Roe vs Wade

How the New Moon and Lilith will help you Ignite and Claim your Sacred Rage.

Happy, Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Magnificent, Merry, Manifesting Monday!

I have to say yesterday was so fun!

It was the massive Pride parade here in Victoria, and I was volunteering at a booth, and I dressed! I became a glorious butterfly faery, in a wee tiny dress with wings that covered my whole back and draped down to the ground, it was awesome! I had bubble wands galore and let bubbles dance on the slight breeze we had in the intense heat.

It was incredible to see how many people turned out and all with the full intention of celebrating diversity, peoples rights to choose how they identify and what they need and how they express themselves. They were forecasting 25 – 30 thousand people which I thought was amazing!

It was a glorious panacea to how heavy my heart felt and how much anger surfaced when I heard that Roe vs Wade had been overturned. It floored me to think that someone else has the right to tell me what I can and can’t do with my body, or what my daughter’s can or can’t do.

Seriously, the USA has become one of the 4 nations in the world (yes in the world) who has rolled back abortion rights since 1994, and by far the wealthiest and most influential nation to do so. The other three nations to curtail abortion rights are Poland, El Salvador and Nicaragua.

As the Guardian reported – “The end of the right to abortion in the United Sates will have devasting consequences around the world. A half century ago, the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v Wade decision inspired a new era of reproductive freedom in dozens of countries. The court’s reversal will empower anti-abortion voices everywhere, threatening reproductive freedom and the right to control one’s destiny.“

And let’s be honest – banning abortion doesn’t mean there won’t be any. It means there won’t be safe abortions and people will be hurt and die.

So if you are at all feeling anger, disbelief, sadness, frustration – what do you do with it?

If you leave it to ferment in your body it won’t go well. It’s time to distil it into sacred rage that comes from the heart space, not the head space. The heart space is the compass, it is the guide to truth. Your truth. It’s the guide to clarity and a level of strength that is unstoppable.

It is the place of Sacred Rage.

Sacred Rage is a rage that propels us into sacred activism, to do something, instead of believing we are powerless to create change.

To take holy action where we can, and inseminate ripples of light. We all have our part to play in the greater tapestry. We all have our thread that is connected to the whole.

When a Woman Connects to and Cultivates a Positive, Mature Relationship to the Life Force Energy of Sacred Rage She Plugs Into An Ancient Lineage of Feminine Magic That Can Move Mountains.

She Becomes a Force of Nature and thunders after injustice.

So it’s interesting to see what the New Moon in Cancer, which happens on June 28th, is bringing to the table.

New Moons draw energy toward us, which is why they are typically a good time for setting intentions and thinking about what we wish to attract into our lives.

Under any New Moon, use it as a portal to draw things to you, use it to meditate on how you wish to feel, how you want your mindset to be, and how you wish to move through your day.

“Under this June 2022 Cancer New Moon, we may feel extra sensitive, but this sensitivity can be used to make us more intuitive, more compassionate, and more responsive to our environment.

By tuning into the subtle vibrations of the world around us they become a compass, letting us know which direction feels good and which direction feels out of balance. Using our sensitivity as an internal compass is how we can turn it into a superpower!“

This Cancer New Moon with its heightened sensitivity, will help us to determine where these beliefs stem from and how we push past them. Set some intentions and trust the New Moon will carry your requests through the Universe.

Black Moon Lilith is also close to the energy of the June 2022 New Moon.

Black Moon Lilith represents the feminine, particularly the darker, raw, feminine instincts that are suppressed or shunned in our current society.

Black Moon Lilith also represents sexual empowerment and stepping into our full power as an awakened goddess! Feeling sexy, feeling desirable, and knowing our worth are all domains that Black Moon Lilith can touch upon.

Black Moon Lilith isn’t subservient and doesn’t listen to authority. When in Cancer, she takes a stand and connects with causes that are near and dear. No one can tell Black Moon Lilith what to do – especially with her body.

So what are the intentions that your Sacred Rage is inviting you to set at this New Moon?

What energy and passion do you want to use to ignite change?

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading.

The cards that wiggled and giggled to come support this week are The Divine Circus Oracle, which made me laugh and nearly snort tea out of my nose! The reason I laughed is these glorious guides are playful, but deep. The most positively perfect guides for right now.

