Weekly Reading January 16th

Jenny Heston · 3:56 pm ·

Happy glorious Monday delicious one! Gosh we are halfway through January already and I have found it to be a wonderful, productive, creative time.  How about you?  How did the Full Moon go for you last week?  I heard from quite a few people that they found the Full Moon (Wolf Moon) rather an emotional, chaotic energy time, and when this happens it’s even more important to remember the tools to help keep yourself grounded and your energy clear and moving forward.  Personally, this is when I make sure I am wearing the crystals that work for me and I take little chunks of time out for some self care or just pure belly wobbling fun! Like sledding in the dark with just a headlamp (which becomes quite chaotic as my 3 large dogs keep trying to hop on my sled, or rescue me).

So this week the delicious Wild Kuan Yin Oracle deck made it very clear that they were meant to be the ones that came to play, so those are what we are working with this week. If you are new to working with the Oracle cards you might want to listen to this week’s visualisation to help you get centred and clear.  Then trust yourself and pick a card.

So let’s go on a little magical adventure shall we?

Breathe in, breathe out and let’s go pick.

GRANDMOTHER DRAGONFLY HOLDS THE WISDOM

Sometimes there is benefit in focusing on the new, seeking out untried paths, developing untapped resources and exploring possibilities.  The intoxication of hope, inspiration and optimism combined can be hard to resist.  However, if fear, boredom or lack of commitment is beneath the quest for new adventures, if we are believing that what we need or want is always just beyond, we may be dissuaded from applying ourselves to the worth tasks before us right now.  If we are an imaginative and visionary type of personality, we may rebel against the mundane tasks of applying ourselves daily to bring an idea to life.  However, if we were to stop and look clearly at what we already have in our lives, we could realise that there is much of value waiting to be put to use.

Do not step away from what you are cultivating, even if it seems to have lost its steam, run out of energy or be utterly dead in the water!  There is something within what you have been working on that is going to yield something of great benefit.  There will be much more success, prosperity, happiness and maturing of your ultimate life goals and journey in tending to what is already further along in development than in something new.  Grandmother Dragonfly offers you vision that is wide and unlimited by preconceptions.  You may need to look differently at what you have nurtured and how to tap into what it has become to be able to share it with others and allow its sustaining grace to nourish human life in its own way. You will help people in many and varied ways.  It is all a part of your  natural development and you can trust in it.  There is no need for you to ever be impatient or doubting of this.

BE LED BY THE PATH BEFORE YOU

You may question whether you are walking your true life path, in alignment with your divine destiny.  Perhaps you have a choice to make and are uncertain s to which decision will be the right one for you.  Perhaps you are wishing there were more choices available to you, that there only seems to be one path before you now and yet you are not convinced that it is the right path for you.  Fear not.  There is no mistake here.  Trust in your unfolding life journey, for the path before you is one that I have blessed.  Even if you sometimes lack confidence to trust in the path that you are upon, know this – you cannot miss your true path, or your divine destiny.  

You are on your path.  You are right in your sense that there is a greater purpose calling you forwards.  Do not fall into the trap of imagining there is some other way to get there however.  You have not made some error simply because your life doesn’t necessarily look or feel the way you imagined it would at this point.  This too shall change in due course as your path curves ahead.  Your life situation each day is like a breadcrumb dropped by the Divine, guiding you towards your destiny.  You get to choose how you respond to that breadcrumb – happily gobble it up and continue on your way, or ignore it and try to venture off elsewhere out of anxiety or doubt.

Don’t make things more complicated than they need to be.  Don’t rush in out of fear or panic to try and sort out an issue.  Be patient and allow it to unfold.  The universe knows what you are in need of, and the Divine Mother is with you always, giving birth, through you, to the fullness of your destiny.  Take pause when needs be and rest.  Then take the next step.  Trust.

HARVEST MOTHER WATCHES OVER ME

There are times on the path when we feel the urge to go within, to withdraw from the world for a time, to claim some space.  We may not know why, but if we avoid that impulse, we miss the great benefit that such a process can bring.  In this world, we are typically taught that ‘things happen’ through effort directed towards external action.  Of course, there is a time and place for this.  However, there is also a time when the action needs to be internally oriented, and far more about receiving and restoring rather than doing, about contemplating and integrating rather than strategising and initiating.  

There has been so much happening in your outer world and even in your inner world, so much awakening, so much experience, that it needs to be processed, sorted through and released into some sort of useful content.  It is safe and timely now for you to declutter your world, especially your internal world – although clearing out something of your physical world may be a way to enhance the process.  It is not time to keep taking in more information, or to push yourself to have more experiences, meet new people or take new risks.  That will all happen again soon enough.  There is something very nourishing, healthy and life-affirming within you, waiting to be tapped into, but you need to make a choice to do that.  This is also a time of great abundance, of hidden gifts becoming apparent and being received if you are willing to create some space.  There is a rich, growth-fuelling divine substance within your reach, and to receive that nectar of life you need to change pace.

Do not worry that you are turning your back on life.  You are not.  You are affirming the life within that is ready for your loving care and attention.  There is something within that needs to be drawn forth, something that needs to be pulled out of the unconscious and brought to full awareness – a feeling, an intuition or instinct, a piece of guidance or understanding.  It will be an important discovery – no matter how ordinary or minor it may seem at the time.  

Wishing you a glorious week filled with magic, miracles and wonder.  Remember to drink water and take moments to just BE. If you need more information on crystals and how they can support you, don’t hesitate to contact me.

A lantern. A woodland path. A little tug of curios A lantern. A woodland path. A little tug of curiosity. 🍂🕯️

Gorgeous Soul, will you come into the dark with us?

For eight Saturday mornings, we’ll gather for seasonal wisdom, ritual, dreams, tarot and honest conversation. We’ll meet the wild stories of the season and make space to hear our own.

There’s room for your tenderness, your questions and your deliciously imperfect self.

THE LIVING FOREST: INTO THE DARK
October 31–December 19
Saturdays · 9–11 a.m. Victoria time
Online via Zoom

Bring a cuppa. We begin at the threshold.

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! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Grateful? Yes. Available for absolutely everything Grateful? Yes.

The October 10 Libra New Moon meets Canadian Thanksgiving with an invitation to gather, release and unfurl.

Your needs belong in the balance too, Gorgeous Soul.

A fallen leaf, a bowl of water and one honest intention… your New Moon ritual is waiting. 🍂🌑

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. 🍎🌿🍄✨
