Ritual

Possibilities and the Buck Moon.

Happy Mysterious, Marvellous, Musing, Magickal, Mellifluous, Manifesting Monday!

How was your Solstice? Did you take some time to soak up the sun’s energy and light your inner flame? The things that make you feel filled with passion, hope and joy? I hope so!

I took the day off work and the whole day was splendidly delicious. A couple of the ways I celebrated was to go for a walk in the woods and watch the sunbeams dance amidst the myriad of green branches and light up the moss.

Then, down to the ocean, the same spot where my sister and I visited 5 years ago and celebrated Solstice.

The same spot where the Solstice intention I set then came to pass exceptionally quickly, and changed my life in a way I couldn’t imagine.

There I offered up the beautiful Sun Wheel that I had woven of ivy, St. John’s wort, ocean spray and feverfew – all filled with my releases and my intentions. It was incredibly powerful to cast it on the ocean and watch it gently float further and further from shore, as it slowly unravelled.

Yesterday, we had a glorious Solstice gathering within Creatrix Circle, and I will say I love the women that are in this circle. They blow my hair back with their openness, their vulnerability and their depth.

And for all those who have emailed and messaged saying that they missed the open spots for the Solstice Reading Special and will be another one – the answer is possibly at the Equinox, we shall see.

So let’s talk about Possibilities shall we?

I bring up Possibility as with the Solstice just passed, this is the time to really look inwards and outwards and see what you can create, manifest, call into being or try.

I was listening to something the other day and a Chinese Medical Practitioner shared that when someone dies of old age what is really happening is their heart stops believing in Possibilities.

So when someone dies of old age, their heart no longer sees possibilities for that lifetime and their spirit departs.

Sit with that for a minute. Mull the word Possibilities around in your mind for a moment.

On a deep and tangible level Possibility opens our heart to the experience of life.

Possibility is the very thing that makes life worth living. That gives our Spirit something to live for on this planet.

The opposite of Possibility is when we feel stagnant, stuck, trapped or confused. Which we all experience at some point or another and is one of the most blaugh feelings in the world.

However, what is happening here is your Spirit is asking you to perceive Possibility again.

Possibility is asking this question – “What opportunities are here for me?”

Possibility is looking at a dead end and seeing that the path continues. You may not know where it’s going, but it’s there waiting for you to see it and take a step onto it.

Possibility opens our heart to the truth of life’s wonder and connects us back to where we are meant to be, which is allowing the Divine to dance with us.

Possibility opens the portal of our perception.

…….and most often times our perception is rather limited.

When we are in the mindset of Possibility we are able to see new ideas, innovations, ways of being that we couldn’t see before.

So ask yourself this question – “In my dream of dreams what would be possible for me?”

The minute we step out of our daily routine and rut we are opening ourselves up to greater Possibilities.

So are you willing this week to play with Possibilities?

Possibilities and the Solstice energy tie in deliciously with the Buck Moon energy which is coming in on July 3rd.

The spiritual meaning of the Buck Moon is a powerful time for abundance, strength, passion and possibilities.

This moon is a lovely time to reflect on your life and decide what steps you’d like to take next. What vistas are you willing to perceive in your life? What are you open to?

Make time for fun and joy!

Turn off technology and be present in the joyous season of summer.

Find activities that fill up your soul with happiness and pleasure as this is when possibilities come flooding in.

So with all of that chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the guides and cards and asked who wanted to show and shine – the deck that came out loud and proud this week is Love Your Inner Goddess Oracle. Perfect! As we could all do with loving ourselves a wee bit more and being a tad more gentle and kind whilst we open up to all the delicious possibilities that are available to us.

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them – “These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth.

Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world. We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK. Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense. She wants so much more for you. She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny. She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart. She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you. You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true.

There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed. Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity. She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart. “

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time. Woosah!

So gorgeous one, breathe. Just breathe, BE and allow yourself to relax, your mind to calm, your breath to slow and ask your wise inner self – what do I need to know this week. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your heartstrings – don’t let your mind pick!

If you need help with getting into the flow, there’s a lovely guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

BRIGHT DESTINY

To become truly yourself, shining your divine beauty and light, you will go through a process of releasing what is no longer right and true for you.

