It’s almost Solstice! June 12th Weekly Reading

Happy, happy fantabulous Monday! It is wonderful to see you here! How was your week? Did you play with the full moon energy that happened last week? Are you enjoying sunshine, the smell of flowers and reveling in the abundance that is blooming forth?

Energy is starting to ramp up here as we head towards Summer Solstice and just prior to that – high school graduation. My lovely son (4th out of 5 kids) is graduating high school this coming weekend, so last Friday his suit had been altered and we had to go check it out. It made me laugh a tad as I watched this “child” of mine in track pants and a t-shirt enter the dressing room, to hear requests for help with all the buttons, to then watch him step out in a lovely suit, pink vest and pink bowtie. Hang on, my kid went in the changing room and a strapping young man dressed to the nines came out! (I had to go look inside and make sure it wasn’t a magic portal or like the Tardis in Dr. Who!).

Grad here is a huge performance and I will be honest, I don’t totally understand it and from a lot of the kids that are graduating there is an apathy about certain parts. However, it seems to be that we need to re-enact the graduation of people from 30 years ago with Cap and Gown on Friday night, then a Grand March on Saturday, followed by a Cavalcade through town, then off to their Prom and an After Party that follows that! Phew! It isn’t quite what I would pick as a rite of passage or a celebration by any stretch, but it is tough trying to chivvy against conservative traditions to say the least. Thus, we are going with the flow and it will all be wonderful (touch wood).

The cards that came tumbling out to help this week are the Wild Kuan Yin Oracle, so yummy delicious and very strong and clear. The crystals that insisted on their place this week are Sodalite, Sardonyx and Red Snowflake Obsidian, quite an interesting mix to say the least. So let’s see what’s in store for this week. Take a few moments to get clear and present, and if you feel inclined ask a question, pose a situation, emotion, thought that you would like some support with. If you feel like a bit of support with getting deliciously centred there is a fun little visualisation for you.

So trust yourself and pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Ready to go have a little look see?

BLESSING OF THE KITE DANCER

I recognise immense potential and talent within you, beyond what you can see for yourself. I know that you are willing to develop into all that you are, and so I shall become your divine mentor. I will encourage and guide you, as you manifest your potential, develop and express your talents and fulfill your divine destiny. Sometimes I will evoke the best in you through opportunity, sometimes I will coax forth the best in you through challenge. What you can be assured of is success on this path of self-development. Life has offered you much natural ability and talent. I will help you discover and develop it so that you can offer it back to life as a gift of gratitude.

You have been gifted with a talent, an ability. You may or may not be aware of this talent. It may be an ability to write, draw, paint, dance, or a myriad of others. Or it may be a more unusual and rare gift of being able to organise and rally people together for events with purpose and to motivate others to do their best. Or perhaps you have some other sort of talent that is hard to articulate, define or pin down, but is real nonetheless. If you have no idea what talent lies within, then this gorgeous oracle indicates a process of discovery for you as well as personal development. All you need to do is attend to your spiritual path and personal growth and all else will unfold as it needs to, whether you understand it at the time or not.

This is not a slight ability that may be fun for a while to explore, it is a genuine talent that needs to be developed for a life path to be successful. Taking this particular journey, discovering, exploring and developing this particular ability, will bring you into a sense of your calling, into a deep sense of spiritual satisfaction. If you are feeling pressured by other commitments, even by family members or social networks, to step away from your personal work, spiritual path and commitment to your inner journey. There is work you are doing that will be of benefit to the larger human collective. That sort of contribution takes commitment and you are not selfish in honouring that commitment. No matter how ordinary you may feel at times – you are special! You are unique, you have value. Learning to live truthfully as yourself, and being that self in the world, is a way to honour the life that you have been given.

Love yourself as the Divine Mother does, with great generosity and affection. You deserve no less.

