Can Joy and Grief Happen Together? The Aquarius Super Moon!

· ·

Happy Motivational, Magnanimous, Melodious, Mirthful, Magical, Marvellous, Muliebrity, Manifesting Monday!

I laughed so frigging hard last week as I used the word “Moist” in the greeting and I had quite a few people email in saying – ewwwww!  

I don’t know about you, but if someone offers me “a muffin” or “a moist muffin”, I know which one I’m grabbing and snarfling down.  Moist all the way baby!

This is probably the last reading until September as all sorts of wonderful shifts, creation and changes are happening in the background and so I’m being guided to focus there.

So if you want to keep up to date with all the new things are going to be happening and all the yumminess – make sure you are part of our email community!

Okay my darlings with July coming to a close we are going to explore Joy and Grief and the first of the two Super Moons of August.  Are you ready?  You comfie and settled?

Before we start, let me ask a question (actually two).  

What does Joy feel like for you?  What are the sensations and where does it sit in your body?

What does Grief feel like for you?  What are the sensations that flood up and where does it sit in your body?

Both Joy and Grief are strong emotions and they land in the body and the psyche in different ways, but they are both intense, oftentimes overwhelming and in your face.  

Now you may be thinking to yourself – mmmm, Jenny WTF, but be willing to dance with me, okay?

I wear multiple hats in my work and I love all of them as they blend deliciously together and all interweave.

Therapist, Coach, Spiritual Counsellor, Lay Chaplain, Witch, Business Owner.  

This last couple of weeks in my Lay Chaplain role I have had the honour and delight of co-creating three radically different wedding ceremonies for 3 radically different couples.  

Weddings are joyful, right?  They are filled with promise, hope, commitment and love.  Yet interestingly enough, all of these couples are having to learn how to juggle both Grief and Joy at the same time.

One couple, the bride to be, is having to put her best friend and most amazing cat of 18 years down, two weeks before the ceremony.  

The second couple, the bride’s father, died suddenly in November, her touchstone in her family of origin. And a few weeks prior to the ceremony she had to drive for 3 days with her young son to scatter his ashes where his father and brother were scattered.  

The third couple, the groom, found out that his stalwart and supportive mother has an incurable disease and may not even be alive for their ceremony.

On a personal note I have found this “most interesting” as with it being July I am feeling a lot of grief as this week is my glorious big sister Fi’s birthday and next Monday is the anniversary of her death day.  

Yet there is Joy in helping co-create glorious meaningful moments for these amazing couples, as well as holding the space and fully understanding the grief they are feeling.

There is also the balance of Joy and Grief for myself as my wonderful brother in law will be here from the UK in a few weeks and we are going to scatter my sister’s ashes in the creek where my father’s ashes went and in the ocean.

So dear one, remember if you are juggling Joy and Grief it’s important to first face the complexity of the situation. Identify those bitter-sweet emotions of losing a cherished loved while at the same time appreciating the value of life, the joy.

And let’s be honest, it’s normal and common to hold opposing feelings at the same time, oftentimes with feelings that are layered with contradictions.

Despite being seemingly opposite emotions, joy and grief are interconnected aspects of the human experience. Both play essential roles in shaping our emotional landscape and influencing our interactions with the world around us.

Remind yourself, it’s okay and It takes practice to learn how to let seeming opposites coexist within us. 

So let’s talk about the Aquarius SuperMoon that arrives on August 1st, which brings up these emotions as well!

(Aren’t you thrilled!)

This is the first of 2 Full Moons in August, as a lunar cycle is 29.5 days, this means we are set for another Full Moon on August 30th, a Blue Moon in the sign of Pisces.

Both of these Full Moons will be Super Moons, meaning they will be closer to Earth, and we will feel their effects more strongly.

Having two Full Super Moons in the same month indicates a strong pull to release, detox, let go, and walk away from all that is no longer resonant with our being.  

So what does that look like for  you?

The Aquarius Full Moon on August 1st is the perfect entrance point to this journey of creating space. It holds a sweet, healing vibration, guiding us to gently and lovingly prepare to let go of all that is heavy.

