Spiritual Support

Can you Feel the Shift in the Air? What does the Blue Sturgeon Moon ask of you?

Happy Magickal, Miraculous, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday! How are you? We are already into mid August, can you believe it?

When my kids were smaller this was a frenetic time of trying to squeeze in the last bits of summer and yet start preparing for the upcoming school session. I personally love this time of year as Autumn is approaching!!! For me, Spring and Fall are my favourite seasons by far. I mean, yeah summer is nice with the longer days and the heat, but we have had unrelenting heat, blazing sun, forest fires, smoke andI’m rather done with it and am feeling dried out from the inside out!

On the weekend I hosted a family and friend dinner gathering out in the garden and was tickled pink to actually have to put on a second layer as the sun went down. We also had to play “dodge the acorns” as the garden is in the midst of a Garry Oak grove and all the trees had obviously decided that Fall was approaching and so every few minutes 2 or 3 large acorns would come flying down to either bounce on the grass – or on someone’s head!

There’s definitely a shift in the air and a promise of something deeper, richer and more inward turning as Fall approaches.

This upcoming weekend we welcome the second Full Moon in Aquarius (if you remember the first one was last month). This delicious Full Moon is a Blue Moon and is known as the Sturgeon Moon.

Great Jen, but what does that mean for me?

The Sturgeon Full Moon of August fully embodies the final days of summer and signals the harvest season. Our first harvest celebration was Lammas at the beginning of August. Deep within us, anticipation starts to stir, we feel it quicken just beneath the surface. You’ll notice the days start to feel a bit shorter and the sunlight has grown a bit weaker. You may even observe a few fallen yellow leaves.

August’s sweltering lazy summer days inspire dreams of pumpkin spice lattes and sweater weather.

We’re beginning to reap the rewards of some of our crops, either literal or metaphorical. However, we need to be patient as we wait for our hard work and creations to fully culminate.

The Full Moon of August is named the Sturgeon Moon to symbolize and represent the freshwater fish that were easily caught during this hot summer month in North America. Have you ever seen a Sturgeon? They are so frigging impressive and look prehistoric and can be traced back over 200 million years!

Sturgeon can grow to be quite large in size and often live to be over 100 years old.

So – align your spiritual intentions this month with the strong and impressive sturgeon. They’ve survived millions of years by adapting and persevering through many different challenges. You are just as powerful and resilient whether you realize it or not.

What big ambitions did you have last Winter or early Spring that you most desire to see accomplished? Let the Full Moon of August’s energy encourage you to push through the final hurdles to complete your goals and intentions. Allow yourself to admit if you’ve fallen off track, and then dust yourself off, and try again.

Remember progress over perfection! It’s ok if things aren’t working out exactly as you envisioned. Allow yourself to go with the flow and trust that the universe is also working hard to help your intentions come true. Consistent effort and hard work will always pay off, even if it’s not exactly as you planned. Stay open-minded, but don’t give up!

If you want to dive deeper into this energy, explore the concepts of harvest, gratitude and flexibility or go play with water!

Water is the perfect way to cool down during the warm August days and nights. Spend some time by a lake, ocean, river, or your favorite watering hole! Fully submerge in the cool water if you can. Let it flow around you and relax. Allow any anxiety or worries to slip away with the current or tide. Imagine yourself as the water trusting and flowing freely. Let go of your fears and know that whatever may happen, you will find a way to make the best of it.

So with that glorious energy in play let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the glorious cards and asked who wanted to guide and support you this week I was delighted to see The Oracle of the Shapeshifters. As we are all shapeshifting in some shape or form right now.

If these glorious guides are new to you, let me please introduce them (as that is the polite thing to do)! “These are the magickal familiars, once the companions of shamans, witches, wizards, and wise ones – and now they are here for you. Now is the time for you to undertake a great quest – to rebirth yourself within this lifetime and this quest of evolution does not need to be faced alone. We change and we change again. We fear change. Yet it comes. For us to fear change is as foolish as winter crying for the coming of spring. Change is. Fear corrupts. These guides are here to support, encourage and help you through transformation and to teach you to let go of fear. True , deep change must take place for you to fulfill your soul contract. You may have turned from possibility to what you have convinced yourself is probable: You diminish your possible self, reduce who you are, and dilute your spirit. But even when you have sought to remain invisible and hidden away, and said yes to everyone else, life will find you – and transform you. You are never alone with these beings.” Phew! So there we have it, are you ready?

Take a moment to align with the wonderful, strong, ancient sturgeon. Let that glorious energy fill you as you breathe and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that call to you this week.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see, shall we?

THE MERMAID OF IMMERSION

It has come time to completely involve yourself – you have been holding back, only going so far with a new project or with a commitment to yourself, always pulling back at the last moment from taking the step. You are holding a part of yourself back, watching, judging, always assessing whether this is right or wrong. You are surrounding yourself with what you consider to be protection and what humans call buffer zones. And you claim you want change. You claim you wish to understand. You claim you wish to have this done!

If this is true, then the time has come to take a deep breath, dive off the edge of the cliff, and immerse yourself fully in the waters of change. Go underneath, to the truth of what has happened, and surround yourself only with what supports that change. The time has come to remove the buffer zones and to have enough faith in your friendships and family relations to know that if they are meant to be, they will be there when you return. You need not take this plunge. It is not compulsory. But it is what you have claimed you wanted. Come with me. I will teach you how to breathe underwater. And then, finally, the truth you have claimed you have been reaching for will be yours.

