Summer Solstice

5 Ways to Be Like the Sun at Solstice.

Summer solstice, also known as Litha, is the longest day of the year, but it’s only the very beginning of the summer months with the hottest weather yet to come.

Litha is one of the eight traditional Pagan holidays when daytime energies are at their strongest, radiating mega-doses of vitality and love.

The Sun, seen from an esoteric level, is all about love and wisdom. It’s the primary ray of energy from which everything else is created. It’s the Heart of creation. The Sun never fails to shine, always “rises” to meet us, and sustains life on Earth.

This year, Litha falls on June 21st – a time when those of us who practice magic speak of drawing down the Sun. This means connecting with prana or life force, both within and without.

To draw down or bring out the Sun means harnessing radiant solar energies in order to have the confidence to let yourself shine and be seen. It’s affirming that you’re strong, vibrant, loving, warm, and filled with light.

Litha is the Sun’s day, and the Sun is the center of our solar system. It brings us all back to our center, to our hearts, and the creative source of everything.

The Sun rules the passionate, creative, and proud sign, Leo.

Leo is motivated to share and lead from the heart and become the brightest, fullest version of itself. With the Sun at its maximum power, Litha’s the perfect time to recognize all the things, small and large, that you’ve created and shared with others.

It’s also time to honor the leader within you and how you continue to express more of your most authentic self.

At the summer solstice, a doorway in time opens, which our ancestors viewed as sacred and holy. Litha is a grand portal of energy, space, and opportunity – a chance to let go of fears, doubts, and insecurities.

After the Sun reaches its maximum power, it begins to decline.

Slowly, the night force will grow stronger until its peak at the winter solstice.

Litha is the last chance in our calendar year to activate sacred intentions before moving into autumn and winter, the natural seasons of harvest and rest. I

t’s a time to step out in faith and imagine what’s entirely possible for yourself.

Dream an expansive vision for your life that will sustain you as the darkness slowly returns with the fall.

5 Ways to Be Like the Sun

1. Be the Light

The Sun is a star, and its job is to shine! So is yours, in your unique ways. No matter what happens around you, you always have a choice to see, be, and share the light. What I mean by light is love. Whatever you’re doing and wherever you are, choose that love and give it away freely. There’s no prescription for how this looks, so get creative and just do you – in the truest, sincere, most authentic ways you know.

2. Take the Lead

Solar energy is motivating and naturally attracts attention. Use that power for good and be the best example you can. You may not own a business or directly work with large groups, but people look to you. Notice who they are and think about what they see. Every time your inner sun comes into someone else’s field, it makes an impact. It radiates its energy and infuses people, spaces, and places. Be a leader with your energy and set an example worthy of following.

3. Co-Create

The Sun represents the principle of co-creation and animates the entire zodiac. It doesn’t exist alone and wouldn’t mean anything without the rest of the solar system to interact with. In the tarot, The Sun card is about working with others in ways that inspire you and the world. To be like the Sun is to find people who share your passions and bring all that energy together to make something purposeful. Creatives need each other to stay creative. We’re not meant to do this alone. Find a way to connect and make something exciting happen.

4. Act with Integrity

What do I mean by integrity? I mean acting from wholeness by integrating body, mind, heart, and spirit. Most simply, you act with integrity when you’re true to yourself. It’s so easy to think or feel a certain way but act another, which causes a division within you. Some animals, like horses, are especially sensitive to this inauthenticity. They can feel the conflict and won’t trust someone who’s acting out of alignment with their emotional energy – like pretending to be tough when truly afraid. Integrity takes personal work, practice, and honesty. To act with integrity, you have to be honest about where you’re at and what you’re doing. When you know your ego is reacting, own it. Don’t pretend to be something you’re not or commit to doing something you’re not ready to do. Be honest about your feelings, even if it’s a little uncomfortable.

In astrology, the Sun is the planet of integration. Your Sun Sign is the energy through which you’re integrating yourself. If you’re a Libra, it all comes together through relationships, balancing extremes, and cooperation. If you’re a Sagittarius, it all comes together through searching to find more meaning and following your true path. We’re all in the process of integrating our higher and lower selves. With awareness and practice, you can align your thoughts and actions with your heart and higher mind.

