2023 is Here and this 7 year invites you to Resonate, Discern and Align.

· ·

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Magnificent, Majestic, Meaningful, Miraculous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you most delicious lovely?  It feels like we haven’t connected for ages, but in reflection it has only been a few weeks!  I had such great plans of taking a few weeks of winter hibernation to relax, play, create – however, I obviously didn’t phrase it correctly as I kept saying “I want two weeks off to sleep, read and do nothing.” So the Divine, with their gorgeous sense of humour gave me an upper respiratory thing that kicked my arse!

Remember kids – words have power. Intentions have even more power!

Welcome to January 2023.  I don’t know about you but the first week of January has felt a month long!

I will say that this Gregorian Calendar of “It’s a New Year ” puts a lot of expectations on people, and they are normally negative ones.  Which thoroughly irritates me, as it is something that is pushed in the media, magazines, our collective culture.  

 If someone else asks me what my resolutions are I may bop them on the nose – as I don’t believe in them!

To me, resolutions are made because – “everyone does this”,  we should all make resolutions as it’s a New Year.  Mmmmmm, having done them for years (because that was expected), they are normally based on fixing something about oneself or not feeling enough.  

An example.  As someone who used to go to the gym daily, I would see people flood in at the beginning of January with the resolution of “I have to get fit and buff”.  Mmmm, okay.  By early February you never saw them again.

Why?

Because the intention wasn’t based on the energies that are in play, nor in how they wanted to feel.

So let’s look at 2023. In Numerology this coming year is a 7 year.

7 is the number of soul searching and really connecting our higher self to our earthly plane.

It’s the year for tuning into your soul, your heart, your wise inner self and tuning out the noise of the world.  

This year will be rich in spiritual lessons and change will be immense (we have Saturn, Jupiter and most importantly – Pluto moving!)  And as the saying goes – when Pluto changes signs, all sorts of things change.  

So this is where the invitation for you is to really tune in, revise, re-vision and re-think (or re-feel) into what is in your best and highest good.

The words that come up strongly are: Resonate, Discern and Align.

So ask yourself these questions:

What does your soul want you to share with you?

What would it feel like to move in the world from a place of ease, alignment and to really thrive?

How do you want to make your mark in the world?

Last but not least, How do you want to live?

(So there is some musing for you to play with!)

Okay, enough chuntering – let’s crack on with the reading.  The cards that flew out and at me this week  are the amazing Divine Circus Oracle, which made me laugh my soxs off – as the world does feel like that right now, circus like.  

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

“What is life if not a Divine Circus?  Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us  moments earlier.  Life is magical, thrilling, sometimes strange and even scary.  It can inspire you and touch your soul, inviting you to discover the unique magic within you, to dare to live it, to express it, to play with possibilities and embrace what sets you apart from the crowd. “

Thus, I invite you to breathe and just BE with your gorgeous self here at this moment.  Take a few lovely, rich, nourishing breaths and let the cares of the moment slide off like wee little raindrops.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

If you need some help and support releasing the “shoulds”, the weight of energy around you I have a lovely guided visualisation for you.  It’s fun, we are going on a yomp and an explore!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look at the first guides of 2023.

JOKER IS WILD

The Universe has a sense of humour, but never at your expense.  It is laughing with you, not at you.  You’ll see this for yourself as the Joker weaves her magic in your life, bringing you the grace that is beyond all reason, the necessary ingredient to ensure you win with the hand you have been dealt by life.  There’s nothing impossible when the Joker appears.  Her wild ways can transform a losing streak into a lifelong love affair with Lady Luck.

Strap yourself in and prepare for the ride of a lifetime.  The Joker has come to you and the Joker is wild.  Unpredictable and brilliant, she brings you a message.  You are being empowered to overcome all odds.  So you are going to win.  No doubts, no dramas, but not necessarily in a way that you expect either!  She is sending the best possible situation to you even now.  It might startle you, like a sudden light in the middle of the night, but it will be welcome nonetheless.

The Joker is the highest trump card to beat all others.  No matter how much another may seem to have the upper hand, or how many forces seem to be against you, even if you feel like a lone wolf about to be mauled by a pack of hungry lions, the Joker always wins.  She comes out of the blue, and changes destiny from darkness to light.  She brings the brilliant solution that ends a problem, the way through that is best and brightest.  

You probably won’t see it coming.  It will probably be in a way that subverts everything you once believed to be true.  But it will be a welcome trick by the Universe, a loving joke that opens your heart and helps you realise that this vast impersonal universe personally knows and cares for you, so intimately and with such meticulous care.  Just don’t expect to feel in control of the process, for the Joker is wild and moves according to her own genius, but always blesses you with what will work best, beyond compare, now and always.  

RED COUNTESS

Deep within, you know what is true and what to do (or not do).  Yet there is so much noise and distraction in the world, and even at times in our own minds, that listening for our inner wisdom can seem like trying to hear gentle birdsong in the midst of a rock concert.  Even so, you are hearing an inner truth, and deep down, you know it. 

Can you trust that it is safe to not only hear your inner voice but act on it too?

