DNA, Ancestors, Love is in the Air and Random Acts of Kindness!

Jenny Heston · 1:10 am ·

Happy Most, ‘Mazing, Marvelous, Magnificent, Magickal, Mellow, Majestic, Manifesting, Monday!  (yes, ‘mazing is now a word!)

My pansies have perished and my snowdrops have shrivelled!  The other week I mentioned that it was colder than normal here, but Holy Mary Mother of God!  We got snow (yes, real snow which apparently they don’t really get hear, thus they aren’t used to it) and it was fascinating to watch what happened.  People wouldn’t leave their houses, hardly anyone had a snow shovel and drivers kept driving as if it wasn’t snowy (positively terrifying to watch!) Then after the snow, in blew Arctic Winds up to 60-90km (have to say I love the sound of the wind howling around outside and down the chimney) and everything turned to ice!  Ah well, thankfully my truck has snow tires and snow doesn’t bother me, it’s just the people who have no clue what to do that cause me a tad of consternation.

Over the last week I have had to remind myself we are still in Winter, even though inside my body is a wiggly-ness towards Spring!  Which is no surprise at all, with Imbolc having happened (an invitation to plant the seeds), New Moon (another invitation to plant seeds), Chinese New Year, Eclipse energy (remember it perks for about 6 months) and Activation – need I say more?.  So there’s this weird discombobulation between the external (snow and ice outside, still Winter) and the internal (wanting to rush forth, create, blossom and find the light again!)

This got me to thinking, Winter is the element of Earth, it’s the dirt, the bones, the stones, the ancestors.  It’s the season where we pull inward, nourish ourselves and find the internal stories. So the other day as I was walking with a friend, we started talking about ancestry, heritage, lineage and DNA tests. Did you know that the whole DNA and Ancestry industry is booming? Which is good but not so good at the same time.  Research has shown that various companies that demand a high fee for this DNA/Ancestor report don’t have the data to support what they provide you with. There was a great report done by two identical twin reporters who submitted their DNA to 2 organisations and both places came back with these women weren’t related at all and the data they provided for each was so random.  So why are people opting for these tests at a huge rate and at considerable expense? Good question! So I went and did some digging and talked to various organisations etc and it turns out that with our society being rather fragmented and disconnected, there is a lot of social isolation and a massive sense of disconnect. So people are looking, searching and desperate to find out where they came from and what that means.  It’s a way of giving oneself a sense of belonging and connection. Because if you think about it as a culture on the whole, we have lost the oral tradition where stories were passed down through the generations and memories were shared. I count myself as very fortunate as I can go back at least 10 generations in my family of origin. A huge part of that was due to my Great Aunts sharing stories and memories, and also due to various other relatives doing a lot of digging and then sharing the information.  

The other night when the snow was flooding down and the winds were whipping it each and every way I stood and watched the snowflakes dance from side to side in the lamp light outside.  As I watched, rather mesmerised a verse from one of the songs that I need to learn for the Acapella group that I just joined flooded to mind:-

Listen more often to things than to beings,

Listen more often to things than to beings,

‘Tis the ancestors’ breath when the fire’s voice is heard,

‘Tis the ancestors’ breath in the voice of the water.

Those who have died have never never left

The dead are not under the earth.

They are in the rustling trees,

They are in the groaning woods.

They are in the crying grass,

They are in the moaning rocks.

The dead are not under the earth.

This song comes from Birago Diop’s poem “Breaths” where we are reminded of the continuum of the invisible world of spirit, man, and the visible world of nature existing along a continuum and forming an organic reality.  Personally, I find that rather comforting to know I’m not alone, I’m part of the whole.

So as I was lying in bed last night I invited in my ancestors, all of the ones that I know of and those before them and asked them to come into my dream space.  It was very cool! I felt sooo loved, held, supported and guided. Connected.  

How much of your ancestry do you know of?  Do you feel called to get a DNA/Ancestry test?

Well if that was a tad heavy for you (as I know it can be triggering for some) to explore the past.  Let’s look at Love is in the Air, yes, this week we have Valentine’s Day!  Now, I want you to keep in mind that originally Valentine’s Day had nothing to do with romantic love (seriously).  But thanks to Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century when the tradition of courtly love flourished, it started turning that way.  In 18th-century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending handmade greeting cards (known as “valentines”).   There is also the tale of Saint Valentine of Rome who was imprisoned for marrying soldiers, who were forbidden to marry, and ministering to Christians who were persecuted under the Roman Empire. According to legend, during his imprisonment Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge, and before his execution he wrote her a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell.  

Even though this holiday is associated with “romantic love” I invite you to practice some self love.  Do something delicious and delightful for yourself, no matter how small.  Take yourself on a lunch date, have a glorious bubble bath, buy a bunch of flowers for yourself, pack yourself a heart shaped sandwich.  A little something to remind yourself that you are loved, and that you love you. Yes? Every Valentines I get those brown paper lunch bags, decorate the heck out of them, fill them with sweeties, daft riddles and jokes, funky pencils and all sorts of random stuff and each of the kids gets one.  Our food is normally heart shaped as well! (Trust me a heart shaped burger is a beauty to behold) and we normally have a heart shaped Pavlova covered in cream, fresh berries and grated chocolate. So whether it is romantic love, familial love, pet love or friend love that you are celebrating this year.  Please remember to start with you first, okay, connect with you!  Because in case you need a reminder, you are deliciously, delightful and so very, very loved!

So with the image of your glorious ancestors and love now in your mind, let’s look at the fact it’s Random Acts of Kindness Week!  (I love, love, love RAOK!)  So this is a beautiful invitation to get out of your head and into your heart and do something random for someone else and no, you don’t even have to know them.  I have left little love notes in random post boxes, paid for coffee for someone who is going to come in and needs one, driven little old ladies and their groceries home – you name it.  Think of a couple of things that you can do that won’t stress you out and do them. As in the Witches world, everything comes back thrice fold. So what do you feel you could do? It could be uber simple as in lifting your head up when walking and smiling at everyone, telling someone they look awesome, touching a random strangers arm as you talk.  Get creative and just play with it, remember it’s not meant to be a chore, more like paying it forward, sharing and CONNECTING!

Okay, now I have waffled on for what may seem like forever, let’s get on with the reading!  (I’ve been perking a different way of sharing all the glorious events, celebrations, seasons etc with you that is separate, but more on that later).  When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide this week I nearly snorted tea out of my nose when “The Earth Warriors Oracle” were more than adamant to be front and centre.  This has been a shy and rather reticent deck when it comes to public readings, so this is very cool.  If this deck is new to you, please let me introduce them to you. “There is a river flowing now very fast.  It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.  They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are torn apart and will suffer greatly.  Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water.  And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.  The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word “struggle” from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

Seriously, I can’t make this stuff up even if I tried.  Wow.

