Spring Equinox

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.

Ostara (Equinox) and when you hit a Plateau!

Jenny Heston · 11:11 pm ·

Happy Merry, Magickal, Majestic, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting March Monday! (How was that for alliteration!)

How are you delicious lovely? I have heard from many of you over the last week that you have felt “off”, energy has been out of whack, headaches, tears and all sorts of dis-comfort. I totally get it! This last week has been a doozy energetically for all sorts of dramas, bullshit and dross (most of it not my doing but yet seemed to suck me in and twirl me in circles).

However, when I was talking with one of my spiritual mentors about it and complaining how it felt like a really unpleasant plateau and my resistance to it all, he laughed! (Yes, the man actually laughed at me!)

He then went on to point out that plateaus are a good thing. They are the resting place, the gestation place, almost like a threshold between two ways of being and instead of getting super bent out of shape and squirting sideways take the time to lean back into that space and allow oneself to use it for a time of nourishment, as after the Equinox it’s all about the growth baby! Which I have to say makes total sense to me as I can feel something burbling and ready to launch forth.

So this Saturday March 20th is Equinox (Ostara) and seriously, who doesn’t want to celebrate Spring? As a kid Spring time was filled with woodland flowers and baby lambs popping out everywhere and bouncing like mad fiends over the grass. Thus, I think that really nailed down the fact that I love Spring Equinox! Everything is starting to reach, expand and grow! Many of you have given feedback on the Ostara Magick Manual saying how much you are enjoying it, I’m so glad! They will be available until March 22nd.

After a wet, gray winter, the idea, the knowing and the full Trust that Spring is going to come is amazing. To me it is about NEW. New plants, new ideas, new ways of moving in the world and releasing the blaugh. Spring Equinox (also known as Ostara), after the goddess Eostre is a fertility holiday, which celebrates the resurgence of life with such symbols as rabbits, cute little chicks and lambs (seeing any similarity to Easter symbols?)

This is a time when the goddess is the Maiden in all her youthful glory, the god is reaching manhood, and energy abounds. So why not tap into that energy to bring the light into your own darkness, if you have any? For example spring cleaning is not just about your home, it’s about removing old or negative energies accumulated over the dark winter months to prepare you for glorious growth. It’s about planting seeds of intention, seeds of growth, seeds of food – it’s about shedding that heavy winter coat and picking up something a tad lighter and a bit more fun. Whoot!!!!

So grab the Ostara Magickal Manual (fondly referred to as OMM) to give you some great ideas, or join Creatrix Circle as OMM is part of your membership and we have our first Ostara gathering this week (very excited), and yes the doors are open until March 22nd where they will close until the Summer Solstice.

Quite a few have asked when the Ostara Reading Special is, it starts today and goes until March 22nd and there are 20 spots open. Thus, there are a few of the readings on special and a new Archetype reading as well. Check it out and see what resonates for you as we step into the energy of Air, expansion and Growth.

Okay, enough chuntering. When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to show and shine I was thrilled to see that the Crystal Mandala Oracle guides were most adamant, and they had an idea of how many of them wanted to join in, so it isn’t the usual 3 cards. Now if these guides are new to you please let me introduce them. “The Earth loves you without condition. She nurtures all life into existence, and that includes you, beloved, from the life that dwells within your body to the life path that will best fulfil your soul destiny.

She provides us with crystals, each one with their own Crystal Angel, to assist us on the journey of becoming all we can be through unconditional love. So with the Crystal Angels of the Earth, and the angels, ascended masters and goddesses that want to assist you in living into the fullness of your divine destiny, to shine your heart light in the world and live your truths with freedom and grace. Welcome dear one.”

Isn’t that just the best welcome? Breathe it in. The crystal that wanted to join in is a gorgeous piece of Labradorite.

Let’s take a moment shall we? Just allow your breath to find it’s own path and rhythm, allow it to become long and deep, filling all the corners of your belly. Then when you are ready, ask your wise self what message do you need to hear as you walk into the Equinox. Then take another deep breath and pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a little look see shall we?