They think outside the box and invite you to do the same. If you have never met these glorious guides, please let me introduce you. “What is life if not a Divine Circus? Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us moments earlier. Life is magical, thrilling, sometimes strange and even scary. It can inspire you and touch your soul, inviting you to discover the unique magic within you, to dare to live it, to express it, to play with possibilities and embrace what sets you apart from the crowd. “

So gorgeous bean, centre and ground. Breathe yourself back into your body with lovely deep breaths. Allow all the pieces of you to come back to you. Then I invite you to see a fire, a glorious fire that is burning with strength and passion in your heart and your belly. Watch the flames dance and embrace that energy, that strength and passion. Let it whirl in your third eye space and then pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see, shall we?

DATE WITH DESTINY

Out of the ethers and into your life, she arrives now because you have a date with Destiny. She is a mysterious creature; her ways are wild and her guidance is true. She may create chaos from which a new order can emerge, but there is no need to fear. She has come to inspire, uplift and direct you.

A date with Destiny is a big deal. It is the moment when you realise there is something helping you out, something intelligent, powerful, wise and, no matter how empowered you are, something even more powerful than your own efforts.

All bets are off!

Nothing is held sacred and anything can happen. If you are a control freak, this will probably scare you witless! You can trust in Destiny’s interventions on your behalf, even if her work seems to be causing your best intentions to go astray.

Trust or go mad because you cannot control her. And you do not need to!

Your divine destiny is your best life. It is you in the fullest and most beautiful creative expression possible. It is what you want and need, even when you don’t immediately realise it, even when that is rather different to what you once thought you wanted and needed.

She isn’t, despite most people’s fears, a sadist. But she will dance through your life in her big stomping combat boots, even if that means causing some pain now to avoid a far greater pain later on. The appearance of havoc of mayhem is just a sign that she’s at work on a divine realignment assignment!

The Universe has heard the prayers in your heart, and life is going to answer them by rearranging what needs to be rearranged to sort out whatever has been troubling you. Make sure you let it happen. You are not meant to be in control.

Destiny is an exciting, unpredictable phenomena.

The more you allow yourself to trust in her, the more you will realise that the universe is working with you, rather than against you, and if you are willing, it will show you the time of your life!

CLOWN OF CROSSROADS

Opportunity is upon you, though it may seem like a farewell to what you have known.

This chance is a crossroad, a time when you go left or right.

You cannot continue with everything as it has been, and this means that something will have to be released for something else to be gained. It’s time for you to take your chances and make a choice.

Your life does not have to continue on as it has been anymore. You’re at a pattern breaking, life changing moment, or soon will be. Of course you can try to continue with the status quo, however, in doing so, you will be saying no to the pathway opening up for you. It’s time for a new phase of life to begin. Be patient as you feel for the truth of your choice, whilst remaining courageous enough not to procrastinate and become stuck in indecision.

You can’t take your whole life with you into new territory, and that’s okay. Certain people may be able to change and grow along with you, but other relationships, situations or circumstances will have to be sacrificed on the altar of new life.

This can be difficult and you must honour your loss, but not get taken down by it. You may be feeling fear and excitement, so it’s time to take heart. It’s time to leap!

RED COUNTESS

Deep within, you know what is true and what to do (or not do). Yet there is so much noise and distraction in the world, and even at times in our own minds, that listening for our inner wisdom can seem like trying to hear gentle birdsong in the midst of a rock concert.

Even so, you are hearing an inner truth, and deep down, you know it. Can you trust that it is safe to not only hear your inner voice but act on it too?

There is something that you know. You’ve felt, sensed, heard or realised this truth more than once. Even if others see or feel differently, you just know what you know, even if you don’t quite know how you know it!

Give your truths value. Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense.

Know that they’re worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying.

If you cannot figure out what your inner truths are, or you feel confused by conflicting thoughts and feelings, torn between head and heart, then you are in a state of information overload. You need to switch off, discharge some excess mental and emotional energy and take a break.

Give yourself some time out from the crazy noise and constant distractions of the world so you can get in touch with what is true for you.

Oh my glorious Goddess! Such amazing guides for this week – fuck yeah! So darling one, I invite you to embrace your sacred rage, don’t let it fester or make you run and hide. And as it slowly starts to ignite let it fuel your passion, purpose and clarity with a clear flame. Sending you big hugs and see you in a couple of weeks, as this coming weekend is a holiday in North America.

Mothering and the Blood Moon Eclipse.

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Marvelous, Magickal, Magnificent, Miraculous, Merry, Majestic, Manifesting Monday delicious lovely! How was Mother’s Day for you?

I realised yesterday that asking that question can be rather loaded as there are so many energies that float around that day, there’s:- love, frustration, loss, disconnect, yearning, joy, expectations, connection, being invisible – and so very many more.

