Oracle reading

September is here and the energy has changed. Fall Equinox is coming!

Happy Melodious, Musical, Magickal, Miraculous, Magnetic, Majestic, Manifesting Monday!

September is here, you can smell the difference in the air here. The mornings are cooler and the geese have started flying and the acorns are dropping like mini grenades as I walk under the Garry Oaks!

I love September (I know for some that sounds weird), but I love the impending Fall, it’s a time of harvest, a gathering together.

The mornings are crisper, the days are still warm, but there is that sense of change.

Kids are going back to school, starting a new class and making new friends. University starts again and all sorts of courses such as drumming, music, spanish and a myriad of others are offered up.

The lazy, hazy days of summer are winding down and there is a shift in the energy that invites us to try something new (even if you aren’t school age) and to be willing to release the old that may be a tad too tight (like a kids outgrown running shoes).

There is also a sense of melancholy for some people when Fall starts to whisper with her crisp breathe. The leaves are going to change and then drop from the tree and the days are most certainly getting shorter – and for some this can feel uncomfortable and lonely. Which I can totally appreciate.

Fall Equinox is almost here (and I love this celebration). It is known as Mabon and is the second harvest, beginning of August we celebrated the first harvest festival which was Lammas.

This festival is a time to look at the seeds that you sowed in the Spring, on every level, and reflect on how they have manifested. Most crops are in and the fields are beginning to look brown and are slowly going to sleep for the winter (unless they are filled with gorgeous orange pumpkins).

This is a time to celebrate the abundance and the harvest, as well as to make plans for the winter and to create community. But we will explore that more over the next couple of weeks.

The energy of September (according to the ever amazing Lena), has changed and it is RATTLING THE CAGE! (Gulp!)

As Lena shares:- “

This month we have 2 eclipses and the Equinox making for an intense time of rattling the structures of our foundations of stability, old patterns and anything we may be fiercely attached to. We have heard the phrase, “shaken to awaken” from others and that is exactly the energy of this eclipse time.

The more stubborn the structure, the more intense the rattling and shake up may be.

Some of you may experience traumatic events that open your instinctive center of survival, giving you the opportunity to clear old patterns and dump karmic debris.

And for some of you the rattling may be simply an experience of discomfort in a situation where you receive more clarity about what you really want, leading to better choices in your life. Whatever the case may be, the most important thing is to manage the aftermath proactively so you can use the lessons and guidance of the events to support your own change.

We are unpacking the trigger of the last New Moon in Virgo that prompted a new beginning. While our energy field got the message, the old habits of the personality and the physical body are slow to catch up and need some prompting and reminding of what we don’t want. So stay out of judgment, blame and martyrdom if you find yourself in one of these reminder situations, and know you have created it for yourself to fast track your personal growth and transformation.”

We are in the midst of the Eclipse portal and the invitation to really step into who you are, what you desire, is huge!

Okay, I have chuntered a ton (not a surprise), so let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide this week, the glorious Faery Forest Oracle were adamant, which made me smile a lot.

“May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.”

Re-read that last line about inspiring and urging us……

Okay, take a moment and come back to your body. Just breathe yourself back. Allow in your mind’s eye the smell of the Fall air to whisper around you, the sense of the new and possible. The pieces or desires you have put on the back burner. Breathe it in, welcome it in. Sit with it.

And then when you are ready, pick a card or cards.

Ready to pick?

Shall we go look?

SHE WHO LAUGHS

There is within your life now a great heaviness, an earnestness, and a sense of great gravity to nearly every situation unfolding. Yes, this is of great importance, and yes, there are consequences to consider. But it is time for you to receive the healing power of laughter, the power that lifts the darkness and releases energy that is stagnant, cold, and heavy from our energy field, indeed from our limbs and cells and hearts.

For you, this laughter is as necessary as surgery at this moment, as it will shake loose the cords strapping you tightly to burdens you no longer need to carry.

Let the light break through, and laugh – as without laughter, there can be no perspective, without laughter, there can be no movement forward, without laughter, there can be a sense of deep abiding resentment. Lift this!! Let She Who Laughs begin to help you seek out moments, people, and situations that stir the sense of the ridiculousness within you, and let the healing and the release of laughter roll through you and lift away the pain at the centre of your being.

Its time is passing. It will melt away with tears of laughter that fall and cleanse and free you from the past….For now, the sun breaks through, and your eyes shine once again with mirth and joy.

Welcome back to the world of delight, friend. It’s time.

THE ANCIENT

The Ancient is so old she is almost beyond time. She is able to speak the truth without compromise – as are you. She is so old, has experienced so much, learned and taught so many lessons, that she has become powerful and influential, just as you are becoming, too. So too are you growing older, coming into wisdom. She knows that while others are now going to come to you for advice and guidance, she sees your humanity – your faults and your flaws and your feelings of unworthiness. She wishes to reassure you.

