Ostara Magick Manual

Ostara (Equinox) and when you hit a Plateau!

Jenny Heston · 11:11 pm ·

Happy Merry, Magickal, Majestic, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting March Monday!  (How was that for alliteration!)

How are you delicious lovely?  I have heard from many of you over the last week that you have felt “off”, energy has been out of whack, headaches, tears and all sorts of dis-comfort.  I totally get it!  This last week has been a doozy energetically for all sorts of dramas, bullshit and dross (most of it not my doing but yet seemed to suck me in and twirl me in circles).  

However, when I was talking with one of my spiritual mentors about it and complaining how it felt like a really unpleasant plateau and my resistance to it all, he laughed!  (Yes, the man actually laughed at me!) 

He then went on to point out that plateaus are a good thing.  They are the resting place, the gestation place, almost like a threshold between two ways of being and instead of getting super bent out of shape and squirting sideways take the time to lean back into that space and allow oneself to use it for a time of nourishment, as after the Equinox it’s all about the growth baby!  Which I have to say makes total sense to me as I can feel something burbling and ready to launch forth.   

So this Saturday March 20th is Equinox (Ostara) and seriously, who doesn’t want to celebrate Spring?  As a kid Spring time was filled with woodland flowers and baby lambs popping out everywhere and bouncing like mad fiends over the grass.  Thus, I think that really nailed down the fact that I love Spring Equinox!   Everything is starting to reach, expand and grow!  Many of you have given feedback on the Ostara Magick Manual saying how much you are enjoying it, I’m so glad!  They will be available until March 22nd.  

After a wet, gray winter, the idea, the knowing and the full Trust that Spring is going to come is amazing.  To me it is about NEW.  New plants, new ideas, new ways of moving in the world and releasing the blaugh.  Spring Equinox (also known as Ostara), after the goddess Eostre is a fertility holiday, which celebrates the resurgence of life with such symbols as rabbits, cute little chicks and lambs (seeing any similarity to Easter symbols?) 

This is a time when the goddess is the Maiden in all her youthful glory, the god is reaching manhood, and energy abounds.  So why not tap into that energy to bring the light into your own darkness, if  you have any?  For example spring cleaning is not just about your home, it’s about removing old or negative energies accumulated over the dark winter months to prepare you for glorious growth.  It’s about planting seeds of intention, seeds of growth, seeds of food – it’s about shedding that heavy winter coat and picking up something a tad lighter and a bit more fun.  Whoot!!!!

So grab the Ostara Magickal Manual (fondly referred to as OMM) to give you some great ideas, or join Creatrix Circle as OMM is part of your membership and we have our first Ostara gathering this week (very excited), and yes the doors are open until March 22nd where they will close until the Summer Solstice.

Quite a few have asked when the Ostara Reading Special is, it starts today and goes until March 22nd and there are 20 spots open.  Thus, there are a few of the readings on special and a new Archetype reading as well.  Check it out and see what resonates for you as we step into the energy of Air, expansion and Growth.

Okay, enough chuntering.  When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to show and shine I was thrilled to see that the Crystal Mandala Oracle guides were most adamant, and they had an idea of how many of them wanted to join in, so it isn’t the usual 3 cards.  Now if these guides are new to you please let me introduce them.  “The Earth loves you without condition.  She nurtures all life into existence, and that includes you, beloved, from the life that dwells within your body to the life path that will best fulfil your soul destiny.  

She provides us with crystals, each one with their own Crystal Angel, to assist us on the journey of becoming all we can be through unconditional love.  So with the Crystal Angels of the Earth, and the angels, ascended masters and goddesses that want to assist you in living into the fullness of your divine destiny, to shine your heart light in the world and live your truths with freedom and grace.  Welcome dear one.”

Isn’t that just the best welcome?  Breathe it in. The crystal that wanted to join in is a gorgeous piece of Labradorite.  

Let’s take a moment shall we?  Just allow your breath to find it’s own path and rhythm, allow it to become long and deep, filling all the corners of your belly.  Then when you are ready, ask your wise self what message do you need to hear as you walk into the Equinox.  Then take another deep breath and pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a little look see shall we?

ASCENDED MASTER YOGANANDA & RHODONITE

Empowered Service

We bring you the blessing of empowered service.  It is your time to assume your place in the world, at the table of the masters, who serve the loving hand of the Divine.  You have been asking for your purpose to be more clearly unveiled and manifested in the world.  You have endured lessons of patience.  You have learned that spiritual progress can be made even without results being immediately obvious.  You have learned trust and a willingness to surrender your personal desires into a larger plan.  We know that of which you are capable, and we now invite you to step into the next level of empowered service available to your soul in service to the greater plan of divine love unfolding.

There are moments on the spiritual path that are something like a divine graduation.  You may not realise you have been making much progress in the lead-up to those moments; in fact, it is often the times when your mind tells you nothing much is happening that, at another level

You are making great strides.  