5. Balance Your Solar Plexus Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra or Manipura color is bright yellow, like the Sun. This center is located just above your belly button and is the powerhouse of your energy system. Balancing this chakra helps you confidently stand and act in your power. If your Solar Plexus Chakra is underactive, you might feel powerless or uncertain. If it’s overactive, you might become overpowering and arrogant. Humility is part of this chakra’s medicine. True strength is humility. This chakra is also where you manifest all the things you create. You can think of your Solar Plexus Chakra as the Sun, radiating warmth and light into life. Activate this energy center to rest assured of your capabilities and to make things happen for yourself. Below are some tremendous Solar Plexus herbs, oils, stones, deities, and mantras you can work with.

Solar Plexus Herbs/Oils: Calendula, cumin, helichrysum, lemon, neroli, turmeric

Solar Plexus Stones: Sunstone, yellow aventurine, pyrite, yellow apatite, citrine, golden healer quartz, tiger’s eye

Solar Plexus Deities: Agni, Athena, Ma’at, Pele, Ra, Sekhmet, Xiuhtecuhtli

Solar Plexus Mantras:

“I am strong, capable, and powerful.”

“I stand in my power.”

“I am the leader of my life.”

In Closing

If you want to delve deeper into how to welcome Solstice and harness that energy, grab your copy of SASS.

However you choose to welcome summer, and long past it, I hope you’ll find ways to grow and feed the light for the benefit of us all.

May you feel on the deepest level how powerful you are – how your energy and the way you run it make an impact. May you use your light to inspire and empower others. May we all choose the wisdom of love. From my heart to yours, happy Litha.

Solstice is here in 9 days! A glorious Solstice Guide (for Summer/Winter), and a Solstice Reading Special just for you!

Happy Miraculous, Magnificent, Moody, Melancholic, Magickal, Majestic, Moodling, Manifesting Monday!

First off, thank you to all who sent messages and emails about jury selection, I really appreciated them all!

So before we explore everything for this week, I would like to share how I got handed a glorious reminder – words have power, huge fucking power! (I should know this, duh.)

I received the jury selection notice about a month or so ago and from that moment on I kept saying “Nope, nope, nope, I can’t sit for a whole darn day” (as that’s not how I work) etc.

So my back went out a week ago on Thursday and the pain level was 9/10 and lo and behold I couldn’t sit. In fact I couldn’t sit, lie down with any comfort or fairly much do the things that I normally do.

Finally, my wise self kicked in and whomped me alongside the head with a 2×4 and reminded me Abracadabra – I will create as I speak. So I had a glorious talk with my back about what I had been saying and about 20 minutes later I received a call from the Sheriff’s office.

Jury selection had been cancelled!

By the next day my back was down to a 3/10 pain.

So remember, the words we use over and over again with feeling and intent (whether conscious or not), create magick.

What kind of magick do you want to create?

With that in mind let’s talk Solstice!

Yup, June 21st Summer Solstice is here!

You may be thinking to yourself – um, err, what the heck Jenn, what’s the big deal, what does it matter. Ahhh grasshopper it does matter, it matters very much. It’s one of the biggest celebrations on the Wheel of the Year, and has been celebrated since neolithic times.

It’s a time of power, abundance and magick, as Summer Solstice is one of the 3 days of the year when the veil is thin and the Fae come out to play! I mean for goodness sakes even William Shakespeare wrote about it in 1596 in his play Midsummer Nights Dream (so that’s how long the magick has been around.) Muhahaha.

Summer Solstice is the celebration of the sun, which is masculine and is the energy of Passion, Action and igniting your inner fire. This is why your Summer Solstice guide is referred to as SASS! Stupendously Awesome Summer Solstice!

This glorious guidebook is 45 pages filled with empowering soul work, rituals to connect you to your own fire, lore, herb magick, crystal magick, body magick, a guided visualisation, spells and so much more – all to help you connect with your own inner flame & use this seasonal energy to ignite.

(And for those of you in the South I have a glorious guide for you, which I fondly refer to as BOWS as you experience the Winter Solstice,!)

The Sun is entering the height of its power this month … and so are you.

