Seasonal Living

Summer Solstice – Ignite Your Inner Flame – Your Internal Sun!

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Manifesting, Merry, Magnificent Monday!

Solstice is here in 2 days!!!!  And for all of those who have asked – YES!  There are a few spots open for the Solstice Reading Special (which ends on June 22nd), and YES!  The Solstice guides will be available until June 23rd.  

We have literally just had the Gemini New Moon -with Gemini ruling over communication, the New Moon in this sign emphasizes the importance of effective self-expression.

So with all that swirling around – Let me ask – how are you feeling?

Right now the Sun is at the height of its power. And so are you.

This month, with the sun at its height–its peak–your own corresponding, internal flame has the potential to also reach its peak.

Your own inner flame–your internal sun–represents your confidence, you drive, your ability to create & take action in the outer world. All these things are being affected by the outer sun; and all these things have the potential to reach new heights this month.  (Melded with your ability to express yourself and communicate.)

Think about it, in our Northern Hemisphere Summer Solstice is the longest day and the start of the heat of the summer.  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.

This energy invites you to lead from your heart, find your voice, to guide, to shine and share your heart, words, work and all sorts.  (Are you ready?)  If you need some ideas on how to be like the sun on Solstice, I have 5 of them for you.  

At the summer solstice, a doorway in time opens, which our ancestors viewed as sacred and holy. 

Litha (Summer Solstice)  is a grand portal of energy, space, and opportunity – a chance to let go of fears, doubts, and insecurities, a chance to dance with the Fae. 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. 

It’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. 

If you want to really tap into this potent energy, grab SASS (Stupendously Awesome Summer Solstice guide).   

OKay enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to ask which guides wanted to share Solstice with you, these glorious ones came to play, which made me grin.  Now, if these are new to you – please let me introduce them.  

These glorious guides give you needed glimpses into your everyday life and help you see where changes can be made to enhance your life here on Earth.  There is so much more to our world than we often perceive.

There exist many dimensions and numerous beings that reside in these realms.  All of these elemental beings are interconnected with us.  We do not live independent of one another but are interdependent.  These wonderful beings are here to help.

They not only take care of the Earth, but they work hard to take care of us.  We are familiar with many of these beings, such as angels, faeries, and elves.  There are many more we are not conscious of, but they, nevertheless, contribute to the workings of our planet.  Remember as you go through  your day, to ask for help from the elemental world whenever you need it.  The need is never too small to call on their help.  It is through helping us that they advance in their spiritual development.  We are their work.  We in turn can spiritually evolve through allowing them to help us.  To all these amazing beings we say Thank You.

Perfect!

Okay glorious one, take a breath.  Breathe in long and deep and just any shit go.  Breathe into the energy of the sun, the fiery, rich energy.  See the light of the sun filling you from the tips of your toes to the ends of your hair.  Allow it to warm you, fill you, nourish you and help you find your voice and passion.

If you need a wee bit more support, I have a lovely guided visualisation where we go for a wee meander and play.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that ignite your inner flame.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

ACORNS INVITATION

You are being invited to touch the world, to enter into a somatic relationship with the world around and within you.  To experience the vitality of the life force that exists in everything, including you, and including your body, with which you may have a conflicted relationship.

The faeries know that your body is a beautiful sacred expression of the spirit and an essential part of the self.

They teach that when we reach out and touch, not only do we connect with another, but we are touched in return.  Thus through the act of physical communion we are touched, held and nurtured.

It cannot be otherwise.

The impact of touch is so underestimated, but this faery man reminds you that without touch, you can become sad, depressed, unwell and your immune system weakens.

While you are alive in your current form, this faery wants you to know that you must touch and be touched to be whole.  Physicality is your friend.

Hug, hold hands, rub a back, get or give a massage, rub feet and connect.  

Allow a butterfly to alight on your finger.  Pat a dog.  Stroke a cat.  Look into someone’s eyes while you sit with knees touching.  For this touching is healing, and touch has the ability to uplift us, comfort us, soothe us, cure us, and make us vibrate with bliss.  