We may find painful emotions, heartbreaks, grief, and disappointments rising to the surface. 

Many of you have shared that the energy has felt very emotional, deep and at some points overwhelming.  

Writing things out on paper, talking things through with a friend, seeking help, or simply taking the time to have a conversation with our mental chatter can bring some relief.

This is the time to ground, be gentle with your gorgeous self and just allow all the feels to flood up and use some of the techniques above, don’t keep the feels locked in your heart, body or mind, okay?

Let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

When I asked the guides who they wanted to use to share with you this week, they chose these glorious guides.

So darling one, just take a moment and breathe.  If you are holding any heaviness, allow it to soften as you breathe.  If you are feeling in need of support and love, hold those energies in your mind’s eye and invite them in, along with Joy.  The Joy of being here in this moment, the Joy of breathing, the Joy of the sun filtering through the leaves of the trees where you live.

With that energy swirling.  Take another deep breath and pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look…..

AWAKENING ANCIENT WISDOM

Deep inner knowing is emerging within me.

The Universe wants you to know that the wisdom of your ancestors, your predecessors and all of history exists deep within you.  

Whether you realise it or not an inner portal is opening as this sacred information pours into your consciousness.

You have always possessed innate knowledge, but at this juncture, simply by being still, you are able to access it with even greater perception.

Profound enlightenment is growing within you, even if you are not aware of it.

Trust and know that within you is a deep wise being, and your wisdom is supportive and helpful to others – even if you are questioning whether to share it.  

Pay attention to the coincidences, signs, and synchronicities around you.  

To understand a dream, sign, or synchronistic event, ask yourself:  If this symbolised a message from the Ancients, what would it be?  How can I access even more wisdom within myself?  How can the wisdom of the past help my present and my future?

SHARING OF YOURSELF

I am an incredibly generous being.

You are being invited to share from the depths of your soul.

Allow others to see your essence and feel your radiance.  If you give with the thought that it’s something you must do as a duty or sacrifice, you may feel depleted.

However, if you give with the belief that there’s no scarcity of energy, funds, or joy, the Universe will pour an abundance of these things into your life.

Don’t expect to receive something in return – rather, be generous just because it feels right.

You can only give as much as your capacity to receive, so open yourself to receiving even more!

Share who you are with others.  Give what you have, what you do, and who you are.  

The more freely and fully you share of yourself, the more freely and fully the Universe will give to you.  

Ask yourself: How can I give even more?  What is stopping the flow within my life?  What could occur in my life if I gave without reservation?

EMERGING INTO GRACE

I open my soul to grace.

In the stillness of retreat, the gifts of Spirit will emerge at your feet.

In gratitude and thankfulness, an opening into the deepest spiritual realms is waiting for you.

Simply be ready and be open, as waves of sacred love will pour into your heart.

Allow Grace to grow within you so that, more and more, you serve as a safe sanctuary for yourself and for others.

Please remember that all is well.  You can relax and let go, for  your path is divinely guided and you don’t need to push, struggle or go it alone.

If you allow, gifts from the Creatrix will pour into your life.  Gratitude can abound.  

A spirit of Grace will unfold in your life.

Ask yourself: How does the spirit of grace want to work in my life?  What has blocked it from filling my life in the past?  If I truly let go and open myself to grace, what will unfold?

Mmmm, great questions, great guidance.  So my delicious one, as we close out the month of July I wish you calm, joy and balance.  As we encounter the first Full Moon of August I wish for you to release the weight you feel the need to carry, whether it is mental, emotional, spiritual, or physical.  

I am going to take some time and space for the next month to honour my sister, visit with my brother in law, and how I work is changing. Gosh, I have been doing these readings for 10 years! So if you want to be kept updated on what‘s being created (which is fabulous), make sure you are on our glorious email community list.

So I will see you in September! (Unless my guides are adamant I do a reading!  Lol).  

Massive hugs and squeezes gorgeous ones.  

Pride and Prejudice! Welcome to July.

Happy Magickal, Mythical, Moxie, Melodious, Marvellous, Magnetic, Mirthy, Manifesting Monday!

How was your long weekend (if you were in a country that had one?)

