March is Here, Spring Equinox is coming, White Rabbits, and it’s a time for Discernment – Wowzer!

Happy, Happy Magickal, Marvelous, 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 your soxs off).

Why am I so pumped about March – because Spring Equinox is almost here!!! 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 and dreams – it is positively delicious and in honour of this time since Yule I have been working on two glorious offerings for you to really make this year so deliciously different, powerful, full of glorious magick and manifestation and really supporting and empowering you. But more on that soon. If you want to be kept up to date on what is transpiring and all the changes that are coming from this end do make sure you are part of our glorious email community.

On Saturday I really felt I needed a “reset” energetically, mentally, physically and spiritually so I grabbed a glorious friend and we went and hiked, forest bathed and explored a glorious new beach, waterfalls and had a wicnic! Ahhhh, I could feel the tendrils of “shoulds” melt away amidst the old moss covered trees, the “I can’t energy” drop into the moss, and any “judgements of self or others” get washed down the waterfall and offered to the sea. By the time I got home I was refreshed, rejuvenated, reset and replenished and also physically bagged so I tucked myself up in bed earlyish with a glorious witchy book.

Thus, yesterday morning the minute my eyes opened at 6am I started hollering White Rabbits! The poor dog bolted up and looked at me with confusion lol. However, I have been saying White Rabbits on the first of March ever since I was wee, but why, where did it come from? When I first asked that question of myself, my response was, because my Great Aunties told me to!

However, I did a little digging as to where the saying comes from and actually saying White Rabbits on the first of March (and apparently for most months) brings great luck. In fact, “White rabbits, white rabbits’ was written in the ‘Notes and Queries’ book from 1909.The word must be spoken aloud, and be the first word said in the month to bring great luck. It also was a common belief among RAF bomber aircrew during WW2 that saying “white rabbits” the very first thing upon waking would protect oneself.” Don’t you just love finding out where traditions have come from? I do.

With March coming in like a lamb (at least it certainly did here) the Energy has shifted. If you remember in January the shamanic energetic theme was IF NOT NOW, WHEN? February, the was MANAGEMENT and for March………drum roll please. The theme we are being invited to play with and embrace is DISCERNMENT. Now what does this mean?

The best person to explain it is Lena: “What is discernment? Discernment is the ability to use good judgment regarding choices, decisions, boundaries, actions, intentions, ideas, commitments, other people, your intuition, thoughts, emotions, and self-reflection.

Good judgment comes from self-observation and deep reflection on what is your truth as opposed to what others want or think. March is a month to examine the motivation behind all your actions, reactions, intentions, habits and patterns. Discernment is refining how you manage what is on your plate by setting boundaries around what you wish to keep as well as what you have cut loose, always from a place of pro-action instead of reaction.” You can read more of what the amazing Lena has to share here.

Now this is interesting as within many religious formats we are in the time of Lent, so where are we being discerning in these 40 days? Is it with the food we put in our bodies, the way we use our time, how we use our smartphones, our self care (or lack of it) and a myriad of other things. So there’s something to perk for you delicious one.

Okay, enough chuntering on let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to come support and guide this week I was intrigued to see The Isis Oracle were adamant.

Have you ever asked who Isis is? Goddess of the Skies, Magick and Wisdom are just a few of the titles she is given. Let me take a moment to introduce you to this lovely deck – “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening. Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world. When a Soul is growing in power and strength, it can benefit from guidance to help make the path into a new way of being in the world that much easier. Isis offers Her wisdom and guidance to you to assist you at this time of spiritual growth and transition. She loves you, and wants you to shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.” The perfect guides for this glorious energetic time.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are like gorgeous little robin eggs! I clapped my hands in delight when I saw who wanted to come play. The ones that wanted to show and shine are:- Chrysocolla, Sodalite, Blood Stone.

Okay, roll your shoulders up back and down and just gently settle for a few minutes. Allow your breathing to gently slow itself down and as you wiggle and move your rib cage, feel your arse bones either sitting on a seat, or pointed down to the earth. I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a waterfall, strong, soothing and welcoming you to release any “sticky” bits into the water. If you need a bit more support with dropping into this I have a glorious guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a lookie loo?

SPIRIT OF ISIS

Triumph of the Goddess

Beloved Initiate, there are times to surrender and let go, but there are never times to give up! Persist with your bold faith and inspired action until the impossible happens. Isis has the spirit of triumph and will never fail in Her quest no matter how bold or impossible it seems. Believe.

It is helpful on the inner path to let go and detach over and over again and yet we need to stay true to our heart and not give up on what we feel we are here to do. Whether it is reaching for enlightenment, for inner peace, for a creative breakthrough or personal healing, the triumph of the Goddess is with you now uring you not to give up, no matter how far away or impossible success may seem to be. Don’t quit! Persist until the impossible happens!