It is time to release procrastination, making excuses and staying in the land of excuses and old ways – the deep underneath, your soul is calling for you. Break free. Dive in. Dive deep. Be surrounded by and belong to the beauty you wish to become!

KITSUNE

“Trust me,” people say. “Over here,” they beckon. “I love you,”others croon. But who of all these beings seeking what you possess speaks the truth?

I, Kitsune, can hear their true voice, and I can see the consequences of their plans before they have a chance to unfurl. While it can hurt to know the truth, it is best to know the heart of those who would win your trust, your love, your resources. These precious gifts of yours must be protected. Your tender self must only be given where you will be honoured. There are some who wish to deceive and maniu;ate you, and yet you do not know who they are. By welcoming me in for a time, I will act as a powerful undercover agent, and I will expose the tricks and falsehoods of others. I will never advise you to be false, but I will clearly signal to you when to stay silent, whom to avoid, and situations that need not be your concern.

I may appear in the guise of a helpful stranger or an insightful encounter – or as I do here. Regardless of my form, I am your friend, and I will tell you the truth – and show you where the trickster plays.

STRANGE COMPANIONS IN STRANGER PLACES

Einstein, one of your wise ones, said that imagination is more important than power. How true this is. There is nothing on this planet that was not born of a dream, or a wayward thought – including we two, who were born out of separate imaginations but who live on and grow more and more powerful thanks to the millions who believe in us and our stories and whom we, in turn, inspire!

So now, like us, you find yourself amid strange times and places.

You have a great power within you – the power of your creativity, your imagination, and your dream self! You are going through great changes, and it seems to you like you have no power. But if you use your imagination, if you get truly creative about how to deal with new people and places, who you can be, and what you are capable of, you will shine.

You also have beautiful, strong allies who have accompanied you on your journey and who will not leave your side. They may bring inspiration for drawing, for daydreaming brilliant stories, for knowing how things should look, for being able to write the most ethereal music, or for dancing as light as a feather. Whatever your gift, use it to head into and become more familiar with this new territory, and explore this strange new place where you have chosen to begin a new life for yourself.

No more hiding – the adventure is one which is taking place now, and you are a part of it all. All is well – how could it not be as you live this new life in this full and wonderful way, with your great creativity and your courage in full bloom?

Wow, glorious strong messages for this shift and time. How did it feel for you? Wishing you a fabulous week filled with cool mornings, clear skies and the strength of the Sturgeon! See you next week.

Blessings, Sore Ass and Full Moon (no pun intended lol)

Jenny Heston · 12:12 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Mesmerising, Musical, Marvelous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you? Did you take some time to play with the wonderful energy of the Equinox? I most certainly did and I will say I had a positively stupendous, one of a kind Equinox weekend and the shift that I feel in my body, mind and spirit are immense that I would love to share with you.

Now don’t get me wrong, my life for the most part is really quite lovely and I feel very Blessed. However, I will say the first part of March felt very fractious, heavy and agitated. My ego was certainly trying to drive the bus and was having a tough time with acceptance, release and my mind was certainly not being my friend! So it was divine to have the Equinox experience and feel it move, shift and release.

So, Friday night I took some time to sit out in the dark and write (by candlelight) all the things that I had been fretting with, trying to control, allowing my ego to run rampant with – just poured them out on paper. I then gave them a wee blessing and popped them in my Goddess Box and offered them up. Then I loaded up my backpack as I knew I needed an adventure, an explore, something to sweep out the cobwebs and help me find the reset button.

Saturday I loaded up Gertie (the car) and grabbed Danu (the dog) picked up a friend and off we went to go explore something new as I was being told there was a shift in the air. We ended up on the Juan de Fuca coastal trail, a glorious old growth trail that runs alongside the rugged west coast of the island. And literally the minute I put my foot on the old growth trail I felt a frisson of energy rush through me and had this knowing sensation that I wouldn’t be the same when I came back out. (That’s not as odd as it sounds). Wending through the trees and scrambling over twisted tree roots whilst navigating huge mud puddles the wind picked up and made the tops of the trees sing and I could feel my energy rise in response. Then the sound of the crashing waves pounding against the rugged rocks melded in and it was as if Nature was singing me the best love song ever!

We came out onto one beach and my breath was literally taken away, the rawness, the ruggedness, the sandstone tidal pools with the crashing waves and the wind! Oh my Goddess I was in heaven. I felt like a wee one scrambling up and down over the rocks, gazing into the deep pools and seeing all the life that was living there. The eagles kept coming out and flying above me calling out to each other as they surfed the wind current. At one point as I went to jump off a large rocky outcrop I realised at the last minute that the landing was slick so I lunged further to avoid falling 8 feet and managed to pull the muscles in my left arse cheek! Sore was the word! But hey, you only live once, and this was an experience I was immersed in.

We went back onto the trail to go further down the coast line and kept popping out on wild, rugged beaches to explore and each time a gorgeous eagle would appear as the wind whipped the ocean up and tugged at my hat. I found a little nook in the rocks on one beach where we were sheltered from the wind and able to peel off some layers and have our picnic, where we were very kindly joined by two large Stellar Jays with their iridescent blue plumage and a mini murder of crows. (Quite delightful but raucous picnic companions!) After lunch it was time for Oomancy! Now if you are shaking your head and saying – ummm, WTF? Let me clarify it – divination with eggs! Yes, I did say that outloud. In Creatrix Circle on Friday we had our Ostara gathering and we prepared our eggs for a wonderful divination ritual, so I had hauled mine all the way out to this rugged coastline.