It reminded me of years ago when I was in a lovely Kundalini yoga class and my most amazing mentor invited us to bring in our Mother, to feel that energy of safety, unconditional love and peace.

Well, I have to say that was not what happened for me by any stretch, instead it brought up loss, abandonment, grief and some very dark emotions which had me sobbing the whole way through class! (Gotta love how energy moves).

Afterwards I went up and shared with her my experience and she could really hear how that didn’t feel safe inviting that person in. So instead she invited me to bring in someone who represented that mothering energy instead – so the next time I happily brought in my Great Aunt, another Aunt and a lovely older female friend, amazing women who had “mothered” me and some still do. Which in turn created a totally different experience!

This also got me to pondering the Roe vs Wade issue that is happening in the US at the moment. (Ready for a soapbox moment?)

To be honest, I had never wanted children when I was younger. I wasn’t one of those young women who said “I want to get married, have kids etc.” Hell no!

So to ensure that didn’t happen I took every form of birth control known to humankind, in fact at one point they took the pill I was taking off the market due to heart issues. Condoms, spermicide, diaphragms, IUD’s, the pill – you name it, I took them.

As a woman, and a mother of 5 I have been pregnant 10 times.

I chose to terminate two pregnancies, with great conscious awareness and gratitude that this was available to me, though I will be honest – the first termination I was 19 years old and the doctor made it a living hell for me and lectured me from a place of judgement, patriarchy and disgust. I have miscarried 3 times. And I am also blessed with 5 amazing children, who I have learned a lot from, and they have helped me grow up.

But to be told that I could have no control over my body, my own choices, that I had to bear a child? I’m sorry, that is fucked in my books (and if that offends you let’s appreciate to differ shall we?)

Okay, I will step off my soapbox now, but whichever side you land on this argument. Please ponder it. Ponder it deeply. We all should have choice. We all should have a voice.

This coming weekend ( in fact on May 15th), we will have another eclipse.

This is a Blood Moon Eclipse in Scorpio – so what does that mean?

Eclipses are harbingers of change — they usher in evolution. At a lunar eclipse, the shadow of the Earth falls across the face of the Moon bringing unconscious feelings to the surface, grounding them in reality. Lunar eclipses are culminations of emotional cycles that have run their course, and they encourage us to let go of emotions and attachments that are no longer serving us.

All Eclipses activate our soul contract, bringing forward events that are necessary for the growth and evolution of our soul. Even though Eclipses can bring challenges our way, they always put us where we need to be.

As Forever shares:

“Under the May 2022, Blood Moon Eclipse, we are being guided to close the door on a chapter in our lives. This Eclipse represents endings, closure, and completion. Something needs to end, and this Eclipse is going to be the trigger.

As this Eclipse falls in the transformative sign of Scorpio, we may also find ourselves retreating within to shed layers and move into a deeper and more authentic state of being.

Scorpio is represented by the scorpion for its ability to transform itself and shed its skin. But Scorpio energy is also connected to the Phoenix too. The Phoenix has the ability, the strength, and the power to birth itself from ashes. From the ashes it rises into its true and highest form.”

Eclipses are brilliant illuminators, revealing a truth about a condition that you never in a million years knew existed. Once you are given the information, the news can act as a catalyst to a major decision or action you will take. Most often we are shocked or surprised by the information that comes to us, for the eclipse is one of the most dramatic tools the universe uses to get you to sit up, pay attention, and take action. Eclipses are always your friends, for they are there to help to protect you.

Always be grateful for the truth.

Hmmmm, I don’t know about you but I feel that as a collective we need to shed quite a few things. Don’t you?

Okay, enough chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading. The cards that were most adamant to come and guide this week are The Oracle of Shadows and Light. Now if these guides are new to you, let me introduce them (as that’s the polite thing to do), Wisdom for Misfits, Mystics, Seekers, and Wanderers. Bittersweet. Unheard. Unconventional. Rebellious. Cheeky…Whimsical…Invisible. They’re not the words you often hear associated with the spiritual world, are they? Nevertheless, some of the most spiritual beings who have ever lived are those who have been most at odds with what we call the mainstream. They do not fit in. They have had moments of despair. And they know being truthful, and being real, is one of the greatest strengths and spiritual paths of all! They ask you to step out from the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and to consult with an oracle that acknowledges your individuality and strange genius! How’s that for a warm welcome?

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to come to the forefront are Smoky Quartz – this is an amazing stone for grounding, leaving behind baggage and surrendering. Stone Canyon Jasper – is known as the ‘supreme nurturer’. It bestows a feeling of tranquillity and integrity, by providing warmth, nourishment, and protection. Amethyst – aids in healing and intense spiritual growth.