ASCENDED MASTER YOGANANDA & RHODONITE

Empowered Service

We bring you the blessing of empowered service. It is your time to assume your place in the world, at the table of the masters, who serve the loving hand of the Divine. You have been asking for your purpose to be more clearly unveiled and manifested in the world. You have endured lessons of patience. You have learned that spiritual progress can be made even without results being immediately obvious. You have learned trust and a willingness to surrender your personal desires into a larger plan. We know that of which you are capable, and we now invite you to step into the next level of empowered service available to your soul in service to the greater plan of divine love unfolding.

There are moments on the spiritual path that are something like a divine graduation. You may not realise you have been making much progress in the lead-up to those moments; in fact, it is often the times when your mind tells you nothing much is happening that, at another level

You are making great strides.

Some of the most difficult and spiritually empowering lessons you will master on the Earth plane are those of endurance and continued effort in the absence of immediately perceivable results. It may not seem very glamorous or radiant, but being able to labour for the light when you are in darkness is one of the most advanced lessons your soul can master.

What this looks like for each individual will vary; however, you can expect that your work will increase in quality and quantity, that your method of reaching people will either become very clear to you or evolve into a new expression which will better match your increased power.

Trust in your abilities. You do not have to compare or compete with any other. Be open to the changes you feel are happening now – or soon will be – including the opening up of new opportunities, changes that need to happen within your work or your life to better honour who you are and what you are attempting to do through your life purpose.

ARCHANGEL ANAEL & PINK CALCITE

Acceptance

We bring you the gift of acceptance. Rather than encouraging a situation to remain the same the gift of acceptance empowers you to move through an experience, uncovering the opportunity for personal growth and spiritual development that may be at first hidden behind a challenging set of circumstances. Resistance prevents you from being able to see the truth and grow through the opportunities that life brings to you. Acceptance is necessary for you to be present rather than in resistance. When you are present, you can see what is happening more realistically and you become able to respond to it with awareness. Then you shall grow – and obtain more power and wisdom through that process – whilst you also become capable of receiving the divine assistance that will come to help you through any difficulty.

Even if a situation seems challenging, your acceptance is the key to transforming it. It brings relief to your heart It empowers you to take the step forward on your spiritual path that life is presenting to you. Through that step, new opportunities will arise. When you trust that no matter what appears to be, it is safe to trust that life is supporting you to manifest your divine potential; acceptance becomes easier and feels more natural and joyful.

It can seem like self-preservation to resist a situation that appears to be unpleasant or undesirable. The Universe only ever closes a door to you if it would not lead you to where you most need to go. Acceptance doesnèt mean you give up the fight. It means you learn to fight, from the heart, to grow with trust in life’s guiding hand, rather than pushing against it or biting the proverbial divine hand that feeds your soul.

If you relax and accept where you are at, with all that you have accomplished thus far, and even the challenge still ahead, you will move through it with less reactiveness and more conscious awareness and constructive choice. You deserve this. Relax and allow yourself to receive it according to divine grace and compassion.

ASCENDED MASTER BABAJI & DIAMOND

So It Shall Be

We bring you the blessing of so it shall be. There are times when you will go through your life journey without any sign of what is going to happen. You may be working hard to heal an issue or build your dream, and not really know if you are ever going to be successful. You may hope for the best, but not know whether you should really expect the worst. You may sense that the Universe is asking you to trust in how things are going to turn out, and yet giving up your uncertainty is difficult. That usually means total and uncompromising commitment is difficult too. Where there is uncertainty there is often hesitation and procrastination.

Spirit doesn’t want you to miss out on your dreams because you lack faith and therefore, are holding yourself back from “going for it” with all you have within. So you are being given the blessing of divine decree, of absolute confirmation of success and the divine granting of a wish fulfilled. Switch your thinking from possibility to inevitability. It is not a question of if, but of when. Know that you are going to succeed and commit yourself completely. Don’t hold back. Go for it – with gusto! According to divine will, you shall manifest the highest expression of your divine destiny this lifetime. So it shall be.

Life is a wild game of chance and uncertainty; yet somehow, it also proceeds according to a higher plan. Some people find the idea of free will and destiny to be mutually exclusive, yet they are both aspects of the divine expression of life. Destiny is the plan and free will creates the type of journey you have as you evolve into all you can be. Spirit knows what you are capable of this lifetime and it wants to help you in a very particular way to overcome doubt and hesitation. It wants you to be bold and to give yourself permission to stand so completely in your truth that even if the ground underneath you seems to shake, your inner strength and belief will not waver!