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled were very interesting.  Dallasite – which is effectively a personal brainstorming stone, representing purity of heart, gentleness of spirit, kindness without ulterior motive.  Smoky Quartz – this is an amazing stone for grounding, leaving behind baggage and surrendering.  Last but not least, an Orthoceras – which is a fossil (do you see the little fish in it), assist you in moving from the old to the new and to be receptive to the fresh, innovative forces that are available to you.  Fossils can assist you in your quest for transition, transformation and personal growth, helping you to understand the process of change.

I have to say I was tickled to see Dallasite pop up as apparently when I walk the beach each morning and pick up a stone for me and one for my sister, I have picked up 10 raw Dallasites for her!

Okay, let’s settle and ground shall we?  I have created a visualisation to help with this, but if that’s not your gig, all good.  I invite you to put both feet on the floor, earth, snow and if you are able stand up tall.  Really allow your spine to stretch up to the heavens, whilst your feet stay anchored to earth and just Breathe.  Breathe in through your nose and sigh it out through your mouth. Allow anything to drop to the earth and allow your ancestors to come whisper to you, stories of love, kindness and connection.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that are yours.

https://www.jennyheston.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/ancestor-vidualisation-1.m4a

Did you pick?

Let’s go have a look see shall we?

TOTEMIC PUMA

I am Puma, I awaken within you the vigorous energy, fierce power and ability to act without hesitation when the moment is right.  My patience and strategy, my preparation and precision, my fearlessness and decisiveness are now your own. Allow my sacred medicine to fill your soul and bring courage to your heart.  You have come into your power.

You’ve got this.  Don’t let fear or hesitation hold you back.  Apply yourself fully to the task. Let go of old ways of viewing yourself as incapable, scattered or wasteful of energy.  You have the ability to focus intently, to generate clear intention, and to achieve your ambitions through methodical steps and an applied will.  You have the internal resources you need for successful completion. Even if no one else recognises your potential and believes in your future success, in due course they will understand differently.

Puma moves through your soul as guardian and guide.  When Puma appears, it is a significant sign that you have come into your power.  Puma moves with stealth and silence. You may wonder if this sounds much like you.  You may consider yourself to be – at least sometimes – more of a doubter than one prone to fearlessness and certainty.  Yet the soul medicine of Puma builds within us silently. WE may not even realise that her power is there, until all of a sudden, when it is needed, we act with unerring focus and unwavering commitment.  

This right use of power – surrendered to the Divine – will help you overcome your reluctance and lay claim to your will.  You need your will to transform inspiration into action. The world truly needs this from you. Whatever it is that you dream of attaining or desire to do in this world, Puma arrives with this message – you have the power.  

MAMA QUILLA

I, the Lunar Mother, bring you my Mandala of the Moon to manifest through the law of magnetic attraction.  My mandala is the sacred portal through which your dreams, intentions and visions shall pass into the wholeness of being, from the realm of inspiration into the world of form on earth.  There is no need for doubt or concern, for even the appearance of delay signifies that the divine feminine mystery is at work, with timing unfolding according to a higher, loving wisdom.  Trust that what is falling away is meant to be, whilst you have faith in new divine works being born.

Relax with trust and positive expectations that all your needs will be met.  This makes it easier for abundance to flow and all earthly and spiritual matters to fall into place according to a great and loving higher intelligence.  Things are changing even if you cannot see the physical evidence of this as yet. Trust that your actions are leading you into a better way of life. Rely on the Universe and you shall see how all things come together according to a timing and higher order that suits you, in ways even better thn you have imagined yourself.

Don’t resist the natural cycle of creation.  This means accepting the symbolic night during which we cannot act, we cannot see, we have to rest and be patient, having faith that the day will dawn at the right time.  So we do not insist that things manifest immediately according o our personal opinion about how, why, when and where. The Divine has a destiny intended for you. When you surrender, you are led into it.   

PACHA KARMAQ

You are granted the gifts of fertility, creativity and earthly abundance to support all needs – for nourishing body, mind and soul and to to live your life fully and be capable of manifesting your divine purpose.  Give yourself permission to be nourished. This includes your body and also providing your heart, your mind, your soul with what they are hungry for – meaning, sweetness, divine love and permission to be authentic.  When you feed yourself that which truly nourishes you, wisely and generously, you shall become one who can also feed the world that for which it ruly hungers.

Explore and experiment with nutritional wisdom which suits your body at this time  Understand that it may change over time. Remember that caring for the needs of your body is more important and spiritually mature than trying to force your body to meet the expectations of a belief system outside of yourself.  Don’t starve yourself of what you need on any level of your being, including, peace, solitude, love, time spent in spiritual communion, artistic expression and nutrition. Answers are coming for your questions about all forms of nourishment, including nutrition, so do not give up when you are so close to finding your way.  

Finding what works for you can only happen as you begin to listen to your body, to your mind and your soul, listening as if your spirit were  caring and wise parent. As we recondition ourselves to listen rather than demand, we tap into the healing guidance of the Divine Feminine dwelling within us.  

Well my delicious lovely, I hope you heard the message for you and are paying attention! I would like to express my love and thanks for all your glorious messages, emails and comments!  Wishing you a glorious week of inviting your ancestors (whether known or not) into your space and connecting, touching into the earth, the bones, the stones and the crystals, massive love for you and yours, and random acts of kindness.  Remember, if we all connect on this level, wowzers! Think about the change and transformation for self, family, community and globally that would happen! Eat something sweet, treat yourself well, smile at a random person or even give them a hug!  Massive hugs and squeezes for you and see you next week.

New Moon, Chinese New Year, Activation Energy, and Imbolc just happened!

Jenny Heston · 1:03 am ·

Happy Miraculous, Magickal, Majestic, Mellow, Momentous, Mystical, Merry, Mischievous, Marmalade Made Manifesting Monday!  (Had to slip Marmalade in as for me marmalade on a glorious piece of fresh bread toasted – nom, nom, nom!)

I don’t know about you, but my goodness the temperature plummeted here yesterday, so it was a tad cold to say the least whilst trying to get 10km in prior to my first Acapella rehearsal!  There were even fat, luscious snow flakes and everyone was talking about “the snow” (forecasted 2cm lol). What with the wind and the moisture from the ocean it seeps into your bones (time to break out the long underwear I think!)  Well, with that visual imagery in your head let’s talk about what’s happening this week!

This week, oh my goodness there is tons to talk about, tons, tons, tons!  (I am so wiggly I would put a Labrador puppy to shame!)

