Release

A Little Space for Something New.

A Libra New Moon ritual

Gorgeous Soul, gather a small bowl of water, a fallen leaf, a piece of paper and a pen. Settle somewhere you can have a few quiet minutes to yourself.

Feel the support beneath you and let your breath find its own comfortable rhythm. Ask yourself gently, “What have I been carrying that I’m ready to loosen my grip on?”

Perhaps it’s the need to keep everyone happy, an old expectation, or the habit of judging yourself for something you cannot change.

Hold your leaf and name what you are ready to release. You don’t have to force forgiveness or feel suddenly peaceful. Simply acknowledge what is there, then place the leaf beside the bowl and say:

“I honour what this has taught me. I give myself permission to carry it differently.”

Touch the water with your fingertips. Let this be a small moment of tenderness towards yourself—a reminder that accountability and compassion can sit together.

On your paper, finish this sentence:

“I am making room for…”

Then write one small action you can take this week to support that intention. Perhaps a pause before saying yes, a clear conversation, or asking for the help you need.

Read your words aloud, then close with:

“My needs belong in the balance. I can be loving and honest. I can begin with one small step.”

Keep your intention somewhere you’ll see it. Return the leaf to the earth and pour the water onto the soil.

Then go make yourself a delicious cuppa. You’ve planted something worth tending.

The Untying

A Ritual for Releasing What No Longer Needs Your Grip

There comes a moment when we realise we have been holding on for so long that our hands have forgotten what it feels like to rest.

Perhaps you’ve been gripping a relationship long after it changed. A schedule that leaves no room to breathe. Expectations that were never truly yours. Or perhaps you’ve been holding tightly to an older version of yourself simply because she’s familiar.

We clutch because we love. Because we hope. Because we fear what happens if we let go.

But what if letting go isn’t an ending?

What if it’s simply making space for something truer?

This is a ritual of gentle release. There is nothing dramatic here. No grand declarations. No need to force forgiveness or have all the answers.

Just one knot at a time.

You Will Need

A length of natural thread, cord or ribbon
A candle (white for clarity, or any colour that calls to you)
Matches or a lighter
A quiet place where you won’t be disturbed
A small bowl of water (optional, to represent flow and renewal)

The Ritual

Light your candle and take a few slow, easy breaths.

Feel your feet upon the earth. Notice the weight of your body being held.

Take your length of thread or cord and begin tying knots into it.

One knot for each thing you know you’re gripping just a little too tightly.

A person.

A worry.

A plan.

A disappointment.

A version of yourself you’ve been carrying out of habit rather than desire.

There is no right number. Trust your hands.

When you’ve finished, sit quietly with the cord resting in your palms.

Then begin.

Untie one knot.

Slowly.

Without rushing.

You don’t have to name what each knot represents—not even to yourself. You don’t have to explain it. You don’t have to understand what comes next or what will fill the space it leaves behind.

Simply allow your fingers to loosen what your heart has carried.

One knot.

One breath.

One release.

Notice how different the cord feels as each knot disappears.

Notice how different you feel.

When every knot has been untied, hold the now-smooth thread in your hands for a moment.

Whisper softly:

“I release what no longer belongs in my hands. I trust what is finding its way to my heart.”

Sit with the candle for another minute or two.

Allow yourself to simply be.

When you are ready, extinguish the flame with gratitude, knowing that letting go isn’t about losing.

It is about creating room.

Room for peace. Room for possibility.

Room for the woman you are becoming.

Sometimes the hand already knows how to let go.

It has simply been waiting for your permission.

FIFA, Football, Fans & the Full Moon… When the Final Whistle Signals Change.

Jenny Heston · 2:12 pm ·

Isn’t it fascinating how football can take over the whole world?

People who have never met suddenly become united by a colour, a chant, a flag, a team, a hope. Living rooms become stadiums. Snacks become sacred offerings.

Complete strangers hug in celebration, while others dramatically question every referee’s decision as though they themselves have been officiating the beautiful game for decades.