There is something that you know.  You’ve felt, sensed, heard or realised this truth more than once.  Even if others see or feel differently, you just know what you know, even if you don’t quite know how you know it!  

Give your truths value.  Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense.  Know that they’re worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying.  

If you cannot figure out what your inner truths are, or you feel confused by conflicting thoughts and feelings, torn between head and heart, then you are in a state of information overload.  You need to switch off, discharge some excess mental and emotional energy and take a break. 

Give yourself some time out from the crazy noise and constant distractions of the world so you can get in touch with what is true for you.

SILVER SIREN

When is an enchantment not enchanting?  When it is a spell that you allow to consume your free will, even as it promises so much and yet delivers so little.  The Silver Siren sings her song, a pretty poison to the soul.  Her false allure tempts the mind, even whilst the heart feels that something is not quite right. 

Your power will come from discerning the truth and allowing her false promises no place in your heart.

If you compromise your integrity you will find that what you have obtained was not worth the price you paid for it, no matter how much you believed it would be otherwise.  It simply will not be worthwhile. 

The Silver Siren is a false light that is so very enticing but so destroying.  To disempower the false light, you must stay true to what your heart says.  No matter how much you may fear you’ll regret it later on, simply say no to that which is unworthy, to that which does not hold the truth of love within.  Even if a person declares that they are utterly enlightened and only interested in your highest good; even if the opportunity at hand is “too good to miss”, making your mind needy and confused, follow your heart – if it’s not a Hell Yes, it’s a NO!

You are being given an opportunity for empowerment.  It is time to trust yourself and stand firm with your truths, and to experience the priceless sense of love, safety, security, peace and self-possession that this brings.  With this, your soul can sing its own song, a song that shares true light, the lightness of a heart that lives in peaceful truth with the world.

Holy Hannah, you can’t make this shit up! 

What fabulous guides to kick us off in January.  

Take time this week to really FEEL into what you want to experience this year, and how you want to ALIGN with it.  Big hugs and squeezes, and see you next week.  

Solstice is Here! A time of Stillness, Rest and Reflection and I Have a Two Free Solstice Gifts for You!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Marvellous, Magnificent, Majestic, Merry, Manic, Manifesting Monday!

Hello delicious lovely!  How are you?  I am sooooo looking forward to Solstice and I have two Solstice gifts for you, which you will discover as you read and I want to wish you an amazing holiday season – however you celebrate and to say thank you.  Thank you for being here, thank you for all your lovely emails and messages.  Thank you for being you and sharing with me.  

Solstice arrives on Wednesday  the 21st and I am thrilled, as not only is it Solstice, it’s my youngests birthday!

But what does the energy of Solstice bring to you?

At the Winter Solstice, when the world appears to stand still, it can serve as a moment out of time, an opportunity to reconnect with our own souls once again.

I found a beautiful quote years ago that really epitomises this energy.

“As the nights get longer, I find myself whispering dreams and knowings, letting them surface in the gentle dark. Things which can’t yet bear the light of day can find their way to the surface of my being where I can begin the tentative work of exploring and holding and breathing them in.”

There’s a very special stillness about the season we are entering. Even though everything appears dead & frozen in the outside world, a new cycle is beginning. You can sense there is magic brewing deep down in the dark.

Winter is like being in the chrysalis stage in the evolution of the butterfly. It’s the time when the caterpillar is wrapped up quietly, in the dark of her cocoon. To the outside world it doesn’t look like anything is happening. (And this is one of the most challenging things about embracing rest: to the outside world it doesn’t look like anything is happening. Our brains scream at us, telling us “you’re not doing anything. You’re wasting your time.”) 

But actually, deep in the dark, a quiet transformation is happening: the caterpillar is evolving into a magnificent butterfly.

This is the same transformation your spirit, and all of nature, is undergoing this season. To the outside world life is still & quiet, there’s no movement. You don’t see anything meaningful happening.

But in the darkness, hidden deep inside, a powerful transformation is occurring. You are evolving into a whole new place in your life.  

It’s a time of Dreaming.

Dreaming up the dreams of everything that will grow in your life this year. Dreaming up new plans, new ideas, new ways of being that will blossom & grow, and become bountiful harvests in the year ahead. The dreams of everything to come this year are being sparked in your winter’s rest.

Winter is the season when things are revealed by turning deep within yourself. Embracing the quiet & the darkness – recognizing that you don’t need to do anything for the magic to unfold. 

This is the season of receiving.

Are you willing to receive?  

The first gift I have for you is the delightful story of the Yuletide Faeries, a wonderful story to read as an adult, share with children or grandchildren.  

The second gift I have for you is a 20 minute guided visualisation called Winter Solstice – Heart Weaving.    This lovely guided visualisation walks you into the warm dark, and you are going to meet some amazing guides and allies.  Come dance with archetypes, myth, healing and shamanic transformation.  And start dreaming into the space to weave something new.

And of course the delicious B.O.W.S (Book of Winter Solstice) is available to you as well.

Let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to share this week I nearly cried.  What perfect guides for this time.  Blessed Be.  Please let me introduce you to Blessed Be as these guides may be new to you.  “May these cards and guides offer you ways to enter into deeper appreciation of your life and its manifold blessings.  May you have hope, understanding and kindness.  And most of all, may you know deep within your soul, that thou art blessed.”

