Valentine’s, New Moon in Aquarius and Year of the Ox! Whoot!

Hello my darling one! Happy Magestic, Magickal, Merry, Marvelous, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday! How are you? How’s your Mercury retrograde going?

Valentine’s day is approaching and the stores are jammed with heart shaped boxes of choccies, little stuffies holding hearts, cookie roses – you name it. All in the name of Valentine’s Day. Have to say it drives me bonkers! Why do we mark this one day out to celebrate love and why only romantic love? Personally I feel we should celebrate love in all its forms daily.

Let’s be honest Valentine’s Day has now become a Hallmark celebration, thanks to Chaucer in the 14th century. His poem “Parliament of Fowls”, written in the late 14th century describes a group of birds which gather together in the early spring – on ‘seynt valentynes day‘ – to choose their mates for the year.

Hence the hallmark holiday which has turned the day into being all about romantic love which can be tough for people if they have lost someone, choose to be single or just want something different. According to legend, Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge, and he wrote her a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell before his execution. The Feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honour of the Christian martyr, Saint Valentine of Rome, who died on that date in AD 269.

So I’ve perked what I want to do for Valentine’s and how I want to share and spread love to those I know and those I don’t, is what I did last year. Meringues!!! Little wee meringue nests filled with whipped cream and topped with a raspberry and then bundled up and gifted to those I know and those I don’t and those who are living in tents.

Why? Because I believe it is important to remind people that they are loved, seen, valued and important, even people you don’t know that you walk past on the street. So if any of you want to come over and help meringues, please do and if you know how to make tin foil swans – let me know.

On Thursday we have a lovely New Moon in Aquarius and at the time of this New Moon we have a Stellium, which is where the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury all in the sign of Aquarius. Can you say one huge energy field?

The last time we had strong Aquarian energy like this was back in the ’60s and it coincided with the hippie counterculture movement. All the things that this movement stood for- equality, peace, and community, are all very much linked to the energy of Aquarius.

Use this energy to raise your vibration, not just for your own wellbeing, but for the wellbeing of all. This is a time to raise your vibration and use it to send healing love to the entire planet.

Your light is so needed. Your soul is here as a chosen one to bring about the shift of consciousness that is slowly unfolding. The shift is inevitable, it is just your opportunity now to ride the wave. Remember, what you focus on expands, so set your dreams and wishes high and outside the box!!!

Have fun playing in this wonderful energy field and create some New Moon wishes!

Friday brings us Chinese New Year and we enter the Year of the Ox. (I love Chinese New Year and we celebrate it full out with little red envelopes, a glorious feast and all sorts).

Ox can save us from disaster, and help reconstruct because Ox is a builder.

So Ox year is the time to follow through and bring to completion what was started in Rat year. Establish a routine, use tried-and-true methods, and stay with a structure that can bring a bountiful harvest in autumn. Daring new concepts will not be well received. So think back to anything you started last year and work methodically and with discipline on it this year.

So with all that being said – let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share their wisdom and insight with you this week, the glorious “Love Your Inner Goddess” guides came out big and bold. Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to).

“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?

DARING DREAMER

You don’t need to adjust your dreams to fit in with what others say is realistic, sensible or practical. Why seek to limit the power of the Universe with negative expectations? Be uncompromising with your heart’s wisdom. Listen to what it wants and yearns for and believe that the Universe has put those desires there and will show you every step to take to fulfil them. Do not allow someone else to make you feel like you should change who you are or what your heart truly yearns for – not even a tiny bit, not even for one single second!

Our world needs daring dreamers to redefine beauty, success and worth. We need brave souls to shake up our cultural values so that we stop hurting ourselves and each other. You can decide what it really means to you to be beautiful, successful and worthy. That’s how you take back control, disempowering the toxic definitions created by others.

You have the awareness and the power to say no to what is unkind, untrue, unwise. You get to invite into your life what actually has value to your soul. Be your divine bad-ass self and give voice to your daring dreams. Use your positive words of power to express your most beautiful dreams and never give up on those dreams, yourself or the world.

Your vision of what is possible is the healing medicine for our future world and the way to your bliss.

LIONESS

Your ability to love yourself and be empowered is maturing. You are learning that the real beauty and value of you comes from within. You are learning to rise above emotional game-playing with honesty. You can enjoy your attractiveness as a person without allowing it to control your life or your sense of self-worth. If others try to control your life or opinions about your appearance, or in any other way, you will be strong enough to recognise it as their issue and nothing to do with you. Others will be attracted to your true inner beauty, appreciating your loveliness and enjoying how it helps them feel good about who they are, too.

