Solstice

How Big are Your Balls? Lol. Welcoming The Dark, Creativity, Intuition and the glorious Winter Solstice is coming!

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

How are you? If you celebrated Thanksgiving I hope it was relaxing, fun and made your heart sparkle.

Here the air has literally changed and I can smell that early winter smell mixed with wood smoke from cosy fireplaces.

As I go for my big yomps with Danu the wise (and highly energetic) therapy doggo I’ve noticed that people are putting up tons of sparkly lights – I so LOVE sparkly lights!

When I moved here a couple of years ago I noticed that people decorated their outdoor trees with HUGE, I mean HUGE Big Balls! Which was a “new to me” thing, (Thus very quickly I experienced Big Ball Envy!) So I thought – I need me some BIG BALLS! Bright, shiny, sparkly and eye-catching lolol.

I put this thought out there to friends and random strangers and lo and behold I manifested gorgeous gold crescent moons with a single star on them, big glorious gold balls and …….. Drum roll please! BIG BLUE BALLS!

(Trust me, some days I have the humour of a 10 year old boy!) Yup, huge, mammoth BIG BLUE SHINY BALLS! Snort!

I have since added more big balls so we now have gold, red, and blue balls. Thus, on Sunday when we had a glorious sunny day for a change I got out the ladder and bedecked the heck out of the tree in front of the house and a couple of wee Garry Oaks on the boulevard. It looks quite cheerful, sparkly and makes me smile.

So when a rather crotchety person walked by and said “You’re putting Xmas decorations up already?” I just grinned and said “these are my Solstice balls, and I like my balls big!”

Okay enough of those shenanigans!

Can you feel it? The change in the season, the change in the energy?

We are in the glorious late Fall and early Winter energy where we are being invited to go into the dark, to go inward, to ponder, perk, plan and prepare!

Winter Solstice is just around the corner and I am so thrilled as it is one of my most favourite times of year. I will be putting together a glorious package on rituals, energy and ways of celebrating the Winter Solstice, so make sure you are on the email list.

However, the bottom line is very much about – into the dark we go to nourish, replenish and rejuvenate.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been finding with the shorter days and longer nights that my Creativity has been going through the roof. I’ve been knitting, doing macrame, making wee mushrooms out of clay, writing tons and tons and it has felt so nourishing and satisfying. It’s also increased my intuition 10 fold (which has been most interesting).

As when we allow Creativity to flow through us (without any attachment to perfection on the end result), it allows our Intuition to flow alongside and that’s when Magick happens!

What is something you have thought about making or creating but have held off due to overthinking and trying to make it perfect? I dare you to try it this week. Set aside some time in the evenings to just play!

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading. Are you ready?

When I asked my guides who wanted to come and play this week they picked the gorgeous Wild Wisdom Faeries.

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them as not to, would be rather rude!

It is time. It is that Once Upon a Time again. Time to return to our relationship with the wild places, the wild ones, the faeries and our wildish selves. For as we do, miracles of healing will occur. Just as faeries cleanse and purify the water, the air, the earth, the fire and the spirit, when we reweave our sacred alliance with the faery realms, we too begin to heal. From our sadness. Our loneliness. From our souls that cry out for the poetry that is the soul of the world.

If you yearn to shine once again, if you wish to reclaim the wildish self who lives at the heart of you, who knows how to be well, to be happy, to be whole…..if you wish to clear illness, guilt, and untruths from your life and truly, deeply heal and transform, then these guides are your keys to the faery realm, and there you will be reborn.

Perfect guides for the energy shift that is happening and as we move closer to Solstice when the Fae come to dance.

Okay dear one, take a moment. Breathe yourself back into your body. Allow your heart to beam like a glorious magnet and pull all the pieces of yourself back that you may have left scattered throughout the day.

Then when you are ready I invite you to see in your minds eye a warm, welcoming darkness that wraps itself around you like a soothing weighted blanket.

Your body and mind relax and from this place your Creativity surges bringing with it your own delicious Intuition. Breathe that in. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that whisper to you, tickle the edges.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

CHILD OF THE MOON

It is time to allow the cycles of time, the tides and the flow of life herself, and even the power of the moon’s cleansing light to help you to forgive someone. For if you are suffering right now, it must be due to a feeling of resentment or dislike that remains within you.

There is nothing that forgiveness and her power cannot heal. But how to do this, when life seems to flood us with memories of incidents that have wounded us?

It’s time to conduct a forgiveness ceremony as sincerely as you can in order not to recreate a situation that has previously hurt you. While you are still vibrating to the energy of the past, it cannot help but repeat itself, even if the echoes do grow fainter.

You can attain enlightenment – a lessening of the burdens, a reduction in grief, a return of good cheer and optimism – through forgiveness.

By forgiving those who have hurt or persecuted us, we allow ourselves to be free.

Ask the faeries to assist you, to help you find the opportunities to exercise your forgiveness muscles. Ask them to help you clear under moonlight, and watch them clear and brush from you all the debris that causes you pain. Just volunteer for this. Just all it to happen. Just be willing, be open to it.

You will know you have forgiven when reminders of the person or situation no longer cause you distress. You will see the blessings and the lesson, and you will not allow this to take place again because forgiveness frees us from the shackles of pain that tie us to the past and to people we have long left behind.