GRANDMOTHER ENSURES SAFE CROSSING

You have a journey ahead of you. There is a particular path that you are meant to take, so that you shall be in the right place at the right time, to encounter the experiences that you are meant to have and the people that you are meant to meet. This journey will lead you across the water, far away from what you have known. To bear the crossing of the water, you must lose sight of the shore. It is part of your destiny, your sacred life path, to take this journey. So although you may feel excitement or fear, hope or uncertainty about whether you are up to the task, know that it is meant for you and Grandmother shall watch over you. She shall give you means for the journey and ensure that the crossing of the water is safely undertaken. Be light of heart, beloved, even as you may mourn what is left behind, for this journey is divinely blessed and will bring great success.

There are times in life when we must cross the water if we are to grow rather than wither and retract. To grow requires courage but offers the reward of radiance and fulfillment beyond what we have experienced. To cross the water implies more than simply taking a trip, it refers to a more life-changing experience of committing to and taking a journey. A journey is not only an external experience, it is an internal adventure too. Such an adventure offers us opportunities to mature – to open our minds, to become wiser, more tolerant, more curious and less certain of how life should be. We can experience ourselves in different ways. It can be uncomfortable but exciting, certainly it will involve venturing into the unknown. You may have to leave behind support systems in many senses and become more reliant upon yourself and the inner guidance or your heart. But don’t fret, the Divine Mother will provide the necessary tour guide or person with greater experience to help you along your journey. The crossings of water could be physical or it could be where you leave behind a state of being or consciousness in favour of another.

Do not imagine that where you find yourself is to be your resting place. There is more for you in your life, further adventure awaits you. There will be a sense that every life lesson you have struggled through and mastered will have bearing and offer support to navigate the journey you are taking now or will soon embark upon. The sanctuary, guidance and protection of the Holy Grandmother is with you to ensure the success of your journey. Grandmother watches over the weaving of past,, present and future. She understands that what happens now is the planting and fertilising of the soul seed which will come to blossom more fully in accordance with your divine life purpose. She will nudge you when you need to be nudged, comfort you when you become uncertain, and provide the means for you to take step after step towards your destination. You are being asked to grow, but the success will be there if you are willing to take this journey.

TENDER TRUST, BELOVED BODY

I have so much that I want for you. I want you to experience all that life has to offer. I want you to see your dreams coming alive in the world. I want you to feel at home here upon the earth, and to realise you have come here not only to serve, but to take delight, to become alive, to exercise your power of choice to manifest a destiny that is brilliant and beautiful and perfectly suited to you. So I have given you a sacred animal, a devoted body that has offered its entire life in service to your soul growth. This is a precious gift and one worthy of respect. When you love this sacred animal, and let him or her love you in return, your body and soul become as one, a divine wild love child of life. Only then are you able to experience all that I can offer you and to manifest your divine destiny as a radiant, vibrant expression in the world.

Be present to recognise and receive the gifts and opportunities that are rightfully yours. Take time to be open and connected to your physical body and the physical reality you can experience through being connected to your body. Look around you. Feel what is happening within you and around you too. Notice what is being offered to you and if it feels right, say yes. Receive. It may seem challenging at first – perhaps even scary – to be so present, so open to life in its entirety. You may not be certain you will always take pleasure in what comes your way. You are at a point on your journey where something in the spiritual realm wants to come to life in the physical world. There is an inspiration, idea or plan that is ready to take form, to take shape, to become more than a fantasy and become a living reality.

For this to happen, you need the birthing container of your body. Your body is like a holy instrument through which the sacred breath can flow and create sound. It is the vehicle through which the inspiration can become a manifest reality. It is the time to experience more heaven upon the earth. It is time for your spiritual life to become more physically-oriented, for dreams to translate into reality, and for you to experience the Divine not only in the spiritual energies but also through experience of your body and the world of nature. It’s time to heal the relationship between you and your body so you dreams can manifest more often and with greater pleasure on your part. There is no point in the body having great wisdom and power to heal itself if you don’t give it a chance to use that power for repair, then growth, then glorious manifestation!