Okay, on Friday we had Imbolc, did you have a chance to tap into Imbolc at all?  I have to admit that my energy in the afternoon was that of “not a happy camper”, more like that of “an angry truck driver”, a weird discontent was flooding through.  So I used the ritual of washing the floors in my home with rosemary, lemon, geranium and sage to release the old and welcome in the new Spring energy. I then unwound the old energy with smudge and smudged in a new energy, I picked a vase of snowdrops, did some Yoga, made delicious food, lit a fire and a plethora of blessing candles and then curled up in front of the fire and wrote!  It was quite delicious! And it helped relieve that discontent and fear energy. Then on Saturday (which many call Candlemas) to lock it in I went “forest bathing” as my lovely friend Renee calls it, which is a phrase I love. I personally call it “green therapy”. So hours in old growth coastal woods, drinking in the sights of huge ferns as tall as me, trees bedecked in bright green moss and a hike out to a glorious point where the waves made the rocks reverberate underneath my feet and the sound of sea lions filled the air (let alone the fat seals languorously flipping in circles in the water).  It was absolutely Divine and like a massive soul balm!!!

Shamanically, the energy has shifted for February into ACTIVATION. If you remember December was CHAOS, then January was CLEAN IT UP  and now it’s ACTIVATION time.  I remember as a kid watching older episodes of Dr. Who with the Dalek’s and when they got all excited they would holler (in robotic voices) “Activate, Activate, Activate!”  But what does this shift in energy all mean? I am going to let Lena explain it as she is most certainly the expert on the Shamanic energy:- “It is the energy of a spark, of ignition, of a burst of creativity or destruction. It is a month of passion, friction that causes change, and the adjustment necessary to re-balance and re-group. There is movement and action, and the need to channel this energy constructively for new insights, motivation and productivity.

Emotional discontent fuels the impulse, the friction and the desire for change.  It is a time when reconnecting with your passion is not only possible but advisable. What have you denied yourself? The need for adventure this year becomes an ally and the passion mode takes hold. Fortunately, we also have some very grounded aspects that will help tame this potentially volatile energy from frying everything in its path.

Let’s talk about the discontent. There is an aggravated energy that is pushing us towards conflict or breakthrough, new insights and new solutions, and moving us through our discontent and maybe even anger. You must remember to accept this as an important energy that creates the necessary friction for a spark to take place that ignites a circumstance that creates a window for something new to happen and a resolution to be found.”  To read more you can find Lena here.

Today we have a New Moon in Aquarius!  So let’s unpack this a tad, every moon has energy based on the sign that they are in and what type of moon they are.  New Moon is a time of planting seeds and Aquarius has the energy of making this a very potent window for manifesting your highest vision for your future since Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, planet of future outcomes. Aquarius calls upon us to develop our ideas so they don’t just remain pipe dreams.  “The ultimate goal for this new moon is to activate and free up your creativity so it is important that you move through the irritation and other edgy emotions as quickly as possible and keep your eye on the goal.”  Thus, if you look at the energy of this month and it’s all about activation and then work that with the energy of the New Moon.  Wowzers! Let’s take some of those glorious seeds of desire, purpose, plenty and passion and give them the nurturing that they need – and watch what happens!

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, the Year of the Golden Pig!  I love pigs and this represents expansion, luck and abundance to those who are patient, honest & reliable.  As you may or not be aware, I love to celebrate! So Chinese New Year is a time of filling up little red envelopes with money and distributing them along with oranges!  (Yes some of my new neighbours are probably going to think I am totally bat shit crazy when I knock on their door with a red envelope and orange in hand). Red envelopes or hongbao in Mandarin and lai see in Cantonese, are a symbol of good luck and in the Chinese culture the colour red is associated with energy, happiness and good luck.  Why the oranges? Two of the most common food symbols of the Chinese New Year are tangerines and oranges. Whereas tangerines represent wealth, oranges are a popular symbol of good luck. … Oranges and tangerines are a traditional favorite, though, and can also represent happiness and abundance, as in an abundant harvest.  So why not run around the neighbourhood gifting red envelopes and oranges? We also prepare a gorgeous Chinese feast of amazing foods and spend time eating, laughing and playing games. So yes, I do love Chinese New Year!

Okay, are you paying attention, because in case you haven’t noticed we have received a truck load of energy pertaining to new, expansion, growth etc. What with Activation, Imbolc, New Moon, Chinese New Year. Holy Hannah! If you weren’t paying attention then you might want to. This is the strong powerful energy of burgeoning Spring, a glorious invitation to shake off the dross and heaviness of the winter and to start to re-focus on what is important to you and what you are passionate about.  Plant those seeds this New Moon and really take time daily (doesn’t have to big) to think about those glorious seeds that are sprouting and soon going to push through the cold, dark earth like lush snowdrops or bright crocuses! This is planning time, focus time and time to still let winter brush against your cheek whilst knowing in your heart the burgeoning gorgeous energy that comes when we release the old “stuff”, let the darkness get lighter and hold onto the promise of so much growth and manifestation.  Do I hear a “Heck Yes!”

When I asked the cards who wanted to come support, guide and lead this week I was tickled to see it was “The Faery Forest Oracle” – will all this glorious “new” and encouraging energy flying around who better to show us how to grow than the Faery Forest.  Now if this deck is new to you, please let me introduce these glorious guides:- “Let us enter the wild green world together, friend, the faery forests where the great trees speak with us, the moss soft underfoot, the light pure and gentle.  The homes of the once Sacred groves of the Celts, the Saxons, and the Vikings…and to the people who were here long before we had names with which to call them to us – the faerie people.  May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.”  So mote it be.

When I invited the crystals to come and play, glorious little Spring like robin eggs surged forth.  We have, Chrysocolla – new beginnings, starting over, motivation and inspiration, Angelite – Understanding, calm, comfort, reminds you that you are not alone, and last but not least,  Sodalite – the harmoniser, communication, harmony and trust.  A Selenite wand which amplifies the crystals and a plethora of snowdrops!

I have created a guided visualisation for you to really see this energy that is flooding in you, around you, towards you and through you.  If that doesn’t resonate then just Breathe. Breathe into your toe nails, breathe into the roots of your hair, breathe in all the promises, the blessings and opportunities and sigh your exhale out, letting go of anything that feels a tad sticky or tacky.

https://www.jennyheston.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/young-shoot.m4a

When you are ready invite your inner wise knowing to pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Take a breath and let’s go have a look!

THE GOLDEN UNICORN

Everyone deserves to have another person in their life to whom they can turn for protection and care.  When this card comes for you, the Golden Unicorn is showing you the path to a person, advisor, or mentor who will assist you through the challenges you are now facing.  When the Golden Unicorn appears, it is a beacon of hope, for with the right guidance, what seems to be impossible can be achieved, and you will no longer feel so raw, vulnerable, and unable to go on.

If you are facing unjust circumstances – you will be shown, step by step, how to get through this time, when it seems that all friends have fallen away, and the world is no longer a safe place.  The glorious golden unicorn leads with reason, intelligence, and intuitive brilliance. With their guidance you will come to a safer place within the world, and be wiser in choices regarding friendships, alliances, partnerships.

You are wiser now, and will never be quite so hurt again.  There is now protective energy about you, and it is safe for you to leave the current circumstances and create a new path.  The judgment you have sensed about you will now dissipate, and true, good people enter your life to help heal the pain of friendships that have fallen.

