Solstice Special

Faeries, Whales and Intention.

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy, happy Magickal, Miraculous, Magnificent, Musical, Majestic, Mighty Monday!  How was your Solstice and Eclipse?  Mine was Miraculous! (Ha, I slid another M in there).  I basically spent the majority of the weekend doing deep visualisations, huge energy work, glorious ritual and some spell casting.  With the chant Om Namo Narayani (I surrender to the Divine Mother), playing in the background along with the delicious Jason Mraz song – Wise Woman.  

Before I share with you, let me ask a question. Do you believe in MAGICK? (You will see why I asked in a moment).

On Saturday I made a glorious Faery dance circle out of orange and yellow flowers on the beach (close enough so that when high tide came in they would gently be washed out to sea as an offering).  And as I was placing the flowers with mindfulness I looked up for a moment and was gifted not one, not two, but THREE WHALES!  Two adults and a baby swimming between them.  I was in awe!  They are so majestic and exude a strong energy of wisdom, deep diving and peace, and I watched them undulate up and down, blowing water up and out – it was magickal.  

After they had left I turned back to my faery circle and was placing flowers gently (as some of them were rather wee), when I heard this strange noise behind me.  I glanced over my shoulder to see what it was and was gobsmacked!  A huge otter had come out of the ocean and was sitting about 2 feet away from me watching!  Um, err, what?  So all I could think of doing was offering him/her a dried sardine (as I always carry them with me by the ocean).  He grabbed it off the rocks and disappeared back into the water.  Thank goodness Danu was way down the beach trying to steal some other dogs ball, or that could have been tricky as otters can be fierce!

That night, after a lovely candle ritual in the dark, I got out one of my antique teacups and poured some good white wine into it and grabbed some biccies I had made and took them out to place next to the driftwood tree, I had put up at Winter Solstice, in the middle of my garden – as an offering to the Fae.

Sunday morning when I went to take Danu out the teacup was neatly sitting by the bottom of my stairs.  WTF?  Empty and tidy.  I noticed one of the biccies was gone and the other one had wee little bites taken out of it.  Um.  An animal wouldn’t have neatly placed the teacup by my stairs nor have left a biccie, and no human could have walked into the garden (as it’s built in a spiral) without Danu hearing.  Way cool!

So my darlings there is magick in you, around you and everywhere – if you just look for it and welcome it in! 

Okay, many of you have messaged saying “Do I still have time to set intentions and do ritual or did it all have to be done on the weekend?”  

You most certainly do!  

The window is open for about 5 – 6 days so grab that energy, use it as with this last eclipse we are very much at a new dawn, a new day, a new way!  So yes, grab the Book of Summer Solstice (and thank you so much to all who shared the rituals they chose to do) and get clear on who you are and what is your vision.  Oh yes, and the Solstice reading special is still on for a few more days and there are about 5 spots left (for those of you who have asked.)

As I shared on my FB live – the intentions I have set at Solstice and Equinox time have been soul affirming and life changing!  

Okay, enough chuntering on.  Let’s crack on with the reading! So when I asked who wanted to come and share this week I nearly wet myself laughing!  The glorious guides of The Oracle of the Dragonfae were most adamant (I mean most adamant!) 

(You seriously can’t make this shit up!)

Now if these guides are new to you, let me introduce them (as that’s the polite thing to do).  Feel their love.  Know your power….the Dragonfae are our flesh and soul kin, our friends, our guardians and our allies.  When we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life.  These guides are the magickal and mystical that weave through the threads of every day, they are the Dragonfae, Gods and Goddesses who dwelt in dimensional lands….Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu, they are Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin and others – fully alive and filled with magick! They are the deliciously magickal beings that have always been there, we just forgot, and when we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life on this beautiful green and blue planet, known by some as Gaia, by others as Dana, and by many other names. 

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to participate made me smile.  Amethyst – is a powerful and protective stone.  It guards against psychic attack, transmuting the energy into love and protecting the wearer from all types of harm, including geopathic or electromagnetic stress and ill wishes from others.  Amethyst is a natural tranquiliser.  Citrine – has the nickname of “The Merchants Stone”, as it’s most certainly involved with money, manifestation and marvellousness!  Last but not least, Pyrite – Like a trusted bodyguard, Pyrite is great for the third chakra, enhances will power and helps overcome anxiety.  A fabulous rebalancer and manifestation stone.  

