Spring Equinox, Libra Full Moon Eclipse and Change.

Happy Magnetic,Magickal, Marvellous, Musing, Merry, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting March Monday!!!!!!!!

First off, thank you to all the amazing emails, comments and messages I received after the post about betrayal. I so appreciated them all and the sharing that occurred. Also, thank you for checking why there wasn’t a reading last week.

After the last reading, I had two amazing friends die suddenly.

And whilst I was reflecting on them, and prepping dinner – I managed to successfully slice through my nail bed and take the top of my thumb off. Will say, it hurt like a bugger! (Note to self, pay attention to the super sharp knife!)

Anyhow, I don’t know about you but the Spring Equinox and Eclipse energy are fully ramping up!

Tuesday, March 19th is Spring Equinox, Ostara and it offers so much for you to tap into.

My dreams have been rather odd (cool, but odd) and my brain and body are making me really look at the seeds that I am intentionally planting, both figuratively and literally.

So what does Spring Equinox mean for you?

Ostara (Spring Equinox) is that delicious place of change.

If you want to learn more, go deeper and explore this glorious energy there is the Ostara Magickal Guide (also known as OMG!).

March has that energy of transition, caught between winter’s grasp and spring’s open arms.

The Equinox brings the time when light is perfectly balanced with the darkness.

This is a powerful time that represents seeds of intention, awakening, growth and rebirth.

It’s the perfect time to do some reflection and align yourself with the habits that will allow you to truly flourish this season.

So let me ask:-

How will you support yourself during this transition?

How will you grow, glow & flourish this spring?

What types of balance are you creating in your life?

What are the seeds that you want to plant for yourself?

Remember, this is the time of Beginnings, Fresh Energy, Setting Intentions and planting them with love and care.

With the Spring Equinox your spirit is waking up with new ideas & new dreams for your life.

What are you going to plant?

Equinox is a good time to consider balance in our lives, not only of happiness and sadness, but also of the areas in which we are active and passive, successful and falling short, giving and taking.

What are you receiving (and do you want to keep it)?

And what are you giving (and do you need to)?

“It is said that on the Equinox, the energy grid of the planet moves into higher harmony, allowing us to soak in the healing powers of Mother Nature with greater ease.

With the energy grid of the planet alive and awakened, we can also replenish our own energy centres of the body and send our thoughts and intentions out into the Universe for creation.

Along with this powerful Equinox energy, we also celebrate the start of the astrological year on this day. This is because, in Western Astrology, the March Equinox coincides with the start of Aries Season, the first sign of the zodiac.”

And right after this glorious Equinox time where we consider balance we have a powerful Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Libra coming in on March 25th.

This is the first eclipse of the year and the season.

This is the perfect opportunity to assess, reflect and leave behind anything that is disturbing your balance or preventing you from achieving true harmony.

Yes?

Perfect, then let’s crack on with the reading. If these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you to Blessed Be.

“May these cards and guides offer you ways to enter into deeper appreciation of your life and its manifold blessings. May you have hope, understanding and kindness. And most of all, may you know deep within your soul, that thou art blessed.”

Frigging perfect!

So take a moment to become present. Right here, right now, right in this minute.

As you breathe, allow your mind’s eye to show you the balance. The balance between what you are giving and receiving. Then when you are ready pick the card that calls to you.

If you want to go deep. As a gift to you on this Spring Equinox time, a glorious guided Spring Equinox meditation/visualisation.

Did you remember to pick?

Then let’s go have a good gander shall we?

A BLESSING FROM YOUR ANCESTORS

A blessing to bring you the gifts and guardianship of your ancestral family.

Within your bloodline, and within your spiritual line, there are thousands of relatives who care for you, and whose cells now sing within your body. You are their future dream, you carry forward the hopes of your distance and most ancient family.

They have seen so much – yes, in other times and faraway places, but they come to you now and bless you with all the wisdom of their experiences, making you the sum total of a thousand thousand wise ones.

Call upon the wisdom of the blood, the old ones who stand behind you, supporting and holding you, clearly giving to you the knowledge that experience taught them.

Let only the ancestors who can free you, aid you, support you, and celebrate the best of themselves within you come forward, and may the ailments and regrets of those who have gone before teach you what not to do in this time.

If the family be thin on the ground, or if there is estrangement at present, let the arms of the old ones hold you, form a circle about you, and infuse you with everything you may need at this moment.

You are loved across the distance of time.