Oh my gosh, positively perfect.  

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

A BLESSING FOR PEACE OF MIND

A blessing to help soothe the mind at storm with itself, and bring about calm and peace once again.

When you awaken, and trouble is sitting there, with you, right on your shoulder, speaking to you of all you must fret and be fearful of, let this blessing come to you, and be felt truly in your mind, where the turbulence has reigned for too long now.

Let the quiet of the natural day steal in, let the soft call of your spirit whisper to you that you have worried too long, and that it is time to set down your burden and let the angels and spirit beings deal with what cannot be unravelled by the labyrinth of thought.  

Let it go, and let it be, for it is not for you to do what others will not, cannot, or remain ignorant of.  It is for you now, to care for you.  Let peace, that quiet blessing, softly take up residence in your mind, and speak calming words to you, soothing every objection your mind at war with the world creates.  

Let the nurturing of the Mother, the planet herself, who loves  you so and cares so much for you, take hold, and take root within your mind.  Let yourself do only what must be done this day, and be very kind and very gentle all this time with yourself.  

Speak softly, remove yourself from anything that provokes the disquiet unnecessarily, and calm yourself through the taking of moments to soothe yourself.  Let your mind release, one by one, those terrible thoughts that have tortured you.  Let your body relax, and move, and in the movement free yourself from the stress and tension.  Let the idea of being at war with the world, isolated and alone, go, and for a time, seek out only those who show kindness and sensitivity to you.  

Be patient with yourself, and in this patience, let the blessing of deep peace be yours.  

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING TO FIND YOUR WAY

A blessing for when we find ourselves lost and unsure of which way to go.

Whichever direction we turn in seems as dense and dark as the other.  There is no one to show us the way.  There is no light with which to see the path.  There is no map for where you find yourself.  When we find ourselves in that space where we are utterly bereft of where to turn, of what to do, of whom to trust, let this blessing help you find your way once again.

You once knew where you were headed.  You once knew who you were.  You once could trust in that inner compass that would help you turn and walk to the true north of your life.  

May you surrender to this moment, and let yourself be still and quiet a while.  May you seek not to move, but to observe, and to feel, and to come back into connection with yourself.  

May you feel the reweaving of yourself with yourself, and as you do this, may you be blessed with the sight to pierce the darkness and see what lies ahead.  When that moment comes, may you begin to feel your compass stir, and turn, and point to a path.  May you begin to rediscover who you are, and in that rediscovery come a knowing of what the person you are must do next.  

May a sense of relaxed and graceful certainty begin to deliver you from this period of vulnerability, yet let the gifts of understanding and compassion, of the inner knowing which can unite us all, be with you always.  

Allow your core to speak to you again.  For its voice was dulled by the noise of the world, and the apparent certainty of knowing who we are.  When we lose that, we can finally have the moment in which we can see the soul, clearly, without bias and cliche.

We find ourselves, through the loss of who we thought we were, and where we thought we ought to go.  May this process bring the re-enrichment blessing of your own self.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING OF THE EARTH

A blessing for connection with the land, for strong bodies and bones, for blood that flows bright red with energy, for grain to harvest and good food upon your table.  

May you be blessed by the element of earth.  May your body possess vigour and vitality, and may you feel the natural world alive within your own skin and bones.  May your home grow up out of the earth and be solid upon it, and may the land upon which it rests offer its energy of solidity, strength and endurance to you for many years to come.  

May the food upon your table overflow with nwyfre – the vital force of all things that truly have life-force, and may you share this food with those who bring to you great joy in being alive in this form this lifetime.  

May your eyes shine and see, your legs walk straight upon the earth, and your feet go softly upon the path you tread.

May all the beauty and wildness and strength of Nature find expression through your life and your connection to the earth, and may the great mother of us all, the land, from whom you born and to whose womb you will return, offer  you nourishment and strength all the days of this life.  

May the ancestors within the earth send forth their wisdom to you, guide you, comfort you and encircle you with your soul family in times of trouble.  When times are good, remember them, for they have been with you always.  

May you feel the love of the earth, may you feel its protection, its nourishment, its comfort and finally, when you rest again within her arms, may she rebirth you gently into the next lifetime, ready to enjoy her pleasures more deeply.

BLESSED BE

Ahhh, my heart is filled with joy as I see the cards my guides picked.  Wishing you an amazing holiday season.  Please help yourself to the free gifts and there are 2 spots left for Opening the Doors on 2023.  I am going to spend time being like a caterpillar in a cocoon and relax, rest, read and play.  See you in January.  Big hugs and big love. I hope your holiday season is filled with ease, rest and laughter.  Thank you.  

What does Peace Smell Like? Winter Solstice is coming! And The Book of Winter Solstice is here!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Miraculous, Musing, Magnificent, Mature, Manifesting Monday.

How are you delicious lovely?  Quite a few of you have asked how long the “Opening the Door on 2023” personal theme reading will be available.  Good question.  The spots will be open until Solstice, thus, December 21st.