I found a lovely sandstone slope and divining occurred, it was so cool to do and the absolutely perfect place. After a full day, with an incredibly sore left butt cheek, muddy boots, wind burned cheeks and a full heart it was time to do the long drive home. But oh my Goddess, it had been soooooo worth it. What a glorious way to celebrate Ostara and honour the Goddess in her Maiden form and the energy of rebirth, new growth and expansion.

By the time I got home I realised, the woods had been right. I didn’t feel like the same person at all as the one who first stepped onto the trail early in the morning. I felt lighter, clearer, in a state of grace and acceptance and truly, truly Blessed. So to celebrate this sensation and the glorious Equinox I made a Black Forest Cake and ate half of it! (I left offerings for the faeries as well). The whole day had felt incredibly magickal, cleansing and transformative and I felt very Blessed by the whole experience, even with a super sore arse and needing to sit on a hot water bottle!

Sunday morning found me out early with Danu, in the pouring rain wandering along the beach and through the homeless campers who are in the park. As I pushed through a copse of trees I encountered a chap who was having a super tough time and decided I should listen to him as he screamed and swore about life, the weather, me, the neighbourhood and how everything was fucked up. I listened and when he had calmed enough to hear me he took my offer of support to help him get to the community tent so he could get some hot coffee and a dry coat. As I walked on with Danu I offered up a blessing for him, for anyone in that dire circumstance, for those who’s only home currently is a leaky tent in a public park where they get castigated and shunned. For those who are made to feel less than. For those who are struggling with mental health issues and for myself that I was able to be there and listen to him, as I felt that was an honour.

Now when I use the word Blessing, I’m not talking about the Bible interpretation. It’s more a case of calling in grace, love, something bigger than myself to offer support, and let’s be honest – you can offer up a Blessing for anything. It could be a person who you feel has done you wrong, you can bless those that you see struggling, you can bless a situation, you can bless a meal. It’s the inviting in of something far, far bigger than yourself to enter the space with loving kindness. I find it super powerful, give it a try. What do you have to lose?

As John O’Donohue says: ” May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder.”

Okay, this Sunday is the lovely Full Moon in Libra which carries beautiful, high-powered energies for healing, protection, and harmony. A new chapter, a new zodiac wheel has started, and this Full Moon is supporting us to let go of all that we no longer need to carry and to create space for new energies to unfold.

Think about it, when we first started this zodiac cycle back in March of 2020, the world was a different place. We have all changed. We have all evolved and grown. We have all had new experiences that have shaped and moved us, and this Full Moon is our chance to acknowledge and release all that no longer needs to be with us. The Libra energy of this Full Moon also supports us in finding a balance between the old state of what once was and the new state of what could be, and the grace and discernment that is needed to either hold on or let go.

So take some time to consider how you have changed and grown, do you appreciate the Blessings in your life enough and what areas of your life would you like to see more growth (like the Spring seedlings) in?

When I went to the guides to ask who wanted to share this week I laughed as the wonderful Blessing Faeries were most adamant to share their Blessings with you. These glorious ones had come on my Equinox adventure and had gifted me with a Blessing amidst the eagles, crows and jays.

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them.

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? What area of my life would I like to see more growth in? Do I acknowledge my Blessings? 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.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a look???

A BLESSING OF THE BUTTERFLY QUEEN

The Faery Gift of Graceful Change and Transfiguration

To you is granted the faery gift of transformation and change. Your life is re-becoming, and all obstacles will be broken through, until you take flight into the life you have recreated so courageously. The faeries are gifting you with all you need to move through a time of great expansion, change, growth, and tumult with integrity, grace, and tenacity. Your time to be reborn is approaching, and the Butterfly Queen will be with you as you transform and reshape your life.

As you change, even as you struggle at times, you will inspire, and grow, and rework your life in magickal ways. The ancient caretakers of the planet are the fae, and their presence will be with you as you transform. You have beauty, and your presence will be bright and joyful, bringing so much to others, but most of all, bringing a deep contentment and fulfilment to yourself.

Focus on all you wish to see grow and become “more” at this time – and know, with great and firm conviction, that you are blessed, and beloved, and precious, human child.

A BLESSING OF THE UNSEELIE

The Faery Gift of Following Your True Heart from The Worthy Rebels of the Unseelie Court

The gift of the Unseelie is the gift of the rebellious one, the one who defies, and who does not “go with the flow”. In faery lore, the Unseelie are sometimes considered dangerous but their blessing is this: you are not born to appease and to concede, to give way always before forces that consume and control. You were born to be free, to decide who you were meant to be for yourself – and the Unseelie’s gift and blessing to you is that reminder. And this means that in this moment, there is something you must say “no” to. Say “no” to the forces that would ask you to do something that you feel is wrong. Say “no ” to going along, to getting along, and stand alone, if you must, in the renegade nature of the Unseelie.

It is a strange gift, a weird blessing, to be sure, but in its way, it is an energy of rebellion and courage and defiance that is not born out of any desire to be unkind. In fact, it is born out of the desire to be kind to your truest self and to create space and room for you to breathe and be free. With this blessing, you will say, “no”, you will take a stand, you will find a new path and be true to yourself. And while you may be called disruptive or difficult, know that these labels are only given when you can no longer be controlled. When the Unseelie bless you in your holy work, know that you are only being true to your own self and walking your own path. Blessings of the Unseelie, those holy rascals, friend.

