Spring Equinox, Aries New Moon and Gifts!

· ·

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

With the energies feeling like they have sped up tenfold and all sorts of delightful opportunities for growth swirling around – this will be a delightfully brief post as it’s Equinox!

I had the joy and honour of leading a glorious in person celebration yesterday, with fire, ritual and amazing women! Then another glorious celebration with the incredible women of Creatrix Circle first thing this morning. 

So now it is time to go play and celebrate in the woods.  

However, I do have 2 glorious free gifts for you to enhance  your celebration and help you with your intention.  I will share them throughout the post.

So here we are my darlings. 

This is the Spring Equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere.  

The time of Beginnings, Fresh Energy, Setting Intentions and planting them with love and care.

With the Spring Equinox your spirit is waking up with new ideas & new dreams for your life.

What are you going to plant?  

In the glorious Southern Hemisphere Mabon is being celebrated, the Fall Equinox, a time to start to harvest what you have sown and to dance within the weaves of gratitude. 

What are you grateful for? 

Equinox is a good time to consider balance in our lives, not only of happiness and sadness, but also of the areas in which we are active and passive, successful and falling short, giving and taking.

What are you receiving (and do you want to keep it)?

And what are you giving (and do you need to)?

Right after this glorious Equinox time where we consider balance the delightful New Moon in Aries comes in.

Aries starts the new astrological year, and is fiery.  Fiery with supporting you in creating something new (see how it ties into the Spring Equinox)?

She brings with her an inspirational time to create, ignite your inner fire and to step into what your soul desires.  She also supports checking in with your inner truth and making sure you are coming from the place that is truly YOU.

Trust that your intentions and desires will be truly supported and nurtured. 

Your task is to set your intentions, receive what is offered and most certainly to have good boundaries against any lower vibration thoughts, people or situations that attempt to undermine this potential. 

Yes?

Perfect, then let’s crack on with the reading.  If these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you to Blessed Be. 

“May these cards and guides offer you ways to enter into deeper appreciation of your life and its manifold blessings.  May you have hope, understanding and kindness.  And most of all, may you know deep within your soul, that thou art blessed.”

Frigging perfect!

So take a moment to become present.  Right here, right now, right in this minute.  

As you breathe, allow your mind’s eye to show you the balance.  The balance between what you are giving and receiving.  Then when you are ready pick the card that calls to you.

If you want to go deep.  One of my gifts to you is a glorious guided Spring Equinox meditation/visualisation. This visualisation will really help you tap into your heart and the potent energy that wants to support you.

Did you remember to pick?

Then let’s go have a good gander shall we?

A BLESSING FROM YOUR ANCESTORS

A blessing to bring you the gifts and guardianship of your ancestral family.

Within your bloodline, and within your spiritual line, there are thousands of relatives who care for you, and whose cells now sing within your body.  You are their future dream, you carry forward the hopes of your distance and most ancient family.  

They have seen so much – yes, in other times and faraway places, but they come to you now and bless you with all the wisdom of their experiences, making you the sum total of a thousand thousand wise ones.

Call upon the wisdom of the blood, the old ones who stand behind you, supporting and holding you, clearly giving to you the knowledge that experience taught them.  

Let only the ancestors who can free you, aid you, support you, and celebrate the best of themselves within you come forward, and may the ailments and regrets of those who have gone before teach you what not to do in this time.

If the family be thin on the ground, or if there is estrangement at present, let the arms of the old ones hold you, form a circle about you, and infuse you with everything you may need at this moment.

You are loved across the distance of time.  

May you be blessed and may you have with you the essence of the Elder, the Teacher, the one who shows, the one who shares with the younger ones, the one who keeps the skills alive inside you, and all about you.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING ON A FRIENDSHIP

A blessing for a friendship where your best self is given permission to emerge and grow, and where mutual love is shared in good times and in bad.

May your friendship be blessed with laughter, but never at the expense of the dignity of one of you.  

May your friendship be a delight to you both, a time of warmth and sharing, give and take, small offerings of what you have sent back and forth between you.  May you be kind to each other, and honest too.  

May you have the trust that true friendship needs to speak of things for the soul, and may there be loyalty, one to the other, without chains or obedience, but freely given.  

May there be affinities of the spirit, differences to exalt in, and if harsh thoughts or words enter in and blight the path or your companionship, may you pick them up as a stone in the road, and move them out of your way.   

Let there be mutual care, and may your friendship endure amidst the inconsistencies of the world.  Let  your friendship have its seasons, but let it turn, on and on, ever – changing, ever-returning, to the place where you find love for each other, and greater love of self for knowing one another.  

BLESSED BE.

A BLESSING OF FORGIVENESS

A blessing to be able to be free of the burden of grudges and vengeance, a prayer to help you open up to the blessing that is forgiveness.  

Forgiveness is a tricky beast – and yes, for all it is a gentle word, it is a great beast, forgiveness.  For when we seek to forgive, we must wrestle with the wrongdoing that lies at the heart of our resistance to let go of the pain we are holding on to.  When we need to forgive, it is often that we are too raw, too far away from justice to be able to even touch the side of the balm of forgiveness.

