Grab your Girdle Gertie it’s Eclipse Season, and a Spell for Release!

Happy, Magickal, Moony, Maddening, Mirthful, Majestic, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

How are you delicious lovely? Did you take some time on Remembrance Day to remember and tap into the potent energy of 11:11?

So let me ask, how has your sleep been? I have heard from many of you that you’re either having supremely vivid and rather odd dreams, or not sleeping well. No surprise! Eclipse energy magnifies the energy of the Full Moon which is happening on Friday November 19th.

And if you’ve been with me a while you will know that Eclipse time brings a lot of hidden things to the surface. Lunar eclipses tend to be highly emotional, so we may have a hard time being objective and logical, and instead jump to action without thinking things through or respecting others. When riled up, take some moments to calm down before rushing into anything.

This Full Moon eclipse is happening in the wonderful Beaver Moon, named after the diligent beavers who are eagerly completing their lodges and food stores for the cold Winter season ahead. However, beavers stay active all Winter long even when ice covers the water’s surface.

November’s Beaver Moon spiritual meaning symbolizes the beaver’s ability to be the architects and creators of their own life. This is something we can all endeavor to be! Use the Beaver Moon as a final motivating push before Winter to create action and transformation in your life.

Now is a time to finish the goals and intentions that are most important to you before Winter is officially here. Figure out what dams you need to create to stop draining your energy or allowing negative energy from influencing your physical and spiritual wellbeing.

While Eclipses can be potent, they do help us to level up and take a quantum leap forward on our path. Whatever falls away, as hard as it may be, is always a catalyst for our soul growth even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time.

So my sweetie, buckle up, ground and breath through the chaos both external and internal. Yes?

A simple ritual and spell to do under this Beaver Full Moon Eclipse is a Releasing Spell.

Cleansing your mind, space and soul.

How do you do it you ask?

Ask yourself what fears, baggage, and worries have you been allowing to take up space in your gorgeous soul and mind that are keeping you from moving forward.

What bad habits have you been continuing that are affecting your physical or mental health?

Then, make a list on a piece of paper and burn each one under the light of the Full Beaver Moon to eliminate these worries from your life. Make sure to use something fire safe.

After you have finished letting go of all that mental and soul clutter.

Use these words to seal the spell.

Chiron, wounded healer, come to me,

Release this pain and set me free.

Allow the wisdom to remain,

But the sting I shall never feel again.

By the power of three times three,

As I do will, so mote it be.

Take a glorious deep breath and smile.

Additionally, use November’s Full Moon as a time to cleanse out items that don’t bring you joy. Don’t feel the need to hold onto an item out of guilt or fear. I used to hold onto gifts I didn’t want or like for years! Now I don’t as let’s be honest, your home isn’t a place to store guilt or negative feelings, it’s a place for joy and happiness.

So purge that “stuff”, donate it, leave it out for someone else, regift it – just let it go okay?

And if you want to explore more spells, rituals and learn how to really connect to your spirit and magick, come join the amazing community over in The Creatrix Circle.

Okay, enough chuntering let’s crack on with the reading. So when I went to the cards and asked who wanted to come and guide this week and share their wisdom, the wonderful Kitsune stood up front and centre.

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them. Welcome to the Kitsune, the shapeshifters, the foxes and the magickal beings of immense and divine power, rich with Foxfire light. They are here to help you. They care, in their wily way, about interacting with us. They wish to light your way with Foxfire. They year to connect with you, to rekindle the sacred flame within you. For you. This is their promise to you. For you are like the ancient wanderer in the forest who has at some time been very kind, for no good reason, and at no small inconvenience to yourself. And Kitsune have noticed this kindness, and so now they come to you, with their messages and their blessings, with the rice of abundance and the ancient flame with its power to bring us back to life. They wish for you to know the wisdom and the secrets and the powers that lie within you. These are the grains of rice that will feed your soul with golden light, with Foxfire, whose origins are ancient, until you shine once more like the bright soul you are.

So my gorgeous one, just breathe and allow yourself to settle. As your breathing slows, invite into your mind’s eye your gorgeous divine light and ask for guidance with what you need to release on this Eclipse Moon. If you need a bit of support tapping into this energy there’s a lovely guided visualisation to support you.

Then, when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Come, let’s look shall we?

THE GOLDEN MOMENT

The Golden Moment occurs when, in one sublime convergence, all that has troubled or caused hardship falls away, and the rewards of all that you have done simply are available to you, in a lovely time of wellbeing, good fortune, and joy. This is a place in which we are filled with the light of possibility, yet we are no longer under the strain of effort and the pressure of former days.