Gorgeous sprigs of Lemon Balm grabbed at me as I came in to write.  Lemon Balm holds the magic of quiet, steady trust.  So with all that being said, let’s go explore.

Take a moment to just BE.  Breathe a lovely exhale out and then allow a deep gorgeous belly breath in.  Breathe until you are ready to pick.  If you want to go a little deeper into getting clear I have a lovely guided visualisation for you (we are heading to the beach!)

Beach and Blessing

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go meet your guides.

LADY OF THE NEW BUDS

See how my garden has grown about me?  See how my children, the darling buds, clamour for my attention?  They cry at night and can be so touchy during the day!  I must shelter them from harshness and keep them in a safe place, till they are strong enough to branch out….even then, my watchful eye will look out for their care.

You see, so many people see the beauty, and do not understand where it sprang from; the rich, loamy soil.  The sweet water poured from the water-Dragonfae into this earth, the minerals of the natural realms, the light of the Sun and the shining sweetness of the crystal moon have all anointed my garden with their blessings.  And then there is me.  So many see my garden, and wonder at it, but they do not see the work and the care that has preceded my domain.  Its beauty is a result of love, care, natural growth and attention to each and every one of its inhabitants.  

When your growth appears around you, from the seeds you have planted, take time to tend this garden.  Enlist the assistance of like-minded souls, and just as you would not feed these tender buds poisons and pollutants, do not feed your ideas the opinions and energies of those who are not in integrity.  Stay true to the vision of your creation and truly take a little time each day to tend this garden, be it of love, ideas, little ones or creative endeavours, until they are robust and begin to grow into their own energy.  For now, it is the tender time, the time when the buds are at most risk from the frost of rejection, the poison of judgement, and the choke of cruelty.  Be vigilant, and you too will have a garden for all to enjoy and love.  

Many will feel you’re fortunate indeed to have created such a beautiful Eden, but they will not see the care you have taken to grow this.  But I have seen.  I have seen it all.  Whisper to her your dreams and ideas, plant your seeds, and watch them grow.  Allow her to inspire you with care for your own budding projects, beings, loves and responsibilities.  

The emergence will come at the right time, because the bud will be forced to flower at some stage – do not allow yourself to wither in the bud.  Divine guidance needs practical application and work.  Action teamed with inspiration will create a beautiful, bountiful paradise.  Work hard at what it is  you love. 

THE TIME GUARDIAN

The feelings you have, of time contracting and expanding, are real insights, not simply your imagination.  Time is a living dimensional being, whose powers include the ability to devote more time to those of us who require it, and for time to speed up or slow down then it may be necessary, too.  It is in this way that we are able to divine and travel through the threads and weavings of time, and move forward into seeing our future…in truth, we are already there.  And much of who we truly are remains an echo.  The time beings of the Dragonfae, of whom I am one, know this, and guard and protect you from confusion.  Similarly, they can assist you when you require time to be created.  

If you feel you are short of time, send a thought message to me, the Guardian of Time, and I will send you all the help you need to meet your goals within the time you feel you have.  Know that time is available to work for and with you; you need only tune into it as a dimensional reality, and connect with the time beings.  Know that you are a timeless being.  Know that you are dimensionally vast, that you are protected, cherished and loved.  

If you work with time rather than trying to compartmentalise, control and define it, if we return to the lunar and solar and astronomical ways, if we celebrate the time changes apparent in nature all around us with the Wheel of the Year, then the time span we have will be richer and more joyful, our vocations will be discovered and we will no longer struggle to cram so much into our days.  Because changing our perceptions is such a mammoth task, the Time Guardian is sometimes very tired, as the prevailing human mindset now is of time needing to be constrained and watched.  He encourages us all to experience the natural flow of the energy we call time, and experience its multi-dimensionality.  There is one simple way to work with him.  Be in the present moment, more often. 

