Reading October 31st (Halloween)

Happy Halloween, Samhain and Scorpio New Moon! (Well that’s a lot of lovely energy to work with for sure). I’m back from 2.5 glorious weeks in the UK where the name of the game was play, explore and participate. It was absolutely wonderful. I love the countryside, people the history and age of the buildings – there is something so awe inspiring to walk the corridors of a building that was built 1000 years ago.

So with that theme of history in mind this Scorpio New Moon is all about inviting the spirits of our ancestors to join us and share their wisdom. This is turn reminds us to awaken to our fullness and shed any outmoded forms of being so that we can shapeshift into a new reality. “ It’s time to step into personal as well as our collective Darkness with courage and a willingness to ‘take Death as your adviser’ ad don Juan advised Carlos Castaneda. Layer on top of that Samhain (Halloween) where the veil between the living and the dead is at it’s thinnest and we can call for help, advice and support in our transformation across layers of time and space from loved ones who may not necessarily be physically with us anymore.

You may have noted that I used the word Samhain as what we call Halloween is actually an old Pagan holiday and is the festival of the Dead. Meaning “Summer’s End. It is a celebration of the end of the harvest and the start of the coldest half of the year and it is also the beginning of the spiritual new year. Customs involved, bonfires, candles, cemetery visits, ancestor stories and a feast of the dead. In the 1500s, ‘Guising’, the act of going from door to door in disguise was practices throughout Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It was a tradition for a man covered in a white sheet and carrying a decorated horse skull to lead a group of youths, blowing on cow horns from farm to farm. The concept of moving from place to place dressed as a demonic being eventually evolved into the modern trick or treat.

Thus, with all the history in mind I invite you on a little journey. If you care to come with me, play the brief recording.

Are you willing to hear the guidance offered?

VOICE OF AN ANGEL

You have something to say. There is a unique voice within you that wants to be expressed creatively in the world. Whether it is a conversation you need to have, a truth stated, a song to be sung or a book to be written, honour your voice. Know that it is inspired and can help not only your own spiritual growth, but support others on their path too.

If you do not allow inspiration to flow, you will feel blocked,a s though something that needs to happen naturally is not happening. It is an uncomfortable sensation that can lead to feelings of depression, self doubt, lack of confidence and eventually wear away at your self-esteem. Sometimes we unintentionally hold ourselves back from expressing the inspirations, ideas and imaginations we feel because we are afraid – afraid that we are making it up, that we will be judged or fail to deliver a worthy expression of the idea. Maybe we think someone else will do it better anyway, or we simply don’t choose to value our inspiration enough to make it a priority in our lives and don’t set aside time and devote energy to it to bring it to life.

Have trust, courage and confidence in yourself and to follow through on the gift of an idea that has been given to you. This is not a time to keep quiet, play it safe, hold yourself back, or allow others to step up and speak for you. It is your time to speak your truth, to express yourself, to have confidence in your own ideas and inspirations and in your own voice. The time has come for these ideas to transform into physical reality.

BRILLIANT VIRGIN

In a world where we are bombarded daily with differing opinions and ideas, remaining true to you and your own point of view is nothing short of brilliant. Let go of confusion, distortion, comparison and compromise. You do not need to compare yourself to another or measure up to anyone or anything else. What matters to you and your successful life journey is to be in touch with your own truths. You know what you feel, no matter what anyone else says or believes. Stay true to you!

We have to trust that the inner vision, the hope, the dream within us, is going to be strong enough to stand the rigours of birth, and be able to come to life in the world. Sometimes we have to trust that we are enough, that we have goodness, value and worth, and so are worth the time, effort, patience and commitment required to transform our ideas into realities.

Stay true to you and your course. Do not allow yourself to be swayed by another, no matter how well-meaning their intentions may be or how impressive their arguments may seem. Do not water down the strength of your vision, your dream. You are meant to be birthing something unique into being. The world needs your originality! Pray for courage. Trust yourself.

PIXIE PIERROT

There is an original you, the you that has always been and will always be you. No matter how much the outer forms of your body, your work, your lifestyle, your world seem to change, the original, essential you is always there within, unique, precious and just as you were created to be.