When we do not forgive, we are, energetically and quite literally, dragging them around behind us. And it is that weight that can hold us back from our true potential.

ONCE WAS INNOCENT

Once you did not know. You did not know the truth that your heart belongs to nature, that you were born innocent and you shall die wise, and that this is the true natural law. Once you did not know. But now you do. And now you do know, you must decide what to do.

Once you’ve experienced the magick of life, watched the moonlight woven into jewels, water offer herself to the thirsty roots of trees for drink and heard the birds speak one with the other. Now you know of this magick, what will you do? Pretend to live as before? Endlessly go though the days, the next so much the same as the day before that it feels you are endlessly reworking ever so slightly the same time between sunrise and sunset?

Now you know. What will you do?

If you are courageous, you can now become who you truly are on every level, including the magickal level. When you accept this part of who you are, and accept that this magick you have experienced is natural and good, you will grow stronger, more fearless, more calm, more effective and you will draw to you the people who can echo back to you these truths you have found.

You will no longer mind not fitting into a realm you always feared living in, and you will know you can find your own path, tangled and wooded as it may be. You can no longer deny what you have seen, heard, felt and touched and been touched by. You know magick is true and real. And that wonderment is your path, from this time forth.

So what to do? Seek advice and consult people who have had similar experiences. Surround yourself with knowledge, and know that the innocence is not lost, and that your beliefs are not naive. Your wisdom is not telling your truth, and acknowledging your experience.

Choose, let your blood sing and your heart will open. And you will be in wonderment evermore.

I wonder, too. What will you choose?

GREENMANS DOOR

The faery know that there are times when the door to their realm is firmly, well, shut. They choose when and to whom the door will open. And while they may not look like they are on guard, the beautiful faery maiden swinging oh so casually on the handle, and the Greenman of the wood – literally – behind her will not let any pass unless they have shown they are good and wild at heart.

But what the faery also knows, and what you are about to learn, is a great secret. For there are eight great doors to Faery every 13 moons, and they are as old as Mother Earth herself, and are powerful portals to other dimensions and worlds. Each of these great doorways and portals occurs throughout what witches call the Wheel of the Year, and they run from sundown to sundown the following day.

These eight special times have long been covered, or changed, or smothered by other lore. But now you know their true magicks, you too can experience the door opening. And if you are wondering when the next time is, it’s the Winter Solstice. These doorways, once walked through, can assist you in detaching from harmful thoughts, relationships and behaviours. Walking through these doorways HEALS.

You are about to pass through a potential doorway of time, thus you will soon have access to other dimensions and realities, including that of the faery.

It is time to consider becoming a walker between the worlds, to dance in the liminal space and the field of infinite possibilities. To draw back the veil and to part the mists.

To do so will bring healing, change and powerful magicks into your current reality. Ask the Greenman and the faery maiden for permission to enter and make an offering. Then prepare for deep, beautiful, abiding change.

Make an offering, place your hand on the door, and push ever so gently. Then she will open.

Wow! What glorious cards – how did you feel about the ones you picked? Well delicious lovely I wish you a stupendous week, may you take time to go inwards and allow your own unique creativity to come and play. Over the next bit we will be exploring the Winter Solstice, and a few other delightful nuggets to support you as we move through this last month of 2022. Many of you have asked if I am opening up spots for a personalised reading as a Solstice special. I will let you know next week. Sending you huge hugs and squeezes, and remember – You are a glorious Creative being with big balls! Lol. Have a great week!

Full Moon/Cold Moon, Solstice, BOWS, Joy and a Special Reading.

Jenny Heston · 1:11 pm ·

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

I don’t know about you but I am getting inundated with emails that are telling me 18 days left of 2021, 12 days until Xmas and a myriad of other things. It makes me think – do these people think I’m daft? Living under a rock? Or from another planet?

We can all do the math and figure out how many days of this year are left and as Xmas never changes its date – duh, we can do that math! Sigh. To me this creates another sense of stress in an already stressful season, let alone year. It’s as if the world is going a tad bonkers and fear, scarcity and perfection are driving the unsupervised school bus! (Terrifying thought!)

This is yet another reason why Solstice (which happens on December 21st) resonates for me on such a deep level. So for all you amazing beasties who have emailed and messaged asking if there is going to be a Book of Winter Solstice this year (fondly referred to as BOWS), you bet your arse! It is here and there is an amazing (if I say so myself) guided visualisation that will release the stress, the ties that may be binding a tad too tight and fill your soul.

Also, in response to “you must do this before the New Year” emails and sentiments that are floating around. I call bollocks! To tell me that if I don’t do this or that then 2022 will be a poor year is just preying on fear, and that doesn’t work for me! So I decided to create a Reading Special with two new readings to really help you tap into the energy of the New Year for yourself in a more personal way.

One is, what does 2022 bring to you energetically and how to embrace and embody it all year long. The other is, as we step into 2022 what is the path and the obstacle for you? What needs to be released so that your path opens up even more?

So if either of those resonate for you, I am opening up spots for those readings and you will receive them at the beginning of January.

But let’s get back to talking about Xmas and Solstice.

The other day someone asked me if I was “anti-Xmas” as I seem to talk more about Solstice.

Mmmmm, nope. When my kids were tiny we celebrated both and most certainly Xmas was more of the main event, yet it didn’t feel as if it had a lot of soul in it, Joy in essence seemed to be missing, it was more about consumerism and putting on a front. Also, for me I wanted to rest and hibernate, but it was a time of parties, gatherings and bright lights.