Others will come to you, seeking knowledge, awaiting a blessing, an initiation, and oblivious to the consequences of the path they wish to walk. Wisdom, true wisdom, understands complexity, and you have developed this quality. The Ancient is honourable and human, and yet more than human, and she is courageous and has made sacrifices – as have you. She sees straight through comforting illusions – as do you.

She represents ancient tradition and the challenge of defining the self, yet remaining with a tradition that you value – and this too is one of your challenges. So take responsibility in your life. You will face the battle of choice, and you will be the antidote to gurus and dominant personalities who claim to have all the answers. The Ancient recognises the challenge of being a teacher. This immersion in a world to learn the ancient arts and venerate wisdom and old ways can be expressed in many forms, but everything you are now learning has value. She is the repository for ancient secrets and the contact between worlds. She is wise – and she has learned to consider every word that falls from her lips, even as she longs to call out for freedom.

ASTRILD

When we love, we can gaze directly into the soul of another human being for a while. This in-love sensation reminds us of who we can truly be when we connect with our own self-love. We feel complete, adored, and we open wide to the experience. Energy surges through us, we crave the touch of the beloved.

We are, for a time, quite mad. The love fire has been lit within you, and you are being asked to allow your own self-love to ignite in return. You are feeling sensual, ready to make love, to explore the boundaries of physical sensation, and you wish reality would simply leave you be for a time so you can fully explore this craving and desire.

About you is the sensation of fulfilment, of satisfaction, and for a time, you will live between the worlds while this powerful experience shakes you to the core. And all the while, this faery being gazes into your heart, willing you to remember that not only do you love, you are worth loving.

Astrild’s cool green gaze observes the fire within you, and will remind you again and again that to love yourself, and to love another with all of your heart, is a kind of baptism, a blessing, a ritual, and a trial by fire.

Passion is your whole world. Let the fire embrace you, purify you, and keep walking through the flames of love.

Wowzer, some delicious energy and guidance there! Enjoy the crispness, the smells, the beginning of the leaves changing and we will explore more of what Fall Equinox brings next week. Also, quite a few of you have contacted me about a reading. I will be opening the doors to those at Equinox.

Have a fabulous week and huge hugs and squeezes!

Solstice, Celebration and Super Full Moon in Capricorn!

Jenny Heston · 11:00 pm ·

Happy Magnetic, Magickal, Miraculous, Marvellous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you? Did you manage to take time to celebrate the Solstice? Here in North America Solstice arrived on Sunday (so if you are in Europe it will be today – Monday!)

I will say my Solstice was amazing! Getting up at 4am to head to the ocean to watch the sun slowly rise up over the horizon and then bask the ocean in liquid gold. Gathering (and pilfering) flowers to make a delicious flower mandala to offer as a blessing to the portal that was created!

Yes, I did say Portal, lol. (You can’t make this shit up!)

In the fairy garden there is a delicious wee portal woven out of ivy. So the other day I was sitting looking at it and thought “Wouldn’t it be cool to have a life sized portal?” (That’s where my mind goes sometimes). So last weekend driftwood galore was gathered in the early hours from the beaches, then a circle was drawn on the lawn and the building began and wow! Wow!

She is stupendous!!! all the pieces of driftwood wended together to create a 6ft Portal that then got set into the bank at the back of the garden where I have carved a trail through the brush up to an amazing little rocky park.

I wove ivy around her (keeping the roots in the ground) and then put tiny fairy lights onto her, and built an incredible rock stairway for her approach. The thing that is amazing is she looks like she grew there. I am chuffed to bits. I wanted her to be ready for Solstice, so a flower mandala was made on her threshold and then a cleansing and blessing spell was set with a very clear intention as to the energy she would hold. Last but not least 2 quartz points, a rose quartz and an amethyst were woven into her “horns”.

The perfect activity for Solstice followed by an outdoor Solstice gathering in the garden filled with great people, great food and ridonculous games (think water gun fights, light up frisbee and Yahtzee!)

The perfect way to mark such an intense Fire Celebration (and I will say I can certainly feel the Yang energy swirling).

Thank you to all the comments and feedback about the Book of Summer Solstice, I’m tickled to hear which rituals you are working with, how you liked the abundance spell and how so many of you have listened over and over to the guided visualisation. That makes my heart soar! And to answer your question – yes you can use this for the week following Solstice as well.

Oh yes, and with regards to the Summer Solstice Reading Special. Yes, I have 10 spots open and available from today until next Monday (June 28th)!

On the heels of the Solstice energy, Thursday we welcome the Super Full Moon in Capricorn.

