossible.”

So with that burbling in my heart and body I really played with the Full Moon. This Full Moon in Scorpio was deliciously intense, all about transformation, or as I like to call it – “transforfuckingmation”. So I made sure to gift myself with time and ritual in the evening to do some powerful releasing and reframing, it was very cathartic. I also filled up a huge jar of water and left it out in the moonlight with all of my crystals and my anathame to be cleansed and charged. Yummers!

On Sunday again I practiced just BEing (gosh it can be tough) and I went back out into the plants and the yard and watched Danu frolic and play and then I noticed this Bee. Not that it was a huge Bee or anything like that but the fact that it hovered in front of my face, approximately 10 inches away and just kept in one spot and stayed there for minutes, would do a swoop and come back – made me pay attention. So you remember that game as a kid where you stare at your friend and who blinks first loses? That’s what it reminded me of! This Bee was amazingly persistent and sometimes on his swoop he would bring a buddy back and they would both hover 10 inches from my face, so close I could see their little furry legs and the shadows of their wings as they moved at light speed. Get this. They did this for an hour! A whole hour! (I so lost the blinking game to be honest). So I talked to them, sang to them, all thoughts went out the window and I just played and focused on them and then all of a sudden I snorted water out of my nose with laughter as I realised I was BEEing! I know Bee is big wisdom and overcoming the impossible but I wanted to learn more, so I did. BEE represents Fertility and the Honey of Life, No matter how great the dream there is a promise of fulfillment if we pursue it.”

Am I paying attention now? You bet! For me these are amazing lessons to be reminded of, it’s been an interesting few weeks. I was so grateful to literally have it thrust into my face in such a way I couldn’t miss it if I wanted to! Gotta love how Nature talks to us and gives us little nudges.

With that all being said, when I asked the cards who wanted to come out and speak on this gorgeous sunny day the cards that wiggled and jiggled to come and guide this glorious week are The 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 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.”

The crystals that were very clear it was their turn are Rhodonite – is a stone of compassion, an emotional balancer that clears away emotional wounds and scars from the past, and nurtures love. Amethyst – It is thought of mostly as a protective stone. As it is linked to the crown chakra, it is helpful in purifying the mind and clearing it of negative thoughts. Selenite – embodies a high vibration energy that works to help you to bring light down from the higher realms into the physical body, to create personal transformation. And as always, a Selenite Wand (which amplifies). Oh yes, the gorgeous Calendula flowers and a sprig of fennel were most insistent. (Nobody need call the flower hotline as they immediately went into a vase of water)!

Okay let’s drop in, ground and get present, yes? I have a lovely visualisation to help you anchor into heaven and earth if you so desire. If not, just breathe in slowly through your nose and then sigh it out through your mouth. Allow yourself to settle and as you do I invite you to welcome in Gaia, Nature, Magick and the whispers. Let them play in your mind space and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that invite you to come play.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we see, yes?

LIFE RESTORED

Spiritual resurrection is gifted to you now. Whatever part of you or your life you thought to be dead is being revived and will flourish back into life. Just as the Phoenix rises from the fire, transitioning from death, into life, so too will you rise again, healed and renewed.

Any trauma, ending, struggle or apparent defeat is not the end of the story for you now. What may appear to be an ending can sometimes simply be the forces of Ancient Feminine Power flowing into new pathways, pulling energy away from old forms so that they can transition into new forms. This can take short or long periods of time. It could be over days or years, weeks, months, decades. It doesn’t matter how long something appears to have been decaying, it will spring back into life at the right time.

Just as the River Nile subtly adjusts its course over time, so too will the River of Light that flows through you, filling you with life force and Divine Energy, move with innate wisdom. You can trust what is happening for you now. Something important to you is coming back to life. It might even feel like you are coming back to life after a period of increasing emotional numbness, physical or psychological struggle or spiritual disillusionment. It might also be a lifestyle, practice, business or relationship – new or old – that is coming to life now.

You are guided by Divine Priestess of the Phoenix, Sister Isis, to turn your face to the Sun. Just as the Sacred Scarab Beetle follows the movement of the Sun, you are encouraged to focus on the light and life that is seeking you now. Do not resign yourself to the way things have been. Let go of the past! Have hope and optimism. The past is over. Enjoy your rebirth.

WINGS OF ISIS

You have a special spiritual relationship with the angelic worlds. Part of your Soul purpose is to birth angelic consciousness and values such as fearlessness, compassion and service, into this human culture. Wings of Isis bring you angelic assistance and intervention, and confirmation that any impressions you may have had that you belong not only to the human kingdom but also to the angelic one, are correct.