Here’s an example of how bonkers I was with making Xmas “Disney perfect”, (which was certainly expected by my wasbund). My youngest (who turns 19 this year), was born on the Winter Solstice (December 21st) and I had to stay in the hospital until the day before Xmas Eve.

What would you do if you were coming home with a 2 day old child to 4 more children two days before Xmas? Relax? Rest? Let perfection fly out of the window? I most certainly hope you would.

However, one of the traditions that we had was that everyone would receive fabulous, funky, homemade pjs on Xmas Eve to open before they went to bed, made by moi!

So you guessed it! With a wee babe snuggled up on me I sewed, and sewed, and sewed and dashed back and forth. 20 pairs of pjs were made, cookies were baked, baby and kids were tended and – drum roll please……………………by Xmas day I felt fucked!

But hey, I had satisfied everyone around me and the societal conditioning of being perfect, and most certainly the conditioning of consumerism. Yet I felt empty, confused, tired and wondering where the soul in celebrations was.

Shortly after I chose to become a single mum of 5, and as I was still buying into the conditioning and just exploring my path, the stress level was brutal.

The presents (and finding the ‘perfect’ one that matched the commercials even if it was well over the budget), the baking of a myriad of cookies for a bake sale, finding the perfect tree, making sure the decorations were stupendous, sewing costumes for Xmas pageants, sitting through those Xmas pageants …… and the list went on, and on. Yup, Joy had left the building with the overwhelm flooding in!

As Goddess forbid I certainly didn’t want my kids to feel left out or that I was fucking up in any shape or form, and it didn’t help that their father turned it into a competition. (I can see you nodding your head!)

Interestingly enough after a few years when Finn (the youngest) was about 4, and I was deepening my path, he was adamant that the time up to his birthday shouldn’t be filled with Xmas stuff. He wanted to celebrate his birthday first and then Solstice. Wow! That kicked me in the arse and the game changed.

On his birthday we would have a party or whatever he chose (normally it included sledding and a snowball fight). Then in the evening we would turn all the lights off, open the doors and windows and start our Solstice celebration. A spiral walk, stories told in the dark, then turning up the lights, bringing in a tree we had harvested and decorating it whilst eating Solstice nibbles and laughing our soxs off. What a difference! There was soul, there was depth, there were rituals, connection and it wasn’t about the presents it was about the season and the people.

So no, I’m not anti-Xmas, but to me Solstice is richer, deeper and far more nourishing. I feel aligned with the seasonal energy. Modern society & the demands we put on ourselves, can keep us from our most important work in winter: To REST.

Too often, we go through winter out of alignment with the seasonal energy: we’re working against it, and it’s creating a lot of dis-ease in our spirits. It depletes you.

This is why The Book of Winter Solstice was created. To offer a different, deeper and more meaningful way to engage with all that our society and our soul needs.

Two days before Solstice we have the Full Moon/Cold Moon. Over in Creatrix Circle we are gathering on this Full Moon to celebrate the Winter Solstice.

While Nature appears to be dead and lifeless, looks can be deceiving. Deep beneath the surface are themes of rest, renewal, and hope.

December’s Cold Moon spiritual meaning corresponds with Nature’s dormant energy. It’s a time for introspection and soul-searching, a chance to recharge and reconnect. This is a magical season full of transformation and deep internal work.

Winter can become a time of feeding the spirit and nurturing the soul, not just emptying our bank account and fraying our nerves.

It may seem counterproductive to pause, rest, and reflect. However, remember that your worth isn’t defined by what you’ve accomplished. Use the Cold Moon as a symbolic guide to freeze and hibernate as well.

Slow down and be fully present in activities that truly bring you joy and pleasure. Before you know it, Spring will be here, so enjoy these quiet moments of rest and solitude. So why not create a to-do list for this Winter holiday that captures your inner child. What would you like to do to bring more holiday magic to the season?

With so many obligations during December, find time to slow down and read a book you enjoy. With the longer nights and colder days, it’s a perfect time to snuggle up and relax. Pick something purely for pleasure or a non-fiction book that can help you learn something new or change your perspective.

Lol, so there we go, Solstice, Xmas, Book of Winter Solstice, Full Moon and Solstice Reading all in a nutshell!

Okay – now let’s crack on with the reading. When I sat with all my lovely decks and asked who felt a strong urge to come support and guide us this week as we head into the dark and the shortest day I was tickled to see who hopped up.

The glorious guides who were adamant are the Sacred Destiny Oracle. So in case you have never met them, let me introduce you – and if you have met them before, let me reintroduce you (as not to do so is rude!). “You have a sacred destiny; we all do. There is a powerful and profound reason that you are here on the planet. However, sometimes it may be difficult to understand what that reason is and perceive what is required on your journey into the future. It may be a challenge to know what the next step in life should be. This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul. In ancient traditions, shamans, medicine women, witches, visionaries, and prophets all accessed hallowed knowledge by observing their natural environment. These wise beings stepped through mystic gateways into inner realms to bring back meaning to the seemingly random event of life. “

I seriously snorted tea out of my nose when they appeared. Why?

Re-read the last two lines.