There is nothing too difficult or big for the Universe to resolve if you ask for help and then allow it to happen. Ask for signs you can follow and take the steps you can take with clear intention and an open heart.

ANGEL BALTHIEL & ROSE QUARTZ

Heart Healing

We bring you the gift of heart healing. Over many lifetimes, your beautiful heart has loved and lost and loved again. You have learned how to feel joy, pain, suffering and bliss. Your wise heart knows that life is filled with darkness and light, and it chooses to love the Divine and participate in life anyway. You might worry that your heart has been stretched beyond its limit, become closed or broken; yet your heart is filled with divine grace, power and, of course, love. It can and will heal itself to love again, bigger, bolder and braver than ever before. Do not doubt the healing power of your heart.

There is power in your heart to heal through struggle into joy, and your heart has the gift of helping to heal others with love. Your open, kind heart helps soothe others, bringing comfort and reassurance to the world. Trust your heart and let it heal and guide you into the most beautiful and loving divine destiny waiting for you.

The heart is an incredible phenomenon. It works on a physical level tirelessly to keep your body alive. It works spiritually to integrate the messages of the universal heart of the Divine into your field, helping you receive guidance for your life journey. The heart is your wise guide, friend and inspiration for growth. Recognising your heart is capable of being broken and growing back stronger and more loving as it heals, is an incredible accomplishment, and a reminder of just how amazing you are, and how truly powerful love can be.

When you place your hand on your heart and speak simly to the Universe, asking for healing on whatever issue is troubling you, you are using the power of your heart to trigger an outpouring of love from the universal heart. Ask for what you need, for what you want, according to your divine birthright. Know that your heart is your ally, your best friend and your guiding light, with you for your entire life, shining the truth of unconditional divine love from within, whenever you need reminding you are special, you are worthy and you are absolutely loved.

Wowzer! What delicious guides for this week. Empowered Service, Acceptance, Trust and Heart Healing! Love it! So most gorgeous bean, I wish for you an amazing week filled with gentle breezes, clear Intentions, Spring flowers and laughter. Remember that the Equinox reading special is for this week only, the Ostara Magickal Manuals are available until the 22nd and the doors to Creatrix Circle (which you will love) close on the same day. Big hugs and squeezes.

Love and Fear. Equinox bundles are Here!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Manic, Marvellous, Melding, Meaningful, Mindful March Monday! How are you gorgeous one? As we are all aware, this has been a crazy, panic loaded week for a lot of people. I mean seriously, just turn on the news and it’s enough to make you want to curl up in bed with 30 books!

Talk about a huge portion of the population going down the rabbit hole! Which to be honest, I most certainly did on Thursday. Why? I have spent weeks creating two glorious Equinox bundles for you (one for the Northern Hemisphere and one for the Southern) that help you align, flow, delight, embrace the sacred, ignite desires and step into all your are. As Equinox is this Thursday the 19th in the Northern Hemisphere, and on the 20th in the Southern.

Wednesday night I looked at these gorgeous creations, each over 30+ pages long, packed with deliciousness and an amazing guided visualisation, smiled in glee and went and had a cuppa. When I came back they were gone! The laptop had crashed and I hadn’t saved them to Dropbox! WTF!

Thursday morning after not sleeping I dragged my sorry arse out of bed and thought “fuck it” I will go work at the local grocery store, and as I popped the kettle on I inadvertently turned on the news and went even more into that energy and got dragged down into the sink hole of fear. Should I rush out to buy 40 packs of toilet paper? Then the winds picked up to 90km an hour and it felt like the apocalypse was here!

What to do? Go for a walk and swear at every tree, which I did. Go buy cheesy bunny pasta and gobble it all up, which I did. And during all this I reminded myself that I live, eat, breathe and love what was in those bundles, on a day to day basis. I walk my talk. So I came home, sat my arse down and with an iPad wrote, and wrote, and wrote. 40 hours later Ostara and Mabon bundles are even better than before!

But why did I bother, why not buy into the fear and the energy of failure? Because for me to create something that delights, inspires, that is full of alchemy and manifestation, nourishes, heals, guides and supports ALL of us to embrace a sparkling life, our strengths, our magickal gifts, our soul, to live purposefully and with ease is my purpose! I’m pretty clear about that. I even did FB live on Friday (which you know I’m not a huge fan of) as to me even more so now, this was important.