Like the caterpillar who sheds the chrysalis when it is time to emerge as the butterfly, you will let go of the person you once thought you needed to be.

This can feel freeing, exciting. It can also seem frightening.

You may feel crazy sometimes, trying to hold onto a past that is no longer available to you and grasping for a future that is yet to be.

Sometimes, it can feel like a dark night of the soul, filled with questioning and confusion.

Others may not understand what is happening, and you may feel as though you can’t really explain it, either. In such times, we have to trust that all the changes and uncertainty are part of a process of growth – letting go in order to open up to something amazing and new.

This is happening for you now. You don’t have to be afraid. You are going through this because you are ready for it, even if you think you’re not.

There is a loving reason for all of it, even if you cannot see that right now.

Put your faith in the mystery. Trust that the answers will come – and so will the joy of all that you have grown into. Stay true to your path and know that you have a bright destiny ahead.

For now, let the process happen. Fear can make us try to force something that isn’t quite ready yet. Don’t try to impose a meaning, take action or understand it all prematurely. Don’t think too hard!

It’s OK to relax and trust that the moment of clarity will come when the time is right.

PRIORITY OF PURPOSE

Making a choice can be hard, as if to say yes to one thing, you have to say no to fifteen other things! Remember that saying no is just saying, “not right now”, rather than “never”.

There is a higher plan for your life that includes all of your passions. You can do it all, but just not all at once.

Your soul knows how to build your most inspired and beautiful divine life, as though it were building an extraordinary temple for your spirit.

It knows that the foundations need to be prepared and the walls built before the windows, doors and skylight can be installed. The roof may be absolutely one-of-a-kind incredible, but if you try to lay the roof before you’ve built the walls, you are going to have some problems!

There is a certain order to how things need to happen, which the soul intuitively knows.

That is why listening to the soul and trusting your inner guiding voice makes more sense than trying to accomplish everything straight away and ending up with so much less than you deserve for all that effort.

Every moment of patience and sacrifice that you make now is stored up by the Universe as a sweet grace that you will receive back later, as everything falls into place so perfectly.

Tune in and trust your soul to show you how to gain everything you ever dreamed of, one simple step at a time.

EARTH GODDESS

You have beautiful dreams and wonderful visions of what life could be. It is not enough to imagine them. You want to live them! This is exactly how you are meant to feel.

For that to happen, you must practise feeling grounded, taking practical earthly steps, one at a time, to bring your dreams to life. The Universe will send so much help your way, but you are the one who must take the steps. Spirit cannot do that for you.

Even if you are not sure how your biggest, boldest dreams can come together, you can still ask yourself, “What is it that I can do now?”

Sometimes, it will be an obvious action that you can take, and, sometimes you will need to pray and meditate and ask for the way forward to be shown.

When you can do something, do it. When you cannot, rest and wait for your intuition to nudge you when the time is right to take action.

Remember, you are an Earth Goddess. You have the power to manifest your visions, to bring your beautiful ideas to life in the world. This is what you are here to do. Remember to love yourself enough to recognise your creative power and use it joyfully each day.

There’s a fantasy that wants to become reality for you. Don’t let a few gritty moments or human imperfections prevent you from experiencing the joy of heaven on Earth.

Oh my gosh, I so love my guides and the cards. Perfect for this time! So my most glorious one, I wish for you a stupendous week filled with Possibilities and the energy of the Buck Moon. There will not be a reading next week as it is Canada Day here and I am going to dance with adventure and possibilities. Huge hugs!

5 Ways to Be Like the Sun at Solstice.

Jenny Heston · 5:45 pm ·

Summer solstice, also known as Litha, is the longest day of the year, but it’s only the very beginning of the summer months with the hottest weather yet to come.

Litha is one of the eight traditional Pagan holidays when daytime energies are at their strongest, radiating mega-doses of vitality and love.

The Sun, seen from an esoteric level, is all about love and wisdom. It’s the primary ray of energy from which everything else is created. It’s the Heart of creation. The Sun never fails to shine, always “rises” to meet us, and sustains life on Earth.

This year, Litha falls on June 21st – a time when those of us who practice magic speak of drawing down the Sun. This means connecting with prana or life force, both within and without.

