Trust Yourself

Last Reading of 2025 and Blessings for The Holiday Season.

Happy Last Reading of 2025.

I think we can all agree it has been a year, and here we are amidst the holiday season prep and doing.

I do invite us all to remember that for some this season is most challenging, they may feel alone, have lost someone, feel overwhelmed or a myriad of other things.

As we just welcomed the Winter Solstice on Sunday, it opened the door into Winter for us.

And for those who asked if they can still join The Omen Days Jo urney, yes!

Our amazing Solstice gathering was recorded and we start on December 26th. So come join us all, it will change how you end the year!

I will keep the doors open until midnight of the 23rd. and then they close.

As I head into my Winter Break and walk the Omen Days Path.

This is a magical season full of transformation and deep internal work.

It may seem counterproductive to pause, rest, and reflect.

However, remember that your worth isn’t defined by what you’ve accomplished.

Slow down and be fully present in activities that truly bring you joy and pleasure. Before you know it, Spring will be here, so enjoy these quiet moments of rest and solitude.

So why not create a to-do list for this Winter holiday that captures your inner child.

What would you like to do to bring more holiday magic to the season?

With so many obligations during December, find time to slow down and read a book you enjoy.

With the longer nights and colder days, it’s a perfect time to snuggle up and relax.

Pick something purely for pleasure or a non-fiction book that can help you learn something new or change your perspective.

Spend time in reflection and creating the space for the next year (and no this is not a TO DO thing), that’s why we do The Omen Days (and yes, it doesn’t start until the 26th so you have time to join.)

This is about really looking at what nourishes your heart and soul at this time.

Yes, there are some family obligations, but if spending 2 hours with Uncle Mervin makes you want to pull your hair out, then only spend an hour – and have boundaries!

Okay enough of me chuntering as we all have stuff to do!

Let’s crack on with the reading. When I sat with all my lovely decks and asked who felt a strong urge to come support and guide us this week as we head into the dark and the shortest day I was tickled to see who hopped up.

The glorious guides who were adamant are the Sacred Destiny Oracle. So in case you have never met them, let me introduce you – and if you have met them before, let me reintroduce you (as not to do so is rude!). “You have a sacred destiny; we all do.

There is a powerful and profound reason that you are here on the planet. However, sometimes it may be difficult to understand what that reason is and perceive what is required on your journey into the future. It may be a challenge to know what the next step in life should be. This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul. In ancient traditions, shamans, medicine women, witches, visionaries, and prophets all accessed hallowed knowledge by observing their natural environment.

These wise beings stepped through mystic gateways into inner realms to bring back meaning to the seemingly random event of life. “

I seriously snorted tea out of my nose when they appeared. Why? Re-read the last two lines.

Okay darling one. Please take a moment to just relax. Don’t worry about if the lights look great, or how you are going to deal with Uncle Tony at the Xmas dinner. Just BE here NOW. Take a massive deep breath out first through an open mouth. Then allow your breathing to find its open delightful, rich rhythm and let your shoulders drop.

As we have just lit the third candle of Advent, Joy, the candle of the animal world.

Let me ask what does Joy feel like to you right now? Is it elusive or is it permeating your being.

Breathe.

If you want to play with Joy a bit more I have a guided visualisation for you.

Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that tug.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

STAYING FOCUSED

Be clear about where you are going. Do not compromise!

Follow your dreams; you deserve the best. Prioritise your life.

Once you decide on a direction, hold the course. Do not veer. Do what’s important, and release the rest. Place your intent and passion on one thing, rather than scattering in many directions,and you will be successful.

On the path, it’s easy for the traveler to be distracted by people, events, and even shiny objects. Do not take any side roads. Stay the course.

Keep going, no matter what emerges on your path that distracts you. It’s easy to get lost and forget where you’re heading. Recommit yourself to your destination.

What you focus on is what you create, so put your attention on what is worthwhile, beautiful, and inspiring.

Refrain from focusing on what’s not working: only focus on the direction you want to go.

MIRACLES

Just around the bend, a miracle is waiting to happen.

Release fear and uncertainty, and majestic wonders wait to unfold for you.

Watch for them and embrace them. Some come in an unlikely form. Trust that all is unfolding for your highest good. Expect miracles in your life.

What is expected tends to be realised. The more you become aware of the small marvels in your life, the more you will grow in magnitude. Celebrate and cherish them when they appear, no matter how small they may seem.

What others see as ordinary, you see as wondrous. Look at your life in a new way. Let go of fear and expectation, and allow the Goddess to solve your challenges in mysterious and wondrous ways.

Don’t limit the way you think miracles can appear in your life. All is well.