The golden moment is to be felt and experienced, as it cannot be created or forced – it is akin to the energy of a holiday with friends, when there is true delight, a lack of complications, and an effortless ease. There is companionship that is soulful, emotional interactions that are true and without conflict and defence, and a sense of community and family around you.

The whole world seems to be conspiring to make you happy – happy because you have an inner contentment, a sense of belonging in your own skin, and the people who you love, love you in return. There is a sense of flowering, growth, and coming to a kind of ripeness at this time.

Enjoy the golden moment, for it is sometimes fleeting, so allow it to replenish you, nurture you, give you back a true sense of all that is possible in life, and sustain you through the days of change that lie ahead. While there will be other challenges to face in the future, for now, you are held, supported, loved, and cherished by the Universe in ways that are immediately tangible.

SHARING YOUR WISDOM

There will soon be opportunities for you, dear one, to share your wisdom with others. This wisdom is timeless, but it has come about because of your experience and your knowledge, gathered over lifetimes. It is simple and distilled, uncomplicated and without the desire to seem grand or mystical. It is the kind of wisdom that grandmothers and grandfathers who have travelled close to the veil for a very long time can pass along.

It is not resigned, nor is it fierce. There is a calm to it, and a value to it that is precious beyond words. Within this life, friend, you have walked with dragons, loved and lost, been cast out, and risen again and again to so many challenges. Now as you grow older in years, you can mentor and share, guide and teach, kindly and without ego or the need to impress the others who wish to know how to navigate the dark forests of this lifetime.

Take your time, and speak with those who need help. Share with those who are ready to listen. Keep the magick of the world alive by sharing your belief in the energetic realms and helping others understand that beyond what can be seen with the eyes are powerful ones dwelling just at the edges of our earthly experience – the old ones, the dragons among them.

Fear not that no one wants to hear your words. They are needed, and your stories will be valued and shared and change the lives of those they touch. Speak now, and let the others listen, for you have walked between the worlds, and we long to hear the stories of your adventures.

THE NOBLE ONE

This speaks to you of your own inner nobility, the desire to be not only a good person, but also your wish to be an honourable one, and you are reminded of your own desire to bring good deeds to the world. You will keep calm when all about you fall into patterns that are of no use to any, except the howl of their own inner, wounded child. You will tend to your wounds, get the help that you may need, and become a better person.

You are part of the new day for the world, and you are to be recognised for your goodness. You have chosen right action and stood by a code of honour, which has led you to offer the world a series of acts of nobility.

Every act of nobility is no act of martyrdom – you continue to speak your truth, but without rancour and bitterness. Instead you shine with the possibility of what it could be like to be a great being. Through this process, you grow and nurture your own good luck. While you work on your own flaws and challenges, others see you as evidence of goodness within the world. They will seek you out and your services will be sought after, as you have developed a reputation that shines and will remain untarnished.

You are soon able to open up, share who you are, and welcome more affection and true intimacy into your life because you have done the work your soul required of you, thanks to your sojourn with the realms of Kitsune. Your own deep self-love has created a field of energy all about you that is attractive, resonant, and full of noble empathy.

At this time, connect and pray to your own Higher Self, and be reverent of the very simple truth of being alive and awake.

Woosah! Amazing messages for this week, I love it! So gorgeous one, I wish for you a week of release. Release of fears, burdens and angst. May you breathe in how frigging awesome you are and let the dross go with this glorious Beaver Moon Eclipse. Massive hugs and squeezes – oh and warm soxs!

How to Make the Goddess Laugh! The Magickal Book of Samhain is Here and the Doors are Open!

Jenny Heston · 5:03 pm ·

Happy Miraculous, Mysterious, Magickal, Mystical, Melancholy, Magnificent, Misty, Merry, Manifesting Monday!

So have you ever heard the saying “How do you make the Goddess/God laugh? – Tell her what your plans are!”

Yup, that basically describes my last week! The plan was to have the Magickal Book of Samhain out by Friday of last week and the doors open to the amazing community in The Creatrix Circle, but guess what?

First it was food poisoning, followed by intermittent power outages (that lasted hours), mixed in with an upper respiratory thing that slammed my sorry arse and delightfully topped off with winds of 120km/hr! Can you say – are we having fun?!!!!!