As Forever shares: “There is a duality to the energies we feel on this June Full Moon. We may not know if we are coming or going or exactly what to feel, or how to progress. That is the nature of this Full Moon. It brings wildcard energy, stirring things until we are unable to see clearly ahead. It does not do this to annoy, but rather to get us to slow down and see things from a different vantage point.

When the dust finally settles and the room stops spinning, we can see where we have landed. We can also see what has been broken during our spin and what has stood the test of time.

Capricorn energy supports us in creating a life with a strong and solid foundation. Capricorn energy naturally nurtures things that are designed to stand the test of time, so we may find ourselves naturally drawn to focus on these aspects of our lives.”

Isn’t this great?

June has the energy of Shake Up, we have the Solstice energy of Lighting Our Inner Fire, and the Super Full Moon asks us to work with all of those and create a life with a strong and solid foundation! I so love how this all weaves together.

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. Isis Oracle were adamant and if you think about it – that’s no surprise.

Now if you don’t know these amazing guides, please let me introduce you. Have you ever asked who Isis is? Goddess of the Skies, Magick and Wisdom are just a few of the titles she is given. Let me take a moment to introduce you to this lovely deck – “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening. Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world. When a Soul is growing in power and strength, it can benefit from guidance to help make the path into a new way of being in the world that much easier. Isis offers Her wisdom and guidance to you to assist you at this time of spiritual growth and transition. She loves you, and wants you to shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.”

Yes!!!!!!! “Shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.”

Okay delicious lovely, let’s just settle for a moment shall we? Just breathe yourself back into your body, calling back any pieces that you have left lying around during the day or the week. Breathe long and deep and allow in your mind’s eye the energy of the sun to fill you, to pour liquid gold energy through you – soothing, nourishing and cleansing.

When you feel relaxed and ready, pick the card or cards that whisper to your wise self, your radiant self, your powerful self.

Did you remember to pick?

Come take a look.

DIVINE GUARDIAN

Protection of the Winged Mother

You are venturing through a time of significant spiritual growth and healing. There are many changes occurring internally and they will be reflected in your external world soon also. You are protected during these times by the love and strength of the Winged Mother, Lady Isis. You can relax and allow your transformation to happen. Let your Divine Guardian protect you now, as you learn to let go and trust in your own unfoldent for the greatest good.

Big spiritual growth can bring difficult challenges. Through such challenges, an Initiate can gain wisdom, power and awareness, and leave behind fears that once held them captive, free from past restrictions, free to live a life that is truly extraordinary and inspirational. Yet the challenges can feel deeply confronting. The Initiate may be tested to stay true to their own beliefs even if their loved ones do not understand or support them. Or they may be required to let go of what they have known to embrace something completely unfamiliar and this may be uncomfortable for them, and they may fear losing support, safety or friendship as they venture into a new life.

You have been receiving impressions and inner nudges that are from your higher guidance, which has been helping you with situations that are currently unfolding in your life and will continue to do so. You are, spiritually speaking, on the right track. Life does not have to be fixed or even clear at all times in order for you to be safe. Isis is with you. All is well.

DIVINE SISTERHOOD

Community of the Spiritual Sisters and Brothers of the Light

In community that is based in equality, respect, healthy boundaries and personal freedom, with a mutual desire for spiritual growth and honouring of innate wisdom, great miracles occur. You are part of this community of light. At one time it existed only in the spiritual worlds, yet now it is being born on the Earth. It is part of your destiny to help create and nurture a conscious community that empowers all of its members and is based in truth.

Letting the Divine Feminine nourish you now into new relationships, collaborations, community and friendships is very wise. There are many souls with whom you have spiritual contracts decided upon before you were born who wish to help you, and whom you can help too, as you grow together in peace and light and wisdom. Your light has value on its own of course but it is also of deep service when it is visible to others, lighting the way.

Mother Isis says that there is so much light awakening within our planet, and so much spiritual light gifted to Earth from celestial beings at this time, that it makes sense to build a large enough container to receive it. If you had enough electricity to power a city, you wouldn’t try to fit it in one house. Likewise, with all this spiritual electricity becoming available on the EArth, groups are needed to help it to circulate and flow.

If you accept all of this but still cannot find your spiritual home here, and have been wondering where your community is, you are not alone! They are looking for you too! Say ‘yes’ to opportunities to meet like-minded people and let Isis guide you through circumstances, opportunities and spontaneous moments as you and your beloved sisters and brothers find each other together for group benefit. If you have found that you have guidance to build community yourself, and are feeling a little overwhelmed at the thought, stay calm and stay in your heart.

SPIRIT OF ISIS

Triumph of the Goddess

Beloved Initiate, there are times to surrender and let go, but there are never times to give up! Persist with your bold faith and inspired action until the impossible happens. Isis has the spirit of triumph and will never fail in Her quest no matter how bold or impossible it seems. Believe.