With the Sun reaching the peak of its cycle, your own corresponding inner flame also has the potential to reach its peak.

Your inner flame – your own internal sun – is the source of your own fire, your power, your ability to create & take action in the outer world. All these things are being affected by the outer Sun; and all they have the potential to reach new heights this month.

With our side of the Earth (Northern Hemisphere) being flooded with the intense fiery energy of the sun, this fire gives you extra energy, extra power, expanded confidence.

Your work right now is to soak up as much of that fire energy as you can. It has the power to uplift you & empower you. It will help fuel you –in all areas of your life.

The Summer Solstice sun will help ignite your internal fire, and inspire you to grow & mature in whatever ways you are meant to in your life.

So grab SASS and let’s go light some things up!

Many of you have emailed and asked if I am going to do a Summer Solstice reading special. So the spiritual posse and I had a natter, felt into it and yes!

Yes, there will be a special on three readings just for Summer Solstice that will help you ignite your inner fire, passion and also release the things that no longer serve you so you can move forward with purpose.

I will say, I love these 3 reading specials (especially the soul and personality one!)

We are going to limit the amount of readings to 21 (the same number as the Solstice this year), so it will be a first come first serve basis.

Okay I’ve chuntered on long enough. Let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

When I went to the cards and checked in with my delightful guides I was tickled to see who they had picked. Of course it had to be the Fae, perfect guides for the build up of Summer Solstice energy!

Solstice is one of the three times in the year when the veil is thin between the realms and the Fae come to play.

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

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.

Yummly delicious!

Okay dear one, just take a breath. I invite you to see in your mind’s eye your own inner flame. That place of passion, excitement, power. Watch the colours dance and play as you notice it. Place your hand on your belly and breathe into that spot, long, slow and deep. Allow yourself to see in the flames what you want to ignite with passion. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to go have a look?

MELUSINE

Love who you are

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. 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.

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.

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.

WU-WANG

Wild, pure heart

In times of olde, they said that only those who were pure could connect with those like myself. That the virgin could connect with the Unicorn. That the child could see the meaning of God. That the fae would truly see into your heart, and finding it corrupt, would never appear to you.

I am here to tell you that your heart is pure and wild and innocent. It is that you have forgotten how to see us, that you have been told that in order to see us, you must be perfect. That in order to see us, you must be mad, unclean, broken, and if you say you have seen us, you face being shunned.

I am here to say to you that we appear to those who have looked into their hearts and have seen beyond the woundings….because within you there is a wild and untrammelled heart space which is free of any taint. In that space we can enter and therefore, we can and we will be seen again. You were not born into this world wrong or sinful. There may be karmic markings, but you are no sinner, nor are you corrupt or unworthy.

Foster that which is wild and pure and good with you, and we will begin to appear and come forth. You will feel us on the wind, in the water, see us in the fire and hear our voices emanating from the heart of our mother, the Earth.

You are a child of the Mother, call her what you will, and at your core you are one of the wild ones. That is my message for you.

Yes!!!! Oh my Goddess, what glorious guides as we move towards Summer Solstice. Loving Yourself, Opening New Doors and celebrating your Wild Pure Heart! Whoot! Positively Perfect. So dear one, remember to pick up your SASS or BOWS guide, snag one of the few spots for the Solstice reading special, and I will see you next week. Happy June!

Solstice and Pride!

Jenny Heston · 3:14 pm ·

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

How are you? How was the delicious Strawberry SuperMoon for you? Many of you have shared that it felt very challenging but deep (that’s not a bad thing), as there are so many shifts and changes happening in you and around you.

But guess what?

Summer Solstice is coming, Summer Solstice is coming! Whoot!

Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 21st, is the Summer Solstice and I am so looking forward to celebrating it. Every year has been filled with different ways of celebrating, different rituals and different intentions/offerings and the harvest that I have reaped from these has been mind blowing! (As in, you seriously can’t make this shit up!)

In fact at the end of this month I close the circle on a 4 year Solstice setting ritual that was amazing, challenging, but oh so worth it! I will tell you about it next week.

Thank you for all the amazing feedback on SASS – The Stupendously Abundant Summer Solstice Guide. I’ve been tickled pink to hear how it is resonating for you and which rituals you have picked! And yes, she is available until the 24th.

