Samhain

Samhain, a Time to Dance in the Liminal and Talk With Your Ancestors.

Happy Mischievous, Mysterious, Melodious, Magnificent, Manifesting, Magnetic, Moony, Marvellous Monday!

How has the Eclipse energy been treating you?

We had the Taurus Blood Moon eclipse on Saturday and so many people were reaching out saying “this is tough, WTF!”

Okay, let me give you some Coles Notes on this Eclipse as it ties in with Samhain (which is tomorrow!) Yes, this was a Taurus Full Moon Eclipse, but it’s on the axis of Taurus and Scorpio.

Scorpio is stagnation energy, shadow work and this whole eclipse is inviting you to purge, purify, detox and slow the fuck down. Pay attention to what’s being revealed or you will miss the magic.

Shadow work is where the gifts are and most of us spend 60% of our energy keeping the trapdoor closed on any “shadow work” as we perceive it as negative. It’s not!

This is the time of Shadow work, Ancestral Work, Womb Work, a deepening in and an inward journey. Just saying. It’s also the time to work with the gorgeous archetype of Hekate as she sits at the crossroads.

We had a glorious gathering in Creatrix Circle yesterday to walk into the energy of Samhain, invited in Hekate and the Ancestors.

With Samhain happening tomorrow you need to understand (or not).

We are beckoned to connect more deeply with our inner worlds and the ancestral realms.

The ancestors are near.

The ancient ones are communing with us in long-forgotten tongues.

They are speaking through the fire—through the crackle of wood, the dance of smoke, the burning of herbs.

They are helping us to remember who we truly are and the ancestral medicine we hold.

The elements are our ancestors, too, holding us in the eternal memory of what it means to be children of the earth.

If you have a loved one that has crossed over, on Samhain night say a special prayer, or do something to remind you of them. Eat their favourite food, or light a candle in their name.

And beyond reaching out to passed loved ones, make time to acknowledge the “deaths” both great and small in your life. There are so many things that have “died” this year, so honour the ones that matter most to you, even if they are a little painful.

Look to nature for guidance, as it is always showing us how it dies and rebirths itself again and again.

What if on Samhain you chose to release stuffing your shadows and really embrace, love and trust all the different parts of you that work together as you live your most creative, honest and beautiful life?

What if you actually remember and embrace all you are – a wholeness? Remembering the important life lessons that have come our way, such as: – I remember that masks that stay on too long will stick to my skin. I remember I always have a choice. I remember that if I am asked to keep a piece of me hidden, this is not where I belong. It’s about diving into your core values and living them.

So, when I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide and teach this week I nearly snorted tea out of my nose when I saw who was most adamant. (Seriously you can’t make this shit up!)

This is the first time these guides have come out to play in public. I will say it is one of the sets I have been using everyday since they insisted on taking them home (which funnily enough was 10 minutes before a Baba Yaga play.) And interestingly enough 4 of them wanted to join!

They use the word W.I.T.C.H – woman in total control of herself, and in a nutshell (as we are doing a brief into today). They invite you to become a disciple of inner devotion, resurrect the silver salvation of self-respect, believe in yourself and your wild holy heart like it’s a sovereign religion. As it is. And the world needs more missionaries.

Thus with the thought of wholeness, reclaiming the energy that you use to hide pieces of yourself or your pain, that sense of release – close your eyes down and just breathe. Just breathe, trust and allow this all to swirl. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug.

If you need a bit more guidance, come find your ancestors – as they have much to share with you.

Did you remember to pick?

Come see what the guides want to share with you.

THE RESCUER

Killer empathy is real. Most women never identify it, let alone unravel its suffocating grasp on their lives.

While empathy is a superpower, it is a double-edged sword. It enables you to be considerate of and cooperative with others, but on the other side of empathy is the rescuer, who, in her compassion, is determined to save those she loves and that which she cares about most.

This will lead her to sacrifice her time, energy and other resources in the name of fixing, saving, solving, helping and otherwise rescuing those people and situations she feels have a great need.

This side of empathy cuts deeply into her life force, often resulting in the haemorrhage of her time, vitality and creativity.