Well that was certainly fabulous, as we went from talent/gift, to personal journey to integrating it into the body! I love the cards, I frigging love them (have I said I love them?) So delicious one I wish a week filled of ease, effortlessness and flow for you and that you take some time every day to feel your feet on the earth, your heart beaming out love and your arms reached up and high to receive all the gifts that are just waiting for you! As I mentioned prior, with Grad this weekend and tons of family here, there will NOT be a reading on Monday – HOWEVER – as it is Summer Solstice next week, we are going to have some fun and do a reading on the Solstice, so expect to see it on Wednesday. If there is anything in particular you want put into the Solstice fire just drop me a line and I will happily bring it in. Huge hugs and slobbery kisses and see you on the Solstice!

Oh My Gosh it’s June! Weekly Reading June 5th.

Jenny Heston · 2:46 pm ·

Hello delicious one, Happy Monday and Holy hannah honey, it is already June! Gulp! This year feels like it is flying by, don’t get me wrong, I am exceptionally grateful we have sun, flowers are coming up and the whole garden is planted – which means glorious veggies soon and fun. But wow, we are nearly at Summer Solstice – almost half the way through the year. So I have to ask, (as this was asked of me) are you where you wanted to be by this time? Now this could be emotionally, spiritually, financially, physically, mentally or on a relationship basis, and if not, why not? When this was asked of me I had to sit and ponder a tad, for the most part I am where I wanted to be, sure there are a few things to tweak, but that’s normal as far as I am concerned. Yes? But I do feel it’s good to keep checking in with one’s goals, dreams and aspirations as often they can get waylaid by the busyness of life.

With June 1st appearing last week I realised that I have an inculcated habit of saying “white rabbits, white rabbits” every first of the month. This was something from childhood that seemed to stick, so I went and looked up why one does that. Apparently it is an old superstition that one say “white rabbits” as the first words on the first of the month and it promises a month of abundance, joy and keeps the weebly, wobbly things away. So to be honest, I still do it – isn’t it amazing how superstitions or rituals can stick with us? Is there something that you do that has stuck from childhood? (Eating ice cream doesn’t count!)

Okay darling one, let’s crack on with the reading. This week Sacred Rebels bounced up and down to come play, thus, they did. The crystals are Emerald, Brecciated Jasper and Pyrite.

So you ready? Take a moment, take a glorious deep breath in and tap into your intuition, your wise self and your inner guide. Invite love to flood through you bringing with it a willingness to receive and a clarity to learn and listen. When you have taken a few deep breaths pick the card or cards that are calling to you this week. So breathe and pick.

Shall we go have a little look see?

TRUST YOURSELF

You are wise. You know how to grow, even without knowing how you know. Like the ancient forests, spectacular galaxies and the acorn that becomes the oak, there is a natural intelligence for growth that is beyond logic and reason. It just happens.

You are growing. You really are. Don’t doubt it. Even if you don’t see it yet, remember that so much is happening when the seed is still unbroken in the ground. Below the earth, it is summoning up all the might, power and force it needs to push above the topsoil and burst up into the light. You are being asked to trust in yourself. You know how to grow. Don’t over think things, it won’t help you. Don’t worry so much, you are doing a great job in this game of life. When you trust yourself, you relax and you can heed your own wisdom, insight and messages much more clearly and easily.

You have a big destiny this lifetime and much to experience. Sometimes you make the error of judging something that is unpleasant as negative or a mistake. It isn’t. It’s just part of your great hunger for experience. It doesn’t mean you have to have a lot of it, but when you do, don’t shame yourself for it. Simply, let it be. Maybe it’s just fertiliser for your next step on the path! It’s all part of your life process and it’s all a sign of growth.

RELEASE THE DARK WOUND, LET LOVE LIVE

If we detach something from its source too soon, trying to force it to become what it is not yet ready or willing to become, we can unintentionally sap it of its strength and kill it.

There is a dark wound in the consciousness of humanity which demands perfection and denies process. If you have decided you are not good enough or worthy enough to succeed before you’ve given it everything you’ve got and asked for divine help, then this dark wound has you in its grasp. Let go of the death-grip of perfectionism and let yourself and your ideas live.