So I surrendered into the energy of Samhain, as it’s very clear things have turned inward. You can see it in the trees & the gardens, and you can feel it in your spirit. We’re drawing inward and our inner lives want our attention. This is the time of year to get comfortable with your inner life. This is where the work is for the next few months. So that’s what I did.

And guess what?

Here we are today with a magnificent Magickal Book of Samhain ready to go. 45 frigging pages of lore, stories, kitchen witchery, crystal witchery, rituals to do solo or with others, a guided visualisation where we witness The Wild Hunt and ways to celebrate your ancestors and step into the warm darkness that is unfolding! And as you know, I love to give gifts, so this gorgeous one is on sale for over 70% off her normal price!

And yes, (thank you for all the emails) the Doors to Creatrix Circle are Open! They haven’t been open for 6 months, but it is time. It is time to step through the portal, deepen into yourself, discover an amazing like minded tribe of incredible women and join us for our Samhain gathering (and all sorts of other amazing events and workshops that are coming up!) Are you ready?

For those who are joining Creatrix Circle these bundles will be free to you for the year (there are 8 – 10 bundles of marvelousness)!

So even though the Goddess threw lots of little challenges in my path as if to say – you sure you want to do this? Once I surrendered the time line things unfolded beautifully! Lol.

So besides being pig wiggly excited about all of this, I am absolutely pig wiggly tickled about the fact that Samhain is almost here!!! (You may know it as Halloween) and I love, love, love Halloween. The smells, the leaves, the costumes, the decorating – the whole nine yards! In fact Danu (the dog) will even be dressed up as a shiny red dragon! (She is not impressed, lol).

The festival of Samhain begins on the night of the 31st and is the first winter festival where we celebrate with fire, eating and honouring the dead. In many places, Samhain coincides with the end of the growing season. Vegetation dies back with killing frosts, and therefore, literally, death is in the air. Now I know some people get a tad tweaky when we talk Death, but death represents a release, whether it’s a release of breath, a release of habit, a release of a relationship. That’s all it is.

And if you think about it, why do we decorate our yards with skeletons and ghosts?

This contributes to the ancient notion that at Samhain, the veil is thin between the world of the living and the realm of the Dead and this facilitates contact and communication. If you remember, last week we explored what The Thinning of the Veil means and 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.

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.

So do you see how potent this time is?

And it only gets stronger and stronger for the next few months! Whoot!

Okay, I have chuntered on so let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide I giggled when I saw the glorious guides of Oracles of Shadow and Light were front and centre. Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to) Wisdom for Misfits, Mystics, Seekers, and Wanderers. Bittersweet…Unheard…Unconventional…Rebellious…Cheeky…Whimsical…Invisible. They’re not the words you often hear associated with the spiritual world, are they? Nevertheless, some of the most spiritual beings who have ever lived are those who have been most at odds with what we call the mainstream. They do not fit in. They have had moments of despair. And they know being truthful, and being real, is one of the greatest strengths and spiritual paths of all! They ask you to step out from the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and to consult with an oracle that acknowledges your individuality and strange genius!

How’s that for a warm welcome?

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are:- Black Moonstone – a powerful connection to the Divine Feminine, Black Madonna, helpful to the oversensitive. Moonstone – mystery, self discovery. Mystic Merlinite – can awaken those parts of the mind that are dormant and activate the full potential of the mind.

Woosah. So darling one, take a moment, or two or three. Allow yourself to just BE and with the energy of the inward journey, the ancestors and the warm darkness swirling in your mind’s eye breathe into that space. What do you need to release? What words do you need to hear? What fears need to be allowed to drop like leaves from the trees?

If you want to go deeper there is the amazing Wild Hunt visualisation available for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

GHOSTS OF THE PAST

At a masquerade ball, you see a beautiful young woman who has taken off her mask. The second she did so, people from her past invaded her party. Some are teachers, some are friends, and others are people she’d rather not see again. One reminds her of being sick once, and others remind her of many other challenging moments in her life. Why is this beauty surrounded by so many reminders at this present time?

She speaks and shares: “All about me are ghosts of the past, come here, perhaps, so I can finally lay them to rest! I have taken off my mask, and I know who I am, while they are still wearing theirs and still very much as I left them so long ago.

It seems I must turn and face them and make peace with them, perhaps even going over some old ground before I can move on to fresh fields. I have an urge to put my mask on, and mingle with them as I was….butI will not. I will be who I am now, and meet them without pretence, and show them who I have become. I am no longer afraid of the shadows in my past. I am at peace with all that I have been and all that I am.

