When you take a Full Moon Eclipse, an Energy Shift and the 11:11 Portal what happens? Transformation Honey.

Happy Majestic, Magnificent, Magickal, Marvellous, Moony Monday!

How was your Samhain, All Saints Day and All Souls day? I will say here in this neck of the woods it was deep, rich and welcoming!

We have lots to explore this week as there is big energy kicking around (in case you hadn’t noticed). With moving into November the energy has shifted, Tuesday we have a Blood Moon Eclipse in Taurus. Now I don’t know about you, but this energy is big and the word a lot of people are using is “Fated.” (North Node energy activation and all that).

And we have the 11.11 portal energy on Friday.

So snuggle up with a cuppa and let’s go dance between the warp and weft of these energies, so that we come out creating instead of tanking – yes?

As you know, we are now in November and the energy has shifted yet again (as it does monthly) and we are working with the energy of A NEW FERTILITY. But what does this mean for you?

As Lena explains; The first part of November, until the full moon on the 8th, remains an intense time between the 2 eclipses where anything can happen and the energy is tumultuous, unpredictable, somewhat accident prone, and can lean towards irritation, anger and restlessness.

Remember that this is a time that supports transformational change and should be used wisely so don’t dwell on shortcomings and negativity. Use this time as an important reset for yourself that may include some letting go of negative habitual behaviour, addictions and situations that are toxic.

Once we survive the next eclipse we have an opportunity to reboot our landscape and take a look at what we wish to initiate moving forward.

The theme of “a new fertility” is giving us the opportunity to re-evaluate how we think, what we believe and to move into a new way of being productive, sustainable and abundant.

We are moving out of a very masculine, active, aggressive time and into a more feminine expression of support which includes a necessary attention to what is fertility and how we are bringing it into our lives.

To have the most fertile ground requires fertilising it. Our fertiliser is the compost of our past patterns, experiences, lessons, trauma, grief, successes, disappointments, karmic relationships, challenges, opportunities taken, opportunities missed and anything else we have experienced in our past.

Turning the past into good fertile compost requires letting go of your attachment to it.

Re-read that again!

It’s a time of big release of old dross and also releasing the attachment to it.

In other words you can’t say you have released it and still talk about it daily!

On Tuesday, November 8th – Well, here we go. (Are you ready?)

A dramatic full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus will appear (which also happens to be Election Day in the United States). Again, what does this mean for you?

This is a transformative and some have called it a “fated” eclipse. It holds similar energy-ish to the one we had in May and it closes the eclipse portal that we have been experiencing.

Now if you remember, eclipses really uncover stuff. I mean bring it to the surface like a boil!

An eclipse is a time where the dealings of our worldly life (money, relationships, work, family) can get a little wonky.

On the other hand, the mystical part of life becomes incredibly enhanced!

If you remember, Full Moons are a great time to let go and release energy that is no longer serving you which opens you up to new energy coming in which can support in healing, opportunities, advances, upleveling consciousness, partnerships/relationships, wisdom, financial, and/or abundance.

With this transformative Blood Moon Eclipse there is an uplevelling on all levels of our consciousness and our spiritual journey. Which requires releasing the dross (are you seeing where I’m going with this?)

I have purposely used the word Transformative for this Blood Moon Eclipse, because if you are willing to do the work, release the dross, old baggage and welcome in new fertile energy; life will shift. However, be clear on what you desire.

“Transformation can always be challenging and often requires the painful work of peeling back layers, shedding skin, and birthing into the new. Each of these steps carries its struggles and magic, but under a Blood Moon Eclipse, the intensity level can be turned up.”

So how to navigate this? Take some time to journal and release. Ask for strength, power and support for letting go of any drama that is not serving you well, acknowledge the karmic lessons you have learned and set an intention to embrace a new fertility where new ideas, insights and inspiration have a chance to take root and flourish.

This Friday (November 11th) is Remembrance Day, also known as Armistice Day. It marks the day World War One ended at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918! 104 years ago!!!

Now I appreciate you may have been fortunate never to have experienced war, or had to fight in a war. However, many people are not that fortunate and so I do feel it is very important, especially with what is happening in the Ukraine, to acknowledge and sit with it.

To Remember.

The Poppy to me is a symbol of Remembering those who bravely went to fight for our freedoms and well being. It is also a symbol of Hope, hope for our troops that are still deployed all over the world and Hope for a time of Peace. As someone who was in the Military reserves and a reserve police officer, and also having friends who were or still are in the military, let alone a father who was and a grandfather, I feel very strongly about the respect and honour that is due to those sacrifices and those that are still away from home.

Personally, I think it is important to focus on those types of events, the ones that inspire Hope and Peace, and don’t get me wrong, there are all sorts of wars still being waged all over the world. But drop back into that space of Armistice, Hope and Peace – it is sooooo possible on every level in this world (at least that is my belief).