Love is abundant, creative and inspiring. It moves us so much more joyously and creatively than fear. Release the dark wounding of false belief. There are so many stories of vastly successful artists who very nearly binned the project that was the making of them and their career, because of the despair fostered by their own fear, anxiety and dark would. They doubted, they were uncertain. Was their work any good? They nearly lost it all to fear. Do not let this happen to you. It must be allowed to be what it is, and only time, love, patience and attention will reveal it.

COLLABORATIVE DREAMING

Your heart is big enough to dream not only for yourself, but for a new humanity. Imagine a world that is healed with respect, understanding and with community that fosters life. Even your dreams that relate to you alone will contribute positively to the greater good because that is the nature of your heart. Your heart naturally and intelligently co-operates in a grand scheme of loving creativity, working to heal the hearts of the world. The heart creates win-win situations that benefit the individual and the collective.

You are being asked to honour your growing desire to co-create with conscious, like-minded people. Your collaborative dreaming is a heart-inspired win-win, bringing mutual enhancement to yourself and others. Bear the rough patches that can happen when you work creatively with others. Ideas might clash and there can be friction, particularly if you have different ways of working.

Stay in your integrity, honour what you feel and remember why you chose to open up to group endeavours in the first place – especially if the group involvement becomes complex or challenging. Call on unconditional love each day and evening, it takes only a moment to do. Remember to hear your own voice. Others may or may not be able to receive it. When you hear your own voice you will be able to connect with your heart truths. You will know when it is right to remain in a group of when you need to withdraw in order to work with others who resonate at a more appropriate vibration and perhaps more in harmony with your own. You are no longer a lone wolf. Others are on the way to help you. There is only so much a single drop of water can do on its own, though it is precious. Together those drops can become a wave and make a considerable impact in the world.

I love how the cards unfolded this week, Trust, Love and Collaborate. Yummers! On that note delicious one, I wish you a glorious week. Remember it’s the Full Moon on Friday, June 9th. In fact this is a delicious Strawberry Mini Moon and a full moon in Sagittarius, but I will write more about that later this week. Have fun this week, practice looking for Joy and being open to receiving Miracles. I look forward to seeing you next Monday!

Post Mother’s Day and May 15th Weekly Reading.

Jenny Heston · 2:06 pm ·

Happy happy Monday! How was your week? Did you work with the Scorpio Full Moon energy and forgive, release and set your gratitude? It was Mother’s Day yesterday and I have to say, my kids get me (thank goodness!) I’m not about the big gifts, brunches etc. I’m all about time and thought. So bless their cotton soxs I was gorgeously gifted with a Nebuliser (which I use all the time and my last one broke), a pitch fork and a new Oracle Deck, as well as a fully cleaned house, dinner made and a Black Forest Cake made (nom, nom, nom). So I got to do exactly what I wanted all day – which was garden (even in the rain and the torrential hail storm). To me playing in the dirt and planting things, or building arbours for plants to climb up is pure therapy. Even though it means filthy finger nails – but as my Great Auntie used to say “You’ll eat a peck of dirt before you die!”..

During the winter I had put bird seed out (mainly the crows ate it) and lo and behold, all those sunflower seeds that they kicked off the feeding platform have turned into huge fat sunflower sprouts. So I moved them and I’m making a point this year of having about 50 sunflowers as they make me smile with their big bobbly heads that follow the sun. What’s one of your favourite flowers?

So with big sunflower energy, let’s crack on with the reading.

I invite you to take a moment, just breathe and feel your toes and your fingertips. Breathe to your belly and let it inflate like a glorious Buddha belly and as you exhale pull your abdomen into your spine. If you want to come play with some dirt and flowers as a visualisation. There is one here for you to help you get present.

Always, always, trust yourself and the guidance that loves you, then – pick a card or cards and let’s go see your message.

Ready?