A W.I.T.CH, however, knows that her empathy must have boundaries.

She helps those who help themselves, jumping in to assist rather than save or fix. She trusts that others have their own guides and their own soul’s code to assist their journey, just as she does.

She’s willing to resist the impulse to care-take or rescue, allowing others the opportunity to grow, expand, and develop their own agency.

Now is the time to resist the urge to manage another’s experience and keep your precious empathic energy in balance.

THE PREDATOR

You know that voice of the psyche that wants you to comply or conform in order to fit in, or shames you for being selfish, or tells you it’s honourable and responsible to deny your longing, demanding you fold your dreams away into a people serving shaped box?

It’s a predator you adopted as a family.

The voice condemning and convincing you that following your desires will hurt other people?

It’s inside you.

The call is coming from inside the house.

That predator is an unholy inquisitor. He might have first showed up outside of you in your original home, church or school, and most certainly in our culture as a whole.

But he is now alive as the inner patriarchy.

It’s the force that wants to control you in order to keep you small and unthreatening.

It’s moved into the psyche, as it does generation after generation, if left unquestioned.

A W.I.T.C.H. knows it’s purposeful to speak truth to power, to stand up and march for justice, fairness and decency. But she is also determined to march on behalf of the girl inside of her living with a monster.

She is willing to take to the inner streets to clean up the injustice of bullying thoughts, blaming self-talk, and name-calling.

She speaks up for fairness when the internal predatory voice demands she please everyone else before herself.

She embodies fierce decency when her dreams or hungers or passions are shamed and belittled from within.

It is time to take a stand against the unholy inquisition of the psyche, and develop the tools to defeat the toxic patriarchy living there.

You deserve nothing less.

DISCIPLE OF RITUAL

You are connected to all things.

Remembering this is part of your empowerment. Forgetting it is part of your diminishment.

When we honour our Earth as Mother, our Sky as Father and praise the wind cousins, the water ancestors, the stone family and the fire friends, we are taking our place in the great family.

The animistic way of being in the world is remembering that spirit lives in all things, not just humans.

This is a time to remember ritual as an act of inclusion. Ritual is your way of acknowledging your part in the Great Family.

Accept its blessings and be grateful for the ways life conspires to bless you.

The sun creates enough energy in one day to run all the machines of the planet for more than a thousand years.

There’s more oxygen available than you can ever breathe.

The water on this planet was the same water available to the dinosaurs, to Mary Magdalene, to Gandhi.

The planet you were born to is genius in both generations and regeneration.

We are sharing or squandering its riches, and the potential of our own psyche, in any given moment.

A W.I.T.CH. understands that when she praises the sunrise and sings to the moon, she is joining creation’s ongoing conversation.

She is unafraid to petition these forces for support and alliance, but starts first with the gratitude of all the blessings she didn’t have to earn: a place on the planet that is distinctively hers, with an abundance of natural resources she didn’t have to create.

Now is the time for ritual.

Put your gratitude and prayers into song or dance or the quiet intensity of a candle flame.

It doesn’t matter how you create a sacred moment for ritual, just that you do it.

Now is the time.

LADY OF PERPETUAL REBIRTH

Death comes for all of us.

But this isn’t a death card; it’s a rebirth card.

It’s an invitation to clean and clear out what needs to end, in order to welcome the new.

What ideas or beliefs have become weighty? Overwhelming? Outdated? What thoughts no longer fit you? What convictions cause exhaustion or illness when you embody them?

Our Lady of Perpetual Rebirth is here to usher out the old and midwife the new. Pay special attention to your dreams. There are signs and symbols showing themselves to you right now that will indicate what wants to be loosened and released.

The new vision, new awareness, new life that is circling you right now will also send out strong signals. Pay attention.

Listen, watch, observe. This is a time to let go of what no longer serves.

A W.I.T.C.H. can welcome death with the same enthusiasm a moth displays when flying into fire.

She hurls herself towards her own endings, knowing her next beginnings live inside the fire of her passion, the heat of longing calling her forward.

Are you listening?