THE YULE SINGER

There are times in life when our light dims so that it seems it may go out for all eternity.  But when this time comes, you are being put to a great test. If you persevere at this time, you will experience a depth of life experience that will lead to you being reshaped, transformed,and, in many ways, changed.  You are undergoing such an experience at present, and this card is here to share with you that at such a time of great darkness and suffering, a new light will shine and bring you back to life, a kind of reincarnation within the same life you are now experiencing.

When this takes place, the Yule Singer will come to you and sing to you the song of your deepest self.  You will open up with this song and begin to live again – the pain will dissolve slowly, and surely you will enter into aa time of joy and light, while the flame of your spirit rises high once again within your soul.

Expect new friendships,easy connections, fortunate moments, and growth when this beautiful being comes to you.  The dark times are done with for now. You are stronger, brighter, and beginning once again a bright new cycle. Sing your song!

THE GREEN WITCH

When you are pure of heart, the whole world is full of potential.  And this is the message from this innocent Green Witch to you. She is green as in the fresh new shoot from the seed pushing urgently towards the sun.  She is green and connected to the earth, flowing with the cycles of Nature. She is green in that she looks as much to the natural world for company, friendship, and fulfillment as you currently do to fellow humans.

She is your reminder to begin to reconnect to the wild green world, to the faery forests all about you – to go back to a place where you empty yourself of expectations and stories and knowledge and just admit that in some circumstances and at some times, you are as a babe.  You are newborn, and in that moment of unknowing-ness, and of admitting and embracing your own powers of renewal, you can finally learn what it is you are here to learn.

Be not so certain, or so experienced when The Green Witch comes to you.  Be new. Be fresh. Be unwise, be unknowing. Be innocent. And then the new cycle can truly begin.

Hmmm, breathe in, breathe out.  I don’t know about you but the guides picked these to help you release the dark, the fear, the tight and scratchy and to really let you know about the light that surrounds you and is encouraging you to streeeeettttchh and grow, like the sprout coming from the glorious seed.  Wishing you a glorious week of celebration, intention, activation and ease. Keep cosy, laugh tons and make soup! (Always a good thing). Huge hugs and squeezes and see you next week.

How Tight is Your Comfort Zone? Imbolc is Coming! And New Moon is Rising.

Jenny Heston · 1:02 am ·

Happy Magnificent, Marvelous, Magickal, Magnanimous, Majestic, Major League, Masterly, Matchless, Memorable, Manifesting Monday!!!  Why do I have all these M’s? Well to be honest I always thought that poor Monday got a bad rap. How often have you heard people say “Urgghh it’s Monday?” What a weight to put on one little word and one little day, thus last year I decided we needed to reframe it and make it Magickally Marvelous and the Most Magnificent time for Manifesting!

Let’s talk about comfort zone first and foremost shall we?  How is your comfort zone feeling? I don’t know about you but for me the comfort zone can feel ohhhhh so deliciously safe and oh so cosy!  As a massive introvert (and I don’t like labels) I am more comfy curled up on the sofa with a book, writing, or playing with a doggo than going out with a massive amount of people I don’t know.  Don’t get me wrong if they are my delicious friends that I have known for years and I trust, I am happy to go out-ish and hang out. The issue is I moved. So for nearly 4 months I have had to BE and deal with shit that I hadn’t even thought would come up from other people and then on top it all to put myself out there and start making friends?  That felt really tricky and the sofa looked far more appealing. Why is it when your 5 it is so easy to make a friend at the playground and you don’t even need to know their full name, yet as an adult it’s far trickier which is interesting as we have “better” communication skills!

Anyhow, with this glorious year being a 3 year – thus one of Joy, Creativity and Renewal I committed to stretching and stretching my comfort zone. Why? Because it felt tight, mundane and to be honest – a tad limiting. So I committed to trying new things, exploring new places and really being present.  Good right? Then I got sick. (So snuggling in bed with ginger root tea and coming up with all sorts of excuses, reasons or just bullshit was quite delightful).  However, once I felt hale and hearty physically it was time to push the boundaries a tad. Okay, so what do I want to do (and for some of us that can be tricky as we can default to the “what do I think I should do”.)  Well, I have always wanted to take a drumming workshop, I have always wanted to explore if I can sing (as old tapes from my maternal advised me that was ridiculous and I had happily bought into that.) I would sing at home, I chant every morning, but to actually sing and have my voice heard by others would give me the screaming hebegebees!  

Guess what?  I started an African drumming course last week, I went Axe tossing (who knew it could be so fun) on the weekend and I also went to a vocal workshop called “Tune into Yourself and Find Your Voice”.  OMG! Amazing, amazing, amazing – all three. Yet it was fascinating to watch my ego “keeper” as I call her chirp up right before every event. “What are you doing?  Don’t you feel tired?  Why are we doing this, it’s dumb!  You won’t know anyone! You can’t drum, throw an axe, sing etc.  See the sofa? It’s raining. Where’s a good book?”  All that flooded up to the forefront and to be honest last Tuesday (first drumming class) I nearly bailed, but note the word nearly.  Last Tuesday I walked through the pouring rain for 3 km to show up dripping and soppy for an African drumming class and I had so much fun playing with my drum and really connecting with the other 30 people that were there and creating something that sounded really good!

On Friday I went and tossed axes galore (and apparently I’m a natural).  On Sunday I went to a vocal workshop where I found my voice, my voice to say what I needed to, to sing, to really belt my thoughts out, to meld my voice with others, to really tap all the way down to my root and again I had soooo much fun!  (Yet my delicious ego “keeper” was advising me to stay home, stay safe, stay small and have a nice cuppa!)

Now why am I sharing this with you?  Let me remind you, this a 3 year – Creativity, Joy, Renewal.  So let me ask – what have you wanted to at least try that you have been afraid of?  What would nudge you gently out of your comfort zone into something really cool? What would help you find your voice and your essence (and I know both of those are strong in you, or you wouldn’t be reading this).  

On top of stretching the comfort zone we have Imbolc coming up this Friday, on February 1st and what does this mean for you?  Imbolc is a Celtic festival celebrating the emerging life in the world around us.  It’s a time to really plant those delicious seeds, to harness the energy of the 3 year and to really, really commit to growing, expanding and playing.  Imbolc means “in the belly of the Mother” because that is where seeds are beginning to stir with Spring.  It is the festival of the Maiden, from this day to March 21st, it is her season to prepare for growth and renewal.  So what a perfect time to tap this glorious energy and overlay it over the amazing Eclipse energy we have (that is burbling for at least the next 5 – 6 months). 

Then, on top of all that we have a delicious New Moon coming next Monday on February 4th, again a delicious time to plant those seeds of intent, the ones that help you stretch the comfort zone, explore your creativity and really tap into Joy.  

If you are on the email list, on Thursday I will be sending out a more detailed explanation of Imbolc, Brigid (the Goddess) and some easy rituals.  But for now – can you feel the fertility that is approaching? It’s pulsing everywhere, flowers are starting to push up, leaves are gently welling up into buds, seeds will need to be planted.  Thus, imagine yourself like a glorious garden – what do you need to push the dross aside and stretch? To really bloom, expand and grow.