FARAWAY PLACES

Stop playing it safe.

Get ready for new horizons and change in your life. A journey is coming.

It might be to foreign lands or faraway places, or may be an inner shift that changes your destiny. It’s all beneficial. Sometimes we can feel wobbled when we are not in our normal surroundings, however, you are safe and protected. Good fortune ensues.

Part of the glory of travel is stepping out of old habits, routines, and the repetitiveness of everyday life. It can feel daunting, yet in no small way your life is a spiritual voyage. Change is coming. Things are not as they seem. There are no wrong turns; every adventure and missed-venture is part of the course.

You are on a pilgrimage of the soul. Keep your metaphorical bag packed; some unexpected experiences are ahead. Be ready for anything. The joy of travel is that you can begin to experience the everyday as if you are seeing it for the first time.

Nothing should be taken for granted.

Absolutely perfect! How did that feel for you? Wishing you a stupendous Holiday season. Remember to play for goodness sakes and don’t get caught up in what you think it “should look like”, sending you massive warm hugs, big gingerbread kisses and golden light! Talk to you in 2026.

How to Close 2025 with Ritual, Reflection and Deep Knowing.

Jenny Heston · 3:24 pm ·

Dear Gorgeous Soul,

Go on, make yourself a large cuppa of something warm and a little magickal, because we have so much to chat about this week. Are you ready? Settled? Cosy? Good. Let’s begin.

We are standing at a truly potent crossroads.

The very last New Moon of 2025 arrives this Friday, the 19th.

Solstice — which I friggin’ love — is racing toward us with her golden-dark mystery.

The Omen Days journey is open (and oh, I hope you’ll join us — it’s a genuine game-changer when it comes to putting a year to bed and consciously calling in the next… just ask the last 250 people who travelled it with us 😏).

Add in Personal Theme Readings, and the Book of Winter Solstice, which is my heartfelt Solstice gift to you for being such a magnificent bean, and well… you can feel how thick the magic is in the air.

So where do we begin?

I’m starting exactly where my bones insist we do — with The Omen Days, also known as the Sacred Days or Yuletide.

These luminous days stretch from Boxing Day through to January 6th. And yes, this is where the “12 Days of Christmas” comes from — a little cultural borrowing from something far older and wiser.

Historically, these days existed to bring the Roman calendar back into alignment with the solar year. Energetically, though, they are something far more delicious.

They are considered time out of time, a liminal pause where the usual rules soften and we slip between worlds. It’s as though we step outside the calendar altogether.

And if you pause for a moment, you’ll notice that our modern culture still feels this.

That strange, floaty stretch between Christmas and the New Year — when time feels bendy, when we’re neither fully here nor there, half dreaming and half emerging. That’s not accidental.

That’s the doorway.

This is where the real magic of closing a year happens. This is where 2025 is gently alchemised, and the seeds of 2026 are quietly planted.

This is why I created the Omen Days journey — a rich, nourishing experience filled with ritual, reflection, community, and warmth.

It’s an invitation to release the tired idea of New Year’s resolutions and instead close the year in a way you can actually feel — in your bones, your body, your cells.

One that stirs ancient memory and deep knowing. I would love for you to experience that.

Registration is open until December 22nd (and we also gather together for Solstice this coming weekend), and the timing could not be more perfect — because it flows straight into what’s happening in the sky.

The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19th is the final New Moon of 2025.

It’s believed that the heart of our Milky Way galaxy rests at 27 degrees of Sagittarius, and this New Moon activates 28 degrees — a cosmic threshold if ever there was one.

A powerful way to close the year.

New Moons are portals. They are invitations to turn inward, to recalibrate, to listen for new inspiration. Under a New Moon, insights arrive quietly, intentions take shape, and new directions begin to whisper.

With the Galactic Centre activated, the energy of this New Moon feels wide, expansive, and full of possibility. It reminds us that we are not stuck. We are not limited. We do not have to stay where we are if it no longer fits. We can simply lift our arrow… and aim it somewhere new.

So ask yourself gently: what is no longer yours to carry? What belongs in the ashes of 2025? What are you ready to release with compassion, forgiveness, and grace?

And then dream.

If you weren’t afraid — of failing or succeeding — if judgment vanished and you knew you’d be supported, where would your heart lead you?

Can you feel how this weaves straight into the Omen Days? How these energies invite you to close the year with intention, tenderness, and awareness — rather than rushing headlong into the next?

And yes, this is also where Personal Theme Readings come in.

I like to call them Opening the Doors to 2026. Rather than me waxing lyrical here (and testing your patience), you can wander over and see if one calls to you. Spaces are limited, so if you feel the nudge, listen.