To draw down or bring out the Sun means harnessing radiant solar energies in order to have the confidence to let yourself shine and be seen. It’s affirming that you’re strong, vibrant, loving, warm, and filled with light.

Litha is the Sun’s day, and the Sun is the center of our solar system. It brings us all back to our center, to our hearts, and the creative source of everything.

The Sun rules the passionate, creative, and proud sign, Leo.

Leo is motivated to share and lead from the heart and become the brightest, fullest version of itself. With the Sun at its maximum power, Litha’s the perfect time to recognize all the things, small and large, that you’ve created and shared with others.

It’s also time to honor the leader within you and how you continue to express more of your most authentic self.

At the summer solstice, a doorway in time opens, which our ancestors viewed as sacred and holy. Litha is a grand portal of energy, space, and opportunity – a chance to let go of fears, doubts, and insecurities.

After the Sun reaches its maximum power, it begins to decline.

Slowly, the night force will grow stronger until its peak at the winter solstice.

Litha is the last chance in our calendar year to activate sacred intentions before moving into autumn and winter, the natural seasons of harvest and rest. I

t’s a time to step out in faith and imagine what’s entirely possible for yourself.

Dream an expansive vision for your life that will sustain you as the darkness slowly returns with the fall.

5 Ways to Be Like the Sun

1. Be the Light

The Sun is a star, and its job is to shine! So is yours, in your unique ways. No matter what happens around you, you always have a choice to see, be, and share the light. What I mean by light is love. Whatever you’re doing and wherever you are, choose that love and give it away freely. There’s no prescription for how this looks, so get creative and just do you – in the truest, sincere, most authentic ways you know.

2. Take the Lead

Solar energy is motivating and naturally attracts attention. Use that power for good and be the best example you can. You may not own a business or directly work with large groups, but people look to you. Notice who they are and think about what they see. Every time your inner sun comes into someone else’s field, it makes an impact. It radiates its energy and infuses people, spaces, and places. Be a leader with your energy and set an example worthy of following.

3. Co-Create

The Sun represents the principle of co-creation and animates the entire zodiac. It doesn’t exist alone and wouldn’t mean anything without the rest of the solar system to interact with. In the tarot, The Sun card is about working with others in ways that inspire you and the world. To be like the Sun is to find people who share your passions and bring all that energy together to make something purposeful. Creatives need each other to stay creative. We’re not meant to do this alone. Find a way to connect and make something exciting happen.

4. Act with Integrity

What do I mean by integrity? I mean acting from wholeness by integrating body, mind, heart, and spirit. Most simply, you act with integrity when you’re true to yourself. It’s so easy to think or feel a certain way but act another, which causes a division within you. Some animals, like horses, are especially sensitive to this inauthenticity. They can feel the conflict and won’t trust someone who’s acting out of alignment with their emotional energy – like pretending to be tough when truly afraid. Integrity takes personal work, practice, and honesty. To act with integrity, you have to be honest about where you’re at and what you’re doing. When you know your ego is reacting, own it. Don’t pretend to be something you’re not or commit to doing something you’re not ready to do. Be honest about your feelings, even if it’s a little uncomfortable.

In astrology, the Sun is the planet of integration. Your Sun Sign is the energy through which you’re integrating yourself. If you’re a Libra, it all comes together through relationships, balancing extremes, and cooperation. If you’re a Sagittarius, it all comes together through searching to find more meaning and following your true path. We’re all in the process of integrating our higher and lower selves. With awareness and practice, you can align your thoughts and actions with your heart and higher mind.

5. Balance Your Solar Plexus Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra or Manipura color is bright yellow, like the Sun. This center is located just above your belly button and is the powerhouse of your energy system. Balancing this chakra helps you confidently stand and act in your power. If your Solar Plexus Chakra is underactive, you might feel powerless or uncertain. If it’s overactive, you might become overpowering and arrogant. Humility is part of this chakra’s medicine. True strength is humility. This chakra is also where you manifest all the things you create. You can think of your Solar Plexus Chakra as the Sun, radiating warmth and light into life. Activate this energy center to rest assured of your capabilities and to make things happen for yourself. Below are some tremendous Solar Plexus herbs, oils, stones, deities, and mantras you can work with.