Your feminine power is grounded in dignity. She stands against beauty being used as a tool of manipulation – to get something, to control someone, to put someone else down and make them feel unworthy. She knows that such behaviour is dishonourable, taking what was once beautiful and distorting it into something ugly and corrupt.

Lioness is the medicine of honour, of beauty that is enjoyed but not exploited. She is the soul medicine of courage. She refuses to be used as a pawn in another’s game; she refuses to play with the minds and emotions of others. Her ways are direct and open. She is confident in who she is, and she is not afraid to be honest. Even if quietly spoken, your truth has the impact of a roar.

With her confidence in your heart, you can live your life in the open without any need to hide. You are the holder of lioness medicine – a brave one, a huntress, and a protector of dignity, justice and truth.

BE THERE FOR YOU

It’s time to let yourself off the hook. Don’t interpret the behaviour of other people or circumstances outside of your control to indicate something negative about you. Forgive yourself for anything that you feel you have done wrong. You can learn from your choices more easily if you stop punishing yourself whenever you feel that you’ve made a mistake. Even the decisions that we regret can help us grow wiser when we swap judgement for compassion. Sometimes, we can only learn what we need to know from what doesn’t work out so well at the time. Forgive yourself. Have your own back. Be good to you.

You have an open, sensitive, beautiful heart. Sometimes the world cannot meet that heart of yours on equal terms. Sometimes the heart of others are just too closed and afraid. That’s OK because it’s part of why you were born – to help heal and open the hearts of the world. You are wise, and you know your purpose is to shine the beauty of your divine heart freely for all to experience. You never have to close down or turn away from that sacred purpose in the world, but you do deserve to be safeguarded and protected. Know that you have your own back.

When fearful, angry people lash out in pain, trying to hurt others because they cannot get past their own hurt, do not make it about you. Your heart knows how to love you and protect you, whilst it has compassion for the suffering that another may be feeling. Remember that you must be there for yourself, nurturing your own heart with plenty of love. Give to yourself just as you give to the world: with kindness and generosity.

Don’t allow anyone or anything make you forget what is real and true – the wisdom and love that fills your own divine heart and helps heal the world.

Woosah! Wonderful guides for this week as we navigate the New Moon, Year of the Ox and Valentine’s Day. Wishing you a glorious week filled with ease, authenticity, kindness and laughter. Allow any “sticky” emotion out, give yourself love and appreciation and remember to be grateful for even the smallest thing. I personally am exceptionally grateful for you and your presence on this earth. Big hugs and squeezes!

Mercury Retrograde. Imbolc is Here! Post Leo Full Moon.

Jenny Heston · 7:41 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Meditative, Mind-Blowing, Meritorious, Musical, Motivational, Mesmerising, Manifesting Monday! (How was that for alliteration?)

How are you delicious lovely? How was the amazing full moon in Leo for you? After a lovely hiatus filled with creating, writing and just cocooning, it’s good to be back.

So grab a cuppa and let’s natter, yes?

In case you weren’t aware Mercury went retrograde yesterday and will be this way until February 21st. Whoohoo! Now don’t run to the closet, let’s just gently unpack this puppy (so to speak).

Mercury will retrograde in the sign of Aquarius, which is a new energy for us. For the last few years, Mercury has mainly gone retro in water signs. However, throughout 2021 the theme is air signs. Which is interesting as Mercury is ruled by the element of air and earth, so having it retrograde in one of its ruling elements may intensify the experience. So let me share what Tanaaz has to share.

We may feel mentally foggy, confused, or lack the clarity that is needed to make decisions.

Whenever Mercury enters retrograde, especially in an air sign, we have to work a little harder to tame our monkey-mind, and be sure we are not spiraling into a loop of overthinking, or getting trapped in limiting beliefs.

Our task during this Mercury Retrograde season, and the ones to come, will be to acknowledge any mental chatter, observe what needs to be looked at, and learn how to release and let go of the rest.

A prime example was on Saturday over in Creatrix Circle we were having an incredible Imbolc Workshop, yet – for the half hour prior, everything was going to hell in a hand basket. Technology, mind sets, you name it. But come go time – all was good.

So let’s talk about Imbolc!

Okay Imbolc is today!!! Now you may be scratching your head and thinking to yourself – what the heck did she say? Imbolc (yes it does sound like it’s looks). Imbolc is a Celtic fire festival celebrating the emerging life in the world around us as well as the Goddess Brigid who represents the fire of creativity, the protective hearth fire and her firewheel all of which cleanse and purify. Imbolc is a celebration, because for those of us in the mid winter it promises us emergence, growth, renewal and hope and massive cleansing and purification. Imbolc is the halfway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox and occurs on February 1st/2nd.