Okay darling one. Please take a moment to just relax. Don’t worry about if the lights look great, or how you are going to deal with Uncle Tony at the Xmas dinner. Just BE here NOW. Take a massive deep breath out first through an open mouth. Then allow your breathing to find its open delightful, rich rhythm and let your shoulders drop. As we have just lit the third candle of Advent, Joy, the candle of the animal world. So what does Joy feel like to you right now? Is it elusive or is it permeating your being. Breathe.

If you want to play with Joy a bit more I have a guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

STAYING FOCUSED

Be clear about where you are going. Do not compromise!

Follow your dreams; you deserve the best. Prioritise your life.

Once you decide on a direction, hold the course. Do not veer. Do what’s important, and release the rest. Place your intent and passion on one thing, rather than scattering in many directions,and you will be successful.

On the path, it’s easy for the traveler to be distracted by people, events, and even shiny objects. Do not take any side roads. Stay the course.

Keep going, no matter what emerges on your path that distracts you. It’s easy to get lost and forget where you’re heading. Recommit yourself to your destination.

What you focus on is what you create, so put your attention on what is worthwhile, beautiful, and inspiring. Refrain from focusing on what’s not working: only focus on the direction you want to go.

MIRACLES

Just around the bend, a miracle is waiting to happen.

Release fear and uncertainty, and majestic wonders wait to unfold for you.

Watch for them and embrace them. Some come in an unlikely form. Trust that all is unfolding for your highest good. Expect miracles in your life.

What is expected tends to be realised. The more you become aware of the small marvels in your life, the more you will grow in magnitude. Celebrate and cherish them when they appear, no matter how small they may seem.

What others see as ordinary, you see as wondrous. Look at your life in a new way. Let go of fear and expectation, and allow the Goddess to solve your challenges in mysterious and wondrous ways.

Don’t limit the way you think miracles can appear in your life. All is well.

FARAWAY PLACES

Stop playing it safe.

Get ready for new horizons and change in your life. A journey is coming.

It might be to foregin lands or faraway places, or may be an inner shift that changes your destiny. It’s all beneficial. Sometimes we can feel wobbled when we are not in our normal surroundings, however, you are safe and protected. Good fortune ensues.

Part of the glory of travel is stepping out of old habits, routines, and the repetitiveness of everyday life. It can feel daunting, yet in no small way your life is a spiritual voyage. Change is coming. Things are not as they seem. There are no wrong turns; every adventure and missed-venture is part of the course.

You are on a pilgrimage of the soul. Keep your metaphorical bag packed; some unexpected experiences are ahead. Be ready for anything. The joy of travel is that you can begin to experience the everyday as if you are seeing it for the first time.

Nothing should be taken for granted.

Absolutely perfect! How did that feel for you? Wishing you a stupendous Full Moon. Remember, if you want to learn something different and like stories, lore and rituals, as well as a glorious guided visualisation for Solstice, gift yourself the BOWS. Also, don’t forget if you want to take advantage of the Solstice special on the two new readings, please do. Remember to play for goodness sakes and don’t get caught up in what you think it “should look like”, sending you massive warm hugs, big gingerbread kisses and golden light! See you next week for the last reading of 2021!

What does Peace Smell Like? Winter Solstice is coming!

Jenny Heston · 1:11 am ·

Happy Magickal, Miraculous, Musing, Magnificent, Mature, Manifesting first Monday of December!

How are you delicious lovely? How was your last week and the eclipse energy for you?

I ask because many of you emailed and messaged saying you felt soooooooo out of sorts and I think a few of you used the word “fucked”. I can totally relate! My energy last week was all over the map, from panic, to anger, to anxiety, to fear, to needing to just be on my own to wanting to be sort of around others. It was bizarre! And then I took time on the evening of the eclipse to immerse myself in a delicious ritual that nourished my soul and reset the energy, and the sense of Peace that came flooding in was Divine!

Which got me thinking about Peace. What does that word really mean? In a fabulous kids book written by Vladimir Radunsky he asks kids aged 8 – 10 from all around the world What Does Peace Feel Like? Here are some of their amazing answers.

What does peace smell like?

Like a bouquet of flowers in a happy family’s living room, like pizza with onions and sausage that just came out of the oven…

What does peace look like?

Like a cat and a dog curled up together in a basket, like new babies just born yesterday…

What does peace sound like?

Like a silent day, like raindrops falling, like no bad words…

What does peace taste like?

Like vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, like sweet, like your favorite food times two…

What does peace feel like?

Like hugs your friends give you when you cry, like someone stroking your back; you shiver a little, but it’s a wonderful feeling…

So if you remember, last week I mentioned the first light of Advent being Hope and the Stones and the Bones. Yesterday was the lighting of the candle of Peace and the Plants. The Roots, stem, leaf, flower, and fruit by whom we live and grow.

I love the awareness this light invites, the awareness of the food we eat, the plants that heal us, the plantscape in Nature that nurtures us and soothes our souls.

And this delicious energy of Peace so beautifully ties into the Winter Solstice which is rapidly approaching!

Solstice is only 15 days away and many of you have asked when there will be a Book of Winter Solstice (fondly referred to as BOWS). It will be available within the next week! Plus another delicious giftie for you.

I have to admit I love, love, love Solstice – to me it’s that perfect balance point and the start of something new and exciting, filled with potential and possibilities and I can feel the energy of it for a few weeks before it even arrives.