It is helpful on the inner path to let go and detach over and over again and yet we need to stay true to our heart and not give up on what we feel we are here to do. Whether it is reaching for enlightenment, for inner peace, for a creative breakthrough or personal healing, the triumph of the Goddess is with you now urging you not to give up, no matter how far away or impossible success may seem to be. Don’t quit! Persist until the impossible happens!

You are being reminded that you can surrender, let go of attachment as to how everything will happen or what it will look like, even if it is frustrating to surrender the vision into the Divine Fires yet again, waiting until you feel it naturally coming together according to Divine Timing.

The Spirit of Isis is willing to wait until Divine Forces collide and the miracle occurs. Remember, beloved Initiate, that the forces of growth, love and divinity are in your corner. There is nothing more powerful than these. Allow them to have their way and you will have yours. Your win is assured.

Those are some deliciously powerful messages! How did the card you picked resonate for you? Have a stupendous week, delicious lovely. Allow the energy of the sun to ignite your inner fire, use the energy of the Super Full Moon to ground you and most of all have fun! (Life is so much better when we remember to play!) Don’t forget the Solstice reading special runs for a week and the Book of Summer Solstice is still available to you. Big hugs and squeezes and flowers galore!

Aging, Gardening and Memories

Jenny Heston · 12:37 am ·

Happy Miraculous, Magickal, Mesmerising, Manifesting, Majestic Monday! How are you delicious lovely?

Do you feel the energy of Spring surging around you? For the last week we have had warm, glorious, sunshine filled days and it’s fascinating to watch how all of a sudden people emerge out of their homes. Cars are getting washed, lawn furniture is being brought out and dusted off and gardening is happening! (When I moved here two years ago I was advised by a local that gardening here is very “competitive”!) And having walked by homes where people are meticulously digging up their dandelions and daisies (which I think is daft), I can believe it!

So this got me to thinking. One of my passions is gardening and growing things, playing in the dirt and creating sacred spaces that feed the body, mind and soul. But where did this passion come from? Where did I learn to garden? My mother.

Now this is rather interesting for me as my mother and I have an “interesting” relationship. She doesn’t like me much (which she has shared with me multiple times over the years) and continually points out that I am the “Black Sheep” (thank goodness) of the family and to be honest aging hasn’t helped with the process. If anything it has removed even more filters so her sharp tongue feels free to express.

Yet I am the one that she phones when she needs something. I am the one that put my life on hold for 5 months to help her after she had a brain injury. Why? Because she’s my mother and she also knows that I will always step up and help. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining. I’ve done a lot of work with the mother/daughter wound thing and can appreciate her for exactly who she is.

So a month or so ago, as I was starting a bunch of seeds in doors, it occurred to me that she might like to go on an “outing” to somewhere flat (as she is 93) and she loves plants and flowers and this way she could see the plants that are in full bloom and be reminded of Spring. The first outing wasn’t so fun, even though I had packed a thermos of tea and chocolate hobnobs! The second outing was much more fun as I took her to Beacon Hill and she could slowly walk amongst all the flowers and watch the peacocks parade by. However, what I noticed was when I would ask what a certain plant was she would get incredibly frustrated as she couldn’t remember. This was rather a shock for me as this was a woman who knew the name of every plant, both Latin and common and would often only tell you the Latin name so that you had to do the work of looking it up.

The third outing was this week and I took her to another lovely garden where she used to volunteer. I noticed her walking was much slower and she would gaze at a plant for quite a while and then look at me with a sense of helplessness and ask me if I knew what it was called as she couldn’t quite place it at the moment. This incredibly strong woman was gently fading in front of my eyes. After a wee while we found a lovely bench amidst a plethora of plants where she relaxed and could just breathe in the colours and the smells and not have to pretend anymore.

Before dropping her off we stopped at a local store as I wanted to grab a few plants that could go in pots for her (as she has a massive balcony and loves to have her planters filled). And also because plants are a talisman for her. On her balcony she has a large witch hazel that my sister gave her, the year before she died, that she treasures and talks about at every opportunity.

However, after I dropped her off there was a weird sense of melancholy, a sadness and also an honouring of the aging process. To see a woman who would spend all day in the garden planting and planning, as it was her sacred space and ritual for her, to now just gaze intently at a plant that she could see in her mind’s eye, remember planting at some point in time, but not remember what it was called and to be so frustrated with that; made me have a swirl of feelings.

Yet interestingly enough she phoned and said how much she enjoyed the outings and the time to just gaze, remember and to see the profusion of colour everywhere. Who was this woman? As my mother never used to acknowledge any help or support I would give her.

This all reminded me of the quote:-

Never underestimate the healing power of a quiet moment in a garden.