THE SECRET PATH

Faeries love country paths and wooded ways that twist and bend and take shape, but that are mysterious and very bright and dark, spooky and sweet all at the same time.  

Likewise, your own path must have both light and shade, and it is never straight!

Faeries walk their paths to revive the land, and they take rests at special trees and wells, as do you, in your own way, create magick when you are true to your path.  

You are being drawn down a path that has the potential to lead you to a rich source of wisdom – one danced and sang and dreamt down by these faeries you now see.  These faeries would have been spoken of in the old ways as “trooping” but here we would say they are following their path:  swiftly, joyfully, singing and dancing their way to a destination that will be full of riches and joy, profound learnings and deep initiations.

You are being beckoned again to rejoin your path, and perhaps your first steps will be to wander a little, to travel, and see where the lines of magick within the earth herself take you.  

Paint your body with a little of the earth, and let the earth on you sing to the earth beneath your feet, and soon the song will be alive in your blood again.  

You are also reminded by the faeries that you can walk your path, be dragged along your path, meander from your path, slow down on your path or dance and be joyful on your path.

How you walk it is empowered by your unique self’s intent, and as you already know, intent is the heart of many a matter.  

Take steps again to be on your path.

Reconnect with the song of the land that sings in your blood, and you too, like these beautiful beings, will be called home.  

STAR DUST

This beautiful faery seems somewhat unsettled.  She is listening, waiting, reaching out to the galactic web to try and put together pieces of the information she is receiving.

For she has experienced a premonition, but as these things go for us all, we are never entirely certain of what will happen, and when.  Only that something will happen, and soon.  

And so she reaches out to what we humans have called the heavens.  She looks to the cycles beyond those of this earth and wonders if we are all in the process of major change, a change so profound we have not yet found the words to describe it.  

She understands that the premonition she has is about cycles that reflect those on each, but she is unsure what to make of what she is feeling and sensing.  

So she looks to the night skies, at a time when there is peace, stillness, and quiet, and gazes up above at the lifeforms and planets and the stars and their galaxies, and knows she has lived beyond this dimension, and that what might be reaching her is significant far beyond her life, magickal as it is.

As she gazes up, there are baby stars and dying stars.  There is stardust, which is sent out by the dying stars, and breathed in by the nebulae and used to form their new star-selves. 

This is a true premonition.  It is not an empathic moment, where she feels the strange feelings and sensations of another.  She has had a postcard from the future, and from a place far beyond her home.  And so she waits and knows that while her premonition is as ephemeral as light as stardust, she knows too that it is powerful, and will create ripples throughout all time, and all places.  

It’s time for you to return to source and rewrite the soul contract so that you can change and move into a new stage of life, a new incarnation.  

In order to make sense of these feelings,  you may need to be alone and in the dark, dancing with the night sky to work something out.  

Seek connection in the night sky – when you can see other constellations and galaxies – and understand your own stardust self and origins.  

Allow the clues and messages to come, don’t worry about the clarity right now.

Yummers!  May you light your inner flame gorgeous one and use your voice, heart and soul to express your unique glorious self.  May the sun remind you of how strong you are and have a glorious Solstice!  Sunbeam kisses and big hugs.   

Equinox is Coming! And we say Goodbye to Winter!

Jenny Heston · 4:44 am ·

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

Whoot! Whoot!  March is here and I am thrilled (trust me if you could see the happy dance I am doing you would laugh).

I am thrilled because the wild daffs are out, there are carpets of vibrant crocus amongst the Garry Oaks, the forsythia is in full glorious bloom and this all means that Spring is coming!

Which it is!  Which heralds a new astrological cycle and Equinox!

A week today here in the Northern Hemisphere we have Spring Equinox (aka Ostara). 

I am celebrating by leading an in person circle, for the first time since moving here, a glorious Equinox circle in Creatrix Circle, and a circle for a wonderful colleague!

(So can you say – focused and wiggly excited!!)

Now you may be shaking your head and thinking – yeah, so what Jenn.  Oh little one, Spring Equinox is a huge energetic time as it’s the time of Birth.  The Birth of ideas, goals, desires, dreams and hope. 

It’s the time to plant seeds literally and figuratively. 