Alright, beautiful one — that was a lot to receive, and I hope you felt it land rather than skim past.

Now… let’s crack on with the reading. ✨

Okay so when I asked my glorious giddy guides who they wanted to play with this week. I was a tad surprised!

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

At the edge of the mind awaits the holy wilderness of the soul.

It beckons you, like a great forest filled with vast mysteries and wonders. While this mystical realm exists in a higher dimension, beyond normal reality, it is real nevertheless. To enter this mystical realm, it’s simply a matter of having an open heart and an open mind.

In this healing and holy place, long-sought answers to your deepest questions become known. Ancient wisdom emerges. Revelations about your future are revealed. Hidden talents and abilities are activated with you. It’s a place where miracles unfold, and your spirit can fly.

In the deepest sense you remember who you are.

Okay gorgeous bean, here we are with the holiday season rapidly approaching, and yet the place of Solstice. The longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

The place of release and moving into the warm, feminine darkness that nurtures and supports. I invite you to take a long, deep, luxurious breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. Let your face relax, your jaw relax and the worries of the day drop to the floor like soft gentle rain drops or snowflakes.

Then I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a glorious warm dark night sky, you feel safe, you feel supported and held and as the clouds pull away you see stars that will guide you. Breathe that in. Allow this gorgeous Feminine Darkness to gently wrap around you and guide you and then when you are ready pick a card or cards that call to you.

You picked yes?

Shall we go see?

DAFFODIL FAIRY

New Beginnings

You feel a tap on your shoulder, and in a flash of yellow, you see a Daffodil Fairy fly by you. In a high, sweet voice she says, “The best is yet to be! It’s time for a new beginning!” With glee, you race after her into the forest.

Life goes in cycles. Just as spring follows winter, a new cycle is beginning in your life. In the phases of the earth, the plants die in the fall so that there can be new birth in the spring – it’s the universal dance of death and rebirth. There’s a time to end and begin, and this is the close of one cycle and the beginning of another.

We associate the daffodil with spring, as it is one of the first flowers to emerge after the snows. Its shape echoes the feeling of trumpeting in the new season; its colour suggests vitality, radiance, and sunshine.

It’s time to wipe the slate clean; it’s time to release the old and start again.

It can be difficult to release familiar routines, situations, or relationships when they no longer empower you; however, your higher self encourages you to not cling to the old, but set sail into new waters. If you find yourself afraid to let go, you are urged to face your fear and allow yourself to stretch in a new direction.

The Creatrix is at your side, and wonderful opportunities will be born in your life. Wholeness occurs when you can say yes to both endings and beginnings.

It’s time to start a new project or a new cycle. Life force and vitality are emerging. Release that which doesn’t serve and support you. Make way for a new start!

FOGGY BOG

Patience

The fog in the forest is so dense, you can’t see your hands in front of your face. You take a step forward; the soil is soft and spongy. You realise that you are standing in a bog and to go forward is to risk sinking deeper into the mud.

The best strategy is to be still and wait for the fog to lift.

Be quiet and still. The time is not right to go forward now.

It’s hard to see what lies ahead, and the truth of things may not be as they initially appear. Events that seem one way may, in fact, be completely different.

Just as the egret exhibits great patience as he waits for a fish to emerge, so too must you be still and allow the truth to emerge. In this state of obscured visibility, your imagination can surge forward and spark your intuition.

If you can wait long enough, your sixth sense will be ignited. Listen to your inner yearnings and pay attention to those seemingly random thoughts.

Water represents emotions, feelings, and the subconscious. When the water becomes condensed as fog, it obscures the true shape of things. We can’t see clearly the way we can in the light.

Don’t allow unexamined emotions to overwhelm your growth.

Have patience. Wait until the fog lifts before taking action. The truth will emerge in time; you just need to go deeper.

Follow your intuition.

GUARDIANS OF THE LAND

Protection

“You are safe.” These words seem to emerge from the land and radiate from the trees to echo in your soul. You hear these words again and again.

The Sacred Guardians of the Land are whispering to you, “You are safe.”

You know that you are protected and cared for. You can feel tendrils of their loving energy wrap around you and embrace you. Their unleashed power cocoons you in safety.

You are enough, just as you are. No matter what has happened or occurred in the past, the truth is that you are absolutely and unconditionally enough as you are.

You are loved. You are cherished.

Do not be concerned about outside forces and the judgements and expectations of others. You are protected in your own energy field. Envision a protective shield around yourself and around your home. Spend time with people and in situations that uplift your energy rather than draining it.

You are safe and surrounded by a glorious protective shield. You are not alone; your life is guided and protected by higher forces.

Within this knowing-ness you can soar to great heights. Breathe wee one. Trust.