We all have life themes, and we all have challenges and patterns – but the trick is to move through them quickly and to learn from them permanently. These ghosts with masks are here to show you what or who needs an adjustment in your life. A clearing, where you make peace with people you feel you may have wronged, is in order. None of us is perfect. All of us need to forgive and be forgiven.

This is the cause of the indecision you are now facing: the ghosts of the past are haunting you. The time for hiding who you are and pretending to be “normal” and “just like everyone else” is done!

LANTERN FAIRY

This sweet fairy is showing you a way through a barrier you have reached in your life. This may be in any area of your life – but it does feel that you have come up against a very solid obstacle. This gentle fairy, with her bright lantern, can take you to a place in this wall that has already come down, so you can move through this obstacle without force or fear. Your only requirement is to trust this fairy and then to take down several bricks after you have moved through so the wall between this world and the next, your love and your life, becomes slowly less and less solid. The wall is coming down: this is the fairy’s role, to help you move beyond the wall. Trust her. She will guide you.

Sometimes, people say you should be cautious about where information is coming from. And that is indeed true. I am simply holding up the lantern I carry and gently letting you see the likely outcome of the decisions you are making and offering a clear solution to the problem at hand. Something has come to an end. A true end, and you have, as they say, hit the wall. You could try digging under it, or climbing over it, or you could try taking down the wall brick by brick. But if you follow me, I can show you a place where the wall has already come down, and where you can move through this obstacle without pain. My guidance is safe, clear, and gentle. I am here to clear the way and light the path. It is up to you whether you make it harder than it needs to be.

Old patterns are being removed, little by little, but will need your trust. Old shielding against certain energies needs to be replaced and reworked, as it is no longer in line with what you wish for and in fact may be proving to be a barrier, which is keeping you isolated instead of protected. Trust where the light leads you – go where you can feel true love, kindness, and freedom. Avoid all that comes from anger, hatred, judgement, blame and ridicule.

SHALLOW GRAVE

This beautiful young woman is missing someone deeply, and she knows, perhaps for the first time, what it is to lose someone. Missing someone can be very hard. It feels like a physical ache, and our hearts can indeed be broken, because we humans have the capacity to connect like no others in the universe: we love, and we love so deeply that that love can continue even when the form we loved is no longer with us.

It is time to acknowledge just how deeply you have yearned for someone’s return, and how much that person’s loss has affected you. That being could be a friend, a pet you loved or a grandparent or parent who has left, and missing this is so strong it sometimes is a physical hurt. There is a deep sadness here, and it cannot be eased by denying its presence. And once this is done, you can put what is missing to rest, and visit from time to time, but know that you have been truthful with yourself, and that your sadness will change and be a part of your life’s beauty, not its pain.

She shares with you: “It is time to let something go, but before you do, let’s take a moment to acknowledge what this was to you, know that this meant so much, and that by returning it to the past, rather than yearning for it in the present, you are creating a future that has greater freedom to it.

There are opportunities for fresh starts all the time. Every day, in a sense, gives you a clean slate. For you, this sense of starting over is immensely important after you have grieved. You need to feel that something has been laid to rest and will no longer trespass on the present. Life is kind of like that – so much of what happens isn’t about what’s actually happening – but thankfully, you will blossom and grow with fresh relationships and love after mourning this lost one.

Working with the element of earth is most beneficial. You may wish to plant a memory tree: something earthy and growing, that changes, to commemorate your lost love. As it grows and changes, you will heal, and memories will be sweet and sad, without bitterness and pain. The earth takes forms, and changes them, and gives back to us what we let go of in new forms.

Wowzer, wowzer, wowzer. What fabulous messages for this time, Samhain, the inward journey and where we are at this moment in time. So most gorgeous bean, I hope you join us in The Creatrix Circle, download the Magickal Book of Samhain and really connect to yourself, your ancestors and the season that is unfolding in front of you. Be gentle with your gorgeous self and know that you are magickal! Take some time on Samhain to release the old year and welcome in the new one. Big hugs and squeezes!

The Moon is Filling, The Veil is Thinning, Samhain is Coming and the Doors are Opening!

Jenny Heston · 6:30 pm ·

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.

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

Recognise your brilliance.

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. Trust should not be broken. Ask your Owl totem to sit on your shoulder and guide you. Become the conscious student of Owl. Embrace your gifts and fly with the masters

Open your inner vision.

You can see through deception.

Let the past go and make room for a better life.

Happy Thanksgiving and Healthy Boundaries!

Jenny Heston · 11:47 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Mesmerising, Marvelous, Musical, Majestical, Manifesting Monday!