This is no small task and although you are well equipped to succeed, there are beings that wish to assist you so that they may grow too and your success may be more graceful and swift. Isis, Divine winged mother, goddess and angel of healing, wishes to assist you with unconditional love now.

You will be asked to lift yourself up to higher and higher vibrational states of awareness and this may mean letting go of certain relationships, practices or states of being or even particular habits or thought patterns that would lower your vibration into fear, doubt or shame. Give yourself permission to just let this happen. You do not need to force anything. It is a matter of softening, allowing and trusting what feels right for you with absolute faith and bold, radical acceptance. It will be OK!

The more you accept this part of you, the more you shall draw into your world others like you. You will just feel comfortable with each other, because you all hold a similar refined vibration. Even in the midst of ordinary, everyday relationship, there is a sense of easy connection, mutual understanding and spiritual acknowledgment. The angels send you love and peace now and say, “We are with you, beloved one.”

KNOT OF ISIS

Each initiate has their own unique spiritual blueprint with particular skills, talents and higher destinies unfolding that use their unique attributes. Part of your spiritual blueprint is a special relationship to the energies of the Goddess. This means that no only do you have the important spiritual task of helping Her thrive in this world but you are afforded Her power, protection and abundance too. You are now deepening your connection to Her.

Part of your High Destiny this lifetimes is to heal and flourish through the Divine Feminine in Her many forms, especially in those forms that truly resonate and hold meaning for you. This healing will happen on your personal path and may well be part of the work that you offer in service to the world (which may be simply in how you live your life.

Your Soul is braiding or twining with the Divine Feminine energies in a particular form. For some that will be a specific goddess and the energetic process will often be strong and deep. The Initiate will feel as if they are integrating the part of this goddess that is not just in them, but is a part of their own consciousness. It is a deeply personal, spiritually powerful and beautiful growth experience for the Soul. This process does not make you lose your individuality.

Listen to your body-soul as it grows with Divine Feminine wisdom and trust that She will guide you, whether man or woman, deeper into your own healing which benefits us all.

Ahhhhh, holy hannah as the reading unfolded I could feel goosebumps on my arms. Okay, the messages are clear, what are you going to do with yours? So delicious lovely, I wish you a stupendous week, one filled with lifting your eyes up to the heavens and feeling your feet firmly on the earth, gorgeous belly laughs and glorious food! Thank you all for your amazing messages and emails, I so appreciate them. Huge hugs and squeezes!

Mother’s Day and De-cluttering Relationships

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

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, abandon, 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. Which in turn created a totally different experience!

So this got me to thinking about Spring; decluttering our homes, gardens, workshops, kitchen cupboards, that one scary drawer that gathers everything from buttons, to one shoelace to a used bandaid. But what about relationships?

Do you ever declutter your relationships?

Now what do I mean by that. I mean sit down and do an inventory of how that relationship is working for you, what you bring to the table, what you receive, how it makes you feel etc. For example, I noticed a while ago that since moving I have attracted female “friends” into my life that most certainly want me to take care of them and look after things for them. Now, this in itself is not an issue if it’s a two way street, however, some haven’t been and there is a feeling of “Jenny will take care of it”. So interestingly enough, even though I could kinda see this I still kept stepping up to the plate, then I noticed that some of these women would be a couple of hours late for an arranged meeting, or would just sit and talk about themselves with no awareness as to what was happening in my life. Ahhhhhh, okay this is an old pattern from family of origin that is surfacing again. Thus, over the last 3 weeks I have really been looking at which relationships feel like a one way street and not ones of reciprocity, kindness, awareness and caring. Do you just cast them aside then was the question I had to ask myself. Some, most certainly yes! Others, I have moved out of the inner circle of relationships and put them more on the periphery, they are still there, but they don’t get the energy and attention that I had poured into them before. I am still open to them changing and growing, but it’s more a case of seeing if the other person is willing to put the effort in from their end, with no attachment to the outcome.

I will say, this has freed up so much energy for me and has released a lot of frustration and feelings of neglect. Have you ever done this? If you haven’t I highly suggest you do, it’s quite an interesting exercise. It also ties in with the glorious theme of AWARENESS that is at play for us this month.

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 the Shapeshifters. Now if these guides are new to you, let me introduce them (as that’s the polite thing to do), These are the magickal familiars, once the companions of shamans, witches, wizards, and wise ones – and now they are here for you. Now is the time for you to undertake a great quest – to rebirth yourself within this lifetime and this quest of evolution does not need to be faced alone. We change and we change again. We fear change. Yet it comes. For us to fear change is as foolish as winter crying for the coming of spring. Change is. Fear corrupts. These guides are here to support, encourage and help you through transformation and to teach you to let go of fear. True , deep change must take place for you to fulfill your soul contract. You may have turned from possibility to what you have convinced yourself is probable: You diminish your possible self, reduce who you are, and dilute your spirit. But even when you have sought to remain invisible and hidden away, and said yes to everyone else, life will find you – and transform you. You are never alone with these beings.” Phew! So there we have it are you ready?