Okay, enough chuntering away (can tend to do that as there is so much I want to share with you).  When I went to the cards to ask who would like to be present this week “The Oracle of the Dragonfae” jumped up and down.  Now, if you are new to these gorgeous guides, let me give it to you in an acorn shell – “Feel their love.  Know your power….the Dragonfae are our flesh and soul kin, our friends, our guardians and our allies.  When we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life.”

Interestingly enough, when I asked which crystals wanted to come support, the rocks and the shells were adamant.  Which actually if you think about it makes sense. We live on the biggest crystal there is and so the rocks and shells are the bones of what we walk on.  They have been here thousands of years and hold the energy and the desires of all who have touched them and the mysteries.  Oh yes, and Rosemary (which is a glorious protection herb) and delicious flowers insisted on participating.  If you are at all worried they were discarded afterwards, let me assure you Rosemary went in a glorious soup and the flowers are in an egg cup.  

I invite you to take a moment, the longer the better, but even a minute of gifting  yourself stillness and breathe where the sides of your rib cage push out is all good.  Just breathe, and in your minds eye I invite you to see those wiggly, jiggly bits outside of your comfort zone that soooo want you to come play with them, but of course – you’ve been busy and it feels rather scary.  Breathe into what they are, give them life, acknowledge them and with them burbling and swooping in your minds eye ask yourself what’s stopping you. What fear, limiting belief or anything is limiting you playing with the wiggly, jiggly bits outside of your comfort zone.  Yes? Then when you’re ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

Shall we pick?

Fancy a look?

DRAGONFAE OF REBIRTH

We are the ones who have seen you in those moments you humans describe as dark – the ones you so often wish to run and hide from, the ones you fear because you misunderstand their purpose, the ones you shun.  Your loathing of your shadow has sometimes driven you to seek and ending. But a literal ending is not necessary. In every culture on this planet, old and new, there has been a ritual that lets you die to your old self, one in which the wise man or woman is guided through a journey to their own underworld.  We too know of this underworld, as we dwell there from time to time, and here we are now, in this underworld, waiting for you to descend in order to be reborn.

Fear not your “dark” moments.  For in the dark are the shadows, easeful rest and the deep knowledge of the heart and the soul.  In this place the seeds you need to plant can flourish and what you feel are dark and “bad” thoughts are in fact manifestations of the desire to die to the self that no longer feels its true self to be captured in its outside form.  

You are remaking your own soulself, and in this magick and ritual endarkenment lie the seeds of your reawakening and your own rebirth.  We are with you, circling you and clearing and cleansing your energy. There is no beginning and no end, just the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.  Now, it feels like death…but it is a death to the old self…not a literal death. Do not fear. You are about to be reborn. Take heart and know that soon you will feel whole again.  

THE MORRIGHAN

I see now that events are moving extremely fast; this is a time of rapid change and creation, so rapid that you may wish to slow down, just a little.  However I say to you clearly that the time to act is now; and that procrastination and hesitation are your enemies at this time. I can lead you forward through this time, and help you pick your way through the minefield before you.  This is a time of testing and darkness, but through this you will grow strong. Be aware! If you have resisted your abilities, or felt blocked in terms of following your life path, these changes will take place very rapidly because they have been waiting for a signal to be able to come in, and they are working hard with you so you do not have to endure a long, drawn-out process of change.  Truly, you are ready. Take flight with me, and know that taking your own path seriously and acting now with deep integrity, is the way for justice to reach you.

Do not give in to panic and do not run.  Now is the time. If not now, when?

You have already tortured yourself in a thousand ways with your thoughts.  You cannot avoid change; each day your cells renew, and all you have to do is breathe in and out for this process to take place.  You are confusing stasis with safety – there is nothing to fear, there is everything to gain. A turning point in your life demands action on your behalf, and backing down or avoidance is not the answer.  Draw strong boundaries and claim your space. Face trouble rather than turning away. Confront injustice and change the rules by which you have felt bound. Learn to work with your strength and your own ability to create deep change.  Lose fear of your own power. Let your courage feel inspired and know that destiny has given you an opportunity to be the courageous being of action that you truly are.

CHENGUANG

I am Dragonfae, thus I am at once a being of copious laughter, and of earnest and deep study.  Being Dragonfae, I know when to put aside my serious work and my mission, and play, laugh and love.  I know the importance of devoting myself to the playtime that balances, soothes and heals my heart, and lifts the heaviness that sometimes accompanies my days.  Can you do this? Or are you too caught up in being taken seriously? There is a perfect balance between serious, cosmic matters and playful light-heartedness to be found.  Both Earth and star are necessary for all of us. We are indeed galactic beings ourselves. But most of all, your hope and optimism is paramount right now. Take heart, for delight and joy is yours.  

You are about to experience a true reversal in your inner self:  you will now think magickally and attain mastery of magickal consciousness.  What you think, what you are manifests about you at all times: what you are now is the delicious light-hearted magickal being you were born to be.  You are like a beautiful shining star; its light magikally transforming everything it touches. Rays of light beam out from you and your body is awash with healing green energy and fresh new life.  You are dancing in the air, lifted up on the strength of your own experience and friendships, and you would do well to wear the divine colour violet, while the gentle zephyr helps your move in the direction of your dreams.

When we allow ourselves to shine we become who we were always meant to be; and by example we encourage others to become who they truly are. Drop the heavy nature of punishment, guilt and beliefs that no longer serve you. You are a powerful role model for others; you have experienced the joy of setting your sights high and the healing power of self-belief.  You still have many experiences ahead of you on your journey, but this energy of the star is now your companion and your divine inspiration.

Okay, I will say I use this deck a plethora of times – yet the only time The Morrighan or Chenguang come to play is in this public arena.  Thus, someone here is meant to hear the message again (are you listening)? I would also like to say thank you for your glorious emails and shares – I really appreciate and treasure them.  Wishing you wiggle room and expansion with your comfort zone and a glorious Imbolc. Remember to plant the seeds and nurture them. Huge hugs and squeezes and new green shoots!

Post Super Blood Wolf Moon, it’s Martin Luther King Day, and Imbolc is just around the corner!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Marvelous, Magnificent, Momentous, Magickal, Majestic, Mystical, Merry, Manifesting Monday!  How was last night’s eclipse for you? Remember this energy isn’t just for that one day, it will be burbling along for a couple of months (yes, I did say months).  So remember to continually come back to your intention and to watch where your thoughts go. If you find your mind wandering down the dark alleyway of fear and limiting beliefs, entice it back out into the open with a nice cuppa tea and a choccie biccie!  Yes? But let’s talk about the energy of this amazing time. The energy is charged and deliciously delightful, did you know this is the last total lunar eclipse until 2021? Also, that it was visible over most of North America and South America? This is big and the energy is amazing!   Many people are confused as to what a Super Moon, Blood Moon, Eclipse mean. So let’s have a look at that.