Within you is an intelligence that helps you adapt to various life circumstances and situations. You might do this consciously or unconsciously, but the point of any type of adaptation is survival. There is more meant for you in this life than merely surviving. You are actually meant to thrive. You thrive most fully, abundantly and deliciously when you are just YOU. Not the version of you that another may prefer, nor the one that helps you fit into the crowd, but just YOU – as you have always been.

It’s time to get back to the essence of you. It might be time to go back to the things you dreamed about in childhood, or something that really feels like it expresses the true you but that you cast aside for some very logical and sensible reason or other. That might be a talent, passion or lifestyle you were pursuing, or a deep-seated need to create or express yourself through art, clothing, music or dance. It’s time to reclaim it. Love yourself and let yourself live, thrive and express the original genius of you.

Happy Halloween and Samhain. Have a safe and lovely celebration. I will be handing out sweeties to little ghouls and vampires and when that’s all done it is time to take my apple to the water and let it drift off on the waves.

Happy glorious Monday! It is so good to be back, I did need the last few weeks to focus on getting us moved and to do some building and renovating – and I am glad I gave myself that time.

It has been super hot here and building in 40C weather has been brutal! There was one day where the sweat was continually pouring down as I am putting in joists and pouring concrete and as I looked around I noticed all my dogs totally flaked out. Is this “The Dog Days of Summer”? Me being me, I went and looked it up – it actually has nothing to do with lethargic dogs, and this is what I found:- “It turns out, the dog days refer to the dog star, Sirius, and its position in the heavens. To the Greeks and Romans, the “dog days” occurred around the day when Sirius appeared to rise just before the sun, in late July. They referred to these days as the hottest time of the year, a period that could bring fever, or even catastrophe!” Thankfully no catastrophe’s here!

Just hot and lots to do!

Okay, let’s get onto the reading. I invite you to take a moment just for you. Stop what you are doing, and start to focus on your breath.

Let’s take a glorious cooling deep breath in by gently closing over the right nostril and breathing through the left. To do this, place your right thumb over your right nostril with your fingers standing up like gorgeous antenna to the Universe. Deep breath in and as you exhale sigh it out through an open mouth. Feel your gorgeous shoulders gently relax. As you keep breathing in this pattern feel your scalp, jaw and cheekbones relax and settle into a glorious space of joy. Take another deep breath and if you are willing see in the centre of your mind a stunning waterfall cascading down over a lip of rock which is covered in lush green ferns and moss, the water then cascades down for metres and crashes down into into a deep cool inviting blue pool of water. Feel the mist that the waterfall sends up, cooling, soothing, very Yin energy – giving and loving. Feel the mist wash over your face and your body, removing anything that is attached to you that is not serving your highest good, anything that is old stuff and needs to be washed away. If you feel comfie with this energy, open your arms wide and receive it, breathing into the cooling, cleansing energy. Stay there for a few moments and let the mist gently nourish and feed you. When you feel ready, take another deep breath in, lower your thumb, thank the waterfall, trust your intuition and yourself to pick the card that wants to work with you this week.

Have you picked? Ready?

SEEING THE TRUE YOU

Sometimes we believe what others tell us we are, as though the self we see reflected back to us through their eyes is truth. You have been putting rather too much faith in the reflections others have of you – to the point that you might not be honouring all that you are and all that you are becoming, because you believe too little of yourself.

You are to begin to develop the art of direct perception. This is the ability to recognise yourself not only in the eyes of others, but from how you feel about yourself, how you experience yourself and how you observe yourself (with compassion and kindness) from within. This is a step towards a radical empowerment that does not require perfection in order for you to recognise you are loveable and have much to offer. It is empowerment based on the acceptance of all that you are.

If you are getting confused about who you are and your motives or actions based on what others are saying or how they are responding to you, step back. In your quest to be a responsible person, you may be unintentionally taking on the feelings of others, making their reflections of you more than they are in truth. More often than not reflections are more about the state of the reflector than what is being reflected. Let those external perceptions go. Can you just acknowledge yourself? Do so and be free!

NEW BIRTH, GUARDED VIGILANTLY

In every creative process, in every birth, in every opening of a new cycle of life, there is a time of vulnerability. This vulnerability is natural and appropriate. It is the foal learning to become steady on its legs Those legs will become remarkably powerful in time, but the process of growth and maturity has to take place, and that requires some wobbly first attempts. It cannot be any other way.