Some of the most difficult and spiritually empowering lessons you will master on the Earth plane are those of endurance and continued effort in the absence of immediately perceivable results.  It may not seem very glamorous or radiant, but being able to labour for the light when you are in darkness is one of the most advanced lessons your soul can master.

What this looks like for each individual will vary; however, you can expect that your work will increase in quality and quantity, that your method of reaching people will either become very clear to you or evolve into a new expression which will better match your increased power.  

Trust in your abilities.  You do not have to compare or compete with any other.  Be open to the changes you feel are happening now – or soon will be – including the opening up of new opportunities, changes that need to happen within your work or your life to better honour who you are and what you are attempting to do through your life purpose.  

ARCHANGEL ANAEL & PINK CALCITE

Acceptance

We bring you the gift of acceptance.  Rather than encouraging a situation to remain the same the gift of acceptance empowers you to move through an experience, uncovering the opportunity for personal growth and spiritual development that may be at first hidden behind a challenging set of circumstances.  Resistance prevents you from being able to see the truth and grow through the opportunities that life brings to you.  Acceptance is necessary for you to be present rather than in resistance.  When you are present, you can see what is happening more realistically and you become able to respond to it with awareness.  Then you shall grow – and obtain more power and wisdom through that process – whilst you also become capable of receiving the divine assistance that will come to help you through any difficulty.  

Even if a situation seems challenging, your acceptance is the key to transforming it.  It brings relief to your heart  It empowers you to take the step forward on your spiritual path that life is presenting to you.  Through that step, new opportunities will arise.  When you trust that no matter what appears to be, it is safe to trust that life is supporting you to manifest your divine potential; acceptance becomes easier and feels more natural and joyful.  

It can seem like self-preservation to resist a situation that appears to be unpleasant or undesirable.  The Universe only ever closes a door to you if it would not lead you to where you most need to go.  Acceptance doesnèt mean you give up the fight.  It means you learn to fight, from the heart, to grow with trust in life’s guiding hand, rather than pushing against it or biting the proverbial divine hand that feeds your soul.

If you relax and accept where you are at, with all that you have accomplished thus far, and even the challenge still ahead, you will move through it with less reactiveness and more conscious awareness and constructive choice.  You deserve this.  Relax and allow yourself to receive it according to divine grace and compassion.

ASCENDED MASTER BABAJI & DIAMOND

So It Shall Be

We bring you the blessing of so it shall be.  There are times when you will go through your life journey without any sign of what is going to happen.  You may be working hard to heal an issue or build your dream, and not really know if you are ever going to be successful.  You may hope for the best, but not know whether you should really expect the worst.  You may sense that the Universe is asking you to trust in how things are going to turn out, and yet giving up your uncertainty is difficult.  That usually means total and uncompromising commitment is difficult too.  Where there is uncertainty there is often hesitation and procrastination.  

Spirit doesn’t want you to miss out on your dreams because you lack faith and therefore, are holding yourself back from “going for it” with all you have within.  So you are being given the blessing of divine decree, of absolute confirmation of success and the divine granting of a wish fulfilled.  Switch your thinking from possibility to inevitability.  It is not a question of if, but of when.  Know that you are going to succeed and commit yourself completely.  Don’t hold back.  Go for it – with gusto! According to divine will, you shall manifest the highest expression of your divine destiny this lifetime.  So it shall be.

Life is a wild game of chance and uncertainty; yet somehow, it also proceeds according to a higher plan.  Some people find the idea of free will and destiny to be mutually exclusive, yet they are both aspects of the divine expression of life.  Destiny is the plan and free will creates the type of journey you have as you evolve into all you can be.  Spirit knows what you are capable of this lifetime and it wants to help you in a very particular way to overcome doubt and hesitation.  It wants you to be bold and to give yourself permission to stand so completely in your truth that even if the ground underneath you seems to shake, your inner strength and belief will not waver!

There is nothing too difficult or big for the Universe to resolve if you ask for help and then allow it to happen.  Ask for signs you can follow and take the steps you can take with clear intention and an open heart.  

ANGEL BALTHIEL & ROSE QUARTZ

Heart Healing

We bring you the gift of heart healing.  Over many lifetimes, your beautiful heart has loved and lost and loved again.  You have learned how to feel joy, pain, suffering and bliss.  Your wise heart knows that life is filled with darkness and light, and it chooses to love the Divine and participate in life anyway.  You might worry that your heart has been stretched beyond its limit, become closed or broken; yet your heart is filled with divine grace, power and, of course, love.  It can and will heal itself to love again, bigger, bolder and braver than ever before.  Do not doubt the healing power of your heart.  

There is power in your heart to heal through struggle into joy, and your heart has the gift of helping to heal others with love.  Your open, kind heart helps soothe others, bringing comfort and reassurance to the world.  Trust your heart and let it heal and guide you into the most beautiful and loving divine destiny waiting for you.