Solar Plexus Herbs/Oils: Calendula, cumin, helichrysum, lemon, neroli, turmeric

Solar Plexus Stones: Sunstone, yellow aventurine, pyrite, yellow apatite, citrine, golden healer quartz, tiger’s eye

Solar Plexus Deities: Agni, Athena, Ma’at, Pele, Ra, Sekhmet, Xiuhtecuhtli

Solar Plexus Mantras:

“I am strong, capable, and powerful.”

“I stand in my power.”

“I am the leader of my life.”

In Closing

If you want to delve deeper into how to welcome Solstice and harness that energy, grab your copy of SASS.

However you choose to welcome summer, and long past it, I hope you’ll find ways to grow and feed the light for the benefit of us all.

May you feel on the deepest level how powerful you are – how your energy and the way you run it make an impact. May you use your light to inspire and empower others. May we all choose the wisdom of love. From my heart to yours, happy Litha.

Seeds of Intention Ritual

Jenny Heston · 4:44 pm ·

Gather together some small pots, peat pods and seeds of choice (I personally am going to work with herbs), your journal, paper and a pen and a lovely candle.

Find some time in your day where you have the space to go inward and get really intentional.

Read Code of the Seeds.

Light your candle and take 10 – 20 minutes to write in your journal (or BOS) about the seeds you want to plant with intention, integrity and faith.

What do you want to see thriving, growing and blossoming in your life?

When you’ve completed your writing exercise, take your pieces of paper and write each of these intentions on a separate piece of paper.

Then play in the dirt!

Take one of your intentions and put it at the bottom of your little pot, pour dirt over top and plant your seed of choice.

Whisper a little blessing (AIR) , pat the EARTH gently, give it a luscious drink of water and put it somewhere where the sun can daily kiss it.

Then when you’ve planted as many seeds as you want to, offer up thanks to the Divine, give yourself a huge hug, blow out your candle and have faith that your seeds will flourish as will you.

How did this feel?

What seeds did you plant literally and figuratively?

What’s Love Got to Do with it?

Jenny Heston · 10:10 am ·

Happy Mellow, Magickal, Mystifying, Manifesting, Marvellous Monday!

Oh my giddy aunt, as I started writing this reading my guides came in with an amazing soundtrack of love songs, songs from my parents era “Love is in the air”. Tina Turner rocking “What’s love got to do with it”, and a shed ton more!

I had “thought” I was going to write about Valentine’s Day and how it is in essence a made up day that Hallmark and whomever sells the choccies and red roses are doing very well with.

Yet again, I got a huge smack down on that from what I call my “posse”, and when they smack, I pay the frig attention, so it’s not going to be what I thought – so stick with me, lol – or don’t, your choice.

So most certainly in Western cultures Valentine’s day is being celebrated. The stores are filled with gitchy things to buy, a single rose is $7 and the price of chocolate has gone up by 35%. Wow.

Personally I find Valentine’s Day irritates me, not because I don’t believe in love, but why on earth do we need just one day where we are meant to be loving, and why is it only focused on romantic love?

What if you aren’t in a romantic relationship? What if you’ve lost your partner? I mean for criminies sake, why aren’t we celebrating all forms of love – family, friends, community, nature, spiritual and most importantly self love?

Because, let’s be honest – without self love and appreciation for your own gorgeous being, you don’t have anything! (And NO self love is NOT selfish!)

Had to clear that up as one of my clients a while ago said that they felt selfish taking time for themselves and doing something nurturing.

Self-love is all about nourishing your mind, spirituality, and physical body. Try to aim at all three of these to create a more well-rounded self-care plan. Focus on activities you get excited about doing. This is all about you after all, if it doesn’t give you a little thrill, why bother?

To fully love, forgive and accept yourself is magickal, and allows the Divine to flow through you.

So I invite you to think about love and romance in a whole different way this year.

Look at ways you can increase your self-love. How can you take better care of yourself?

How can you be your own best lover and your own best partner?

Offer yourself all the things you would love to have from a lover.

Book romantic dates for yourself.

Make love to yourself slowly, and with intention.

Spend time journaling your feelings.

Say all those wonderful words that you say to your best friend, to build them up, to yourself.

If you’re struggling, get the help and support that you need to release the doubts and fears.