The Book of Winter Solstice is ready and I love her.  She is 59 pages of wonderment, rich with rituals, lore, stories, magick and amazing ways to honour this deep and rich celebration.   

But let me ask, how was the last week and the full moon energy for you?  Did you take some time to perk the energy of this month and think about the things that Inspire you?

I ask because many of you emailed and messaged saying you felt soooooooo out of sorts and I think a few of you used the word “fucked”.  As it felt a tad overwhelming.  I can totally relate!  My energy last week was all over the map, from panic, to anger, to anxiety, to fear, to needing to just be on my own to wanting to be sort of around others.  It was bizarre! And then I took time on the evening of the full moon to immerse myself in the forgiveness ritual that nourished my soul and reset the energy, and the sense of Peace that came flooding in was Divine!

Which got me thinking about Peace.  What does that word really mean? In a fabulous kids book written by Vladimir Radunsky he asks kids aged 8 – 10 from all around the world What Does Peace Feel Like?  Here are some of their amazing answers.  

What does peace smell like?

Like a bouquet of flowers in a happy family’s living room, like pizza with onions and sausage that just came out of the oven…

What does peace look like?

Like a cat and a dog curled up together in a basket, like new babies just born yesterday…

What does peace sound like?

Like a silent day, like raindrops falling, like no bad words…

What does peace taste like?

Like vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, like sweet, like your favourite food times two…

What does peace feel like?

Like hugs your friends give you when you cry, like someone stroking your back; you shiver a little, but it’s a wonderful feeling…

Kids are so honest and smart!

If you make an advent wreath at all, last week’s candle was the candle of Hope and the Stones and the Bones.  Yesterday was the lighting of the candle of Peace and the Plants.  The  Roots, stem, leaf, flower, and fruit by whom we live and grow.  

I love the awareness this light invites, the awareness of the food we eat, the plants that heal us, the plantscape in Nature that nurtures us and soothes our souls. 

And this delicious energy of Peace so beautifully ties into the Winter Solstice which is rapidly approaching!

I have to admit I love, love, love Solstice – to me it’s that perfect balance point and the start of something new and exciting, filled with potential and possibilities and I can feel the energy of it for a few weeks before it even arrives.   

There is a sensation of reflection, going inwards and questioning that arrives naturally from this energy.  To me this is a time where I notice those “meh” moments more and really examine my life and ask the question “Am I showing up and embodying what I am called to do?” 

That’s why, to me, I feel it’s vital to take some time out to honour this energy and work with it which in turn allows me to feel aligned.  In fact I feel more balanced, connected and inspired after I have taken some time.

As the days get shorter in December, we force ourselves to get through the darkness. Now is a good season for spiritual alchemy — time to evaluate your life, and know that you’ll survive the dark times. 

As we leave the season of late Autumn we enter the season of Winter which is brought in by Solstice (Yule).  This is where we are invited to the downward spiral, the slow descent as water returns to Earth, emotion (water) coming into form (earth).  The energy is descending and the light is low—this is the most inward, the most yin part of the year. Yet this is the time of year where we have the most Yang activities!

However, you can’t fool your body.  When you really are tuned into your body and listen to the messages, your body often tells you things before anything or anyone else does.  It wants to relax, rest, rejuvenate, replenish, create and imagine.  

It wants to embrace Peace and Hope fully!

So let me ask again – what does Peace mean to you and how can you walk with it into the darkness of Solstice? (And if you need a hand I highly recommend BOWS – Book of Winter Solstice.)

Okay, with all that being said (sometimes I do chunter on!), let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to support and guide this week I was delighted to see that the White Light Oracle were super keen.  Now, if these guides are new to you please let me introduce you to them.  

Let us guide you into the luminous realm of the sacred.  The sacred is your heart treasure.  It is that which brings light into your life.  The sacred is precious to you.  It matters enough that you are willing to devote yourself to it – even when that requires courage, sacrifice and growth.  The sacred generates inner warmth.  It brings you joy.  The sacred is a healing mirror that shows you the truth of your experience, which can include a compassionate reflection of your own suffering.  It shows you how to heal.  It inspires and protects you.  What is sacred for your heart is unique to you.  Yet, for every heart, the sacred is an experience of sublime love and deep meaning.  The sacred helps us remember who we are and shows us how to manifest our inner purpose.  

Oh gosh yes, we certainly need to work within the sacred and with our strong rebellious hearts at this time!

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

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to go see?

BATH KOL

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

Bath Kol is a mysterious creature.  She is an angel known as the divine oracle, the daughter of the divine voice, the pure and true sound of spirit.  When she whispers to your heart, you feel it as an inner knowing, a truth.  To honour that inner knowing likely requires the confrontation of fear or moving in unexpected directions.  Even so, the deep resonance of her truth is more powerful than the resistance we may initially feel as we let go of our limited perspectives and allow ourselves to be guided by Spirit.

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

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

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

DVARA PATRA

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

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

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

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

Dvara is Sanskrit for a pathway, an opening or portal, a doorway or even a means or method.  Your deepest fulfilment is via the receptive faculty of the sacred feminine.  The feminine way is organic, creative, responsive, spontaneous and effective.  It is not constrained by our human perceptions of what is or is not possible.  To honour and empower the sacred feminine genius in our lives requires a considerable shift away from mainstream, conditioning and into spiritual surrender.  Allowing her method, rather than blocking her loving creativity in our lives, entails the movement from head to heart.