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 tranquility 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 of 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 being come 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 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 import, 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 sonder 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 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 Awareness. How did your card resonate for you? Well delicious lovely, have a fabulous week, don’t forget it is Full Moon on Saturday. Wishing you spring flowers, warm showers, ease, effortlessness and flow and most importantly peace and laughter. Don’t forget you can get the monthly reading at any time in the month as it is a month from the day of the reading. The feedback has been that it’s a very powerful tool for navigating the four weeks ahead. Thank you for all your lovely emails and messages! Huge hugs and squeezes, see you next week.

Ancestral Sense, Awareness, New Moon In Taurus

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Miraculous, Magnificent, Marvelous, Magickal, Mellow, Merry, Manifesting May Monday! Yes it is the first Monday of May – Whoot! Whoot! I have been in awe as to all the glorious flowers that are in bloom and burgeoning.

The other night I was walking the puppers and as I rounded a corner I was thrown back to when I was 9 years old! (Not literally, there was no Tardis around), but by a smell! Wowzer, the heady smell of lilacs was thick on the evening breeze and it took me back to my Dad, I could see him walking in with the most massive bouquet of lilacs he had picked for my Mum and they would be placed in a myriad of vases throughout the house and the smell would waft through everything.

Smell is such an evocative thing and lately I have been playing with what I call Ancestral Sense. Okay, so what does that mean? Think about the scents and smells from your lineage, your ancestors, your aunts – whomever it is for you, the scents that the minute you smell them you feel safe, supported, wrapped up in a big hug of love. For me those scents are ones like Rose, Lavender, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Verbena, Violet and most certainly Lilac. The are what I refer to as “Old Scents/Sense”, they aren’t the common smells that we have now, but the minute I smell them it reminds me of my Great Aunts and throws me back in time to the front parlour, the kitchen, walking in the woods and I can hear the practical wisdom they would share with me at that moment in time.

My Great Aunts and Gran were all amazing, strong, clear Yorkshire women and when I went to stay with my most favourite one of all, my Great Aunt Ciss, all the drawers in my dresser were lined with drawer paper that wafted Lily of the Valley through my knickers and smalls. My Gran used to have little sachets of jasmine, rose and lavender hanging in the closets so I could always guarantee that my jumpers would smell the same. My Great Aunt Barb always had Verbena soap in the bathroom, so whenever I was told to wash my hands it would be with Verbena. When the Lilacs were in bloom my most amazing Dad would always bring home a huge bunch for my Mum as she loved the scent and it would fill the house. In fact when my mothership turned 80 the kids and I were wondering what to gift her for her birthday, so we gifted her a photo of lilacs. Now hang on, this wasn’t like any other lilac photo you have ever seen!! All the boys got naked and there is a glorious photo of them all standing, with backs facing the camera in the middle of a bed of flowers – buck naked. Then the next photo is them all facing the camera, buck naked, with huge bouquets of lilacs covering their bits and grinning like Cheshire Cats! (No one said we were a “conventional” family lol). Last but not least the smell of Lavender reminds me of my big sister. When I was in my late teens I started having anxiety and panic attacks and she would gently rest my head in her lap and slowly and tenderly stroke my nose and temples with her finger that had lavender oil on it until I settled and my breathe was calm. So along with the feelings the smells evoke are also the words that I hear when I smell them. The words of encouragement, love, support and tenderness.

So what smells take you somewhere that represents safety, security, love and the minute you smell them your shoulders drop and your breathe eases?

Because I will tell you, when you figure that out, when you figure out the smells that can literally drop you to your knees in a positive way, make sure you have them and when you are bent out of shape or a tad fed up with the world, breathe out and then deeply breathe them in and feel that sense of love.

So not only has May brought so many glorious flowers and smells to life, but a new energy as well. The energy of May has changed and are you ready to play a bigger game? Let me share what Lena has to say:-

The theme for May is Awareness (remember that April was Truth, Choice and Action)? “ In continuing the themes of truth, choice and action from the month of April, we move them forward into the higher vibration of Awareness. This is the next step for us and it involves becoming more present and responsible for our truth, choices and actions. A less intense month than April action-wise, the month of May will give all of us an opportunity to reflect, go inward, and take a good inventory of who we are, where we are, who we are with, what we are doing, where we are living, how we are supported (or not), what needs to change and what our next steps are.