In my world I show up and shine my light as far as the Divine see’s fit! And to be blunt, I love, love, love what I do.

So this got me to thinking about Love and Fear and I remembered A Course in Miracles talking to this point. You can’t have Love and Fear inhabit the same space. Read that again. As the course says: “Every thought you think, word you speak, and action you take proceeds from either your true nature or a distorted illusion. Innocence and guilt, peace and upset, healing and illness all spring from that one fundamental choice.

At various times during the day, especially if you become upset or you face a challenging situation or decision, ask yourself, ‘What is the voice of fear or guilt saying to me now?’. Clearly identify the words and energy of the critical voice. Then ask, ‘What would the voice of love, kindness and encouragement say to me by contrast?’. When you recognise the energetic difference between the harsh demanding voice and the gentle releasing voice, you will clearly see what to do and how to live.”

So what I’m saying is that at this time in space, and with all that is happening. It is VITAL that we be kind and loving with ourselves and with others! I have gone into grocery stores where the energy is one of panic and frenetic “mine, mine” – for goodness sakes I watched a woman buy 25 squash this morning! Why? Because she had to know that SHE was okay. But what about her neighbour? What about the elderly gentleman living down the street from you that smiles when you walk by? What about the young mumma with 3 wee ones under 6? This is a time to connect! To connect to source, earth, yourself and to others. To beam love and light! Pick up the phone, write a letter, make some soup, smile at someone – be kind, beam love and trust.

Do you remember an old kids cartoon called the Care Bears? They each had a symbol on their chubby bellies; love, friendship, fearless, kindness etc. And when they met a challenging situation or someone who was struggling they used to say “Care Bears Unite” and they would beam all that energy towards the other.

We need to be Care Bears. Look in the eyes of the person who is buying 40 cans of shitty soup and smile, show them they are seen. Share what you have. Be kind. Remember, Love and Fear can not inhabit the same space. Which one would you rather be breathing in hourly? We are all in the delicious, crazy journey of life together – reach your hand out to offer help or to ask for help. Both will be there.

Okay, now I gently step off my soap box.

When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to share this week I nearly cried. What perfect guides for this time. Blessed Be. Please let me introduce you to Blessed Be as these guides may be new to you. “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.”

Oh my gosh, positively perfect.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are Rose Quartz – is the stone of universal love. It restores trust and harmony in relationships, encouraging unconditional love. Rose Quartz purifies and opens the heart at all levels to promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace. Amethyst – is a powerful and protective stone. It guards against psychic attack, transmuting the energy into love and protecting the wearer from all types of harm, including geopathic or electromagnetic stress and ill wishes from others. Amethyst is a natural tranquiliser. And last but not least Carnelian – restores vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity. It gives courage, promotes positive life choices, dispels apathy and motivates for success. Carnelian is useful for overcoming abuse of any kind. It helps in trusting yourself and your perceptions.

And the petals came from my “Unicorn” rose that the ocean gifted me with the other day!

So let’s settle in shall we? I invite you to gently come back into your body and into the present moment. Just here, just now. 10 minutes ago is gone, 10 minutes to come hasn’t happened. Just breathe and be here. Let your breathing gently slow and roll your shoulders up and back to release the tension there. And in your minds eye I invite you to see a golden orb of light, this is the light of Blessing, just for you. Breathe that in and smile.

If you want more support I have a delicious guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

A BLESSING ON YOUR DAY

A blessing to bring awareness, to shape and set the energy of the day, and to frame it with light and the possibilities of healing, adventure and gratitude.

May your soul feel called by the song of the day. May this day be gentle and good, clear and sure, filled with grace and gentle reminders of your own divinity. May the people you meet this day show generosity of spirit, be hospitable and welcoming, and open and candid in all their dealings.

May the sky be filled with blue and white, may the green beneath your feet be solid and soft to walk upon. May the rain fall soft and nourishing, and trees whisper to you the secrets that you need to know.