I did go and participate in some of the Canada Day celebrations, but I will say hanging out with 10,000 people is very short lived for me.  Let alone with the heat!  So I retreated to the garden to rest, relax and play.  It was perfect.

Here, in the city where I live, we have had Pride month and it culminated with a fantabulous parade yesterday!  

I have to say I love Pride month, a time to celebrate the diversity of the human package that we come in.  As an ally I honour each person’s right to choose who they are, how they identify and whom they choose to love.  

When I was a teen in Oxford, most of my closest friends were people who were a good 15 years older than me, and were gay men.  Gosh!  I had so much fun, I learned a lot and I always felt safe, loved and appreciated.  

There was a lovely chap called Gaz who was an incredible illustrator and would create the most magickal, whimsical imagery for children’s books and he would share the most amazing stories.   He was a very special person.  

Last year I helped run a booth, because as a lay chaplain and someone who performs ceremonies, rituals, weddings and funerals it felt important to share that diversity and inclusivity were welcome.

I dressed as a glorious butterfly, thanks to my amazing niece who has a tickle trunk of costumes and odds and bits, and had the most amazing connections and conversations!

This year, I helped carry a 50 foot long Pride Flag and showed up as a dark faery, armed with bubble wands galore!  Again, great conversations, connections and lots of joy and laughter.

So I will say the people who came out to heckle the parade, or the ones that sabotaged some of the pride banners that the city had painted and created on the walkways, really?

I appreciate there are some people who don’t “approve” of diversity, inclusiveness and want everyone to conform to their ideal and opinion.

But in my world – everyone has an opinion, just like an arsehole.  

Doesn’t mean I want to hear it, smell it or see it!  (Just saying!)

I hope we get to a place and time where we can include and accept everyone, with no regards to colour, gender, identity, religious beliefs and so much more.  That would be an amazing healing for the human race and to be honest, our planet.  

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.   These new guides were adamant they wanted to support.

So as these are new guides, please let me introduce you.

Faeries are magical beings who are guardians and protectors of our precious planet.  They care for plants, flowers and trees, and us daft humans.  They want everyone to experience their ancient wisdom and to feel reconnected to the Earth, our home, and to self.  

The faeries are delighted to spiritually support and encourage you on this fantastic journey as you walk upon the faery path.  And they remind you – there’s more to life than what you can see with your physical eyes.  

Okay sweetie, let’s take a moment to drop in.  Take a glorious deep breath out and allow the energy that you have been holding in your lungs to expel.  Then take a glorious deep breath in and invite in the energy of inclusivity, what does that feel like for you?  Let that energy meld into your heart space and gently open.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

HEALING

Healing can take many forms, even just through listening – when we feel we’re being heard it can make us feel better, so people who have the ability to listen with love and without judgement are already healers.

Sometimes just being in the presence of someone who is receptive to our thoughts and feelings can help us to feel uplifted and healed.

Do you feel you are able and willing to give this healing?

Hands-on healing is a technique many feel drawn to, and perhaps this is something you, too, wish to explore.  Are you in need of healing yourself?  Is there something that you are pushing through “because it’s expected?”

It’s important to listen to your body, mind and soul and take time out so it can heal naturally.  Make sure you’re getting all of the correct vitamins and nutrients.  And remember sleep can also be an amazing healer.

Explore healing therapies that may be new to you, such as aromatherapy, flower essences, hands on healing, art therapy, colour therapy – whatever piques your interest.

Believe and trust that you have the capacity to heal yourself and others.  Explore and embrace that piece of yourself and allow it to flow.

HOPE

Hope is the key to the door that can lead you away from any predicament you are in.  

No matter how hopeless things may seem, if you look deep inside your heart your spiritual heart wisdom will reveal a glimmer of hope, and this can lead you to a brighter future.  

This gorgeous faery reminds us to always tap into hope, because looking for hope and joy and changing your beliefs can literally change your future.

As you can see on the card a rainbow and a dove of peace are shown and they often come together reminding us that anything is possible.  Sometimes we just need an extra boost, so the faeries fly in on the wings of a dove to let us know that they’re with you with any difficulties you are experiencing.