Within you, there is fresh new life emerging like a vibrant green shoot rising up from the earth. This new life is in need of your attention and your care. This could be a new relationship that needs tending with interest and kindness. It could be a new idea that you need to nurture into fullness, because it is going to hold special purpose for your life path. You will not always need to cloak that which is young. Soon enough it will be able to stand up for itself, but for now, your vigilance and care is most certainly required.

Hug your ideas to yourself as though they were a new lover you cannot bear to share with another. In time the world will be the lover receiving the love in your idea. For now, it is for you to love, for you to hold and for you to observe. Keep your sanctuary pure, this may be your room, a sacred place you visit, your own body, into which you retreat in relaxation or meditation. Sometimes you will find that others have taken up residence in your sanctuary. It is time to focus on the purity, light, love and compassion that dwells within you. Everything else will come and go, and that is just fine. But the purity within your sanctuary is eternal. Firmly denounce any intrusion upon the new life by doubt, fear or sabotage.

SHE FEELS, SHE KNOWS

An illumination is erupting from within you as a vision that is bringing what was once obscured into clarity. This is not likely to happen as a blinding, shocking insight, but as more of a softer, gentle knowing. It is like knowing something without understanding exactly when or how you came to know it. This insight will assist you and you are being asked to honour it. You will know which insight it is at the right time. Your heart will tell you.

Something that is far bigger than the immediate situation, issue or moment is of importance – although you will only have a dim sense of that possibility, at best. The situation you find yourself in right now may not be one of joy, but in time you will understand more of the bigger picture. You are being asked to think in terms of long-term happiness. Sometimes this warrants change or even temporary restrictions in the short term. Through the natural process of transformation, great leaps are indeed possible. You simply must be prepared to surrender into the process with absolute trust.

The situations in your current life are particularly geared towards a more significant manifestation that is coming to you, according to your life path and purpose. This is a stage of preparation and of building a foundation that will hold you strong and centred as your creative journey unfolds and your life path becomes ever more brilliant and luminous. So keep plugging away, remain patient but most of all, be hopeful and trust in the light you sense ahead of you, for it is the light that is within you, simply revealed more fully. And all that is happening now, is happening to that end.

Wishing you a glorious week filled with love, light, joy and moments of peace.

Happy Glorious Monday delicious lovely, how are you? Have you been practicing self care? It is vital to water your roots so your Soul can blossom! Here in this neck of the woods I allowed myself to get a tad overwhelmed in the last week with building, coaching, digging large holes and filling them with cement and a myriad of other things. However, when I finally paused to check in as to why this fragmentation and overwhelm were taking over front and centre I realised I had put aside the routines and things that nourish me (as I thought there wasn’t enough time for both – a kind of and/or mentality). Once I made a shift and took those few moments to meditate, chant, do yoga, read, get out in nature everything lined up. It was as if I had plugged back into the motherboard of the Universe (thank goodness as my battery had been getting a tad low).

In that vein, let’s see what guidance, support and healing is coming to you this week with the cards. We are using the gorgeous Kuan Yin Oracle – by Alana Fairchild again this week as they were the ones that literally jumped off the shelf to come play.

So let’s pause for a moment and I invite you to come sit by the ocean on a gorgeous piece of driftwood. As you sit looking out over the water gently close your eyes, hear the waves lapping in and playing music as they dance back down between the pebbles. Imagine a gorgeous ball of white, bright light in your being growing larger and larger, this is your essence your inner light. As the waves play their gorgeous music for you notice your light expanding out of your body, shining out into world, out through any and all mental resistance that you put up to protect yourself. Imagine this light has immense power, and when you shine it out through the fog of your disbelief, concern, or fear it gets even bigger and more radiant! It is now stretching out over the ocean, dancing along the surface. As your light grows and expands a gentle rainstorm starts, but you are warm and dry as there is a canopy from the tree growing out of the cliff next to you. You wonder if you should pull your light back in and as that thought enters your mind the sun illuminates the rain clouds and a gorgeous, vibrant rainbow shines forth and melds with your glorious light. Your light becomes red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet and the love that pulses back to you from the Divine washes away any concerns, doubts, resistance or challenges – you are so loved and you feel it! As the rainbow slowly fades you are filled with a sense of calm, knowing, trust and believing, breathe that in, breathe it into your core! When you feel ready gently open your eyes and come back into your body. Give a great big grin of appreciation and let’s go pick.