THE MORRIGHAN

I see now that events are moving extremely fast; this is a time of rapid change and creation, so rapid that you may wish to slow down, just a little.  However I say to you clearly that the time to act is now; and that procrastination and hesitation are your enemies at this time.  I can lead you forward through this time, and help you pick your way through the minefield before you.  This is a time of testing and darkness, but through this you will grow strong.  Be aware!  If you have resisted your abilities, or felt blocked in terms of following your life path, these changes will take place very rapidly because they have been waiting for a signal to be able to come in, and they are working hard with you so you do not have to endure a long, drawn-out process of change.  Truly, you are ready.  Take flight with me, and know that taking your own path seriously and acting now with deep integrity, is the way for justice to reach you.

Do not give in to panic and do not run.  Now is the time.  If not now, when?

You have already tortured yourself in a thousand ways with your thoughts.  You cannot avoid change; each day your cells renew, and all you have to do is breathe in and out for this process to take place.  You are confusing stasis with safety – there is nothing to fear, there is everything to gain.  A turning point in your life demands action on your behalf, and backing down or avoidance is not the answer.  Draw strong boundaries and claim your space.  Face trouble rather than turning away.  Confront injustice and change the rules by which you have felt bound.  Learn to work with your strength and your own ability to create deep change.  Lose fear of your own power.  Let your courage feel inspired and know that destiny has given you an opportunity to be the courageous being of action that you truly are.

Oh my gosh, I love, love, love the cards!  Such perfect messages and insight for where we all are right now.  So my gorgeous one, a last gentle reminder that the Solstice Reading Special ends this week and the Book of Summer Solstice will be removed in 3 days.  Have an amazing week!  Be gentle with yourself and others, take time out to just BE and allow the energy to move through you and not get stuck in you.  Massive Hugs and Squeezes.  See you next week!

Winter Solstice and 9 Glorious Rituals to Tap into the Energy and Mysteries.

Jenny Heston · 8:18 am ·

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” 

~ Lewis Carroll

I love Winter Solstice and I can feel the energy of it for a few weeks before it even arrives.  It’s dark far earlier, much colder outside and there is a desire to cocoon, wear warmer clothes and eat soup (at least for me).  There is a sensation of reflection, going inwards and questioning that arrives naturally from this energy. To me this is a time where I notice those “meh” moments more and really examine my life and ask the question “Am I showing up and embodying what I am called to do?” That’s why, to me, I feel it vital to take some time out to honour this energy and work with it which in turn allows me to feel aligned.  In fact I feel more balanced, connected and inspired after I have taken some time.

As a kid I used to be scared of the dark, I felt it held things that were terrifying and uncomfortable.  As an adult I have learned that’s not true and have become willing to walk into the darkness and allow myself to get comfortably uncomfortable and dig deep, explore the mysteries and embrace all aspects of being human.  Light and dark.  You can’t have one without the other!  Winter Solstice invites us with a safe open hand to step into the place of mystery, the warm comforting dark that wraps around us like a cosy blankie.  Whispering in our ear – rest, be, embrace, release, create, imagine, grow ……….

So what is Winter Solstice and why celebrate it?  Why take the time to honour it? The Pagan celebration of Winter Solstice (also known as Yule) is one of the oldest winter celebrations in the world.  Winter Solstice takes place on the day where the night is the longest and the hours of sun or daylight are the shortest. In fact “Solstice” comes from two Latin words: sol meaning “sun” and sistere meaning “to stand still” because it appeared as though the sun and moon had stopped moving across the sky. This longest night of the year, followed by a renewal of the sun, demonstrates the cyclical order of the cosmos. In this way, celebrating the solstice can be a beautiful remembrance that our lives are part of a larger order, always changing, always renewing.  It’s a gorgeous invitation to not be afraid of the dark or the shadow, as it is in that place is where we shift, grow and recharge.

Winter Solstice has been celebrated in various forms and for thousands of years across a myriad of cultures, all who are willing to step into the darkness and wait to welcome back the light. (And if you lived in medieval times that’s pretty ballsy!

In Britain long before the arrival of Christianity. The Druids (Celtic priests) would cut the mistletoe that grew on the oak tree and give it as a blessing. Oaks were seen as sacred and the winter fruit of the mistletoe was a symbol of life in the dark winter months.  It was also the Druids who began the tradition of the Yule log. The Celts thought that the sun stood still for twelve days in the middle of winter and during this time a log was lit to conquer the darkness, banish evil spirits and bring luck for the coming year.