You are being reminded that you can surrender, let go of attachment as to how everything will happen or what it will look like, even if it is frustrating to surrender the vision into the Divine Fires yet again, waiting until you feel it naturally coming together according to Divine Timing.

The Spirit of Isis is willing to wait until Divine Forces collide and the miracle occurs. Remember, beloved Initiate, that the forces of growth, love and divinity are in your corner. There is nothing more powerful than these. Allow them to have their way and you will have yours. Your win is assured.

GODDESS OF 10,000 NAMES

Isis – Endless Emanations of the Priestess

Isis with many names, forms, associations and expressions is referred to as the Goddess of Ten Thousand Names. A name holds power. It defines and energises or limits. The names, faces, and roles that you play are just one part of your being, yet you exist beyond them, beloved Initiate, as a vast being.

You are currently realising that you are not limited by previous identities you held. Instead you are becoming more of your whole Self. Enjoy the uncovering of even more of you!

Just like the Lady Isis, you are a multi-faceted, multi-dimensional being. It is most helpful at this phase in your path that you learn not to attach to roles or identities that may have once held great importance for you or others relating to you. It does not mean that you must cease to relate to that name or role, more that you are realising it is only a part of you and there is even more of you wishing to express itself now.

It can be tricky to avoid getting stuck in roles that others prescribe for you or expect of you, and yet your self-definition will become wider and your experience of yourself will be more real and fulfilling if you are open to discovering more of you, beyond the person you have considered yourself to be up until now. This can be exhilarating and terrifying! However, there is a new, more whole, fulfilling and truthful sense of identity awaiting you. Any fear or struggle that you go through to allow this to happen, beloved, will be spiritually repaid to you multiplied, in so many ways.

There is nothing to lose except old limitations and so much wonder and joy to be gained!

DIVINE SISTERHOOD

Community of the Spiritual Sisters and Brothers of the Light

In community that is based in equality, respect, healthy boundaries and personal freedom, with a mutual desire for spiritual growth and honouring of innate wisdom, great miracles occur. You are part of this community of light. At one time it existed only in the spiritual worlds, yet now it is being born on the Earth. It is part of your destiny to help create and nurture a conscious community that empowers all of its members and is based in truth.

You are guided to allow the Beloved Isis to help you now through community. There can be strength in numbers. Community can help you gain the added power of group effort to rise above the old patterns and lift each other into the new patterns that are so much more real and beautiful. In unity with the Divine in each other, we grow and become capable of such wonders!

You are wise and grounded enough within yourself not to lose yourself in a group, and instead to help a group become a community of honouring individuals. Your leadership by example is important as groups can sometimes descend to the lowest energetic vibration if the members fall into their egos rather than staying in their hearts.

If you have found that you have guidance to build community yourself, and are feeling a little overwhelmed at the thought, stay calm and stay in heart. Allow yourself to collaborate with others, and work in smaller groups in connection with each other as a way to build community together. It will happen naturally. The Divine Sisterhood will guide you if you ask for their assistance with unconditional love.

Wow, what glorious messages and guidance as we enter this amazing March month and play with the building Spring Equinox energy and Discernment! By the way, thank you for all your lovely messages and shares, I soooo appreciate hearing how you are. Someone emailed me last week asking how they could get a deeper reading, super easy and there is a selection of private readings for you. Remember, if you want to find out what is going to be shared over the next few weeks, make sure you are part of our email community. Sending you massive squeezes, warm sunbeams and a bouquet of bobbly daffodils. See you next week!

Yup, Mercury is Retrograde and with November – the Energy has Shifted! Buckle up Baby, We’re Going Deep!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Miraculous, Misty, Magickal, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday delicious lovely! How was your Samhain/Halloween? I will confess, I was left unsupervised with a box of those cute little mini aero bars and kit kats – what can I say? I blame it on not enough Trick or Treaters! Yup, there was only half a box left and I did feel rather sick! (But they were sooo cute and delicious!) However, I did take the time to make an offering to my Ancestors and to walk with the thin veil, it was amazing.

Okay, let’s get down to the Nitty Gritty. Mercury Retrograde and Energy Shift.

Now I know some of you the minute you hear the words “Mercury Retrograde” want to run and hide under a blankie in the closet. Totally get it. Personally it impacted me the minute it shifted by reading submissions not coming through, laptops acting up and my cell phone freezing at the most inopportune moments. Sigh. Breathe, Woosah!

So as we know Mercury is the planet of communication, mentality, thinking patterns, rationality and reasoning, and adaptability and variability. So yes we can sometimes get a tad lost and a bit like Chicken Little running around saying “Mercury is retrograde, Mercury is retrograde!”