Holy Hannah, if those don’t make your jaw drop as super clear guidance messages at this time, then I have no clue what will. Wishing you a wonderful liminal time, I hope you peel off the masks and embrace your whole self. If you need more support with this celebration the Magickal Book of Samhain is available for one more week. Huge hugs and squeezes!

Super Lunar Eclipse in Taurus and Samhain is just over a week away!

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Delicious, lovely! Happy Magickal, Mysterious, Merry, Melodious, Magnificent, Magickal Manifesting Monday!

Whoot, so much to talk about this week!

But first I would like to say – I don’t know about you, but I’ve been loving the energy of this month!

We had Friday the 13th (Goddess Day), a Solar Eclipse in Libra and now we are approaching a Lunar Eclipse in Taurus and Samhain (Halloween) is just round the corner! I love it!

So yes there is a glorious Magickal Samhain Guidebook for you. 45 pages of all sorts of wonder, ritual, magick, lore and more!

This glorious guide helps you to go from feeling a little lost, unsteady, spiritually unsatisfied in your life to feeling deeply connected with nature & the Divine, and in tune with your Authentic Self – by creating a personal practice rooted in the seasons.

There is also going to be a lovely Samhain gathering on Sunday October 29th at 9am PST (more details to come this week as here we have had three birthdays this weekend and I have created two amazing wedding ceremonies!)

But back to the eclipses (as we are in the portal of them) – remember, eclipses always come in pairs – the New and Full Moon.

And yes, the time between eclipses is highly charged. Emotions can feel raw, and anxiety runs high! Eclipses bring karmic endings and fateful new beginnings.

Okay, we have lots to chat about so grab a cuppa – snuggle up and let’s rock and roll.

Let’s talk about this eclipse that occurs on October 28th (so this Saturday).

Yes the moon is in Taurus but it is also called the Hunters Moon. This is the time when the the spiritual bond between the human soul and the October Full Moon connects.

It’s a celestial feast full of meaning, a ghostly dance of ritual, and represents the very core of astrology and spirituality.

Throughout the hallowed pages of history, the Hunters Moon has symbolised a time of harvest, abundance, the afterlife, spiritual transformation, and divination. Remember last week we talked about what does it mean “The Veil is Thinning?”

Remember under a Full Moon eclipse this is massive release and soul connection energy, this is not the time to set intentions, or do rituals pertaining to manifesting.

Hence why in Creatrix Circle we are having our Samhain Gathering the day after!

So let’s talk about Samhain, which happens on October 31st. Duh!

This is a powerful, powerful, powerful time of year. Aka The Witches New Year.

This is when we celebrate All Hallows Eve and honour our ancestors who have paved the way before us. You don’t have to identify as a Witch to celebrate Samhain, the time of deepening and releasing. The time of calling in your ancestors, clearing and claiming the ancestral line.

This time of year is when we have the opportunity to celebrate the cycle of death and rebirth as the veil between our world and the spiritual world is at its thinnest.

Samhain is the season of Death. Right now, nature is teaching us the important role Death plays in the cycle of Life.

The natural world is dying. Things are being cleared away, making room for new life to take root.

And it’s reminding us of the critical role Death plays in our own personal growth journeys. You can’t evolve without letting things die away. Outdated beliefs, stories, habits; relationships that no longer serve you; jobs that crush your spirit – these things have to die away in order to keep evolving.

Samhain is the season to let things die. The energy is supporting you in this difficult work. Nature is showing how beautiful the process can be.

Okay, I’ve chuntered on enough, let’s crack on with the reading. So when I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide and support this week I giggled when I saw it was The Oracle of Shadows and Light. With the invitation to walk into the Full Moon Eclipse, they are positively perfect!

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them

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?

Ready? Willing to just settle in for a few minutes? It won’t take long, the invitation is to breathe and just BE for a few moments and with this amazing Full Moon energy swirling around you pick out something you are willing to release and reframe. Got it? When you are ready pick the card or cards that tug at your soul strings.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see who wants to share with you this week.

STRANGELY LONELY

Holding on way too tight.