Yet staying angry for long periods of time can develop into a compacted bitterness, and bitterness is a gall to all who wish to live freely.

But what can we do when the wrong is still very much alive,and to forgive another seems to be diminishing their harm, and their potential to harm others.

Justice and forgiveness must work hand in hand, and in this blessing they will now begin to entwine, so that while you begin to forgive first yourself, for whatever wrong was done to you, there is often an element of self-blame.

First, know that whatever wrong was done to you, it is not your fault.  And begin the work of forgiving yourself.  

May the blessing of this self-forgiveness be bestowed upon you now, dear friend.  Know you will gently untangle the doubt and recriminations that have settled like thorns about your heart, and invaded your mind’s peace.  And as begin to forgive yourself, you will also begin to find forgiveness for the injustices you have endured  

Let the anger burn down into coals from which you, phoenix-like, can arise.  

And know you have forgiven – forgiven the other for their dark gift.  Forgiven life.  And most of all, delivered the pure medicine of forgiveness to yourself.

BLESSED BE

Wowzer, those were glorious guides.  As quite frankly, if you aren’t willing to work with forgiveness you can’t create something different, something more supportive.  So my delicious lovely, another free gift is a beautiful ritual to plant your Seeds of Intention.  Equinox blessings and see you in 2 weeks.  

Equinox is Coming! And we say Goodbye to Winter!

Happy, Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Magnificent, Merry, Manifesting March Monday!  

Whoot! Whoot!  March is here and I am thrilled (trust me if you could see the happy dance I am doing you would laugh).

I am thrilled because the wild daffs are out, there are carpets of vibrant crocus amongst the Garry Oaks, the forsythia is in full glorious bloom and this all means that Spring is coming!

Which it is!  Which heralds a new astrological cycle and Equinox!

A week today here in the Northern Hemisphere we have Spring Equinox (aka Ostara). 

I am celebrating by leading an in person circle, for the first time since moving here, a glorious Equinox circle in Creatrix Circle, and a circle for a wonderful colleague!

(So can you say – focused and wiggly excited!!)

Now you may be shaking your head and thinking – yeah, so what Jenn.  Oh little one, Spring Equinox is a huge energetic time as it’s the time of Birth.  The Birth of ideas, goals, desires, dreams and hope. 

It’s the time to plant seeds literally and figuratively. 

It’s a time of growth, hopefulness, lightness of being and spirit, and things that warm our innermost hearts as much as the glorious spring sunshine does the outdoor world. 

For myself my whole mind, body and soul responds to the seasons and I have found that when I allow that alignment with the cycles of nature as a practice it is exceptionally transformative. 

This is a huge part of the reason why I create the Magickal Manuals for the seasons and celebrations!  So currently there is the glorious Ostara Magickal Guide and the Mabon Magickal Manual.

Our bodies know, it’s built into our Ancestral memory and our DNA. 

There was a time when we were deeply connected to these rhythms, but, over time, technology and our modern culture has separated us from those celestial vibes and our own inner knowing.  (Think about it, when you are surrounded by 8 feet of snow in winter time, are you craving a salad?  I don’t believe so!)

However, before we barrel into celebrating Spring it’s important to recognise that the changing seasons are a meaningful time of reflection.  

And as much as we like to look forward (what will the new season bring? how do I want to grow & expand in the months ahead?), it’s equally important to look backward.

It’s important to look back on the chapter that’s ending, before a new one begins.

How can you truly integrate your experiences if you’re so eager to just move forward?

How can you integrate the lessons you learned from the things that challenged you, if you just keep facing forward – never pausing to reflect before jumping into the next new chapter of adventures & experiences??

This time at the end of winter is a liminal space: it might not fully feel like winter anymore, but it also doesn’t fully feel like spring. We’re in an in-between time, a time of transition. And it is the PERFECT time to look back on winter & reflect on the wisdom this season brought you.

And when you take the time to do this kind of meaningful reflection, you’re able to move forward into spring a bit wiser, a bit more evolved – and better prepared to truly embrace the powerful growth energy about to flood into your life.

Here are some really insightful, empowering questions to ask yourself here at the end of winter:

  • What inner wisdom did you gather on your journey inward this winter? What did you learn about yourself?
  • What challenged you this winter? Where have you felt uncomfortable or out of sorts?
  • What lessons did you learn? About yourself & about your life??
  • Where is it clear you are ready to grow?

Okay, I have chuntered on (which I tend to do when passionate about something that is life changing).  So let’s crack on with the reading.

This week we have lovely, delicious new guides who wanted to come play and they made me smile.  As they are the glorious guides of the “Herbal Astrology Oracle.”  So please, let me introduce you.  

As above, so below.  As within, so without.  Today, many of us seek to reclaim the sense of connectedness that existed universally in ancient cultures, when human fate was wholly entwined with nature.  