Okay Jenn, what’s that got to do with me?

Well whether you realise it or not your body is connected to the seasons, to the energy underneath you, around you, above you and in you. Imbolc is one of the seasonal changes on the Wheel of the Year. However, the Wheel of the Year is more than just the seasonal changes from spring to summer to fall to winter. It also encompasses the 8 holidays, or sabbats. Each of these holidays has its own energy and its own place in the cycle that influences.

Imbolc brings us the burgeoning Spring energy that feels like a whisper or a possible promise, it’s the gestation time. Imbolc literally means – in the belly. The time to get clear on what you want to create or bring into your life. If you want to go deeper and explore some rituals and more information on Imbolc, there are some lovely ones here!

Can you feel the fertility that is approaching?

It’s pulsing everywhere, flowers are starting to push up, leaves are gently welling up into buds, seeds will need to be planted. Thus, imagine yourself like a glorious garden – what do you need to push the dross aside and stretch? To really bloom, expand and grow?

When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to support and guide this week, the glorious Faery Forest Oracle were most adamant. I was tickled as yesterday I went exploring the woods, hung out with the trees and just noticed all the little random daffs and crocus that are pushing their way up with vigour!

Now, if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it’s rude not to):-

“Let us enter the wild green world together, friend, the faery forests where the great trees speak with us, the moss soft underfoot, the light pure and gentle. The homes of the once Sacred groves of the Celts, the Saxons, and the Vikings…and to the people who were here long before we had names with which to call them to us – the faerie people. May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.” Lovely!

The crystals that woggled and waggled (like miniature labradors) are:- Bloodstone, K-2 Jasper, Chrysocolla.

You ready? I invite you to just BE and BREATHE (please don’t tell me you don’t have time, as you do). Allow any heaviness to gently drop to the ground as you breathe long, slow and deep. Let it become cosmic compost to feed and nurture something new. Keep breathing this way and think about the seeds you want to sow in the Springtime, what are they? If you need some more support or want to go deeper, there is a lovely guided visualisation for you.

When you are ready and you feel relaxed, pick the card or cards that call to you, nudge you or kick you in the arse!

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

ISA

Winter has descended upon the Faery Forest. You have ceased struggling and fighting to change what is outside of yourself. Because you have relinquished the battle, you have won the war within yourself. You are now suspending activity and being in the moment. Through this stillness and inner consciousness, you are beginning to understand so much of where you have been and where you will go – and because you are fully in the present and allowing, you can also come to a deeper, more peaceful understanding of what it is you want, value, and desire.

This is a moment of complete stillness and simply be-ing: a long moment where you are completely present. You are as still as a chrysalis, hanging seemingly static from a branch, fragile and mysterious. Like the chrysalis, you will “do” nothing – nothing at all, except become yourself. Your transformation is being worked invisibly, on the inside, and when the time is right, you will share it with the world.

In a situation where you seem to have no control, no power, you are learning the most valuable form of power there is – self mastery. You pause with dignity and strength, and simply by doing this you create the right conditions for the right change.

This time will ultimately bring great peace, wisdom, and choices that enrich your life, others lives, and the healing of the world.

THE GREEN MAN

Not so long ago, all was quiet, dark, and cold…..but something has changed, and it will manifest into your world in significant ways – through you, and all around you. This is a time of renewal, a time of new beginnings and connections for you. Your energy will be extending itself easily, and you will fall in love with the new world you are creating. This is a time for you to actively pursue what it is you wish to create in your life and to acknowledge the presence of the powerful new energies all about you.

Each day will bring these changes, and it is as if life force itself is surging through you, and every cell radiates this bright, strong, fierce new energy.

To be effective, this energy must be directed – not tamed, but given places to flow into – and thus you must choose and shape the energies you are experiencing. Nature and its energies shall pour through you and it is necessary for you to quickly begin to shape these forces in meaningful ways.

This is also a time when you no longer see sharp distinctions between what is outside of yourself and what is within – you feel linked, connected, a part of a great natural magickal whole, and this empowers you into brave, open-hearted action.

Go forward and thrive, dear one!

FRIGGA

You are at a moment of great good fortune in this lifetime. You have created for yourself more than enough, and now the goodness that is flowing to you must be invested and used wisely. It is easy to squander youth or beauty or opportunity, as they seem such an eternal gift – but this card is here to share with you that it is time to ensure that this wonderful moment is worked with wisely. Invest in yourself and in your health, create more wealth, learn and study, and also offer your support and investment to worthy others. Take care of yourself, and truly make yourself into who and what you have always wanted to become.