May you be blessed and may you have with you the essence of the Elder, the Teacher, the one who shows, the one who shares with the younger ones, the one who keeps the skills alive inside you, and all about you.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING ON A FRIENDSHIP

A blessing for a friendship where your best self is given permission to emerge and grow, and where mutual love is shared in good times and in bad.

May your friendship be blessed with laughter, but never at the expense of the dignity of one of you.

May your friendship be a delight to you both, a time of warmth and sharing, give and take, small offerings of what you have sent back and forth between you. May you be kind to each other, and honest too.

May you have the trust that true friendship needs to speak of things for the soul, and may there be loyalty, one to the other, without chains or obedience, but freely given.

May there be affinities of the spirit, differences to exalt in, and if harsh thoughts or words enter in and blight the path or your companionship, may you pick them up as a stone in the road, and move them out of your way.

Let there be mutual care, and may your friendship endure amidst the inconsistencies of the world. Let your friendship have its seasons, but let it turn, on and on, ever – changing, ever-returning, to the place where you find love for each other, and greater love of self for knowing one another.

BLESSED BE!

A BLESSING OF FORGIVENESS

A blessing to be able to be free of the burden of grudges and vengeance, a prayer to help you open up to the blessing that is forgiveness.

Forgiveness is a tricky beast – and yes, for all it is a gentle word, it is a great beast, forgiveness. For when we seek to forgive, we must wrestle with the wrongdoing that lies at the heart of our resistance to let go of the pain we are holding on to. When we need to forgive, it is often that we are too raw, too far away from justice to be able to even touch the side of the balm of forgiveness.

Yet staying angry for long periods of time can develop into a compacted bitterness, and bitterness is a gall to all who wish to live freely.

But what can we do when the wrong is still very much alive, and to forgive another seems to be diminishing their harm, and their potential to harm others.

Justice and forgiveness must work hand in hand, and in this blessing they will now begin to entwine, so that while you begin to forgive first yourself, for whatever wrong was done to you, there is often an element of self-blame.

First, know that whatever wrong was done to you, it is not your fault. And begin the work of forgiving yourself.

May the blessing of this self-forgiveness be bestowed upon you now, dear friend. Know you will gently untangle the doubt and recriminations that have settled like thorns about your heart, and invaded your mind’s peace. And as begin to forgive yourself, you will also begin to find forgiveness for the injustices you have endured

Let the anger burn down into coals from which you, phoenix-like, can arise.

And know you have forgiven – forgiven the other for their dark gift. Forgiven life. And most of all, delivered the pure medicine of forgiveness to yourself.

BLESSED BE

Wowzer, those were glorious guides. As quite frankly, if you aren’t willing to work with forgiveness you can’t create something different, something more supportive. Equinox blessings and see you next week! Remember to get your Ostara Magickal Guide!

Betrayal, Boundaries, Intuition and Pragmatic Progress.

Jenny Heston · 12:12 pm ·

Happy Miraculous, Misty, Melodious, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting March Monday!

Whoot, the first Monday of March, and did you remember to say “White Rabbits” on Friday?

So I will give you a heads up. We are talking about some deep, slightly intense things as well as the March energy and what it offers you. Why?

The reason being I have been mulling over how to write this reading and have been given kicks in the arse over and over again this week to be fully transparent: is my writing, business and life are all intertwined and are who I am. I have no choice.

So let’s talk about betrayal.

Have you ever felt betrayed, been betrayed or betrayed someone else?

I will say as a therapist, betrayal either of one’s self, done to you by someone else, or you doing it to someone else is one of the deepest wounds.

We talk about the witch wound, the mother wound, the sister wound, but betrayal is genderless, and it’s ugly, unpleasant to say the least and can leave you feeling in complete turmoil and stirs up all sorts of grief, shame, and blame.

There is even such a thing as Betrayal Trauma!

But what is Betrayal? Betrayal is to do with destroying trust and in layman’s terms – shafting someone and can often come from misrepresentation (thus deception), gaslighting and various other ways.

Why am I bringing this up?

As you know I have been germinating, creating, planning and birthing a glorious new project for years (actually there are 3 of them and 2 more burbling up)!

Someone that I have known for years, and I considered a friend as well as a colleague kept wanting to participate. So why not?

This is where Boundaries and Intuition come in.

As much as I cared for this person and valued some of their skill set, I didn’t fully trust them.

There was no “logical” reason, other than for some reason they wanted to be added as an admin to all the groups and programmes I was doing. (That should have been a red flag.)