Oh my giddy aunt! Those glorious beasts were delicious. How did they resonate for you?

So darling one, wishing you a week of ease, grace and flow. Don’t get tangled in any one else’s stuff, tinsel or lights. If it resonates for you to come join Omen Days – please do. If you want to find out your Personal Theme, please do. If you just want to be left the fuck alone and celebrate Solstice as you like – grab the Winter Solstice book.

See you next week.

What Does Peace Mean as We Spiral Toward Solstice?

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

How are you, truly? How did that Gemini Full Moon land in your body and your bones?

We’ve just moved through a windswept lunar peak — a dispersing, airy brightness that asked us to pause, listen, and gather ourselves before the final descent into the dark. We’re now in the waning half of the lunar cycle and the waning arc of the solar year, and both luminaries are whispering the same thing:
A long, slow exhale.

A softening into sacred wintering.

And this — this Sacred Wintering — is exactly why we walk the path of the Omen Days. Many of you have been eagerly asking about it, and I had hoped to release everything today. But with two sick adults and a sick toddler in my care, the universe had other plans.

So here’s the update:
The full Omen Days teaching, the signup page, and all you need to know will be arriving mid-week.

And alongside it?
The glorious Book of Winter — fondly known as Soul Season — will also be released.
She is rich, magical, layered, and ready to hold you through this deep and luminous time of year.

Quite a few of you reached out over the last week saying you felt scattered, overwhelmed, or completely “out of sorts.” A few even used the word “fucked”—and honestly, I felt that too. My own energy ricocheted from panic to anger to anxiety to “everyone leave me alone” to “wait, maybe don’t leave me entirely alone.” It was bizarre, disorienting, and very Mercury-meets-Gemini-in-the-dark-season coded.

Then, on the night of the Full Moon, I did the forgiveness ritual from Soul Season, and the peace that came flooding in was divine. Nourishing. Resetting.

The kind of peace that feels like your soul finally unclenches.

Which got me thinking about Peace itself. Not the fluffy, surface-level version, but the real, embodied, sensory experience. There’s a beautiful children’s book by Vladimir Radunsky where kids from around the world describe what peace feels like. Their answers are everything:

What does peace smell like?
Peace smells like a bouquet of flowers in a happy family’s living room, or pizza fresh from the oven.

What does peace look like?
It looks like a cat and a dog curled up together, or the soft glow of newborn babies.

What does peace sound like?
It sounds like a silent day. Raindrops falling. No bad words.

What does peace taste like?
It tastes like vanilla ice cream… or your favourite food times two.

What does peace feel like?
It feels like the hug you get when you cry. Someone stroking your back. A tiny shiver, but the good kind.

Kids tell the truth adults forget.

Seasonally, this past week aligned with the lighting of the Advent candle of Peace — connected to the plant realm: the roots, the stems, the leaves, the quiet green life that nourishes and heals us. I love this reminder: Peace is not theoretical. It’s embodied. It grows.

And of course, this all leads us directly toward Winter Solstice — my beloved threshold of the year. Solstice is that exquisite moment when the old cycle exhales and the new one inhales. I can feel it weeks ahead, humming under everything, asking us to reflect, to return inward, to listen.

This is the season that naturally brings forward the big questions:
Am I showing up the way I’m called to? Am I living the life that wants to live through me?

As Autumn falls away and Winter rises, we enter the realm of descent — emotion returning to form, water returning to earth, light sinking lower and lower. It’s the most inward, yin part of the year, even though our outer world demands noise, speed, and performance.

But your body knows better. It wants to rest. To replenish. To create slowly. To imagine softly. To hold Peace and Hope like warm stones in your pockets as you walk deeper into the dark.

So let me ask again, from the heart of this seasonal turning:
What does Peace mean to you?
And how can you carry it with you into Solstice?

Okay, with all that being said (sometimes I do chunter on!), let’s crack on with the reading.

Okay gorgeous one, settle into your body, breathe yourself back. As you gently slow down your breathing I invite you to bring up the sensation of Peace (whatever that means to you) and allow it to swirl in your mind’s eye. If you need a bit more support with Peace there’s a lovely little guided visualisation for you. Then, when you’re ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to go see?

BATH KOL

Eschew complicated explanations, as you seek the simplicity of the deepest truth of your heart. Gently but firmly cast aside that which does not resonate as being true for your heart. Focus upon, and speak from, a higher spiritual perspective. All prayers are answered at the perfect time and in the perfect way. You have a powerful voice, which can foster healing wisdom on our planet.