The world was seen as a symbiotic entity in which all living organisms interacted and supported each other, from the innermost cellular level to the outermost cosmological level.  An essential bridge is being rebuilt between humans and nature, allowing us to access the realm of the transcendent and the land of the luminous.   

Herbalism is the medicine of belonging, a gateway through which we keep alive a very sacred aspect to our source.  

Perfect guides as we move to Equinox!

There is a lovely guided visualisation to help you tap into the Spring Energy and really strengthen your intentions if you so choose.  

If not, just breathe.  Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth and allow yourself to settle in.  Then when you are ready see in your mind’s eye a glorious young green shoot.  This is your intention, your desire – invite it in and as you breathe into this gorgeous green being pick the card or cards that whisper to you.  

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

RUE

Protection

Rue is known as the “Herb of Grace” or the “Blessed Herb”.

In Spanish it is known as ruda, and in Greek, it is reuo, which means to “set free”.

Rue is considered a powerful and protective plant with a long and detailed historical use in both medicine and ceremonial rituals.  Early physicians considered Rue a vital remedy against plagues, pestilence, and poison.  

Rue is said to be the herb of angels, granting us the ability to channel the angelic realms.

It emanates golden energy, like a Lion, powerfully protecting and pouring in light into any space that it inhabits.  Resilient like the wide array of Solar herbs, it grows generously and abundantly, thriving in all kinds of terrain, demonstrating its strong life force and vitality.

Rue has come to remind you to protect your aura from lurking and unhealthy people, spirits or situations that might be consuming your energy.

Don’t allow parasitic negativity to darken your field, which can create perpetual states of self-criticism, self-doubt, or self-loathing.  

Call upon Rue’s power to shield your body with angelic forces and restore radiance, vitality, and love in your atmosphere.  

Rue is ruled by the Sun and Pluto.

TULSI

Wealth

The Tulsi Goddess sits proudly facing her beautiful Peacock, symbolising heaven on Earth.

She raises her arms with grace, aiming them like wands to catalyse magic and wealth.  

The fountain is centred between the Goddess and the Peacock, representing the wellspring created between Earth, the manifest world, and Heaven, the spirit world.  

Peacock embodies the medicine of auspiciousness, magic, and beauty, reminding us that we are the living gateway to the greatest of mysteries.

Tulsi has come to you today to teach you that the key to Jupiter’s doorway (abundance and wisdom) is to live, create, and communicate from a place of wonder, innocence, and impeccability (Mercury), rather than doubt or confusion.

Don’t be fooled by material possessions or the vanity often worshipped in the material world.

Tune into the deeper realities that abound around you; be spontaneous and celebrate your temple just as you are.

Tulsi, also known as Tulasi, is frequently mentioned as one of the main pillars of herbal medicine in ancient Ayurvedic texts, some dating back to as far as 5000 BC.

It is known as the “Incomparable One”, the “Queen of Herbs,” and the “Mother Medicine of Nature.”

With its ability to enhance cerebral circulation and memory, Tulsi greatly embodies the archetype of Mercury, the great communicator who governs our conscious mind, perception, understanding along with primarily the nervous system, and respiratory system.

PALO SANTO

Guardian

Palo Santo is a protective wand that grants us the power of unlocking innate gifts that have laid dormant, inactive, or blocked.

Palo Santo, like the Fox, is here to assist you as a spirit guide, who helps you navigate the spirit world.

The Sechuran Foxes, native to South America, nestle among the desert forest of Palo Santo for shelter, living in symbiosis with these precious trees.

Foxes are symbolic of the afterlife, invisibility, and the sacred trickster.

Palo Santo neutralises the venom of dark tricksters and alchemises its poison into gold; becoming the sacred trickster.  

Palo Santo is here to remind you to activate your dormant gifts.  

You are a guardian of the sacred that has walked many paths; know that you can neutralise the greatest poisons, back talk, smack talk and most certainly outwit the smartest of tricksters.  

Palo Santo’s medicinal qualities  are very Plutonic in nature, as it powerfully cleanses malignant energy, while being highly invocatory and perfect for strong intention setting.  

Palo Santo has a long history of use as a magic wand that unlocks innate gifts that have lain dormant, inactive, or blocked, like wisdom, intuition, and sight to see into the past and past lives.  

Wow, what glorious messages and guidance as we play with the building Spring Equinox energy!  By the way, thank you for all your lovely messages and shares, I soooo appreciate hearing how you are.  Remember to gift yourself one of the Magickal Manuals to embody this energy fully.  Sending you massive squeezes, warm sunbeams and a bouquet of bobbly daffodils.  See you next week! (Maybe lol).

Spring is Here and this Inspiring Energy wants you to Grow!

Hippity, Happity, Hoppity Marvellous, Manic, Mizzly, Manifesting, March Monday!

Spring is Here!!!!!

Friday’s Full Moon was the last full moon of the winter, and yesterday heralded Spring Equinox/Ostara, and I have to admit I am piggly, wiggly excited!  (Now if you are in the Southern Hemisphere you just had the last full moon of summer and are welcoming in the Autumnal Equinox).