So over the last 4 years I had made excuses not to participate in things together that would have my name and reputation attached to them, as there was that niggle, that -hmmmmm feeling.

This time I overrode it. I will never, ever make that mistake again.

I had other colleagues, friends continually say – amazing creation, but this person doesn’t smell right. Guess what? Deep in my soul I knew it and overrode it.

I even had my guides say it and I overrode it.

Even when things were presented as “helping” (but actually it meant control), and I would speak to it. The response didn’t go well, so to placate I made my boundaries too fluid, as after all this was a friend, right?

Bad plan.

Well you can guess what happened, I don’t need to go into the gory details, but needless to say it went sideways. And in a big fucking way! Like a huge way and things that were mine, were no longer mine.

And the fun piece was this all happened just after the Virgo Full Moon which holds the energy of purging, clearing from the inside out and listening to our hearts, body, minds, and souls. (You seriously can’t make this shit up!)

So yes, I went through shock, betrayal, the disregulated nervous system, feeling pig sick and “oh fuck”, all of the many and varied responses to a betrayal.

But to be honest the bottom line was I felt so frigging stupid and angry with myself for not honouring my boundaries and intuition, (and as I found out later – being played.)

Then I was handed a lifeline. Two other women who had experienced the same thing reached out to me and shared their experiences, which were the same. One shared with me that for the last four years this person had wanted to do a collaboration as they wanted my audience.

Parasitic was the word that was used.

So why am I sharing this with you?

If you have ever experienced betrayal I want you to know it’s not you, it’s them.

In my field of work, one of the worst forms of an abuser is a victim – as they won’t own their piece and everything is personal for them.

So it’s important to talk to people, feel your feelings, disconnect from the person or situation, love the fuck out of yourself, forgive yourself, and be uber kind to yourself. (Those are just a few of the things you can do).

So I am dusting my bruised soul off, loving the crap out of myself and sending this delightful individual tons of blessings – as I know my value, worth and work, and I feel sad for them, and wish them well.

And for all you gorgeous people who have expressed an interest in The Numinous Collective, it is happening with the clarity, depth and all the goodness I originally planned.

So you will hear more about it this week.

Funnily enough all this bullshit ties into the energy of March which is Pragmatic Progress.

As Lena very kindly shares with us:

Focus on getting as emotionally and intuitively as clear as possible about what you want for your future. Sometimes it is easier to contemplate what you don’t want and set boundaries against manifesting the same old thing.

Along with the positive and forward movement, there is a foggy, hazy influence that can be supportive in dissolving an attachment you may still have to an old pattern. It can also support your creativity and imagination to dream a bit outside the box and envision your future in ways you were reluctant to do in the past.

Okay, I have talked enough. And if you have actually read this far – please know how much I appreciate you and am so glad you are part of my community!

Let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the guides and asked who wanted to come out – there was a BooYah moment as these gorgeous ones are all about Sovereignty, honesty and authenticity. Right now, right this minute, please embrace all the inhabitants of your inner realm, because each deserves respect and a place at the table. Even the unruly, the inconvenient, the ugly.

When your intent is to create rather than compete, you don’t have to dominate. Your influence is enough.

This is power with rather than power over.

Invite in all the pieces of yourself, all the things that are bothering you today and wrap them in the blanket of inclusion and assert your authority.

So darling one I invite you to just breathe and think about your own boundaries and intuition. How are they? Are they healthy, strong and pliable? Do they need a wee bit of tending like a glorious garden fence? With that energy swirling I invite you to breathe and then pick the card or cards that resonate for you at this moment, with this forward moving energy of March and trust.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

PSYCHE

Nobody runs into the arms of change with mad passionate delight yelling, “Pick me! Pick me!”

And yet, without change, there is no growth. And since no growth comes from comfort, you might as well get used to being uncomfortable.

The caterpillar has a complete meltdown, literally, inside its chrysalis. The cells of that mushy substance, known as imago cells, are no longer caterpillar cells but they are not yet butterfly cells.

You might say imago cells represent a third creature, one that doesn’t know what it is yet, one that is unbecoming and becoming at the same time, carrying the image (imago) of what it might yet be when it emerges.

Please get comfortable in your chrysalis, and make friends with not knowing. This is the only place where your new wings are grown, along with the new image of what you can be in the world.

It’s okay to not know. In fact, it’s glorious.

Embrace the messy mush of cells your current reality has gifted you.

Somewhere between unbecoming and becoming, your wings are growing, and the imago containing who you can be is embracing its colour, radiance and vitality !