If anyone can tell me what the centre crystal is I would greatly appreciate it. So gorgeous and seems to have citrine and something else in there.

EMPRESS OF THE PEARL

You have an inner gift of great value, born of struggle, adversity and challenge. In wisdom you know that suffering can lead to growth provided we are willing to search for a way to heal through it. Seeing challenges as ways to expand your spiritual light empowers you to focus on the growing light, rather than getting caught up in suffering. Natural pearls are rare, lustrous feminine gems, created within a living organism, the pearl oyster. They have a unique creation process. Natural pearls are created when a foreign entity, such as a grain of sand or parasite, finds its way into the pearl oyster. The oyster reacts and creates layers of pearlescent substance, creating a warmly glowing treasure within.

Just like the beautiful and rare natural pearl, you have a unique spiritual beauty to offer to the world. Your pearl is your precious gift, something unique that is being born through your experiences and consciousness that cannot be created or copied by another because it is of your own unique soul light.

Any struggles you have experienced are a karmic gift to help you grow this inner exquisite offering to support the spiritual evolution of humanity. Once you recognise this, you can dispense with your struggles more swiftly, using them to help you grow and not adding unnecessary energy or focus to the problem, which might make it grow instead! Your Soul is growing in lustre and beauty to share with the world!

TO THE CELESTIAL MOUNTAIN

There are times when divine energy is needed to help us achieve our spiritual goals. When you do not feel completely in control of your destiny, the divine is usually gifting you with an opportunity to reach for assistance and to invoke divine power, to call to the celestial mountain so that you might be gifted with a far superior outcome. Your permission to beings that love you unconditionally to offer you help is an expression of spiritual empowerment, you empower those forces to come to your aid and help you manifest your life purpose and destiny.

You are being asked to empower the divine to help you, to call to the celestial mountain within your own heart, to reach out and allow the divine to assist your current life unfoldment. We live in a free will Universe and no matter how much you are loved, in fact, because you are so loved and respected, no being will intervene for you without your permission. Do not believe that asking for help means that you will grow weak or dependent and not grow spiritually. You are doing this to grow in your own mastery at a soul level, not to hand over your life and not take personal and spiritual responsibility for it any more!.

You will discover that your Divine Self is a powerful, living expression of the Source of the Universe. You have within you the power, love and sustenance of the Source of Life itself. So the more you choose to spiritually empower the divine to assist you, the stronger and more conscious your relationship becomes – in other words, in keeping good spiritual company you begin to realise your true nature.

BLOSSOMS OF THE SKY DANCER

Kuan Yin dances creative energy and light across the sky, causing blossoms to descend. In the same way, when we tap into our spiritual power of creation, we cause our life and all of life around us, to bloom. Creation is a natural spiritual power within you, beloved. Force can slow down the process. It is time to stop striving and to allow your manifestation to occur. Trust, let go, allow your creation to flow.

You are creating something important right now, something that is aligned with heavenly forces and light, that is significant for the path of spiritual awakening on this planet. Whether you are fully conscious of it or not, it IS happening. Kuan Yin will support you in your manifestation with her Sky Dance which calls the divine light of inspiration and support into earthly creation, so that we can all experience the divine in form here on earth.

Yin power is the consciousness and “beingness” that allows us to draw into our lives that which we desire. Focus more on allowing, flowing, surrendering and participating in the greater flow, rather than the usual ways in Western culture of doing, making things happen, forcing, intending and holding. Balance doing with being.

Wishing you a glorious week filled with joy, laughter and connection to self, source and others.

Happy Wonderful Monday delicious lovely! How did you fare with the energy of the Full Moon and the Solstice? A lot of people shared with me that they felt rather fractious, fragmented and feisty! I will admit, I too felt in a very similar vein and found myself a tad sharper with people than normal and getting rather frustrated when things didn’t go according to plan, thankfully I used some crystals, essential oils and various grounding practices to keep bringing me back to looking at things “through a love lens”, in other words, running my thoughts and words through my heart before I opened my mouth – well most of the time! (Apologies to those who encountered me when I wasn’t doing that, or when I was hungry.)

