Welcome to 2025, and Today’s Wolf Moon!

· · Leave a Comment

Dearest Gentle Reader,

We are slowly, quietly, calmly entering into 2025, and all that it portends! 

How are you most delicious lovely?  It feels like we haven’t connected for ages, but in reflection it has only been a few weeks!  And I will say I spent those couple of weeks facilitating The Omen Days (which is such a glorious way to enter a new year), and all the amazing women who participated really blew my hair back!

Welcome to 2025.  

I would love to tell you this will be a gentle year, but it’s going to be intense!

While our numerology points to a year of endings, astrologically, we are shown that all endings pave the way for new beginnings.  

As in 2025, we remarkably have four major planets and the lunar nodes changing signs. It is incredibly rare to have so many planets changing signs in one year, so this definitely makes 2025 stand out!

Also, remember we enter the Year of the Snake on January 29th, and if we look at the Snake it is continually shedding the old to make way for the new…..

Thus, instead of spending pages going through the above (as those of you who have signed up for Opening The Doors on 2025 will receive), let’s talk about today’s Full Moon.

Beneath the Full Moon of January 2025, something magical stirs and whispers secrets of old. The Wolf Moon brings a luminous and mysterious energy as it lights up the sky. 

January’s Full Moon meaning reminds us of our connection with the wild spirit of wolves.

The Full Wolf Moon occurs on January 13th, 2025, reaching its peak at 5:27 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

January gets its name from Janus, the Roman god of all beginnings. 

Janus is often depicted with two faces, one looking to the past and the other to the future. This makes January the perfect month for reflection and fresh starts. 

Which is why we are starting Flourish on January 18th!

If you have been sitting on the fence, there are only two spots left and you won’t regret gifting one to yourself!

As the New Year dawns, the world remains cocooned in darkness during these short, fleeting days. 

Yet, we’re hopeful as we nestle in our homes during these cozy, chilly nights. 

The Wolf Moon is a time for rituals involving inner strength, protection, and connecting with Winter’s wisdom.

There are so many rituals to do at this Moon Time that connect you to your inner strength and Winter’s Wisdom.

A simple one to do is go Howl at the Moon.

In a place where you feel comfortable, stand with your feet apart and your hands on your hips in your best superhero pose (Grey’s Anatomy fans will know what I’m talking about). Studies (like this one from Harvard) have shown that if you maintain this position for five minutes, you will perform better at a difficult task. It also helps build confidence.

However, why stop there? Think of a negative feeling or stressful situation that’s burdened you. Now, while maintaining your superhero pose, give a few big howls. Imagine that worry and negativity leaving your body. In its place is nothing but tranquil energy and peace.

This can be a wonderful way to release tension, anxiety, or heavy emotions. I mean, at minimum, it’s a big mood booster.

I’ve also created some fabulous Journal prompts to help you dig a bit deeper.

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

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

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

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

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s Go See Shall We?

JOKER IS WILD

The Universe has a sense of humour, but never at your expense.  It is laughing with you, not at you.  You’ll see this for yourself as the Joker weaves her magic in your life, bringing you the grace that is beyond all reason, the necessary ingredient to ensure you win with the hand you have been dealt by life.  

There’s nothing impossible when the Joker appears.  Her wild ways can transform a losing streak into a lifelong love affair with Lady Luck.

Strap yourself in and prepare for the ride of a lifetime.  The Joker has come to you and the Joker is wild.  Unpredictable and brilliant, she brings you a message.  

You are being empowered to overcome all odds.  So you are going to win.  No doubts, no dramas, but not necessarily in a way that you expect either!  

She is sending the best possible situation to you even now.  It might startle you, like a sudden light in the middle of the night, but it will be welcome nonetheless.

The Joker is the highest trump card to beat all others.  

No matter how much another may seem to have the upper hand, or how many forces seem to be against you, even if you feel like a lone wolf about to be mauled by a pack of hungry lions, the Joker always wins.  

She comes out of the blue, and changes destiny from darkness to light.  She brings the brilliant solution that ends a problem, the way through that is best and brightest.  

You probably won’t see it coming.  It will probably be in a way that subverts everything you once believed to be true. 

But it will be a welcome trick by the Universe, a loving joke that opens your heart and helps you realise that this vast impersonal universe personally knows and cares for you, so intimately and with such meticulous care. 

Just don’t expect to feel in control of the process, for the Joker is wild and moves according to her own genius, but always blesses you with what will work best, beyond compare, now and always.  

RED COUNTESS

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

Even so, you are hearing an inner truth, and deep down, you know it.  Can you trust that it is safe to not only hear your inner voice but act on it too?

