Oracle cards

It’s Okay to Be Kind and the Buck/Blessing Moon this week remind us of that.

Happy Magnificent, Mellow, Manifesting, Magickal Monday!

How were your celebrations? I stayed low key on Canada Day as my quad is torn, so being around 70,000 people was not my jam.

And with a torn quad I couldn’t go walk in the Pride parade, but I could go watch, which was fabulous.

Okay, let’s have a brief chat about resentment, forgiveness and being kind, shall we?

After all we have the Blessing Full Moon on July 10th – so let’s frigging do it!

So I had an interesting experience this week. First off it’s my nature to be kind and to help where I can, hence why I work as a counsellor, lay chaplain, spiritual guide, assist people as they are dying, healing, birthing with ritual and love. Okay?

So one of my boys phoned to let me know my ex-husband had moved here into basically a shit pit and had hip surgery at 54 years old on July 2nd, and could I please help him get the space together (I mean there weren’t even frigging appliances in the space!)

Appreciating I haven’t really talked to my ex husband for 20 years as he turned our marriage into an abusive, narcissistic, toxic festival – which was why I left with 5 kids and walked away.

But I’ve done a lot of work and forgiveness around that marriage, and I am grateful for the children that we created (and believe me, when I say a lot of work – I mean a lot of work of letting go of old stories, abuse, diminishment etc!)

So when my boyyo asked for help with this, of course my response was YES!

Why?

Because as I said – I have done the work which is some of what I teach. I don’t hold resentment, to me it’s a person who needs help.

So yes, I can go clean the shit hole and make it presentable before he gets out of hospital.

Yes, I can make soups galore and healthy snacks to support him through this healing process.

Yes, I can grab him a microwave and a kettle (remember, no appliances) and boyyo is grabbing a small fridge. So he can heal, eat and thrive.

Interestingly enough when I talked to my best friend and told her that I was doing this, she railed all over me! “Don’t you remember the broken bones, don’t you remember the toxic emails, don’t you remember…………”

Yes, I do.

“You can’t do this, he would never do it for you!”

No he wouldn’t (he’s a narcissist). But that’s his path, not mine.

It’s okay to be kind as long as you aren’t doing it out of a caretaking energy or a people pleasing.

As humans, we are all interdependent and connected and we can only do what we can do. But holding onto resentment, judgement and the stories one has created are toxic to you, not them.

So I am choosing to be kind, as he is a human being – but more so for my kids sake as they were the ones that asked.

Over the years I have sent this man Blessings galore, as one of the most powerful gifts you can give someone is a Blessing.

Now when I use the word Blessing, I’m not talking about the Bible interpretation.

One of my favourite authors, John O’Donohue, says that a blessing is an innovation, a calling forth.

The word may is often used in blessings because it imagines and wills the fulfillment of desire.

It’s more a case of calling in grace, love, something bigger than myself to offer support, and let’s be honest – you can offer up a Blessing for anything.

It could be a person who you feel has done you wrong, you can bless those that you see struggling, you can bless a situation, you can bless a meal. It’s the inviting in of something far, far bigger than yourself to enter the space with loving kindness.

I find it super powerful, give Blessing a try. What do you have to lose?

Being Kind, Blessings and the Solstice energy tie in deliciously with the Buck/Blessing Moon energy which is coming in on July 10th..

The spiritual meaning of this Moon is a powerful time for abundance, strength, passion and blessings.

This moon is a lovely time to reflect on your life and decide what steps you’d like to take next. What vistas are you willing to perceive in your life? What are you open to?

Make time for fun and joy! Turn off technology and be present in the joyous season of summer.

Find activities that fill up your soul with happiness and pleasure as this is when blessings galore come flooding in.

The full moon illuminates a time of heightened emotions and potent creativity.

There is nothing quite like being outside under the light of a full moon. The full moon has been the inspiration for poetry, songs, and movies, (remember the 1987 classic Moonstruck?) The full moon’s spiritual meaning illuminates a time of heightened emotions and potent creativity.