But I love what Chani shares about Mercury retrograde:- “Mercury’s retrograde is as much of an underworld journey as Samhain. Traditionally known as a psychopomp, Mercury ushers us into the liminal space between the past and present, reason and intuition, the material and spiritual. Traditionally, a psychopomp is a spirit guide that helps souls transition from the living world to the afterlife. A spirit that guides us on our journey from the known to the unknown, Mercury helps to bridge to gap between the conscious mind to the unconscious realms.

In Scorpio, this Mercury retrograde runs deep, the pieces of the past that this transit is sure to exhume will be startling, but necessary. Because Mercury’s retrograde also asks us to reflect on the past, retrieving aspects of ourselves and the energy that got stuck there, there is a double emphasis on connecting the present to our roots. Helping us unlock our minds from the this/that, here/there paradigms we get stuck in, this Mercury retrograde is able to help us connect with an ancestor, an aspect of self, or an email long-lost in our inbox. Whatever it brings back to you, this Mercury retrograde is sure to resurface the perfect piece of information at exactly the right time.”

So are you willing to play with that exploration?

Okay, so we have unpacked this Mercury Retrograde, now let’s unpack the Energy Shift – whoot! Whoot! Now if you remember this is the Shamanic look at the energy for the month, so for example September was – Commitment, October was – Re-Writing the Story and now for November (drum roll please……………..) The Energy is inviting you to look and work with Proactive Change! So what the heck does that mean you might be asking? Fair enough, please let Lena explain it:- “The focus is on how we can show up from a place of inner choice that is ours alone and free of outside influences, pressures and imprinting.

It is indeed a time to stop complaining about how difficult and challenging the last few weeks have been, and get a bit ruthless about what you intend to change. This is not a passive time. Even the climate that promotes self-observation and emotional reset is an active one as it demands a choice and a direction at the end. Being proactive means choosing change, choosing to say yes or no, choosing to receive, choosing your attitude for the day, choosing acceptance of what is not yours to change, and choosing to be creative and expressive from something inside of you, your unique and personal signature, instead of an outside influence or pressure.

One of the enemies of proactive change is procrastination. When you procrastinate you do so out of resistance to being proactive. The more you procrastinate the more vulnerable you are to the passive state that allows for a less than desirable outcome. So, if you are procrastinating a task, a communication or a decision, don’t wait. Do it now or release it for good.”…….

To read more you can find it here.

So let’s look at this as a package. We have had Samhain which is celebrating our ancestors, looking back and asking for help. On that exact day Mercury went retrograde and invited us to do our inner work and now we have the invitation to really be Proactive about the Change that we want to create and manifest in our lives. (Are you paying attention?????)

For me, personally, this time between Samhain and Winter Solstice is an introspective time, a sorting/sifting time, a time to really do the work and snuggle up as the days get shorter and the weather gets colder. A time to unpack and release the dross that no longer serves and to create a space for something new and nourishing. Are you willing to play with it? Yes, this is deep work, yes there are soooooo many distractions that look far more sparkly, shiny and interesting. But what if you gave yourself 20 minutes a day to do something quiet, deep, introspective, how would that feel? If you do the math between now and Winter Solstice you would have made space and time for 17 hours of deep introspective, exploratory, discovery time! Wowzer! Talk about Proactive Change!

Just saying…..

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on – you have enough to perk and play with for the moment!

When I asked the cards who wanted to be your guides this week the glorious Isis Oracle were adamant to come and be front and centre. This is quite interesting as normally Isis doesn’t participate in “public readings”. It’s also rather ironic based on what we have just been exploring.

The crystals that wiggled and woggled to come and support are:- Blue Apatite – Increase your appetite for life! This lovely crystal helps to clear away the fog because it reminds us that what lies before and behind are of little consequence. It’s the energy that lies within that holds the key to eternal happiness. Emerald – help you open the heart to receive love in all aspects of life. The emerald meaning encourages you to give love to others as well as receive their love, enhance your own self-love and strengthen your connection with divine love. And last but not least, Peacock Ore – surrounds you with light to inspire positivity. It is a stone of creativity, innovation and blessings that helps to increase creative energies and stimulate new ideas.

There are also some heavenly scented flowers that are blooming on a gorgeous unknown to me tree!

Ready? I invite you to just BE for a few moments, just BE and BREATHE. Wiggle your fingers and toes, look at your hands and bring yourself to this moment, this present moment. As you breathe let the image of a warm, dark, cosy space flood up in your mind’s eye. In this space you nurture yourself, you are held, you are safe. In this space you can connect with something bigger than yourself and proactively make amazing changes in your life. Breathe that in; let it just float with no attachment to it. With this floating inside you allow it to pick the card or cards that want to share with you this week. So it is.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s see what guidance Isis would like to share shall we?