Fall in love with your glorious self every day, not just Valentine’s Day.

And remember, love all of yourself – even the jiggly bits lol, because you are so, so, so very worth it!

Use the energy of this Pisces New Moon that comes in on February 19th, to really tap into your emotions and write a love letter to yourself!

I’ve created a glorious Self Love Spell, which is an easy and lovely candle ritual for you to do.

Okay, I have chuntered on enough, so let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share their wisdom and insight with you this week, the glorious “Love Your Inner Goddess” guides came out big and bold. Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to).

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time. Woosah!

Okay dear heart, just settle into yourself. Allow your breath to find its natural rhythm. Just breathe into all the corners of your glorious being, and allow in your mind’s eye a glorious vortex to start swirling. As it opens, see it filled with love, all sorts of love and allow it to soothe you and to remind you that you are love incarnate. Then when you’re ready pick the card or cards that dance around your heart.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

HERO

Believe that you are worthy of an amazing life.

You don’t need to feel guilty or hold yourself back to make anyone else feel comfortable.

You don’t need to be timid or uncertain, worrying that you are becoming too much for someone else or asking too much from the Universe.

Living a great life is not about competition with anyone else. Living a great life helps inspire others to do the same – it doesn’t take anything away from anyone else.

If your dreams both excite and scare you, that’s a good sign. Give yourself permission to go for it. Go after what you want with a happy heart.

You have every right to be proud of yourself. You have courage. You have listened to your heart, even though sometimes that seemed to be the harder choice to make. You may have days when you don’t feel so heroic, but, deep within you know you have guts and you are strong.

You know that a challenge is the way the Universe shows you that you are capable of something more.

An opportunity is before you, now. Has your heart been urging you to take a stand or take action in some way? Would you feel proud of yourself if you honoured that?

Then do it!!!!

You are learning what it is to truly respect and take pride in yourself. That means feeling good about the sort of person you choose to be, how you choose to live your life – not lowering your standards to be the same as everyone else, but honouring your heart, becoming an inspiration to yourself.

You don’t need to try to impress anyone. You are an awesome human being, and you have everything within to make yourself proud.

It’s time to step up. It’s time to be your own here.

WILD AND FREE

This is an important time in your life, when you are being guided to lead from your heart. Even if it makes no sense to you or anyone else – or if your mind screams at you with fear and doubt – don’t ignore what your heart is telling you.

Give yourself the time and space that you need, away from the noise and the demands of the world and other people, so that the quiet voice of your heart can be heard. Then take courage and act on what you feel.

Your heart is wise and worthy of your trust.

Your heart was never meant to be tamed. It is always truthful.

When you allow yourself to be true to your heart, it will show you how to create a beautiful contribution to this world that fills you up with joy and peace.

You don’t need to be ashamed of what you feel or be persuaded that you should feel differently. Your heart has wisdom beyond the logic of the mind. It has its own creative genius, a unique way to reframe problems, attract solutions and empower us to bring our dreams to life.

Some may be afraid of the wild freedom of the heart. You are not one of those people.

Your mind may not always understand why your heart feels and guides you the way it does, but that is OK. Reassure your mind that your heart can show you how to live in a way that is amazing – and that it’s safe to trust in that.

You are a wild child of the Universe, and your heart is showing you the way to fulfil your divine destiny.

Give yourself permission to live a life that makes your heart.

The world needs your joy!

PRINCESS SAVIOUR

Even if you feel uncertain about facing a challenge, believe in yourself.

You are strong enough to conquer this. There will be help if you need it, but you already have the inner resources required to overcome any obstacle and attain the most blessed outcome.

If you are in the process of letting go of someone or something – perhaps an old habit, an old way of life, a relationship or a situation in which you have felt trapped – don’t allow insecurity or uncertainty to stop you.

You’ve got this, and you are doing the right thing in moving on.

When you realise that you are strong enough to save yourself (which you are), you never have to be afraid again. As well as inner strength, you have inner wisdom.

Deep within, you just know when something or someone is (or is not) worthy of your time, energy and attention.

The most precious treasure that you will ever have is the divine gift of yourself.

There is nothing that is more valuable, and no one that is worth losing yourself over.