It’s a time of growth, hopefulness, lightness of being and spirit, and things that warm our innermost hearts as much as the glorious spring sunshine does the outdoor world. 

For myself my whole mind, body and soul responds to the seasons and I have found that when I allow that alignment with the cycles of nature as a practice it is exceptionally transformative. 

This is a huge part of the reason why I create the Magickal Manuals for the seasons and celebrations!  So currently there is the glorious Ostara Magickal Guide and the Mabon Magickal Manual.

Our bodies know, it’s built into our Ancestral memory and our DNA. 

There was a time when we were deeply connected to these rhythms, but, over time, technology and our modern culture has separated us from those celestial vibes and our own inner knowing.  (Think about it, when you are surrounded by 8 feet of snow in winter time, are you craving a salad?  I don’t believe so!)

However, before we barrel into celebrating Spring it’s important to recognise that the changing seasons are a meaningful time of reflection.  

And as much as we like to look forward (what will the new season bring? how do I want to grow & expand in the months ahead?), it’s equally important to look backward.

It’s important to look back on the chapter that’s ending, before a new one begins.

How can you truly integrate your experiences if you’re so eager to just move forward?

How can you integrate the lessons you learned from the things that challenged you, if you just keep facing forward – never pausing to reflect before jumping into the next new chapter of adventures & experiences??

This time at the end of winter is a liminal space: it might not fully feel like winter anymore, but it also doesn’t fully feel like spring. We’re in an in-between time, a time of transition. And it is the PERFECT time to look back on winter & reflect on the wisdom this season brought you.

And when you take the time to do this kind of meaningful reflection, you’re able to move forward into spring a bit wiser, a bit more evolved – and better prepared to truly embrace the powerful growth energy about to flood into your life.

Here are some really insightful, empowering questions to ask yourself here at the end of winter:

  • What inner wisdom did you gather on your journey inward this winter? What did you learn about yourself?
  • What challenged you this winter? Where have you felt uncomfortable or out of sorts?
  • What lessons did you learn? About yourself & about your life??
  • Where is it clear you are ready to grow?

Okay, I have chuntered on (which I tend to do when passionate about something that is life changing).  So let’s crack on with the reading.

This week we have lovely, delicious new guides who wanted to come play and they made me smile.  As they are the glorious guides of the “Herbal Astrology Oracle.”  So please, let me introduce you.  

As above, so below.  As within, so without.  Today, many of us seek to reclaim the sense of connectedness that existed universally in ancient cultures, when human fate was wholly entwined with nature.  

The world was seen as a symbiotic entity in which all living organisms interacted and supported each other, from the innermost cellular level to the outermost cosmological level.  An essential bridge is being rebuilt between humans and nature, allowing us to access the realm of the transcendent and the land of the luminous.   

Herbalism is the medicine of belonging, a gateway through which we keep alive a very sacred aspect to our source.  

Perfect guides as we move to Equinox!

There is a lovely guided visualisation to help you tap into the Spring Energy and really strengthen your intentions if you so choose.  

If not, just breathe.  Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth and allow yourself to settle in.  Then when you are ready see in your mind’s eye a glorious young green shoot.  This is your intention, your desire – invite it in and as you breathe into this gorgeous green being pick the card or cards that whisper to you.  

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

RUE

Protection

Rue is known as the “Herb of Grace” or the “Blessed Herb”.

In Spanish it is known as ruda, and in Greek, it is reuo, which means to “set free”.

Rue is considered a powerful and protective plant with a long and detailed historical use in both medicine and ceremonial rituals.  Early physicians considered Rue a vital remedy against plagues, pestilence, and poison.  

Rue is said to be the herb of angels, granting us the ability to channel the angelic realms.

It emanates golden energy, like a Lion, powerfully protecting and pouring in light into any space that it inhabits.  Resilient like the wide array of Solar herbs, it grows generously and abundantly, thriving in all kinds of terrain, demonstrating its strong life force and vitality.

Rue has come to remind you to protect your aura from lurking and unhealthy people, spirits or situations that might be consuming your energy.