FREE FROM JUDGEMENT, FREE TO LOVE

Imagine a world so infused with bliss, love and wonder that you naturally and always feel as safe as a nourished, cherished baby in the arms of the universal mother. Life mothers us, with kindness, and sometimes when we need it to grow, through challenge as well. Accepting this mothering – in its gentle and fierce faces – can be difficult at times.

You are learning about mothering and being mothered. You are amongst the universal mother’s special clan of nurturing spirits that help to honour life on this planet. You are also being asked to open up to receive more nurturing. You can do this for yourself. You can also choose to open up and allow others to nurture you. It might make you feel a little vulnerable at first, especially if you are not used to doing this, but you don’t have to worry. You will get used to valuing yourself enough to know that needing love and affection from another is an opportunity, not only for you to receive, but for someone else to give, which involves them being received too.

If you have been asking life for a solution to a specific difficulty you have been having, the message is the solution is in gestation right now. The situation is already being sorted out and the resolution will come to fruition very soon. Hold tight and wait for the imminent birth of that resolution.

SOFTLY, SOFTLY, THE TENDER TOUCH

The feminine wisdom of gentleness can assist you now. When we are at a point in life where we want to attain greater things, but don’t necessarily have a proportionally greater supply of energy at our disposal, it is time to work smarter rather than harder. This is the way of feminine wisdom.

The feminine way is not about force. Nor is it about driving, striving, pushing or grabbing at what we can in order to create. It is about inviting what we wish for to come into the space we have provided for it – internally and in our lives. This method cultivates more energy, causes less stress and attracts what is desired. It is manifestation by invitation rather than by will or force.

You don’t need to push quite so hard to receive what is naturally coming to you. Your “push” comes from a place of uncertainty over whether or not you will succeed. You need to relax and have more faith in yourself. All things come in time – rightly and according to a great loving wisdom. Rebel against any voice of fear; within you or around you, that tells you otherwise. You have been working very, very hard. You have learned much and accomplished much but it now time to change your approach. Let go of any force in your approach to creation now. Everything serves a purpose and learning the benefits and limitations of the more forceful way of manifestation through effort and willpower was a useful lesson. You are now beginning to create on a far grander scale that is beyond what an individual can manifest through willpower alone.

WHAT DO YOU FEEL?

There are many opinions around you. Some are helpful but others are distracting you from your truth. Although it can be helpful to hear the thoughts of others, when it all comes down to it, you will have to come to your own decision. Do you know how unique you are? How your path is your path to be chosen, lived and created – only by you? Someone else cannot become the source of your decision-making power without negative repercussions for both of you in the long run.

This message comes to you because you have become swept up in thinking things through. You have been thinking about which way to go with a matter of importance and you have got a bit stuck in the logic of the decision making process. Sometimes we have to accept that any path is a path forward and if it is not the best path, we can change our approach later on if needed. We don’t have to be perfect.

Don’t traumatise or punish yourself with possible choices. Just making a choice will set things in motion. The best way to catalyse the situation you are in and bring about healing change, stimulate your creative juices and find a more inspired, energised and enjoyable approach to your life, is to just make a choice based on what you feel right now. Not based on anyone else’s feelings. So spend time with your own feelings and know that all is going to work out perfectly.

Wishing you a glorious week filled with mild spring showers and massively gorgeous flowers! Remember to take time for yourself to replenish and nurture your body, mind and soul. Oh yes, and drink water! See you next week.

Pre Scorpio Full Moon and Weekly Reading for May 8th!

Jenny Heston · 3:08 pm ·

Happy, happy, happy glorious Monday delicious lovely! How are you? How has your week been? Mine has been an interesting week of feeling feelings deeply and introspection. My eldest male child moved last Monday, and as much as I am aware this is what one’s kids are meant to do, I still cried lots and my heart was sore as he is such a delight to be around. But, I know this is part of his journey and it is also part of my path to gently release these gorgeous beings out into the world. But holy hannah! I would like to say, that prior to giving birth the Universe should hand you a manual as to what you are going to learn with your kids and how your lives are entwined and then – poof! Off they go.