When the moon is fully illuminated by the sun’s rays, the view from Earth is that of a complete orb, seemingly emitting its own light. Time spent under this reflected light of the full moon has the power to be transformational, intense, and inspiring. It can also add intensity to whatever emotions are living in you, so it’s helpful to be intentional about what you are focusing on.

The full moon offers an opportunity to sit in the fullness of your life. It is a time to feel deep gratitude for the many blessings you have and experience.

Now enough chuntering from me, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards to ask who would like to be present this week it made my heart smile to see who showed up. The amazing Faery Blessing guides were most adamant. As after all, who doesn’t need a Blessing?

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them as it would be rude not to.

Faeries are present in every droplet of water, every blade of grass – they are everywhere there is a trace of nature – thus every field, flower, and forest is theirs. They inhabit the wild rainforests and the old castles; they dance within standing stones and burial mounds; they are on the top of mountains and within the grove deep in the valley; and they appear in the cracks in the pavement and beneath the cities in the old, tangled tree roots. Faeries are part of this world, and they were here before we were born into this world, and they know us better than we know ourselves.

For humans, many of us have lost our sense of play, our sense of relationship with nature, our courage to be ourselves – as well as our hope, creativity, and personal power. We have looked outside of ourselves and nature and the sacred ones for answers, and in doing so, we have become quite lost. The blessings of the faeries can bring us back into relationship with ourselves, back into relationship with the elements and the elementals, so that we can become more at home within the world, while creating a personal world which supports our dreams, our wishes, and our purpose.

Yes! Positively perfect!

So gorgeous one take a breath. Just a normal breath and then as you carry on breathing allow it to slow down. Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Allow in your mind’s eye a gorgeous rainbow swirl to form, this pattern is made of loss and abundance. It holds any anger, resentment or grief you may feel about a person, place, situation or thing and it melds with the abundance and appreciation of who you are. As you breathe just let it swirl, you don’t have to control it.

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

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

A BLESSING FROM QUEEN MAB

The Faery Gift of Being the Ruler of Your Own World

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

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

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

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

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

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

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING OF A FAERY GUARDIAN

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

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

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

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

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING OF CLEAR FORESIGHT

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

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

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

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

Faery blessings of the long foresight to you, friend.

BLESSED BE

And so it is. May your week be filled with Blessings galore.

May you have strong boundaries but still be kind. Huge Blessings and smooches!

Pride and Prejudice! Welcome to July.

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Mythical, Moxie, Melodious, Marvellous, Magnetic, Mirthy, Manifesting Monday!

July is here! Do you realise we are half way through the year (and what a year it has been!)

We have Canada Day on July 1st and I am going to go and participate in some of the celebrations, but I will say hanging out with 10,000 people is very short lived for me. Let alone with the heat! So there will be glorious garden time for rest, relax and play.

Then of course the US has July 4th celebrations (which means they get a long weekend!) Lucky buggers.

Here, in the city where I live, we have had Pride month and it culminates with a fantabulous parade next weekend!

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

When I was a teen in Oxford, most of my closest friends were people who were a good 15 years older than me, and were gay men. Gosh! I had so much fun, I learned a lot and I always felt safe, loved and appreciated.

There was a lovely chap called Gaz who was an incredible illustrator and would create the most magickal, whimsical imagery for children’s books and he would share the most amazing stories. He was a very special person.

A couple of years ago I helped run a booth, because as a lay chaplain and someone who performs ceremonies, rituals, weddings and funerals it felt important to share that diversity and inclusivity were welcome.

I dressed as a glorious butterfly, thanks to my amazing niece who has a tickle trunk of costumes and odds and bits, and had the most amazing connections and conversations!

This year, I will be helping carry a 50 foot long Pride Flag and dressing as a dark faery, armed with bubble wands galore!

So I will say the people who come out to heckle the parade, or the ones that sabotage some of the pride banners that the city had painted and created on the walkways, really?

I appreciate there are some people who don’t “approve” of diversity, inclusiveness and want everyone to conform to their ideal and opinion.

But in my world – everyone has an opinion, just like an arsehole.

Doesn’t mean I want to hear it, smell it or see it! (Just saying!)

I hope we get to a place and time where we can include and accept everyone, with no regards to colour, gender, identity, religious beliefs and so much more. That would be an amazing healing for the human race and to be honest, our planet.