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

YOGINI OF 285 Hz

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

In numerous spiritual traditions of the East, such as those from Nepal, Tibet and India , the yogini is a female spiritual adept, a practitioner of deep yoga that awakens a powerful connection with one’s real inner being.  The yogini holds space for healing and enlightenment, moving through obstacles and challenges with wisdom, patience, commitment and often great joy.  She is our spiritual sister, our sacred friend and our guide away from the bleak, erroneous thinking of ego into the softened, awakened, relaxed, gracious way of Spirit.  

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

If you feel disoriented or conflicted about a choice, trust that this chaos is a consequence of a cosmic realignment with your life path.  Move through it with trust in your heart, patience and a willingness to keep the faith, knowing you will eventually find your way.  The adjustments taking place within you will affect your outer world.  Just like the tumultuous alchemical journey of the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, your inner transformation shall shape you and your world into the beautiful, inspired, and authentic form it is meant to be.  

Woosah!  How deliciously lovely.  Thus glorious bean I wish for you a week of Peace and Hope with an appreciation for the bones and stones and a love for the plants that nourish and heal you.  Immerse yourself in The Book of Winter Solstice and allow yourself to be nourished.  And if you feel inclined, give yourself the personal theme reading for 2023.  Breathe in  Peace and Big Blessings, Hugs and Squeezes!  See you next week for the last reading of the year.    

Welcome to December, What’s Your Theme Going to Be for 2023?

· ·

Inspiration, The Cold Moon and Solstice is almost here!

Happy Magickal, Miraculous, Meaningful, Majestic, Musical, Manifesting Monday!

Can you believe we are in December already?  I have to say that for me it felt like 2022 just whizzed by!  And here we are on the first Monday of December, closing out the year and stepping into all sorts of celebrations and expectations lol.  

To  help us all navigate and set strong intentions for 2023 I am opening up spots for Opening Up The Door on 2023. Your Personal Theme card reading for 2023.

This reading is designed to support and empower you for the year ahead as we dive deep and explore the themes and energy of your theme card.  It shows what 2023 will bring to you personally, energetically and how to embrace and embody it all year long.

Many of you found this super helpful last year and have requested it again.  

So voila, here it is!

Also, many of you have emailed and asked if there is going to be a Book of Winter Solstice.  Yes, yes there is. 

Too often, we go through winter out of alignment with the seasonal energy: we’re working against it, and it’s creating a lot of dis-ease in our spirits. It depletes you.

This is why The Book of Winter Solstice was created.  To offer a different, deeper and more meaningful way to engage with all that our society and our soul needs. 

I will be sending out an email mid week with all of the info, so that you have it in time for this gorgeous Solstice.

Okay, so with our move into December the energy has changed and the theme is “GET INSPIRED.”

As Lena explains – “December is a big month and not entirely all beauty and fun, as we are still under sluggish influences keeping us focused internally, filtering and weeding out the debris of old emotional baggage, relationships that don’t support us, habits that don’t serve us, and responsibilities that are not ours. The good news is that we are very slowly moving out of the intense grind of the past several months that for many of us has been very challenging.

The most important area of growth and focus this month is around the reflection of what inspires you and whether you have what inspires you active in your life at this time or not. 

We have some powerful points of change with the full moon and the solstice times that will hold your feet to the fire in this process of observation making it one not so easily ignored. 

Whatever is not inspiring will become painfully obvious and you will have opportunities to make choices, decisions and adjustments. There are a lot of aspects to inspiration that will be affected this month beginning with the personal self. 

Are you inspired by who you are? Self-esteem issues are on the table and there will be many chances to forgive the past and reset one’s relationship to self.”

So let me ask, What Inspires You?

On Wednesday, December 8th we welcome in the Cold Moon, the last Full Moon of 2022! December’s long dark nights and cold frigid days bring the Moon’s annual cycle full circle. 

The Cold Moon’s  spiritual meaning indicates now is an ideal time to start visualising what you want to bring into your life. (Which ties in for the energy of this month of Get Inspired).

Once 2022’s Full Moon of December arrives, we’ve completed an entire trip around the sun. Now is a beautiful moment to focus on all the good things headed your way!

You’ve been working so hard and have some serious gumption, trust that the universe will help bring your intentions and dreams to fruition. The Cold Moon encourages you to follow your greatest passions and spiritual joys.

It’s a time for introspection and soul-searching, a chance to recharge and reconnect. This is a magical season full of transformation and deep internal work.

It may seem counterproductive to pause, rest, and reflect. Especially in our Western Culture that is all about the parties and celebrating right now.  

However, remember your worth isn’t defined by your productivity. 

Use the Cold Moon as a symbolic guide to “freeze and hibernate” as well. Slow down and be fully present in activities that truly bring you joy and pleasure.  To help you delve deeper into this energy I have some lovely Journal Prompts for you to play with as well as a super easy Ritual.  