My any challenges you encounter find an answering strength and courage within you, and when you come to your rest this night, may you remember the many blessings this day held, and account for them with the Gods, and be thankful for each of them, no matter how small.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING FOR PEACE OF MIND

A blessing to help soothe the mind at storm with itself, and bring about calm and peace once again.

When you awaken, and trouble is sitting there, with you, right on your shoulder, speaking to you of all you must fret and be fearful of, let this blessing come to you, and be felt truly in your mind, where the turbulence has reigned for too long now.

Let the quiet of the natural day steal in, let the soft call of your spirit whisper to you that you have worried too long, and that it is time to set down your burden and let the angels and spirit beings deal with what cannot be unravelled by the labyrinth of thought.

Let it go, and let it be, for it is not for you to do what others will not, cannot, or remain ignorant of. It is for you now, to care for you. Let peace, that quiet blessing, softly take up residence in your mind, and speak calming words to you, soothing every objection your mind at war with the world creates.

Let the nurturing of the Mother, the planet herself, who loves you so and cares so much for you, take hold, and take root within your mind. Let yourself do only what must be done this day, and be very kind and very gentle all this time with yourself.

Speak softly, remove yourself from anything that provokes the disquiet unnecessarily, and calm yourself through the taking of moments to soothe yourself. Let your mind release, one by one, those terrible thoughts that have tortured you. Let your body relax, and move, and in the movement free yourself from the stress and tension. Let the idea of being at war with the world, isolated and alone, go, and for a time, seek out only those who show kindness and sensitivity to you.

Be patient with yourself, and in this patience, let the blessing of deep peace be yours.

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 sides 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. It is a struggle to forgive, when we are in the midst of the fallout of another person’s actions. There is a great deal of victim-blaming within our cultures, but in older times, in the Celtic world, there was restorative justice and it would have gone a long way to forgiveness.

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

You will be wiser, yet unpoisoned. Slowly, may the pain and the bitter buds wither, and in their place may you be reborn – honestly able to remember, wiser, in order to prevent this event taking place again, and able to recall, without pain. And the justice that the Universe will deliver to you will be restorative – bringing back to you threefold what was taken by another. May you be free of the pain, at last.

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.

March is Here, Spring Equinox is coming, White Rabbits, and it’s a time for Discernment – Wowzer!

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy, Happy Magickal, Marvelous, 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 your soxs off).

Why am I so pumped about March – because Spring Equinox is almost here!!! 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 and dreams – it is positively delicious and in honour of this time since Yule I have been working on two glorious offerings for you to really make this year so deliciously different, powerful, full of glorious magick and manifestation and really supporting and empowering you. But more on that soon. If you want to be kept up to date on what is transpiring and all the changes that are coming from this end do make sure you are part of our glorious email community.

On Saturday I really felt I needed a “reset” energetically, mentally, physically and spiritually so I grabbed a glorious friend and we went and hiked, forest bathed and explored a glorious new beach, waterfalls and had a wicnic! Ahhhh, I could feel the tendrils of “shoulds” melt away amidst the old moss covered trees, the “I can’t energy” drop into the moss, and any “judgements of self or others” get washed down the waterfall and offered to the sea. By the time I got home I was refreshed, rejuvenated, reset and replenished and also physically bagged so I tucked myself up in bed earlyish with a glorious witchy book.

Thus, yesterday morning the minute my eyes opened at 6am I started hollering White Rabbits! The poor dog bolted up and looked at me with confusion lol. However, I have been saying White Rabbits on the first of March ever since I was wee, but why, where did it come from? When I first asked that question of myself, my response was, because my Great Aunties told me to!

However, I did a little digging as to where the saying comes from and actually saying White Rabbits on the first of March (and apparently for most months) brings great luck. In fact, “White rabbits, white rabbits’ was written in the ‘Notes and Queries’ book from 1909.The word must be spoken aloud, and be the first word said in the month to bring great luck. It also was a common belief among RAF bomber aircrew during WW2 that saying “white rabbits” the very first thing upon waking would protect oneself.” Don’t you just love finding out where traditions have come from? I do.

With March coming in like a lamb (at least it certainly did here) the Energy has shifted. If you remember in January the shamanic energetic theme was IF NOT NOW, WHEN? February, the was MANAGEMENT and for March………drum roll please. The theme we are being invited to play with and embrace is DISCERNMENT. Now what does this mean?