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the guides and cards to ask who was willing to support and guide this week – there was no choice whatsoever. These guides were adamant they wanted to support.

So if these are new guides to you, please let me introduce you.

Faeries are magical beings who are guardians and protectors of our precious planet. They care for plants, flowers and trees, and us daft humans. They want everyone to experience their ancient wisdom and to feel reconnected to the Earth, our home, and to self.

The faeries are delighted to spiritually support and encourage you on this fantastic journey as you walk upon the faery path. And they remind you – there’s more to life than what you can see with your physical eyes.

Okay sweetie, let’s take a moment to drop in. Take a glorious deep breath out and allow the energy that you have been holding in your lungs to expel. Then take a glorious deep breath in and invite in the energy of inclusivity, what does that feel like for you? Let that energy meld into your heart space and gently open.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

HEALING

Healing can take many forms, even just through listening – when we feel we’re being heard it can make us feel better, so people who have the ability to listen with love and without judgement are already healers.

Sometimes just being in the presence of someone who is receptive to our thoughts and feelings can help us to feel uplifted and healed.

Do you feel you are able and willing to give this healing?

Hands-on healing is a technique many feel drawn to, and perhaps this is something you, too, wish to explore. Are you in need of healing yourself? Is there something that you are pushing through “because it’s expected?”

It’s important to listen to your body, mind and soul and take time out so it can heal naturally. Make sure you’re getting all of the correct vitamins and nutrients. And remember sleep can also be an amazing healer.

Explore healing therapies that may be new to you, such as aromatherapy, flower essences, hands on healing, art therapy, colour therapy – whatever piques your interest.

Believe and trust that you have the capacity to heal yourself and others. Explore and embrace that piece of yourself and allow it to flow.

HOPE

Hope is the key to the door that can lead you away from any predicament you are in.

No matter how hopeless things may seem, if you look deep inside your heart your spiritual heart wisdom will reveal a glimmer of hope, and this can lead you to a brighter future.

This gorgeous faery reminds us to always tap into hope, because looking for hope and joy and changing your beliefs can literally change your future.

As you can see on the card a rainbow and a dove of peace are shown and they often come together reminding us that anything is possible. Sometimes we just need an extra boost, so the faeries fly in on the wings of a dove to let us know that they’re with you with any difficulties you are experiencing.

Remaining hopeful while those around you are full of doubt and negativity can be extra challenging, but remember that hope comes from deep within our hearts and is an excellent habit to cultivate.

Heart wisdom and hope will see you through whatever is going on for you and those around you right now, so have courage and trust as the Faery of Hope walks hand in hand with peace and miracles.

NATURE’S SIGNS

The faeries love to leave hints and clues for us in nature. It’s one of the many creative ways in which they initiate communication with us.

For example, faeries often leave feathers or release floating dandelion seeds to let us know they’re nearby. The appearance of a friendly bird, such as a robin, is another message that they are close by.

Faeries and other creatures often work together as they’re all in harmony with the Earth, whose wisdom can come in many forms. Just allow yourself to be receptive and use your intuition to decipher any signs that you see.

If possible, sit next to a flowing stream and visualise your cares being resolved and any concerns flowing away. Alternatively, imagine your hopes and wishes flowing towards you, looking out for any significant signs from nature as you do so.

You could also leave your own sign for the faeries next time you’re out in nature, letting them know you wish to connect with them. Leaving a tiny wooden fairy door next to a tree is a sure sign to the fey that you’re a faery friend.

The faeries will pick up on your intentions and help to manifest them. If you don’t have access to a stream, it can be just as effective to visualise the process.

Those are some gorgeous delicious messages! How did the card you picked resonate for you? Have a stupendous week, delicious lovely. Remember to breathe and to celebrate your diverse unique self! And most of all have fun! (Life is so much better when we remember to play!) Big hugs and squeezes and bubbles galore!

Possibilities, Chronos – Kairos Time and The New Moon in Cancer.

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Happy Mysterious, Marvellous, Musing, Magickal, Mellifluous, Manifesting Monday!