This sweet and defiant being holds fast to her Celtic cross, clutching her belief system, because without it she is not sure who she truly is. Perhaps it was given to her by a beloved, perhaps it represents her family, a loved one, or aspects of her soul.

But the reason she holds on so tight is that she is lonely and has yet to connect with her soul family on a day to day basis.

One dilemma with living in a world you feel you must protect is that you fear other people intruding on it, disturbing the delicate balance! So, you hold on tighter to whatever you have, or whatever you feel makes you, you.

The truth is your inner world is richer than most, and it’s an imaginative paradise – or hell – depending on your state of mind.

You are holding so tightly to something that it is proving to be a barrier between you and others – which is why you feel so alone at times. At present, you may need to open up just a little, and admit that you crave like minded people around you.

This does not mean people who do the same things for a living as you – it means people who speak to your soul.

You’re craving metaphysical and mysterious discussions, and you’ve got some questions that truly need answers – or at least an exploration.

Please let go, just a little, and notice how this gives you room to interact and engage with loving others, and this therefore helps you re-create your world anew.

It is likely you will choose carefully who you allow in – but at least one person does need to be let in and at least one “security blanket” needs to be shown the door.

Just for the moment.

SEWER MERMAID

Your sensuality is beautiful!

You’re being reminded of the treasures you have that you may have labelled “bad” and perhaps even pushed away, forced underneath. We often have negative thoughts – that we are too short, too tall, our thighs too large, our breasts too small, our hair not right, our face not pretty enough. We speak to ourselves in negative ways, and we begin to feel we are not good enough.

And when this takes place, the result can be that we begin to create negative experiences, blockages, and difficulties.

We push away, rather than attract them. We hide for fear that what others see will not be good enough.

But this mermaid of the hidden spaces is here to show you that your dark thoughts have told you lies about your great beauty; you are your own self, and all that you are is perfect, whole, and complete.

You may try to push her away and refuse to believe that you are beautiful. But when you are ready, she will swim to you and free you from all the harmful, negative thoughts and experiences, all the “sewage”. You will begin to believe that no matter what, you are a beautiful being, healthy, attractive, and one who deserves love, respect, and affection.

It’s time to believe in yourself – that you are attractive, beautiful, and worthy of love and respect. She will show you how to see your body as a place of health, delight, and strength. Let’s clean up your physical and mental acts. Let’s love all aspects of the physical self.

Let us not criticise and hate ourselves, no matter our size, shape, or differences. We are all unique expressions of the Divine – and that truth most certainly applies to you. Let us not be ashamed anymore.

Let us celebrate who we are, and learn to love the differences, and be grateful for all that we have, are, and will be.

It is time to clean up your act – not of your natural looks, but of the way you have thought about yourself! Something beautiful has been treated badly. It is now up to you to begin to reframe your ideas and thoughts and therefore your experiences of yourself, your body, your worth, your ability to attract others, and to see yourself as worthy of love, respect, and consideration.

You are beautiful and very worth loving. This is the only truth that must be told at this time.

WITCH AT THE END OF THE WORLD

An important end, a new beginning.

Storms fly about her, electrical whips crack through the heavy air with their bites of fire, and she sits among them, hugging her hourglass, holding everything together till the force creating the change has done its work.

When the Witch at the End of the World makes her appearance to you, you will know that something’s time has come. There can be no more delaying, for the change has begun.

So the best thing for you to do now is prepare for this change.

Find solutions to challenges that will come up when the change comes. You will be fine, by the way, and all will be well, but there will be a time of seeming chaos and difficulty.

If you are prepared, and ready to let go and change, and let something end, the little witch’s countdown will not affect you as it will affect others who refuse to acknowledge that changes are coming and become fearful at their inevitable approach.

There is nothing to fear, but plenty to prepare for. You will be safe, and well, and very ready to embrace the new world.

I am not wicked, but I am a witch, and changes are made when the world bends and shifts.

I hold this hourglass up to you now so you know that the time for an ending is almost upon us.

You can see the signs all about you – the strange weather, the hurricanes, the cyclones, the earth changes all about us – but so many simply say I am wicked for showing you this. They blame me for what they call the catastrophes, and they ignore the signs. They are with you, and it is time to be ready.