All of this requires Awareness. You can no longer sweep your patterns, bad habits, pain, wounds, fears, and ego driven attitudes and behaviors under the rug and hope they will someday just go away or be fixed by someone else. Now is the time to become Aware and Awake so you can step into your life with more presence, more power and greater purpose. “

So true! Without the Awareness or at least the Willingness to look at things and really take a good personal inventory, we will inevitably keep repeating habits or patterns that no longer serve us. I for one say “Let that shit go!”

We had the glorious New Moon in Taurus on Saturday and I have had quite a few of you email asking if the energy is only for that one day or can you still tap into it. Good question. The New Moon sets the energy for the month, the most powerful time for New Moon intentions is within 5 days of the New Moon. The closer to the New Moon, the more powerful. Yes?

Okay let’s get on with the reading.

This week it was interesting to see that the glorious “Wild Kuan Yin Oracle” was most adamant. Now if you have never met this deck and guides, please let me introduce you.

“This deck is dedicated to the wild ones – those with a spirit that longs to be free and heart that must love with great passion – who year to bring beautiful visions to life. May you always trust the divine wild child within you, for you are one of the new humanity awakening, ensuring that life upon this planet flourishes with love, kindness and radical optimism. May the guidance, blessings and enlightenment of Wild Kuan Yin touch your heart and heal the world. “

We are going to try a little experiment – I’m not going to tell you what the crystals are this week, instead, I invite you to just soften your gaze as you look at them and then pick the ones that call to you.

Okay, just settle for a moment, it doesn’t have to be long – your safe, it’s okay. Breathe, breathe into the corners of your belly and down to your toes and let them wiggle. Let your shoulders nestle down your spine and feel your jaw relax as you breathe long and deep, in through your nose and out through your mouth. As you breathe in through your nose, invite in the smell that makes you feel seen, safe, secure, valued and oh so loved. As you breathe out let go of the tightness and the blaugh.

Invite in those moments of peace, security and love and as they come to you, ask them to help you pick the card or cards you need for this glorious week.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a peek?

PRIESTESS OF PERFECT PAIRING MAKES THE MATCH

I see the true nature of all beings and bring to them their perfect match, so that the journey of love may be experienced. Some pairings shall help in matters of the heart, others in the ways of the world. Some shall journey together for a brief time, others are destined for deepest union to experience the oneness of love. I shall grant the perfect match, according to grace and compassion.

Every yin, needs its yang. Every yearning for another is also a yearning for wholeness, for completion. A relationship is sacred in that it allows two beings to grow, to experience love in new ways. A healthy relationship allows for the growth of each individual within it. It allows you to enjoy the things you have in common and the differences that create friction and generate the spark of attraction, so something new can be created through the relationship. The Divine Mother is the most skillful and compassionate of matchmakers. She draws together relationships again and again – in romantic sense, but also in terms of friendships and workmates – for divine healing, growth and mutual benefit.

This blessing is also for inner healing as well as healing of relationship issues between you and another. Whomever is in your life right now is there for a reason. That reason is to learn. Your learning may simply be that you need to let go and move on. It may be about healing self-esteem and learning to speak your truth. It may also be about learning to live in accordance with your own values, or to stop judging yourself or another and find a more helpful and higher truth by looking at your situation through the eyes of compassion. Let your heart lead the way.

HARVEST MOTHER WATCHES OVER ME

I watch over you whilst you gaze within, for the time has come when you are best to gather your energy and direct it to your inner world. So much has been happening around you and within you. So much, that it needs time and attention to now be distilled, integrated and digested. It will bring you greater peace and a sense of completion to do this now. It is time to harvest your emotional world to be ready to gain the rich wisdom of your experiences. Then you shall be ready for us to begin again, for another chapter in your life journey – wiser, stronger and ready – together.

There has been so much happening in your outer world and even in your inner world, so much awakening, so much experience, that it needs to be processed, sorted through and released into some sort of useful content. If you do not do this you will feel a sort of uncomfortable fullness within, a sense of not being able to move forwards in life as freely as you would like. It may feel as though you need to empty out, create some space and find resolution within before you feel ready to take in more of what life has to offer. If such a natural process is not allowed, you will be pushing yourself towards overwhelm, fatigue, confusion and depression. It is safe and timely now for you to declutter your world, especially your internal world – although clearing out something of your physical world may be a way to enhance the process.

This is a time of great abundance, of hidden gifts becoming apparent and being received if you are willing to create some space. This is not a time to keep going with momentum or pursuing something simply out of habit. There is rich, growth-fuelling divine substance within our reach, and to receive that nectar of life you need to change pace. So whether it is journaling, closing your eyes and dancing in your living room, meditation or to relax and do nothing you are being advised to slow down and take some time for you.