How was your Solstice? Did you take some time to soak up the sun’s energy and light your inner flame? The things that make you feel filled with passion, hope and joy? I hope so!

As Solstice arrived at 7:42pm on Friday, friends came over – we shared food and then wrote all our releases on coconuts (yes, I did say coconuts). Then hiked to the top of a glorious rocky park and smashed them, whilst roaring!

Letting the coconut feed the birds and the releases flow into the ether.

On Saturday, the plan was to go down to the ocean and make a flower mandala. But it was a glorious, supremely rainy day (which I was so happy about).

So instead of getting a tad OCD and saying “this has to happen today”, I’m reminding myself of the power of Kairos time.

Chronos time is the linear, measurable time we typically live by.

In contrast, Kairos time is about the opportune moment, the qualitative “right time” rather than a quantitative measurement. It’s about significance, meaning, and a sense of readiness. When it comes to acknowledging dates like the Summer Solstice, Kairos time invites us to go beyond the calendar and focus on intention over obligation.

Thus, I went on Sunday and built a flower mandala from foraged wild flowers right next to the tide line, so the ocean could take my intentions and emotions away as the tide rose. (Totally tweaked someone walking by, but that’s their stuff).

Having set intentions by the ocean before on Litha that have changed my life – it was positively perfect!

It’s incredibly powerful to allow and watch the ocean gently take your creation and float further and further from shore, as it slowly unravels.

So let’s talk about Possibilities shall we?

I bring up Possibility as with the Solstice just passed, this is the time to really look inwards and outwards and see what you can create, manifest, call into being or try.

I was listening to something the other day and a Chinese Medical Practitioner shared that when someone dies of old age what is really happening is their heart stops believing in Possibilities.

So when someone dies of old age, their heart no longer sees possibilities for that lifetime and their spirit departs.

Sit with that for a minute. Mull the word Possibilities around in your mind for a moment.

On a deep and tangible level Possibility opens our heart to the experience of life.

Possibility is the very thing that makes life worth living. That gives our Spirit something to live for on this planet.

The opposite of Possibility is when we feel stagnant, stuck, trapped or confused. Which we all experience at some point or another and is one of the most blaugh feelings in the world.

However, what is happening here is your Spirit is asking you to perceive Possibility again.

Possibility is asking this question – “What opportunities are here for me?”

Possibility is looking at a dead end and seeing that the path continues. You may not know where it’s going, but it’s there waiting for you to see it and take a step onto it.

Possibility opens our heart to the truth of life’s wonder and connects us back to where we are meant to be, which is allowing the Divine to dance with us.

Possibility opens the portal of our perception.

…….and most often times our perception is rather limited.

When we are in the mindset of Possibility we are able to see new ideas, innovations, ways of being that we couldn’t see before.

So ask yourself this question – “In my dream of dreams what would be possible for me?”

The minute we step out of our daily routine and rut we are opening ourselves up to greater Possibilities.

So are you willing this week to play with Possibilities?

Possibilities and the Solstice energy tie in deliciously with the Cancer Moon energy which is coming in on June 25th.

The spiritual meaning of this glorious New Moon in Cancer is Emotion, Intuition and Dreams and desires. (Possibilities if you will).

This moon is a lovely time to reflect on your life and decide what steps you’d like to take next. What vistas are you willing to perceive in your life? What are you open to?

Cancer is feeling, longing, safety, the tides of our unseen inner world.

Cancer is memory, intuition, the sacred feminine, soul history. It holds the blueprint of belonging – cyclical, non-linear, tending. It invites us to heal our relationship with feeling, to protect what matters, and to create a sacred sanctuary of home within ourselves.

The doorway into this Moon is feeling. It is emotion. And it is presence with every hurt, every pattern, every message – from both within and without – that once taught us we were not safe to feel.

For this Moon, this celestial gift offers so much – is hugely bountiful in its offerings.

It wants to give us the world. Its hands stretched out with our hopes and dreams, with our yearnings and quiet desires. But we cannot receive this beauty if we cannot open to feeling.

The doorway is emotion.

Find activities that fill up your soul with happiness and pleasure as this is when possibilities come flooding in.