Before you know it, Spring will be here, so enjoy these quiet moments of rest and solitude.

So with all of that chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading.  When I went to the guides and cards and asked who wanted to show and shine – the deck that came out loud and proud this week is Love Your Inner Goddess Oracle.  Perfect!  As we could all do with loving ourselves a wee bit more and being a tad more gentle and kind whilst we navigate these delicious times.

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them – “These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth. 

Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world.  We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK.  Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense. 

She wants so much more for you.  She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny.  She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart.  She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you.  You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true. 

There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed.  Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity.  She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart.“

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time.  Woosah!

So gorgeous one, breathe.  Just breathe, BE and allow yourself to relax, your mind to calm, your breath to slow and ask your wise inner self – what do I need to know this week.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your heartstrings – don’t let your mind pick!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

YOU ARE THE LIGHT

You are going through a spiritual initiation.  This is happening because you are ready for it, even if it doesn’t always feel that way.  The way to pass this test is to rely on the light within you.  Don’t let fear or doubt make you distrust the path ahead.

Don’t let fear or doubt make you distrust the path ahead.  Don’t give in to despair or believe that things will not work out.  You are learning to trust that the Universe knows what it is doing.  There are great and beautiful things meant for you, and no matter what appears to be right now, they will come to you in the perfect way and at the perfect time.

Light is powerful.  Some people don’t understand this.  The fear in their hearts makes them cynical.  That fear stops them from seeing what is true.  In the absence of truth, they hold on to their judgements instead.  They scoff at what they don’t understand.  Be careful of allowing such people to influence you.  

It’s not wise to take advice from people who are investing in creating pain.  You can have compassion for them, but you must not underestimate how their negativity can taint your trust in the Universe.  When we feel the light within us, when we trust in it, we are able to move beyond the fear and negativity that exists in this world.  You have it within you to be that light.

The only thing that can trap you is the choice to believe in the negative and give in to the fear.  

That’s not you, so don’t choose that for yourself.  Don’t listen to people who would cause you to question the light.  The light within you is the real you.  

Be at peace, beautiful one, for the positive power of the light in you is stronger than any darkness.    Keep your faith in the light.  All will be well.  

MERMAID SOUL

Deep within, you know what excites and inspires you.  Your job isn’t to decide whether that inspiration is practical, realistic or even possible.  Human beings have been shown throughout history that the ideas which they once scoffed at as  being ridiculous or impossible to achieve can become the realities that they rely upon and take for granted as a natural part of their daily lives not long afterwards.

You too shall move from doubt to wondering how you ever lived without this passion, idea or inspiration of  yours.  Let the Universe show off its creative flair for the unexpected and inspirational through  you.  Do not give up on what truly moves and inspires your heart, for soon enough it will be part of your world.

You are a rare creature, not entirely of this world.  You need to swim in deeper waters of mystery and meaning.  In those deep places, you can commune with the sacred and be nourished by that which is real and yet cannot be explained.  To deny this and remain on the surface of things will not satisfy your soul.  It would be like eating stale biscuits, when what you really hunger for is succulent fruit, sweet with juice.  

You crave mystery and magic the way most other people crave control and certainty.  These yearnings of yours are not immature or escapist.  They are the voice of your inner mermaid, rising up from your oceanic soul.  

Her siren song is the voice of your true desires.  You are connected to worlds beyond this physical reality, the worlds of spirit, healing, intuition, meditation and creativity.  

When you are in touch with her you will embody your feminine freedom and spiritual independence.  You will live your life according to what fills you up, living from that inner place where you feel at home, the realm of your soul.  

PEACOCK PRIESTESS

Daily life can get us down before we even realise what is happening. Trying to do it all can push us beyond our limits, draining our energy and stealing our joy.

One moment, we are on top of the world; the next moment, we wonder what happened and why we cannot rally our spirit. If we do not learn how to rest, exhaustion, crankiness and illness eventually force our hand. It takes longer to break down and recover – and is much more painful – than it is to learn to rest as part of our lifestyle.

Rest is not only a way to prevent unnecessary suffering, it also has its own value. When we are in restful quiet, we can hear our inner voice and the guidance of spirit much more clearly. We can feel gratitude and take delight in what brings us pleasure. Rest is part of how we live well.

Peacock Priestess reminds you that you can see taking rest as an act of love and a way to be a good role model. Don’t allow guilt or shame to stop you from taking delight in your downtime. What kind of rest you need will vary. It could be a long nap, painting, listening to music, writing poetry or practising meditation, a bath with candles, visiting a temple or church to sit quietly , working in your garden, playing with animals or going for a walk and being in nature, soaking up her beautiful healing energy.

There are many ways to rest. Try some. Find out what you enjoy.

If you feel impatient for something to happen – or worried that you are not accomplishing all that you want to achieve quickly enough – then take heart.

The Universe is working with you, not against you, to bring your dreams to life. Even times when not much seems to be happening are a part of this creative process, balancing out other times when energy becomes active and intense.

What will be most helpful for you and your dreams right now is to rest. During that pleasurable rest, behind the scenes, some spiritual magic is going to be created.