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

Give your truths value.  Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense. 

Know that they’re worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying.   

If you cannot figure out what your inner truths are, or you feel confused by conflicting thoughts and feelings, torn between head and heart, then you are in a state of information overload.  

You need to switch off, discharge some excess mental and emotional energy and take a break.  Give yourself some time out from the crazy noise and constant distractions of the world so you can get in touch with what is true for you.

SILVER SIREN

When is an enchantment not enchanting?  When it is a spell that you allow to consume your free will, even as it promises so much and yet delivers so little.  

The Silver Siren sings her song, a pretty poison to the soul.  Her false allure tempts the mind, even whilst the heart feels that something is not quite right.  

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

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

The Silver Siren is a false light that is so very enticing but so destroying.  To disempower the false light, you must stay true to what your heart says. 

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

You are being given an opportunity for empowerment.  It is time to trust yourself and stand firm with your truths, and to experience the priceless sense of love, safety, security, peace and self-possession that this brings.  

With this, your soul can sing its own song, a song that shares true light, the lightness of a heart that lives in peaceful truth with the world.

Holy Hannah, you can’t make this shit up!  What fabulous guides to kick us off in January.  

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

Use the Wolf Moon energy to really release and allow you to dream.  

Big hugs and squeezes, and if you want to join us for Flourish, there are 2 spots open and we start January 18th.

Last Reading of 2024 and Blessings for The Holiday Season.

· ·

Happy Last Reading of 2024!

I think we can all agree it has been a year, and here we are amidst the holiday season prep and doing.  

I do invite us all to remember that for some this season is most challenging, they may feel alone, have lost someone, feel overwhelmed or a myriad of other things.

Last weekend I took all the females in my family (daughter, girlfriends, friends) to go see Mom’s The Word: Talking Turkey, an incredible play.

Wowzer, it was funny, it was poignant, it was real and raw.  

5 women acting out and sharing their Holiday experiences, things that worked, things that didn’t, people that had died.  Wowzer.

As we just welcomed the Winter Solstice on Saturday, it opened the door into Winter for us.

And for those who asked if they can still join The Omen Days Journey, yes! 

The amazing Solstice gathering was recorded and we start on December 26th.  So come join us all, it will change how you end the year!

This is a magical season full of transformation and deep internal work.

It may seem counterproductive to pause, rest, and reflect. 

However, remember that your worth isn’t defined by what you’ve accomplished. 

Slow down and be fully present in activities that truly bring you joy and pleasure. Before you know it, Spring will be here, so enjoy these quiet moments of rest and solitude.  

So why not create a to-do list for this Winter holiday that captures your inner child. 

What would you like to do to bring more holiday magic to the season?

With so many obligations during December, find time to slow down and read a book you enjoy. 

With the longer nights and colder days, it’s a perfect time to snuggle up and relax. 

Pick something purely for pleasure or a non-fiction book that can help you learn something new or change your perspective.

Spend time in reflection and creating the space for the next year (and no this is not a TO DO thing), that’s why we do The Omen Days (and yes, it doesn’t start until the 26th so you have time to join.)

This is about really looking at what nourishes your heart and soul at this time.  

Yes, there are some family obligations, but if spending 2 hours with Uncle Mervin makes you want to pull your hair out, then only spend an hour – and have boundaries!

Okay enough of me chuntering as we all have stuff to do!

Let’s crack on with the reading.  When I sat with all my lovely decks and asked who felt a strong urge to come support and guide us this week as we head into the dark and the shortest day I was tickled to see who hopped up. 

The glorious guides who were adamant are the Sacred Destiny Oracle.  So in case  you have never met them, let me introduce you – and if you have met them before, let me reintroduce you (as not to do so is rude!).  “You have a sacred destiny; we all do.  There is a powerful and profound reason that you are here on the planet.  However, sometimes it may be difficult to understand what that reason is and perceive what is required on your journey into the future.  It may be a challenge to know what the next step in life should be.  This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul.  In ancient traditions, shamans, medicine women, witches, visionaries, and prophets all accessed hallowed knowledge by observing their natural environment.  These wise beings stepped through mystic gateways into inner realms to bring back meaning to the seemingly random event of life. “

I seriously snorted tea out of my nose when they appeared.  Why?  Re-read the last two lines.  

Okay darling one.  Please take a moment to just relax.  Don’t worry about if the lights look great, or how you are going to deal with Uncle Tony at the Xmas dinner.  Just BE here NOW.  Take a massive deep breath out first through an open mouth.  Then allow your breathing to find its open delightful, rich rhythm and let your shoulders drop.  