Oh and for those that have asked, there are only 2 spots left for the Summer Solstice Reading Special.

Summer Solstice (also known as Litha) is all about abundance, growth, expansion. It’s the celebration of the Sun!

Think about it, the farmer plants the seeds in the cool of the Spring in the wet ground and as the Summer Solstice approaches things have sprouted and are reaching up as if they are doing a glorious sun salutation.

It’s a time to watch the ripening and fruiting of the plants around us and our ideas. This is a delicious inner fire/power celebration that acknowledges the abundance that grows from tiny seeds. This is a time of really reclaiming your inner power and brightness and mapping out the harvest you desire for the next while.

It’s also a time of magic – Midsummer’s eve was believed to be a time when the veil between this world and the next is at its thinnest – a time of powerful forces and magical happenings, when fairies were thought to be about and at their most powerful. This otherworldly sense underpins Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, where the fairies use their magic and cause mayhem in the forest.

This is a day of inner power, brightness, Magick, Manifestation and celebrating your Divine Masculine.

Each Summer Solstice I celebrate in different ways with different rituals, however, one thing I always do is create/craft something to honour the gifts that I receive.

Last year was a massive driftwood portal! She is gorgeous. All the pieces of driftwood are woven together. I wove ivy around her (keeping the roots in the ground) and then put tiny fairy lights onto her, and built an incredible rock stairway for her approach. And it’s so fun to see how the ivy is growing around her a year later.

This year, I needed a chair!

Every morning as the sun is rising I make a cuppa and go sit outside. I have a particular chair that is tucked in a corner and protected from the elements where I watch the world wake up, listen to the birds, and I set my intentions for the day. Sad to say, my old chair died – split straight up the middle which made sitting on it tenuous.

So I went to the Habitat for Humanity store, found a glorious wooden chair in the style that I wanted. One where the seat is big enough that I can sit cross legged and brought her home. Then the fun happened.

She was sanded and painted a super gorgeous fiery red, and then beautifully adorned with swirls, flowers and energy flow symbols, and then sealed. I am so looking forward to sitting on her for morning tea! I was so enchanted with the design that I made that I’m now creating a glorious Solstice Faery house!

So however you choose to mark the Solstice, take pride in who you are, the changes you have moved through in the last 6 months and celebrate your gorgeous inner fire! You are so worth it!

And speaking of Pride…………

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

When I was a teen in Oxford, most of my closest friends were people who were a good 15 years older than me, and gay men. Gosh! I had so much fun, I learned a lot and I always felt safe, loved and appreciated. There was a lovely chap called Gaz who was an incredible illustrator and would create the most magickal, whimsical imagery for children’s books and he would share the most amazing stories with me. He was a very special person.

Thus, I always try to help out in some way for Pride, however with Covid we haven’t had a parade in 3 years, but this year we do! This Sunday there is a massive Pride parade with floats, displays, music and all sorts. I have volunteered to take care of a booth/tent at the festival. But what to wear? Lol

Thankfully I have an amazing niece who went through her tickle trunk of costumes and odds and bits and I am going to look sparkly, colourful and sassy as heck! I have bubble wands galore to play with and I am thoroughly looking forward to playing, supporting and helping out at Pride.

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

Now if you don’t know these amazing guides, please let me introduce you. Have you ever asked who Isis is? Goddess of the Skies, Magick and Wisdom are just a few of the titles she is given. Let me take a moment to introduce you to this lovely deck – “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening. Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world. When a Soul is growing in power and strength, it can benefit from guidance to help make the path into a new way of being in the world that much easier. Isis offers Her wisdom and guidance to you to assist you at this time of spiritual growth and transition. She loves you, and wants you to shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.”

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

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

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

Did you remember to pick?

Come take a look.

DIVINE GUARDIAN

Protection of the Winged Mother

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

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

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

DIVINE SISTERHOOD

Community of the Spiritual Sisters and Brothers of the Light

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

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

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

If you accept all of this but still cannot find your spiritual home here, and have been wondering where your community is, you are not alone! They are looking for you too! Say ‘yes’ to opportunities to meet like-minded people and let Isis guide you through circumstances, opportunities and spontaneous moments as you and your beloved sisters and brothers find each other together for group benefit. If you have found that you have guidance to build community yourself, and are feeling a little overwhelmed at the thought, stay calm and stay in your heart.