Remaining hopeful while those around you are full of doubt and negativity can be extra challenging, but remember that hope comes from deep within our hearts and is an excellent habit to cultivate.

Heart wisdom and hope will see you through whatever is going on for you and those around you right now, so have courage and trust as the Faery of Hope walks hand in hand with peace and miracles.

NATURE’S SIGNS

The faeries love to leave hints and clues for us in nature. It’s one of the many creative ways in which they initiate communication with us.  

For example, faeries often leave feathers or release floating dandelion seeds to let us know they’re nearby.  The appearance of a friendly bird, such as a robin, is another message that they are close by.

Faeries and other creatures often work together as they’re all in harmony with the Earth, whose wisdom can come in many forms.  Just allow yourself to be receptive and use your intuition to decipher any signs that you see.  

If possible, sit next to a flowing stream and visualise your cares being resolved and any concerns flowing away.  Alternatively, imagine your hopes and wishes flowing towards you, looking out for any significant signs from nature as you do so.  

You could also leave your own sign for the faeries next time you’re out in nature, letting them know  you wish to connect with them.  Leaving a tiny wooden fairy door next to a tree is a sure sign to the fey that you’re a faery friend.  

The faeries will pick up on your intentions and help to manifest them.  If you don’t have access to a stream, it can be just as effective to visualise the process.  

Those are some gorgeous delicious messages!  How did the card you picked resonate for you? Have a stupendous week, delicious lovely.  Remember to breathe and to celebrate your diverse unique self! And most of all have fun!  (Life is so much better when we remember to play!)   Big hugs and squeezes and bubbles galore!  

5 Questions to Ask Yourself on Beltane

· ·

Beltane is a time to celebrate all the pleasures in being alive.

Your busy, I know, we all are – it’s a cultural thing, lol.

But to take time to absorb the energies of the celebrations, to explore yourself is powerful!

And it makes your soul really happy!

So grab your journal & spend some time in self-reflection at this powerful seasonal time.

Here are  some wonderful questions to ask yourself at this time of year …

  • 1. What is bringing you great joy right now?
  • 2. What currently lights your spirit up? What do you feel inspired to devote your spring energy toward?
  • 3. Do you feel connected with your sexual energy? Do you connect with that side of yourself? How can you connect more deeply with that part of you?
  • 4. What parts of yourself do you feel most confident about? Where do you need to boost your self-confidence?
  • 5. What intentions do you want to plant for the coming weeks & months? What do you hope to grow in your life? What do you want to harvest in the fall?

2023 is Here and this 7 year invites you to Resonate, Discern and Align.

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Magnificent, Majestic, Meaningful, Miraculous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you most delicious lovely?  It feels like we haven’t connected for ages, but in reflection it has only been a few weeks!  I had such great plans of taking a few weeks of winter hibernation to relax, play, create – however, I obviously didn’t phrase it correctly as I kept saying “I want two weeks off to sleep, read and do nothing.” So the Divine, with their gorgeous sense of humour gave me an upper respiratory thing that kicked my arse!

Remember kids – words have power. Intentions have even more power!

Welcome to January 2023.  I don’t know about you but the first week of January has felt a month long!

I will say that this Gregorian Calendar of “It’s a New Year ” puts a lot of expectations on people, and they are normally negative ones.  Which thoroughly irritates me, as it is something that is pushed in the media, magazines, our collective culture.  

 If someone else asks me what my resolutions are I may bop them on the nose – as I don’t believe in them!

To me, resolutions are made because – “everyone does this”,  we should all make resolutions as it’s a New Year.  Mmmmmm, having done them for years (because that was expected), they are normally based on fixing something about oneself or not feeling enough.  

An example.  As someone who used to go to the gym daily, I would see people flood in at the beginning of January with the resolution of “I have to get fit and buff”.  Mmmm, okay.  By early February you never saw them again.

Why?

Because the intention wasn’t based on the energies that are in play, nor in how they wanted to feel.

So let’s look at 2023. In Numerology this coming year is a 7 year.

7 is the number of soul searching and really connecting our higher self to our earthly plane.