We are all about to experience a huge change – and it will be for the better. But while we hold on to the old, the storms will blast us, and the land will shift, and self-healing will look like destruction.

There is nothing to be frightened of; only a voyage to weather, and you’ll make it through to the other side of the storm.

The changes are part of our journey to a fifth-dimensional world, of the shift to a more peaceful planet, where shadows and light are loved and accepted. All is well.

Wowzer, what delicious guides for this eclipse week and the approaching Samhain! I love it.

So delicious lovely, remember to grab your copy of the Samhain Guidebook, come join us for a Samhain gathering and be gentle with yourself in these crazy times and crazy energies. Massive hugs and squeezes!

The Veil is Thinning, have you talked to your Ancestors? And a Samhain offering!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Marvelous, Mystical, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday delicious lovely! How are you? How was the Scorpio New Moon yesterday? Did you give yourself some time to think of 10 wishes, desires, goals you want this glorious time to support you with? The weather here has perked up and I have revelled going out in the sun and playing in the leaves – let alone we had three birthdays to celebrate this last week! (I so love good cake!)

This Thursday we have Samhain (Halloween) and as I have shared before it is one of my favourite celebrations!!!! I mean I seriously love, love, love Halloween (or as I refer to it Samhain, pronounced Sow-een)! I love the costumes, the pumpkin carving – which we did on Saturday and ended up with some very cool pumpkins. I love the crispness of the air in the morning, the smell of wood smoke late at night from chimneys near by, the crunch of the leaves under my boots as I go yomping about. I love having hordes of little people who are dressed as faeries, princesses, warriors, ninjas and a myriad of other delights knocking at the door hollering “Trick or Treat!” When my kids were smaller and would go out with pillow case clutched in hand to gather farrrrrr too many sweeties, their enthusiasm and delight was positively contagious. As the mumma I was also able to impose a “mumma tithe” on the sweeties, so I would receive 10% of all the mini chocolate bars (the mini Mars bar being my favourite!) Nom, nom, nom. Yesterday we all got together as a fam dam, lit a fire, carved pumpkins and celebrated one of my boys (with a massive homemade Greek feast). It was absolutely delicious. I love these moments. Now why do we carve pumpkins? Have you ever wondered? There’s a fabulous Irish myth that you can share with your kids all about The Tale of Stingy Jack and the Jack o Lantern…..

I love that the veil is thinning (and some of you may be saying – Ummm, errr, What?). Halloween was originally a festival celebrating the dead and the world of the supernatural. It was a time of reverence for and contact with the dead. It was also a time to reap the crops that had been sown in the year prior and to prepare for the “dark night of winter.” It is the New Year for many pagans, especially witches (or Wiccans). Samhain was and is a time for reflection on the previous year and what you have done with your life. It is a time of great magick and mystery and reverence for the supernatural and the “other side.” It is considered the time when the “veil between the worlds” is at its thinnest and the dead can-and do-walk among us. Thus, making it easier to communicate with those who are no longer physically here.

Many of you have emailed me asking if there is going to be a Samhain reading special. I have perked it and yes until November 1st I have opened up spots. It’s the perfect time as magick and communication is in the air! Which got me thinking about Ancestors, mine in particular. I have been fortunate to know 4 generations prior to me, some albeit briefly and I have had aunts who have explored our Celtic family and have shared.

However, you may know a name, a date when born, when they died – but who were they? Have you ever thought about who your Ancestors were as a person? What they did, how they felt, what they wished for? I read a phrase the other day “ You are the Faery Tale your Ancestors told.” Breathe that in and think about it. It really hit me as I was having a shower (I know odd, but hey), here I am reaching out to my Ancestors – but in generations to come they will be reaching out to me as I will be the Ancestor. They will be the faery tale I told. What would I like to tell them, and share with them?