SPIRIT OF ISIS

Triumph of the Goddess

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

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

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

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

Those are some deliciously powerful messages! How did the card you picked resonate for you? Have a stupendous week, delicious lovely. Allow the energy of the sun to ignite your inner fire, use the energy of the Super Full Moon to open you up and celebrate your diverse unique self! And most of all have fun! (Life is so much better when we remember to play!) Big hugs and squeezes and flowers galore!

Strawberry Super Moon, Solstice, Saturn and Faeries – oh my!

Jenny Heston · 4:08 pm ·

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

How are you delicious lovely? Can you feel the building energy of the Solstice inviting you to ignite your dreams, soul and heart? (I most certainly can and it has expanded my creativity in interesting ways as well!)

I’ve also witnessed the plants in my garden fully embracing this energy, as after an “atmospheric river” the sun came out hot and strong and they literally grew 5 inches in 2 days!

(You should see my Broad Beans!)

Okay, grab a cuppa and let’s look at what’s happening this week – we have the building energies of Summer Solstice, a glorious Strawberry SuperMoon, the veil between us and the Fae thinning, Saturn retrograde and Father’s Day! (So an interesting mix of energies flowing; yet they are all pointing to the same direction).

So let’s start with the Summer Solstice (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere). As I mentioned last week, this celebration on June 21st is very potent. The Summer Solstice sun will help ignite your internal fire, and inspire you to grow & mature in whatever ways you are meant to in your life.

It is such a potent time for setting very clear intentions and then being willing to allow the manifestations to come flooding in! Four years ago, I was visiting the island that I currently live on, and a group of us gathered by the ocean for Solstice ritual. Intentions were set, ritual ensued and holy hannah!

Within 5 days my life changed, as the intention I had set with clarity, passion and harnessing the potent magick of Summer Solstice came roaring in! Scared the crap out of me at first, lol.

So remember – As the sun is reaching its peak, so are you! Yet what do you want to do with that internal fire? What lights you up? Where do you want to spend your time and energy? This is why I created the lovely Summer Solstice guide referred to as SASS! Stupendously Awesome Summer Solstice! To fully support you in embracing your own inner fire and manifesting magick! 42 pages of amazingness and she is on sale, just for you!

Oh yes, and some of you have asked if there are any spots left for the Summer Solstice Reading special – there are a few left. So if you have been pondering it, now is the time.

Next up is the lovely Strawberry SuperMoon that occurs on June 14th. So hopefully the sky is clear and you will be able to see her in all her glory.

But what does this moon mean for you and why is it called a Strawberry Moon?

This Full Moon is named for the wild, ripe, and bountiful strawberry harvest that typically occurs this time of year. It’s said that picking strawberries beneath the light of the moon honours the crops and ensures a bountiful yield.

Strawberries are considered a food of love, representative of the goddess Freya, and they symbolise love and luck.

June’s Strawberry Moon spiritual meaning embodies the magic and fullness of life.

This is the best moment to make difficult decisions or to face responsibilities you’ve been avoiding. Start fresh and dive deep into personal growth!

Remember to pace yourself, don’t burn yourself out in your excitement and enthusiasm. Evaluate your goals and intentions to make sure they are realistic and achievable and aligned with your inner fire.

New life, sunlight, magic, optimism, joy, and strength are everywhere.

The earth and the universe are surging with enthusiasm! Your intuition is at a peak! So keep an open mind to all of life’s adventures and twists.

(Do you see how this ties in with the Summer Solstice energy???)

The Strawberry Moon is a special and sacred time to reflect on your life and make positive changes. It’s also a powerful time for manifestation and setting intentions.

So take some time on the Strawberry Moon to sit out under her and release what no longer serves and give massive gratitude for 3 things you want to focus on and that make your heart sing.

Okay, next up – Saturn retrograde.