MAGICK AND RITUAL

Effect in the external world can be created through inner practice. Magick and Ritual can support your Divine Path now in the physical world and you are encouraged to enhance your power with regular practice. The results that you experience will encourage you to continue with the practice as you grow in power, grace, love, ability and wisdom, and apply your inner beauty to transform your outer world.

For us to grow empowered and potent on the Path of Ancient Feminine Power we need to honour our knowing and being and cultivate sacred practice. Sacred practice become the habit of growing our spiritual power and consciousness. Like a garden needing regular care and watering to blossom and flourish, our inner garden of the Soul, where our creativity, joy, spiritual gifts and bliss bubble away, also needs regular attention. Coming to our practice takes strength and inner will – even though it can feel amazing, we still have to wake up, set aside time and discipline ourselves to show up for our own inner growth. We will reap the benefits when we do, but we must allow ourselves to fall in love with our practice, to craft something that really speaks to us, so that we want to do it. The desire and the discipline together help us engage with our practice regularly and we can grow so fast it can be quite shocking!

You have great power and wisdom within you, but you need to provide channels for it to flow and be active and empowered in your physical life. Sacred Practice is such a channel. Without these channels, the ego is left to create on its own which is not much fun at all! The ego believes in fear and separation and no matter how much it may want to feel love, bliss, connection, joy and fulfilment, it really cannot do it without your spiritual presence in life. Ritual and Magick, as a form of sacred practice, are recommended for you as a way to bring more spiritual presence into your waking life, to heal and support the ego as you learn to create a life that feels better and brings you and others more fulfilment.

PORTAL OF LIGHT

It is only this physical reality that is bound by time and space. You are a being conscious on levels beyond the physical world. You are guided to work with your healing powers beyond the confines of time and space and to allow your sense of Self to expand. It is safe for you to do this now. You will not become ungrounded through such spiritual growth. You are not leaving your earthly awareness, you are instead adding to it.

You are growing in power and awareness. You have had breakthrough insights where you realise that you are not who you thought you were, you are in fact a much vaster being. Sometimes this was shocking and uncomfortable, and difficult to accept. At other times it was gentle and made much sense to you. You are learning to integrate this awareness of your vast Self into your life. The practical consequences of doing so are extraordinary – to live with less and less fear and insecurity, to become more detached and more passionate, more loving and less demanding, to need less and receive more, to feel more joy and exert less force to attain it…..Such wonderful gifts await you!

Isis guides you to powers and abilities to heal that are beyond time and space. It starts with the realisation that what has happened in the past has power over you only to the extent that you allow it. The portal of light is being opened to you now to travel through time and space to release the past, to open up to a future bright and to call for more power in the present moment.

ANCIENT POWER MYSTERIES

The Rattle of Isis, the Sistrum, is playing in the hand of the goddess now. Can you sense it with your inner hearing? Its vibration reaches through your crown chakra and enters your body, initiating you into great ancient power mysteries of sound, creativity and healing. This is a time when words and music will become increasingly important on your spiritual path and healing journey.

When the Lady Isis initiates a beloved into Her Ancient Mysteries, life can become quite interesting! An Initiate of Isis does not just learn new ideas as a student, but is thrown into the experience of the mysteries in real day-to-day living so that they may be truly mastered in our lives and then utilised in service to help the lives of others too, so that one day, all beings will be healed and whole, according to the will of the Divine Feminine.

The Rattle of Isis initiates us into the mysteries of sound healing and creation through vibration. If we listen carefully with our inner ear, we can hear the sounds of the Universe alive. Remember, just as your body may naturally wish to dance when you hear a wonderful piece of music with your physical ears, so too when the inner ear of the Soul hears the cosmic tune of the Divine Mother urging growth, healing and greater joy, the Soul wishes to move and our lives change! Trust in the flow, work with your words to bring yourself into alignment with your Soul, remembering that the Soul resonates with love, bliss, abundance, peace, joy and connection with all that is. Focus on these kinds of energies and your words will help you align with your Soul and genuinely feel the peace beneath the changes you are experiencing in your life.

Have I said I love what I do? I love my guides, I love the cards, I love you. I love what I do! The cards that speak to this energy and invite you to go deeper in this cocoon, the crystals to support that. Wowzer! (Seriously I am grinning like a maniac – it’s not very attractive lol). Okay delicious lovely, a brief heads up. There will be no reading next week as it is Remembrance Day here, and I most certainly honour the people who had the passion to stand up and make a difference so that I can live in safety, in a democracy, in peace. I hope you have a glorious week, take time to go inward (it is quite delicious) and nourish yourself. Do something everyday that lights you up! Huge hugs and squeezes and see you in 2 weeks.