How are you gorgeous one?

Here in Canada it is Thanksgiving and there wasn’t meant to be a reading this week – but Spirit had a different idea!!!! So along with the most massive pumpkin pie ever – we have a reading!

So let me ask you a question, okay?

Do you give yourself permission to have healthy boundaries, to speak your truth with compassion and to nurture yourself? If not – why not?

I ask this (with Thanksgiving in mind), as this last week I have had multiple conversations with amazing people who allow their boundaries to be ignored by family, friends, colleagues and then reap the sense of overwhelm, regret and feeling dismissed.

So as the week unfolded (with Thanksgiving weekend rapidly approaching), a niggling started, and then got bigger and bigger. Then it finally erupted mid week with “I don’t want to have to cook Thanksgiving dinner!” Which shocked the shit out of me as I love celebrating most everything and I love the people that I spend time with.

However, we had a birthday gathering two weekends ago which was fabulous. We had a gathering in August as my brother was here. We had a gathering in July to celebrate someone, and then the Solstice gathering in June. All amazing, all wonderful, all I loved and all a lot of work! One day is filled with errands, grabbing ingredients and cleaning. The next day is filled with cooking, hosting and organising and then the day after is clean up. Poof, 3 days gone!

So as this burbling of “I don’t want to host Thanksgiving” kept growing and growing so did my anxiety about how it would be received, and the guilt of letting people down and all the other bullshit stories that can swirl in our heads (aren’t they lovely?).

And then I remembered the phrase that has been walking with me for a while “Tenderly Fierce”.

That place of staying open and vulnerable with a tender heart whilst allowing compassion for all things and people, including self, while fiercely protecting our boundaries.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Thus, I shared with the kids, family, friends –”I love you but I really just want to do my own thing this weekend. I need some space and don’t want to be on deck for anyone else. I want to play, paint, hike, read, relax, write and watch the leaves dance with no agenda, no schedule and not committing to anyone other than myself.”

It was so amazing to see the response! Most of them got it, and really appreciated the fact that I had shared my boundary with them! (The mothership certainly didn’t, but that’s not a surprise).

So I revelled in the time! I went out and watched the sun rise and light up all the gorgeous leaf colours. I yomped with Danu, exploring new places whilst revelling in the glory that surrounded me. I’ve painted, written, gardened, made an amazing crystal necklace and a delicious Thanksgiving feast for one of all the foods that I wanted to eat (and no it didn’t include Turkey).

I’ve danced, lit candles, put on good music and just spent time BEing, Playing and Refuelling.

And you know what? It made me even more Thankful this Thanksgiving. It made me Thankful that I have released the trauma response of not being allowed boundaries from my family of origin. It made me Thankful for my kids and friends who totally appreciate it and get it. It made me Thankful that using my voice and practicing being Tenderly Fierce are part of who I am. It made me Thankful that I had time to play. It made me exceptionally Thankful for where I live and the gorgeous places to explore and play in.

So you may be thinking to yourself – ummmm, Jenn why the heck are you talking about boundaries?

So gorgeous one, I hope you take time to really look at your boundaries (they aren’t walls btw). Healthy boundaries are a crucial component of self-care. That’s because in work or in our personal relationships, poor boundaries lead to resentment, anger, and burnout.

And I want you to find your voice, whether it is with speaking about your boundaries, your truth, your thanks and gratitude or your pain. Okay?

Now enough chuntering from me, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards to ask who would like to be present this week it made my heart smile to see who showed up. The amazing Faery Blessing guides were most adamant. As after all, who doesn’t need a Blessing?

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

Faeries are present in every droplet of water, every blade of grass – they are everywhere there is a trace of nature – thus every field, flower, and forest is theirs. They inhabit the wild rainforests and the old castles; they dance within standing stones and burial mounds; they are on the top of mountains and within the grove deep in the valley; and they appear in the cracks in the pavement and beneath the cities in the old, tangled tree roots. Faeries are part of this world, and they were here before we were born into this world, and they know us better than we know ourselves.

For humans, many of us have lost our sense of play, our sense of relationship with nature, our courage to be ourselves – as well as our hope, creativity, and personal power. We have looked outside of ourselves and nature and the sacred ones for answers, and in doing so, we have become quite lost. The blessings of the faeries can bring us back into relationship with ourselves, back into relationship with the elements and the elementals, so that we can become more at home within the world, while creating a personal world which supports our dreams, our wishes, and our purpose.

Yes! Positively perfect!