SISTERHOOD OF RECIPROCITY

Tend to your partnerships.

This could be a time to review or negotiate business, renew romance or friendship, or nurture the very partnership you have with your own soul.

Much of our world suffers from a lack of understanding what our ancestors knew so well: all life is dependent on the generosity of our planet. There is no thriving without her good graces for food, water, shelter and beauty, and we’d do well to remember it with reciprocity.

Is it time to share? Celebrate her bounty? Give back to her resources? To your relationships or communities?

Long ago we honoured the lack of resources in the winter season with hopeful light-giving ceremonies. We celebrated the harvest with offerings and gratitude. We marked each season, each birth, death and love affair by honouring our Earth Mother as benefactress.

Carry this practice forward, know that all parts of your life are interdependent with the elements, creatures and plants of the earth, the same way that your healthy psyche relies on all parts working together.

Balance your genius with your shadow. Reconcile love with fear. Strike a balance between logic and emotion.

All parts of your life that you are proud of must dance with those monstrous parts you fear in order to experience a bountiful, creative life.

Take stock of where you are entwined in a healthy partnership, and where you are not.

This is a time for tending the dance of reciprocity.

THE LION QUEEN

Check your boundaries.

Are they crafted securely to honour your sovereignty?

To uplift and support your values and enhance your own sense of inherent value?

Or are they softly drawn, slipping loose to accommodate others’ needs and wants before your own? Are they aligned with sacrifice? Selflessness? Compliancy?

Are you protecting your good girl image by caretaking the needs of others? Or are you protecting your precious life force by giving others an opportunity to develop their own sovereignty by saying “no”?

You know you can’t let what’s urgent get in the way of what’s important.

Your deep inner life is the source from which all your creativity, intimacy and relationships flow, so protect both your energy and integrity by drawing a circle around your creative time, your quiet time, and whatever space – internal and external – that imbues you with a sense of belonging.

Now is the time to get fierce with your boundaries.

You are worth it!

Oh my fucking goddess! You seriously can’t make this shit up. What amazing guides as we step into March, dancing with boundaries, intuition, releasing betrayal and moving into the place of Pragmatic Progress! Whoot!

Have a stupendous week. Always, always, always please remind yourself of your sovereignty, your boundaries, your delicious kind heart and shake the shit off!

March is romping in, which means Spring Equinox! White Rabbits! And The Numinous Collective!

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Moony, Mysterious, Magnificent, Moodling, Manifesting Monday!

How was this Full Moon for you (the one that happened on Saturday?)

I will say for the few days prior to her culmination my dreams were most certainly odd, one of them had a feral mole in! (As in the animal).

When I bolted up from the dream the moon was pouring in her light all over my bed, so I bathed in moonlight.. Which was fabulous!

Remember, this moon invites change and transition for you, to step into something new and melded with the Wood Dragon energy – YES!

But as we know – change and transition can feel hard and scary, but this is the year dear heart, this is your year.

Also, just as the moon was coming to culmination (what a great word) – The Numinous Collective Doors Opened!

I will say I am so fucking excited and tickled about this project, as between Lisa and I we have about 55 years of teaching, living and breathing this stuff.

This is such a powerful, glorious and rich container – hence why we are doing applications, as that is the transformative energy around it.

If you are really serious about your growth, transformation and really stepping into yourself and your Sovereignty – come check out The Numinous Collective!

I’m tickled that March is romping in at the end of this week as I love Spring and most certainly adore Spring Equinox! It’s that beautiful point of birth, creation and planting your intentional seeds, but we will discuss that more next week.

However, do let me remind you to holler White Rabbits on Friday as the first thing you say when you open your eyes!

Why? Good question – I have been doing it since I was wee, but I went and did a bit of digging as to where the saying came from.

What I found was, in fact, “White rabbits, white rabbits’ was written in the ‘Notes and Queries’ book from 1909.

The word must be spoken aloud, and be the first word said in the month to bring great luck.

It also was a common belief among RAF bomber aircrew during WW2 that saying “white rabbits” the very first thing upon waking would protect oneself.”

Don’t you just love finding out where traditions have come from? I do.

Okay, enough chuntering let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

When I asked my guides how they wanted to share with you this week I was tickled to see that they picked the wonderful Sacred Destiny Oracle, who have been rather shy about doing public readings, but this week they were 100% on board.

So in case you have never met them, let me introduce you – and if you have met them before, let me reintroduce you (as not to do so is rude!). “You have a sacred destiny; we all do.