Don’t allow parasitic negativity to darken your field, which can create perpetual states of self-criticism, self-doubt, or self-loathing.  

Call upon Rue’s power to shield your body with angelic forces and restore radiance, vitality, and love in your atmosphere.  

Rue is ruled by the Sun and Pluto.

TULSI

Wealth

The Tulsi Goddess sits proudly facing her beautiful Peacock, symbolising heaven on Earth.

She raises her arms with grace, aiming them like wands to catalyse magic and wealth.  

The fountain is centred between the Goddess and the Peacock, representing the wellspring created between Earth, the manifest world, and Heaven, the spirit world.  

Peacock embodies the medicine of auspiciousness, magic, and beauty, reminding us that we are the living gateway to the greatest of mysteries.

Tulsi has come to you today to teach you that the key to Jupiter’s doorway (abundance and wisdom) is to live, create, and communicate from a place of wonder, innocence, and impeccability (Mercury), rather than doubt or confusion.

Don’t be fooled by material possessions or the vanity often worshipped in the material world.

Tune into the deeper realities that abound around you; be spontaneous and celebrate your temple just as you are.

Tulsi, also known as Tulasi, is frequently mentioned as one of the main pillars of herbal medicine in ancient Ayurvedic texts, some dating back to as far as 5000 BC.

It is known as the “Incomparable One”, the “Queen of Herbs,” and the “Mother Medicine of Nature.”

With its ability to enhance cerebral circulation and memory, Tulsi greatly embodies the archetype of Mercury, the great communicator who governs our conscious mind, perception, understanding along with primarily the nervous system, and respiratory system.

PALO SANTO

Guardian

Palo Santo is a protective wand that grants us the power of unlocking innate gifts that have laid dormant, inactive, or blocked.

Palo Santo, like the Fox, is here to assist you as a spirit guide, who helps you navigate the spirit world.

The Sechuran Foxes, native to South America, nestle among the desert forest of Palo Santo for shelter, living in symbiosis with these precious trees.

Foxes are symbolic of the afterlife, invisibility, and the sacred trickster.

Palo Santo neutralises the venom of dark tricksters and alchemises its poison into gold; becoming the sacred trickster.  

Palo Santo is here to remind you to activate your dormant gifts.  

You are a guardian of the sacred that has walked many paths; know that you can neutralise the greatest poisons, back talk, smack talk and most certainly outwit the smartest of tricksters.  

Palo Santo’s medicinal qualities  are very Plutonic in nature, as it powerfully cleanses malignant energy, while being highly invocatory and perfect for strong intention setting.  

Palo Santo has a long history of use as a magic wand that unlocks innate gifts that have lain dormant, inactive, or blocked, like wisdom, intuition, and sight to see into the past and past lives.  

Wow, what glorious messages and guidance as we play with the building Spring Equinox energy!  By the way, thank you for all your lovely messages and shares, I soooo appreciate hearing how you are.  Remember to gift yourself one of the Magickal Manuals to embody this energy fully.  Sending you massive squeezes, warm sunbeams and a bouquet of bobbly daffodils.  See you next week! (Maybe lol).

Equinox and Libra New Moon (the only one this year).

Jenny Heston · 1:11 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Misty, Mellifluous, Magickal, Mysterious, Manifesting Monday!

Equinox is nearly here!  Equinox is nearly here! (Can you tell I love it?) 

September 22nd brings in the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.  For all you gorgeous beasts in the Southern Hemisphere it is Ostara.   And yes the new Mabon Magickal Manual for 2022 was released on Thursday (and thank you so much for all  your lovely emails sharing how you are enjoying it). And if you have no clue what I am talking about, just go check it out.  No pressure.  

There is also a lovely Ostara Magickal Manual for our gorgeous Southern Hemisphere friends.   

When I was out hiking on the weekend and the smell of woodsmoke wafted on the cool early morning breeze, it was the perfect reminder that we are transitioning from summer to fall.  And yes, I know many people love summer and I do enjoy it, but give me Fall and Spring any day!

The leaves will soon all be resplendent in the most delicious arrays of oranges, yellows, crimson reds and then will drop slowly to the ground to offer nutrition to the seeds that you will plant come Spring. 