The flowers are lovely Bachelor Buttons and Poppy petals.

Let’s settle, yes? Just breathe nice and slow, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Allow your shoulders to gently drop and nestle along your spine, like gorgeous wings at rest. Breathe into the corners of your belly and down to your toes. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper to you, inviting you to “see” them.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a peek!

TWO KITTENS

This magickal being is holding tight to two beautiful cats; both of them offer her growth in her femininity, independence, and satisfaction on many levels. Both of them are very young, very tender. She feels nurturing and protective toward them both. “How can I put one down?” she asks, torn. She is being asked to choose between the two, to separate one thing from another, and she is shocked that she must make this choice. When this comes to you, tune in. Ask yourself, your body, what it wants to do. Make a decision. You can no longer go on at this point attempting to walk in two directions at once. And that which you most fear – causing pain – will not happen when you choose. Cats are about your independence, your ability to leap high and to make it through many tricky situations. Choose. Choose now.

So are you having trouble making an important decision? You can’t see which one to choose? Which way to go? Both seem equally good or equally flawed? Hmmmm. We have come to show you the difference between two choices. You know you can take only one road at this time, and you know you must trust that that which you leave behind – that which you are telling yourself you are abandoning – will be safe and cared for. You will make it through this choice without feeling agonies of guilt. You will. The Universe trusts you to make the right choice! Feel it – you can now choose between seemingly indivisible ways. There will be a solution to this impossible situation.

For now, put one thing down and choose the other, or no real growth can take place.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

You are changing the way you view yourself and speaking up and out. Others see you as an advocate for justice and fair play. You defend others by being who you are, simply by refusing to hide away or be fearful. By waking up every day, despite hardships, you are showing so many the way to live. You have made friends with your strength, and while people have mistaken you for a pushover, you know when the time comes that you are a strong person who cannot be stopped.

Like a wolf, you have fur and claws, and brothers and sisters who will help you if you only so much as call on their energy. But to find them, you must connect with the wolf within. It is time to travel on a new path, crossing a wood that seems empty and cold, but you will not be alone or as helpless as others seem to think you will be. You are not prey. You will have strong and unconventional allies. Like a wolf, you must be prepared to defend yourself, even if it means facing a fight. There is time to stand your ground and face the enemy. That time has come, brave one.

As little Red Riding Hood says – once I was hunted. I do no not hunt in return, but watch. And I am strong. I am myself, and I am proud of who I am. No one can harm me now that I have this knowledge, and with my mystic familiar – my lone wolf – by my side, I continue to walk my path. While I have lost some of my innocence, I have my life, my strength, my voice, my ability to stay myself no matter what others do or sy. I will no be a victim. I am not a victim. I am alive. And I will never give up.

THE FAERY BEE

A bee appearing in the beautiful natural world is a wonderful sign that true health is being restored to you. Bees speak of timeless wisdom – as in the ancient proverb “Ask the wild bee what the Druids know” – and are adept at creating shapes, patterns and, of course, honey, which provides food, sweetness, a natural antiseptic, and air-ionizing healthful wax, and can be made into med. It is also said that after completing the ritual of the labyrinth in ancient Crete, the priestesses of Ariadne offered the initiates honeycomb to celebrate and acknowledge that all their needs would be met from that time forth. Bee can symbolise abundance, but, most importantly, it symbolises that all you need is being provided – and love is sure to come.

You ask me where the honey is, where the sweetness of life, the ease of life is? You wonder where the casual health and robust days have gone, and where the bright flowers and the sunshine have vanished to? No one took these things from you. You denied yourself your own needs and pleasures. I am here at all times, yet you have turned away from the natural world. For you to bring back its sweetness, you must spend time with flowers, ones that blossom generously – flowers of the plant kingdom and flowers of the human kind.

You have spent too much time among the bare-branched ones, who have told you that you will never acquire the luxury of feeling safe and comforted, but I am here to share that living life sweetly is as simple for you now as being outside in the sunshine for a few moments every day. The flowers will bloom; the bees will come back; your joy and delight will return.

Wowzers! Choice, Speaking Up and giving yourself the gifts of delights! All super strong messages in this month of All About Balance. How did your card resonate for you? Well, delicious lovely, have a fabulous week, don’t forget the Blood Flower Moon Eclipse this weekend. Wishing you spring flowers, warm showers, ease, effortlessness and flow and most importantly peace and laughter. Huge hugs and squeezes, see you next week.