WARRIOR GODDESS

This is not a time to play it safe, nor is it time to allow another to take the lead in your life.  You need to believe in yourself and trust that the instincts guiding you are correct.  If you need to take action, do it.  Speak up: say yes; say no.  Trust your inner truth completely.

Be bold.  

The Universe will answer your boldest actions with affirmation, and you’ll move through the consequences of your actions with grace and courage, ending up exactly where you are meant to be.

You are ready.  Life has been preparing you.  Your experiences have made you stronger and wiser.  You have spirit and you have courage.  Believe in yourself!  You are a Warrior Goddess, and empowered, divine woman.

Trust that your foundations are strong.  Put your faith in the Universe.  It has been your life coach and guide all along, helping you build up your inner resources, encouraging you to realise the power that has always been within you.

The Universe believes in you.

When you feel it is time to take a step, take it with confidence.  When you ask for help from the Universe, ask with boldness and total confidence that your prayers will be answered in the best possible way.  You have the right to require that your personal space be respected.  You have divine permission and encouragement to claim your rightful place in the world.  You are meant to say no to behaviour that is dishonest, manipulative and bullying.

The warrior goddess uses her sacred anger to set a boundary and speak her truth, not to attack another.  She uses her inner fire to live with integrity, even if the right choices for her seem hard or frightening at the time.  She knows that the Universe has her back, so she is willing to be true to herself no matter what.  

She places integrity above all else.  She knows that compromising her self-respect to win a battle will end up losing her the war. 

Awesome!

Wowzer, these are delicious guides for the energy of December, the Cold Moon and Solstice.  How did you feel about the cards that picked you?  How are you feeling about 2023?  Remember to gift yourself one of the spots for finding out your personal theme for 2023.  Try out the journal prompts for this last Full Moon and take some time to do the Forgiveness Ritual (it’s very powerful).  Wishing you a stupendous week filled with sparkly lights, inspiration and cosy soxs.  See you next week for the second to last reading of this year!

How Big are Your Balls? Lol. Welcoming The Dark, Creativity, Intuition and the glorious Winter Solstice is coming!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Mystical, Marvellous, Magnanimous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you?  If you celebrated Thanksgiving I hope it was relaxing, fun and made your heart sparkle.  

Here the air has literally changed and I can smell that early winter smell mixed with wood smoke from cosy fireplaces.  

As I go for my big yomps with Danu the wise (and highly energetic) therapy doggo I’ve noticed that people are putting up tons of sparkly lights – I so LOVE sparkly lights! 

When I moved here a couple of years ago I noticed that people decorated their outdoor trees with HUGE, I mean HUGE Big Balls!  Which was a “new to me” thing, (Thus very quickly I experienced Big Ball Envy!)  So I thought – I need me some BIG BALLS!  Bright, shiny, sparkly and eye-catching lolol.  

I put this thought out there to friends and random strangers and lo and behold I manifested gorgeous gold crescent moons with a single star on them, big glorious gold balls and …….. Drum roll please!  BIG BLUE BALLS!  

(Trust me, some days I have the humour of a 10 year old boy!)  Yup, huge, mammoth BIG BLUE SHINY BALLS!  Snort! 

I have since added more big balls so we now have gold, red, and blue balls.  Thus, on Sunday when we had a glorious sunny day for a change I got out the ladder and bedecked the heck out of the tree in front of the house and a couple of wee Garry Oaks on the boulevard.  It looks quite cheerful, sparkly and makes me smile.

So when a rather crotchety person walked by and said “You’re putting Xmas decorations up already?”  I just grinned and said “these are my Solstice balls, and I like my balls big!” 

Okay enough of those shenanigans!  

Can you feel it?  The change in the season, the change in the energy?  

We are in the glorious late Fall and early Winter energy where we are being invited to go into the dark, to go inward, to ponder, perk, plan and prepare!  

Winter Solstice is just around the corner and I am so thrilled as it is one of my most favourite times of year.  I will be putting together a glorious package on rituals, energy and ways of celebrating the Winter Solstice, so make sure you are on the email list. 

However, the bottom line is very much about – into the dark we go to nourish, replenish and rejuvenate.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been finding with the shorter days and longer nights that my Creativity has been going through the roof.  I’ve been knitting, doing macrame, making wee mushrooms out of clay, writing tons and tons and it has felt so nourishing and satisfying.  It’s also increased my intuition 10 fold (which has been most interesting).  

As when we allow Creativity to flow through us (without any attachment to perfection on the end result), it allows our Intuition to flow alongside and that’s when Magick happens! 

What is something you have thought about making or creating but have held off due to overthinking and trying to make it perfect?  I dare you to try it this week.  Set aside some time in the evenings to just play!

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading.  Are you ready?

When I asked my guides who wanted to come and play this week they picked the gorgeous Wild Wisdom Faeries.

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them as not to, would be rather rude!  

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

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

Perfect guides for the energy shift that is happening and as we move closer to Solstice when the Fae come to dance.  

Okay dear one, take a moment.  Breathe yourself back into your body.  Allow your heart to beam like a glorious magnet and pull all the pieces of yourself back that you may have left scattered throughout the day.  