Feel all the feels and allow boundaries to encompass them. Yes?

So with all of that chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the guides and cards and asked who wanted to show and shine – the deck that came out loud and proud this week is Love Your Inner Goddess Oracle. Perfect! As we could all do with loving ourselves a wee bit more and being a tad more gentle and kind whilst we open up to all the delicious possibilities that are available to us.

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them – “These guides have come to help you to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth.

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

There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed. Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity. She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart.“

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time. Woosah!

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

If you need help with getting into the flow, there’s a lovely guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

BRIGHT DESTINY

To become truly yourself, shining your divine beauty and light, you will go through a process of releasing what is no longer right and true for you.

Like the caterpillar who sheds the chrysalis when it is time to emerge as the butterfly, you will let go of the person you once thought you needed to be.

This can feel freeing, exciting. It can also seem frightening.

You may feel crazy sometimes, trying to hold onto a past that is no longer available to you and grasping for a future that is yet to be.

Sometimes, it can feel like a dark night of the soul, filled with questioning and confusion.

Others may not understand what is happening, and you may feel as though you can’t really explain it, either. In such times, we have to trust that all the changes and uncertainty are part of a process of growth – letting go in order to open up to something amazing and new.

This is happening for you now. You don’t have to be afraid. You are going through this because you are ready for it, even if you think you’re not.

There is a loving reason for all of it, even if you cannot see that right now.

Put your faith in the mystery. Trust that the answers will come – and so will the joy of all that you have grown into. Stay true to your path and know that you have a bright destiny ahead.

For now, let the process happen. Fear can make us try to force something that isn’t quite ready yet. Don’t try to impose a meaning, take action or understand it all prematurely. Don’t think too hard!

It’s OK to relax and trust that the moment of clarity will come when the time is right.

PRIORITY OF PURPOSE

Making a choice can be hard, as if to say yes to one thing, you have to say no to fifteen other things! Remember that saying no is just saying, “not right now”, rather than “never”.

There is a higher plan for your life that includes all of your passions. You can do it all, but just not all at once.

Your soul knows how to build your most inspired and beautiful divine life, as though it were building an extraordinary temple for your spirit.

It knows that the foundations need to be prepared and the walls built before the windows, doors and skylight can be installed. The roof may be absolutely one-of-a-kind incredible, but if you try to lay the roof before you’ve built the walls, you are going to have some problems!

There is a certain order to how things need to happen, which the soul intuitively knows.

That is why listening to the soul and trusting your inner guiding voice makes more sense than trying to accomplish everything straight away and ending up with so much less than you deserve for all that effort.

Every moment of patience and sacrifice that you make now is stored up by the Universe as a sweet grace that you will receive back later, as everything falls into place so perfectly.

Tune in and trust your soul to show you how to gain everything you ever dreamed of, one simple step at a time.

EARTH GODDESS

You have beautiful dreams and wonderful visions of what life could be. It is not enough to imagine them. You want to live them! This is exactly how you are meant to feel.

For that to happen, you must practise feeling grounded, taking practical earthly steps, one at a time, to bring your dreams to life. The Universe will send so much help your way, but you are the one who must take the steps. Spirit cannot do that for you.

Even if you are not sure how your biggest, boldest dreams can come together, you can still ask yourself, “What is it that I can do now?”

Sometimes, it will be an obvious action that you can take, and, sometimes you will need to pray and meditate and ask for the way forward to be shown.

When you can do something, do it. When you cannot, rest and wait for your intuition to nudge you when the time is right to take action.

Remember, you are an Earth Goddess. You have the power to manifest your visions, to bring your beautiful ideas to life in the world. This is what you are here to do. Remember to love yourself enough to recognise your creative power and use it joyfully each day.

There’s a fantasy that wants to become reality for you. Don’t let a few gritty moments or human imperfections prevent you from experiencing the joy of heaven on Earth.

Oh my gosh, I so love my guides and the cards. Perfect for this time! So my most glorious one, I wish for you a stupendous week filled with Possibilities and the energy of this glorious New Moon. Remember the Solstice reading special is available until the end of the month as is SASS. Huge hugs!

Summer Solstice is here and Goodies Galore!