A BLESSING ON THE HEART’S CALLING

The Faery Gift of Living from the Truest and Most Pure Call of the Heart

For faeries, what the heart wants, in its purest form, is the right thing to desire. But for humans, we have long practice smothering the heart with the voice of reason, most often not our own voice, but the voices of others, of cultures and governments and of groups of people who fear nothing so much as hearing the heart’s deep call. And so, with this gift of the faery comes the gift of hearing again the heart’s deep call and having the courage and commitment to follow it, no matter where it may take us.

The heart’s deep call will never drive us to a destructive relationship or a hurtful scenario. It is not going to sacrifice our spirit to the making of money or the stifling of creativity. The heart’s deep call, the true call, is beyond this, and will only take us in the direction of the dreams we are meant to fulfil this lifetime.

The faeries can now, with this gift, slowly lift the mist that covers the shining heart within you and open you up to that deep listening to your own self, and help you to value the song of the heart that has been signing to you since before you were born. For the faeries have heard the song of your heart, and have wondered at the difference between its call and the life you have lived thus far.

With this gift, your life will move more into accord with the heart, and you will begin to live from that deep, true place – with integrity, with fulfilment, without foolishness or following another, for your own heart will guide you and never ask you to sacrifice yourself to the creation of the dream of another.

The faery’s gift is of the heart’s deep call to you, friend. May its song bring you every blessing.

Oh my gosh, I love, love, love the guides who came to share this week! So delicious lovely I wish for you this week ease, flow and joy and that you are able to count your Blessings as there are many. Oh yes, there are 2 spots left in the Private Reading Special which ends tonight and doors to Creatrix close tonight. Have an amazing week and remember to pause and appreciate who you are and how far you have come. Big hugs and squeezes.

Eclipse, Solstice, B.O.W.S, The Great Conjunction and more – Oh My!

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy Marvellous, Merry, Musical, Mystical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Oh my gosh, sooooo much to cover this week and such huge energies coming into play as they layer up on top of each other. Today is a New Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius, we have Solstice next Monday which opens a new gateway and is filled with massive energy, then a Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn where for the first time in 200 years it moves into a new element! Oh yes, and the Book of Winter Solstice is ready and Creatrix doors open for one week! When energies stack up this way, all we can do is be aware and live consciously. So grab a cuppa tea, snuggle down and let’s get exploring.

To help you with really harnessing all this energy and really embodying what these energies are inviting you to do, whilst setting some strong intentions through ritual, magick and knowledge I am pleased to say The Book of Winter Solstice is here! 59 pages of absolute wonderment, so if you had no clue what’s what or how to celebrate it we have you covered! If you think about it, much of what we do now is based on ancient magick and celebration, so it’s important to understand how to work with all of it to create something new. (Trust me your DNA knows this). Oh yes, there is also an incredible guided visualisation to fully support you in weaving a new reality at that time and if that’s all you want, you can receive that on it’s own. Both the Book and the visualisation can be used from now until the end of December.

The doors to Creatrix Circle open today for one week (until the Solstice) and then they close until March. If you have been wanting to deepen your practice, learn more about what it is to walk the way of the witch, wise woman, seer, sage with a like minded tribe, then I highly suggest you check it out.

Okay, let’s get on with this wonderful New Moon Eclipse. The New Moon eclipse makes this a super‑powerful week, so be sure to invest some real energy into your New Moon wishes and intentions. If you’ve never done this before, let me suggest the New Moon bowl.

As Forever shares; “ What you think about expands, and this is doubly true under the power of this Eclipse. While we do have to be mindful of our thought processes on this day, it is also important to remember that being true to ourselves is what we should aim for.

We don’t have to be fake positive. We need to stay rooted in our truth, but in a way that encourages expansion. So, for example, instead of focusing on a mistake or trying to pretend it never happened, you instead acknowledge the mistake with kindness and focus on what you can do now to move forward.”

Thus, as you spend some time with this Eclipse really ask yourself what deep in your being is true for you? What would you like to bring more of that is in alignment with your essence? As this Eclipse offers the kind of restructuring that can steer our lives towards a more honest and meaningful direction

Solstice is next Monday (December 21st) and again the energy is very similar. It’s an invitation into the Sacred Unknown. It’s a call to return to the temple of your own heart. The heart home where you are always safe and free. And from this place to be willing to walk into the dark (your dark), play with the shadows and spend some time really releasing attachments and then picking the new pieces that are in alignment with you to weave something new. (Big question I know). In the Book of Winter Solstice (B.O.W.S.) we walk with the why’s, the hows and the deep meaning that this gateway offers you.

Then the Great Conjunction! (I did tell you there are lots of intense energies in the last part of this year lol). As Chani shares:- On December 21st, right after the solstice, Jupiter and Saturn will form what is known as The Great Conjunction, ushering us into a new era. For the first time in a couple hundred years, this conjunction will take place in a new element, and therefore denotes a paradigm shift. Air is the element of the intellect, the social sphere, and communications. The Great Conjunction occurring on the solstice, a moment historically equated with new beginnings, is a far more powerful initiation than the turning of the clock to January 1st, 2021.

Then we end the year with a Full Moon on December 29th!

Can you say Holy Hannah this is a lot?

The key thing I want you to notice though is all of these wonderful opportunities are inviting you to go back to your heart, to really spend time in it’s warm darkness and find the seeds of something more sustainable, community based and loving to plant.