WILD RIDER, BLESSING BESTOWED

I descend with wild love and bring we me such grace that there shall be an inflow of harmony, serenity, goodness and order restored to your life. There is no limit to the way that I can land in your life, to the order that I can call forth from the wild chaos that my truth my first evoke. I see from higher perspective that which can be altered so that the patterns of your life can heal and you can step forward on your path, with clear purpose. I bring you the embodiment of my mantra, opening your heart, and granting your prayer immediate answer. Om Mani Padme Hum.

Let go completely and allow the Divine to take over. Harmony and order is promised, but it may involve you, and your life, being shaken up a little first. This oracle is the Divine Mother saying “Giddy up! I’ve got work to do with you! Let’s go!” She is not in her calm and tender form, but in a wild love, free and fearless form, urging you to go willingly with her on the wild ride she is going to take, right through the centre of your life! So best to surrender and hop into the saddle behind her as she prepares to descend and create some living, compassionate and wild mess in your life.

You are being asked to forget about nice plans and things that make sense and about routines and strategies. It is a time to take your hands off matters. It is time to let your priorities be adjusted and your viewpoints be turned inside out. You won’t be eating at the banquet of life off clean dish, or politely sitting at the table with fork and knife. You’ll be messily munching away, sitting on the ground, feasting on chunks of life the Divine Mother shoves into your mouth to satisfy your wild and hungry soul. It is not a time to look pretty and worry about appearances. It is a time to come out of your head, into your body and allow yourself to feel and experience it without recrimination, analysis, shame or judgement. This is your irresistible invitation to the divine party where there is aliveness to be experienced beyond that which makes sense to your mind, even your values and philosophies.

It takes a brave soul to be willing to run the risk of realising you have known very little up until this moment. But the gifts in return for this messy, risky journey are abundant and delicious. You won’t be the same person after an encounter with the Wild Red Rider, but you will be more of your true self – more alive, empowered and vibrant – than ever before!

What a fabulous way to start this glorious month of May! Relationships, Self Exploration and full raucous Living! Yes!!! So my delicious lovely, I wish for you a fabulous week filled with the scents that evoke glorious memories and love. Remember there is now the monthly reading available and also the May Mini Message. Have a stupendous week, laugh a lot and revel in your gorgeous self! Huge hugs and squeezes!

Whales and Sea Lions Battling, April Energy has changed, and we have a New Moon in Aries!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Marvelous, ‘Mazing, Mischievous, Manifesting Monday! How are you delicious one? So much to explore with the shift in energy for April and the lovely New Moon that’s happening this week, however, first let me share about the 100’s of Orcas I saw this morning!

As I do every morning I go to the beach with the doggo. So I got there bright and early and was walking along the beach reciting mantra and picking up rocks when all of a sudden I looked up and coming around the point was a massive super pod of Orcas! (Apparently there was a plankton blushing with the hot weather) and they were majestic! Undulating in and out of the water, blowing water up in the air – it was awe inspiring! I mean seriously, how can you watch these majestic beasts and not be blown away? Then all of a sudden as the last Orca rounded the point 4 HUGE sea lions slid off the rocky point and started attacking the last Orca! I was gob smacked! There was all sorts of noise, splashing and you could see bodies flipping up and around and tails smacking the water. I have never seen the like! Then within about 4 minutes it was all done and when I looked around the Orcas and sea lions had vanished.

Okay, I have to ask, am I the only demented one that loves April Fools day and likes to play practical jokes and little twists of the mind with people? In my world, if it is harmless, no one gets hurt (possibly confused), then it’s all good. A few years ago I altered all the clocks in the house by 2 hours and so the kids dashed to the bus stop about 2 hours before a bus would be there. I will be honest, I let them wait for a good 30 minutes and when I pulled up in the vehicle they were highly concerned they had missed the bus, something had happened, where was the bus? (I know, what a horrid mother I am). So I explained to them what had happened, thanked them for the saran wrapped toilet and the salt in the sugar and we all went for a yummy breakie!

Thus gorgeous one, Happy April Fool’s Day! (Playing and laughing are so important, if you’re not doing it, then you need to start (just saying)). Or come for a visit and we will make it gigglicious and glorious fun and hopefully see Orcas!

The energy for April has changed – do you remember the theme from last month? It was Activation. Well this month it is TRUTH, CHOICE AND ACTION, repeat that to yourself again – Truth, Choice and Action – how does that feel? Let me share what the amazing Lena says about this energy. “This is a very interesting month with many ups and downs, twists and turns, eccentric insights, and changes and reversals that will definitely keep you on your toes. The themes of Truth, Choice and Action create a channel for transformation that is much like the birth canal. The only way out is by going through it and there is no going back.

Truth comes as an inner knowing not yet defined. Choice is the emotional commitment that needs no explanation or reason. Action is the disciplined follow-through that anchors a new path.”