When I used to Karma Krew at Enlightened Warrior, one of the sayings that we used a lot was “AHO” as an acknowledgement and in various of the “processes” that would occur in this format of camp often you would hear “aho mitakuye oyasin”, which is a phrase from the Lakota language meaning “I welcome all my relations”, it acknowledges the connection to lineage and to nature. Ancestors. This in turn got me to thinking about when I meditate or when I am out in the woods, what if I were to invite the wisdom, teachings and supportive energy of my Ancestors to be with me, would it make a difference? Well I tried it yesterday out in the woods, and all I can say is it was pretty stupendous. I felt like I had my own special entourage with me, guiding me, whispering words of encouragement and holding me in an energy of love and safety. I highly encourage you to give it a try!

This perking of Ancestors got me to thinking about Belonging. I facilitate a group called Soul Matters and each month we “walk” with a theme through the month, there are amazing spiritual exercises to explore, and we come together and practice deep listening, and deep sharing – this isn’t light or trite or for the faint of heart lol. The theme for this month is “Belonging” – not just about the place you feel you belong to, but more importantly “who and what do you belong to?’ Think about that – who and what do you belong to. In other words, “whose am I?” You are not a single mote floating randomly in the Universe, you are part of the people around you, you are part of your family and I invite you to welcome in that you are part of your Ancestors. Yes?

So as we approach Samhain I invite you to perk about your Ancestors and who do you Belong to and what does that feel like. Willing to play with it?

With Samhain, the veil thinning, Ancestors and Belonging wafting through the air when I went to the cards I grinned like a Cheshire Cat! The cards that chose you this week are The Oracle of the Shapeshifters. If these glorious guides are new to you, let me please introduce them (as that is the polite thing to do)! “These are the magickal familiars, once the companions of shamans, witches, wizards, and wise ones – and now they are here for you. Now is the time for you to undertake a great quest – to rebirth yourself within this lifetime and this quest of evolution does not need to be faced alone. We change and we change again. We fear change. Yet it comes. For us to fear change is as foolish as winter crying for the coming of spring. Change is. Fear corrupts. These guides are here to support, encourage and help you through transformation and to teach you to let go of fear. True , deep change must take place for you to fulfill your soul contract. You may have turned from possibility to what you have convinced yourself is probable: You diminish your possible self, reduce who you are, and dilute your spirit. But even when you have sought to remain invisible and hidden away, and said yes to everyone else, life will find you – and transform you. You are never alone with these beings.” Phew! So there we have it are you ready?

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to come support are:- Angel Wing Phantom Quartz – fabulous for connecting to your higher self and to attain a sense of tranquility. Carnelian –stabilising, it restores vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity. It gives courage, promotes positive life choices, dispels apathy and motivates for success. Citrine – attracts wealth, prosperity and success. It imparts joy, wonder, delight and enthusiasm. Raises self-esteem and self-confidence. And some gorgeous little Calendula flowers wanted to impart their healing – don’t fret – they went in a gorgeous salad afterwards. Nom!!!

So delicious lovely, breathe yourself back into your body. All the way down to your toes and to the tips of your hair. Woosah. Just breathe, gift yourself with these moments. I have included a lovely guided visualisation to really tap into the energy of Ancestors if you feel inclined. As you breathe invite into your minds eye Ancestors and Belonging, let them swirl and guide you. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you. Woosah!

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to look?

BROTHER RACCOON

Raccoons speak of stealth, remaining undercover, and flying under the radar. Raccoons suggest you take cover, work with camouflage, and stay in the in-between places for a time in order to remain safe. Do not reveal who you are, what you do, or your new idea or project to all. Too often we share what we are planning out loud, giving all, even ourselves, the impression it is already done. It is not.

It needs careful protection, but mostly you need to not draw attention. It does not mean you have to be furtive or sneaky, though some will call it so. It means to quietly get on with your day-to-day and the very soulful business of change without showing everyone every detail along the way. You have far to go – at this early stage it is not advisable to share all. There is a sacred part of you that must be protected, for it could easily be exhausted and exploited by those who will be very quick – even quicker than you – to recognise the value of what you have.