So I invite you before you pick a card or ask a question to drop into your heart.

Gently close your eyes and take a deep cleansing breath in all the way down to your belly button and past it, as you exhale let it go with a sigh. We are going to do 7 of these gorgeous breathes, each one getting a little slower, a little longer and a little deeper. As you breathe imagine a gorgeous huge sunflower is following the sun, from sunrise to sunset. As the beautiful flower slowly pans from one side to another a golden arc of light is being created by the gently moving head of the sunflower.

That arc of light flips upside down and becomes a vessel filled with all this delicious golden energy that drop down like a gentle rainfall of energy, from the golden orb of the sun. Imagine you can bathe in the vessel of golden energy. It feels so nourishing and good. Stay with that feeling and allow it to settle into your heart. Feel this glorious golden light washing away your cares, your worries and radiating out into the world in all its golden glory. In your own time open your eyes and with your heart centred and open to receiving whatever it needs to hear, pick a card.

Ready?

GOING BEYOND NORMAL

On the path of life there are deciding moments where we can choose to go with the mainstream or we can dare to take a bolder, more authentic and trusting way – even if it seems riskier or less safe. To rely solely on logic and science, without incorporating the mysterious and magical is a recipe for an existence that is far too dray! The sacred rebel within our hearts will always choose a juicier approach to life. You are currently approaching such a choice point.

There is a time and place for logic, strategy, planning and measurable outcomes. These are not bad tools to have but we must be vigilant not to worship them or allow them to quash our less rational, but equally valuable decision-making tools: intuition, feelings and those things you know, without knowing how you know them! You are being asked to stay open to the intuitive approach in your life, your work, your creativity as well as in your spiritual journey. You are moving outside of the plan and logic! You are living on the border of what is socially accepted. This is good. This is fringe-dwelling freedom. You now have a chance to live from the heart more deeply and expressively than ever before. You can give up forcing or squashing yourself down into a very limited set of so-called desirable qualities like intellect and control.

You are going to be breaking with tradition. Perhaps not entirely but at least in a way that is meaningful to you. This will require you to have courage in your convictions and faith in your heart truths. This will help you inspire others around you to step out of fear and live more freely and lovingly. It’s time to get a bit wild and let nature take its course!

SHE FEELS, SHE KNOWS

LEGACY OF LIGHT

You are being asked to honour the legacy of light that is your sacred birthright. This is a sacred endowment from the great universal source of light to humanity. It is the light of wisdom, creativity, radical courage, love and respect that is passed down from the heart of each generation to the next. The legacy of light is your spiritual birthright to refine and shine your essence into the world….to be like a sun, radiant and unapologetic of your nature.

The more you are nourished by this legacy of light from your past, the more you become a bearer of the legacy for those that will be supported by your light in the future. A creative choice you are making, or have made, or soon will make, is one that is in alignment with your sacred purpose and spiritual path of healing and growth. The legacy of light cannot be ignored without some detriment to your sense of wellbeing. If you were asking about a particular question and chose this card, then part of the answer to your question is that the issue at hand is one of utmost importance to your spiritual growth.

The legacy of light also ask you to call on the unconditionally loving support that exists for you, every day. This light will offer you all manner of assistance. To not call upon it is like starving because you have no means to acquire food, whilst a feast lays before your eyes – if only you would partake of it! You have some special creative and healing offering to make to the world in this lifetime. You will leave a legacy of light for the greater good upon this planet and you will be lovingly supported in many ways by the great creative universal intelligence when you ask for help.

Wishing you a delicious, fantabulous week and remember the sunflower!

Happy wonderful Monday, delicious lovelies! Are you ready to start a new week all full of vim, vigour and anticipation?

This last weekend was Grad for the high school here, so lots of wonderful young people got dressed up and were fully celebrated by their community. I love watching the ceremonies and seeing these wonderful teens in their suits and dresses as they tentatively step out and forward. However, I do have mixed emotions around this ceremony, a sadness that they are leaving their youth and entering out into the world and a joy that they are filled to the brim with ideas, anticipation, and a restless energy to go make their mark on the world.