Wowzer! To read more you can find it at Lena’s site here.

On top of all this we have the New Moon in Aries on Friday, April 5th. According to Forever Conscious:- “We have been moving through a portal of energy. This energy was triggered on the Super Moon back in March and will continue until the Full Moon on April 19th. The April New Moon on the 5th is the midpoint of this journey and is the marker where we get to decide if we are ready for something new.

Perhaps you are feeling this in your life in some way. Perhaps you are feeling the call to let go of the old you. Perhaps you are feeling the call to clear out limited beliefs and to remove the blocks that are leaving you stuck.

On the night of the Aries New Moon, we are all going to be given the opportunity to embrace a new way of being and to keep moving through this portal of energy so we can evolve, grow, and renew. The Aries New Moon is typically the best time for manifesting, setting goals, planting seeds, and making wishes. If you want a time of year for getting clear on your dreams and mapping out what the future will look and feel like, the Aries New Moon is one of the best.

Aries is fiery, it represents leadership and action, and on an Aries New Moon there is supercharged energy in the cosmos that can help bring us closer to the life that we desire. On an Aries New Moon, we can send our wishes out to the Universe with confidence that they will be heard and that we will find the steps we need to turn them into realities.”

So with all this delicious energy swirling around, remember to make your New Moon wishes on Friday!

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading. When I asked the cards who wanted to work with us all, guide, support, inspire and help us on this glorious day the Divine Circus Oracle literally jumped so high that it was like a hand to the forehead! This is a gorgeous deck for the bold, the ones that find it hard to follow the rules “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 and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us a moment earlier.”

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to come and join in are:- Atlantasite – will help you find inner peace. It will also stabilize your moods. It’s a wonderful meditation stone that will help you access and retrieve ancient information and wisdom about your past lives. We then have Citrine – premier stone of manifestation, imagination, and personal will. Carrying the power of the sun, it is warm and comforting, energizing and life giving. Last, but not least, Snowflake Obsidian – is a very grounding and protective stone. It is used as a great cleanser of negative energies, helping to remove not only negativity experienced in the environment, but also that of one’s own emotions, such as anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, etc.

Thanks to the wonderful reminder from a glorious reader to put the energetic descriptions in!

Okey, dokey – let’s crack on yes? Gently breathe yourself back into your body and as you feel yourself settle allow the theme of Truth, Choice and Action to float through your being. Breathe that in and invite it to choose the card or cards that would serve your highest good this week.

Ready?

Shall we go have a look?

DEATH SHALL NOT TAKE HIM

You are going to witness the impossible made possible. Whatever you think is lost, is not. Whatever you think cannot be, shall be. The universe is going to intervene and what seems to be over, shall in a new way, live again.

Sometimes, just when you think it’s all over, the eleventh hour comes. You can practically hear the opening chords of your swan song, and when you have finally given up, suddenly, somehow, right before your eyes, everything changes – just like that. You were free-falling and then, suddenly, you are soaring. Fate steps in, destinies are altered and life demonstrates its creative, restorative power, even if all seemed lost.

No matter how defeated you feel, no matter how many dead ends you’ve encountered, how many setbacks, how many failures, no matter how impossible success may seem, the universe has your back and is going to right things in your favour. You will succeed. So if you really must (sigh) doubt for one more moment – go ahead, then replace doubt with trust and participate in the divine defiance of life refusing to be stepped on or crushed. Why not just frigging relax and bear witness to the universe’s impressive display of life-giving power with reverence and delight? Gorgeous one – get out of your own way!

PLAY YOUR HAND

Have you been playing your cards close to your chest? Have you been waiting for the universe to give you a sign, for life to show you how to proceed? Sometimes we need to be patient and surrendered, but there’s also a time to take the initiative. It’s your time to show your hand to the universe. What do you want? What can you offer? Ask! Express! Expect! The Universe is waiting for you to make your move.

There are times to surrender and flow, to let the universe show you where to go. Then there are times when you need to choose, to play your cards, to make your move. The Universe is asking you, “What do you want? What are you willing to do?

Don’t waste a golden opportunity and such a receptive audience! Go into your heart and ask for what you want. If you don’t know the details, that is just fine! Ask for the essence of what you want and leave the fine details up to the universe to sort out. Do you want love? Abundance? Peace? Pleasure? Passion? Purpose? Or do you want creative freedom, to discover, express and enjoy the hidden inner treasures of your unknown talent, to feel so safe and secure within that you can relax and live your life to the full?

You have to take the first step, then all manner of support will come into play. It’s not a time for dreaming only; it’s a time for doing – even if it’s just one step in the direction of your dreams. Do it! Go for it – with gusto! Your confidence and willingness to be open are your keys to winning the game. So game on, sweet soul! Show your cards; let the dice roll!