Thus on Remembrance day we have the potent energy of 11:11. Great Jen, what does that mean for me (you may be asking)?

Close your eyes and remember the last time that you set an intention. Did you feel doubtful that your wish would come true, or did you have faith that the universe was listening, ready to help you bring your vision to life?

11/11 is one of the most powerful days of the year for manifestation – a day when we’re reminded that our guides are always with us, supporting us on the path to our deepest dreams. There’s a reason why we’re told to make a wish whenever we see 11:11 on the clock. 11 is a master number, and its frequency speeds up manifestation, opening up channels through which angelic beings can send their wisdom and support.

“The number 11 grants us access to the 5th dimension, where the constraints of time and space do not exist. On 11/11, we experience 5D energy in the form of synchronicity, alignment, and acceleration. You might experience that “right place, right time” feeling – the reassurance that you’re on the right path, and everything you’re seeking is seeking you in return.”

A lot happening yes, amazing yes, transformative yes. But are you willing?

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the cards and asked my guides who they wanted to work with they picked these glorious guides.

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

These glorious guides give you needed glimpses into your everyday life and help you see where changes can be made to enhance your life here on Earth. There is so much more to our world than we often perceive.

There exist many dimensions and numerous beings that reside in these realms. All of these elemental beings are interconnected with us. We do not live independent of one another but are interdependent. These wonderful beings are here to help.

They not only take care of the Earth, but they work hard to take care of us. We are familiar with many of these beings, such as angels, faeries, and elves. There are many more we are not conscious of, but they, nevertheless, contribute to the workings of our planet. Remember as you go through your day, to ask for help from the elemental world whenever you need it. The need is never too small to call on their help. It is through helping us that they advance in their spiritual development. We are their work. We in turn can spiritually evolve through allowing them to help us. To all these amazing beings we say Thank You.

Interestingly enough the crystals that came to share are all glorious beach stones and the herbs were most adamant. So we have Sage and Rosemary. Grounding and Flow is what they are saying.

Okay darling one, take a breath. A glorious slow, sensual breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. Feel your jaw relax (which helps your pelvic floor and diaphragm to relax) and as you breathe see in your mind’s eye a glorious Red Poppy.

It dances in the breeze and its paper like petals glow with the richness of its colour. As you start into the centre of it, allow yourself to be drawn in, ask your higher self, wise self – what karmic patterns do you need to release, what do you want to create space for that makes you feel hopeful and peaceful.

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

IVY

Finances

Faeries have no need to worry about finances. They just trust they will be provided for, and so they are.

Trust has a lot to do with the finances of humans also.

Asking and then trusting that things will work out for you opens a pathway for your good to come to you.

This is a time when financial issues are at a head in your life. There are opportunities opening up for you. Keep your eyes open and be willing to check out any offers that come your way. The Universe knows what you need and will provide if you stay grounded in faith.

Look carefully at how you use the money that is given to you. Do you use it wisely? Are you saving some each month? Paying bills on time?

If you find yourself resenting bill paying then change your attitude and face it with joy. Thank Spirit that you are able to pay your bills. Send each payment out with a blessing attached, that “…every person who comes in contact with this money be blessed.” Finances will surely take a turn for the better.’

Have trust and believe!

A wee mantra for you:

Mother, Father God…I ask for your divine intervention on my behalf.

I ask for the perfect solution.

I ask for the perfect timing for the manifestation of the solution.

I am willing to accept your guidance and your wisdom…

And I expect the miracles,

Which are a demonstration of your love.

So be it.

Keep your eyes out for a coin today.

PEDESTAL

Choice

Look at this card. This angelic being is bound round and round, yet her bindings are not secured.

She can choose to unbind herself at any moment.

Situations are not always as dire as they seem. You must look deeper at things going on in your life. Are you seeing all the different sides of a situation? Perhaps you are feeling restricted when it is your choice to simply decide to be free.

We often bind ourselves with limited belief systems and outdated thinking patterns. What habits can you change in order to release yourself from your limited thinking? Many situations are not black or white or good or bad. It’s up to you to sit and see both sides.

Ask for clarity and to see all facets before making up your mind. Find your pedestal where you can see your truth and release all that does not fit your chosen reality.

Choose wisely what you want in your life. All of the choices we make create a vibration that affects all other life in the Universe. If one chooses wisely, it will be what is also best for others. You have much more control of your life and circumstances than you realise.

A wee mantra for you:

I am a being with the gift of choice.

I am open to truth.

I choose to bring into my life, all the good that exists for me.

I choose freedom.

My life abounds with positive options.

I choose wisely with my best interest in mind.

So be it!

Choose the other one today!