Have to say in my opinion Aging is not for the weak. As these outings have shown me that even when you have been strong all your life, to show your vulnerability takes much more strength.

Okay, enough chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to come support and guide this week I was intrigued to see The Isis Oracle were adamant.

Have you ever asked who Isis is? Goddess of the Skies, Magick and Wisdom are just a few of the titles she is given. Let me take a moment to introduce you to this lovely deck – “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening. Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world. When a Soul is growing in power and strength, it can benefit from guidance to help make the path into a new way of being in the world that much easier. Isis offers Her wisdom and guidance to you to assist you at this time of spiritual growth and transition. She loves you, and wants you to shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.” The perfect guides for this glorious time.

So let’s take a moment to just drop in. To breathe ourselves back into our bodies and come into the present moment. I invite you to see in your mind’s eye all the vulnerabilities that you don’t share. Just let them swirl there with no judgment, no labelling. Just breathe. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at those vulnerabilities.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

TALISMANS OF POTENCY

Charging Sacred Objects of Power

Sacred Tools and Objects can become an extension of your energy field, focusing your power and intention, helping you heal the split between spirit and matter, and learning to bring physical matter more deeply into light and life. You are encouraged to work with sacred materials in a conscious way to help your own healing and enjoyment of the material world as part of your spiritual practice. Your love for the physical world of matter is a gift to the earth too.

You are guided to cleanse and charge sacred objects to empower your energy field and accomplish your spiritual mission now. These objects might be a wand, a chalice or sword, a bowl or even a special rock that you love, a statue, cloth with a beautiful design, a crystal , shell or feather you found ‘waiting for you’ whilst out in nature one day. If finding a gift in nature, it is wise to ask the spirit of the Earth if the item in question is intended for your healing work and if you feel it is, then of course, receive it with gratitude. If not, bless it and move on.

Objects become talismans when they are cleansed, dedicated and charged with sacred intent. This is consecration, or the rendering of something into sacredness. Talismans are a way to enjoy a spiritual relationship with the material world. It is not a matter of not being able to work without them, but more of enjoyment and beauty of working with the material world in a spiritual way. This is also a way to heal any difficult relationship that you may have had with your mother, your body, eating and food, or with financial or physical security. It can also include difficulties in bringing your ideas into physical form, living your path in a practical and material way and any other issues that stem from a wounded relationship to matter, somehow seeing it as less than spirit. What wonderful and varied healing effects talismans can bring to us! It all starts with the honouring of light in matter, the sacredness of the material world.

If you have an object in your space that you have been thinking of cleansing, perhaps a crystal or a piece of jewellery, please do so using breath, salt, moonlight or sound, as you so choose.

Remember that objects in the material world hold vibrations too. Cleansing with love and intention to dissipate negative energy is a way to care for the material world, helping awaken the light within it and within you.

MAGICK AND RITUAL

Crafting Sacred Practice

Effect in the external world can be created through inner practice. Magick and Ritual can support your Divine Path now in the physical world and you are encouraged to enhance your power with regular practice. The results that you experience will encourage you to continue with the practice as you grow in power, grace, love, ability and wisdom, and apply your inner beauty to transform your outer world.

For us to grow empowered and potent on the Path of Ancient Feminine Power we need to honour our knowing and being and cultivate sacred practice. Sacred practice becomes the habit of growing our spiritual power and consciousness. Like a garden needing regular care and watering to blossom and flourish, our inner garden of the Soul, where our creativity, joy, spiritual gifts and bliss bubble away, also needs regular attention. Coming to our practice takes strength and inner will – even though it can feel amazing, we still have to wake up, set aside time and discipline ourselves to show up for our own inner growth. We will reap the benefits when we do, but we must allow ourselves to fall in love with our practice, to craft something that really speaks to us, so that we want to do it. The desire and the discipline together help us engage with our practice regularly and we can grow so fast it can be quite shocking!

You have great power and wisdom within you, but you need to provide channels for it to flow and be active and empowered in your physical life. Sacred Practice is such a channel. Without these channels, the ego is left to create on its own which is not much fun at all! The ego believes in fear and separation and no matter how much it may want to feel love, bliss, connection, joy and fulfilment, it really cannot do it without your spiritual presence in life. Ritual and Magick, as a form of sacred practice, are recommended for you as a way to bring more spiritual presence into your waking life, to heal and support the ego as you learn to create a life that feels better and brings you and others more fulfilment.

LIFE RESTORED

Priestess of the Phoenix

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

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

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

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

Wow, amazing messages to remind us to turn our face to the sun, celebrate life, embrace sacred practice and spend time with our talismans – whether they be plants, animals, rocks or whatever. Have a stupendous week gorgeous one. Take the time to put your hands in the dirt, even if it’s only a small pot in the kitchen. Plant a seed and celebrate your life and this moment. As this is the only one you have. Big hugs and squeezes.