You don’t need permission from anyone other than yourself to decide to walk away from what isn’t right for you, or to stand your ground and honour your values, or to say no and refuse to give in to social pressures.

You can be open to help and grateful for assistance, but you also know that whenever you need it, you have the power to learn, to act, to figure it out, to find the love within that will empower you for the life that you deserve.

Woosah! Those were glorious messages for the week! So gorgeous one, sending you big love, squeezes, warm cups of tea and a soothed soul. May your heart be full and your spirit light! Try out the candle ritual and remember – You are loved, you are worthy and you are amazing! See you in 2 weeks!

Imbolc, Full Moon and a Glorious Free Gift for You.

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Mystical, Marvellous, Magnanimous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you gorgeous one? How are you feeling?

I have just recovered from “the plague” that my housemate very kindly brought back from Utah and ran rampant through my home taking out everyone! Including my daughter who was here visiting for 2 weeks and her fabulous 4 month old baby. (Which made me uber, uber bitchy!)

So grumpy, fed up, tired and bitchy has been the energy of everyone for the last 10 days! Then to add insult to injury a major gas line was ruptured so we were without heat for 2 days! Thank goodness for a hot water bottle, a kettle and cups of tea.

So let’s explore the energies of this mid winter time, Imbolc and the Full Moon and I have a glorious free gift to support you at this time. If you read on, you will understand why I created her for you.

Interestingly enough, when working with seasonal energies this heavy, fed up, bitchy energy is right on cue for this time of year. Imbolc is on Wednesday and marks the spot of mid-winter.

The mid place between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. This time of year can feel rather heavy, grey and drab in many ways, but………

We had all the celebrations at the end of December and the start of January, and there is a sense of “now what?” Some are fretting about how they are going to realise the goals they set at New Year, others are still perking their path and others are just tired, bone tired!

However, we’re starting to notice the days are getting a bit longer, there might be some tiny little shoots beginning to sprout above the surface. Have to say, all of my snowdrops are out in full force, which makes me smile with their little white bobbing heads.

There is a sense of hope & anticipation, that new life will arrive soon. And, there’s also a heaviness to it.

Why?

At Imbolc, we’re beginning to really realise, something is shifting in our lives.

Imbolc itself means “quickening in the belly”. There is something shifting and changing.

We are beginning to root a bit more into this year of 2023 with its delicious 7 energy and we are expanding in some way. (Whether you can see it or not – can’t you feel it, though?) And there is a lot of resistance that comes with big expansion.

There’s a whole lot of forces (internal and external) that want to keep you small. It’s scary to level up in your life – and there are really strong parts of us that don’t like that.

But this is the work of winter: Winter is where you integrate all your experiences from last year & it alchemizes into new life, new growth, new parts of you that will emerge in the weeks & months ahead.

Right now there’s a stretching & growing happening deep within you. (Even if you can’t see it, it’s there!) And that can be deeply uncomfortable. Depending on the shifts you’re making in your life, the resistance can be intense.

And it creates a conflict within you. This is where the question arises: do you have the strength & the courage to push through that resistance, to whatever’s on the other side? Or do you give in & lean back on old ways of operating?

This is the challenge and invitation at Imbolc.

If things feel hard for you right now, trust it’s because you are EXPANDING. You’re doing big work in your life (even if you can’t see it, yet) and you’re going to feel resistance to that.

At Imbolc, this is when the seeds of your life are planted….

So remember to take sweet, gentle care of yourself right now. Nurture yourself, nourish your spirit. And REST, sweet one. Just rest. We are still in winter. This is your most important work.

So to help you with your work I have a free gift for you!

This is the Fabulous Imbolc guide, which I nicknamed Fi after my glorious big sister who hated winter! Yet come the snowdrops and the Leo Full Moon and her energy would perk up and she could feel the growth stirring underground, the change and the hope.

The Full Moon in Leo arrives on Sunday February 5th. This delicious Full Moon has some lovely sparkly energy to balance any heaviness you are feeling. This Full Moon is also called the Snow Moon and its spiritual meaning folds in with Imbolc. This moon is full of change and transition, it represents change, hope and growth.

Remember, growth during the Snow Moon isn’t always comfortable or easy. Figure out ways you can relax and surrender to this transitional season. How can you clear out the unnecessary to make room for the meaningful?