BOOK FAIRY

Intellect

This is about reading, writing, study and all intellectual pursuits in general. It’s also about the stories of your life. If someone were to write about your life and the stories of it, what would they say?

For those who love to read, be sure to allow yourself plenty of time for relaxing with a good book. For those who do not care to read, consider what you are missing out on and consider reading more.

It may be time to delve deeper into an area of study and learning that interests you. Perhaps furthering your education, with much reading to do.

There is one caution, if your nose is always in a book to the exclusion of people and other activities, you may want to make sure that you are not trying to hide from life. It’s fun to live in another dimension for a bit, but be sure to come back to your own plane of existence.

It may be time to consider exploring something new and furthering your education.

A wee mantra for you:

Princesses, goblins, and romantic things,

Treasures and pirates and magical rings.

Wings that are wispy and bells that ring clear;

Banishing dragons…the crowd roars a cheer!

Such are our stories and so they are told,

Both of the meek and also the bold!

Life is a story, about which I write.

I’ll make it a good one filled with bright light!

So be it!

Seek knowledge today!

Wowzer, glorious guides for this transformative and intense week. Wishing you a stupendous week filled with ease, laughter and reflection as well as unpacking the dross trunk! There won’t be a reading next week as this is a long weekend and I will be taking time to play, Remember and reflect. Big hugs and squeezes.

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.

When the heat cranks, Divisiveness comes into play! So where do you find a sense of peace?

Jenny Heston · 4:37 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Melting, Magnificent, Melodic Monday! The last Monday of June (can you believe it?) So let me ask a super boring question – what’s your weather like? (See I told you it would be boring).

Here we are in the midst of an unprecedented heat wave – I mean it’s frigging hot with temperatures we don’t normally see here, such as 41C! Which totally ties in with what Lena shared about the Shamanic monthly energy for June as Shake Up being internally, externally and mumma nature flexing her energy as well.

I will be honest, as a ginger I don’t do super well in extreme heat to say the least, I’m more like a wilting flower that looks to hide in dark cool places. However, it has been fascinating to watch and just observe people around me as I move through my day. A lot of anger flaring, tempers are short and words are flying left, right and centre. It’s as if with the external heat being increased, the internal heat has been cranked up and people are pissed. I had a client who is the most gentle, kind, sweet person stating very clearly how she just wanted to “throat punch” people! I get it, lol.

There’s a lot of anger swirling around and heightened energies that are in play, which in turn are really exacerbating that sense of divisiveness I’ve been witnessing, for the last few months.

Now what do I mean by divisiveness? The separation mentality. The Us vs Them mentality. The sense of I’m right – You’re wrong kind of thing.

So for example. With the heat I try to get out the door as the sun is rising (because seriously by 7am it’s already 28C). I take Danu down to one of the beaches so she can cool her paws and walk in the water. So yesterday, at about 8am I took her to a local rocky beach and had 2 different people screaming at me about having a dog there. Hmmm, tricky as it’s a beach that allows dogs.

Their level of anger as they sat sweating on the driftwood shouting at me and trying to make me “wrong” (whilst they were dumping their food garbage all around them was so intense I had to laugh. Seriously?

But this sense of entitlement, there being only one way to do things and good/bad energy seems to be pervading all different types of arenas and I find it so sad.

When Covid first hit 16 months ago and the world went into a tailspin one of the side effects that came into play was people realising that community, humans, helping each other was important. That we were all connected, no matter where we lived and that we were all in this together. I was soooo delighted and thought to myself – Yes! Yes! Change is happening, the reset button has been pushed and we will create a better global community.

Then the vaccine was introduced and all of a sudden it created that rift again, that split, that separation. As I don’t know about you but one of the first questions anyone seems to ask these days is “Have you got the vaccine? Which one did you get?” Goddess forbid you say you are choosing not to, or you haven’t got it yet.

The other morning I was standing in a line up for the local market and there was a woman ahead of me with no mask on and she turned to the person behind her “I’m not wearing a mask as I’ve had two doses of the vaccine, which one did you get? This poor person looked a tad stunned and advised the woman “Actually, I’m not sure I’m going to get it.” (Bold on her part). Then all hell broke loose. The maskless woman went into a tirade about how irresponsible she was, that it was her duty and on, and on. Basically implying she was wrong, less than and obviously selfish and stupid. Wow! Divisiveness in play. Us vs Them.

I appreciate with Solstice we entered the energy of Fire, the intense energy and very masculine energy. Throw on top of it the outrageous heat and all the rest of it, but do we really need to revert back to how the world was? As in my humble opinion, it didn’t seem to work so well.

So how do you find peace when it feels like the world is a tad off kilter, and the energies are very aggressive?

For me I have been making sure that daily I ground and center myself (sometimes multiple times a day). I go places that nourish me and are cooling (the woods has been a lovely one over the last few weeks), and I surround myself with music that soothes, sounds that soothe, colours that soothe (so no, I haven’t been wearing a lot of red and orange at the moment!)