I always use the change of seasons as an opportunity to pause and reflect.

It’s the perfect time to reflect on your life, your Self, and any growth & changes you’ve gone through over the year so far.

When we look closely at the energy present in each season & what’s happening in nature, we’re able to see the personal growth work the Earth is really supporting us in right now.

Because, nature WANTS us to grow and expand with ease and grace, and sometimes, like the trees we need to release and turn inwards.

When changes occur in nature, they resonate within our own spirit. Deep in our bones, in our DNA and in the whispers of memories we have forgotten.  There was a time when we were deeply connected to these rhythms, but, over time, technology and our modern culture has separated us from those celestial vibes. 

Aligning yourself with the cycles of nature as a practice can be exceptionally transformative.

Here is a simple, easy ritual that you can do on Mabon (Equinox).  Do you have apples in your house?  Good, why not take a moment and pause.    

I personally, am taking the day of Equinox off, going and playing, taking that moment to move into ritual and celebration as it is also my birthday!

On Saturday the 25th (whilst still in the Equinox energy of balance and gratitude), we welcome in the New Moon in Libra, which is the only New Moon this year in this sign.  The New Moon is all about a new cycle, and the Libra New Moon is all about finding ways to reestablish balance that has been lost. 

Finding a sense of balance allows us to deal with life’s issues smoothly, and helps us to discover the peaceful neutral point from which clarity, common sense, and cooperation come from.  It allows us to see where we are over giving and where we are resistant to receiving.  (Hmmmm, how many of us have done that?)

“The cosmic music that flows from this New Moon is sweet, harmonious, and aligned to help us vibrate with our true and highest Self.

Under the dark night of the New Moon, ask yourself, how and where is my energy best used? Where can I be of greatest service?”

If working with the moons is new to you, don’t fret.  You can explore New Moon energy here.  

Okay, enough chuntering on.  Let’s crack on with the reading, shall we?  

When I asked the guides which cards they wanted to use, they picked the glorious Foxfire guides.  Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them.  

Welcome to the Kitsune, the shapeshifters, the foxes and the magickal beings of immense and divine power, rich with Foxfire light.  They are here to help you.  They care, in their wily way, about interacting with us.  They wish to light your way with Foxfire.  They yearn to connect with you, to rekindle the sacred flame within you.  For you.  This is their promise to you.  

For you are like the ancient wanderer in the forest who has at some time been very kind, for no good reason, and at no small inconvenience to yourself.  And Kitsune have noticed this kindness, and so now they come to you, with their messages and their blessings, with the rice of abundance and the ancient flame with its power to bring us back to life.  

They wish for you to know the wisdom and the secrets and the powers that lie within you.  These are the grains of rice that will feed your soul with golden light, with Foxfire, whose origins are ancient, until you shine once more like the bright soul you are.  

Yummers!!!  What glorious guides to help you shine!

So dear heart, be here, just this moment.  Don’t worry about the other moments, they will or won’t happen.  Just breathe into this very moment.  Take a glorious deep breath in, and then a long sigh out through your mouth.  Let your shoulders drop, let your jaw relax and breathe again in the same way.  

I then invite you to see in your mind’s eye that place of balance, that place of neutrality, calm and ease.  What does it feel like for you?  What do  you have to release to come to that place?  What might you have to change to walk in that flow daily?  Breathe that all in.  Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that call to you.  

Did you remember to pick?

Come see gorgeous one.  

THE SENTINEL

Within the world you dwell in, a storm is brewing.  It is visible to many, so far, and most are completely unaware of its approach.  They no longer notice the fall and rise of the air about them, the tightening of the pressure, or the release of rain, for they dwell within their glass towers and longer feel a part of the elements and the dance between them.

But you do, Seeker, and you are aware that there is a force gathering.  What its outcome will be, how it will break, and what it will do are still mysteries, but you can prepare for this storm approaching.  Others will not listen.

Others will see you as “negative” or “odd”  when you inform them of what it is you are preparing for.  Regardless, prepare anyway.  Watch.  And take care of what it is you need to do.  This is nothing to be fearful of.  It is simply advanced knowledge of a storm – and storms can damage, or they can pass by overhead and clear the air.  