We made it through the dark Winter months & here we are at Spring’s new beginning. It’s the dawn of a new day, a new season. A new chapter is beginning for you.

Spring is a joyful time, with themes of awakening, rebirth, and new life. Nature is waking up after her long Winter’s rest. Everything’s coming alive; the natural world is being reborn.

This same thing is happening within you – in your life & in your spirit.

With the arrival of Spring it’s time to let your Soul take a deep breath of fresh air and to bring up the visions and creations it has been incubating over the winter time.  

What are those seeds you want to plant literally and figuratively?  

I had epic plans for a glorious Spring Equinox celebration of a massive intense hike along the rugged west coast whilst hiding tiny, hand painted faery doors in the woods for others to find.  But you know what they say about “The best laid plans of mice and men?”  Exactly!

Instead of my epic adventure, I had the joy of a weird upper respiratory thing for the last 10 days that made me feel low energy, grumpy as all get out and just generally unwell (let alone the delicious coughing).  So, it was time to readjust and not cling to “but I planned this.”

Open door number 2 and create a different day, which was delicious!  

I got up before the sun rose and went to an empty beach to watch it rise over the horizon and drew sigils in the sand.  Had a long rambling walk with Danu under the canopy of old, old trees whilst the creek rushed by.  Went on the hunt for White Sage seeds, and found them!  Planted seeds in the garden (even in the rain), and then took time out to get clear on what are my Soul Seeds, what do I want to create more of with this season.  

I then decorated a few eggs with symbols of what these Soul Seeds look like and did the Egg Divination ritual that I shared with you last week.  (Oomancy at its finest!)  Then to top it off I decided I wanted cake – so I made a glorious Black Forest cake to snarfle down in the evening with a gorgeous cuppa tea.

All in all it was a really lovely, mindful, celebratory Spring Equinox.  

How did you spend yours?

Remember, Equinox marks the beginning of Spring, so if you haven’t had time to set your Soul Seeds that you are going to sow and tend, there’s still time.  Grab the Ostara Magickal Guide to help you with this.  And for those who have asked – there are still a few spots left in the Spring Equinox Reading Special.  

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

Note the line –  This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul. 

Your Soul Seeds!!!

The crystals that wanted to show off are absolutely brand spanking new as I went to a Rock and Gem show on the weekend.  (It takes rocks and gems for me to want to be in a crowd of people).  We have the Red Graphic Feldspar, Pegmatite and Pinolite.  Aren’t they quite scrummy?

Okay darling one, settle.  Just allow the cares to slide off and breathe, breathe yourself back into your body.  Calling all of the pieces of you back home.  As you breathe, I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a packet of seeds.  These seeds are very, very special as they are your Soul Seeds.  As you gently shake them into your hand, getting ready to plant them, what are they?  What images swirl up?  When you’re ready pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a wee look, shall we?

FULFILMENT

The peach tree blooms early, and because of this, it is often a symbol of Spring and the renewal of life.  It is also the Chinese symbol of a happy marriage and of fertility.  

In some traditions, it stands for immortality.  

Ripe peaches also portend fertility, fecundity, and a great fulfilment.  In Korean traditions, the peach represents happiness, riches, honours and longevity.

Fulfilment is at hand.  No matter what is occurring in your life, put your attention on what is splendid, pleasurable, and luscious.

Find bliss in the moment.  Love fully, deeply, without hesitation.

Cherish your friendships.

Fill your life with people, experiences and places that give you delight.  Let go of people and things that don’t feel empowering and that drag your energy down.  

You no longer need to put the needs of others ahead of your own needs.  If you’ve had any health issues, a ripe peach represents a return to better health.

Savour your life with gusto and with grace.

Experience and embrace life in all its permutations.  If you want to conceive a new baby; or a new project, or start a new relationship, this is an excellent omen for a great outcome.

 TRANSFORMATION

It’s not an accident that the butterfly represents transformation, rebirth, and resurrection.

Remarkably, when the caterpillar becomes a chrysalis, it doesn’t just instantly become a butterfly; it actually dissolves into a kind of soup,

In other words, it liquefies itself…..and out of that emerges something completely different.  It is a true transformation.

In some cultures, blue butterflies are considered very good luck and even wish granters.

In Native American tribes, it is believed that a wish whispered to a butterfly will be granted when it flies to the heavens.  The Native American shawl dance, which celebrates renewal, is derived from the butterfly dance.  

Also, the colour blue represents calmness, peace, and spiritual attunement: and the blue butterfly is thought to carry all these meanings.

This is the time for change, reinvention, or a rebirth into a new way of being.

If you’ve been plodding along, it’s time to take measures to shift everything.  Don’t resist change.

The blue colour suggests a spiritual renewal or initiation.  

Transformation doesn’t mean taking something old and remodelling it or rearranging a few things: it means becoming something completely different……or doing something completely different.  

Change is often uncomfortable, but it is usually for the highest good.  

FLOW

A meandering river is a waterway that cures, bends, turns, and seems to swing side to side as it flows forward.  Viewed from above it looks sinuous and even snakelike.  