And honestly?

I love it.

Because underneath all the noise, the cheering, the collective holding of breath and the occasional theatrical dive (I’ll let you decide whether I’m talking about football or life), there is something beautifully human happening.

Everyone is waiting for that one moment when everything changes.

One pass.

One decision.

One goal.

One unexpected twist. In the blink of an eye, the entire game shifts.

Life isn’t all that different.

We make plans, settle into our routines and convince ourselves we know where we’re heading. Then, just like that, the whistle blows, the energy changes, and we’re invited to see the field from a completely different perspective.

Which feels wonderfully fitting as we come to the final reading of June.

Can you believe we’re already here?

June has been full of light, Summer Solstice fire, moments of celebration, unexpected lessons and, for many of us, quiet invitations to grow in ways we weren’t expecting. Now the Full Moon rises to cast her silver light across everything we’ve experienced, asking us to pause before we charge headlong into July.

Because that’s what Full Moons do so beautifully.

They illuminate.

They reveal.

They celebrate what has come to fruition while gently asking, “Is there anything you’re still carrying that no longer belongs in your story?“

Sometimes the answer arrives like a bolt of lightning.

Sometimes it arrives as a whisper.

And sometimes it simply settles into your heart with the quiet knowing that something has run its course.

That’s how this reading feels to me.

Not simply because it’s the last reading of June, but because it also marks the end of this chapter of our weekly readings.

If you’ve been journeying with me for a while, you’ll know how much I’ve loved these moments we’ve shared together. Sitting with the cards each week, listening to Spirit, laughing at how astonishingly accurate they can be, and watching so many of you find exactly the message you needed.

But life, much like football, isn’t meant to be played with the same formation forever.

Sometimes the coach changes the strategy.

Sometimes the players move into new positions.

And sometimes the biggest win comes because someone had the courage to trust that change was needed.

That’s where I find myself.

The work is calling me deeper.

There are new ideas quietly waiting in the wings, new ways of serving, teaching and creating that need space to breathe. Rather than continuing simply because it’s familiar, I’m choosing to honour what Spirit has been gently whispering for quite some time now.

It’s time.

Not an ending. An evolution.

So this week’s reading feels like a beautiful threshold.

It carries the excitement of football fans who know that one brilliant moment can change everything, and the ancient wisdom of the Full Moon, reminding us that every ending creates space for something new to be born.

Perhaps that’s your invitation too.

Where in your life are you still playing yesterday’s game?

Where have you outgrown the strategy that once served you so well?

And what might become possible if you trusted yourself enough to step into a new season?

So pour yourself a cuppa, settle into your favourite chair, and join me for this final reading of June.

Let’s honour everything this month has gifted us.

Let’s listen to what the Full Moon wants us to release.

And together, let’s stand on the threshold of July with open hearts, curious souls and the quiet excitement that perhaps the best chapters are still waiting to be written.

After all, Gorgeous Soul…

Sometimes the final whistle isn’t the end of the story. It’s simply the beginning of the next match.

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

Take a moment and pause, ask your wise inner self what is it you need to hear as we close out June. Take a breath and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

HEALING

Healing can take many forms, even just through listening – when we feel we’re being heard it can make us feel better, so people who have the ability to listen with love and without judgement are already healers.

Sometimes just being in the presence of someone who is receptive to our thoughts and feelings can help us to feel uplifted and healed.

Do you feel you are able and willing to give this healing?

Hands-on healing is a technique many feel drawn to, and perhaps this is something you, too, wish to explore. Are you in need of healing yourself? Is there something that you are pushing through “because it’s expected?”

It’s important to listen to your body, mind and soul and take time out so it can heal naturally. Make sure you’re getting all of the correct vitamins and nutrients. And remember sleep can also be an amazing healer.

Explore healing therapies that may be new to you, such as aromatherapy, flower essences, hands on healing, art therapy, colour therapy – whatever piques your interest.