The best person to explain it is Lena: “What is discernment? Discernment is the ability to use good judgment regarding choices, decisions, boundaries, actions, intentions, ideas, commitments, other people, your intuition, thoughts, emotions, and self-reflection.

Good judgment comes from self-observation and deep reflection on what is your truth as opposed to what others want or think. March is a month to examine the motivation behind all your actions, reactions, intentions, habits and patterns. Discernment is refining how you manage what is on your plate by setting boundaries around what you wish to keep as well as what you have cut loose, always from a place of pro-action instead of reaction.” You can read more of what the amazing Lena has to share here.

Now this is interesting as within many religious formats we are in the time of Lent, so where are we being discerning in these 40 days? Is it with the food we put in our bodies, the way we use our time, how we use our smartphones, our self care (or lack of it) and a myriad of other things. So there’s something to perk for you delicious one.

Okay, enough chuntering on let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to come support and guide this week I was intrigued to see The Isis Oracle were adamant.

Have you ever asked who Isis is? Goddess of the Skies, Magick and Wisdom are just a few of the titles she is given. Let me take a moment to introduce you to this lovely deck – “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening. Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world. When a Soul is growing in power and strength, it can benefit from guidance to help make the path into a new way of being in the world that much easier. Isis offers Her wisdom and guidance to you to assist you at this time of spiritual growth and transition. She loves you, and wants you to shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.” The perfect guides for this glorious energetic time.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are like gorgeous little robin eggs! I clapped my hands in delight when I saw who wanted to come play. The ones that wanted to show and shine are:- Chrysocolla, Sodalite, Blood Stone.

Okay, roll your shoulders up back and down and just gently settle for a few minutes. Allow your breathing to gently slow itself down and as you wiggle and move your rib cage, feel your arse bones either sitting on a seat, or pointed down to the earth. I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a waterfall, strong, soothing and welcoming you to release any “sticky” bits into the water. If you need a bit more support with dropping into this I have a glorious guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a lookie loo?

SPIRIT OF ISIS

Triumph of the Goddess

Beloved Initiate, there are times to surrender and let go, but there are never times to give up! Persist with your bold faith and inspired action until the impossible happens. Isis has the spirit of triumph and will never fail in Her quest no matter how bold or impossible it seems. Believe.

It is helpful on the inner path to let go and detach over and over again and yet we need to stay true to our heart and not give up on what we feel we are here to do. Whether it is reaching for enlightenment, for inner peace, for a creative breakthrough or personal healing, the triumph of the Goddess is with you now uring you not to give up, no matter how far away or impossible success may seem to be. Don’t quit! Persist until the impossible happens!

You are being reminded that you can surrender, let go of attachment as to how everything will happen or what it will look like, even if it is frustrating to surrender the vision into the Divine Fires yet again, waiting until you feel it naturally coming together according to Divine Timing.

The Spirit of Isis is willing to wait until Divine Forces collide and the miracle occurs. Remember, beloved Initiate, that the forces of growth, love and divinity are in your corner. There is nothing more powerful than these. Allow them to have their way and you will have yours. Your win is assured.

GODDESS OF 10,000 NAMES

Isis – Endless Emanations of the Priestess

Isis with many names, forms, associations and expressions is referred to as the Goddess of Ten Thousand Names. A name holds power. It defines and energises or limits. The names, faces, and roles that you play are just one part of your being, yet you exist beyond them, beloved Initiate, as a vast being.

You are currently realising that you are not limited by previous identities you held. Instead you are becoming more of your whole Self. Enjoy the uncovering of even more of you!

Just like the Lady Isis, you are a multi-faceted, multi-dimensional being. It is most helpful at this phase in your path that you learn not to attach to roles or identities that may have once held great importance for you or others relating to you. It does not mean that you must cease to relate to that name or role, more that you are realising it is only a part of you and there is even more of you wishing to express itself now.

It can be tricky to avoid getting stuck in roles that others prescribe for you or expect of you, and yet your self-definition will become wider and your experience of yourself will be more real and fulfilling if you are open to discovering more of you, beyond the person you have considered yourself to be up until now. This can be exhilarating and terrifying! However, there is a new, more whole, fulfilling and truthful sense of identity awaiting you. Any fear or struggle that you go through to allow this to happen, beloved, will be spiritually repaid to you multiplied, in so many ways.