Bath Kol is a mysterious creature. She is an angel known as the divine oracle, the daughter of the divine voice, the pure and true sound of spirit. When she whispers to your heart, you feel it as an inner knowing, a truth. To honour that inner knowing likely requires the confrontation of fear or moving in unexpected directions.

Even so, the deep resonance of her truth is more powerful than the resistance we may initially feel as we let go of our limited perspectives and allow ourselves to be guided by Spirit.

Often an inner spiritual call requires a leap of faith. A more authentic, awakened you is coming to life. Paving the way for the higher self to manifest typically means that fear and control based approaches need to be surrendered. Honouring Bath Kols guidance requires courage but brings rich reward on many levels.

Acknowledge your true voice. This may be the voice in your own heart which needs to be heard without judgement or censorship. It may be an intuitive inner knowing to be recognised. It may be a loving and helpful voice of a reliable guide or friend whom you know can be trusted. It may be a teaching from a dream or an insight from a meditation, or even an inkling that certain happenings or sightings are signs from the Universe to help you on your life path.

Practise your power of discernment. Filter ego from heart. If a point of view lowers your vibration, makes you feel negatively about yourself or another, increases your confusion or makes matters seem more complicated, it is likely to be an ego-driven viewpoint. To consider what you might be able to learn from that viewpoint, you need to settle yourself on more authentic spiritual ground.

DVARA PATRA

Out of confusion, a clear and progressive pathway is opening up for you. It is an auspicious time to give generously of yourself to others, enriching the quality of your connections, expressing spiritual blessings of goodwill and encouragement from your heart. A powerful blessing is entering your world. A prayer is now being answered in a beautiful way. Spirit gives freely and generously of all the goods things, and the task of humanity is to learn how to receive. The key to receiving is an open, surrendered, generous and trusting heart.

The Holy Grail is the sacred chalice. It is a powerful, living, regenerative and deeply healing symbol of hope and blessing. It will interact with each soul in its own way. For your soul, that may involve a recognition that the light is always seeking you, wanting to fill and heal and bless and protect you, to initiate you into awareness of the realms of light, beauty and divine presence.

It may remind your heart to receive, that you are capable of being a channel for goodness, grace, abundance and pure light. It may be recognised as a sign of a future blessing, of something truly desired finally coming to pass.

The sacred grail is hope; it is a blessing. It is both a portent of fulfilment and the inner means by which we connect with the loving language of light and truly receive. In Sanskrit, patra means ‘goblet’ or ‘vessel.’ In learning how to receive, we also learn how to be received, how to be fully beheld, which is an expression of unconditional love. The sacred chalice reminds us of our potential to hold, but also for the generosity of the Universe in providing for us so we, too, can be held and receive all we need.

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

To honour and empower the sacred feminine genius in our lives requires a considerable shift away from mainstream, conditioning and into spiritual surrender. Allowing her method, rather than blocking her loving creativity in our lives, entails the movement from head to heart.

As you invert your priorities from ego to soul, you’ll invert your locus of orientation from head to heart, from outer to inner reality. You will trust what your heart knows, whether or not it makes sense to your logical mind – or to anyone else’s for that matter.

YOGINI OF 285 Hz

Changes in your life, including closing doors or missed opportunities are not going to derail your fulfilment. Realignments are happening based on divine wisdom and timing. You are being diverted from unnecessary obstacles and suffering. Trust in how your life path is unfolding. Stay true to your authentic healing journey, because it is working, whether you realise that or not. Significant inner healing is taking place.

In numerous spiritual traditions of the East, such as those from Nepal, Tibet and India , the yogini is a female spiritual adept, a practitioner of deep yoga that awakens a powerful connection with one’s real inner being. The yogini holds space for healing and enlightenment, moving through obstacles and challenges with wisdom, patience, commitment and often great joy.

She is our spiritual sister, our sacred friend and our guide away from the bleak, erroneous thinking of ego into the softened, awakened, relaxed, gracious way of Spirit.

My darling you are on a powerful healing journey to connect body, mind and soul with the truth of your spiritual nature. You are working at an inner level to let go of past pains and open up to your empowerment and grace, dignity and legitimacy in the present moment. There is a spiritual approach to heal any and all struggles in your life.

If you feel disoriented or conflicted about a choice, trust that this chaos is a consequence of a cosmic realignment with your life path. Move through it with trust in your heart, patience and a willingness to keep the faith, knowing you will eventually find your way. The adjustments taking place within you will affect your outer world.

Just like the tumultuous alchemical journey of the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, your inner transformation shall shape you and your world into the beautiful, inspired, and authentic form it is meant to be.

And stay tuned, Gorgeous Soul — this mid-week brings the unveiling of Omen Days, the signup page, and your invitation into the radiant practice of winter divination.