Meandering rivers are dynamic as they wind their way across valley floors and bring life-giving sediment to new habitats.  

The word meander was derived from the ancient Meander River, which flows into the Aegean Sea.  The Greeks created symbols for “meander” that have been described as some of the most important symbols for ancient Greek culture; they represented the fluid movement of water and the eternal flow of all life.

The twisting patterns were also thought to represent the serpent, which was the symbol of healing, hence our present day symbol for doctors is the caduceus.  It is also the symbol for the Shakti energy that resides at the base of the spine.  

There are times to hold on tight to the shore, and there are times to enter the flow.  Notice where life is going and move in that direction.

Watch for signs and follow them.  Don’t resist.  When you go with the flow, your life-force expands and healing on all levels abounds.  This is also the time to release old, limiting patterns, forgive and let go of the need to be right about your beliefs.  

If you aren’t feeling the smooth currents of life, it might mean that you’re being self-critical or judgmental.  When you enter the flow with gratitude and love, you will find blessings surrounding you.

You will enter into a state of grace, and healing will abound.  

Wow!  Those were amazing messages for this lovely time.  How did your cards feel?  Remember to take some time to plant your Soul Seeds and honour your soul yearnings.  Next week we will chat about a healing circle that we are all going to create, as I feel we all could do with some of that, let alone the rest of the world.  Sending you big hugs and squeezes.  Happy Spring!

Spring is Coming and Opportunity abounds. Which Seeds are You wanting to Plant?

Happy Magickal, Magnetic, Mesmerising, Marvellous, Moodling, Mild, March Monday!

Here we are on the first Monday of March, Spring is frigging coming!  I don’t know about you but I can most certainly feel it in the air, energetically in my body and most certainly in my mind.  In fact this last weekend I spent time playing outdoors, cutting out faery doors and listening to the birds that woke me early in the morning.

Spring Equinox is a joyful celebration centred around rebirth and growth.  Spring represents a new day; it’s dawn in the wheel of the year. A new sun is rising. Life is waking up in the warm sunlight & your spirit feels ready to make a fresh start.  It’s a gorgeous invitation to take off the heavy coat of winter, to gently step out of the cocoon or cave and plant the seeds you want to harvest.  (And to help you with that I have two lovely gifts for you!)  The first is the Ostara Magickal Guide and the other is a glorious Spring Equinox Reading special, but read on.  

With the Spring Equinox your spirit is waking up with new ideas & new dreams for your life.

It’s fresh, warm energy has the power to make you feel alive & inspired.  It’s time to think of the seeds you want to plant from your winter slumber and harvest this year.  The end of winter can sometimes feel a little rocky. The energy shifting from an inward-focus to outwardly-focused can make you feel a bit off-kilter.

The dark months are now over & we’re moving into the warmth of the light. (The sun will continue to grow until the Summer Solstice, when it begins its turn inward again.)  Implementing changes required in order to grow & flourish, can really disrupt your sense of equilibrium in late winter. But with the Spring Equinox, the Earth returns to a place of perfect balance. Day & night are equal, the light & the dark––bringing the return of some much-needed balance into your own life.

This is why I have created two gifts for you!  (As the Creative Juices are flowing).

The first is the Ostara Magick Guide (or as I am fondly referring to her as – OMG!)  Rituals, lore, how to harness this spectacular energy, card spreads, crystals and all sorts of other yumminess.  

The other gift is a Reading Special (as many of you have asked is there going to be one), and yes.  Yes!  There will be a simple one to point out where you need to focus and then a brand new one!

A first time, gorgeous Spring Equinox reading special where you plant your seeds, see what needs to be weeded out, how to nurture, fertilise and what is going to unfold.  As after all, this is the month of Opportunity.

I will let Lena share the Shamanic energy of this month.  The main theme for March is “OPPORTUNITY”.

“March is a potentially magical month of manifesting, movement, expansion, resetting and refining intentions, increasing your intuition, and creating something new. We should all feel a sense of relief as obstacles and challenges are sidelined and take a less active part in our daily progress. Of course, we have to allow for more ease by trusting that what is showing up as an opportunity is not too good to be true.

So, this is the month to reverse caution and inhibition, and to infuse ourselves with inspiration, hope and trust.  The biggest obstacle we face this month is our own distrust and resistance to having things go well for a change. The opportunity to shift attitude from cynicism to optimism is huge. Optimism is expansive while cynicism diminishes the options. Even if you are not naturally an optimist, make it a disciplined practice to include it in your day.

Opportunities this month can take many forms. ………“

So with the energy of Spring approaching and Opportunities abounding, remember – some days you are going to be so inspired and filled with so much vim and vigour that you want to go conquer the world, other days you may feel like you want to hide out in a dark closet with a large bottle of wine and a straw!  

The most important thing is to just let it flow and stay focused on your Seeds of Intention, okay?