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’s 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 the days get shorter in December, we force ourselves to get through the darkness. Now is a good season for spiritual alchemy — time to evaluate your life, and know that you’ll survive the dark times.

As we leave the season of late Autumn we enter the season of Winter which is brought in by Solstice (Yule). This is where we are invited to the downward spiral, the slow descent as water returns to Earth, emotion (water) coming into form (earth). The energy is descending and the light is low—this is the most inward, the most yin part of the year. Yet this is the time of year where we have the most Yang activities!

However, you can’t fool your body! When you really are tuned into your body and listen to the messages, your body often tells you things before anything or anyone else does. It wants to relax, rest, rejuvenate, replenish, create and imagine.

It wants to embrace Peace and Hope fully!

So let me ask again – what does Peace mean to you and how can you walk with it into the darkness of Solstice?

Okay, with all that being said (sometimes I do chunter on!), let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to support and guide this week I was delighted to see that the White Light Oracle were super keen. Now, if these guides are new to you please let me introduce you to them.

Let us guide you into the luminous realm of the sacred. The sacred is your heart treasure. It is that which brings light into your life. The sacred is precious to you. It matters enough that you are willing to devote yourself to it – even when that requires courage, sacrifice and growth. The sacred generates inner warmth. It brings you joy. The sacred is a healing mirror that shows you the truth of your experience, which can include a compassionate reflection of your own suffering. It shows you how to heal. It inspires and protects you. What is sacred for your heart is unique to you. Yet, for every heart, the sacred is an experience of sublime love and deep meaning. The sacred helps us remember who we are and shows us how to manifest our inner purpose.

Oh gosh yes, we certainly need to work within the sacred and with our strong rebellious hearts at this time!

Okay gorgeous one, settle into your body, breathe yourself back. As you gently slow down your breathing I invite you to bring up the sensation of Peace (whatever that means to you) and allow it to swirl in your mind’s eye. If you need a bit more support with Peace there’s a lovely little guided visualisation for you. Then, when you’re ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to go see?

BATH KOL

Eschew complicated explanations, as you seek the simplicity of the deepest truth of your heart. Gently but firmly cast aside that which does not resonate as being true for your heart. Focus upon, and speak from, a higher spiritual perspective. All prayers are answered at the perfect time and in the perfect way. You have a powerful voice, which can foster healing wisdom on our planet.

Bath Kol is a mysterious creature. She is an angel known as the divine oracle, the daughter of the divine voice, the pure and true sound of spirit. When she whispers to your heart, you feel it as an inner knowing, a truth. To honour that inner knowing likely requires the confrontation of fear or moving in unexpected directions. Even so, the deep resonance of her truth is more powerful than the resistance we may initially feel as we let go of our limited perspectives and allow ourselves to be guided by Spirit.

Often an inner spiritual call requires a leap of faith. A more authentic, awakened you is coming to life. Paving the way for the higher self to manifest typically means that fear and control based approaches need to be surrendered. Honouring Bath Kols guidance requires courage but brings rich reward on many levels.

Acknowledge your true voice. This may be the voice in your own heart which needs to be heard without judgement or censorship. It may be an intuitive inner knowing to be recognised. It may be a loving and helpful voice of a reliable guide or friend whom you know can be trusted. It may be a teaching from a dream or an insight from a meditation, or even an inkling that certain happenings or sightings are signs from the Universe to help you on your life path.

Practice your power of discernment. Filter ego from heart. If a point of view lowers your vibration, makes you feel negatively about yourself or another, increases your confusion or makes matters seem more complicated, it is likely to be an ego-driven viewpoint. To consider what you might be able to learn from that viewpoint, you need to settle yourself on more authentic spiritual ground.

DVARA PATRA

Out of confusion, a clear and progressive pathway is opening up for you. It is an auspicious time to give generously of yourself to others, enriching the quality of your connections, expressing spiritual blessings of goodwill and encouragement from your heart. A powerful blessing is entering your world. A prayer is now being answered ina beautiful way. Spirit gives freely and generously of all the goods things, and the task of humanity is to learn how to receive. The key to receiving is an open, surrendered, generous and trusting heart.

The Holy Grail is the sacred chalice. It is a powerful, living, regenerative and deeply healing symbol of hope and blessing. It will interact with each soul in its own way. For your soul, that may involve a recognition that the light is always seeking you, wanting to fill and heal and bless and protect you, to initiate you into awareness of the realms of light, beauty and divine presence.

It may remind your heart to receive, that you are capable of being a channel for goodness, grace, abundance and pure light. It may be recognised as a sign of a future blessing, of something truly desired finally coming to pass.

The sacred grail is hope; it is a blessing. It is both a portent of fulfilment and the inner means by which we connect with the loving language of light and truly receive. In Sanskrit, patra means ‘goblet’ or ‘vessel.’ In learning how to receive, we also learn how to be received, how to be fully beheld, which is an expression of unconditional love. The sacred chalice reminds us of our potential to hold, but also for the generosity of the Universe in providing for us so we, too, can be held and receive all we need.

Dvara is Sanskrit for a pathway, an opening or portal, a doorway or even a means or method. Your deepest fulfilment is via the receptive faculty of the sacred feminine. The femine way is organic, creative, responsive, spontaneous and effective. It is not constrained by our human perceptions of what is or is not possible. To honour and empower the sacred feminine genius in our lives requires a considerable shift away from mainstream, conditioning and into spiritual surrender. Allowing her method, rather than blocking her loving creativity in our lives, entails the movement from head to heart.