I’m also sensitive about what I allow in in the way of news, information, conversations etc. So for example I have been listening to “Outrageous Openness” by Tosha Silver on repeat. As the message is very clear – we are all part of the whole. We are all connected, we are all little sparks of the Divine and not better than, less than any other little spark.

And last but not least I send Blessings galore to any fractious situation, person, place or thing that I encounter. (Don’t get me wrong, it may take me an hour or so to come to that place lol, as I’m still human!) Oh yes, and daily epsom salt scrub showers (cold at the moment).

So I highly encourage you to do things that nourish you on every level, and if necessary stay the heck away from people who are caught up in their entitled, anger driven state of mind.

Okay, I have chuntered a ton (not a surprise), so let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide this week, the glorious Faery Forest Oracle were adamant, which made me smile a lot. If this deck is new to you please let me introduce your guides (as that is always polite). “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.”

Okay delicious lovely, let’s ground and centre. Come back to your body (it’s safe) and allow your breath to soften and slow. See a delicious cooling pool in your mind’s eye. A pool of calm, cool, still water – inviting and deep. Allow your hand to trail through it, cooling your fingertips and then place them on the back of your neck. If you want a bit more extra support there is a lovely guided visualisation for you. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that caress your soft soul energy.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look.

THE ANCIENT

The Ancient is so old she is almost beyond time. She is able to speak the truth without compromise – as are you. She is so old, has experienced so much, learned and taught so many lessons, that she has become powerful and influential, just as you are becoming, too. So too are you growing older, coming into wisdom. She knows that while others are now going to come to you for advice and guidance, she sees your humanity – your faults and your flaws and your feelings of unworthiness. She wishes to reassure you.

Others will come to you, seeking knowledge, awaiting a blessing, an initiation, and oblivious to the consequences of the path they wish to walk. Wisdom, true wisdom, understands complexity, and you have developed this quality. The Ancient is honourable and human, and yet more than human, and she is courageous and has made sacrifices – as have you. She sees straight through comforting illusions – as do you.

She represents ancient tradition and the challenge of defining the self, yet remaining with a tradition that you value – and this too is one of your challenges. So take responsibility in your life. You will face the battle of choice, and you will be the antidote to gurus and dominant personalities who claim to have all the answers. The Ancient recognises the challenge of being a teacher. This immersion in a world to learn the ancient arts and venerate wisdom and old ways can be expressed in many forms, but everything you are now learning has value. She is the repository for ancient secrets and the contact between worlds. She is wise – and she has learned to consider every word that falls from her lips, even as she longs to call out for freedom.

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 WILD HUNT

There is, for all of us, a moment when excitement and nerves fuse, when we prepare to journey and do something we have anticipated for a long time. In the faery realm, this sensation is created by adventure known as the Wild Hunt. This is a gathering which takes place not only within the realm of faery, it is one where the faery king and queen lead faery hounds and faery horses on a hunt throughout the countryside, dipping into and out of the faery lands, surfacing in the human worlds from time to time, cleansing toxic energy, allowing natural forces to begin to flow through the cleared energy paths, awakening the wild world to brightest life once again, and leaving a trail of ecstasy and bliss after the frenzied storm of their ride.

The Wild Hunt is fierce, powerful, a little frightening, and thoroughly thrilling – and this faery queen is preparing herself for the joys and challenges of this great springtime event. So too you need to prepare yourself for some chaos – a wild time, when change tears through and upends all the order you have attached yourself to. You may need to pack, travel, find ways to move quickly, stop planning and organising for a moment and just go on an immensely enjoyable ride of your life.

The time coming for you is delirious in its excitement, and you fear this loss of control and order. But truly, it will refresh you, just as it sears the very edges of your nerves! Dress up, show up, and prepare to be amazed! Take a deep breath, find your voice, and begin to cry out at the top of your lungs. You are alive my friend, and will feel so more than ever before when the wild hunt touches your life!

Ah yes! Glorious guides for this fractious energy! Wishing you a stupendous week. There won’t be a reading next week as it is a holiday weekend. Oh yes, and quite a few of you have emailed saying that you missed out on the Solstice reading special, so I have opened up 3 more spots. Stay cool, drink water, do things that soothe and nourish you and remember – you are a glorious spark of the Divine! 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?

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.

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.

Happy Majestic, Magnificent, Magickal, Marvellous, Moony Monday!

“Transformation can always be challenging and often requires the painful work of peeling back layers, shedding skin, and birthing into the new. Each of these steps carries its struggles and magic, but under a Blood Moon Eclipse, the intensity level can be turned up.”

A lot happening yes, amazing yes, transformative yes. But are you willing?

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”.

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

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