Okay, with that all being said – let’s crack on with the reading.  The cards that were dancing with glee to come and guide this week are the wonderful Oracle of the Dragonfae.  Now if these guides are new to you, let me introduce them (as that’s the polite thing to do).  These guides are the magickal and mystical that weave through the threads of every day, they are the Dragonfae, Gods and Goddesses who dwelt in dimensional lands….Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu, they are Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin and others – fully alive and filled with magick! They are the deliciously magickal beings that have always been there, we just forgot, and when we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life on this beautiful green and blue planet, known by some as Gaia, by others as Dana, and by many other names.

So let’s settle in shall we?  Just take a moment and before you pick a card or cards, allow the energy of Spring to swirl around you.  New beginnings, growth, transformation and light.  If you need more help there’s a glorious guided visualisation for you (and it isn’t long, so don’t fret).

Then when you are ready, pick.

Let’s go have a look shall we?

THE BLUE LADY

Nothing is impossible

Nothing is impossible.  Nothing.  Those who tell you now that what you wish for, that what you year for, that the road you take is too hard, too difficult, too challenging…that it is not for you, for yours is not of the adventure of the dream, yours is of compromise and slow heartbreak…I am here to tell you they are wrong.

People may be speaking to you from their fear; they tell you that what you wish for and hope for cannot be…and it’s not about the mundane, it is about precious jewels of hope that form our existence and our identity.  The question truly is:who do you wish to be?  An amalgamation of the fear and conditionings of others?  Or do you wish to bravely be yourself and risk the falls that  may come?  Because The Lady of the Blue Rose tells you that falls will come, as will resistance, but she also tells you that breaking through to the other reality is your role this lifetime: to carve out a path for yourself and to light the way for others travellers.  You are  unlimited – do not allow fear to bind you and burden you.  You are free, and as such, the impossible is simply an act of magickal will and self-determination.  

Summon your inner courage, and cast away the thought that courage is muscled and wears armour and a shield.  Courage can be gentle and delicate too:  it simply needs to stay true to who it is and what it does. Take steps to separate advice that come from experience (wisdom) and advice that come from fear (conditioning).  

Understand that you are the being who must make the decision about your path: no matter how caught up and bound you feel you are, there is always a way to be truly free.  And that is by expressing the essence of you, and being true to your own heart and talents and powers.  Stay strong, stay true, and do not waver.  

HIDEKI’S DOOR

A knock on the door

I know you wish to reach out, and yet you hold back.  I know you feel drawn to knock on this door and to see whether it will be answered this time…and yet you fear so much.  You fear that it will not be answered…that the answer or the face that appears beyond the door will not be to your liking…that if you enter, you may never return…  I cannot put your fears to rest, for only you can do that.  But I can tell you what I see.  

I see a spirit whose flame has flickered low,, whose light is in danger of going out if it does not take the next step.  For years you have passed this door and many times you have found yourself here.  You may even have knocked at the door, only to flee, like a terrified child, before the door was opened to you.  

I say to you now: it is time.  Reach out.  Knock at the door.  And let what will be, be.  

Nervous about a new chance…feeling as though your comfort zone is far better than the unknown; longing to travel and to change, yet unwilling to do anything about it; procrastinations and old habits keeping you from reaching out and accepting what is being offered.  

You are ready…it is simply nerves that are holding you back, conditioned fears and internalised voices from the past.  Reach out…take a hold of the handle and be ready for the wonder of the unknown that lies beyond the door.  The doors of perception are about to change…forever.   

You have nothing to fear, except fear freezing your hand, again.  Knock on the door.  All is well.

THE DRAGONFAE GODDESS TIAMET

You are stronger than you think

I know who you are.  I know the good of you, the multiplicity of you, and the incredible richness of you.  I know what you have survived.  I know what great lies have been told.  I know how hard the path has been, how deep the despair, how savage the untruths.  I am here to help you restore your own sense of glory, your own truth, your own shining self.  The truth is that you are all things and all beings, you are magnificent and truthfully Heaven is your mother, the Earth is your mother, the sea is your mother and the fire of creation is yours, too.

You are all these things – star being, dragonkin, sea-creature, Earth dweller and forest child.  You are sea and salt, and wood and stone, and you are grander and more magnificent than words or thoughts can tell you of.

Tiamet’s energy can be almost overwhelming, but she is such a strong, super-protective mother being.  Yet she is here to remind us of our very nature, the roots of our existence, the atoms of our being.  It’s time to work with the knowledge of the eternal nature of the soul, be aware of your own soul’s journey through time and space, be aware that you are made up of galactic (star) material, earthly materials, of the ocean of fire.  A time when others say things about you that are not only untrue, they are inspired by their own fear.  Soon you will have recognition and a kind of rebirth, and you will realise that you are a strong warrior, a being whose spirit can never be vanquished, just as your complexity and brilliance can never be fully captured in words or images.  

Build something for you, now, and for the generations to come.  Consider the legacy you wish to leave for your descendants and for the panet, and work from this place.  Surround yourself with people who share your values and insights, and learn more about what it is that you can do to stop others being persecuted.  Know that no matter what appears to have happened and no matter how tragic or disastrous it may seem to be, you are in fact strong enough to not only cope, but to transcend this circumstance and rise again.  