So gorgeous one take a breath. Just a normal breath and then as you carry on breathing allow it to slow down. Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Allow in your mind’s eye a rising of your gorgeous heart, your voice and a beautiful circle of silver light around them. Allow this silver light to grow stronger, with you in the center and let that space be filled with all the things you are thankful for. Let the silver circle become a delicious healthy boundary. As you breathe just let it swirl, you don’t have to control it.

Then with this energy pick the card or cards that call to you. What Blessing is for you this week?

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

A BLESSING ON THE HEART’S CALLING

The Faery Gift of Living from the Truest and Most Pure Call of the Heart

For faeries, what the heart wants, in its purest form, is the right thing to desire. But for humans, we have long practiced smothering the heart with the voice of reason, most often not our own voice, but the voices of others, of cultures and governments and of groups of people who fear nothing so much as hearing the heart’s deep call. And so, with this gift of the faery comes the gift of hearing again the heart’s deep call and having the courage and commitment to follow it, no matter where it may take us. The heart’s deep call will never drive us to a destructive relationship or a hurtful scenario. It is not going to sacrifice our spirit to the making of money or the stifling of creativity. The heart’s deep call, the true call, is beyond this, and will only take us in the direction of the dreams we are meant to fulfil this lifetime.

The faeries can now, with this gift, slowly lift the mist that covers the shining heart within you and open you up to that deep listening to your own self, and help you to value the song of the heart that has been singing to you since before you were born. For the faeries have heard the song of your heart, and have wondered at the difference between its call and the life you have lived thus far. With this gift, your life will move more into accord with the heart, and you will begin to live from that deep, true place – with integrity, with fulfilment, without foolishness or following another, for your own heart will guide you and never ask you to sacrifice yourself to the creation of the dream of another. The faery’s gift is of the heart’s deep call to you, friend. May its song bring you every blessing.

A BLESSING OF THE LIMINAL SPACE

The Faery gift of Gateways, Sacred Sites, Enchanted Times.

Dear Faery Friend, you have reached a great moment, the point where you can receive the blessing of the liminal space and time. The gateway, the moment, the choice is her. Let the liminal, the in-between, become more and more apparent to you. May the blessings of the sunrises, with their dawn colours and sweet beginnings, be yours. And may the sunsets, with their richness and splendour and their message of coming rest be yours, too. May the in-between spaces, the places where the faeries can reach you so easily, and where you can discover your own inner magick be yours.

To be blessed with the liminal is to be blessed with the deeper magick of the natural world, to have the ability to step outside of human rush and stress and worry and deeply experience the quiet spaces within nature that are so often offered, yet o rarely accepted.

Find yourself within the sacred grove, with the old, wise trees; find the space between the worlds and walk a while with the guides and faery kin who love you and wish to be of assistance to you.

Find your way into the magick of your own life and soul, and leave behind the push and stress that strips the world of its magick. May your intuition flow easily and accurately, may there be a sense of deep peace and trust with the world, and may you know that there is an abundant well of magick and faery wisdom awaiting you, every day, every hour, within these sacred spaces and places.

Find the space in between, find the magick that dwells within, find the faery circle in the field, and let yourself be blessed again and again with the blessings of the enchanted ones, the sacred spaces that lie all about us.

THE BLESSING OF THE MOTHERS

The Faery Gift of a Time of Unexpected Gifts and Wonderful Synchronicities.

When this blessing comes to you friend, you receive the blessing of the Mother, the ancient faery being of the land known today as Wales. With this blessing comes recognition for your own kindness and generosity, and so now you will find yourself blessed with the unexpected gift. The old tales tell us that the Mother will reward those who are kind and caring, especially those who care for the land and for the animals. And so to you they are sending a boon – a gift of treasure found in a hidden place, a warm cloak on a ol day offered by a stranger, money readily oing to you in strange and lovely ways, and ease of suffering in an area you thought had no hope.

The blessings of the Mothers are unpredictable, as they will see your own life and what they will bring to you is what your soul most needs to feel solace and blessings. If you have felt like thr has been a run of “bad luck”, this will now lift and transform into an effortless flow of all that is good. Every small kindness you have offered others will now flow back to you. And in mysterious ways, you will see how what was once done of simple goodness is now returning to you, threefold.

For the faeries see you, know you, and acknowledge your heart, and the Mothers are now with you, to bring you the bendith y mamau – the gifts of the Mothers – so when they appear, give thanks, and know that nothing goes forgotten and unseen in the realm of the enchanted ones.