Noush shares – “Saturn is not an easy energy to work with,” she admits. “Having said that, it is a really powerful and strong energy. It’s like a teacher that dishes out lessons in the form of tough love. It pushes you into uncomfortable scenarios in order to help you understand levelling up in your own internal monologue and step into greatness.”

Saturn retrograde is begging you to find your truth, the way of life that speaks to you. Now is the time to truly uncover what makes you tick. What is true for you and what lights you up!

(You seriously can’t make this shit up, as Summer Solstice, Strawberry Moon and Saturn retrograde are all pointing to the same thing!)

And in honour of Father’s Day the flowers I have for this reading are Pink Dogwood. My Dad and I would walk dogs together everyday, and he loved the dogwood flowers. So when he died suddenly 24 years ago I put his ashes under a beautiful dogwood tree.

He was an amazing Irish man, with a wicked and dry sense of humour. We must have had similar love languages, as saying “I love you” wasn’t his gig. In fact I think I only heard it 4 times in my life, but he would always find a reason to turn up and fix something, or hang a curtain rod or just come and hang out with my babies and I.

Okay, you’ve just been handed a lot of information if you have read this far lol. So let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide this week, I was tickled to see it is a lovely deck that has been rather shy and reticent to show up in public. She has been with me a few months now and has never wanted to participate in the public domain, but this week she was pretty darn clear.

So please let me introduce you to your guides (as to not; would be rather rude!)

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

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

What glorious guides for this week with the Full Moon and Summer Solstice approaching! After all, Summer Solstice is one of the 3 nights on the Wheel of the Year when the Fae realm is accessible.

Ready? Take a lovely slow breath in through your nose and out through your mouth, sighing – Aaaaahhhh. Let’s do it again shall we and as you sigh out, let the cares, the frets, the tension and worries just drop. Breathe this way for as long as you need to come back to yourself. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that whisper, niggle and tease you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

BARNABUS AND THE PRINCE

Adventures, Discovery, Travel, Meeting destiny

For your dreams to come true, you must take action and get out of your comfort zone! Then you will be in the right place at the right time.

Your quest and your search is going to create new opportunities, and there will be a successful “end” to the search. You will find what you seek, and so much more.

You need to quest, to see your search as a journey, an adventure, and even travel to go where you are being guided to bring about the realisation of a dream. The way to find love, adventure, gifts and mystery is to be brave, and go, finally, on the quest!

A dream, a vocation, success, or purposeful activity is reaching out for you, just as you have reached out for it. Use the power of your voice to call out for it. Let the world and the natural world know that you wish for them to deliver. In order for you to be in alignment with your dream, for your dream to dream you, you must be walking the right path, and be in the right place at the right time.

Staying in your present comfort zone will not bring about that which in your heart you yearn for – you must become active, and create. You are also being reminded that travel and adventure can bring about soul growth that will let your song grow stronger – and it is in this way that your soul kind can find you. Have no fear! It’s time to be an adventurer in your life!

GLIMPSE

Indigo, Rainbow, Crystal children – and beyond…..

This faery is a scout. He is looking through the borderlands into the human world, keeping a lookout for opportunities to glimpse people who have magicks about them. He is looking for those young and old who are connected to their spiritual truths.

The Indigo children are easy to recognise, if you know the signs to look for. They are peaceful warriors and activists with a deep love of nature. They are highly sensitive and can discern very easily whether people are telling the truth or trying to fool them. Others, older magickal ones, are more scarred. They have had years of being told they are not “normal.” So this scout watches for them too, so they can be communicated with clearly and told that they are not mad, but clear – able to see and hear the things we don’t talk about.

He is looking for the ones that know when they are being told the truth and when they are being lied to – as they often have – but they are no longer filled with self doubt.

It’s time to cease eating fast food and accepting authority’s messages simply because they are “in charge”. It is time to find your own inner authority and to take action to change the planet in healthful, healing ways. Time to transmute your anger about politics, ego and repressive regimes by taking meaningful and peaceful action for what you believe in.

Seeing straight through illusions and speaking your truth needs to start now. You have been “seen” by the faeries as of the evolving human ones, and as such you are responsible to your own inner truth, not to any exterior source of authority. Refuse to be dictated to.