A Blood Moon is when there is a total lunar eclipse and the moon actually turns a blood red, it is quite amazing to see.  Super Moon means that the Moon is closer to earth than it ever normally is, thus much, much bigger in the night sky. Wolf Moon – this is the name given to the Full Moon in January as it was said that the wolves howled at the moon due to lack of food.  I personally prefer the Celtic story that says:-

“Lleuad Blaidd – Wolf Moon happens in “Faoilleach”, the old Gaelic/Irish winter month meaning “Month of the Wolf”.  The cold January Wolf Moon lights the path of the hunters, showing them the way. Intuitive and shadowy, the wolf is often connected with the moon and her cycles.  In Celtic mythology, the wolf is companion the fertile white Moon Goddess Cerridwen. Although often associate with war and destruction, the wolf is also linked to ancient mysteries of death and rebirth and guides to positive change.  In Gaelic wolf “Madadh Alluidh” or “Mac-Tire”, meaning “Earth’s son”. Fierce, shy, loyal and cunning the wolf communicates power and leadership to the pack through its eyes, voice and body language.

Now what does this all mean to you?

If you remember Eclipses intensify and bring things out of the shadows and up to the surface.  With this being a super moon and a full moon eclipse things can feel even more intensified.  Now this may linger around until July (to be honest) when we have a partial lunar eclipse. Passions and emotions are going to be heightened to say the least and this is most certainly the moon to work with to get back to your path and the things that bring you joy!  Now if you happen to be at a family dinner and Uncle Edward is a tad snappy and heightened (and no it’s not the red wine), let it go. Remember as a human body we are 60% water and a moon like this can move oceans all over the place, so think about your little cells, especially the fact that your brain and heart are 73% water!  Hello! I love what Lena Stevens shares:- “Despite the intensity, it is crucial that you focus on your personal truth regarding your intentions, dreams and desires. Don’t get derailed by drama that is not yours and make sure to be around people and in places that you love and feel inspired by. Any prayers during this time will be greatly supported so be generous with them.  What do you have a passion for? Embrace it and put forth your desire to explore it in the adventure that is your life. Include a little gratitude as well for all that you do have and all that is going well.

It is also a good time to focus prayers on how you wish to experience your world. Without judgment, blame or attachment to how it should look (in your opinion), imagine how it would feel everyday if you woke up feeling the inspiration, beauty and joy of a cooperative, compassionate and loving planet.  Put that prayer into your heart and project it like an arrow into the world. There are a lot of things in this world you cannot control, but your prayers are something you can. So pray your very best during this intense and powerful time, not only for yourself but for all your relations.

This is a good time for change, commitment, putting yourself first, expanding your growth, pushing beyond your comfort zone, thinking outside the box and dreaming big. Let’s set some good intentions and do it!”

Now if you weren’t able to see the Moon, nor celebrate it – don’t fret – there is still time, this Moon impacts energy for the next 6 months -ish.  So do your Full Moon release, set your intentions and really harness this energy for YOU!  Remember, this is a year of joy, renewal and creation, so the dust bunnies that hang out in your psyche need to go find a new home!  I personally grabbed a friend and we yomped down to the beach in the dark.  I cast a circle (the second one of this month), called in the directions and lit candles.  We then offered up pain, prayers, praise, passion and purpose as the moon went it’s glorious blood red, harnessing this intense energy for self, family, community and globally.  It was amazing!  What was also very cool was that quite a few people had gone down to the beach to watch, yet you couldn’t see them in the dark, you could just hear their murmurs mingled with the waves as they offered up their prayers.  Very powerful!  We then yomped back home and had huge mugs of hot tea as the temperature dropped 8 degrees!  I also had all my crystals outside for the night.

Today is Martin Luther King day and why do I bring that up?  If you think about it, he epitomises the energy of focusing on what was important to him, to his family, community and globally and he funneled his energy with laser focus towards making a difference.  Even though others said it could not be done, things couldn’t change. Yet he did and he focused on following what was important to him, he was passionate about to following his dream. If you remember he gave a speech in 1963 that is called the “I have a Dream” speech.  What amazing energy that really invites us all to take up a bigger space and to focus on our passions and how they can help, support, inspire and serve others.  Absolutely perfect at this amazing Eclipse time!

Can you feel the energy of renewal, creation and expansion?  The invitation to take up a bigger space? I most certainly can and when I saw cherry blossom and all the flowers popping up – I was like a Labrador puppy, absolutely wiggly with excitement!!!!  

Okay, when I went and asked the cards who would like to share, guide and support this week I giggled out loud when I saw it was The Oracle of Shadows and Light, how appropriate for Eclipse time!  Let me give you a brief intro to your gorgeous guides – “Lurking in the most ordinary places, behind the door, under the floorboards, in the pumpkin patch, and in the great underneath of our cities, dwell some very wise beings who whisper to us, but who we often can’t hear amid the noise of our everyday lives.  They will ask you to look at what you may have been afraid of. They will ask you to work with the whole of yourself, for in that way, you will become the unique and amazing individual you are.”

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to come and participate are:-  Black Moonstone – which enhances creativity and connects you to the divine feminine, Stilbite – used for psychic guidance and creativity,  and Moonstone – a healing crystal that manifests peace and harmony with the body and Spirit.  Interesting to see that feathers wanted to participate as well, as they are an element of Air, think about your breathe.  We inhale new and exhale old – food for thought…..

So delicious lovely please gift yourself a moment or two.  A moment or two to just Breathe and BE, this is a powerful release and intention time. Breathe that in. There is a delicious guided visualisation where we do some deconstructing to reconstruct something new, don’t fret – work boots aren’t mandatory.

When you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

 

Are you ready?

 

Shall we go have a little look see?

 

 

VOODOO IN BLUE

This fairy is letting you know that it’s time to back off from a person or situation that is not in your best interests….and that you may need to be brave and stop being so welcoming of what you actually do not want!  So, this blue fairy, waving her voodoo doll, is letting you know very clearly that you now must tell someone to take a step back. You know you have been overriding your instincts with what seems rational, with misguided desire to help and befriend someone who may not be particularly good for you.  

Voodoo in Blue doesn’t mind if she looks  bit nasty when she gives the back-off message:  she’d rather she was loud and clear and that the person pushing her buttons leaves quickly.  So, she wants you to start trusting your instincts. To start being honest above being “nice”.  

You do feel like you need to stay away from someone – and to tell that person clearly to stay away from you.  And Voodoo in Blue stepping forward to speak with you confirms that your hunches have been ever so right.

 

A CLOCKWORK PUMPKIN

Notice the bright bulb inside this Clockwork Pumpkin – you are about to have an amazing moment, a brilliant insight, and a very illuminating idea!  Action must be taken immediately, while the idea is fresh and new. No more procrastination – follow the ah moment with action, and watch amazing change in the form of abundance, creativity, and satisfaction take place in your life!