This time will come around again, but it will not last forever – and so Frigga wishes for you to consider the gifts you are being given, the bounty coming to you, and consider with great vision and earnestness what will provide for you and your loved ones in the years to come. Be ready to act!

Your future can be created now – and the present can become so rich and enduring that nothing can shake your ability to continue prospering – your skills, your home, your mind, your body.

Take care of yourself, and watch the good fortune that flows from your wise investment, for many years to come.

Gosh, this made me smile as it’s positively perfect for the energy at this time! So my delicious lovely, I have so many wishes for you this week. May you gift yourself time to focus on your soul’s desires and write them down! May you remember that Spring is coming and take this time to prepare (I have something amazing for you come Spring Equinox!) May you be well, May you be safe, May you be at peace, May you live with ease. Huge hugs and love! (Oh yes, and glorious mugs of tea!)

Solstice, The Great Conjunction, Doors are Closing, And the last Reading of the Year.

Jenny Heston · 12:09 am ·

Happy Magnetic,Magickal, Marvelous, Musing, Merry, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!!!!!!!!

It’s Solstice, it’s Solstice, it’s Solstice! (Can you tell I am uber excited?) Saturday morning I spent time making lovely decorations for the animals that are deliciously edible if you are a bird, racoon, deer etc. So today is off to the woods to hang them all and then some glorious rituals, fire, frankincense, myrrh and dragon blood to welcome back the sun.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments on the Book of Shadows, I am tickled to hear how much you have been enjoying it – and it will take you from Solstice all the way through to the New Year. Also, huge thanks for the comments on the Solstice visualisation, that was such a fun one to do and figuring out how to add music to it was a delightful opportunity for growth!

A few have asked if the doors to Creatrix Circle are closing – Yes. They will close Wednesday at midnight and open again in March. Thus, if you want to surround yourself with an amazing tribe, start deepening into yourself, come and join – we would love to have you.

So here we have The Great Conjunction (which we have been touching on for the last couple of weeks). There are so many things to say about this epic moment, and of course it seems rather typical to have another “different and altering” experience to close off 2020, wouldn’t you agree?

With this Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn we head into a new element (that of Air) and what is referred to as The Age of Aquarius. As Forever shares:-

Aquarius energy allows us to focus on what is good for the whole. Rather than focusing solely on our own needs and wants, we are able to see that we are all connected and that we all need to come together in order to create a better world.

When this energy is in balance, it allows us to create a more peaceful and compassionate world where we are able to put ourselves in the shoes of others, where we are able to create supportive and loving communities, and where we are able to work together and share common goals.

This is the Age of Aquarius utopia that has been sung about and talked about for decades. This is the better life we can envisage for ourselves, where we are all honored for our individual spark but then also connected and working together as a whole and for the greater good.

Both Jupiter and Saturn coming together in this conjunction is like the Lord of Karma meeting the planet of expansion. Here, Jupiter is able to shine a light on all of our Saturn lessons. It is able to soften them, make us see them with more clarity, but also in many ways, expand them.

As the Jupiter Saturn conjunction is so pivotal, this energy affects us on a global level too. It is almost like Earth is waking up to its karma. In many ways, our entire planet is advancing to a new level and looking for debts to be paid.

Whatever our collective Earth karma is, this Great Conjunction has arrived to set things into balance.

This in turn is a delicious invitation to all of us to look at this time to see what in our own lives, families, communities and work needs to be brought into balance. Then when this is uncovered, taking new seeds and planting them in the warm darkness of this Solstice time, to create and weave something new.

I have been saying all year – we are all in this together and what is no longer true or authentic has to fall away. This is the time of the collective, connection, collaboration and creating something new! Whoot! (So excited!)

Which makes this the last reading of 2020. As I am now doing what I am told, lol (yeah it happens sometimes), and taking this time to rest, be still, create and listen. So I will be back in the New Year-ish.

Okay, enough chuntering away. This week we have fantabulous new guides to support us. When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share, I was tickled pink to see the guides that were adamant, they have never shown up publicly before, but they were super clear it was their time. So please let me introduce you to the amazing Fairy Blessing Guides.

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! Perfect guides for today and this time! As always remember, when you receive a blessing you offer a blessing.

So gorgeous one, breathe, breathe yourself here to this present moment. This is the only moment that matters. As your breath gently slows I invite you to ask the question – what needs to come into balance for me? No judgement, no pushing. Just allow it to flow up with ease and gentleness and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

If you really want to go deep you might want to grab the Solstice Visualisation.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see.

A BLESSING OF THE SHINING ONES

The Faery gift so that you, too, shine with an inner radiance.

Let this gift from the Shining Ones bring you blessings of your own abilities to shine the world, beloved one.