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Dearest Gentle Reader,

Frigging love starting a post with that line! Summer Solstice, also known as Litha, arrives on Friday June 20th and the fire in you wants to burn with the sun.

To light up and beam out as far as humanly possible!

And why not?

Now you may be thinking to yourself, Jenny I have no clue what you are talking about or how to tap into the energy that is available to me!

Not a problem! There are two glorious goodies for you that will ignite your inner flame!

First off, I have you covered with the amazing Stupendously Abundant Summer Solstice guide. Fondly referred to as SASS, as who doesn’t like a little SASS.

She is a glorious 45 page guide that will walk you through it all with love and tenderness and help you ignite your own fire.

So let me ask – what words come to mind when you think of the Summer Solstice?

Thematically this celebration is about POWER, Strength, Illumination, Confidence, Energy, Self-acknowledgement, Joy and of course – glorious Faerie revels.

It’s time to celebrate and also time to reflect on your personal growth and the meaning of the season of light and growth.

This is the moment of our year when there is the most light available to you.

In terms of consciousness, it is when you are the most present to yourself and who you know yourself to be — the Sun represents the light of all life and consciousness.

At the summer solstice, a doorway in time opens, which our ancestors viewed as sacred and holy.

Litha is a grand portal of energy, space, and opportunity – a chance to let go of fears, doubts, and insecurities.

After the Sun reaches its maximum power, it begins to decline.

Slowly, the night force will grow stronger until its peak at the winter solstice.

Litha is the last chance in our calendar year to activate sacred intentions before moving into autumn and winter, the natural seasons of harvest and rest.

It’s a time to step out in faith and imagine what’s entirely possible for yourself. Dream an expansive vision for your life that will sustain you as the darkness slowly returns with the fall.

Which brings in the 2nd goodie!

After a lovely natter with my guides we are opening up 2 readings that are specific to Summer Solstice, which we haven’t done in two years! The first one is Stand in Your Power and the other one is Hot Mess!

Only 20 spaces will be open from now until the end of June for the Solstice/Litha energy.

Remember, like the Sun, you have your Inner fire.

Your Inner Fire is the fierce, powerful, badass part of you.

The You that does the hard work of bringing your dreams to life. In the same way that crops would cease to grow without the Earth’s sun, your life would shrivel without your Inner Fire.

So let’s ignite it so you can beam like the glorious beastie you are!

Okay, enough chuntering away.

Let’s crack on with the reading, shall we?

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go take a little look-see, yes?

GO DARK

Your darkness is not your enemy.

It can seem scary, but it’s where new life grows and develops. You do too.

This moment calls you to be willing to be with your own darkness. It asks you to embrace your dark as your beloved ally. To cradle your uncertainty.

The dark night of the soul holds secrets for you that you wouldn’t be able to see in the brightness of glaring certainty.

Poet Mary Oliver spoke about a box of darkness as a priceless gift in her life.

Chaos, crisis and suffering want to gift you a new understanding of who you really are beyond who you always thought yourself to be.

COURT THE FEMININE

The word cunning is closely associated with the fox.

Cunning, like foxes and women, has been given a bad rap.

Many have twisted the word’s sacred origins into something manipulative and conniving.

But the word cunning comes from an older Middle English word “ken”, a range of knowledge or sight.

A cunning person understands that deep internal sight and wide-range vision lead to building an authentic life. Excavate your deep knowing and trust its messages.

This is the way your soul-sight grows sharp, and your instincts return to the untamed power you were born with.

Sharpen your cunning to cut away what no longer serves.

No matter your gender, your life deserves the fierce protection that feminine discernment can bring.

CRAFT YOUR FOCUS

Your vision is a magnifying energy source, amplifying and expanding what it perceives.

In any single moment you have one choice. You can turn your gaze toward what you don’t want, what isn’t working, what you are fearful of, what you worry about.

Or, you can look at what you treasure, what you love, and what you hope for, despite what reality tells you is possible.

Either way, what you focus on grows, right?

Now is the time to use this very simple power to direct the energy and flow of your experience.

When you focus on what you already have with gratitude, and what you want with love and appreciation, you create the energy version of your vision before there is any proof in the material world.