Believe and trust that you have the capacity to heal yourself and others. Explore and embrace that piece of yourself and allow it to flow.

HOPE

Hope is the key to the door that can lead you away from any predicament you are in.

No matter how hopeless things may seem, if you look deep inside your heart your spiritual heart wisdom will reveal a glimmer of hope, and this can lead you to a brighter future.

This gorgeous faery reminds us to always tap into hope, because looking for hope and joy and changing your beliefs can literally change your future.

As you can see on the card a rainbow and a dove of peace are shown and they often come together reminding us that anything is possible. Sometimes we just need an extra boost, so the faeries fly in on the wings of a dove to let us know that they’re with you with any difficulties you are experiencing.

Remaining hopeful while those around you are full of doubt and negativity can be extra challenging, but remember that hope comes from deep within our hearts and is an excellent habit to cultivate.

Heart wisdom and hope will see you through whatever is going on for you and those around you right now, so have courage and trust as the Faery of Hope walks hand in hand with peace and miracles.

NATURE’S SIGNS

The faeries love to leave hints and clues for us in nature. It’s one of the many creative ways in which they initiate communication with us.

For example, faeries often leave feathers or release floating dandelion seeds to let us know they’re nearby. The appearance of a friendly bird, such as a robin, is another message that they are close by.

Faeries and other creatures often work together as they’re all in harmony with the Earth, whose wisdom can come in many forms. Just allow yourself to be receptive and use your intuition to decipher any signs that you see.

If possible, sit next to a flowing stream and visualise your cares being resolved and any concerns flowing away. Alternatively, imagine your hopes and wishes flowing towards you, looking out for any significant signs from nature as you do so.

You could also leave your own sign for the faeries next time you’re out in nature, letting them know you wish to connect with them. Leaving a tiny wooden fairy door next to a tree is a sure sign to the fey that you’re a faery friend.

The faeries will pick up on your intentions and help to manifest them. If you don’t have access to a stream, it can be just as effective to visualise the process.

Those are some gorgeous, delicious messages! I’d love to know which card chose you and how it landed in your heart. Did Spirit score the winning goal? Did the Full Moon shine a light on something you’d been quietly avoiding? Or perhaps it simply reminded you that it’s time to change your game plan.

As we blow the final whistle on June and step onto the field of a brand-new month, remember that every ending carries the seed of a new beginning. Celebrate how far you’ve come, be gentle with yourself where you’re still growing, and trust that Spirit is already cheering you on from the sidelines.

Have a stupendous week, delicious lovely. Breathe deeply, celebrate your glorious, gorgeous self, and above all… have fun! Life is infinitely sweeter when we remember to play.

Big hugs, squeezes, moonbeams and bubbles galore!

Bubble Release Ritual.

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Bubble Release Ritual

This ritual is excellent for helping you embrace the themes of abundance and letting go during the Corn Moon. It’s also an excellent manifestation technique.

Using bubbles as part of your Corn Moon ritual infuses the celebration with lightness, playfulness, and the reminder that life’s moments are temporary.

Create Sacred Space

Gather your bubble-blowing materials and select an outdoor location with open space. Decorate the area with candles, lanterns, or natural elements like leaves and flowers. Ideally, perform the ritual when the Corn Moon’s light is most prominent.

Setting Intentions

Take a moment to reflect on your intentions for the ritual.

What aspects of your life do you want to release? What abundance do you wish to invite?

Release Intention

Hold your bubble wand or tool and take a deep breath. As you exhale, blow a bubble into the air. Visualize the bubble carrying away the intentions you want to release.

Watch as the bubble rises and eventually pops, symbolizing the act of letting go.

Abundance Intention

Now, dip your wand into the bubble solution again. As you blow a bubble this time, visualize it representing abundance and blessings flowing into your life.

Watch the bubble shimmer in the moonlight, representing the beauty of the abundance you invite into your life.