You are now given the gift from the realm where once the great Tuatha de Danann, the People of the Land, of the goddess Danu, the old faerie tribes of ancient Ireland, ruled and kept the balance of all things.

They bless you now with the gift you need most at this time. Simply close your eyes for a moment, and see the glow, the radiance emitted by the energy within and all around you.

Now, see that shining self begin to grow stronger, and larger, and more visible to your spirit eyes.

With this gift, your radiance is strengthened, so that now you shine within the world, and can be seen, recognised, and offered good fortune and bounty. Your light is a lamp for the world, and it is beautiful to behold.

This time will bring unexpected kindnesses and easeful movement in achieving goals that are best for your soul, as well as a sense of being recognised and cared for by those who have that touch of shining blood within them, too.

Blessings of the Shining Ones, to you, friend.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING OF STABILITY

The Faery gift of a balance and home that can be found within yourself.

Accept now, faery friend, this blessing of the fae, the ability to find balance, a centre, a home from which strength can spring forth. They who cannot be parted from the land, who resist all who attempt to banish them, who dwell between the worlds, now offer you this gift of balance and stability.

When this gift comes to you, you will be as centred and balanced as the land, with a sense of deep belonging and love of where you are, and a feeling of your home being the safe, joyous, and fulfilling place it can be. When this blessing comes to you, there will be great balance, as you will be connected to the terrestrial, and to the celestial. When this blessing comes, you will find you have the influence and the ability to create what you need within your home and heart, and you will be able to resist any who oppose you or do not understand you.

With this gift comes the ability to find the right location for you, the place within the world where you are meant to be at this moment, and to know that it is destiny at play.

You are of the earth and the stars, faery friend. You are finding your own domain, and you will be blessed with a home that is your own, with a stability and balance within that space, and you will celebrate just who you are, without fear of discrimination or misunderstanding. Healthy relationships can be yours when this blessing comes to you, and strength, power, and influence are yours when this gift is made yours.

Be blessed, friend, with the gifts of the faeries, and know that you will find the place you belong in this world.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING OF A HEALING

The faery gift of a situation or condition being healed in a beautiful way.

To you now is offered the immense faery gift of healing. Faeries heal – they tend to and care for the wounded parts of human hearts and bodies and minds, they care for animals who are unwell and delicate, and they tend the plant world and the allies of the elemental realm. Faeries and their gift of healing is yours now – bring to them your hurts, concerns, and sorrows.

They will help to heal you by sending you sweet, intense charges of energy. They will heal you by bringing to you the plants and the animals and the natural spaces and places that can bring you to a better state.

There is no obligation with this energy; it is pure, and safe, and fresh as spring water or wild strawberries. Let their light now shine upon you, and move to whatever part of you is in most need of comfort and strength. Let the old hurts or pains and challenges be offered the gift of faery help and healing. Let whatever load it is you have carried be lightened with their love. Let there be harmony within your form. Let the healing energy that moves through all the natural world, and is concentrated in abundance within the faeries and their medicine, move to you, through you, leaving you relieved, soothed, healed, and replenished.

Let hurts fade away, and let hope and healing rise again. The faeries are there to assist you, friend. Let the faery gift of healing be yours this day.

BLESSED BE

Woosah! Breathe in the Blessing, offer a Blessing. So most gorgeous one, I wish for you stillness, joy and ease. May your sleep be peaceful and your day be filled with joy and connection. And I will see you in 2021! Big Blessings, Hugs and Squeezes.

Eclipse, Solstice, B.O.W.S, The Great Conjunction and more – Oh My!

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy Marvellous, Merry, Musical, Mystical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Oh my gosh, sooooo much to cover this week and such huge energies coming into play as they layer up on top of each other. Today is a New Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius, we have Solstice next Monday which opens a new gateway and is filled with massive energy, then a Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn where for the first time in 200 years it moves into a new element! Oh yes, and the Book of Winter Solstice is ready and Creatrix doors open for one week! When energies stack up this way, all we can do is be aware and live consciously. So grab a cuppa tea, snuggle down and let’s get exploring.

To help you with really harnessing all this energy and really embodying what these energies are inviting you to do, whilst setting some strong intentions through ritual, magick and knowledge I am pleased to say The Book of Winter Solstice is here! 59 pages of absolute wonderment, so if you had no clue what’s what or how to celebrate it we have you covered! If you think about it, much of what we do now is based on ancient magick and celebration, so it’s important to understand how to work with all of it to create something new. (Trust me your DNA knows this). Oh yes, there is also an incredible guided visualisation to fully support you in weaving a new reality at that time and if that’s all you want, you can receive that on it’s own. Both the Book and the visualisation can be used from now until the end of December.