As you invert your priorities from ego to soul, you’ll invert your locus of orientation from head to heart, from outer to inner reality. You will trust what your heart knows, whether or not it makes sense to your logical mind – or to anyone else’s for that matter.

YOGINI OF 285 Hz

Changes in your life, including closing doors or missed opportunities are not going to derail your fulfilment. Realignments are happening based on divine wisdom and timing. You are being diverted from unnecessary obstacles and suffering. Trust in how your life path is unfolding. Stay true to your authentic healing journey, because it is working, whether you realise that or not. Significant inner healing is taking place.

In numerous spiritual traditions of the East, such as those from Nepal, Tibet and India , the yogini is a female spiritual adept, a practitioner of deep yoga that awakens a powerful connection with one’s real inner being. The yogini holds space for healing and enlightenment, moving through obstacles and challenges with wisdom, patience, commitment and often great joy. She is our spiritual sister, our sacred friend and our guide away from the bleak, erroneous thinking of ego into the softened, awakened, relaxed, gracious way of Spirit.

My darling you are on a powerful healing journey to connect body, mind and soul with the truth of your spiritual nature.

Solstice, Celebration and Super Full Moon in Capricorn!

Jenny Heston · 11:00 pm ·

Happy Magnetic, Magickal, Miraculous, Marvellous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you? Did you manage to take time to celebrate the Solstice? Here in North America Solstice arrived on Sunday (so if you are in Europe it will be today – Monday!)

I will say my Solstice was amazing! Getting up at 4am to head to the ocean to watch the sun slowly rise up over the horizon and then bask the ocean in liquid gold. Gathering (and pilfering) flowers to make a delicious flower mandala to offer as a blessing to the portal that was created!

Yes, I did say Portal, lol. (You can’t make this shit up!)

In the fairy garden there is a delicious wee portal woven out of ivy. So the other day I was sitting looking at it and thought “Wouldn’t it be cool to have a life sized portal?” (That’s where my mind goes sometimes). So last weekend driftwood galore was gathered in the early hours from the beaches, then a circle was drawn on the lawn and the building began and wow! Wow!

She is stupendous!!! all the pieces of driftwood wended together to create a 6ft Portal that then got set into the bank at the back of the garden where I have carved a trail through the brush up to an amazing little rocky park.

I wove ivy around her (keeping the roots in the ground) and then put tiny fairy lights onto her, and built an incredible rock stairway for her approach. The thing that is amazing is she looks like she grew there. I am chuffed to bits. I wanted her to be ready for Solstice, so a flower mandala was made on her threshold and then a cleansing and blessing spell was set with a very clear intention as to the energy she would hold. Last but not least 2 quartz points, a rose quartz and an amethyst were woven into her “horns”.

The perfect activity for Solstice followed by an outdoor Solstice gathering in the garden filled with great people, great food and ridonculous games (think water gun fights, light up frisbee and Yahtzee!)

The perfect way to mark such an intense Fire Celebration (and I will say I can certainly feel the Yang energy swirling).

Thank you to all the comments and feedback about the Book of Summer Solstice, I’m tickled to hear which rituals you are working with, how you liked the abundance spell and how so many of you have listened over and over to the guided visualisation. That makes my heart soar! And to answer your question – yes you can use this for the week following Solstice as well.

Oh yes, and with regards to the Summer Solstice Reading Special. Yes, I have 10 spots open and available from today until next Monday (June 28th)!

On the heels of the Solstice energy, Thursday we welcome the Super Full Moon in Capricorn.

As Forever shares: “There is a duality to the energies we feel on this June Full Moon. We may not know if we are coming or going or exactly what to feel, or how to progress. That is the nature of this Full Moon. It brings wildcard energy, stirring things until we are unable to see clearly ahead. It does not do this to annoy, but rather to get us to slow down and see things from a different vantage point.

When the dust finally settles and the room stops spinning, we can see where we have landed. We can also see what has been broken during our spin and what has stood the test of time.

Capricorn energy supports us in creating a life with a strong and solid foundation. Capricorn energy naturally nurtures things that are designed to stand the test of time, so we may find ourselves naturally drawn to focus on these aspects of our lives.”

Isn’t this great?

June has the energy of Shake Up, we have the Solstice energy of Lighting Our Inner Fire, and the Super Full Moon asks us to work with all of those and create a life with a strong and solid foundation! I so love how this all weaves together.

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the guides and cards to ask who was willing to support and guide this week – there was no choice whatsoever. Isis Oracle were adamant and if you think about it – that’s no surprise.

Now if you don’t know these amazing guides, please let me introduce you. 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.”

Yes!!!!!!! “Shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.”

Okay delicious lovely, let’s just settle for a moment shall we? Just breathe yourself back into your body, calling back any pieces that you have left lying around during the day or the week. Breathe long and deep and allow in your mind’s eye the energy of the sun to fill you, to pour liquid gold energy through you – soothing, nourishing and cleansing.

When you feel relaxed and ready, pick the card or cards that whisper to your wise self, your radiant self, your powerful self.

Did you remember to pick?

Come take a look.