Repetition and Reflection

Continue blowing bubbles with released intentions and abundance intentions, alternating between the two. As you blow each bubble, let go of any attachment to the outcome and trust the flow of the universe.

After you’ve blown bubbles with your intentions and reflected on the symbolism, take a moment to stand in the moonlight.

Close your eyes and feel the energy of the Corn Moon surrounding you.

Express gratitude for the release and abundance you’ve invited into your life.

My Birthday, Equinox and a giftie for You!

Jenny Heston · 4:14 pm ·

Happy Marvellous, Metaphysical, Magical, Mysterious, Musical, Manifesting, Mabon, Monday!

How was your glorious Virgo New Moon? Did you take time to breathe in that rich Earth Goddess energy and make some wishes/intentions?

I am so excited as Equinox is just around the corner! Here in the Northern Hemisphere we are celebrating Mabon, which is Fall. In the Southern Hemisphere it is Ostara – Spring! Two of my most favourite seasons!

So grab a nice strong cuppa, snuggle up and let’s go explore Mabon and My birthday gift to YOU! shall we?

In case you didn’t know Equinox or Mabon falls on September 22nd (my birthday!) and is a powerful time of abundance and celebrating the bounty you have.

The Autumn Equinox is the 2nd of only 2 days through the year when the Earth is in perfect balance. On the Equinox, day and night are equal. But in autumn, the sun is waning and the days are now shorter than the night.

The equinox is that delicious place of balance, gratitude and bounty – both inner and outer! In celebrating Mabon we give ourselves time to focus on gratitude and open our hearts to the great natural world around us. Gratitude is so empowering and healing: it helps us to create a conscious connection with each other and the universe and see our life’s journey as an endless cycle of in-breath and out-breath, of giving and receiving.

We are beginning to turn inward. This is a time of balance just as it is for the natural world around us. We feel the coming of the darkness and are pulled towards our spiritual side in a new way.

A couple of great questions to ask yourself are – Where do I need Equinox’s balance in my life right now? What am I being called to let go of for myself this season?

Mabon is often referred to as “Witches Thanksgiving ” (no, it doesn’t mean you have to be a witch). It means it’s the second harvest festival on the wheel of the year, a time to give thanks for the bounty in your life, to release the things that you may have outgrown and to be grateful and count your blessings! Yes?

Counting our Blessings is a powerful practice and something I do every morning on the beach or in the woods!

Not only do we count our blessings, it’s also important to take time to reflect on our triumphs from the year and acknowledge what we’ve worked hard to grow and harvest. We need to remember to feel proud of our accomplishments. However, in order for new growth to occur in the spring, things must die in the autumn.

Many of you have emailed and asked if there is going to be a Mabon Magickal Manual this year, HECK YES! She is quite lovely and the perfect way to guide and support you into breathing in the essence of abundance, the change of season and awakening to all its meanings.

As Equinox is my birthday, my gift to you is the most delicious Mabon Magickal Manual (fondly known as MMM), where you get to pick the price!

(Yes, I did say that outloud).

She has 46 pages of pure magick, myth, oracle spreads, rituals, practices, how to work with the glorious archetype of this season (and she is an amazing one) and so much more! All to help you come into balance and harvest exactly what you need at this time!

Thus, she will be available from today until I come back from my birthday trip where I am going to explore Salt Spring Island with all my kids and their partners. My plans are to play, explore, dance, weave with the energies and hike the fairy door trail (and maybe take one to leave there).

So with all the chuntering, let’s crack on. As you allow your breathing to slow down a tad, and come back into your body. I invite you to just BE and BREATHE, allowing everything else to just drop away for this moment. Then when you are ready ask your wise inner where is the balance I need at this time of year?

Then when you are ready – pick.

Let’s go see who wants to share with you this week.

HUMMINGBIRD DREAMS

The Smallest

Even those who seem the least to us have their dreams. The tiniest and the weakest have their place in the Universe just as we do. They have a special job that only they can do, a place that only they can fill. There is no one being that is more important or more worthy than another, regardless of the form in which they choose to express themselves in life.