Blessings, and may the gifts of the Mother bring you comfort and goodness, friend.

Oh how deliciously perfect for this moment in time! So gorgeous bean, I wish for you a most glorious week. Use your voice, practice your boundaries and know that you are sooooo worth it. Happy Thanksgiving! Sending you huge hugs and squeezes. See you next week.

October is here, the energy has shifted, so what does that mean for you? Lots and Lots!!

Jenny Heston · 10:26 pm ·

Happy Mysterious, Magickal, Mellow, Merry, Musical, Misty, Manifesting Monday!

Before we start, do you remember Sesame Street? Every show would be brought to you by the letter something. Thus, this week’s post and reading are brought to you by the letters “RE”. (You will quickly see what I mean!)

October is here and here she came flooding in with brilliant blue skies, leaves that are rapidly changing into brilliant hues of oranges and reds and a lot of Chutzpah! So what does this mean for you? Lots and Lots! Lol.

October brings a big shift in energy, we have 6 planets in retrograde (yup 6!), a New Moon on Wednesday, Canadian Thanksgiving, doors to Creatrix Circle opening in a few weeks and Halloween (Samhain) – a time when the veil is very thin.

So grab a cuppa and let’s have a look at all these pieces shall we, so that you can move through this month with grace and ease.

Okay, let’s start with the energy shift of October. We are being asked to step into the energy of Release-Reinvent. (Doesn’t that sound exciting?) As Lena shares:- This month we get to see what we are made of, where our commitments are, who and what supports us, and whether we are on the right track or not. We get to go through the excruciating process of letting go of old beliefs, wounds, possessions, comfort, illusions, identities, dreams and attachments. We are releasing on a deep level whether we like it or not.

This is the birth canal of our new story. It’s dark, uncomfortable, pressurized and scary, but there is no going back. The new story is in the unfamiliar landscape we are birthing ourselves into, highly creative and full of raw potential. If you can get out of the fear and negativity, judgment, blame and disappointment, you will feel highly energized, inspired and excited about what you can reinvent for yourself.

In some ways this is a pivotal month with such a powerful focus on transformation that it is impossible to avoid it. You can ease the discomfort by being proactive and disciplined about how you manage your release and reinvention.”

How does that make you feel?

So now let’s look at the 6 planets that are retrograde. We have Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Now before you dash off to hide in the closet keep in mind what a retrograde can bring. When a planet is Retrograde, it’s energy becomes more inward. During this inward phase, we have the opportunity to review or reflect our ‘inner-self’ as it relates to the past. We also have the opportunity to RElease, REview, REinvent, RElax, REassess, and REalign.

Which to me are all amazing things, yes?

However, do notice the energy for October is Release and Reinvent and now with 6 planets retrograde this is being compounded even more. Okay, let’s move onto the New Moon in Libra that happens on Wednesday October 6th.

With this Libra New Moon we have four cosmic bodies in Libra, creating a stellium and bringing the element of air strongly into our awareness.

The element of air rules over our thinking processes, and can be fuel for inspiring ideas and new ways of thinking about things. The strong element of air can also stir the winds of change, guiding us to open our minds to new possibilities or opportunities.

It will also ask you to spend some time in introspection. Looking inwards and seeking balance. What needs to be REleased to come to that place of balance? What can be shed in order for you to move forward with ease and joy? This is a great time to REconnect to your internal compass and decide what you wish to carry and what you want to leave behind.

So my gorgeous one, do you see now why I said this reading was brought to you by the letters RE? There are so many wonderful opportunities this month, and especially this upcoming week to really spend time in that delicious space of REleasing, REflecting and REaligning. And it doesn’t stop at the end of this week by any stretch, but with the New Moon it is the perfect time to make some very intentional New Moon wishes.

This upcoming weekend it is Thanksgiving here in Canada. The time (yet again) to REflect, REceive and REmember all the things that you are grateful for (and to also eat some amazing food)!

Then the week after that the doors to Creatrix Circle will be opening to welcome amazing women who really want to deepen into their path, whether it is that of the Witch, the Wise Woman, the Healer of the Mystic. An incredible community where we REmember our true stories and unpack our magick and power. So I am very excited about that as we haven’t opened the doors for 9 months! I’m also thrilled that the doors will open in time for new members to join in our Samhain gathering.

Then last, but certainly not least, is Halloween (Samhain). My most favourite holiday and celebration. Samhain is the festival at which we honor our ancestor of blood and destiny. Samhain reminds us to awaken to our fullness and shed any outmoded forms of being so that we can shapeshift into a new reality.