DIVINE GUARDIAN

Protection of the Winged Mother

You are venturing through a time of significant spiritual growth and healing. There are many changes occurring internally and they will be reflected in your external world soon also. You are protected during these times by the love and strength of the Winged Mother, Lady Isis. You can relax and allow your transformation to happen. Let your Divine Guardian protect you now, as you learn to let go and trust in your own unfoldent for the greatest good.

Big spiritual growth can bring difficult challenges. Through such challenges, an Initiate can gain wisdom, power and awareness, and leave behind fears that once held them captive, free from past restrictions, free to live a life that is truly extraordinary and inspirational. Yet the challenges can feel deeply confronting. The Initiate may be tested to stay true to their own beliefs even if their loved ones do not understand or support them. Or they may be required to let go of what they have known to embrace something completely unfamiliar and this may be uncomfortable for them, and they may fear losing support, safety or friendship as they venture into a new life.

You have been receiving impressions and inner nudges that are from your higher guidance, which has been helping you with situations that are currently unfolding in your life and will continue to do so. You are, spiritually speaking, on the right track. Life does not have to be fixed or even clear at all times in order for you to be safe. Isis is with you. All is well.

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.

Letting the Divine Feminine nourish you now into new relationships, collaborations, community and friendships is very wise. There are many souls with whom you have spiritual contracts decided upon before you were born who wish to help you, and whom you can help too, as you grow together in peace and light and wisdom. Your light has value on its own of course but it is also of deep service when it is visible to others, lighting the way.

Mother Isis says that there is so much light awakening within our planet, and so much spiritual light gifted to Earth from celestial beings at this time, that it makes sense to build a large enough container to receive it. If you had enough electricity to power a city, you wouldn’t try to fit it in one house. Likewise, with all this spiritual electricity becoming available on the EArth, groups are needed to help it to circulate and flow.

If you accept all of this but still cannot find your spiritual home here, and have been wondering where your community is, you are not alone! They are looking for you too! Say ‘yes’ to opportunities to meet like-minded people and let Isis guide you through circumstances, opportunities and spontaneous moments as you and your beloved sisters and brothers find each other together for group benefit. 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 your heart.

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 urging 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.

Those are some deliciously powerful messages! How did the card you picked resonate for you? Have a stupendous week, delicious lovely. Allow the energy of the sun to ignite your inner fire, use the energy of the Super Full Moon to ground you and most of all have fun! (Life is so much better when we remember to play!) Don’t forget the Solstice reading special runs for a week and the Book of Summer Solstice is still available to you. Big hugs and squeezes and flowers galore!

Solstice, The Great Conjunction, Doors are Closing, And the last Reading of the Year.

Jenny Heston · 12:09 am ·

Happy Magnetic,Magickal, Marvelous, Musing, Merry, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!!!!!!!!

It’s Solstice, it’s Solstice, it’s Solstice! (Can you tell I am uber excited?) Saturday morning I spent time making lovely decorations for the animals that are deliciously edible if you are a bird, racoon, deer etc. So today is off to the woods to hang them all and then some glorious rituals, fire, frankincense, myrrh and dragon blood to welcome back the sun.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments on the Book of Shadows, I am tickled to hear how much you have been enjoying it – and it will take you from Solstice all the way through to the New Year. Also, huge thanks for the comments on the Solstice visualisation, that was such a fun one to do and figuring out how to add music to it was a delightful opportunity for growth!

A few have asked if the doors to Creatrix Circle are closing – Yes. They will close Wednesday at midnight and open again in March. Thus, if you want to surround yourself with an amazing tribe, start deepening into yourself, come and join – we would love to have you.

So here we have The Great Conjunction (which we have been touching on for the last couple of weeks). There are so many things to say about this epic moment, and of course it seems rather typical to have another “different and altering” experience to close off 2020, wouldn’t you agree?

With this Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn we head into a new element (that of Air) and what is referred to as The Age of Aquarius. As Forever shares:-

Aquarius energy allows us to focus on what is good for the whole. Rather than focusing solely on our own needs and wants, we are able to see that we are all connected and that we all need to come together in order to create a better world.

When this energy is in balance, it allows us to create a more peaceful and compassionate world where we are able to put ourselves in the shoes of others, where we are able to create supportive and loving communities, and where we are able to work together and share common goals.

This is the Age of Aquarius utopia that has been sung about and talked about for decades. This is the better life we can envisage for ourselves, where we are all honored for our individual spark but then also connected and working together as a whole and for the greater good.

Both Jupiter and Saturn coming together in this conjunction is like the Lord of Karma meeting the planet of expansion. Here, Jupiter is able to shine a light on all of our Saturn lessons. It is able to soften them, make us see them with more clarity, but also in many ways, expand them.

As the Jupiter Saturn conjunction is so pivotal, this energy affects us on a global level too. It is almost like Earth is waking up to its karma. In many ways, our entire planet is advancing to a new level and looking for debts to be paid.

Whatever our collective Earth karma is, this Great Conjunction has arrived to set things into balance.

This in turn is a delicious invitation to all of us to look at this time to see what in our own lives, families, communities and work needs to be brought into balance. Then when this is uncovered, taking new seeds and planting them in the warm darkness of this Solstice time, to create and weave something new.

I have been saying all year – we are all in this together and what is no longer true or authentic has to fall away. This is the time of the collective, connection, collaboration and creating something new! Whoot! (So excited!)