The doors to Creatrix Circle open today for one week (until the Solstice) and then they close until March. If you have been wanting to deepen your practice, learn more about what it is to walk the way of the witch, wise woman, seer, sage with a like minded tribe, then I highly suggest you check it out.

Okay, let’s get on with this wonderful New Moon Eclipse. The New Moon eclipse makes this a super‑powerful week, so be sure to invest some real energy into your New Moon wishes and intentions. If you’ve never done this before, let me suggest the New Moon bowl.

As Forever shares; “ What you think about expands, and this is doubly true under the power of this Eclipse. While we do have to be mindful of our thought processes on this day, it is also important to remember that being true to ourselves is what we should aim for.

We don’t have to be fake positive. We need to stay rooted in our truth, but in a way that encourages expansion. So, for example, instead of focusing on a mistake or trying to pretend it never happened, you instead acknowledge the mistake with kindness and focus on what you can do now to move forward.”

Thus, as you spend some time with this Eclipse really ask yourself what deep in your being is true for you? What would you like to bring more of that is in alignment with your essence? As this Eclipse offers the kind of restructuring that can steer our lives towards a more honest and meaningful direction

Solstice is next Monday (December 21st) and again the energy is very similar. It’s an invitation into the Sacred Unknown. It’s a call to return to the temple of your own heart. The heart home where you are always safe and free. And from this place to be willing to walk into the dark (your dark), play with the shadows and spend some time really releasing attachments and then picking the new pieces that are in alignment with you to weave something new. (Big question I know). In the Book of Winter Solstice (B.O.W.S.) we walk with the why’s, the hows and the deep meaning that this gateway offers you.

Then the Great Conjunction! (I did tell you there are lots of intense energies in the last part of this year lol). As Chani shares:- On December 21st, right after the solstice, Jupiter and Saturn will form what is known as The Great Conjunction, ushering us into a new era. For the first time in a couple hundred years, this conjunction will take place in a new element, and therefore denotes a paradigm shift. Air is the element of the intellect, the social sphere, and communications. The Great Conjunction occurring on the solstice, a moment historically equated with new beginnings, is a far more powerful initiation than the turning of the clock to January 1st, 2021.

Then we end the year with a Full Moon on December 29th!

Can you say Holy Hannah this is a lot?

The key thing I want you to notice though is all of these wonderful opportunities are inviting you to go back to your heart, to really spend time in it’s warm darkness and find the seeds of something more sustainable, community based and loving to plant.

Breathe honey, lol. So with all that swirling around, let’s crack on with the reading. Then I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share their wisdom and insight with you this week, the glorious “Love Your Inner Goddess” guides came out big and bold. Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to).

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time. Woosah!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

SOUL SISTERS

You are being emotionally and psychologically influenced by the people around you more than you may realise. Sometimes this is good – they uplift and inspire you and help you feel loved and loving. However, sometimes, you can sense that being truly yourself in a situation could result in unwanted conflict, and you undermine yourself to keep the peace. You’ll find that, the moment you stop doing this, some difficulties you’ve been having in moving forward will fall away, almost as if by magic. The relationships worth holding on to can handle a little more truth, even if feathers get ruffled before being smoothed over with love once more.

Some relationships nourish your soul, whilst others damage it. A nourishing relationship has an effect on your soul, just like nourishing food does on your body – it makes you feel good, increases your energy to live your life and enhances your well being.

Healthy relationships for your soul are those that uplift, inspire and help you become more of yourself with fearlessness. They do not drag your spirit down into anxiety and confusion. Some people may love you, but just not know how to be in a relationship with you that is healthy for your soul. With such people, you will either need to show them how to be in your life in a soul-loving way or take extra special care of yourself when you are around them.

Sometimes, this will not be enough to protect you from the negative influence of the relationship, and you will need to walk away. This can be sad, yet it also creates space for your soulmates to enter your life. These are the people with whom you share a deep and real connection. You love each other in a way that frees you to be yourselves. We attract new soulmates into our world by being good to ourselves. Be your own best friend, first. Require respect in your relationships. Then you will find it easy to recognise the people who genuinely love you and invite them into your heart.

ROCKSTAR

You may have a subconscious fear of being judged or becoming the target of jealousy that causes you to shy away from the limelight. You may mistakenly believe that being in the spotlight means you are supposed to be perfect or better than everyone else. There is a higher purpose in standing apart from the crowd and being seen. Choose to accept the opportunities that make you more visible to others, trusting that you will shine your truth and integrity to make it a positive and healing experience for yourself and for others too.