This moment invites you to consciously choose your focus.

Okay, have to say – love these cards! All deep, rich and meaningful! Wishing you an amazing Solstice and huge blessings. Remember to grab your copy of SASS, or gift yourself or a friend one of the Solstice reading specials. Huge hugs!

Deepen into the May Energy and let’s talk about Mother’s Day.

Jenny Heston · 4:44 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Misty, Mischievous, Magnetic, Manifesting May Monday!

How are you delicious lovely? How was your Beltane experience?

I made a lovely offering to the Fae of crystals, sunflower seeds, red wine and shiny coins. I noticed a good chunk of the red wine was gone the next morning.

So either there were some tippled faeries flying around or a tipsy racoon!

Okay my darlings, we have lots to natter about this week. We have the Full Flower Moon, a big shift in May energy and of course Mothers Day all coming up this week.

So grab a cuppa and get settled.

On Beltane I did a glorious ritual and really tapped into the intuitive energy of this month of May, as every May has a different energy.

For example last year was about Mental Clarity and Inspiration, this month the word that came to mind is Deepening.

The image I was shown was the ocean, that deep unknown that we play in, go to, feel the pull of the tides, but we don’t fully “know”.

The Deepening energy of May asks us to really root into who we are, what we want and why we want it. What are we here to share? What are we here to learn?

It’s as if we are standing at a cliff edge looking at the ocean and being called to get closer, to really Deepen with a glorious warm Benevolence that wraps us up in a glorious blanket.

The ultimate question of course is – are you willing?

When we live in a fast paced world being bombarded with all sorts of drama our nervous system can go into a fight/flight/freeze/fawn – so this is where Deepening comes in.

Think of Deepening as a delicious Tend and Befriending of your core self, where you meet yourself exactly where you are – without the judgements or complaints.

After I had that download, the next day I went to the Ocean early in the morning, took Fearghus the swimming dog and walked. Walked, threw sticks and watched Fearghus bring in the present moment. The joy, the waves, the embracing exactly this moment.

As I walked and dropped into that space I asked myself these questions – which I invite you to try.

How can I create a cycle of nourishment in my own life?

How can I bring balance to the flow of giving and receiving?

What does it feel like to meet myself exactly where I am with no judgement?

Creating this harmony really begins with me and my inner state of being, and am I willing?

I found a glorious wee starfish who had been left on the rocks, and rescued and tossed him back. And then the most amazing Raven kept coming closer and closer as I was about to leave and was only 10 inches away.

Deepening. That is the invitation for May, and if you don’t have an ocean nearby, go to a river, a waterfall, a moving body of water! Let me know how that feels for you.

Sunday the 11th brings in Mother’s Day, and for me personally, it’s irrelevant if you have birthed children or not. As we have all at some point in time nurtured, mentored, supported a child – whether they were ours or not.

I will be honest, I have learned so much from my five children – they have taught me amazing lessons, given me a lot of angst, and helped me to grow up.

I also realise that Mother’s Day can be challenging for some as there are so many energies that float around that day, there’s:- love, frustration, loss, grief, disconnect, yearning, joy, expectations, connection, being invisible – and so very many more.

This will be the first Mother’s Day that I don’t go grab a ton of dirt, plants and planters and create amazing pots of flowers for my Mothership. It feels very strange so I’m allowing it to be what it is.

So remember:-

“Let everything that needs to go, go. Let everything that needs to come, come. “

On that note, let’s crack on with the reading.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a look?

QUEEN OF HEARTS

Your heart has been chosen by the Divine to be a temple for spiritual light, an inner place where grace and healing can dwell. This is very special.

A temple is kept clean and pure, scented with sacred perfumes of incense, made beautiful with our feelings uncluttered and spacious so that as much spiritual presence as possible can enter.

When spirit enters and fills the temple of the heart, things of extraordinary beauty take place. Even the seemingly impossible becomes possible. Clear your heart temple with forgiveness, gratitude and love for the spirit, so it can fulfil its divine destiny of being a sacred channel for beautiful divine grace.