There is nothing to lose except old limitations and so much wonder and joy to be gained!

DIVINE SISTERHOOD

Community of the Spiritual Sisters and Brothers of the Light

In community that is based in equality, respect, healthy boundaries and personal freedom, with a mutual desire for spiritual growth and honouring of innate wisdom, great miracles occur. You are part of this community of light. At one time it existed only in the spiritual worlds, yet now it is being born on the Earth. It is part of your destiny to help create and nurture a conscious community that empowers all of its members and is based in truth.

You are guided to allow the Beloved Isis to help you now through community. There can be strength in numbers. Community can help you gain the added power of group effort to rise above the old patterns and lift each other into the new patterns that are so much more real and beautiful. In unity with the Divine in each other, we grow and become capable of such wonders!

You are wise and grounded enough within yourself not to lose yourself in a group, and instead to help a group become a community of honouring individuals. Your leadership by example is important as groups can sometimes descend to the lowest energetic vibration if the members fall into their egos rather than staying in their hearts.

If you have found that you have guidance to build community yourself, and are feeling a little overwhelmed at the thought, stay calm and stay in heart. Allow yourself to collaborate with others, and work in smaller groups in connection with each other as a way to build community together. It will happen naturally. The Divine Sisterhood will guide you if you ask for their assistance with unconditional love.

Wow, what glorious messages and guidance as we enter this amazing March month and play with the building Spring Equinox energy and Discernment! By the way, thank you for all your lovely messages and shares, I soooo appreciate hearing how you are. Someone emailed me last week asking how they could get a deeper reading, super easy and there is a selection of private readings for you. Remember, if you want to find out what is going to be shared over the next few weeks, make sure you are part of our email community. Sending you massive squeezes, warm sunbeams and a bouquet of bobbly daffodils. See you next week!

Ostara, Spring Equinox and 3 Easy Rituals.

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Spring Equinox is the time for birth or rebirth, it also represents the element of Air. This is the best time of the year to start new projects, focus your goals for the year, and plant the seeds for what you want to achieve. Don’t expect rapid movement, though, since things have to get going at their own pace (which could be fast, since many plants in spring seem to just appear from nowhere, but could also be slow, like a tulip poking its head gradually from the ground.)

Spring Equinox, also known as Ostara or Vernal Equinox is a point of perfect balance on the journey through the Wheel of the Year. Night and day are of equal length and in perfect equilibrium – dark and light, masculine and feminine, inner and outer, in balance. But the year is now waxing and at this moment light defeats the dark. The natural world is coming alive, the Sun is gaining in strength and the days are becoming longer and warmer. It is the first day of Spring! Ostara takes its name after the Germanic goddess, Eostre/Ostara, who was traditionally honoured in the month of April with festivals to celebrate fertility, renewal and re-birth. It was from Eostre that the Christian celebration of Easter evolved, and indeed the naming of the hormone Estrogen, essential to women’s fertility. The Goddess Ostara has the shoulders and head of a hare.

This is a time when the goddess is the Maiden in all her youthful glory, the god is reaching manhood, and energy abounds. So why not tap into that energy to bring the light into your own darkness, if you have any? For example spring cleaning is not just about your home, it’s about removing old or negative energies accumulated over the dark winter months to prepare you for glorious growth. It’s about planting seeds of intention, seeds of growth, seeds of food – it’s about shedding that heavy winter coat and picking up something a tad lighter and a bit more fun.

If we were to look through multiple cultures, Spring Equinox has, and is, a glorious time of welcoming in the light, celebrating the rebirth or creation of new things, planting seeds and releasing the old, worn and tired. For example, there is the story of the Roman god Mithras, which is similar to the tale of Jesus Christ and his resurrection.

“ Born at the winter solstice and resurrected in the spring, Mithras helped his followers ascend to the realm of light after death. In one legend, Mithras, who was popular amongst members of the Roman military, was ordered by the Sun to sacrifice a white bull. He reluctantly obeyed, but at the moment when his knife entered the creature’s body, a miracle took place. The bull turned into the moon, and Mithras’ cloak became the night sky. Where the bull’s blood fell flowers grew, and stalks of grain sprouted from its tail.”