So that scenario caused lots of feelings to flood up, lots of tears and lots of looking at change. Shortly after – Joy of Joys, I lost my voice and came down with some lovely bug! Have to say that causes great introspection when you realise that you can’t speak up and say what you need to, or ask for what you want (it also causes bank tellers to look at you very strangely when you are leaning in whispering at them!) So it has been a most interesting week, thank goodness it is a glorious Scorpio Full Moon on Wednesday which is a great time to look at where your focus has been, having you been living out of Joy or Fear etc and then release that shit!

The cards that desperately wanted to come play with us this week are the wonderful Wild Kuan Yin Oracle. This deck is fabulous for those of us wild ones, those with a spirit that longs to be free and a heart that must love with great passion – those who yearn to bring beautiful visions to life. Which is you my delicious lovely! The crystals that literally popped out of their basket are Rose Quartz, Amethyst and a gorgeous Clear Crystal Geode. So all crystals pertaining to love, clarity, strength etc.

With all that being said, let’s go see who wants to come work with you this week. Take a glorious deep breath in and drop into your belly. Breathe long and slow and invite your inner willingness, your inner knowing to come guide and play with you. There is a soothing visualisation should you feel so inclined, where we go for an explore in your Abundance Jungle.

Trust yourself, breathe and pick the card or cards that are calling to you this week.

HER JOY RENDERS THE IMPOSSIBLE TASK POSSIBLE

There is something you are meant to do. You’ve been growing towards it your entire life. All your life circumstances, lessons and situations have been teaching you valuable skills and wisdom so that you are equipped for the tasks demanded by your divine destiny. You may know clearly what those tasks are, or they may as yet be a mystery to you. You may not be a big picture person, preferring to focus simply on accomplishing the many smaller tasks before you each day. However, all those smaller tasks have prepared you for a bigger journey of passion and purpose.

For you to take this next step, whether it feels like the leap that will launch your destiny into an entirely new level of manifestation, or whether it just feels like the next step on your journey, you are being guided. You must let go of doubt, fear, hesitation, judgement and control. Now that is no small task! You must allow Joy to be your safety net, your attitude, the feeling by which you are guided and the basis for your decisions. Bliss, happiness, joy – these are high frequency, high states of being which cannot be contrived and yet, are not dependent on our life circumstances. To learn to feel joy in our hearts, without having to have a particular reason for it, is the beginning of access to great spiritual power. Come into your heart and in that journey, we discover a kind of freedom of spirit, a place within where joy can happen; spontaneous and unbridled.

You are being called to that place. It is simple but profoundly high in frequency. The Divine can work very easily with a human being in that state because nothing is resisted. There is no coaxing or cajoling, analysis or procrastination, over-thinking or fearful acting out that drains energy and slows down the manifestation process. There is just presence, and life can happen with utter immediacy. There is nothing that is impossible. Approach your decisions from a place of joy. Remain open in your heart and mind, and the Divine Mother shall orchestrate this offering according to the perfection of her joyful grace. Trust, play and reach for Joy!

SURRENDER SENSITIVE SISTER, BE MOVED BY THE MOON

You know what you know. Even when you don’t know how you know! I speak to you through that knowing. The intuition that is beyond logic. The feeling that has no physical proof as yet. The instinct to keep going, to trust yourself and take the journey before you. Be open and truthful with all that you feel and resist nothing. It shall then simply flow, changing like the phases of the moon, naturally and without effort on your part.

Something is happening. You cannot see it, but in your most sensitive and responsive moments you feel it. You are asked to explore your particular way of sensing energy. Don’t discount what you feel. Recognise, honour and be moved by it. You are gifted with an ability to feel what is before the conscious mind of others recognise it – a gift for perceiving what is going to be because you feel it in your bones. It matters not whether another sees or feels as you do. You are meant to be moved by the moon. It is part of your nature. Don’t try to toughen up or protect yourself, or become less sensitive, less emotionally-attuned or less moved by energy and feeling. This can become your greatest asset, a source of wisdom, truth and even strength. Do not be hesitant to embrace your gifts. You shall find a way to work with them so you are not compromised or depleted.