As we have just lit the third candle of Advent, Joy, the candle of the animal world. 

So what does Joy feel like to you right now?  Is it elusive or is it permeating your being. 

Breathe.  

If you want to play with Joy a bit more I have a guided visualisation for you.

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

STAYING FOCUSED

Be clear about where you are going.  Do not compromise!

Follow your dreams; you deserve the best.  Prioritise your life.  

Once you decide on a direction, hold the course.  Do not veer.  Do what’s important, and release the rest.  Place your intent and passion on one thing, rather than scattering in many directions,and you will be successful.

On the path, it’s easy for the traveler to be distracted by people, events, and even shiny objects.  Do not take any side roads.  Stay the course.

Keep going, no matter what emerges on your path that distracts you.  It’s easy to get lost and forget where you’re heading.  Recommit yourself to your destination.

What you focus on is what you create, so put your attention on what is worthwhile, beautiful, and inspiring. 

Refrain from focusing on what’s not working: only focus on the direction you want to go.  

MIRACLES

Just around the bend, a miracle is waiting to happen.  

Release fear and uncertainty, and majestic wonders wait to unfold for you.  

Watch for them and embrace them.  Some come in an unlikely form.  Trust that all is unfolding for your highest good.  Expect miracles in your life.

What is expected tends to be realised.  The more you become aware of the small marvels in your life, the more you will grow in magnitude.  Celebrate and cherish them when they appear, no matter how small they may seem.

What others see as ordinary, you see as wondrous.  Look at your life in a new way.  Let go of fear and expectation, and allow the Goddess to solve your challenges in mysterious and wondrous ways.  

Don’t limit the way you think miracles can appear in your life.  All is well.

FARAWAY PLACES

Stop playing it safe.  

Get ready for new horizons and change in your life.  A journey is coming.  

It might be to foreign lands or faraway places, or may be an inner shift that changes your destiny.  It’s all beneficial.  Sometimes we can feel wobbled when we are not in our normal surroundings, however, you are safe and protected.  Good fortune ensues.

Part of the glory of travel is stepping out of old habits, routines, and the repetitiveness of everyday life.  It can feel daunting, yet in no small way your life is a spiritual voyage.  Change is coming.  Things are not as they seem. There are no wrong turns; every adventure and missed-venture is part of the course.  

You are on a pilgrimage of the soul.  Keep your metaphorical bag packed; some unexpected experiences are ahead.  Be ready for anything.  The joy of travel is that you can begin to experience the everyday as if you are seeing it for the first time.  

Nothing should be taken for granted.

Absolutely perfect!  How did that feel for you?  Wishing you a stupendous Holiday season.  Remember to play for goodness sakes and don’t get caught up in what you think it “should look like”, sending you massive warm hugs, big gingerbread kisses and golden light!  Talk to you in 2025.

Omen Days, Solstice and the Last Full Moon of 2024!

· ·

Happy Mellow, Mothering, Meditative, Mindful, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

Okay, grab a large cuppa of something warm and magickal, as we have so much to chat about this week!  Are you ready?  You settled and cosy?  

We have the last Full Moon of 2024 coming up this Sunday on the 15th. 

We have Solstice (which I friggin love) rapidly approaching. 

The glorious Omen Days course (which I hope you will join – it’s a game changer to putting the year to bed and creating something for 2025 – ask the last 185 people who participated, lol.

And Personal Theme readings! Let alone the Book of Winter Solstice (aka BOWS).  

So where should we start?

Personally, I am going to start with Omen Days, aka the Sacred Days and Yuletide.  These are the glorious days that happen from Boxing Day to January 6th (do you see why we have the song “12 Days of Xmas?”- hijacked from the Omen Days.)

These are days that are reckoned with at the end of the year to catch the Roman calendar up with the Solar Calendar.

As such these days between December 26th and January 6th are considered to be time out of time.  Almost like you’ve slipped the bounds of the normal calendar.  And you’re in an in-between space.  A liminal space.  

Interestingly in our culture the same is true.  That period between Xmas and the first days of the New Year tends to be a very amorphous time; a time when you very much feel like you’re in transition or in limbo.

This is where the magic gets created for 2025.  

And as I mentioned – I have created a glorious course with all sorts of yumminess that will have you ditching your “New Year’s Resolutions” with abandonment. So come play with us!

I would love for  you to experience a different way of putting 2024 to bed and envisioning 2025.  One that you can feel in your bones, and cells.  That calls to your ancient memories.  

So why am I bringing that up first?

First to let you know registration will be open on Thursday December 12th (so watch your inbox) and secondly………..