So how are you going to make your mark on the world this week? What guidance do you need?

I invite you to pause for a moment and close your eyes and see, sense or feel that you are within your heart space. Imagine this as a beautiful space with a body of quiet reflective water and masses of sweeping willow trees dipping over the water’s edges. In this sacred space within your heart, you become aware of a Nyad sitting near the largest willow tree, her hair and robes gently moving in a light breeze. As she smiles at you and raises her hands in a healing mudra, a soft breeze of healing energy flows into your heart, helping you open and release. Allow her energy to flow through your heart gently dissolving any cord or attachment that is draining you. Intend that this light in your heart becomes like a white fire of energy, that flows down to your navel and infuses it with power, energy and vitality. Imagine cords snapping back into your energy field, no longer leaking your power out of your aura. Take another deep breath and gently close your hands together in prayer mudra at your heart centre and when you are ready slowly open your eyes.

So are you ready? Really?

GATES OF HEAVEN

All beings have an ultimate spiritual destiny of happiness and freedom. Beloved Kuan Yin shines tireless compassion upon all Life to this end. Yet sometimes attachments, lower vibrational beings, entities and elementals become frightened of divine love and believe they will do better to hid in human energy fields instead. This blocks progress towards liberation where human beings and lower vibrational beings can pass through the Gates of Heaven, into peace, bliss and homecoming to the spiritual Source of all Life. You may consciously sense attachments or spiritual presence that is not of highest vibration and needs to be released from your energy field or you may just feel angry, tired, depleted or “not yourself” sometimes. You may be holding onto some old energies that you need to release that do not belong to you, It is important that you keep your energy clean and clear and call back to yourself all parts of you, as leaving any part of you attached to another’s energy field out of fear is not going to help you grow anymore. The time has come to own your power.

THE LOTUS THRONE

The same Lotus wisdom that enlightens beloved Kuan Yin and all spiritual masters is the very same Lotus Light within your own heart. It can take great courage to trust your own inner light to ascend the throne of your own inner spiritual authority, especially if the light of others around you seems more powerful than your own. Trust your inner guidance above all others now. Have faith in your own heart. Know that you are divine. Trust that your own inner teacher is growing stronger, that you have more spiritual wisdom than you may have previously acknowledged and that you will benefit greatly from heeding your own heart’s guidance at this time. In your admirable willingness to be open, to learn and to grow, you are wise not to surrender your discernment. Does all guidance you have been following feel true in your heart? You are being asked to ascend to the Lotus Throne of your own divine Soul. Trust your courage. Your journey is taking you into spiritual maturity and you will need to acknowledge that you have spiritual authority within your own heart. Yes, you can learn from others, but always honour your inner teacher.

SOUND THE FIERCE FLUTE

Discernment empowers you to make choices that are aligned with your spiritual intentions. Like a fierce sounding flute cutting through all vibrations with purity and intent, your discernment allows you to stay true to your values and spiritual destiny, without getting caught up in distraction. If you wish to grow spiritually through love, joy, peace and abundance, then discerning between higher and lower vibrational choices is helpful. Discernment is not judgement. It does not render some things better or worse than others. It is the power of selection based on desire or intention. If we intend to grow through joy and adventure, rather than fear or suffering, then we can use our discernment to make choices that feel expansive and uplifting, rather than constrictive or draining.

Discernment is necessary in all realms of life from the physical to the spiritual. From the sort of lifestyle we choose to led, to the people we choose to spend time with or the ways that we spend most of our time, even the kinds of spiritual energies that we invoke, discerning choices help us craft our reality. A wise use of discernment helps us to be truthful, clear and accurate in our perception. With truth there are no “nasty surprises” later on,. We can ascertain what is real and what is false. Your discerning powers are growing and you are capable of greatest discernment when you listen to your heart and are able to let go of fear and shame which can cloud our perception. There is a situation in your life that you need to see from your heart rather than from appearances. Don’t be afraid to trust your own vision.

Have a wonderful week, be kind to yourself and remember to drop into your heart – it will never lead you in the wrong direction.