The mind may believe it has got the power to rule, but, in truth, the heart is queen. You are a true goddess of love, one who consults the heart for answers. You will courageously follow the guidance of the heart. Even when the mind doesn’t want to surrender to the call of the heart, and fearfully lists numerous reasons why it is crazy and stupid and will end badly, you know that the doubt of the mind is no match for the power of the heart.

Things don’t need to make sense to your mind or to anyone else, they just need to make sense to your heart. You are already a divine queen, your heart aflame with passionate purpose. Stay true to your heart’s wisdom and you will change the world!

SHAMAN OF SKULLS

In your heart, you have been asking for something different, something more, and the Universe is answering your prayers.

You don’t need to be afraid of the changes happening, or that are going to happen, for you. They are part of that answer from the Universe! You might feel uncertain because you cannot see how it is going to all work out – but know that the Universe is caring for you, and will provide a way to move through the transition with grace.

You are not crazy to willingly enter this experience. There is nothing that you need avoid, and so much that you will gain.

Something is ending. Something that has meant a lot to you. Maybe it is a relationship, a phase of your life, and identity that no longer suits you. Maybe it is an inner ending that you can’t quite articulate, but you feel nonetheless. This is a symbolic death with a greater purpose.

The shaman is spiritually trained to overcome the fear of symbolic death and, instead of avoiding endings, to willingly go through them with the awareness that an ending is simply the other side of a beginning. The shaman learns that endings happen when something new wishes to be born.

Be patient with yourself, be kind, but also know that new life is happening for you now according to a higher purpose and loving plan. Your life is meant to change at this time. Be encouraged! From the ashes of this symbolic death, you shall rise again.

FINCH SPIRIT GUIDE

Finch Spirit Guide comes to you with guidance to care for yourself in a particular way.

Finches can become beautifully coloured, but only when they eat foods that nourish them. They have the power of beauty within, but they need the correct nourishment to be able to transform that potential into expression.

You also have beautiful divine potential to shine your light and beauty in the world, but you must feed your soul what it needs to do this. Be respectful and loving to yourself as you choose what to take into your being – be it physical nourishment or emotional energy or even the kinds of books you read and entertainment you watch, for all has an impact on you.

Do you feel better for the experience? Does it nourish your soul?

The best growth-enhancing food for your soul is that which increases love.

Finch Spirit Guide also brings a prediction of a celebration of happiness ahead of you – and wants you to know that your connection to the spiritual worlds is real, to trust in the messages you feel from the Universe as they make themselves known in your heart.

It’s a good time to experiment with how to best care for your mind, body and soul. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about finding what works best for you. You are in a phase of your life where giving back to yourself is important.

Perhaps you have been sharing a lot of yourself with others, have come through a challenging time or, in the near future, will be stepping up in a new way to share more creative energy and soul fire than ever before.

All that you need to know now is that it is the right time to take extra special care of you.

Gorgeous one, wishing you a stupendous week, month of Deepening if you are willing. Sending you massive hugs and squeezes!

Happy Magnificent, Mellow, Manifesting, Magickal Monday!

Okay, let’s have a brief chat about resentment, forgiveness and being kind, shall we?

After all we have the Blessing Full Moon on July 10th – so let’s frigging do it!

I find it super powerful, give Blessing a try. What do you have to lose?

The full moon illuminates a time of heightened emotions and potent creativity.

Happy Magickal, Mythical, Moxie, Melodious, Marvellous, Magnetic, Mirthy, Manifesting Monday!

So let’s talk about Possibilities shall we?

So when someone dies of old age, their heart no longer sees possibilities for that lifetime and their spirit departs.

On a deep and tangible level Possibility opens our heart to the experience of life.

Possibility opens the portal of our perception.

So are you willing this week to play with Possibilities?

The doorway is emotion.

Feel all the feels and allow boundaries to encompass them. Yes?

So let me ask – what words come to mind when you think of the Summer Solstice?

Your Inner Fire is the fierce, powerful, badass part of you.

Happy Magickal, Merry, Misty, Mischievous, Magnetic, Manifesting May Monday!

Think of Deepening as a delicious Tend and Befriending of your core self, where you meet yourself exactly where you are – without the judgements or complaints.