It’s Spring – be the Flower! Energy Shift to Transition and a lovely Aries New Moon!

Jenny Heston · 5:39 pm ·

It’s Monday, it’s Monday – fa, la, la (Trust me, I’m singing out loud!) Remember we are re-framing Monday and making it magickal, mystical, marvelous, meditative and absolutely magnificent!

Welcome to April and it’s time to gracefully move with the energy of TRANSITION. I love April, as the leaves are busting out, flowers are blooming, lambs are being born, the energy is lifting upwards and there is a sense of tender growth. It’s also a delightful month for testing out my wardrobe planning as one minute it is warm sun, the next – torrential rain and then who the heck knows what will come…….

It ties into that old saying that dates back from the 1600’s – “April showers bring May flowers.” Which I am totally happy with, as I own rain gear!

So here we are in April and there is an Energy Shift to one of TRANSITION. Now what does this mean or look like for you? As Lena shares most eloquently :-

We really wanted to call this month a grumpy reset but transition is a better description as we are not yet at the reset even though the month may definitely show up as grumpy, irritating, and uncomfortable at times. Very few of us are comfortable with transition as it indicates leaving behind what is known to us, even if that known place is no longer what we want, and moving into an unknown landscape, even though that landscape holds all of our current intentions and desires.

Transitions tend to cause stress and stress tends to cause the worst of our personalities to come out. Personal obstacles will be triggered as well as tendencies to judgment, blame, irritation, restlessness, and all manner of negative reactions. It is wise to watch your words and keep them from being harsh towards others. It is also wise this month to stay present and to take responsibility for your own reactions to situations and triggers so you can keep from projecting and taking your discomfort out on others.

More than any other time, it is best to make kindness a daily practice and focus.

On the positive side, this is an incredibly dynamic month where great strides can be made in all areas of life including your own abundance, movement of work and projects, rebuilding or beginning new relationships, greatly improving your health, having more discipline for spiritual and physical practices, and becoming really clear about your values and what is important. As uncomfortable as you may often feel this month, treat the journey as a pilgrimage towards more power in your life and stay as neutral as possible around challenges and obstacles that may come your way.

Behind every challenge is an opportunity and the opportunities this month will be big and unexpected. You may miss them if you are too wound up and focused on being irritated and judgmental. For there to be movement, change, and opportunity, there has to be an unsettling of the old structures and attachments. This always creates a bit of chaos before a sense of clarity reorganizes the movement in the right direction. The right direction will be supported more by how you want to feel rather by what your mind thinks you ought to be doing. The more you hang on to the old, the more irritating your time will be.

This is also an important month for completions and tying up loose ends especially around relationships and any shame, regrets, disappointment or wounding from the past. It is truly a time to finally let go and not waste this opportunity for deep releasing and healing. What are you still attached to? What is still attached to you?

So sit with Transitions for a moment. When a baby comes into your life – that’s a massive transition. When your kids leave home and you have to face yourself and your partner – another transition. They are like delicious thresholds that need to be unpacked, savoured and restructured. Not blown through (which we normally do).

On top of this we have a New Moon in Aries. Now, if you remember Aries is the first of the Western Zodiac calendar and this New Moon represents the start of a new lunar cycle.

The Aries New Moon falls on April 11th or 12th depending on your timezone, and carries powerful energy for manifestation, intention settings, and new beginnings.

This energy combined sends powerful waves of freshness into our lives, beckoning us to make changes, plant seeds, and to embrace a new chapter.

As Forever shares:- At the peak of the New Moon, it is completely invisible, and the night sky looks like a blank slate full of stars. That blank slate is what each of us is being granted on this April New Moon. It is blank for we get to fill it with our desires. We get to choose what we wish to draw, paint, or write across our canvas.

Under this New Moon, our powers of manifestation are heightened and our ability to draw in and attract what we desire is enhanced threefold.

The choices, words, and emotions we put out into the world are always coloring our reality, but at the time of this New Moon their influence is accelerated.

Be mindful of your thoughts, words, and the choices you are making at this time. Be sure they are aligned with that which you wish to attract. Be sure that you are focusing on what you want, rather than what you don’t want.

Watch your language and how you are choosing to speak to yourself and others. Your words are powerful, so be sure you are speaking with loving-kindness.

So do you note with the energy shift of this month and the New Moon in Aries – being kind to yourself, watching your words and noting if you are falling into a story from the past that doesn’t fit anymore (kind of like a pair of jeans that so don’t hold and shape you).

Okay enough chuntering on.