You are greater than those who have hurt you and you no longer need to live with fear.  You will soon be free, washed clean and reborn to yourself.  Never underestimate your own strength.  Just quietly begin to build again.  

Wow!  Deliciously fabulous and such powerful messages from the Dragonfae guides.  Opportunities, Transformation and Choice.  Yum!  Wishing you a fantabulous week and may the approaching Spring energy lighten your heart, inspire your creativity and guide you to the seeds to plant.  Remember to grab one of the Reading Specials and the Ostara Magickal Guide (OMGoddess), they will both help and support you as we come to this place of balance and new beginnings.  Big hugs and squeezes.

March, Meditation and Mundanity.

· ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Marvelous, Mellow, Momentous, Meteoric, Mirthful March Monday delicious lovely!  That’s right we are in a new month – March, the promise of Spring! 

Can you feel the energy slowly building- the energy of rebirth, release and rejuvenation?  I sure can and thankfully Mumma Nature has been showing off with swaths of snowdrops carpeting the hillsides and massive clumps of wild daffodils popping up in the most random places.  I so love their bright yellow heads that bob and dance in the breeze or the rain, they literally scream “Spring is coming”, which it is with Spring Equinox on the 20th!  Whoot! 

The birds have come flooding back and they happily empty out the bird feeder once every 3 days (greedy little buggers), and the other afternoon, as I sat out in the sun pondering the design of my Witches garden, I laughed to watch two chubby, chubby little nuthatches give themselves a thorough scrub down in the bird bath.  They were filled with pure glee and throwing water everywhere.  

I love this time of year.  There’s a glorious sense of promise, growth, celebration and I love, love, love it!  What signs of Spring are you seeing around you?

Many of you have messaged and emailed asking when the doors to Creatrix Circle are going to open again and if there is going to be an Equinox reading special.  Well, I am pleased to let you know that Creatrix Circle will be opening her doors on March 8th until March 21st (the day after equinox and the first time since December).  Thus, if you want to join a circle of like minded, amazing women, deepen into your practice and listen to the messages of your DNA that speak to you of your witch, wise woman, alchemist side – come join us!  Also, there will be an Equinox reading special from March 15th until March 21st.  I hope that answers your questions.  

So, I have a question for you – meditation – do you do it? 

We all know that meditation helps us to destress, relax and lower our blood pressure, but it also connects us to our higher self.  The wise one, the teacher and the guide that is in us.  It also connects us to the Divine on a clear channel that is not filled with static.  Yet………….. Yet many have shared with me that “they don’t have the time”, the time to go sit on the special meditation cushion, with the candle lit and quiet reigning around them.  I agree, life can be busy, but why does meditation have to happen in such a controlled environment?

With this Full Moon in Virgo that happened on Saturday, we were invited to connect to our Higher Self.  Fabulous, but if we don’t have time to manicure the details to make it pleasing for us, how does that happen?  At our Full Moon gathering in Creatrix Circle we explored that and an invitation for the next two weeks of a reframe was thrown down.

Virgo, is the sign associated with those routines that comprise most of our days— working, running errands, preparing meals—as well as the habits we form through repetition of those routines. For the most part, we regard these habits and routines as entirely separate from our spiritual lives.  But something is being lost, I think, in our determination to avoid these humble occupations; it’s often the small, ordinary tasks that offer the most accessible route from unconscious habit to mindful ritual, as well as the most frequent opportunities for attempting the journey. 

Intention, and consciousness. You can sweep the kitchen floor each evening and hardly notice doing it, beyond a vague desire to have it over with as quickly as possible. But imagine you instead give your full attention to sweeping the floor carefully and thoroughly, visualizing the debris and disorder of your mind being swept away with the bread crumbs. Feel the difference? 

Why make such a big deal out of sweeping a floor? Because we don’t live for frigging ever!  Do you really have five minutes every day—more than thirty hours each year!—to waste on meaningless, unconscious activity? Why not use those five minutes as a sort of practical prayer, to celebrate being alive?

 Ritual is not magic; it is ordinary, everyday action performed with magical intention. It is the union of practical and spiritual.  

Ritual is ordinary action carefully performed with extraordinary intention. It is how we honor the invisible with visible gestures. 

During the next two weeks between the Virgo Full Moon and the next New Moon, ferret out those circumstances that bore you, irritate you, or overwhelm you. Where in your life do you encounter drudgery, the feeling you’re “just going through the motions”? Where are you most likely to be annoyed or short tempered with others? What ordinary situations make you feel so overwhelmed, you no longer know how to untangle them? These are situations that suggest unconsciousness. They are situations which, if approached with intention rather than a sense of distasteful obligation, present the greatest avenue for your spiritual growth right now.  Willing to give it a try and turn Mundanity into a delicious conversation with the Divine?

Okay, I have chuntered on so let’s crack on with the reading.  