It’s the year for tuning into your soul, your heart, your wise inner self and tuning out the noise of the world.  

This year will be rich in spiritual lessons and change will be immense (we have Saturn, Jupiter and most importantly – Pluto moving!)  And as the saying goes – when Pluto changes signs, all sorts of things change.  

So this is where the invitation for you is to really tune in, revise, re-vision and re-think (or re-feel) into what is in your best and highest good.

The words that come up strongly are: Resonate, Discern and Align.

So ask yourself these questions:

What does your soul want you to share with you?

What would it feel like to move in the world from a place of ease, alignment and to really thrive?

How do you want to make your mark in the world?

Last but not least, How do you want to live?

(So there is some musing for you to play with!)

Okay, enough chuntering – let’s crack on with the reading.  The cards that flew out and at me this week  are the amazing Divine Circus Oracle, which made me laugh my soxs off – as the world does feel like that right now, circus like.  

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

“What is life if not a Divine Circus?  Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us  moments earlier.  Life is magical, thrilling, sometimes strange and even scary.  It can inspire you and touch your soul, inviting you to discover the unique magic within you, to dare to live it, to express it, to play with possibilities and embrace what sets you apart from the crowd. “

Thus, I invite you to breathe and just BE with your gorgeous self here at this moment.  Take a few lovely, rich, nourishing breaths and let the cares of the moment slide off like wee little raindrops.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

If you need some help and support releasing the “shoulds”, the weight of energy around you I have a lovely guided visualisation for you.  It’s fun, we are going on a yomp and an explore!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look at the first guides of 2023.

JOKER IS WILD

The Universe has a sense of humour, but never at your expense.  It is laughing with you, not at you.  You’ll see this for yourself as the Joker weaves her magic in your life, bringing you the grace that is beyond all reason, the necessary ingredient to ensure you win with the hand you have been dealt by life.  There’s nothing impossible when the Joker appears.  Her wild ways can transform a losing streak into a lifelong love affair with Lady Luck.

Strap yourself in and prepare for the ride of a lifetime.  The Joker has come to you and the Joker is wild.  Unpredictable and brilliant, she brings you a message.  You are being empowered to overcome all odds.  So you are going to win.  No doubts, no dramas, but not necessarily in a way that you expect either!  She is sending the best possible situation to you even now.  It might startle you, like a sudden light in the middle of the night, but it will be welcome nonetheless.

The Joker is the highest trump card to beat all others.  No matter how much another may seem to have the upper hand, or how many forces seem to be against you, even if you feel like a lone wolf about to be mauled by a pack of hungry lions, the Joker always wins.  She comes out of the blue, and changes destiny from darkness to light.  She brings the brilliant solution that ends a problem, the way through that is best and brightest.  

You probably won’t see it coming.  It will probably be in a way that subverts everything you once believed to be true.  But it will be a welcome trick by the Universe, a loving joke that opens your heart and helps you realise that this vast impersonal universe personally knows and cares for you, so intimately and with such meticulous care.  Just don’t expect to feel in control of the process, for the Joker is wild and moves according to her own genius, but always blesses you with what will work best, beyond compare, now and always.  

RED COUNTESS

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

Can you trust that it is safe to not only hear your inner voice but act on it too?

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

Give your truths value.  Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense.  Know that they’re worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying.  

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

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

SILVER SIREN

When is an enchantment not enchanting?  When it is a spell that you allow to consume your free will, even as it promises so much and yet delivers so little.  The Silver Siren sings her song, a pretty poison to the soul.  Her false allure tempts the mind, even whilst the heart feels that something is not quite right. 

Your power will come from discerning the truth and allowing her false promises no place in your heart.

If you compromise your integrity you will find that what you have obtained was not worth the price you paid for it, no matter how much you believed it would be otherwise.  It simply will not be worthwhile. 

The Silver Siren is a false light that is so very enticing but so destroying.  To disempower the false light, you must stay true to what your heart says.  No matter how much you may fear you’ll regret it later on, simply say no to that which is unworthy, to that which does not hold the truth of love within.  Even if a person declares that they are utterly enlightened and only interested in your highest good; even if the opportunity at hand is “too good to miss”, making your mind needy and confused, follow your heart – if it’s not a Hell Yes, it’s a NO!