DIVINE DISGUISE

Some blessings are obvious – the door that opens, the person who says yes and the instant success of an idea. But not all blessings are instantly recognisable. Some blessings are so veiled that at first you might consider them to be an unwanted development. A concealed blessing is either already at work in your life or on its way. Don’t worry if you feel like things aren’t working out as they should. Soon enough, the disguise will be dropped, and the blessed unmasked in all its beauty.

Blessings are the mysterious workings of the universe, there to help us along our unique life path to live our truths and fulfill our potential. The universe has the knack of knowing just what it is we need, even when sometimes we might think we need something altogether different. This is how it can be that something we resist and reject in our lives can become the very thing we’re most grateful for later on. We realise it had been a blessing masked, something actually helping us, even though it might have come in the form of a challenge or a struggle before we eventually gain great benefit from it.

The real beauty of a situation isn’t obvious to you yet. But trust and have peace of mind and a realisation that the universe does really know what it’s doing. It’s in your corner, on your side, cheering you on and helping you avoid unnecessary pitfalls, even if you don’t know they exist. There is no need to worry, even that which appears to be most troublesome is going to reveal itself to be working in your favour!

So my glorious one I wish you a stupendous week, loads and loads of laughter and play. Remember to get outside and connect yourself back to the elements and breathe! May your week be filled with discovering your Truth, making a Choice and taking Action (and also vases of glorious Spring blossoms)! See you next week. Huge hugs and squeezes!

Spring Cleaning, Singing and Where’s Home?

Jenny Heston · 1:04 am ·

Happy Magickal, Magnificent, Mystical, Merry, Manifesting, Marvelous March Monday! Did you have a glorious week delicious lovely with the wonderful Spring Equinox energy, Full Moon and the knowing that the light is getting longer and the flowers are pushing up through the cold earth! Quite a few of you have messaged asking when the Spring Equinox Reading Special lasts until. My darling it ends tonight, thus, if you feel called now is the time!

I have to say this has been a glorious week over here as I harnessed the energy of the Spring Equinox by taking time for ritual (I did a few including the Blessing Bowl one) which was amazing and went and sat by the ocean under the full moon. Talk about the sensation of having a moon bath! My awesome new neighbour brought me a beautiful posy of Spring flowers and a super cool art deco mirror over as Spring Equinox gifts – I was uber touched. The next day I did a glorious Spring Cleaning of the house, my office, my garden and my aura. Wowzer, wowzer, wowzer the sensation was like taking off the heavy fur coat of winter and putting on something lighter, sassier and more playful! I mentioned Spring Cleaning to a friend the other day and I watched her shoulders shoot up to her ears with the image, however, when I pointed out that this doesn’t necessarily mean scrubbing the toilet but more a cleansing of the energy in her home and her body with ease and grace, she felt more inclined to give it a try. In fact she phoned a couple of days later to let me know she had smudged, salt scrubbed, tidied one room up and washed one window and felt amazing! Gotta love a little cleansing energy, it just creates a fresh space for something new and more aligned.

On the weekend one of my best friends came for a visit and we had a fabulous time filled with axe tossing with the family (apparently not all families can do this together lol), beach walks, hikes, family dinners, large fires on the beach with random bongo playing french canadians and my concert! As some of you know a few months ago I stretched my comfort zone and joined a female acapella group (trust me this was a huge stretch for me). Every week we would rehearse, sing, laugh and share which was incredible and on Sunday we had our concert (I was very nervous)! The concert had a theme and the theme was “Home” and it was a fundraiser for the James Bay Refugee Association. There were incredible performers who all sang songs pertaining to what Home is, where one finds it, how it feels and all the rest. Our group performed 3 powerful songs pertaining to Home but more the sense of home within Spirit, Community and Relationship. This in turn got me to thinking about Home and what it means to me. To me Home is not necessarily the place I was born, but it’s the place where I feel safe, nurtured, cared for and connected to. For example, I felt very much at home in Yorkshire, and I feel very much at home here by the ocean. My physical space feels safe, serene and joyful – there are no chunks of darkness hiding in the closet or under the bed (thank goodness). I also realised that I am very picky about the people I allow in my Home (both physical space and mental space) which was quite interesting to pick up on as for years I would allow all sorts of energy and people into my physical and mental space (often to my detriment). Now I am far more discerning and if it doesn’t feel like a good fit the bright red door stays shut!!! So what does Home mean to you?

So with thoughts of energetic spring cleaning and home burbling in your being let’s crack on with the reading.