I may look a strange muse, a clockwork pumpkin accompanied by a beautiful girl, but have no doubt:  I am the new idea, the epiphany, the moment of clarity when the seeming chaos of life suddenly rearranges itself into a brilliant opportunity.  You are about to be presented with such a golden idea that I want you to be ready. It may come from within you, or it may come from outside of you, but you have drawn it to you with the power of attraction and manifestation, and it is an idea that will bring you great riches of the body, mind and spirit.  It is time to activate your own brilliant abilities and become the abundant, enriched being you were born to be!

We are so pleased to have found you – we have waited for exactly the right being to take on this idea and bring it to life within the world.  It has evolved out of time, out of space, and is perfect for you. It may be a song, a project, a new job, a relationship – its form is fluid, but its time is now, and you are the person chosen to bring it through.  Cosmic duty it may be, but joy and love it will bring, as well as abundance and true happiness!

 

ANGEL OF TIME

The Angel of Time looks very fierce and stern, and that’s because you need to hear her message.  You see, if she appeared to you in a soft guise, it would be too easy for you to overlook her message and just continue on as if she had never visited.  The truth is that you are forcing yourself beyond your energetic limits at this time – working too hard, self-loving and connecting with the Universe way too little.  

So, she has appeared to remind you of what it is you are turning your world into: one big machine, where you are one cog in it.  You are an important, soulful, beloved being, but the world of world of work is not going to end if you step away from its mechanism for a while.  “It is time,” she says, “for a time out!” Will you listen?

“I’m getting straight to the point here, because someone really has to tell you.  Stop giving so much to your work. All your time. Your energy. Your passion. Take better care of your health.  This is the time to fulfill all those promises you’ve made to yourself but barely made even the effort to keep. Meditate, eat well, take up gentle exercise, and change unhealthy emotional patterns that are compromising your well being – these are the challenges you need to set yourself.  I thank you in advance, for a happy you makes this world a far better place.!”

 

Well I don’t know about you sweetie.  But those are very clear messages and the absolutely perfect ones for this Eclipse time!  So wishing you a stupendous week filled with remembering that you are an incredible, amazing, powerful beastie.  So harness that energy and step into your life with bells on. “May you be Happy, May you be Safe, May you be Healthy, May you be at Ease.   Sending you huge hugs, squeezes, and cherry blossoms!

 

 

 

Solstice, Advent, Hope and Big Balls!

Jenny Heston · 8:00 am ·

Here we are delicious lovely, the second Monday of December!  So let me please wish you a Marvelous, Manifesting, Magnificent, Magickal, Miraculous, Mellow, Magnanimous Monday!  How was New Moon for you?

There is so much to talk about, private readings, upcoming Solstice, Hope, and Word of the Year!  Quite a few of you have contacted me with regards to putting 2018 to bed and setting up 2019 with clarity with a private reading.  Thus, I have opened up 10 spots, which will be the only ones available until January, and am offering a Solstice special, 10% of the readings will be donated to the homeless shelter here. So if you have been wanting to get a reading.  Now is the time! Also I’ve had quite a few inquiries about purchasing a private reading for someone else as a gift, most certainly! Just email me and we can get that organised.  

The other day I noticed a sign as I was driving back into town that was counting the days down to Xmas – it read something like “Only 14 more shopping days until Xmas.”  WTF! Really? That’s what Xmas is about, shopping? (Don’t get me wrong if you are a retailer this is one of your biggest seasons) but there was a huge Hmmm. That sign didn’t work for me and I was a tad grumpy that there was no sign that said “Only 11 days left to Solstice and then the days start getting longer!” ( Next week we will really explore Solstice and some easy, powerful ways to mark that most amazing time of year.)

Ah well, we each do it our own way, but I have noticed people getting more tense, shorter fused,  and most certainly not smiling as much or driving nearly as well, and that to me is not celebration, that feels like obligation.  This is a time of connection, this is a time of celebration and creating memories (as is every day in my world). A time of Hope, Love, Peace & Joy.  I don’t see much of that in the overflowing mall parking lots and the hard sell places.

Thus, I decided to explore different venues, so this last week I went and checked out the most amazing Gingerbread house display which is a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity (and if my kids ever ask me again to create a gingerbread house with them the pressure would be on! )  The houses were quite stupendous and very ornate. It made my heart warm to find out that various people had spent hours upon hours creating these masterpieces all to help Habitat for Humanity raise funds! To me that is most certainly the seasonal spirit in action.

The other day I took a wander through the various neighbourhoods nearby and it fascinated me that here people hang large Xmas ornaments and sparkly balls in the trees outside.  It’s really quite cool and very pretty. So I trundled off and found some funky balls at the thrift store, bedecked them with gorgeous white ribbon and hung them on the branches of the cherry tree outside.  As I was standing there thinking how lovely they looked I glanced down the street to see that some chap had put HUGE multi coloured Xmas balls in his tree! I have to say I experienced massive ball envy and the song that immediately came to mind was ACDC’s Big Balls.  Lol. (I wonder if he would notice if they migrated from his tree to mine in the middle of the night?)

Yesterday I lit the second candle in my lovely homemade Advent wreath – this is the candle of Hope and Love (it’s also the celebration of the light of plants – plants that reach up to the sun and in the breezes dance).  Now the word “Hope” has never been one of my favourite words as I find it is used far too much i.e. – I hope the kids do their chores, I hope I win the lottery, I hope the cat doesn’t cough a hairball on the clean laundry……….  So the word Hope always felt a bit banal to me, thus, I went exploring and reading and have to say I really like this definition, it is one I can get behind:-

“Hope is a feeling of trust, a security, and a reason to keep going. It is a passionate desire of our heart. It is a feeling of expectation and a longing for a certain thing to happen.” – Verity Russell

What do you Hope for?

One of the things I love about the energy of Solstice is the inward turning, the entering into the dark to bring your own light back out into the world. To me it feels like a very rejuvenating, restorative time.  It’s also about this time that I start thinking about my Word of the Year for 2019. Now if you’ve never explored or worked with WOTY I highly recommend it, and as we get closer to New Years I will share an easy way to pick it.  Basically your WOTY is the one word that you pick which becomes the touchstone, the North Star for every aspect of your life in 2019. It really helps you get clear on how you want to BE and how you want to FEEL during the year in all your experiences.  For 2018 my word was DELIGHT, I’m still perking what my word for 2019 will be, there’s no rush so I’m just going to let it burble as the days get shorter and shorter. Speaking of shorter, I noticed yesterday that we are down to 8 hours and 23 minutes of light and the rest is that warm dark that invites us to reflect and plan.  