Which makes this the last reading of 2020. As I am now doing what I am told, lol (yeah it happens sometimes), and taking this time to rest, be still, create and listen. So I will be back in the New Year-ish.

Okay, enough chuntering away. This week we have fantabulous new guides to support us. When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share, I was tickled pink to see the guides that were adamant, they have never shown up publicly before, but they were super clear it was their time. So please let me introduce you to the amazing Fairy Blessing Guides.

Faeries are present in every droplet of water, every blade of grass – they are everywhere there is a trace of nature – thus every field, flower, and forest is theirs. They inhabit the wild rainforests and the old castles; they dance within standing stones and burial mounds; they are on the top of mountains and within the grove deep in the valley; and they appear in the cracks in the pavement and beneath the cities in the old, tangled tree roots. Faeries are part of this world, and they were here before we were born into this world, and they know us better than we know ourselves.

For humans, many of us have lost our sense of play, our sense of relationship with nature, our courage to be ourselves – as well as our hope, creativity, and personal power. We have looked outside of ourselves and nature and the sacred ones for answers, and in doing so, we have become quite lost. The blessings of the faeries can bring us back into relationship with ourselves, back into relationship with the elements and the elementals, so that we can become more at home within the world, while creating a personal world which supports our dreams, our wishes, and our purpose.

Yes! Perfect guides for today and this time! As always remember, when you receive a blessing you offer a blessing.

So gorgeous one, breathe, breathe yourself here to this present moment. This is the only moment that matters. As your breath gently slows I invite you to ask the question – what needs to come into balance for me? No judgement, no pushing. Just allow it to flow up with ease and gentleness and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

If you really want to go deep you might want to grab the Solstice Visualisation.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see.

A BLESSING OF THE SHINING ONES

The Faery gift so that you, too, shine with an inner radiance.

Let this gift from the Shining Ones bring you blessings of your own abilities to shine the world, beloved one.

You are now given the gift from the realm where once the great Tuatha de Danann, the People of the Land, of the goddess Danu, the old faerie tribes of ancient Ireland, ruled and kept the balance of all things.

They bless you now with the gift you need most at this time. Simply close your eyes for a moment, and see the glow, the radiance emitted by the energy within and all around you.

Now, see that shining self begin to grow stronger, and larger, and more visible to your spirit eyes.

With this gift, your radiance is strengthened, so that now you shine within the world, and can be seen, recognised, and offered good fortune and bounty. Your light is a lamp for the world, and it is beautiful to behold.

This time will bring unexpected kindnesses and easeful movement in achieving goals that are best for your soul, as well as a sense of being recognised and cared for by those who have that touch of shining blood within them, too.

Blessings of the Shining Ones, to you, friend.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING OF STABILITY

The Faery gift of a balance and home that can be found within yourself.

Accept now, faery friend, this blessing of the fae, the ability to find balance, a centre, a home from which strength can spring forth. They who cannot be parted from the land, who resist all who attempt to banish them, who dwell between the worlds, now offer you this gift of balance and stability.

When this gift comes to you, you will be as centred and balanced as the land, with a sense of deep belonging and love of where you are, and a feeling of your home being the safe, joyous, and fulfilling place it can be. When this blessing comes to you, there will be great balance, as you will be connected to the terrestrial, and to the celestial. When this blessing comes, you will find you have the influence and the ability to create what you need within your home and heart, and you will be able to resist any who oppose you or do not understand you.

With this gift comes the ability to find the right location for you, the place within the world where you are meant to be at this moment, and to know that it is destiny at play.

You are of the earth and the stars, faery friend. You are finding your own domain, and you will be blessed with a home that is your own, with a stability and balance within that space, and you will celebrate just who you are, without fear of discrimination or misunderstanding. Healthy relationships can be yours when this blessing comes to you, and strength, power, and influence are yours when this gift is made yours.

Be blessed, friend, with the gifts of the faeries, and know that you will find the place you belong in this world.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING OF A HEALING

The faery gift of a situation or condition being healed in a beautiful way.

To you now is offered the immense faery gift of healing. Faeries heal – they tend to and care for the wounded parts of human hearts and bodies and minds, they care for animals who are unwell and delicate, and they tend the plant world and the allies of the elemental realm. Faeries and their gift of healing is yours now – bring to them your hurts, concerns, and sorrows.

They will help to heal you by sending you sweet, intense charges of energy. They will heal you by bringing to you the plants and the animals and the natural spaces and places that can bring you to a better state.

There is no obligation with this energy; it is pure, and safe, and fresh as spring water or wild strawberries. Let their light now shine upon you, and move to whatever part of you is in most need of comfort and strength. Let the old hurts or pains and challenges be offered the gift of faery help and healing. Let whatever load it is you have carried be lightened with their love. Let there be harmony within your form. Let the healing energy that moves through all the natural world, and is concentrated in abundance within the faeries and their medicine, move to you, through you, leaving you relieved, soothed, healed, and replenished.

Let hurts fade away, and let hope and healing rise again. The faeries are there to assist you, friend. Let the faery gift of healing be yours this day.

BLESSED BE

Woosah! Breathe in the Blessing, offer a Blessing. So most gorgeous one, I wish for you stillness, joy and ease. May your sleep be peaceful and your day be filled with joy and connection. And I will see you in 2021! Big Blessings, Hugs and Squeezes.