Then when you are ready I invite you to see in your minds eye a warm, welcoming darkness that wraps itself around you like a soothing weighted blanket.  

Your body and mind relax and from this place your Creativity surges bringing with it your own delicious Intuition.  Breathe that in.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that whisper to you, tickle the edges.  

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

CHILD OF THE MOON

It is time to allow the cycles of time, the tides and the flow of life herself, and even the power of the moon’s cleansing light to help you to forgive someone.  For if you are suffering right now, it must be due to a feeling of resentment or dislike that remains within you.  

There is nothing that forgiveness and her power cannot heal.  But how to do this, when life seems to flood us with memories of incidents that have wounded us?

It’s time to conduct a forgiveness ceremony as sincerely as you can in order not to recreate a situation that has previously hurt you.  While you are still vibrating to the energy of the past, it cannot help but repeat itself, even if the echoes do grow fainter.

You can attain enlightenment – a lessening of the burdens, a reduction in grief, a return of good cheer and optimism – through forgiveness.  

By forgiving those who have hurt or persecuted us, we allow ourselves to be free.  

Ask the faeries to assist you, to help you find the opportunities to exercise your forgiveness muscles.  Ask them to help you clear under moonlight, and watch them clear and brush from you all the debris that causes you pain.  Just volunteer for this.  Just all it to happen.  Just be willing, be open to it.  

You will know you have forgiven when reminders of the person or situation no longer cause you distress.  You will see the blessings and the lesson, and you will not allow this to take place again because forgiveness frees us from the shackles of pain that tie us to the past and to people we have long left behind.

When we do not forgive, we are, energetically and quite literally, dragging them around behind us.  And it is that weight that can hold us back from our true potential.  

ONCE WAS INNOCENT

Once you did not know.  You did not know the truth that your heart belongs to nature, that you were born innocent and you shall die wise, and that this is the true natural law.  Once you did not know.  But now you do.  And now you do know, you must decide what to do.  

Once you’ve experienced the magick of life, watched the moonlight woven into jewels, water offer herself to the thirsty roots of trees for drink and heard the birds speak one with the other.  Now you know of this magick, what will you do?  Pretend to live as before?  Endlessly go though the days, the next so much the same as the day before that it feels you are endlessly reworking ever so slightly the same time between sunrise and sunset?

Now you know.  What will you do?

If you are courageous, you can now become who you truly are on every level, including the magickal level.  When you accept this part of who you are, and accept that this magick you have experienced is natural and good, you will grow stronger, more fearless, more calm, more effective and you will draw to you the people who can echo back to you these truths you have found.

You will no longer mind not fitting into a realm you always feared living in, and you will know you can find your own path, tangled and wooded as it may be.  You can no longer deny what you have seen, heard, felt and touched and been touched by.  You know magick is true and real.  And that wonderment is your path, from this time forth.

So what to do?  Seek advice and consult people who have had similar experiences.  Surround yourself with knowledge, and know that the innocence is not lost, and that your beliefs are not naive.  Your wisdom is not telling your truth, and acknowledging your experience.  

Choose, let your blood sing and your heart will open.  And you will be in wonderment evermore.  

I wonder, too.  What will you choose?

GREENMANS DOOR

The faery know that there are times when the door to their realm is firmly, well, shut.  They choose when and to whom the door will open.  And while they may not look like they are on guard, the beautiful faery maiden swinging oh so casually on the handle, and the Greenman of the wood – literally – behind her will not let any pass unless they have shown they are good and wild at heart.  

But what the faery also knows, and what you are about to learn, is a great secret.  For there are eight great doors to Faery every 13 moons, and they are as old as Mother Earth herself, and are powerful portals to other dimensions and worlds.  Each of these great doorways and portals occurs throughout what witches call the Wheel of the Year, and they run from sundown to sundown the following day.  

These eight special times have long been covered, or changed, or smothered by other lore.  But now you know their true magicks, you too can experience the door opening.  And if you are wondering when the next time is, it’s the Winter Solstice.  These doorways, once walked through, can assist you in detaching from harmful thoughts, relationships and behaviours.  Walking through these doorways HEALS.

You are about to pass through a potential doorway of time, thus you will soon have access to other dimensions and realities, including that of the faery.  

It is time to consider becoming a walker between the worlds, to dance in the liminal space and the field of infinite possibilities.  To draw back the veil and to part the mists.  

To do so will bring healing, change and powerful magicks into your current reality.  Ask the Greenman and the faery maiden for permission to enter and make an offering.  Then prepare for deep, beautiful, abiding change.  

Make an offering, place your hand on the door, and push ever so gently.  Then she will open.  

Wow!  What glorious cards – how did you feel about the ones you picked?  Well delicious lovely I wish you a stupendous week, may you take time to go inwards and allow your own unique creativity to come and play.  Over the next bit we will be exploring the Winter Solstice, and a few other delightful nuggets to support you as we move through this last month of 2022.  Many of you have asked if I am opening up spots for a personalised reading as a Solstice special.  I will let you know next week.  Sending you huge hugs and squeezes, and remember – You are a glorious Creative being with big balls!  Lol.  Have a great week!