There is a powerful and profound reason that you are here on the planet.

However, sometimes it may be difficult to understand what that reason is and perceive what is required on your journey into the future. It may be a challenge to know what the next step in life should be.

This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul. In ancient traditions, shamans, medicine women, witches, visionaries, and prophets all accessed hallowed knowledge by observing their natural environment.

These wise beings stepped through mystic gateways into inner realms to bring back meaning to the seemingly random event of life. “

Woosah! Perfect guides for this perfect time! (You seriously can’t make this shit up!)

Thus, I invite you to slow down for a few minutes. Just breathe yourself back into your body and the here and now. Let your breathing slow down, your jaw soften and a sense of release and creation fill your mind’s eye. Gently swirling and soothing you. Then, when you are ready, pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

If you need a bit more support there is a wee guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a peek!

ENLIGHTENMENT

Our beautiful home galaxy is so large that if you travelled at the speed of light, it would take you 100,000 years to go from one end to the other. (It is small compared to some galaxies – for example, the Hercules A galaxy would take 1.5 million years to cross at the speed of light.)

The realm of galaxies is so vast and so wide that it is beyond human comprehension, which is why the galaxy often symbolises great enlightenment as well a faith in the forces much greater than us.

So what does this sacred landscape want you to know?

Enlightenment occurs when one steps out of the confines of an ordinary definition of self and expands into a greater awareness of the self within the Universe.

You are now reaching into the invisible realm of Spirit and connecting with what you cannot see. Forces beneath the surface are supporting you on your journey.

Have FAITH in yourself! You are so much more than you believe yourself to be.

Have patience that there is a plan unfolding. The sky’s the limit! You are entering into a time of expansive transformation in a luminous and remarkable way.

Trust that the changes ahead are for the greater good, for most certainly they are.

And if you ever doubt, step outside and let the stars remind you!

COMMUNITY

The towering ancient trees in a forest look distinct from one another.

Yet beneath the surface of the earth, their roots are intertwined.

The roots act like a kind of communication system throughout the community of trees. Instantaneous messages travel through this underground system. Nutrients can travel on this network.

Trees at one side of the forest can supply the nourishment required on the other side of the forest. Danger at one end of the network is communicated to the far end of the intertwined roots.

What does this Sacred Landscape want you to know?

Support is all around you, even if you are not consciously aware of it. Allow yourself to be supported. Give encouragement to others.

The more you allow yourself to be supported, the more your dreams can come true. If you believe that you have to do it all alone, you will.

Your true family is not just blood relationships; sometimes the strongest family ties are friends who know who you are.

Sometimes they are your ancestors and soul families who reside in the Spirit.

It’s time to find your community and your “people.”

It’s the time of remembering that your people are at your side – believing in you, loving you, and standing strong beside you.

Call on your community, and ask for their assistance. They are only a thought away.

ILLUMINATION

As the sun risers over the far mountains, mists begin to spiral upward, illuminated by the golden, radiant rays of morning light.

In many traditions, mist symbolises what is called the “mystic veil”, which represents an entrance point into unseen realms.

In ancient and native cultures, mists are associated with mystical and magical inner dimensions. Mist in the mountains represents higher states of consciousness.

What does this Sacred Landscape want you to know?

The upward, spiralling mists rising in the mountains suggest that those in the realm of Spirit – your spirit protectors, ancestors, and guardians – are close at hand, assisting you on your upward journey of illumination.

They are protecting you and supporting you.

Your spiritual life is expanding by leaps and bounds.

Even if you can’t see what’s ahead, Spirit is close at hand.

Where’s your tribe to connect with and support you?

Trust your heart and what you feel more than what you see and what you think, and you will be guided in the most perfect direction.

Don’t let fear influence your choice.

Woosah, what glorious guides for this delicious week. So my dear one, wishing you a week filled with ease, release, creating and laughter. Oh and a big posy of bobbly headed daffodils. Remember to check out The Numinous Collective – we look forward to welcoming you home!

Big hugs and squeezes!

The Snow Moon is coming filled with Mystique, and the Doors to The Numinous Collective are Opening this week!

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Mysterious, Mellifluous, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

How are you gorgeous bean?

Did you have a glorious week? I had so much fun on Valentine’s Day, we shot an episode of our Kitchen Table Confidential podcast and video, where we talked about love. It was so much fun!

(And BTW if you have a topic that you want explored in a real, raw and knowledgeable way, let us know!)