Okay, I’ve chuntered on long enough, lol.  Let’s crack on with the reading! When I asked the cards who wanted to guide this week it was no surprise to me that The Faery Forest Oracle came bounding to the forefront as yesterday I went wandering in the woods gathering cedar boughs to make garlands to bedeck the house with.  Now, if you’ve never experienced this deck before, the dedication for this deck is as follows:- “May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.“ The glorious little peacock feathers that I found last week were most insistent to show off their iridescent colours and the crystals that came to join are:- Bloodstone, Sodalite and Chrysocolla.

So delicious lovely I invite you to gift yourself a moment to get centred and become present.  Gently slow your breathing down and let the word Hope vibrate through you as you breathe (there is a lovely little guided visualisation if you would like a bit more support).  When you feel ready invite the card or cards to tell you which ones are for you this week.

Ready to go have a look?

THE WILD HUNT

There is, for all of us, a moment when excitement and nerves fuse, when we prepare to journey and do something we have anticipated for a long time.  In the faery realm, this sensation is created by adventure known as the Wild Hunt. This is a gathering which takes place not only within the realm of faery, it is one where the faery king and queen lead faery hounds and faery horses on a hunt throughout the countryside, dipping into and out of the faery lands, surfacing in the human worlds from time to time, cleansing toxic energy, allowing natural forces to begin to flow through the cleared energy paths, awakening the wild world to brightest life once again, and leaving a trail of ecstasy and bliss after the frenzied storm of their ride.

The Wild Hunt is fierce, powerful, a little frightening, and thoroughly thrilling – and this faery queen is preparing herself for the joys and challenges of this great springtime event.  So too you need to prepare yourself for some chaos – a wild time, when change tears through and upends all the order you have attached yourself to. You may need to pack, travel, find ways to move quickly, stop planning and organising for a moment and just go on an immensely enjoyable ride of your life.

The time coming for you is delirious in its excitement, and you fear this loss of control and order.  But truly, it will refresh you, just as it sears the very edges of your nerves! Dress up, show up, and prepare to be amazed!  Take a deep breath, find your voice, and begin to cry out at the top of your lungs. You are alive my friend, and will feel so more than ever before when the wild hunt touches your life!

THE GREEN WITCH

When you are pure of heart, the whole world is full of potential.  And this is the message from this innocent Green Witch to you. She is green as in the fresh new shoot from the seed pushing urgently towards the sun.  She is green and connected to the earth, flowing with the cycles of Nature. She is green in that she looks as much to the natural world for company, friendship, and fulfillment as you currently do to fellow humans.

She is your reminder to begin to reconnect to the wild green world, to the faery forests all about you – to go back to a place where you empty yourself of expectations and stories and knowledge and just admit that in some circumstances and at some times, you are as a babe.  You are newborn, and in that moment of unknowing-ness, and of admitting and embracing your own powers of renewal, you can finally learn what it is you are here to learn.

Be not so certain, or so experienced when The Green Witch comes to you.  Be new. Be fresh. Be unwise, be unknowing. Be innocent. And then the new cycle can truly begin.

THE HEDGEWITCH

You are being asked to consider herbal forms of healing – working with what is in-between, effective and yet natural, available to and yet still hardly acknowledged.  Changing the foods you eat to include more greens and herbs to boost energy and health, and begin to pay very serious attention to the quality of the foods you eat – again, with a very close focus on the world of herbs and plants.  

You can at this time adjust the way you eat and find essential oil blends which assist with sleeping, with becoming calm, with dissipating anger, increasing self-love and deepening your wisdom.  Explore growing your own flowers, vegetables and herbs.

When you begin to consider the truth that why you ingest becomes the very molecules of your body, and you may decide at this time to reduce additives, sugar, GMOs, and various forms of meat, too.  You now begin a journey into health and well being, and eat what is good and wholesome for you. The Hedgewitch is the messenger guiding you to this path of nourishment and well being through the plant world.  Nurture and nourish yourself so that you continue to grow and glow.

Well delicious lovely, that was quite a Divine reading!  What with the invitation to be alive, to renewal, to nourishing – all things that are very much the energy of the approaching Solstice!  Whoot! So sweetie, wishing you a stupendous week filled with large sparkly balls, hope and laughter and do remember with the approaching holiday season to practice self care and take some time to replenish and refuel yourself!  Don’t forget if you want to book a private reading, there are only 10 spots left until 2019. See you next week! Huge hugs and Gingerbread kisses!!

Happy Beltane my loves. Beltane is one of the fo Happy Beltane my loves. 

Beltane is one of the four great fire festivals and was traditionally a celebration of life, the first signs of summer, the fertility of the land and people, and the promise of the light and growth to come.

Beltane is translated as bright fire, and communities would build fires to symbolise the growing power of the sun and to purify, cleanse and renew after the dark months of winter.

This is a time of fertility and growth,love and joy, sexuality and sensuality, the coming together of the masculine and feminine creative energies in all of us and, most of all, abundance and happiness.

Flowers are everywhere, the earth is lush and green, and there
is a sense that Nature is virile, fertile and celebrating being alive.

We too will feel this same alive, fertile energy within us, calling us to allow ourselves and our dreams to grow into all that they can become.

May 1st 2025 🌸

Beltane is the Celtic festival of fire and fertility, celebrated this year on May 1st. It marks the height of spring and the threshold of summer—a time when the Earth is fully alive, vibrant, and brimming with passion. The days grow longer, the sun stronger, and the world hums with the fierce joy of growth and creation.

Beltane honours the union of Earth and Sky, the sacred marriage that brings forth abundance and life. The goddess and god dance together through the fields and forests, weaving blossoms into the land and awakening the fires within all living things. Bonfires blaze in their honour, and ribbons fly from the maypole as a prayer for blessing, vitality, and fertile dreams.

The fires are lit. The Earth is ablaze with life. 🥰🌸

It’s the last Monday of April! How are you fee It’s the last Monday of April! 

How are you feeling?  There has been a lot energetically and globally to hold. 

We are in Taurus season, the bull, which invites a slow down and a dropping into that feeling of worthiness. 

Can you do that?  Slow down and really embrace yourself where you are right now?

On Thursday we celebrate Beltane!

A glorious fire festival that dances in you, around you and with you to help you remember the pleasures of life. 

There’s a glorious Beltane Booklet for you, 5 questions to ask yourself at Beltane.  All sorts or magick, as the veil is thin and the Fae want to play and chat.

There’s a moment—a quiet, powerful shift—whe There’s a moment—a quiet, powerful shift—when a woman stops waiting for validation and starts living for herself. It’s not loud. It’s not dramatic. But it’s life-changing. 

She no longer explains her choices, dims her light, or tiptoes around expectations. She walks in her truth, fully and unapologetically. That moment? 

It’s freedom. It’s the deep knowing that she is enough, her dreams are valid, and her life is hers to shape. 

No more asking for permission. No more shrinking to fit spaces never meant for her. Just existing in her power, her purpose, and her joy. And when you see a woman living like that—really living—it’s the most beautiful thing in the world. Sis, if you’re not there yet, know this: it’s coming. And when it does, you’ll never look back. ✨🔥