The Sentinel of the Skies, this dragon being, invites you now to see things from his magickal perspective – to go high above buildings and the everyday, and see the implications of the change that is coming.

Foresight is a gift and enables you to look out for those who will listen.  Know that when the storm passes – for they all will – you will be standing strong and able to help others, if necessary and continue with your life.  You are being watched over – the Sentinel will stand with you, always.

BRINGER OF CHANGE

You are not as they expected you to be, are you, dear one?  They thought you would be one who was more like themselves, who would be a part of the predesigned patterns and the wave after wave of people who keep the world travelling in the same direction.

But you, friend, were different.  It was not intentional, nor was it a reaction – it simply was that something new was born into the world when you were brought forth.  So now you are releasing the special light and qualities that only you can bring to this planet.  And you will find that there are others like you.  Beautiful souls who seem at times to not belong and who are sometimes rejected.

Yet, part of your creation, and part of your soul’s journey, is not to come here to be a part of what already existed.  It was to come here to change what already was.  And now you are at the moment where you will show who you are, all of it, without shame or fear.  

You will no longer fear rejections or scorn or even the fear of disappointing those you love.  You, all of you, are here to give to the world something that is needed, to offer it medicine, so that we all, human, animal, winged ones, all beings are released into the freedom to be who they came here to be.  

You are flying free, now, and in turn, you will free others.  So, bring to us your own unique vision and energies and experiences, and teach us how to become who we are all meant to be.  

BENEATH THE SURFACE

There is much within the world that can be misread when we look upon the surface.  When we see with over-accustomed eyes the world around us, we cannot truly “see” what is there.  We need experience and depth and perceptive attention when we seek to truly know something.

Go beneath the surface, which this beautiful mermaid is preparing to do.  It can be easy to glide above and to avoid the depths or to fail to see the true power of something.  Because we look upon the ocean and see its calm, we can underestimate its strength.  And this is what you are being asked to do – do not go lightly into deep emotional waters, but know their strength and life-changing power by diving beneath the surface.  Know that as you go deep, you will encounter currents and the power of the ocean – the emotional world – above you.  But it is not the time to stay on the surface.

So many others feel this is adequate – and their lives are in many ways satisfactory.  But to know the true potential of yourself and of your life, you will need to take a deep breath and dive deep.

There is no need for fear or for panic – remain calm, no matter how challenging it can seem to be beneath the world in which others seem too content to live.

This life is not for you, friend, and nor are the ailments and personal stuning of growth that others experience, over and over, because they never found a way to go beneath the apparent nature of reality and go deep within.  Know you are seeing the truth about your own soul.  Explore the hidden depths of life.  That is a reward worth the risk.  

Wowzer, some delicious energy and guidance there!  So gorgeous one take some time this week to think about what areas of your life need a bit more balance, use the energy of this incredible Equinox to do some reviewing and releasing and play!  Grab your Mabon Magickal Manual and enjoy the crispness, the smells, the beginning of the leaves changing and there will be no reading next week as I plan on celebrating all weekend!   Have a fabulous next couple of weeks and huge hugs and squeezes!

Mabon Apple Magick!

Jenny Heston · 4:22 pm ·

The autumn equinox is a powerful time to cultivate balance, and as it is the second harvest before the fallow period of winter, it is an especially potent time to balance what we take in or harvest versus what we release. 

What you will need:

Your Intention.
An apple.

Slice an apple in half (not through the stem end) to reveal the five-pointed star inside, a powerful symbol of balance among the elements. 

Choose one half to represent what you wish to harvest; the other half will represent what you wish to release.

Hold the releasing half of the apple in your hands and bring to mind the situations, thoughts, etc., that no longer serve you. 

Send them into the apple, then compost or bury it, giving thanks for this process of release. 

Hold the other half while you bring to mind all that you wish to welcome into your life, sending it into the apple. Then eat the apple, giving thanks for this bountiful harvest.

Super easy, super powerful if your intention is there, and fun to do with kids!