Protect nature and gentle people and you will come into happiness and balance. You are part of a new world, one which we are currently growing into. The more honest and true you are, the better off this planet and her inhabitants and life forms will be. Stand up!

STORYKEEPER

Tell your story, Legacy, Write your wisdom

Live your life as if it is the greatest tale ever told! This does not mean to be intentionally dramatic, but it does mean to live imaginatively, boldly, magickally. Many people say they wish to write a book, but what they are saying, the faeries declare, is that they wish to record their life story, their wisdom, their experiences and the lessons they have learned.

To have left this place having made a mark that has meaning.

So, the Storykeeper faery is showing you how she is writing down the stories of all the peoples of the world, and yours too. It may be time to create a story for yourself, a rewriting if you like of the faery tale that is your life, and go beyond the “happy ending” where so many leave off.

Find the inherent wisdom beneath the surface of the story. Which faery tale story have you been enacting? Which archetypes are coming up for you, and how can you take the pen into your own hands and create a story which resonates for you?

The Storykeeper will write what you speak to her of, so it is time to seek the wisdom in your story, and change the patterns and twists that have repeated themselves and seem hackneyed and contrived. Carve out an original tale for yourself; create it from your dreams and adventures, and know that the Storykeeper will keep the record of your life on this earth alive for delivery to the Akashic record. Nothing you do is too trivial or small to be worthy of notice; all your tales and energies have an impact.

Time to tell of who you are. Share your story. Recognise that you are the record- keeper – what is it you wish to gift your ancestors with?

Think of the generations to come and live your life as you would wish your story to be told. Bring what you dream of into reality on a daily basis. Tell the best story possible to yourself about your life; writing is therapeutic. Be original in your storytelling!

Oh my Giddy Aunt! Amazing guides for these lovely energies – you seriously can’t make this shit up! Wishing you a stupendous Full Moon week, remember to get your copy of SASS, give yourself one of the last spots for the Solstice Reading and most of all……. Fan your inner flame. We need your passion, your purpose and your truth! Big hugs and squeezes.

Summer Solstice is almost here and your Guide and Reading Special is waiting, just for you.

Happy Miraculous, Magnificent, Moody, Melancholic, Magickal, Majestic, Moodling, Manifesting Monday!

The first Monday in June (how the heck did we end up in June already?) Time is doing some very interesting things for sure! But you know what I love, love, love about June?

Summer Solstice!

Yup, June 21st Summer Solstice is here!

Summer Solstice is the celebration of the sun, which is masculine and is the energy of Passion, Action and igniting your inner fire. This is why your Summer Solstice guide is referred to as SASS! Stupendously Awesome Summer Solstice!

And let’s be honest, at Summer Solstice with the fire and the intentions – it creates a lot of amazing Sass!

This glorious guidebook is 42 pages filled with empowering soul work, rituals to connect you to your own fire, lore, herb magick, crystal magick, body magick, a guided visualisation, spells and so much more – all to help you connect with your own inner flame & use this seasonal energy to ignite.

As the Sun is entering the height of its power this month … so are you.

With the Sun reaching the peak of its cycle, your own corresponding inner flame also has the potential to reach its peak.

With our side of the Earth (Northern Hemisphere) being flooded with the intense fiery energy of the sun, this fire gives you extra energy, extra power, expanded confidence.

Your work right now is to soak up as much of that fire energy as you can. It has the power to uplift you & empower you. It will help fuel you –in all areas of your life.

The Summer Solstice sun will help ignite your internal fire, and inspire you to grow & mature in whatever ways you are meant to in your life.

So grab SASS and let’s go light some things up!

Many of you have emailed and asked if I am going to do a Summer Solstice reading special. So the spiritual posse and I had a natter, felt into it and yes!

Yes, there will be two readings for Summer Solstice that will help you ignite your inner fire, passion and also release the things that no longer serve you so you can move forward with purpose. We are going to limit the amount of readings to 21 (the same number as the Solstice this year), so it will be a first come first serve basis.

Okay I’ve chuntered on long enough. Let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

When I went to the cards and checked in with my delightful guides I was tickled to see who they had picked. Of course it had to be the Fae, perfect guides for the build up of Summer Solstice energy!

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

Yummly delicious!