The Full Moon in Gemini that happens on the 15th is the last full moon of 2024.

Let’s be honest, this has been a most “interesting” year….

This Full Moon is a powerful point of release. 

While it is important to honor where we have been and our journey thus far, this Full Moon is also signaling us to let go of all that is heavy.

What is no longer ours to carry? What do we want to leave behind in the ashes of 2024? It is time to set those intentions. It is time to release all that we no longer wish to bring with us into the new year.

Write it all down; get it out to the Universe. Let the Universe, let yourself know what is no longer going to join you in 2025.

“Take a moment to pause. Quiet your mind. Perhaps take a deep, enriching breath and just honor where you are today.

You have made it.

Whatever 2024 had in store, you are now at the end of it.

And you should feel proud of just how far you have come.

Through all the ups and downs, through all the trials and tribulations, here you are. 

Open, ready, and eager to learn. Eager to keep deepening your spiritual understanding of the world we live in.

Hold space for that for just a moment.

Honor yourself. Love yourself more than you ever have at this moment. “

Which again ties into The Omen Days and puts this year to bed with intention, awareness, compassion and forgiveness.  

Okay, now do you see how all the pieces – Omen Days, Full Moon, and Personal Theme Readings tie in?

Oh hang on, I forgot to mention Personal Theme Readings – or Opening the Doors to 2025 as I call them.  Instead of writing about it (and making you question when I am going to shut up), you can pop over and see if it resonates for you.  Spots are limited, so if this calls to you I highly suggest grabbing one.  

Wow, that was a lot to impart (and I hope you absorbed most of it).  Let’s crack on with the reading!

Okay so when I asked my glorious giddy guides who they wanted to play with this week.  I was a tad surprised!  

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

At the edge of the mind awaits the holy wilderness of the soul.  

It beckons you, like a great forest filled with vast mysteries and wonders.  While this mystical realm exists in a higher dimension, beyond normal reality, it is real nevertheless.  To enter this mystical realm, it’s simply a matter of having an open heart and an open mind.  

In this healing and holy place, long-sought answers to your deepest questions become known.  Ancient wisdom emerges.  Revelations about your future are revealed.  Hidden talents and abilities are activated with you.  It’s a place where miracles unfold, and your spirit can fly. 

 In the deepest sense you remember who you are.  

Okay gorgeous bean, here we are with the holiday season rapidly approaching, and yet the place of Solstice.  The longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.  

The place of release and moving into the warm, feminine darkness that nurtures and supports.  I invite you to take a long, deep, luxurious breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.  Let your face relax, your jaw relax and the worries of the day drop to the floor like soft gentle rain drops or snowflakes. 

Then I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a glorious warm dark night sky, you feel safe, you feel supported and held and as the clouds pull away  you see stars that will guide you.  Breathe that in.  Allow this gorgeous Feminine Darkness to gently wrap around you and guide you and then when you are ready pick a card or cards that call to you.

You picked yes?

Shall we go see?

DAFFODIL FAIRY

New Beginnings

You feel a tap on your shoulder, and in a flash of yellow, you see a Daffodil Fairy fly by you.  In a high, sweet voice she says, “The best is yet to be!  It’s time for a new beginning!”  With glee, you race after her into the forest.

Life goes in cycles.  Just as spring follows winter, a new cycle is beginning in your life.  In the phases of the earth, the plants die in the fall so that there can be new birth in the spring – it’s the universal dance of death and rebirth.  There’s a time to end and begin, and this is the close of one cycle and the beginning of another.

We associate the daffodil with spring, as it is one of the first flowers to emerge after the snows.  Its shape echoes the feeling of trumpeting in the new season; its colour suggests vitality, radiance, and sunshine.  

It’s time to wipe the slate clean; it’s time to release the old and start again.

It can be difficult to release familiar routines, situations, or relationships when they no longer empower you; however, your higher self encourages you to not cling to the old, but set sail into new waters.  If you find yourself afraid to let go, you are urged to face your fear and allow yourself to stretch in a new direction.

The Creatrix is at your side, and wonderful opportunities will be born in your life.  Wholeness occurs when you can say yes to both endings and beginnings.

It’s time to start a new project or a new cycle.  Life force and vitality are emerging.  Release that which doesn’t serve and support you.  Make way for a new start!

FOGGY BOG

Patience

The fog in the forest is so dense, you can’t see your hands in front of your face.  You take a step forward; the soil is soft and spongy.  You realise that you are standing in a bog and to go forward is to risk sinking deeper into the mud.

The best strategy is to be still and wait for the fog to lift.

Be quiet and still.  The time is not right to go forward now.  