The heart is an incredible phenomenon.  It works on a physical level tirelessly to keep your body alive.  It works spiritually to integrate the messages of the universal heart of the Divine into your field, helping you receive guidance for your life journey.  The heart is your wise guide, friend and inspiration for growth.  Recognising your heart is capable of being broken and growing back stronger and more loving as it heals, is an incredible accomplishment, and a reminder of just how amazing you are, and how truly powerful love can be.  

When you place your hand on your heart and speak simly to the Universe, asking for healing on whatever issue is troubling you, you are using the power of your heart to trigger an outpouring of love from the universal heart.  Ask for what you need, for what you want, according to your divine birthright.  Know that your heart is your ally, your best friend and your guiding light, with you for your entire life, shining the truth of unconditional divine love from within, whenever you need reminding you are special, you are worthy and you are absolutely loved.  

Wowzer!  What delicious guides for this week.  Empowered Service, Acceptance, Trust and Heart Healing!  Love it!  So most gorgeous bean, I wish for you an amazing week filled with gentle breezes, clear Intentions, Spring flowers and laughter.  Remember that the Equinox reading special is for this week only, the Ostara Magickal Manuals are available until the 22nd and the doors to Creatrix Circle (which you will love) close on the same day.  Big hugs and squeezes.

A wee message to patriarchy, with love from Scotla A wee message to patriarchy, with love from Scotland. 🖕😂

We’re done with power over people, power over women, power over the planet. We’re here for matriarchal ways rooted in care, respect, shared power and community. And we’re a wee bit tired of being told how to behave, how to look and how to be women in this world!! So here’s our sisterly response… with love, laughter and a little Scottish sass! 😉

A wee note: We’re a group of Canadian sisters and one beautiful U.S. sister exploring Scotland together. Some of us have Scottish roots, and all of us brought a little wyld spirit! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The trees are loosening their grip, Gorgeous Soul. The trees are loosening their grip, Gorgeous Soul. What are you ready to release? 🍂

Sitting in a glorious pile of leaves, I pulled October’s card: Unfurl the Wings of Forgiveness.

Accountability and compassion. The courage to own your part, the tenderness to forgive yourself, and boundaries that honour both.

There’s autumn magick in this invitation—and a little delicious mischief, too.

It’s easy to think of yourself as a good man. The It’s easy to think of yourself as a good man. The harder question is: who are you when it’s just you and the boys?

When the joke crosses the line.
When the group chat turns ugly.
When a woman is being degraded.
When you know something is wrong.

Do you speak up, even if it costs you your place in the group?

Because women cannot be in every room asking men to respect us.

Men have to demand it from each other.

So I’m asking men: when was the last time you called out another man?

Don’t just teach your sons not to hurt women. Teach them not to stand silently beside men who do.
Summer is letting go. 🍂 Can you feel it? The lig Summer is letting go. 🍂

Can you feel it?

The light has changed. The evenings are arriving earlier. Leaves are turning, birds are gathering and Nature is beginning that slow, delicious turn inward.

Then on September 26th comes the Harvest Full Moon. 🌕

And maybe she’s not asking:

What’s next?

Maybe she’s asking:

What is already ripe?

What has quietly grown in you this season?

What are you ready to gather?

And what might you finally be ready to let fall?

I’ve written a new Harvest Moon piece through my Seasonal Lens, with journal prompts and one of my favourite slightly ridiculous rituals.

It involves bubbles.

Of course it bloody does. 😂🫧

For one delicious moment, we stand at the threshold between seasons.

Before rushing into autumn, what if you stopped long enough to look back?

At the summer you actually lived.
At what surprised you.
What challenged you.
What delighted you.
What quietly grew while you were busy doing other things.

You don’t need a perfect harvest.

You only need to recognise what is already in your hands.

That’s the question sitting at the heart of Mabon: The Gathering.

Not what did you accomplish?

Not did summer go according to plan?

But what grew?

A boundary?
A truth?
Some courage?
A delicious bit of weirdness?
Maybe something you didn’t even realise was a harvest until now.

I created a 24-page Mabon journey filled with reflection, journalling, ritual, harvest magick and a five-card Tarot/Oracle spread.

Because before we charge into the next season…

perhaps we should notice who arrived here. 🍎

Today is exactly one week before my birthday, I to Today is exactly one week before my birthday, I took a leap and received a “channelled” tattoo.

Was I sceptical? Abso-frigging-lutely. I wouldn’t even see the design until two hours before my appointment.

Then the image arrived—and I fell completely in love.

An apple, lavender, chamomile, rosemary, hare’s-foot fern and glorious Amanita mushrooms, all woven together beneath the stars and the sweep of the Milky Way.

Every piece holds meaning. Together, they form a tiny wild universe—a botanical talisman of nature, healing, memory, resilience, cosmic wonder and a wee bit of Fae mischief.

And now it rests above my heart, exactly where it belongs.

@inkspired_.tattoo.studio , you are an extraordinary human. This was so much more than a tattoo—it was a soulful, intentional experience and the perfect birthday gift.

A little wild.
A little witchy.
A little cosmic.
A little Fae.
And entirely me. 🍎🌿🍄✨