Plus the release of Soul Season — the Book of Winter that has been waiting so patiently to meet you.

Let’s walk this descent with intention.
Let’s make it sacred.

Wishing you a glorious week of Peace my darling. Take a nice long slow deep breath!

✨ Witchlight & Whisper: Crossing the Threshold of Samhain ✨

Jenny Heston · 12:12 am ·

Gorgeous Soul,

Samhain arrives this Friday, and I can feel the shimmer of it already — that deep, ancient hum that says: something sacred is stirring.

My yard has become a glowing little underworld of its own — tangled spider webs catching the moonlight, skulls grinning beside tombstones, ghostly shapes drifting in the wind, and a few loyal skeleton dogs keeping watch.

Inside, candles hang suspended from the ceiling and flicker to life with the wave of a wand. (Yes, I absolutely believe in a good wand!)

But here’s the thing — if you’re anything like me, you intend to do something meaningful for Samhain every year… and then life swirls in.

You blink, and the day has passed.
The portal opened and closed, and you’re left thinking:
“I meant to pause. I meant to honour it.”

I want you to know — it’s okay.
The magick hasn’t passed you by.

Samhain doesn’t demand perfection — it simply asks for presence.

Even a moment of stillness, a candle lit in the dark, a quiet walk beneath the falling leaves can become a doorway.

Because Samhain isn’t only one night — it’s a season of descent.
A whole stretch of time where the veil thins and the light of summer recedes into mystery.

It’s an ancient Celtic turning point — the end of harvest and the beginning of the dark half of the year. A time when our ancestors drew close, when the otherworld whispered through the wind and dreams carried messages between realms.

Samhain is a threshold — a fertile pause between death and rebirth.

It’s where we can meet the unseen, commune with our guides and ancestors, and listen to the wisdom that surfaces only in stillness. I have to say, I love Samhain as it is the epitome of endings and beginnings.

This is a transformative time of year. When you connect with this potent energy, and let it guide you in your soul work, you can create lasting growth & change in your life.

If you’re feeling the call to explore these mysteries more deeply, to anchor this sacred time with intention and beauty, I created Witchlight & Whisper: Samhain Magick for the Soul as your companion for this very journey.

Inside its 47 luminous pages you’ll find:
🕯️ Rituals to honour the ancestors and the turning of the year
🌑 Reflections and journal prompts for descent and renewal
🍂 Simple ceremonies to meet your Samhain guides
🌕 Spells and seasonal lore to awaken your inner witchlight

Let this book be your lantern as you cross the threshold into the dark half of the year — a guide to remembering that the darkness is not something to fear, but a place of deep dreaming, fertile transformation, and return.

Step into the magick → Witchlight & Whisper: Samhain Magick for the Soul

Now with all that chuntering let’s go meet your guides as we walk towards the threshold.

In this season, your Samhain guides — whether ancestors, animal spirits, or aspects of your own deep knowing — are reaching out.

They move through candlelight, through intuition, through the quiet moments when the world goes still. You don’t have to chase them. Just open the space, light the flame, breathe — and listen.

✨ Ask them what they want you to release.
✨ Ask them what seed they are offering you for the winter ahead.
✨ Ask them how you can walk with greater authenticity and soul.

Ready!

I invite you to take a long, deep, luxurious breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. Let your face relax, your jaw relax and the worries of the day drop to the floor like leaves from autumnal trees.

You picked yes?

Shall we go see?

FOREST TEMPLE

Enlightenment

The sound of delicate chanting fills the forest. You follow the sound, as you walk down a meandering path into a small clearing. Before you, a forest temple becomes visible. As you get closer, it feels that the chanting is penetrating deep into your soul. Something seems to be shifting within you. Everything is the same, yet everything is somehow different.

Meditate on the light within you and around you. Connect with the ever-present of the Divine. Right now your awareness is increasing. Your ability to understand the world is shifting. More and more, you can see situations from all points of view, and this creates an expansion in all parts of your life.

We can often get stuck in seeing the world from only your personal point of consciousness, which is dramatically restricting possibilities for you. A one-sided adamant view of life can block a vast influx of light, joy, and connection to the Creatrix.

Strict adherence to your beliefs can obstruct wonderful opportunities from flooding your life. Be willing to step outside your limited points of view and see the world from the others’ perspectives, and your life will expand.

With enlightenment, you’ll feel the expansion from a limited sense of self to an awareness of the cosmos around you. That loves you.

Positive changes are coming. You are lightening up; feel buoyant and free. Your connection to Spirit is deepening if you allow it. Old beliefs about who you are and what you deserve in life are falling away, replaced by incredible new paths.