We marvel at the tiniest hummingbird. How can it move its wings so rapidly that it can hover in one spot and then fly off in a split second? What strength and agility it has. What diving form! It’s hard to believe that something so tiny can bring so much beauty and wonder.

If you are feeling small and insignificant, remember your uniqueness. The only shoes you have to fill are your own and they fit you just fine!

There are no insignificant people, none who are less whole than another. Eliminate prejudices and judgements whether cast upon yourself or another. If you feel that someone is not up to your standards, then realise that is what you are projecting upon them.

Change your perception and see them truly as they are…a reflection of the Divine, just as you are.

Spirit expresses through us all in its own way. It’s not for us to second-guess.

If you are feeling less than whole, remember your divine birth and take comfort in knowing that you are divinely perfect. Pursue your dreams and know that you are divinely guided. Have faith in your dreams and your abilities.

I am a unique being.

There is no other like me.

My purpose is my own to fulfil.

No one else can do this.

Spirit expresses through me,

In a way that only I can give expression.

My gifts to the world are mine alone to give.

I am in divine harmony with all life.

So be it!

Take time to notice the smallest things today.

WISHING YOU HEALTH

Wholeness

If you find yourself wishing for your wholeness, then it’s time to do whatever it takes to break the spell of dis-ease whether it be on a physical, mental or spiritual level. All these levels must work together in order for you to be the best that you can be.

There must also be acknowledgment that lack of wholeness, or the feeling that something is missing, is all just an illusion.

First understand your divine perfection, that you are now and have always been whole! Bring that wholeness down and merge it into your body. Treat your body well with a good diet, exercise and loving thoughts.

If it is time for a checkup, then go get one. There is always something you can do to honour your body and make it a happier place to reside. Sometimes you have to place yourself above others in order to get proper rest and to ease out the tensions in your life. This is not a selfish act, as you must be in tiptop condition in order to give your best to yourself and others.

Forgive yourself and others for any past deeds, as holding onto these regrets takes a lot of energy that could be used elsewhere.

Move forward. Love yourself! Know that you are worthy of good health and happiness!

I am worthy of good rest.

I am worthy of good food.

I am worthy of good health.

I am worthy of the good in life.

So be it!

Call a friend today!

LIGHTING THE WAY

Illumination

We all wish for guidance and help along the way, yet sometimes guidance comes from within. When we connect to the energy of Spirit that resides within each of us, we see clearly what we are to do. Reach for the stars!

Allow that communication with Spirit to connect you to your highest good.

Connecting to Spirit is as easy as recognising that you are already one with the Universal Power. Strengthen your trust in your Divinity.

Ultimately, you are to be the one who shows others the way. You hold the light for them as they climb the path of illumination.

In order to do so you must continue your own journey in learning and refining your own truth. It is only through example that we can change our world, one person at a time. But if enough people hold the light, in enough places, we can bring about change at a much more advanced rate.

This glorious faery holds the lantern for all to see, so that anyone who wishes to climb the path can better see the footholds and avoid the pitfalls. She has reached the highest peak. Her face shows that she takes her job seriously.

Guidance can come in many forms…the words of a friend or loved one, or of a professional counselor. Guidance can come from a book or a stranger’s words.

Listen to what information comes your way, then sit with it and meditate on it. You will get a sense as to whether it is valid for you or not, if you are open and willing to hear your truth. You may be destined to teach or counsel others.

Each step of my journey is illuminated and sure.

I move with trust and confidence.

I welcome the chance to light the way for others.

I hold the light high.

So be it!

Light a candle for someone today!

Oh my gosh, I so, so, so love the cards. Perfect for this moment in time! So most delicious one, please take a moment to breathe in gratitude and like a tree, allow the leaves of release to drop like cosmic compost. Remember the Mabon Magickal Manual birthday gift and I will see you in two weeks! Big hugs and squeezes.