There was Saturnalia in Ancient Rome which began on December 17 and lasted for 7 days.  These celebrations were held from as far back as around 217 BC to honour Saturn, the father of the gods.  

Feast of Juul – This is where we get the term Yule from at this time of year, was a pre-Christian festival observed in Scandinavia at the time of the December solstice.  People would light fires to symbolize the heat and light of the returning sun and a Juul (or Yule) log was brought in and dropped in the hearth as as a tribute to the Norse god Thor.  This log was burned until nothing but ash remained. The ashes were then collected and either strewn on the fields as fertiliser every night until Twelfth Night or kept as a charm.

Yalda – or Shab-e-Chelleh (night of fourty) is an Iranian festival celebrated on the “longest and darkest night of the year” – Solstice.  Every year, on December 21st, Iranians celebrate the arrival of winter, the renewal of the sun and the victory of light over darkness on Yalda Night.  

Santo Tomas – a celebration in Guatemala where the Mayan Indians indulged in the ritual known as the Palo Volador, or “flying pole dance.”  Three men climb on top of a 50 foot pole as one of them beats a drum and plays a flute. The other two men wind a rope attached to the pole around one foot and jump.  If they land on their feet, it is believe that the sun god will be pleased and that the days will start getting longer.

So if you were in doubt that Winter Solstice might be fictitious or flaky baky, let me assure you – nope.  If I were to try and explain this celebration in a nutshell it would be a time for introspection, embracing of the shadow, a willingness to walk into the dark, to then celebrate the returning of the light within and without.  This is a celebration of honouring the dark before calling into the light. Also, as a side note, Winter Solstice may occur on one day, however, this is a season of Winter we enter where we walk with the dark far more and allow ourselves to release what no longer serves us.  

Let’s talk rituals – some people get really weirded out when the word “ritual” is mentioned.  So let’s put some myths aside right now – there is no right way or wrong way, you don’t have to have all the ingredients for a certain ritual, it doesn’t need to be complex and over the top (but if that’s your style, go for it).  I personally like simple rituals that I can do with my kids, on my own, with friends I trust and I don’t ever want them to feel like I am adding to my “to do” list, especially in this frenzied time.

To me ritual is intentional and all about creating space for you to tap into the seasons, the reasons and yourself. Ritual is intention made manifest into physical form.  By performing simple rituals with personal meaning to celebrate the solstice, these rituals will serve as touchstones to help you cultivate an attitude of receptiveness and appreciation that will carry you through the holiday season with more ease. A good starting point might be to make a promise this winter to spend more time listening, watching, and honoring the slower, quieter rhythm of the season.

Always, always start with setting the space.  Whether it is lighting a candle, hanging a wreath of evergreens or just sitting in silence for a while. Honour yourself, your connection to Gaia and Spirit, the celebration and get clear on your intention. Let’s explore 9 easy and amazing rituals to help you tap into this gorgeous energy, gain more peace and clarity and release whatever is not serving you. There is also a fabulous Winter Solstice visualisation to really help you explore the energy of this season.

Oh yes, and as an aside many of you have asked if the Solstice Special for Private Readings will be available after Solstice. Nope. The Solstice Special ends at midnight on December 21st. So take advantage of it now and if you want to start 2019 off with a fabulous private reading to help you set the tone of the year, we can do that!

Canada may have taken silver in hockey, but they g Canada may have taken silver in hockey, but they get gold in the Leadership Olympics.

On one side: a president who normalizes misogyny, makes everything about him, and posts slop AI fantasy footage of himself scoring the winning goal.

On the other: Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, a former Harvard goalie, who stepped onto the ice with the Edmonton Oilers last spring, practiced, praised the players, and called the experience “awesome” and “amazing.”

One is the underskilled, cocky player nobody wants to play with.

The other understands he’s part of a team.

More importantly, Carney refused to be bullied by Trump’s trade wars and has developed new trade partners in response to the president’s unconstitutional tariffs. 

Oh, and he’s not a p3do.

The bar is literally in hell.

We are shedding the year of the wood snake (slow, We are shedding the year of the wood snake (slow, deliberate, deep introspection) and moving into the year of the fire horse (fast, momentum, fiery pursuit) in Chinese astrology (Feb 2026). 