So my darling one – there is lots happening this month (and we will delve into things deeper as the weeks go on).

With all this being said, let’s crack on with the reading. Phew!

This week we have amazing new guides who want to share their wisdom and insight with you this week. Ready? Let me introduce you to the amazing Sacred Traveller guides.

Your life is a spiritual quest that may be fraught with uncertainties; however, it’s through this sojourn that you transform, heal, and bring greater love and awareness into your life and into the world. Your encounters on the pilgrimage of life are conduits that can transport you to the heart of God and beyond. At every turn on your path, you have a sacred companion at your side, giving you powerful advice. This loving escort is akin to your soul; it’s your Sacred Traveler. The Sacred Traveler constantly whispers to you – through signs, synchronicities, and symbols around you – and also communicates through spontaneous thoughts that nudge at the edge of your consciousness. Your life and the experiences you have are not an accident – there’s a plan for you, and you have a destiny.

So my darling one, settle into your bones. Breathe yourself back to your body and just let your breath slow on it’s own accord. As you take a moment or two to centre, invite into your mind’s eye the Release you need, the Realign you desire and what that looks like for you, breathe those in.

If you need a bit more support there is a lovely guided visualisation to help you into this space.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to your heart and soul.

Did you remember to pick?

Come and see what they want to share with you.

FOGGED IN

Sometimes the mist and fog are so thick that the traveler feels uncertain about everything. Where am I going? What am I meant to do? Why can’t I see what’s ahead? However, it’s in those moments of “Unknowing” that the deepest and most profound answers to life’s big questions can emere.

The secret is to traverse slowly and carefully so as to not fall off the path. Be careful. Proceed with caution in all things as you sense the best direction. Listen to the whisperings of your soul. Trust your inner voice.

Even if you can’t see what’s around the next corner, go forward, slowly and gently. You are safe. When you take the time to go slowly, new perceptions emerge that you can’t see if you’re moving fast. Move away from the rapid pace of everyday life, and step into the majesty of stillness.

Resist the impulse to go ahead with your first instinct. Take time to tune in to your deeper intuition. Power is born in those times when you relax into the present moment.

WATCHING CLOUDS

There are times when the most empowering thing the traveler can do is to step off the path, stretch out, and lie on the earth to watch the clouds float by. This act is renewing and regenerating. When all the activity of the road diminishes and the traveler allows a languid relaxation to emere, this is most often the time when the presence of Spirit can be felt.

This is also the time when significant signs appear. Whatever is most relaxing to you – stretching out in a hammock, watching clouds, taking a candlelit bath, or walking on the seashore – do it….and the challenges in your life will diminish and often simply drop away.

Lie back. Relax. Put everything aside and take time to renew your energy. It’s often when you totally relax that new insights and awareness can emerge.

Take deep, full breaths. Put your feet up. Be present in each moment. Do nothing. Watch clouds. The answers that you seek will emerge easily, but first you need to stop all activity. Take naps. Evaluate your life.

VALIANT COURAGE

The sacred traveler sometimes experiences the unexpected on the road. Perhaps a bear appears or someone with less than pure intentions emerges from the woods. Courage doesn’t mean that you’re not afraid. It means that in spite of fear and hesitation, you take action. Face your anxiety and go beyond the boundaries of limited perceptions of yourself.

Any journey of the heart needs courage, and you’re on such a journey. It takes bravery to go forward when you can’t see around the next corner, but do it anyway. Do not allow yourself to be limited by the beliefs of others or even your own limiting beliefs. Go beyond the boundaries of self imposed barriers.

Live passionately, valiantly and courageously.

This isn’t the time to be timid or hold back. Gather your inner resources and go forward gallantly with your banner of truth waving in the wind. Throw your shoulders back and move forward fearlessly. Take risks. It’s okay to feel afraid, just don’t let it stop you. Don’t play safe.

Opportunities will pass you by otherwise. Speak up for yourself. Honour your truth. You are a light bearer for others. Through your example, people find and act on their truth with courage and grace!

Oh my golly goodness! You seriously can’t make this shit up! What perfect guides for this time!!! So my gorgeous one, I wish for you a week where you too play with the letters RE, and allow yourself the time and space to Release, Reflect, Realign and Receive. Sending you massive hugs and squeezes!

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.

Do you give yourself permission to have healthy boundaries, to speak your truth with compassion and to nurture yourself? If not – why not?

And then I remembered the phrase that has been walking with me for a while “Tenderly Fierce”.