What is a Full Moon Ritual and How to Create Your Very Own.

Jenny Heston · 5:55 am ·

The most important thing you need to know about the power of the full moon ritual is that it utilises four essential elements of any transformative spiritual practice: willpower, intention, symbolism, and ritual. 

These four elements have a truly electric and intense impact on the unconscious mind. The whole point of a full moon ritual is to generate deep change within the nether regions of your mind, aka your unconscious.

The unconscious mind is the realm of potential, the space in which your soul emerges, and the doorway to Spirit (or the Collective Unconscious). By doing a full moon ritual, you are stepping into your personal power and actively petitioning and preparing your unconscious mind for transformation. 

In other words, there is so much more to full moon rituals than pretty candles or crystals – it’s ultimate purpose is genuine spiritual and psychological change.

Now with all that being said, if “creating a Full Moon ritual” feels too much, or you have no interest in doing one.  Then don’t.  

The world will not come tumbling to an end because you didn’t, nobody is going to knock on your door and ask to see your Moon Journal…….

However, I do encourage you to try working with Moon energy (New and Full) for at least 4 months.  What have you got to lose?

As you will often hear me saying – it has to resonate for you and your intention for your ritual is EVERYTHING!

How to Create Your Own Full Moon Ritual.

Okay, you’ve come this far and have decided okay maybe I want to test out this Full Moon thing.  After all, if the Moon can move the tides which are water and me being human is composed mainly of water….  Let’s give it a shot.  

Fabulous!

Let me give you the nitty gritty basics.  A Full Moon Ritual consists of 4 main parts. 

Eye of bat, tongue of newt, the tailfeather of a hawk and a glob of spit!  (I am so joking here!!)

The best thing about making your own 100% tailored-to-you full moon ritual is that it works around your needs, daily schedule, interests, and the current objects you have on hand.

You don’t need to go out and buy a load of metaphysical paraphernalia to enact a powerful full moon ritual nor do you need to make it Instagram-worthy. 

What you do need to do is:

1. Checking when the Full Moon is. 

You can use a Full Moon app, Google, or whatever.  Ask yourself if you want to work with the Moon astrologically (in otherwords what sign it’s in), seasonally, or just as she comes.  

2. Think about what you would like amplified or illuminated within you.

Are there problems that are niggling away at you? What shadows need to come to light? What archetypes would you like to embody? What do you need to let go of? What skills or inner resources do you need to draw on? Reflect on these questions or journal about them.  What are your desired outcomes? What is the reason behind your full moon ritual? 

3. Shape your Intention

Once you have completed the previous step (which hopefully won’t take too long), it’s time to set an intention which basically means a goal or objective. 

What do you want to achieve? What will be the purpose of your full moon ritual? Write out your full moon intention in your journal or a piece of paper that you can keep and reflect on.  This is why in the New Moon piece I recommend having a Moon journal.  As then you are able to reflect and see the progress and changes you have experienced, that you may have forgotten.  

4. Prepare some symbolic objects

Whether on the day/night of the full moon or beforehand, select some symbolic objects that could represent your issue, desire, yourself as a whole, your current place in life, what you need to let go of, your strengths, weaknesses, what needs to be illuminated … you get the picture. 

Basically, choose any object currently in your house that represents the part of you or your situation that needs to be amplified or illuminated. 

Examples of symbolic objects could include rocks, feathers, flowers, dolls, crystals, cards, figurines, herbs, stamps, old jewellery – literally anything that you feel represents your issue or desire accurately.

And if you don’t have any around you, don’t worry, grab a candle, your favourite crystal or whatever you would like to have with you.

5. Create a Sacred Space for yourself and give it a Cleanse.

Create a space specifically to your ritual that is undisturbed. 

You may already have an altar somewhere in your house, and if so, that is perfect. If you don’t find a place in your home, garden, the woods that feels right for you.  Remember ritual doesn’t have to go on for hours, it can be 10 – 15 minutes long.  

When you have your space give it a nice cleanse.  You can use smudge, incense, singing bowls, hand clapping to clear out the energetic debris.  Whatever you choose, it’s important that your unconscious mind symbolically registers that the space you’re preparing is sacred and important.