In the Mayan culture, at Chichen Itza, spring equinox is most certainly celebrated (I have been there for this, very cool!) It’s called – The Snake of Sunlight Last but not least let’s look at the Iranian New Year, which is called No-Rooz, and happens at exactly the same time. Again, spring cleaning occurs and an altar is set up.

So in my world, no matter where you are on this planet – equinox time is about balance & harmony. Also, celebration! So whether you just take a moment to light a candle and say thanks, go kite flying, gift a friend with a crystal (I highly recommend Aventurine, Carnelian, Peridot or Sunstone), buy yourself some spring flowers and pop them where you can see them, light a fire and have friends over for a celebration, it doesn’t matter. But I do invite you to do something, even if it is just writing with a Sharpie on an egg!

But why an egg? The egg (and all seeds) contains ‘all potential’, full of promise and new life. It symbolises the rebirth of nature, the fertility of the Earth and all creation. In many traditions the egg is a symbol for the whole universe. The ‘cosmic’ egg contains a balance of male and female, light and dark, in the egg yolk and egg white. The golden orb of the yolk represents the Sun God enfolded by the White Goddess, perfect balance, so it is particularly appropriate to Ostara and the Spring Equinox when all is in balance for just a moment, although the underlying energy is one of growth and expansion.

Grab a cuppa tea and let’s share a story, about the hare and the egg, courtesy of The Goddess and The Greenman.

Once upon a time the Animal Kingdom gathered together for a meeting in a flurry of great excitement. There was to be a Very Special Party and a Very Special Guest was coming to visit them. The Very Special Guest was none other than the Goddess herself, and every creature wanted to give her a Very Special Gift.

Now some of the animals were very rich and some were very poor but off they went to prepare their gifts, for only the very very best would do for the Goddess. Hare was very very excited, he dearly loved the Goddess and although he was very poor he had a big generous heart – he was going to give her the very finest gift he could find!

Hare rushed home to see what he could find to give to the Goddess – he looked everywhere, in the cupboards and under the bed but there was nothing, even the larder was empty, he had absolutely nothing to give Her. Except for one thing. On the shelf in the larder was a single egg. And that was it. It was the only thing he had left. Hare gently took the egg out of the larder and lovingly decorated it and took it to the party.

Hare was very worried, all the other animals gave their gifts of gold and silver and precious jewels and all Hare had was the egg. Eventually all the gifts had been given and Hare was the very very last. Hare very shyly presented the Goddess with the egg. She took it and looked at him and saw the true spirit of Hare. And there and then the Goddess appointed Hare as her Very Special Animal – because Hare had given away everything he had…….

I’ve created a grounding recording as before I do any type of ritual (or when I feel tweaky), I ground. I send my roots down into the earth (as seeds do in Spring) and pull up the glorious supportive, nourishing energy.

So what are some easy and inexpensive rituals to really embrace the energy of Ostara?

Okay, I have so many! However, let me share with you a few of my favourites.

Blessing Bowl

Seeds of Intention

Buy a few bulbs or a packet of seeds. Anything colorful and exuberant will do. Write on slips of paper all the things you would like to blossom and grow over the coming season. (Love? Prosperity? A new job? All of the above? It’s up to you. These are your wishes after all.) Then take those slips and pop them in the bottom of a pot, pop the dirt on top and plant your seeds. Be sure to give them lots of good energy, light and love to help them grow!

Light a Candle and Blow it Out

What? You may be thinking – Jenny it’s not my birthday, what??? The element of Spring is Air, and what better way to play with Air than with your breath. Thus, light a candle (green or yellow would be great), but if you don’t have one of those, use what you have or smear it with a Sharpie! Grab a candle. Light it. Then breathe, breathe deep into your roots and before you exhale allow the “blaugh” (as I call it) to come to mind. Anything that is not serving you or your highest good. As you exhale let that flood out on your breathe and blow the candle out. Light it again and repeat for however long you need to. Know you are connecting with the element of Air, releasing the heavy thoughts and coat of winter and bringing the light back. (So much fun to do with kids).

So there we go gorgeous one, have a fabulous Ostara and for those of you who have been asking, there is a Equinox reading special for just 4 more days. You can find it here.

Spring Equinox

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

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