If you have been feeling something – a choice, a need to express a feeling, the need to pursue a course of action – that seems entirely at odds with your rational mind – trust in and explore the impulses from within. Always call on the guidance that loves you unconditionally and then follow your feelings as they guide you along your divine life path with intelligent grace.

GRANDMOTHER DRAGONFLY HOLDS THE WISDOM

Sometimes there is benefit in focusing on the new, seeking out untried paths, developing untapped resources and exploring possibilities. The intoxication of hope, inspiration and optimism combined can be hard to resist. However, if fear, boredom or lack of commitment is beneath the quest for new adventures, if we are believing that what we need or want is always just beyond, we may be dissuaded from applying ourselves to the worth tasks before us right now. If we are an imaginative and visionary type of personality, we may rebel against the mundane tasks of applying ourselves daily to bring an idea to life. However, if we were to stop and look clearly at what we already have in our lives, we could realise that there is much of value waiting to be put to use.

Do not step away from what you are cultivating, even if it seems to have lost its steam, run out of energy or be utterly dead in the water! There is something within what you have been working on that is going to yield something of great benefit. There will be much more success, prosperity, happiness and maturing of your ultimate life goals and journey in tending to what is already further along in development than in something new. Grandmother Dragonfly offers you vision that is wide and unlimited by preconceptions.

You may need to look differently at what you have nurtured and how to tap into what it has become to be able to share it with others and allow its sustaining grace to nourish human life in its own way. You will help people in many and varied ways. It is all a part of your natural development and you can trust in it. There is no need for you to ever be impatient or doubting of this.

Wishing you a fantabulous week filled with the willingness to tap into Joy and look at things through a Love Lens (as I say). May there be peace and love in your heart, a jungle of abundance that you can drop into any time you like – and of course, huge, huge big belly laughs! (Totally kicks up the Joy meter and is also a fun workout for your core!)

Beltane and Mayday reading! May 1st Weekly Reading.

Jenny Heston · 2:27 pm ·

Happy glorious May Day and Beltane! Yes, it is May 1st and the celebration of Beltane.

What is Beltane you might ask – ahhhh grasshopper let me explain.

Beltane was thought to be one of the more important festivals of the Gaelic calendar. Beltane celebrates the height of Spring and the flowering of life. The Goddess manifests as the May Queen and Flora. The God emerges as the May King and Jack in the Green. The danced Maypole represents Their unity, with the pole itself being the God and the ribbons that encompass it, the Goddess. Colors are the Rainbow spectrum. Beltane is a festival of flowers, fertility, sensuality, and delight. If you have never seen a proper Maypole dance done, I highly recommend it. It is normally danced by girls with flowers woven into their hair and as they dance they weave in and out and through whilst holding onto their gorgeous ribbon. It’s moving artistry and glorious fun! The Beltane fires of yore were a time of revelry, pairing and celebrating fertility (there were lots of babies born 9 months after the celebrations!)

Cattle would be led between two fires for protection and to encourage a strong, fertile herd. People believed the smoke and the ashes from the Beltane fires offered protection and fertility. Holy wells were visited and feasts were had. Sounds like quite a jolly time all in all to me!

So with the thought of Spring and flowers in your mind, let’s crack on with this week’s reading and see who wants to come work with you this week. There is a fun little visualisation to help you with getting centred and present, should you feel so inclined. If not, I invite you to pause for a moment or two and breathe down to the tips of your toes and breathe in the glorious clear, clean and fresh Spring energy and exhale out any stale, stagnant or blaugh energy.

Trust yourself and pick the card or cards that resonate with you. This week there are no glorious crystals, instead the reading was done on rocks. As any rock you find, whether it is a river rock, a rock in the woods, a rock in a meadow is a crystal and they all have a purpose.

MAVEN OF MASKS

Who do you want to be? Try that self on for size! You might just discover another genuine facet of you, beyond your known identity. The Maven of Masks tells you, “Act as you wish to be, and so you shall be!”