When I asked the cards who wanted to guide this week I was tickled to see The Faery Forest, An Oracle of the Wild Green World were ultra keen. Now if these glorious guides are new to you please let me introduce them (as introductions are always a polite thing). “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.”

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to support are:- Aragonite, Stilbite and Rose Quartz – yummers! Oh yes and a lovely Hyacinth chose to join in as well.

So delicious one, I invite you to take a moment and just settle into your body. Breathe in long slow and deep in through your nose and sigh it out through your mouth. Just Be and Breathe, you have more than enough time to do everything you feel needs to be done. As you let your shoulders drop and nestle along your spine allow the feel of Spring to burble up in your body and the sense of Home to whisper to you. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a little lookie loo shall we?

THE WILD HUNT

There is, for all of us, a moment when excitement and nerves fuse, when we prepare to journey and do something we have anticipated for a long time. In the faery realm, this sensation is created by adventure known as the Wild Hunt. This is a gathering which takes place not only within the realm of faery, it is one where the faery king and queen lead faery hounds and faery horses on a hunt throughout the countryside, dipping into and out of the faery lands, surfacing in the human worlds from time to time, cleansing toxic energy, allowing natural forces to begin to flow through the cleared energy paths, awakening the wild world to brightest life once again, and leaving a trail of ecstasy and bliss after the frenzied storm of their ride.

The Wild Hunt is fierce, powerful, a little frightening, and thoroughly thrilling – and this faery queen is preparing herself for the joys and challenges of this great springtime event. So too you need to prepare yourself for some chaos – a wild time, when change tears through and upends all the order you have attached yourself to. You may need to pack, travel, find ways to move quickly, stop planning and organising for a moment and just go on an immensely enjoyable ride of your life.

The time coming for you is delirious in its excitement, and you fear this loss of control and order. But truly, it will refresh you, just as it sears the very edges of your nerves! Dress up, show up, and prepare to be amazed! Take a deep breath, find your voice, and begin to cry out at the top of your lungs. You are alive my friend, and will feel so more than ever before when the wild hunt touches your life!

OATH

An oath is a sacred bond that we make. It is more than a promise, it is the bond of a soul contract through the spoken word – and thus we must be cautious when we offer our word, and think through what it is we mean when we give it. It is impossible to ever know what another thinks we mean when we give our word, so when this card comes, there is a slight undertone of a warning – that another person may take your word and twist it to mean they have your loyalty forever, regardless of circumstance, behaviour, or treatment. An oath is made between equals, and an oath can be broken by both parties, and by circumstance.

You may now be considering a partnership or a contractual agreement. It is almost impossible to know how to ensure that this is a good thing, because the truth is, within every contract there is much that cannot be comprehended, even when it is read. If this is the case, ask the other party in the contract to explain what is meant by clauses you do not understand – and ask them to offer examples, so you can best understand the paper oath you are taking.

In some cases, it may be a handshake you are sealing an agreement with. Whatever its form, consider the weight that comes with the feeling of making this contract. Consider the future and the karmic load the agreement brings to you, along with its immediate benefits. It is the truth that when considering our word, we must understand as fully as we can what we have agreed to. Be sure to do this now.

THE DREAMER

You have pure magick flowing through you in the form of visions, dreams, and trance-like moments. You are visually psychic and all the world is full of messages being relayed to you both through the medium of physical sight and through the eyes of spirit. You may even find you are able to enter trance extremely easily. You’re adept at reading patterns within Nature, you can scry without meaning to, and you look into every face knowing the story it is silently sharing. One glance gives you information about the person or place you are with or within, and your skill is an ancient one, revered throughout the ages.

You may find yourself gazing intently at other people’s faces, and picking up information, being able to read expressions, seeing shapes and patterns and fate within the forms tea leaves take at the bottom of the cup, reading signs in clouds, or simply knowing what will happen before you open your physical eyes, because you can see what is to happen next.

Your eyes at this time are immensely important – so on a mundane level, please be sure to have an eye check and look after your vision. Visually, you are very sensitive, so it may be time to change your environment, your appearance, or the appearance of where you spend much of your time so that it better offers you the energy with which you wish to go forward. Trust in your visions. They come from a magickal place, and when you become able to read and understand them, you will be the Dreamer indeed. Your vision is coming to reality – keep going. Your dream will become manifest in your life, and very soon.

Wow, I so love the cards! Have I said that before? The Wild Hunt referring to Spring, an Oath and being the Dreamer! Whoot, Whoot! So gorgeous one wishing you a stupendous week filled with ease, effortlessness, grace and play! Remember to take some of this glorious Spring energy and allow it to surge through you, making you laugh, giggle and do daft things! Here’s to darling daffodils, cute crocuses, and marvelous magnolia! See you next week! Huge hugs and squeezes.