There’s a light in you that wants and needs to be seen,a side of you that is bold, bright and unique. Even if it’s something different for you, or you aren’t sure how comfortable you are going to be on centre stage, sometimes there’s a higher purpose for you being placed in the spotlight.

One purpose can be to develop self-acceptance and self-confidence. Then you can rock your true self without having to tone it down, play it safe or rein it in. You can become so comfortable in your own skin that you no longer hide your inner divine beauty.

Maybe others will then become less afraid to be themselves because you have shown them that being cool is about being cool with who you are, refusing to be stereotyped by people with insufficient imagination. There’s power in the freedom of not fitting in. You rather than someone else, get to decide how you want to live your life. Relish it: be creative with it. You are meant to be free to express yourself authentically and to be seen doing it. So claim your inner rockstar and strut your soul stuff in this world.

BEAUTIFUL BANDIT

You can choose right now to feel good about yourself. If you’ve been beating yourself up, stop it now. Don’t let anyone else decide how you should feel about yourself. Taking responsibility for your actions means that when you have done something that you feel is out of integrity, you do something about it that is constructive and useful. Smaning yourself with judgement, or allowing another to steal your self-esteem, is neither of those things.

The Divine Mother is telling you to forgive yourself and use your energy not to live the best life that you can. It’s time to take your life back.

You are one tough sweetheart, a spiritual gangster,a beautiful bandit, stealing back from the unworthy that which rightfully belongs with you. You have certain spiritual rights that cannot be denied you. Your dignity, power and grace, your sense of beauty and self-esteem, your chosen belief systems, your energy and your right to take up space in this world rightfully belong to your soul. Your faith in your spiritual connection with the Universe and your sense of your life purpose belong to your soul, too. So do your joy, your laughter and your enjoyment of life, your belief in your own purity of heart and the goodness of your own being. Your right to love yourself is owned by your soul, too.

Even when you make mistakes, the great Mother loves and forgives you, knowing that you are doing your best and are her precious one. You have a spiritual right to be free from torment, cruelty and mental anguish. You alone own the right to choose your thoughts and claim your freedom to make your own choices. You are fierce with wisdom.

Anything that you feel has been taken from you unfairly shall be taken back by you. Claim what is yours by spiritual right.

Wowzer! Seriously you can’t make this shit up! So my delicious lovely, I wish for you an awesome Eclipse, do grab the Book of Winter Solstice so that you are ready! Also, if you are interested in Creatrix Circle, the doors are open until Solstice. Have a superb week, remember to keep RE-turning to your heart temple so you can RE-member. See you next week and then I will be back after the New Year. The time between Solstice and New Year is my contemplation, hibernation, listening and creating time. Big hugs and squeezes!

Solstice is coming! Sagittarius New Moon Eclipse, Peace and the Plants.

Happy Moodling, Magickal, Mysterious, Magnificent, Musical, Manifesting Monday!

Solstice is coming and many of you have asked when there will be a Book of Winter Solstice (fondly referred to as BOWS). Next week at the New Moon BOWS will be available! Whoot!

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 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. If you’ve already put the darkness behind you, take your good fortune and share it with others. 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 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.

When my kids were little (I mean wee in age), I sent most of them to the Waldorf school. Why? Because especially in the younger years the Waldorf school encouraged creativity, curiosity, paying attention to the seasons and appreciating that we are connected to everything and that magic is everywhere. I remember a glorious book that I encountered there that depicted how as we enter winter all the little seeds, bulbs and animals would tuck up in the roots deep in the ground where Mother Earth would read them stories and sing them lullabies so they slept long and deep through the snowy, icy days until the temperatures warmed and they could stretch up towards the sun. The imagery was amazing!

Many of you have shared how the Full Moon Eclipse last Monday rocked your world! Well guess what? We have another eclipse this coming Monday on the New Moon! Are you excited lol? Now don’t panic as this Sagittarius New Moon Eclipse brings a positive, lighter, more expansive energy with it. However, we will cover that in more detail next week.

So if you remember, last week I mentioned the first light of Advent being Hope and the Stones and the Bones. This week, the second light of advent is Peace and the Plants.

The second candle of advent has been lit and in traditional religions this is the candle of Peace. So let me ask, what does Peace look like and feel like for you? Is it peace of mind? That sense of calm in you, around you, above you and below you? Feel free to share! In the Waldorf tradition the second light of Advent is the light of the plants. 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.

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.”

What delicious guides for exploring Peace and Solstice. The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are:- Rhodonite, Moonstone and Rhyolite. Yummers!

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?