This is time for you and the Moon.

6. Perform your Full Moon ritual

You don’t need to spend hours doing an elaborate ritual. Even just a couple of minutes can be enough to create and evoke a strong message within your unconscious mind.

With your symbolic objects at hand, arrange them in a way that feels powerful to you. 

You could arrange them according to your desires, e.g. you could place two symbolic objects together symbolising a union. 

You could arrange your objects according to a symbol, e.g. a circle representing wholeness or completing. 

You could burn one of the objects or submerge it in a bowl of water representing letting go. (I’m a huge fan of burning things!)

You could place an object on your body and symbolically ‘breathe’ it in. 

You could consume one of the objects (if it’s edible and non-toxic) to symbolise empowerment, strength, and renewal.  This is your ritual and there are no rules!  

7. Symbolically close your ritual

No matter how you choose to design your ritual, always symbolically close/end it. 

Your unconscious mind needs to understand that the ritual is over (think of closing your ritual as hitting the “send” button). 

Leaving the ritual open without intentionally closing it sends confusing signals to your unconscious mind. 

Closing your ritual is simple. Once again, close it however you intuitively feel is the right way. Examples may include ringing a bell, saying a prayer of thanks, chanting,  saying a phrase like “so may it be,” and so forth.

The important thing is there is no perfect right way to create a Full Moon ritual (and if anyone tells you that, please run!).  Your intention, attention and time are the most important pieces.  

Remember where your intention goes, your energy flows and so calling on the Moon energy to amplify and support you is delicious (and most certainly start keeping a Moon journal!)

Let’s see what the Harvest Moon ritual looks like.

Happy Friday the 13th! Long before the patriarcha Happy Friday the 13th!

Long before the patriarchal superstition came into play that Friday the 13th was unlucky…….

It was celebrated as the day of the Goddess. The Divine Feminine. 

A celebration that is still delighted in by witch women, wise women and  wild women. 

So come celebrate  and do something that would have got you burned at the stake years ago!

🌕 Happy Full Moon!!! She’s turning up the h 🌕 Happy Full Moon!!! 

She’s turning up the heat on your truth, your power, and the stories that no longer fit who you’re becoming.

She’s roaring with clarity… melting the old patterns and clearing the path for something wildly new within you.

If you’ve been feeling the shift in your body and in your soul, you’re not imagining it.

Something deeper is awakening. And it’s asking for your next-level embodiment.

Let’s walk into the new together — with fire, truth, and a whole lot of freedom.

BIG Full Moon blessings and love to you.

Ready to open the portal? This isn’t just a mo Ready to open the portal? 

This isn’t just a moon — it’s a timeline checkpoint.

The last time it rose this low in the sky, your life looked completely different.
The next time will be 2043.
Use it.

This is a power moon for identity shifts, alignment activations, and jumping into the version of you that you are meant to be. 

You don’t need a ritual.

You need to remember who you are.

This Full Moon in Sagittarius is pointing the arrow to where you are meant to move towards.

Are you willing?

One year today at 1:13 pm my Mum took her last bre One year today at 1:13 pm my Mum took her last breath. 

The game that she always wanted to play with everyone was Boggle, as she loved words. 

She would often cheat and try to plausibly pass off a word. 

Thus, one of the ways I’ve honoured her today on the first deathaversary was to make hourglasses filled with some of her ashes and glitter. 

One for each of the grandchildren so she can always participate in games. 

Remember that the only guarantee you have is today. 

So please love like a mother trucker, apologise, do the things you want to and celebrate every breath.

As we mov toward the peak of the year - the vibrant, radiant energy of the Summer Solstice - there’s a powerful moment of pause available to us. 

The Solstice asks us to stop, to witness ourselves, and to honour the journey we’ve walked so far this year. 

Ready to come play?

It conjures about that Magickal feeling for me of openness, fairies and wonder.

I don’t worry so much about people “liking or I don’t worry so much about people “liking or approving” of me. 

But if I met a doggo that didn’t like me that would pull me up short!

My doggos like most people, but when they don’t, I pay attention as they sense things I don’t.