In order to survive, sometimes you must hide, camouflage, or mask yourself from those who would know our true nature and exploit you. Like a precious plant when snow falls, you must go underground, huddle in your seed, and keep quiet and safe from those who would take you and cultivate you and your amazing self for their own reasons. This is not a time to allow yourself to be used by others for their own agendas. Do not think of this hiding or melting into the forest as cowardice; it is wise to go to ground for a time now. In order for ou, your ancestry, your bloodline, and anything cherished and rare to live on, you sometimes must hide it away for a time, brining it forward later so that you flourish.

THE GOLDEN PHOENIX

You are transforming – both internally and externally – and this change is blessed, divine, and guided by your Golden Phoenix guardian. Talk to your Golden Phoenix at sunrise – and know that as you do so, your Golden Phoenix is recharging your chakras and your aura, and thus your experiences, thoughts, and reality. You are loved by the Golden Phoenix, and as you honour her with your transformation, she honours you with this marvelous gift of regeneration. Life from death. The sun from the ashes. You rise again, reborn. The Golden Phoenix is perhaps the greatest creature of rebirth and reincarnation. This sacred helper, guardian, and loving companion guides you to die before you die, to be born again within this life, many times. Allow the things that no longer serve you to fall like autumn leaves. Allow yourself to be reborn, like the budding leaves of spring. You are potentially in one of the most invigorating, challenging, and inspiring rebirth cycles ever.

You retreated, rested, and you recovered. And now you will reignite! You thought something – or someone – was done. Dead. In the past. But his once lifeless thing of ashes is about to flame back into full existence! You are about to witness a resurrection, and you and the reborn will have the chance to create something of warmth and beauty together – something pure, innocent, and wise that will benefit many. Life always finds a way – and you will have a Golden Phoenix guiding you to rekindle a dream you gave up on too soon.

SNAKE PRINCESS

Associated with the goddess, worshipped in the matriarchal cultures of Minoa, and venerated by many people, including the Hopi, the snake is life itself. It is the marriage of the heavens and earth, and it symbolises the union of masculine and feminine. The snake is your spine, your DNA, and your nervous system; it is the ancient serpent kundalini knowledge that has been denied for over two thousand years and now returns.

It may be time for you to carry a staff, a sacred tool around which the snake mother can twine and speak with you. You deserve to let this energy flow into you, for it is the ultimate energy of rebirth. It is time for you to shed the skin of fear and conditioning, yet to use still your own wits. The snake will support your intelligence, and goddess will support your true self-love and acknowledgement. You are about to receive knowledge of healing, of ancient times, of the beauty of what lies beneath – the underworld, with all its wisdom of crystals, minerals, and ancient worlds.

Speak and show who you are. You will not bite. You will grow strong. You will not poison. You will inform us all with your brightness and illuminated apple, which when opened will reveal the five star seeds of wisdom. Do not refuse this apple. Do not heed the fear. Transform and heal. The propaganda about the snake and the serpent goddess has led us to fear this creature and our deep, wise, ancient self, and to forgo many blessed forms of connecting with the divine and with our own DNA.

My home is this tree of the world, where all souls flow from. Your soul is nurtured by my presence and wisdom of the tree. Eat of our fruit. It is your soul nourishment. And do not let the fears and the lies you have been taught be the reason you deny me. You are strong enough. You are worthy enough.

Wow! Well delicious lovely these are amazing cards to welcome in Samhain and the glorious New Moon energy of Scorpio that we just had. Breathe it in. Take some time to imagine your Ancestors, including the ones you don’t know of, and invite them in to support and guide you. Wishing you a stupendous week, may you have a myriad of mini Mars bars appear on your doorstep and smell the crisp air, walk in the crunchy leaves and give thanks. Allow the whispers of your Ancestors guide you to Belonging. Happy Samhain! See you next week! Remember, if you would like to take advantage of the Samhain reading special, you have until November 1st.

Big hugs and squeezes,

Samhain

We are beckoned to connect more deeply with our inner worlds and the ancestral realms.

Look to nature for guidance, as it is always showing us how it dies and rebirths itself again and again.

Samhain is the season of Death. Right now, nature is teaching us the important role Death plays in the cycle of Life.

Samhain is the season to let things die. The energy is supporting you in this difficult work. Nature is showing how beautiful the process can be.