In numerology, we are leaving a 9 year (completions, endings, closures) and moving into a 1 year (beginnings, new chapters, starting over) beginning Jan 1st. 

I’ve felt every transition deeply lately. It’s almost surreal. 

I don’t know about you, but I’ll be following the gentle pace of the horse. Determined and yet not burnt out. That’s my 2026 goals. What about you?

If you’ve spent the last 12 months feeling like yo If you’ve spent the last 12 months feeling like you’re crawling through the in-between, this is for you.

In Chinese astrology, 2025 was Snake Year. And Snake Year is about shedding.

Peeling back layers. Releasing what’s complete. Letting go of old identities. Questioning everything you thought you knew.

And if you felt like you were crawling through the mountains for 12 months—like everything was falling apart, like you didn’t know who you were anymore—that wasn’t failure.

That was the shed.

You weren’t stuck. You were transforming.

And they say the harder your Snake Year was, the more explosive your Horse Year will be.

Horse Year (starting Feb 17) is about movement. Action. Momentum. Speed.

Everything you’ve been waiting for? It’s about to accelerate.

The clarity you’ve been chasing? It’s coming.

The life you’ve been building? It’s about to click into place.

The version of you that’s been emerging? She’s about to take the lead.

So if you’re entering this feeling exhausted, raw, and uncertain—good.

That means you did the work.

Now get ready. We gallop on the 17th.
🔥 Ring of Fire Eclipse + Year of the Fire Horse?! 🔥 Ring of Fire Eclipse + Year of the Fire Horse?!

Oh we are not playing small in 2026.

This is bold.
This is catalytic.
This is “darling, it’s time.”

Unexpected doors.
Sudden clarity.
Leaps before you feel fully ready.

But remember — courage without burnout, passion without drama. Tend your flame.

Curious what’s opening for you?
Come read the full post and meet your guides.

🔥 Let’s walk through the fire beautifully.

None of this is new. It’s just newly visible on a None of this is new.
It’s just newly visible on a mass scale.

Staying sane now means learning how to see corruption clearly without becoming it.

What we’re witnessing is not an accidental exposure of truth. It’s not an ‘oops’ info leak moment. 

Its a deliberately curated public ritual of moral inversion. 

A slow collective grooming of conscience, where what initially shocks gets repeated and flooded into daily awareness until it becomes habitual, tolerable and eventually normalised.

When sinister contradictions are performed publicly again and again its basically an invitation to adapt, lower standards, dissociate and mirror what you see. It’s an emotional exhaustion trap.

Not to mention the figures and systems that are elevated as moral representatives or centralised standards of conduct, only to corrupt and decay on a public stage. 

It’s not accidental. Its subliminal conditioning. 

By publicly collapsing certain individuals, the aim is to collapse the values or beliefs the collective psyche had attached to them. From institutional ideals to spiritual frameworks, and many shared human ethics in between. 

Thats the inversion.

Certain figures are elevated, then offered as sacrificial lambs. Their fall is meant to preserve the structure and take the values attached to them down too.

But ideas dont just expire because their representatives betray them!!! I think the task here is to reclaim / embody values that were never outside to begin with and stop outsourcing our sense of safety and direction.

Recognising the pattern clearly is the beginning of choice.

It is an opportunity to see what is being reflected and embody something different.
To not let hope collapse but instead to let the collapse of illusion refine it.

To root deeper into art, community, solidarity, moral clarity, ancestral wisdom, decentralised sustenance, organised mutual aid systems.

These are our tools. 
In action (not just here in pretty words).

To me the power of the warrior comes from inner alignment that holds under pressure, a fierce sense of justice, and values that dont decompose when the systems around us do. 

Love will win.
I sat down to write about Valentine’s Day… and got I sat down to write about Valentine’s Day… and got a cosmic smack down instead.

We’re in the final week of the Year of the Snake, Chinese New Year is approaching, and a Solar Eclipse is stirring everything awake — aka shedding season.

While the world shouts about roses and romance, the real invitation right now is to fall wildly (and intentionally) in love with yourself.

Real nourishment. Real devotion. Real magick.

This week’s reading is your nudge to honour your heart, your body, and your becoming — plus a gentle self-love ritual to anchor it all.