ISHTAR’S LION GATE 888

Your heart has a heightened connection with the higher realms of consciousness and light. A blessing, empowerment and positive omen shall enter your world. Doors will open for you. Abundance and prosperity are headed your way. Take care of your heart. Ask for spiritual assistance, and it shall be granted. Something negative is going to transform into something very positive.

Ishtar is the Queen of the Night, a dark goddess of loss and letting go, but also a priestess of light, who holds the keys to renewal from suffering. She is relentless in her pursuit of the path to true inner freedom. She willingly surrenders her attachments and her identities, even separating herself temporarily from her loved ones, with such boldness and confidence that she crosses into realms where others dare not go. She experiences vulnerability, and in that state discovers deep truth.

Ishatar is the capacity of the soul to integrate our experiences. After reaching the greatest depths of suffering, she emerges and is reinstated upon her rightful throne with even greater wisdom, spiritual power and compassion. She is a guardian and symbol of resurrection. You shall rise again. Those who have felt as though their identity or any other marker of security has been torn away from them are her children. They will find their way back to peace and prosperity under her auspices. If you have been suffering, an end of the struggle is imminent.

She brings a message of a breakthrough and healing, of a significant lightening up of your life and the end of a deeply challenging cycle in your life. There is a special divine dispensation augured by Ishtar’s Lion Gate 888.

Where hope has been difficult to find, or all seems lost, the light shall return and beautiful blessings are destined to unfold in your life.

AIH SOPH AUR

A way through the struggle has already been created for you, and you are being led onto that path. Your authentic soul path may include recognition and acclaim, notable success and admiration. Be grateful, but do not be dazzled or distracted by such experiences. Focus on what connects you to your heart and grounds you in the simplicity of spiritual truth, which is the practice of love, kindness and peace. This will allow for successful progress in the material world without disturbing the sanctity of your soul.

In the mysticism of the Kabbalah, Ain Soph Aur is the first and truest light. It emerges from the absolute, which is pure emptiness, beyond all characteristics, phenomena and form. The capacity to create something from apparently nothing is one of the definitions of magic. Ain Soph Aur is the Universe pulling rabbits out of hats on a cosmic scale. Because the spiritual light emerges from the spaciousness of infinite potentiality, it is imbued with endless creativity, resourcefulness and spontaneous responsiveness. Whatever is needed is made manifest, provided to the receptive heart and will benefit all beings.

Receptivity is the key to unlocking this white light magic of the Spirit. When we are open to it, surrendered to its wisdom and willing to place that wisdom above our own opinions, we are capable of receiving and benefiting from it. If we are trying to dictate its course, to contrive and control it to meet our needs as we think they should be met, then we are not being receptive. The path of control and dominance is regressive. It is not sacred magic and it is not of the Spirit.

Open your heart to connect with the higher creative and healing intelligence of the light. No matter how much our wounded minds or broken hearts may believe a situation cannot be healed, Ain Soph Aur is always there. It reminds us that, whether we can see it or not, there is a spiritual path through all troubles. That path can be so beautiful we will become profoundly grateful for the struggle which caused us to grow (even if we never wish to repeat the experience).

As you open yourself to what is – even the unexpectedly difficult twists of fate – you will become ever closer to the radiant grace and luminous clarity, which is reassuring you, healing you, guiding you and loving you.

ALPHA OF ALCYONE

A positive twist of fate and a windfall of good fortune are destined for you. Brightness and hope will alleviate negativity and give you the strength to find your way through a time of adversity or challenge. Finally, you will experience peace, love and deep connection with your true self and the Universe. Good things are on their way to you.

The brightest star in the Pleiades star system, Alcone, holds the frequency of love, the sacred feminine healing power of compassion and the grace of mercy. She is the goddess of grace and mercy, especially in the face of heart-wrenching loss. She reassures us that we will find a way through and that there is comfort for us when we need it, even if further work needs to be done before we can be fully released into a new era of happiness.

Alpha brain waves are deep, calming waves. They are what we experience when daydreaming or slipping into peaceful relaxation or meditation. In the alpha state, imagination and intuition are heightened, as such these brain waves are a gateway into the subconscious mind. If we are in stimulation overload, alpha blocking can occur. Learning to consciously switch off and relax by dropping into the 8Hz to 12Hz range helps us melt away stress and tune in to our intuition, without becoming too floaty and unfocused.

Alcyone supports us in relaxing and reconnecting to optimism, even during tough times. In such a state, we will realise that difficulties will eventually come to an end and we will be provided for. A new reality of happiness is available to us even now, as we steadily make our way to the light of a happy new start.

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. The date for Creatrix Circle door opening has been picked and it will be just after the New Moon, so make sure you’re on the waiting list to be kept up to date.

Blessings, Hugs and Squeezes! See you next week.