In the afternoon I wandered downtown where people are camping on the street and took them wee packages of dark/white chocolate, cranberry, oatmeal cookies.

Oh my gosh, the stories that were shared were incredible, heart rending and mind blowing. So do please remember, when you see someone who is homeless, remind yourself – you don’t know their fucking story.

So don’t judge.

You might want to say “There but for the grace of God go I.” (Makes us all a bit more humble)

I performed two amazing weddings this last weekend, and they were both so deliciously different and the ceremonies we created really reflected the personalities of each couple.

And with today being a holiday here, I have purged so many decks or oracle cards and tarot cards and left them in the wee libraries for people to find.

It felt the right thing to do with this delicious energy of change and transformation flowing around, and whomever picks them – it’s the perfect time and person.

This week all sorts of yumminess is happening.

The first thing is the doors to The Numinous Collective are opening, so make sure you are on the pre-list (thank you Goddess for changing our plans!)

And I am so friggin excited about it all. This is going to be an intimate, deep, transformative group – hence why we are taking applications and having chats prior.

The doors to Mastery and Manifestation are opening as well, and I love, love, love teaching this.

Then on Saturday, February 24th we have the glorious SNOW MOON (aka The Quickening Moon or the Hungry Moon).

The February Full Snow Moon has a certain mystique and power that instantly draws us in.

Winter is still ever-present, and freezing winds cut through our jackets and force us to tighten our scarves. Depending on where you live, snow continues to fall, and it can start to feel like these bitter and icy days will never end.

However, a stir is just beneath the surface, a quickening heart full of tiny changes that may go unnoticed by others.

The days begin to get longer, some animals begin their mating season, and the birds are a bit more active.

As the sunlight strengthens, your dreams and ambitions for the year are beginning to take shape as well.

The Snow Moon in February signifies a period of change and transition.

The weather is unpredictable during this time, swinging between bright sunshine and snowy, cloud-covered days.

Take a moment to reflect on what people in ancient times had to contend with during this season. They spent so much time storing their food and supplies and slowly watched them dwindle. Will they make it through the last of the cold winter days that lay ahead?

Remember, growth during the Snow Moon isn’t always comfortable or easy.

Figure out ways you can relax and surrender to this transitional season. How can you clear out the unnecessary to make room for the meaningful?

During this time, we start to move past the goal-setting stage and into the realistic planning stages. How are you going to make your intentions come to fruition?

Direct your magical intentions on rituals this month focused on new habits, goals, and plans for the future.

Take some time to really focus and be present. Contemplate your personal and spiritual intentions. This is a truly magical time, full of beautiful energy and momentum!

This is the energy of change, hope, creativity, and growth.

Okay enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading. This week we have glorious new guides and the introduction they have asked me to give you is this:

Tap into the ancient wisdom of the animal kingdom by embracing your unlimited intuition.

So darling one, take a moment to just BE. Breathe in the energy of change, hope, creativity and growth. What do you want to be different for you this year? What would you like to release at this Snow Moon and how can you make the changes you want to experience? This is not a “thinking” exercise, this is a feeling one. Allow whatever that needs to flow up, to come up and then when you are ready. Ask your wise inner self to pick.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

SPIDER

Create

It’s time to weave your creativity and imagination into being.

By weaving our individual stories into words, music, dance, art, or any creation of our own making, we craft a web of our self for others to view.

Use your creativity and vision to explore your inner self and express it honestly.

Druids believe that the spider is a weaver of the written word.

The Druid Ogham alphabet, with its crossed lines, may be found in the web of a spider.

The web may be seen as interconnecting stories and pathways, or a woven spiral from the past to the future.

If you are feeling stagnation or creative blocks, it is the cobwebs that form in your mind when it is dusty and littered.

Try and find your creative voice once more after it has been lost amidst the mire of other people’s demands. Make art for yourself and no one else, and try to rediscover your footing on the delicate web of creativity.

It’s time to create and weave your destiny.

WOLF

Instinct

It’s time to start paying attention to your instincts and trusting your own animal-self.

As a human, we are grounded in the natural world and should respect our senses and gut reactions.

The wolf is an integral creature in many North American indigenous cultures. The observation of the wolf as a wanderer made them synonymous with path-finding and trail-blazing.

The wolf is inviting you to follow your instincts and find your own path through the wilderness.

Remember to trust your own instincts in the face of those who might tie you down or attempt to overpower, or diminish you.

