Happy Magickal, Mystical, Misty, Mizzly, Magnificent, Musical, Manifesting Monday!
Oh my gosh, so many things to share and explore this week! Whoot!
First things first, for all of you who have emailed asking if there is going to be a Magikal Manual for Samhain (Halloween), you bet! It was meant to be ready today, however, with a delicious bout of food poisoning over the weekend, things got a bit waylaid, lol! So it should be out later this week!
And for all of you asking when the doors of Creatrix Circle are opening – later this week, in time for our wonderful Samhain gathering.
On Wednesday we welcome in the delicious Full Moon in Aries, aka The Hunter Moon.
The energy of this Full Moon is deep and intense, but they offer us some wisdom, healing, and insights too, tying in with the veil thinning and Samhain coming.
As Forever shares: This configuration of energy can create a building of tension, but sometimes we need tension in order to inspire action.
Sometimes, it takes feeling stretched to your limits in order to put your foot down, speak your truth, set boundaries, and act, in an effort to change your situation.
The spiritual meaning of this Hunter Moon is focused on internal work and self-reflection. So begins the dark half of the year. Accept and welcome the darkness with open arms and spirit.
It’s a moment to look back in history to our ancestors and the lessons they can teach us.
It’s a wonderful time for gratitude and appreciation for what Nature has given us. You can feel the magical energy in the air right now as the veil grows thin and the ability to communicate with our ancestors or loved one’s increases. It’s an opportunity for spiritual growth and goal setting.
Now is the season for deep internal work and journaling or working in your BOS can be really beneficial. Don’t be afraid to look into that darkness inside of you and figure out what it wants to show you about who you are!
No judgment, be as kind to yourself as you would a loved one! There is so much happiness and magick to be found in the darkness and gloom.
Take some time on Wednesday, light a candle, cleanse your crystals, make moon water – or just sit and reflect on your ancestors, the gratitude that fills your heart and what wants to be found in the warm, welcoming dark.
So what does it mean when someone says The Veil is Thinning? Tess very kindly shares some amazing insight for you.
Let’s begin this exploration by considering that on one level, we are each separate beings with our finite little lives. But on a truer level, we are each infinite and eternal. We have no beginning and no end. And we are one with each other and every single thing.
At Samhain, that relentless, all-pervasive Mystery is as close as it ever gets. And now we’ve arrived at what we mean when we say “the veil is thin.”
You might say the veil is the place where the everyday illusion of separation brushes up against the divine truth of eternity and universal interconnection. The place where form meets spirit, seen meets unseen, known meets unknown.
When we meditate or perform ritual, or when we have a mystical experience of any variety, this curtain parts and we are able to gaze into the place of power, the place between the worlds.
Why does the veil thin throughout October, and particularly at Samhain?
Because the days are getting shorter and the natural world is preparing to temporarily withdraw from the realm of life and growth. The harvest cycle is waning, but it’s not gone.
This means Samhain is a transition: a doorway between the season of life and the season of death. Beneath this realm of constant change, there is a wide open space of eternity. A place of stillness in which the appearance of change arises. A serene openness to which we will always return, and with which we are one, even at this very moment.
Do you see how it all ties together? The Moon, The Veil, Samhain, Nature – all of it? And think, you are a beautiful thread in this amazing tapestry!
Okay, enough chuntering on let’s crack on with the reading! When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide, heal and support this week I was delighted to see that The Spirit of the Animals Oracle chose to shine.
So in case you may have never met them, let me introduce you. “Animal Medicine, Animal Totems, and Animal Mascots have had cultural significance throughout our history. Europeans adopted animals as tribal symbols that were later incorporated into crests for nations. China has an animal associated with every birthday. The Romans celebrated the eagle as the symbol for the empire. Our ancestors observed the appearance of animals as omens and signs. Shamans and mystics rely on spirit animal helpers. Native Americans have vision quests to discover their personal animal totem. School sports teams choose animal mascots. It is no wonder that the interest in animals as emblems and how they relate to us still persists. Animals as symbols live in our deepest memory.”
Wonderful! So my darling one just settle in. Allow your breath to bring you back into your body and call back all the pieces of you that you may have left in various places throughout the last week. Just breathe them all back to your core, like welcoming in little sparks of starlight.
To help you with this, there’s a lovely guided visualisation where we shall go for a little walk together, yes?
Did you remember to pick?
Let’s go see shall we?
LIZARD
Lizard is an Ancient One. They are reptiles from an older time. Their quick action and quirky maneuvers outwit and confuse their adversaries. Lizards survive.
Lizard is sometimes called the “little dragon”. Lizard medicine has the power of regeneration and transformation. Lizards can shed their skin, their tail, let go of the past and step into a positive future. Lizard people know they can survive anything and heal against incredible odds. They are powerful dreamers and should pay attention to messages that come from their subconscious. You can receive warnings that will help you avoid pitfalls.
If Lizard has chosen you, you have the “little dragon” within. Dragons are those who are free of the limitations of the past and transform into greater awareness of self and personal power. With Lizard medicine, you can transcend injury and hardship. Lizard people re-grow and renew themselves into wholeness.
As a survivor you are unparalleled,
No matter what happens you can adapt.
Embrace your transformation.
Put on your new cloak,
You are a master of regeneration.
PEACOCK
The Peacock is the most iridescent of all birds. Their feathered cloak of blue, aqua and gold is worthy of royalty. Their boisterous cries hold both mockery and laughter, which comes from their regal self-confidence. Peacocks are blessed with clear vision that notices the smallest detail. Because of their ability to eat poisonous snakes, Peacocks we4r4 used as protectors in ancient temples. If Peacock appears good luck will follow. The feathers of Peacock are symbols for protection, prosperity and sensuality. The Peacock is a symbol for rebirth and new beginning like its cousin the esuvie Phoenix.
If Peacock has walked into your life you have a colourful and vibrant personality that is sure to win admirers. You can raise yourself to great heights of brilliance in your field. Peacock people have the gift of observation and kenn perception. Your inner vision brings you wisdom and foresight. You must guard against letting your vanity or pride get the better of you. The best Peacocks are just their authentic selves. Your positivity and radiance helps lift others up to realise their own worth.
You were born to shine and inspire.
Practice humility to avoid jealousy.
Be grateful for life
And more good things will come.
Be true to yourself and

OWL
Owl is the messenger and revealer of secrets. The totem of oracles and seers, Owl sits on their shoulder and is their advisor When Owl flies into your life know that a time of unveiling is at hand and the truth will be made known. Change is in the wind. Owl medicine can help you release the past and fly into a better future. Owls are creatures of the night. Their silent flight and superior vision make them supreme hunters. They capture the prize. If they cross your path repeatedly it is a warning to review your situation and see where deception is lurking. To see an owl can be an omen that a profound change is coming.
If Owl is your totem you are an Old Soul. You succeed with wisdom. No one can deceive you and you see into others’ souls. Be sure to keep your knowledge secret unless asked to provide counsel.