Breathe honey, lol. So with all that swirling around, let’s crack on with the reading. Then I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share their wisdom and insight with you this week, the glorious “Love Your Inner Goddess” guides came out big and bold. Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to).

“These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth. Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world. We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK. Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense. She wants so much more for you. She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny. She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart. She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you. You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true. There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed. Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity. She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart. “

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time. Woosah!

So gorgeous one, breathe. Just breathe, BE and allow yourself to relax, your mind to calm, your breath to slow and ask your wise inner self – what do I need to know this week. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your heartstrings – don’t let your mind pick!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

SOUL SISTERS

You are being emotionally and psychologically influenced by the people around you more than you may realise. Sometimes this is good – they uplift and inspire you and help you feel loved and loving. However, sometimes, you can sense that being truly yourself in a situation could result in unwanted conflict, and you undermine yourself to keep the peace. You’ll find that, the moment you stop doing this, some difficulties you’ve been having in moving forward will fall away, almost as if by magic. The relationships worth holding on to can handle a little more truth, even if feathers get ruffled before being smoothed over with love once more.

Some relationships nourish your soul, whilst others damage it. A nourishing relationship has an effect on your soul, just like nourishing food does on your body – it makes you feel good, increases your energy to live your life and enhances your well being.

Healthy relationships for your soul are those that uplift, inspire and help you become more of yourself with fearlessness. They do not drag your spirit down into anxiety and confusion. Some people may love you, but just not know how to be in a relationship with you that is healthy for your soul. With such people, you will either need to show them how to be in your life in a soul-loving way or take extra special care of yourself when you are around them.

Sometimes, this will not be enough to protect you from the negative influence of the relationship, and you will need to walk away. This can be sad, yet it also creates space for your soulmates to enter your life. These are the people with whom you share a deep and real connection. You love each other in a way that frees you to be yourselves. We attract new soulmates into our world by being good to ourselves. Be your own best friend, first. Require respect in your relationships. Then you will find it easy to recognise the people who genuinely love you and invite them into your heart.

ROCKSTAR

You may have a subconscious fear of being judged or becoming the target of jealousy that causes you to shy away from the limelight. You may mistakenly believe that being in the spotlight means you are supposed to be perfect or better than everyone else. There is a higher purpose in standing apart from the crowd and being seen. Choose to accept the opportunities that make you more visible to others, trusting that you will shine your truth and integrity to make it a positive and healing experience for yourself and for others too.

There’s a light in you that wants and needs to be seen,a side of you that is bold, bright and unique. Even if it’s something different for you, or you aren’t sure how comfortable you are going to be on centre stage, sometimes there’s a higher purpose for you being placed in the spotlight.

One purpose can be to develop self-acceptance and self-confidence. Then you can rock your true self without having to tone it down, play it safe or rein it in. You can become so comfortable in your own skin that you no longer hide your inner divine beauty.

Maybe others will then become less afraid to be themselves because you have shown them that being cool is about being cool with who you are, refusing to be stereotyped by people with insufficient imagination. There’s power in the freedom of not fitting in. You rather than someone else, get to decide how you want to live your life. Relish it: be creative with it. You are meant to be free to express yourself authentically and to be seen doing it. So claim your inner rockstar and strut your soul stuff in this world.

BEAUTIFUL BANDIT

You can choose right now to feel good about yourself. If you’ve been beating yourself up, stop it now. Don’t let anyone else decide how you should feel about yourself. Taking responsibility for your actions means that when you have done something that you feel is out of integrity, you do something about it that is constructive and useful. Smaning yourself with judgement, or allowing another to steal your self-esteem, is neither of those things.

The Divine Mother is telling you to forgive yourself and use your energy not to live the best life that you can. It’s time to take your life back.

You are one tough sweetheart, a spiritual gangster,a beautiful bandit, stealing back from the unworthy that which rightfully belongs with you. You have certain spiritual rights that cannot be denied you. Your dignity, power and grace, your sense of beauty and self-esteem, your chosen belief systems, your energy and your right to take up space in this world rightfully belong to your soul. Your faith in your spiritual connection with the Universe and your sense of your life purpose belong to your soul, too. So do your joy, your laughter and your enjoyment of life, your belief in your own purity of heart and the goodness of your own being. Your right to love yourself is owned by your soul, too.

Even when you make mistakes, the great Mother loves and forgives you, knowing that you are doing your best and are her precious one. You have a spiritual right to be free from torment, cruelty and mental anguish. You alone own the right to choose your thoughts and claim your freedom to make your own choices. You are fierce with wisdom.

Anything that you feel has been taken from you unfairly shall be taken back by you. Claim what is yours by spiritual right.

Wowzer! Seriously you can’t make this shit up! So my delicious lovely, I wish for you an awesome Eclipse, do grab the Book of Winter Solstice so that you are ready! Also, if you are interested in Creatrix Circle, the doors are open until Solstice. Have a superb week, remember to keep RE-turning to your heart temple so you can RE-member. See you next week and then I will be back after the New Year. The time between Solstice and New Year is my contemplation, hibernation, listening and creating time. Big hugs and squeezes!

Solstice is coming! Sagittarius New Moon Eclipse, Peace and the Plants.

Happy Moodling, Magickal, Mysterious, Magnificent, Musical, Manifesting Monday!

Solstice is coming and many of you have asked when there will be a Book of Winter Solstice (fondly referred to as BOWS). Next week at the New Moon BOWS will be available! Whoot!