EAGLE SPIRIT

Freedom

Eagle Spirit invites you onto her back, and you dwindle in size so that you can climb on. You hold on to the down beneath her feathers as she soars higher and higher. The forest looks smaller and smaller, yet you can see so clearly as you ascend above the clouds. You have never felt so free!

It’s time to break free and let your spirit fly! Be daring as you go beyond predictable behaviour. Fling your arms up to the heavens in joy.

Also, pay attention when you have let life or others restrict your freedom. Recognising this is the first step to reclaiming your power. Don’t allow yourself to be trapped by convention or the expectations of others. The truth is that you aren’t here on this earth to be ordinary, but to step beyond limitations and self-imposed boundaries.

You have the ability to choose your life on your terms. Perhaps you aren’t always free to create the exact circumstances of your life – but you’re certainly able to decide what meaning to give those situations. Select meanings that empower you, for this is the time to break free. Hold the intent that boundless freedom surges through you, and so it shall.

This is the time to express yourself. Don’t hold back. Choose life on your terms.

Don’t be trapped by the expectations of others.

New Beginnings

It’s time to wipe the slate clean; it’s time to release the old and start again.

The Creatrix is at your side, and wonderful opportunities will be born in your life. Wholeness occurs when you can say yes to both endings and beginnings.

It’s time to start a new project or a new cycle. Life force and vitality are emerging. Release that which doesn’t serve and support you. Make way for a new start!

Lol, you seriously can’t make this shit up! Sorry if swearing offends you, but you can’t! Wishing for you a beautiful Samhain, gift yourself Witchlight and Whispers if you feel called, but most importantly take the invitation that is being offered of stepping into the dark (in the Western Hemisphere) and really embrace yourself.

Big massive Pumpkin Smiles and may wee tiny Mars bars appear when you need them!

With love, light, and a whisper from the Otherworld,

Through Smoke and Starlight: Where Libra’s Balance Meets Samhain’s Magic.

Finding Balance and Magick in the Turning of the Seasons

What a glorious Thanksgiving weekend it was — full of good food, laughter, and golden autumn light! But the true highlight for me? Watching my youngest “monster” (as I affectionately call him) cross the finish line of his very first half marathon!

It was nothing short of epic — especially when I think back to three years ago, when an ATV accident crushed his ankle. He was pieced together with pins and determination, and to see him run 21 kilometres with strength, focus, and sheer tenacity brought tears to my eyes.

Proof, once again, that the human spirit is nothing short of miraculous.

The Libra New Moon — Returning to Center

As we move into the Libra New Moon on October 21st, we officially close Eclipse Season and step onto a brand new path.

Libra, ruled by Venus, invites us into harmony and balance. When the world feels like it’s spinning too fast — when responsibilities pile up, when deadlines and to-do lists start whispering louder — Libra gently calls us home to our center.

This is a time to pause, breathe, and ask:
✨ What does balance look like for me, right now?
✨ Where am I holding judgment — of myself or others — that I can lovingly release?
✨ What three small actions can I take today to restore harmony in my body, mind, and soul?

Even amidst the uncertainty that this New Moon brings (and there is a lot of planetary activity stirring the cosmic pot), balance is the thread that holds it all together.

Gratitude, too, helps us find our footing — honouring how far we’ve come and trusting that we are exactly where we need to be on the path forward.

Samhain Whispers and the Scent of Woodsmoke

And oh, can you feel it? Halloween and Samhain are almost here — that delicious threshold between worlds.

I absolutely adore this time of year: the costumes, the pumpkin carving (we created some wonderfully weird ones this weekend!), the crisp morning air, the smell of wood smoke drifting through the night, and the satisfying crunch of leaves under my boots as I wander.

Samhain (pronounced Sow-een) marks the third and final harvest, the Celtic New Year, and the time when the veil between worlds grows thin. It’s when we honour the ancestors, release what no longer serves us, and step into the mystery of transformation.

Nature mirrors this perfectly — trees shedding their leaves, the earth turning inward, and us doing the same. For me, “death” isn’t something to fear. It’s a release — of old stories, habits, or ways of being — so something new can emerge.

Samhain carries a deep, delicious energy: potent, mysterious, magical. It’s an invitation to turn inward, light a candle, and listen for the whispers of your soul.

And yes, my Samhain Bundle is coming soon — filled with rituals, reflections, and celebrations to help you honour this sacred turning. It will be released on the New Moon, so stay tuned!

So, with visions of pumpkins dancing in your head, the crisp scent of autumn on the breeze, and the crunch of leaves beneath your feet — let’s walk together into this next chapter.