Do not suppress your instincts and try to stuff your emotions into a bottle to keep others happy, if you do, they might just explode!

It’s time for you to walk with your inner Wolf gorgeous one.

JACKALOPE

Believe

It’s time to believe and appreciate the unknown.

The mythological jackalope, a rabbit or hare with the horns of a deer or antelope, is found in folklore all over the world and consistently ignites the imagination of storytellers through the present day.

The jackalope reminds us that many unbelievable stories begin with fact, and to appreciate magick in our everyday.

The jackalope is a symbol of unique perspective and eccentricity, and is a symbol of powerful creativity.

It carries the message to believe in yourself, and know that there are forces within you that have yet to be seen or believed by others.

Use your imagination and your gifts to find the balance between the Imaginal and the Earth based worlds.

Release any old stories that hold your imagination hostage.

Wowzer, perfect cards for this energy! Whoot! Wishing you a stupendous week, a glorious Full Moon and if you want to find out more about the Numinous Collective, make sure you are on the pre-list, as spaces are limited. If you want to know more about Mastery and Manifestation, please feel free to email me. Massive hugs, squeezes and warmth.

Chinese New Year – Let’s Welcome in the Wood Dragon……..and so much more!

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Happy Miraculous, Magickal, Majestic, Mellow, Momentous, Mystical, Merry, Mischievous, Marmalade Made Manifesting Monday!

(Had to slip Marmalade in as for me marmalade on a glorious piece of fresh bread toasted – nom, nom, nom!)

Okay delicious lovely, grab a cuppa as we have lots to cover this week!

We are talking about the energy of February, which is about “Building the Foundation”. (And if you remember January was all about creating your Vision.) On February 9th we have the Aquarius New Moon, and the next day on the 10th we say goodbye to the Year of the Rabbit and welcome in the auspicious Year of the Wood Dragon!

Now, I don’t know about you but I am super pumped about all that is transpiring.

I have been dancing with my vision (which is rock solid clear) and putting the finishing touches to a collaborative programme with the wonderful Lisa Wolfe. And on Chinese New Year, we will open up applications to join The Numinous Circle, an incredible 9 month container.

I’ve also finalised the Mastery and Manifestation 3 month container, as well as mapped out 12 amazing Master Classes for the year! And last but not least there is a Sacred Site retreat coming in the Fall of this year! And changes happening in The Creatrix Circle – phew.

So can you say Hell Yes! – as I am.

I have been dancing with Vision and Foundation to the nth degree, as I am most certainly a Dragon and I am stepping forth loud and fucking proud!

So what does Building the Foundation mean? Let’s let Lena explain that one:

“When creating a new structure, a good strong foundation is a necessary first step in the process. When we are dreaming up and envisioning the end-result, the foundation is not what we usually focus on in our vision. However, if you don’t have a solid foundation, you don’t have a solid structure.

January was focused on having a vision and making a plan. Now it is time to commit to the vision and the plan and follow through with building the foundation for your vision to manifest.

This foundation is not a literal one but rather an energetic one that includes your body, mind and spirit, as well as parts of your physical environment that support who you are.”

This monthly energy theme, ties into the Aquarius New Moon energy.

This Aquarius New Moon invites you to look at your feelings of security and what makes you feel secure and safe so you can really thrive in this world.

If we look at where these feelings of security and comfort are in our own bodies, we can begin to see a link between how small or large our life is.

The more confident, secure, and safe we feel, the more likely we are to expand our wings, take chances, and live more fully. The less confident, secure, or safe we feel, the more likely we will play it small.

So lots of stuff, especially around freedom or lack of, sense of tribe and community or lack of, and feeling of hope, prosperity and expansion, or lack of may come up.

Thus, harness both the monthly energy and the moon energy (yet alone the Dragon energy, which we will get to in a moment), to make some changes.

Changes that stick and allow you to tap into your inner warrior, learn, study, grow – whatever you need to.

Now for my most favourite piece – The Year of the Wood Dragon.

Interestingly enough in my family, all the females for 8 generations are Dragons. None of the males.

Think about it, Dragon only happens once every twelve years and somewhere amidst that calculation the women chose to embody that energy! Muhahaha.

So what does the Wood Dragon year bring to you?

Dragon is the only animal in the Chinese zodiac that is not of the mundane earthly world. It has the highest vision and broadest reach – they soar the highest and furthest. It’s a year to look beyond the conﬁnes and to dream big, to envision the future we want. Getting clarity on our purpose or mission is essential.