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

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

Take some time to really focus and be present. Contemplate your personal and spiritual intentions. This is a truly magical time, full of beautiful energy and momentum! These are the days the Full Snow Moon rises.

Do you see the folding now?

So my darlings with Imbolc just around the corner and the glorious Full Moon to back it up, when I went to the cards I grinned a huge grin as the gorgeous guides of The Faery Forest Oracle were adamant to join! Now if these are new guides for you, please let me introduce them as it would be 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.”

I have created a guided visualisation for you to really see this energy that is flooding in you, around you, towards you and through you. If that doesn’t resonate then just Breathe. Breathe into your toe nails, breathe into the roots of your hair, breathe in all the promises, the blessings and opportunities and sigh your exhale out, letting go of anything that feels a tad sticky or tacky.

When you are ready, invite your inner wise knowing to pick the card or cards that call to you.

What whispers for you, what do you need to be aware of?

Did you remember to pick?

Take a breath and let’s go have a look!

THE TRICKSTER

Let me be a reminder to be true to yourself, to your own personal truths, to the code within your soul. Truly, at this time it is essential for you to let your conscience be your guide, and to live according to your own creed, with open eyes. Do not fool yourself into believing another person’s vision and ideas are more important than your own – question agendas, and be aware of people’s history. For at this time, there is one about you who is attempting to persuade you to their cause, to join them in what they see is a great task, but which in truth is simply a harnessing of your power to their agenda, which is not for your highest good.

All tricksters are charming and know exactly what to say to persuade you – but this is mere language. Their deeds will not match their words, and what you are agreeing to by joining with them will be a loss of your own personal dreams for the furthering of theirs. If you allow yourself to be coerced, cajoled, and manipulated at this time, it will weigh heavily on your very soul.

Be more wary than is natural for you at this time. Do not betray yourself, or ignore the warning signs, which are all about you. Do not foolishly give away your power, but exercise it, and weave a future that is truly the one you wish to create – one, which will provide you with honour, plenty, and the satisfaction of having been true to yourself.

FAERY GODMOTHER

When the Faery Godmother comes to you, be aware that this is a time when you will discover what has been long hidden to you – your true self will be revealed in surprising ways every day, and sudden moments of heightened perception will make this time especially significant for you.

People finally get found out, manipulators can be seen through, true costs of circumstances are revealed, and any lies about you will be seen. This can be hard, but it is truly a hardship that is born of protection – you are safer for knowing in whom you can trust in order to make the right choices for your soul.

Throughout these revelations and insights will be a guiding hand – and this is the Faery Godmother. She is showing you what it is you need to know in order to create and foster a life that works for you – and she is a protective force too.

So what you need will come to you, sometimes in strange ways. Be mindful of counting your blessings at this time – for this is the energy your Faery Godmother can draw upon to keep transforming your life into one which is more abundant, magickal, meaningful, and joyful.

Note every moment of truth – they are all significant, and you are better for discovering what was once hidden from you.

INITIATE

Your energy is unworldly, naive and unguarded – and you will therefore soon face tests which will help you acquire experience and wisdom. You have an inclination to take risks without thinking of where the road you wish to dart down will lead you, you have a tendency to say and do many things without thinking through the possible impact.

You speak the uncomfortable truth as no other can.

The lessons you are experiencing are filling your life with richness – you have so much trust and self-belief, but you are not prideful.

You are ready to take great chances, and others may even judge you as being about to take crazy risks. You may be contemplating leaving a safe job, about to travel, enter a new relationship wholeheartedly, or make a move in life without having examined all the consequences.

You are curious, enquiring, and open hearted.

You are inquisitive, but you are no fool. You are an initiate, and you will therefore take risks as you face the unknown.

Your next steps into the mystery of life will be blessed, and you have the courage to now enter the unknown.

Hmmm, breathe in, breathe out. I don’t know about you but the guides picked these to help you release the dark, the fear, the tight and scratchy and to really let you know about the light that surrounds you and is encouraging you to streeeeettttchh and grow, like the sprout coming from the glorious seed. Wishing you a glorious week of celebration, intention, activation and ease. Keep cosy, laugh tons and make soup! (Always a good thing). Huge hugs and squeezes and see you next week.