This week, there is no guided visualisation, thus, I invite you to gently call back all the pieces of you that you might have left at the coffee store, the school, in your car, at your desk and breathe them all back to you. As you breathe, see yourself filled up with glorious gorgeous white light and let it pour through you and out your toes. When you feel settled in your body, invite in the energy of Samhain, the wisdom of the ancestors, the thinning of the veil and gently ask them to guide you as you pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see who wants to guide you this week.

WINGED SEER

The Winged Seer is an oracle angel: a being who can see the weavings of energy and thus the way events are set to unfold if the current energies and paths are followed. She then sends you your messages clairvoyantly, through your ability to see clearly, although your visions may seem anything but clear. As you grow to trust your own clear-seeing moments, you will have brighter and brighter flashes of insight, and you will be able to see exactly what is going on within a situation, in a flash.

As so many people hide the truth, even from themselves, it can be hard to receive a visit from me, because I will help you see when someone is camouflaging and half-telling truths, and you will also have insights that seem to come from supernatural sources. It is as if you have changed sight; you can see further, higher, and more deeply within.

You will experience flashes of the future and sudden understandings of the past, and you will be able to foretell likely outcomes. I am the eye of Ra, re-creating your future, and the Adrinka, the protective eye, that watches over you while you sleep, and if you follow through on what you now clearly see, there will be illumination, victory, and wisdom. Trust that sacred Sight.

You have asked for more information, asked to discover what you need to know. Now that the information has come to you, you must be courageous and take action based on what you cannot “logically” explain! It is important, now more than ever, to be honest about what you can see – but most of all, to be honest with your own self.

WITCH AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Storms fly about her, electrical whips crack through the heavy air with their bites of fire, and she sits among them, hugging her hourglass, holding everything together till the force creating the change has done its work.

When the Witch at the End of the World makes her appearance to you, you will know that something’s time has come. There can be no more delaying, for the change has begun. So the best thing for you to do now is prepare for this change.

Find solutions to challenges that will come up when the change comes. You will be fine, by the way, and all will be well, but there will be a time of seeming chaos and difficulty. If you are prepared, and ready to let go and change, and let something end, the little witch’s countdown will not affect you as it will affect others who refuse to acknowledge that changes are coming and become fearful at their inevitable approach.

There is nothing to fear, but plenty to prepare for. You will be safe, and well, and very ready to embrace the new world.

I am not wicked, but I am a witch, and changes are made when the world bends and shifts. I hold this hourglass up to you now so you know that the time for an ending is almost upon us. You can see the signs all about you – the strange weather, the hurricanes, the cyclones, the earth changes all about us – but so many simply say I am wicked for showing you this. They blame me for what they call the catastrophes, and they ignore the signs. They are with you, and it is time to be ready. We are all about to experience a huge change – and it will be for the better. But while we hold on to the old, the storms will blast us, and the land will shift, and self-healing will look like destruction.

There is nothing to be frightened of; only a voyage to weather, and you’ll make it through to the other side of the storm. The changes are part of our journey to a fifth-dimensional world, of the shift to a more peaceful planet, where shadows and light are loved and accepted. All is well.

STRANGE VALENTINE

Love doesn’t always look like we thought it would – thank goodness!

It’s in the strange and the surprising that the sweetest loves can be found, as this odd little pair have found, much to each one’s joy, comfort, and delight!

When this lovely pair, Strange Valentine, comes to visit, you are about to be gifted with love, romance, and friendship from an unexpected, even unusual, place! Don’t let differences keep you apart – because they are what is drawing you together, and when you are as delicate and fragile as you can be, someone as strong and protective as this gorgeous, friendly yeti can be just what you need!

You have an enormous amount of cosmic help at the moment – and it’s all focusing on the area of your love life. You will soon receive very good news regarding a relationship.

You will also do a lot of work on healing old wounds from past relationships, especially past long-term, serious relationships. Now, some of this news may not seem so great at the time.

But please give yourself a chance to absorb the lessons, because you are moving into beautiful new phase of your romantic life, where you will be free to create a wonderful new love life for yourself. Coming…very…soon!

You may experience a massive surge in emotional energy and in romantic beginnings. So it’s very likely you’ll attract, encounter, or simply bump into someone who reawakens long-lost feelings inside you, and who may not be your “type.” Hoorah!

I love how that reading unfolded, first talking about truth, to changes, to love. Aaaahhhhhh. So delicious lovely. May your nose be filled with fresh crisp air and may your feet jump between puddles and crunch leaves. Allow yourself to feel the energy pull you into our next season and trust in the mysteries and magick that are unfolding. Huge hugs and squeezes and see you next week!

Trust Yourself

Happy Last Reading of 2025.

Samhain is a threshold — a fertile pause between death and rebirth.