You are being given an opportunity for empowerment.  It is time to trust yourself and stand firm with your truths, and to experience the priceless sense of love, safety, security, peace and self-possession that this brings.  With this, your soul can sing its own song, a song that shares true light, the lightness of a heart that lives in peaceful truth with the world.

Holy Hannah, you can’t make this shit up! 

What fabulous guides to kick us off in January.  

Take time this week to really FEEL into what you want to experience this year, and how you want to ALIGN with it.  Big hugs and squeezes, and see you next week.  

The Moon is Filling, The Veil is Thinning, Samhain is Coming and the Doors are Opening!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Misty, Mizzly, Magnificent, Musical, Manifesting Monday!

Oh my gosh, so many things to share and explore this week!  Whoot!  

First things first, for all of you who have emailed asking if there is going to be a Magikal Manual for Samhain (Halloween), you bet!  It was meant to be ready today, however, with a delicious bout of food poisoning over the weekend, things got a bit waylaid, lol!  So it should be out later this week!

And for all of you asking when the doors of Creatrix Circle are opening – later this week, in time for our wonderful Samhain gathering.

On Wednesday we welcome in the delicious Full Moon in Aries, aka The Hunter Moon.  

The energy of this Full Moon is deep and intense, but they offer us some wisdom, healing, and insights too, tying in with the veil thinning and Samhain coming.  

As Forever shares: This configuration of energy can create a building of tension, but sometimes we need tension in order to inspire action.

Sometimes, it takes feeling stretched to your limits in order to put your foot down, speak your truth, set boundaries, and act, in an effort to change your situation.

The spiritual meaning of this Hunter Moon is focused on internal work and self-reflection. So begins the dark half of the year. Accept and welcome the darkness with open arms and spirit.

It’s a moment to look back in history to our ancestors and the lessons they can teach us. 

It’s a wonderful time for gratitude and appreciation for what Nature has given us. You can feel the magical energy in the air right now as the veil grows thin and the ability to communicate with our ancestors or loved one’s increases. It’s an opportunity for spiritual growth and goal setting.

Now is the season for deep internal work and journaling or working in your BOS can be really beneficial. Don’t be afraid to look into that darkness inside of you and figure out what it wants to show you about who you are!

No judgment, be as kind to yourself as you would a loved one! There is so much happiness and magick to be found in the darkness and gloom.

Take some time on Wednesday, light a candle, cleanse your crystals, make moon water – or just sit and reflect on your ancestors, the gratitude that fills your heart and what wants to be found in the warm, welcoming dark.  

So what does it mean when someone says The Veil is Thinning?  Tess very kindly shares some amazing insight for you.  

Let’s begin this exploration by considering that on one level, we are each separate beings with our finite little lives. But on a truer level, we are each infinite and eternal. We have no beginning and no end. And we are one with each other and every single thing.

At Samhain, that relentless, all-pervasive Mystery is as close as it ever gets. And now we’ve arrived at what we mean when we say “the veil is thin.” 

You might say the veil is the place where the everyday illusion of separation brushes up against the divine truth of eternity and universal interconnection. The place where form meets spirit, seen meets unseen, known meets unknown.

When we meditate or perform ritual, or when we have a mystical experience of any variety, this curtain parts and we are able to gaze into the place of power, the place between the worlds.

Why does the veil thin throughout October, and particularly at Samhain? 

Because the days are getting shorter and the natural world is preparing to temporarily withdraw from the realm of life and growth. The harvest cycle is waning, but it’s not gone. 

This means Samhain is a transition: a doorway between the season of life and the season of death. Beneath this realm of constant change, there is a wide open space of eternity. A place of stillness in which the appearance of change arises. A serene openness to which we will always return, and with which we are one, even at this very moment.

Do you see how it all ties together?  The Moon, The Veil, Samhain, Nature – all of it?  And think, you are a beautiful thread in this amazing tapestry!