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 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. If you’ve already put the darkness behind you, take your good fortune and share it with others. 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 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.

When my kids were little (I mean wee in age), I sent most of them to the Waldorf school. Why? Because especially in the younger years the Waldorf school encouraged creativity, curiosity, paying attention to the seasons and appreciating that we are connected to everything and that magic is everywhere. I remember a glorious book that I encountered there that depicted how as we enter winter all the little seeds, bulbs and animals would tuck up in the roots deep in the ground where Mother Earth would read them stories and sing them lullabies so they slept long and deep through the snowy, icy days until the temperatures warmed and they could stretch up towards the sun. The imagery was amazing!

Many of you have shared how the Full Moon Eclipse last Monday rocked your world! Well guess what? We have another eclipse this coming Monday on the New Moon! Are you excited lol? Now don’t panic as this Sagittarius New Moon Eclipse brings a positive, lighter, more expansive energy with it. However, we will cover that in more detail next week.

So if you remember, last week I mentioned the first light of Advent being Hope and the Stones and the Bones. This week, the second light of advent is Peace and the Plants.

The second candle of advent has been lit and in traditional religions this is the candle of Peace. So let me ask, what does Peace look like and feel like for you? Is it peace of mind? That sense of calm in you, around you, above you and below you? Feel free to share! In the Waldorf tradition the second light of Advent is the light of the plants. 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.

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.”

What delicious guides for exploring Peace and Solstice. The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are:- Rhodonite, Moonstone and Rhyolite. Yummers!

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?

ISHTAR’S LION GATE 888

Your heart has a heightened connection with the higher realms of consciousness and light. A blessing, empowerment and positive omen shall enter your world. Doors will open for you. Abundance and prosperity are headed your way. Take care of your heart. Ask for spiritual assistance, and it shall be granted. Something negative is going to transform into something very positive.

Ishtar is the Queen of the Night, a dark goddess of loss and letting go, but also a priestess of light, who holds the keys to renewal from suffering. She is relentless in her pursuit of the path to true inner freedom. She willingly surrenders her attachments and her identities, even separating herself temporarily from her loved ones, with such boldness and confidence that she crosses into realms where others dare not go. She experiences vulnerability, and in that state discovers deep truth.

Ishatar is the capacity of the soul to integrate our experiences. After reaching the greatest depths of suffering, she emerges and is reinstated upon her rightful throne with even greater wisdom, spiritual power and compassion. She is a guardian and symbol of resurrection. You shall rise again. Those who have felt as though their identity or any other marker of security has been torn away from them are her children. They will find their way back to peace and prosperity under her auspices. If you have been suffering, an end of the struggle is imminent.

She brings a message of a breakthrough and healing, of a significant lightening up of your life and the end of a deeply challenging cycle in your life. There is a special divine dispensation augured by Ishtar’s Lion Gate 888.

Where hope has been difficult to find, or all seems lost, the light shall return and beautiful blessings are destined to unfold in your life.

AIH SOPH AUR

A way through the struggle has already been created for you, and you are being led onto that path. Your authentic soul path may include recognition and acclaim, notable success and admiration. Be grateful, but do not be dazzled or distracted by such experiences. Focus on what connects you to your heart and grounds you in the simplicity of spiritual truth, which is the practice of love, kindness and peace. This will allow for successful progress in the material world without disturbing the sanctity of your soul.

In the mysticism of the Kabbalah, Ain Soph Aur is the first and truest light. It emerges from the absolute, which is pure emptiness, beyond all characteristics, phenomena and form. The capacity to create something from apparently nothing is one of the definitions of magic. Ain Soph Aur is the Universe pulling rabbits out of hats on a cosmic scale. Because the spiritual light emerges from the spaciousness of infinite potentiality, it is imbued with endless creativity, resourcefulness and spontaneous responsiveness. Whatever is needed is made manifest, provided to the receptive heart and will benefit all beings.

Receptivity is the key to unlocking this white light magic of the Spirit. When we are open to it, surrendered to its wisdom and willing to place that wisdom above our own opinions, we are capable of receiving and benefiting from it. If we are trying to dictate its course, to contrive and control it to meet our needs as we think they should be met, then we are not being receptive. The path of control and dominance is regressive. It is not sacred magic and it is not of the Spirit.

Open your heart to connect with the higher creative and healing intelligence of the light. No matter how much our wounded minds or broken hearts may believe a situation cannot be healed, Ain Soph Aur is always there. It reminds us that, whether we can see it or not, there is a spiritual path through all troubles. That path can be so beautiful we will become profoundly grateful for the struggle which caused us to grow (even if we never wish to repeat the experience).

As you open yourself to what is – even the unexpectedly difficult twists of fate – you will become ever closer to the radiant grace and luminous clarity, which is reassuring you, healing you, guiding you and loving you.

ALPHA OF ALCYONE

A positive twist of fate and a windfall of good fortune are destined for you. Brightness and hope will alleviate negativity and give you the strength to find your way through a time of adversity or challenge. Finally, you will experience peace, love and deep connection with your true self and the Universe. Good things are on their way to you.

The brightest star in the Pleiades star system, Alcone, holds the frequency of love, the sacred feminine healing power of compassion and the grace of mercy. She is the goddess of grace and mercy, especially in the face of heart-wrenching loss. She reassures us that we will find a way through and that there is comfort for us when we need it, even if further work needs to be done before we can be fully released into a new era of happiness.