Dragon years are considered very auspicious. Symbolizing power, inner strength and courage, this is a year to actively step into our power and nobility and allow our gifts, talents and true medicine to shine out.

Authenticity is key and is of the highest vibration. We are asked to believe in ourselves, to remember who we are, to ﬁnd our own authentic story and not anyone else’s.

The exalted Dragon insists on raising the standards, set your goals high for it’s time to really step up.

“Wood energy allows us to grow, expand, and keep our vision on track for the long term. The Season of Spring is connected to the element of Wood, so this year of the Dragon will help us to create new beginnings, plant new seeds, and allow our garden to flourish.

The energy is ripe for new beginnings and undergoing new ventures, but we have to create stability and work from the heart.

Green is connected to the element of wood and the heart-chakra, so in the year of the Dragon, we are going to be constantly reminded to come back to the heart, and to open ourselves to receiving.”

Oh my giddy aunt. Do you see how all these delicious energies this month fold together? And how they all weave with the 8 energy of this year? (For those of you who chose an Opening the Door reading you will really know what I’m talking about!)

So there we have it honey. I hope you brought a cuppa and did take time to read, as this is the time to finally make the changes you have talked about sweets.

Enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading.

These are glorious new guides who insisted on coming to play, which was most interesting as they have been with me for 6 months.

Thus, let me introduce you – These are the wardens to help you deepen into your self-awareness, especially in relation to nature. These are the stewards and the guardians. They are here to guide you, protect you as much as you are called to do the same for them. Allow the natural world to weave into your day to day, open your eyes to what surrounds you and open your heart to receiving.

So my darling one, take a moment to just breathe. Just let the energy of Foundation, Clarity and Expansiveness fill your body and your mind. Allow your inner light and spark to rise up to meet it and meld with it. See you Vision, allow it to wrap around you like a glorious blanket and make you smile.

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

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to meet your new guides?

THE BOAR AND THE PUMPKIN

Confidence

With their winding vines and large, heavily seeded fruit pumpkins signify abundance, health, and resilience.

But think of the pumpkin – each one is full of seeds, all carrying the seed of potential and creation.

Meanwhile, the fierce and intelligent boar is known for its sharp tusks and aggressive movements.

The boar invites you to step into the place of Strength and Power,

Boars are associated with strength, power, and resilience. Their robust and fearless nature symbolise the ability to overcome challenges and obstacles.

So what happens when we combine pumpkin with boar?

It’s time to claim your confidence. Embrace who you are and what you know and allow any insults of attempts to damage your morale to roll off your back.

You are thick skinned like a pumpkin and courageous like a boar.

Ask yourself:

What accomplishments am I proud of?

How can I improve my confidence and sense of worth?

THE DEER AND THE OAT

Healing

The shy and gentle fallow deer is known for its white spots and the broad, velvety antlers it sheds and regrows each year.

Deer bring in the energy of gentleness, innocence, and a peaceful nature. Deer also invite you into vigilance.

Not OCD vigilance, but the attention that needs to be paid to the boundaries around you and what you are allowing in. Thus, encouraging you to stay attuned to your surroundings and inner self.

Similarly, oats are symbols of restorative nutrition.

Even in poor soil, oats can flourish, providing hearty sustenance.

You are being invited to rest and recharge.

Moderation and mindfulness are key as you recover from any trauma or a period of intense exertion.

Ask yourself:

How do I rest and recharge?

What practices nourish my soul?

THE PORCUPINE AND ANEMONE

Boundaries

The porcupine, with its impressive quills, is a well-known symbol of self-defense

According to a legend common among the Anishinaabe tribes, the porcupine got its quills by placing the branches of a hawthorn tree on its back, defending itself against the bear.

Nanabozho – the trickster spirit in Ojibwe myth – saw the porcupine’s cleverness and fashioned it a coat of quills to wear from then on.

Just as the porcupine curls into a ball to defend itself from predators, the anemone flower turns inward and down during rainstorms, protecting its delicate petals from damage.

You can’t help others unless you first help yourself.

Maintain healthy boundaries around your time and energy, giving generously only once you are sufficiently fed.

Ask yourself:

How can I ensure my needs are met?

Have I established healthy boundaries around my time and energy?

Do I respect the boundaries of others?

Wowzers! Oh my gosh, I love these guides and they tie in so well! Which one did you pick, or did you go for all? Sending you big hugs gorgeous one, please, please step all the way into these energies and come dance with me in the field of infinite possibilities. Your being, your light, your heart is needed!