When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to support and guide this week, the glorious Faery Forest Oracle were most adamant. I was tickled as yesterday I went exploring the woods, hung out with the trees and just noticed all the spring flowers that were pushing up, including the glorious Fawn Lilies (so delicate).

Now, if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it’s rude not to):-

“Let us enter the wild green world together, friend, the faery forests where the great trees speak with us, the moss soft underfoot, the light pure and gentle. The homes of the once Sacred groves of the Celts, the Saxons, and the Vikings…and to the people who were here long before we had names with which to call them to us – the faerie people. May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.” Lovely!

Note the last line!

Okay dear heart take a delicious breathe in and let yourself settle into the moment. Let your body relax and your breathing gently slow and then when you are ready invite the energy of Transitions into your mind’s eye. As it swirls, let it guide you to pick the card or cards that tug at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look.

THE ELF QUEEN

You have responsibilities that have accumulated to the point that you no longer feel free. You have dimmed your own bright light, and the world longs for you to shine once again. One by one, I ask you to take these burdens – anything that feels heavy, whose energy does not come from love but from fear, any demands and expectations that no longer meet your needs – and release them with love. There is no rejection in this gesture: it is simply time to re-establish your own personal boundaries. You may even be carrying burdens that rightly belong to other people – please, release these now!

Without this clearing, you may well feel you are carrying too much on your own shoulders, and are unable to see the path ahead of you. As you release, the beginnings of the sweet and tender freedoms that are your birthright will make themselves known to you. You are now free to love and care for others more effectively, as you will be acting out of love, not forcing yourself. If you clearly ask for support, other people will love and support you in all that you do.

THE MABON

The Mabon is the child of the darkest moment, born when bright hope beckons you into a positive future, born out of what has seemed to be the most hopeless space you have ever been within. Now is the time to think magickally. What you think, what you are, manifests about you at all times. Now, with this new magickal mindset, you begin to transform your life into one of delight and hopefulness and to uplift your companions with your vibrant, positive energy. When we allow ourselves to shine, we become who we were always meant to be – and by example we encourage others to become who they truly are.

You are a powerful role model for others. Keep up the wonderful work – you still have many experiences ahead of you on your journey, but this energy is now your companion and your divine inspiration.

Make a wish when you see the stars – you may even have a homeland among them. This portends bright optimism and being filled with the joy that everyone feels when you are celebrating magickal living.

It’s effortless and joyful to do this divine work. You are being blessed with a rebirth of positive light and energy after a time of lack. And, oh, how good the weight lifting off from your old self feels.

THE GREEN MAN

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

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

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

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

Go forward and thrive, dear one!

What delicious guides for this unfolding week! So delicious lovely, have a superb week, spend some time with this delicious New Moon and remember – BE KIND to yourself. See you next week!

Worm Moon, Orcas and Seals, and Hippitty Hoppitty Bunnies!!!

Happy Magickal, Magnificent, Musical, Mischievous, Manifesting, March Monday!

How are you deliciously lovely? So much to explore with the shift in energy for April and the lovely Full Moon that happened yesterday and Easter! However, first let me share about the huge pod of Orcas I saw this morning!

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

Wild right? And absolute blarney – happy early April Fools Day!!!

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

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

Yesterday was the glorious Worm Moon (isn’t that a great name?)

Do you know why it’s called Worm Moon? The worm moon gets its unique name because earthworms begin to resurface at this time of year. It is also considered the last full moon of winter, but in 2021, it marks the beginning of spring. Also known as Seed Moon and the Crow Moon, The Worm Moon is the time of growth, creativity, and inspiration. Falling after Ostara, the Worm Moon can also be a time for rebirth, or a time to picture that creative project you’ve been thinking about for months, or the new way you want to be in this world. On the Worm Moon, visualize your intentions and the outcome you’re searching for when it comes to that project and make plans for how to see it through.

So if you want to take some time to do a bit of releasing, and then visualising with inspiration and creativity, I highly suggest it (you still have time.)

This weekend is Easter and I love the fact that hot cross buns are out in all the stores. I will confess, I have a “thing” for them, no clue why, but I really do. I cut them in half, toast them and slather them with butter and then everything seems right with the world at that moment in time! And I will be honest, I can eat a ton of them!

So with no egg hunt in sight, jokes it is!

How do you make rabbit stew? Make it wait for 4 hours.

What kind of music does the Easter Bunny like? Hip Hop.

Why do we paint Easter eggs? Because it’s easier than trying to wallpaper them.

What do you get when you pour hot water down a rabbit hole? Hot cross bunnies!

Why did the Easter bunny cross the road? Because the chicken had its Easter eggs!

Hey, nowhere in this did I say they were good jokes lolol! So how are you going to celebrate this Easter? Time outside, visit with zoom time with family, a special dinner, a hike, relaxing and watching it all happen?