Alpha brain waves are deep, calming waves. They are what we experience when daydreaming or slipping into peaceful relaxation or meditation. In the alpha state, imagination and intuition are heightened, as such these brain waves are a gateway into the subconscious mind. If we are in stimulation overload, alpha blocking can occur. Learning to consciously switch off and relax by dropping into the 8Hz to 12Hz range helps us melt away stress and tune in to our intuition, without becoming too floaty and unfocused.

Alcyone supports us in relaxing and reconnecting to optimism, even during tough times. In such a state, we will realise that difficulties will eventually come to an end and we will be provided for. A new reality of happiness is available to us even now, as we steadily make our way to the light of a happy new start.

Woosah! How deliciously lovely. Thus glorious bean I wish for you a week of Peace and Hope with an appreciation for the bones and stones and a love for the plants that nourish and heal you. The date for Creatrix Circle door opening has been picked and it will be just after the New Moon, so make sure you’re on the waiting list to be kept up to date.

Blessings, Hugs and Squeezes! See you next week.

Energy Shift, Keep Going………No Matter What, and give Thanks!

Jenny Heston · 11:11 pm ·

Happy Magnetic, Magickal, Miraculous, Musical, Majestic, Misty, Manifesting Monday!

How are you delicious one? Did you mark the first full moon of this month (October 1st)? At about 8 that night everything in me was screaming to go out to the moon, having just moved I wasn’t too sure where I wanted to go. So I grabbed Danu, a candle, some smudge, tucked a few crystals in the bra (which immediately fell down to my ankles so ended up in a pocket) and followed the trail that I had carved through the bushes the first day I got here. This trail connects to another trail that leads one through Garry Oak woods and up to a rocky outcrop area called Peacock Hill.

As I clambered up the rocks to the top I was gobsmacked to see people there, and there were even doggos (Danu was tickled)! All of these lovely beings had come for the full moon, and more arrived over the next while. What made it even more special was everyone had brought a wee little candle, found their own rocky outcrop, smiled gently at each other and then focused on their own experience. It was quite delicious to say the least! Then as the moon rose higher in the sky a glorious male voice (who could easily be in a Welsh choir) sang out a glorious song that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Maybe this new neighbourhood is going to be quite special!

So my darlings, October is here and I so love this month as Samhain/Halloween is approaching, autumn is ramping up her glorious colours, the veil is thinning and it’s the time to work with ancestral energy – there is such a shift in the air. With all that being said the energy has changed.

Do you remember the energy for September was Flexibility and Trust? Which I found personally played out for me every minute of every day. Well this month the energy is all about Keep Going…..No Matter What! Now don’t let the throw you into a tizz wazz, let’s let Lena explain it.

“This month includes a continuation of intense emotional ups and downs, disappointments, irritations, anger, disbelief, unexpected challenges, loss, roadblocks and reactions, poor communication, deep grief, confusion, outrage and despair. Any one of these is enough to take us down and immobilize us from taking proactive steps forward towards something positive and constructive. Any one of these can tempt us to give up and give in to being the ultimate victims of the times, our lives and everything that seems to be in the way of our joy, happiness, clarity, progress and satisfaction.

The theme is “Keep Going, No Matter What” because that is exactly what we all need to do.

It is the mind that is most frustrated and resistant because it does not have the “information” about the future and therefore cannot control the outcome of anything. Last month’s themes of “Flexibility and Trust” were in preparation for this month by encouraging the mind to let go of all the expectations, attachments and timing that it is so fond of being in control of. No amount of hypervigilance will help, so you might as well just give it up to spirit and keep putting one foot in front of the other in the direction that your heart and intuition are taking you.

Even as we are inching along in our movement towards getting to a better place personally and globally, we are far from out of the woods. This month has some very big opportunities for a final clean out of old emotional debris, as well as an intense reboot and reset of priorities and intentions. Challenges can surface overnight and the more flexible and accepting you can remain, the faster the solutions will appear. You could even be totally amazed at the rapid fluctuations from one to the other. There is a fine line between terror and excitement. The idea is to keep moving forward towards excitement at the possibilities instead of getting stuck in the terror of negative possibilities.

One of the big issues this month is the processing of grief and loss. Anything can trigger this, and if you do get triggered through something you feel is insignificant, see it as the trigger that ripped the scab off the wound so you can finally clean and heal this deeper wound for good. This could involve ancestral patterns, past lives, your personal past as well as the collective collection of karmic trauma, misery, injustice, and deep wounding of both the masculine and the feminine. We need to remember in these times of intensity, that spirit never hands us more than we can handle.”

Thus, with that energy in play and Canadian Thanksgiving coming up this weekend – with all that you have felt, experienced, witnessed in the last 7 months what are you thankful for? It is often easier (or a default) to notice what isn’t right for you, kind of like noticing the one dot of ink that is on a sheet of white paper. But open your heart, your eyes, your mind. What are you thankful for? Breathe that in. Focus on those things, as it helps attract more of those delicious nubbins into your life.

Okay, I have chuntered on for long enough, let’s crack on with the reading. The glorious guides that chose to show and shine this week are the amazing ones of White Light Oracle. Now, if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it’s terribly rude not to).

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.

I love this deck and everytime I work with the delicious guides it reminds me of my sister as she loves wolves!

We also have supreme crystals and gorgeous flowers to add their energy (and if you have worked with Bach flower essences you will know how powerful they can be.)