Okay, enough chuntering on let’s crack on with the reading!  When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide, heal and support this week I was delighted to see that The Spirit of the Animals Oracle chose to shine.  

So in case you may have never met them, let me introduce you.  “Animal Medicine, Animal Totems, and Animal Mascots have had cultural significance throughout our history.  Europeans adopted animals as tribal symbols that were later incorporated into crests for nations.  China has an animal associated with every birthday.  The Romans celebrated the eagle as the symbol for the empire.  Our ancestors observed the appearance of animals as omens and signs.  Shamans and mystics rely on spirit animal helpers.  Native Americans have vision quests to discover their personal animal totem.  School sports teams choose animal mascots.  It is no wonder that the interest in animals as emblems and how they relate to us still persists.  Animals as symbols live in our deepest memory.”

Wonderful!  So my darling one just settle in.  Allow your breath to bring you back into your body and call back all the pieces of you that you may have left in various places throughout the last week.  Just breathe them all back to your core, like welcoming in little sparks of starlight.  

To help you with this, there’s a lovely guided visualisation where we shall go for a little walk together, yes?

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

LIZARD

Lizard is an Ancient One.  They are reptiles from an older time.  Their quick action and quirky maneuvers outwit and confuse their adversaries.  Lizards survive.

Lizard is sometimes called the “little dragon”.  Lizard medicine has the power of regeneration and transformation.  Lizards can shed their skin, their tail, let go of the past and step into a positive future.  Lizard people know they can survive anything and heal against incredible odds.  They are powerful dreamers and should pay attention to messages that come from their subconscious.  You can receive warnings that will help you avoid pitfalls.

If Lizard has chosen you, you have the “little dragon” within.  Dragons are those who are free of the limitations of the past and transform into greater awareness of self and personal power.  With Lizard medicine, you can transcend injury and hardship.  Lizard people re-grow and renew themselves into wholeness.

As a survivor you are unparalleled,

No matter what happens you can adapt.

Embrace your transformation.

Put on your new cloak,

You are a master of regeneration.  

PEACOCK

The Peacock is the most iridescent of all birds.  Their feathered cloak of blue, aqua and gold is worthy of royalty.  Their boisterous cries hold both mockery and laughter, which comes from their regal self-confidence.  Peacocks are blessed with clear vision that notices the smallest detail.  Because of their ability to eat poisonous snakes, Peacocks we4r4 used as protectors in ancient temples.  If Peacock appears good luck will follow.  The feathers of Peacock are symbols for protection, prosperity and sensuality.  The Peacock is a symbol for rebirth and new beginning like its cousin the esuvie Phoenix.

If Peacock has walked into your life you have a colourful and vibrant personality that is sure to win admirers.  You can raise yourself to great heights of brilliance in your field.  Peacock people have the gift of observation and kenn perception.  Your inner vision brings you wisdom and foresight.  You must guard against letting your vanity or pride get the better of you.  The best Peacocks are just their authentic selves.  Your positivity and radiance helps lift others up to realise their own worth.

You were born to shine and inspire.

Practice humility to avoid jealousy.

Be grateful for life

And more good things will come.

Be true to yourself and 

Recognise your brilliance.  

OWL

Owl is the messenger and revealer of secrets.  The totem of oracles and seers, Owl sits on their shoulder and is their advisor  When Owl flies into your life know that a time of unveiling is at hand and the truth will be made known.  Change is in the wind.  Owl medicine can help you release the past and fly into a better future.  Owls are creatures of the night.  Their silent flight and superior vision make them supreme hunters.  They capture the prize.  If they cross your path repeatedly it is a warning to review your situation and see where deception is lurking.  To see an owl can be an omen that a profound change is coming.

If Owl is your totem you are an Old Soul.  You succeed with wisdom.  No one can deceive you and you see into others’ souls.  Be sure to keep your knowledge secret unless asked to provide counsel.  Trust should not be broken.  Ask your Owl totem to sit on your shoulder and guide you.  Become the conscious student of Owl.  Embrace your gifts and fly with the  masters

Choose to know the truth because you can.

Open your inner vision.

You can see through deception.

Let the past go and make room for a better life.