Okay, enough chuntering away about chocolate, eggs and hot cross buns, let’s get on with the reading.

When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to share with you this week, I was delighted to see that the Earth Warriors Oracle guides were most adamant. Now if these amazing guides are new to you, please let me introduce you to them (as it’s rude not to).

There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word “struggle” from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

Woosah, breath that in. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

Okay gorgeous bean, let’s take a moment to just settle and BE. Let your breath find it’s perfect path coming from the belly, not the chest and let your shoulders relax. As you settle in, invite into your mind’s eye the energy of creation, rebirth, play and imagination. Ask yourself what would best support you with those energies this week.

If you want to deepen it a bit there is a lovely wee guided visualisation for you.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that whisper in your ear, tug on your heart strings and trust your choice.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, yes?

Spirit of the Warrior

Though you yearn for peace, you recognise that, without truth, genuine peace can never be. Even if it triggers an upheaval of transformation, the need to set things right is strong in you. This is the inner drive of the spiritual warrior; the compelling soul needs to uphold truth, goodness and justice. You will fight for these things because that is your way, Spirit Warrior. Trust, see and feel the positive impact that you are making in the world. You are relentless and the Divine is with you.

Do not give up, If you feel hopelessness, despair, defeat or frustration, and you wonder if it is really worth it, place your mind in your heart and your heart in awareness of what it is that is inspiring you. Do you feel alone on your quest? Look for the legions of wings in spirit and upon the earth that fight alongside you, fearless and ferocious with love. Be uplifted by your fellow Spirit Warriors, beloved one. Feel the joy of their love and unity with you. You have access to the divine power that conquers any obstacle, wins every battle, and secures every victory.

If a Spirit Warrior tries to fight from a place of despair and darkness, doubt and hate, the battle will become destructive to their soul. When you fight for love from a place of joy, Spirit Warrior, the battle opens your beautiful fierce heart. It uplifts your mind and empowers your soul with the might of divine grace that accomplishes all pursuits and wins every war.

Out of Darkness, the Light is Born

The light is powerful enough to survive exposure to the darker side of humanity and remain pure, empowered and effective. Trust in your spiritual purpose as light in this world. Trust particularly in your ability to bring purity, order; grace and light to disorder, chaos and destruction. The Divine is ever by your side and ever within your heart, assisting you with this higher purpose in all ways.

All issues can be healed through the unlimited recourse and creative resourcefulness of the Divine. You are destined to be part of the creative solution for any issue that you have in your life or that exists in the world and touches your heart. The issue only exists so that divine genius can resolve it! Struggles are sometimes the best way for us to learn something we need to understand for our life journey. Trust that when you ask for help, even apparently impossible situations can be turned around. With willing human engagement and divine grace, there is more than enough light, healing, creative innovation, wisdom and energy available to keep Mother Earth and all her creatures, including humanity, thriving. Never give up your hope and trust in what is possible – nor your willingness to act upon that hope and trust.

Part of your spiritual path requires that you walk your talk and live in a way that shows optimism and practicality. When something’s not working, we don’t need to hide from it in shame. We face it because we have spiritual self-esteem and self-confidence. Trust in divine timing, realising that there is far-reaching good about yourself and your presence in the world. It’s not about being perfect, it’s just about taking that next step for you.

Stand in the Light

You are unique. You are a divine and beautiful being. You stand apart from the crowd. Sometimes this evokes jealousy or desire in others who want to possess your light and beauty as their own. You need never fear another or believe that they can harm you. Allow yourself to be true to who you are. Do not try to hide your inner light and beauty. You are meant to be seen. Your soul is nurtured and protected by your love for the Great Spirit.

Don’t avoid the spotlight or try to hide yourself nor dull your light to appease another or your own fears. Your true inner divine light and beauty is meant to help others, and the only way that can occur is if you allow yourself to fully be and express it. Do not shrink away from your magnificence when you feel challenged. Instead step it up to an entirely new level of boldness! You have a gentle nature, but you are strong. If you have become obsessed with the beauty or power of another, it’s time to come back to your own divine beauty, to unearth it, explore it, express it and let it shine. Trying to blend in wild rain the energy from you. LEt those who are attracted to your light adapt to your level of divine expression. You are the benchmark, and they will evolve to reach you.

What nurtures and nourishes you, what feels good for your heart, body and soul, is also what protects you. You actually don’t need to do anything else for effective protection than place yourself in the divine beauty of what you love absolutely and completely.

Yes, yes, yes! Glorious guides for this week. So my delicious lovely, I wish for you daft pranks, laughter, connection and ease. Have a wonderful April Fools Day and paint an egg for Easter (yes sharpies are included for painting). Big hugs and squeezes, see you in a few weeks as I’m playing in the woods on Easter weekend.