Okay sweetie, let’s get settled and just BE for a moment, yes? As we move with the energy of this month I invite you to invite in ancestral energy, healing energy, guiding energy. Just breathe sweetie and allow the image of support to flood up into your mind’s eye. If you need more help with this there’s a lovely guided visualisation for you just below. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Come take a look.

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 power blessing is entering your world. A prayer is now being answered in a beautiful way. Spirit gives freely and generously of all good 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, iving, 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 blessings, of something truly desired finally coming to pass.

Dvara is Sanskrit for a pathway, an opening or portal, a doorway or even a means or method. Dvrara Patra indicates the way for your deepest fulfilment is via the receptive faculty of the sacred feminine. The feminine way is organic, creative, responsive, spontaneous and effective. It is not constrained by our human perceptions of what is or is not possible.

This in turn means you will not necessarily understand how a situation will work out. Yet, you will feel inner guidance to proceed in a particular way. Your inner guidance will often seem to disregard the otherwise convincing realities of the outer world. That inner wisdom has allegiance to a deeper truth than appearances can convey. As you invert your priorities from ego to soul, you’ll invert your locus of orientation from head to heart, from other to inner reality. You will trust what your heart knows, whether or not it makes sense to your logical mind – or to anyone elseès, for that matter. This foretells a happy, heartfelt manifestation, a true blessing coming to life.

SPIRIT OWL of 852Hz

Recalibration to a higher order of divine purpose is in progress. It is not always a smooth ride, but it is safe to be fearless as you gently hold space for new ways of thinking, living and seeing to emerge. You are encouraged to let go of opinions and belief systems that cannot support you in higher frequency states. You shall soon recognise a truth that cuts through confusion and frees you to proceed with love, peace and higher understanding.

Spirit Owl is the wisdom bearer, the one who perceives the intended meaning underlying words and the truth behind appearances. Even in darkness, Spirit Owl senses subtle movements with accuracy. The heightened senses of Spirit Owl are akin to the supernatural perception of the higher self. Your higher self sees through illusion and with compassion. It astutely recognises the agendas of the ego and tunes into the empowering energies of the Universe to find a constructive way to express its loving purpose.

Spirit Owl enhances your connection to your higher self, guiding you beneath the compelling nature of appearances, where a vastly different and spiritually empowering perspective is available to you. From such heightened awareness, you can accurately intuit the complex drives at work in yourself and others.

852Hz is the frequency of higher-self connection, which favours the clearing of the mind and an awakening of genuine insight and higher understanding. This frequency opens one to perceive light and communicate with the realms of higher light beings. With such clarity of mind, it is easy to recognise lower level beings who do not operate from unconditional love and pure wisdom. There is no attraction to such beings, but a compassionate attitude toward them.

When we are thirsty, we do not reach for an empty glass, we reach for one that is full. Seek nourishment that can truly offer what you need. There is no sense in seeking something another cannot provide you because of their spiritual limitations.

Your mind is tuning in to something true. It augurs clear seeing and higher understanding. You will be freed from a struggle and set on a creative, empowering and affective path of manifestation. This is a blessing of creative psychological fire. Trust that the more you let go the more you will experience renewal and stunning spiritual rebirth. The past is truly over and a new era is dawning.

QUEEN OF THE NAGAS

A sacred task exists for you to fulfil. It is to be found through connection to your heart. Be open only to those most authentic teachings which prove helpful to your continued spiritual progress and personal freedom. Cleansing your body, mind, heart and soul will be of particular benefit at this time. Powerful, subtle energies are helping ensure your success. Believe that many positive synchronicities and unexpected allies will rally to support you.

The mysterious beings known as Nagas are recognised in spiritual traditions across India, Nepal and Tibet, as well as in other shamanic and cultural traditions. The Naga Queen is an emanation of an enlightened higher being. The eastern goddess of compassion Kuan Yin, is said to assume the form of a benevolent Naga to help beings in need of her protection. Enlightened Naga beings are very helpful to humans, protecting secret wisdoms and offering powerful teachings to those who are wise and committed enough to use them for the greater good.

The Queen has two messages for you. The first is that, as you maintain your integrity and take your emotional healing journey, you are placing yourself within a powerful field of spiritual protection. Continue to tend to your inner healing and ask for spiritual protection each day from higher beings you love. As you continue with such practices, a palpable field of positive energy accumulates around you, minimising negative influences. On off days, this field buffers you from your own mind or factors outside of your control, such as astrological influences or other people’s ego-driven actions.

The second message is that something of great value is at work in your world. Spirit works with tremendous subtlety, even when it is accomplishing a masterful stroke of luminous inspiration and powerful grace. The Divine can assume whatever form will benefit the spiritual seeker to ensure their continued progress, facilitating the right things at the right time.

There is no need to impose a limit on the limitless resourcefulness and creative generosity of the Divine at play in your affairs. All you need to do is invite it in and trust.

Well that was quite delicious! So gorgeous one, I hope you take time to celebrate the season whether it is Spring for you or Autumn. Give massive thanks for all the good in your life and play! Play ignites the heart, the soul, your creativity and just feels frigging amazing. If you are on the weekly reading list, I will see you in a few weeks. If you are in Creatrix Circle, I will see you next week. Big Blessings and massive hugs.

Spiritual Support

Great Jen, but what does that mean for me?

So – align your spiritual intentions this month with the strong and impressive sturgeon. They’ve survived millions of years by adapting and persevering through many different challenges. You are just as powerful and resilient whether you realize it or not.

As John O’Donohue says: ” May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder.”

Happy Marvellous, Merry, Musical, Mystical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!