Have you ever felt the liberation of feeling like a different person when on holiday, travelling in another part of the world or stepping into a world where people don’t know you? The masks have come off and you get to choose who you are going to be. You might feel unfamiliar ways of being – more assertiveness, more confidence, more vulnerability, more feminine or masculine energy – all rising up from within you. It is time to ‘try another personality for size’, to see how much of it ends up being authentically you, just a newly discovered you, but true nonetheless. If you want to discover new qualities in you, you are going to have to start somewhere. Believe, first of all, that you have undiscovered depths and diversity in you.

Second, you have to play – not play-acting, but playing. What is it like to show up for life as if you already have all the courage and sass you long for, or all the creativity and confidence you yearn for? See yourself as that person, as having those qualities. Otherwise, you are like a bird who is yet to fly. It’s in you, but you have to have faith first, and act as if you do. The bird who has never flown has it in him to fly, but he has to make the leap of faith to realise this for himself.

NEBULA WARRIOR

There are advocates for love on this earth, those that are passionate defenders of the freedom for all beings to grow and fulfil their divine destiny. These warriors for the soul know they can either use darkness to serve the growth of the light, or allow it to consume their sense of hope, trust and faith in the right outworking of the destiny of all living things. You are being initiated in the ways of working with darkness constructively, to become a soul warrior with all living beings.

Some things in life are worth fighting for – but how do you fight with love? How do you fight without becoming bitter, hateful, tired, disconnected from the whole reason you needed to fight in the first place? To be a warrior for love and the soul, you have to be smart. You have to know how to fight without fighting, how to use the natural darkness on this planet as a way to birth a new consciousness that is unafraid. Nebula Warrior isn’t afraid of the dark. She isn’t interested in the rules of war established by fear-loving minds. She creates her own rules, not based on what people want her to believe, but based on what works to keep her free and liberate the minds and hearts of all beings.

She comes to you now because whatever situation needs healing in your life, or in the world, you have the power to bring it about. If you go for the goal directly, trying to force a change, you will be putting your considerable energy into pursuit and unintentionally set up resistance and repulsion. Guiding rather than forcing the solution to come into being , is a more effective use of your power. Do what you can do, each day. If you cannot do something you want to do, ask for help from the universe and then let it go. When you need rest, take it. You are a warrior of love and you will win any and every war, through cool compassion and smart, simple strategy.

THE JUGGLER

Many projects in the air; aspirations and inspirations everywhere. Action to take, commitments to make and yet another will soon join the fray! Say yes, do not delay. It will all work out in the perfect way.

You are capable of many things and you are too important an asset to the plan of love on this planet to be left idle. So life, the universe and your own creative urges will ask a lot of you. There will be many inspirations, ideas and dreams that you will yearn to bring to life in the world. You might wonder if it’s all a bit too much for any one person to handle. You might feel you are juggling so much already that if even one more demand or idea comes through, you’ll drop the balls already in the air, and the whole damn thing will come undone!

The Juggler is the master multi-tasker. He brings the skills wisdom and tricks you need to not only successfully bring to life all your current dreams and ideals, but to be open to even more flowing through you. If you feel overwhelmed, you are letting yourself get ahead of yourself, allowing your mind to move too far into the future. Bring it back to now, to just what can be done now. Let tomorrow take care of itself. Prioritise, what do you need to do most today, and what can be left until later? Remember to ask for help and remember that your individual success is actually part of the greater group success. The universe wants you to succeed. It will keep an eye on the pots on the boil whilst you stir the one that is bubbling over now. You are going to manage all that is going on in your life if you remember to stay present and relax, deal with what is immediately happening and not worry about any other distractions. You’ll not only handle all that’s currently going on, but when another opportunity heads your way, you’ll add it to the mix with grace!

Wishing you a glorious Beltane/May Day. Pop a flower in your hair, put your bare feet on the grass, in the sand or in a creek. Light a candle and celebrate this fantabulous day, the birthing of new things, your glorious body, the unconditional love that surrounds you and Smile! See you next week.