So interestingly enough when I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide and teach this week, I was tickled when The Oracle of the Dragonfae were adamant.  Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you:-  These guides are the magickal and mystical that weave through the threads of every day, they are the Dragonfae, Gods and Goddesses who dwelt in dimensional lands….Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu, they are Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin and others – fully alive and filled with magick! They are the deliciously magickal beings that have always been there, we just forgot, and when we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life on this beautiful green and blue planet, known by some as Gaia, by others as Dana, and by many other names. 

We all need some wisdom and magic in our worlds on a daily basis.  

Ready?  I invite you to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth for a few deep, long breaths.  As you breathe, see in your mind’s eye that everything you do is a living prayer.  And remember, all that you touch you change and that all that you change, Changes You!.  Breathe this way for however long you have and when your shoulders have relaxed away from  your ears and your jaw is loose pick the card or cards that resonate for you at this time.  

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s have a look shall we?

THE LADY ALFREDA

Know you this: that whatsoever you send out, you attract back to the power of three.  Intent has energy, as do thoughts, feelings and emotions, and once released, this vibrational thought field radiates out and attracts back to you that which was sent out.  This is the Law of the Threefold return, an ancient Law that the wise ones have known of for many a year, though many of the humans have refused to listen to its wisdom.  

So, if you cry out an injustice, and if you are in pain, you must clear the reasons these manifestations of the Law were brought to you, were drawn to you, by you.  As you think, so will you live.  As you do, others will do unto you.  This is the magickal law.

Do not be afraid of this truth:  see it as a source of freedom.  There is no blame in this karmic truth, for all that you send out will return.  There is no other place for it to go.  Your own underworld initiation is ending soon, and the dark will soon come to be but a place full of rest, release, wisdom and deep, ancient knowledge.  The Law is the Law.  And the Lady’s Law is love unto all.  Follow this, and the Threefold Return will work its magicks.  

Do you not know the truth?  Your own underworld is not hell, but your dark time in the cauldron of your experience, your growth, your understanding, your knowledge.  Now you have the knowledge of the Law, will you work with it, knowing it to be truth?

It is time to get real and own what you have previously blamed on others.  This does not mean blaming yourself.  Instead work on shifting your own karmic residue (Dragonfae are wonderful at this!) and understanding the connections between what you have sent out and what you have created.  Look to your own intent.  Make friends with your shadow and thank it for the lessons.  

MELUSINE

Keys are rare in the realm of spirit; but I now provide you with a key that will open the door to who you truly are.  Your true feelings about self-worth and self-love have been hidden, locked away for years, but now they will be revealed, and healed, for all time.  For there is a part of you that you feel is not suitable to be shown to others, particularly in romantic relationships.  You feel that this part of you is unacceptable and lacking in beauty. 

However, this part of you, in being denied, is causing pain and guilt to surface within relationships where there need be none.  You deserve to be loved for all of you, for the parts that are claws and thorns, for your lines and your grief, for your irritability and your sadnesses.

I Melusine, do not say to go into these parts and stay there, but know that what you consider to be unacceptable is in fact part of your beauty – and true beauty is wholeness.  Come forward and be revealed, and never again mistrust or reject a portion of who you are.  Embrace your scars and flaws, and see them as wonderful differences that only make you unique, and very real.  Open your heart, unlock the door and step out of the enchanted chamber in which you have hidden this aspect of who you are.  Love all of you, your body and soul, your mind and spirit, your ancestry and your trials and challenges.

You are perfect, whole and complete, with the unique stamp of this individual body and soul upon you.  I will help you love yourself more truly and deeply than ever before.  Take this key, and unlock the secret parts of you.  Let them see the light, and know that you are safer for doing so than you have ever been before, in any of your numerous lifetimes.

DREAMCATCHER

I am the Dragonfae being who comes in the night, who travels through the dimensions to the doorway of the worlds.  I will stand while you sleep and send you messages that you can unravel in your waking hours.  All that is no longer needed will come to me, if you allow it, and I will catch it in my web between my hands, lit up by the light that travels from the solar plexus of this Universe, the being you call Sun, but which I call Bel.  This Bel shines through your day and at night I reflect that light into you, cleansing what is irritating and difficult for you, but keeping all that which you need to go forward.  

There is nothing to fear from the presence of we dream beings…I am yours, and in your dreams we will journey, we will explore, we will share and we will be happy together.  I will help you reach your goals and if you believe, great blessing from Spirit will be yours.  We are part of the same tribe and your blood is mine.  This dreamcatcher is at your service.

Every night you allow me to visit, I will be your protector, your solar plexus will be opened a little further and your light will shine a little brighter in this world.  I can help you see the threads of your future and to follow them.  Let me into your dreams.  Invite me in.  This is my request of you.

Holy Hannah, gotta love the messages for this week – intention, being yourself and allowing support in your dream space.  So gorgeous one, I wish for you a week filled with the signs of Spring to remind you of rebirth, change and delight.  I also invite you to look upon the things that you consider “mundane or drudgery” as an opportunity to connect with something bigger than yourself.  Sending you big hugs and squeezes and see you next week!