It’s hard to see what lies ahead, and the truth of things may not be as they initially appear.  Events that seem one way may, in fact, be completely different.

Just as the egret exhibits great patience as he waits for a fish to emerge, so too must you be still and allow the truth to emerge.  In this state of obscured visibility, your imagination can surge forward and spark your intuition.

If you can wait long enough, your sixth sense will be ignited.  Listen to your inner yearnings and pay attention to those seemingly random thoughts.  

Water represents emotions, feelings, and the subconscious.  When the water becomes condensed as fog, it obscures the true shape of things.  We can’t see clearly the way we can in the light.

Don’t allow unexamined emotions to overwhelm your growth.

Have patience.  Wait until the fog lifts before taking action.  The truth will emerge in time; you just need to go deeper.  

Follow your intuition.  

GUARDIANS OF THE LAND

Protection

“You are safe.”  These words seem to emerge from the land and radiate from the trees to echo in your soul.  You hear these words again and again.  

The Sacred Guardians of the Land are whispering to you, “You are safe.”  

You know that you are protected and cared for.  You can feel tendrils of their loving energy wrap around you and embrace you.  Their unleashed power cocoons you in safety.

You are enough, just as you are.  No matter what has happened or occurred in the past, the truth is that you are absolutely and unconditionally enough as you are.

You are loved.  You are cherished.  

Do not be concerned about outside forces and the judgements and expectations of others.  You are protected in your own energy field.  Envision a protective shield around yourself and around your home.  Spend time with people and in situations that uplift your energy rather than draining it.

You are safe and surrounded by a glorious protective shield.  You are not alone; your life is guided and protected by higher forces.

Within this knowing-ness you can soar to great heights.  Breathe wee one.  Trust.  

Oh my giddy aunt!  Those glorious beasts were delicious.  How did they resonate for you?  So darling one, wishing you a week of ease, grace and flow.  Don’t get tangled in any one else’s stuff, tinsel or lights.  If it resonates for you to come join Omen Days – please do.  If  you want to find out your Personal Theme, please do.  If you just want to be left the fuck alone and celebrate Solstice as you like – grab the Winter Solstice book.

See you next week.

Joy, Grief and Mercury Retrograde…..

· ·

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

How are you – really?

I ask as I truly want to know.  Our patterns of processing anger, fear, change, anxiety, joy and grief are not linear.  We don’t work through them daily from point A to point B and then tada – we are fine!.

So how do we feel what we need to feel and not get submerged or lost in it all?

I think it’s exceptionally important to ask oneself “What am I willing to feel or do at this moment in time?”  

An example.  As some of you know my Mothership died 5 months ago and within the space of 5 days my family of origin fragmented and was filled with attack, dysfunction and the most ridiculous behaviour I have witnessed from grown arsed adults.  Which left me to do the majority of the packing up of things, as there was only 3 weeks to do it in.

The dysfunction and attacks were so brutal that I postponed the Celebration of Life to allow those individuals to try and get their poop in a group – which still hasn’t happened.  Thus, we are moving ahead with a Celebration this Saturday.

Why am I sharing all this?

Because, to help me be able to do all the pieces that have needed to happen after her death and planning and organising the celebration of life (as the sibling has left it all to me), I put my grief in a box and stuffed it in the back of the closet.

After all, there was so much to do, right?

So the Grief got stuffed and in the midst of that stuffing there have been so many pockets of Joy!

Going on my month-long Odyssey through Ireland and the UK.  Coming home to my family cooking an amazing Thanksgiving dinner.  Playing in my garden.  Hiking with the dogs.  The work that I love.  Planning and implementing a surprise birthday gathering for my only girl the other weekend.  Bowling for my son Sam’s birthday this weekend. 

But yet the Grief kept wriggling in the box and finally blew the lid off on Tuesday.

I woke up bright and early, and Grief came rushing in, along with anger, resentment towards my sibling, abandonment, feeling overwhelmed – you name it and I sobbed for most of the day.  I walked and sobbed, I wrote and sobbed, it all just felt like too much.

There were still so many things to do, to organise to get ready for this Celebration of Life, what the fuck man!

So I took myself and the doggos for a massive walk in the pouring rain and within minutes there was a huge rainbow glistening against the dark clouds and a wee voice reminded me – acknowledge the Joy, find the Joy, pause and feel it.

Which I did.  It was tiny, but the glimmer was there.

Then as I curled up into a ball and my dogs came and snuggled, there was another glimmer, and within two days I was coming back to centre.

So I decided to take that grief, anger, and all the myriad of other feelings along with the Joy and create something.  I gathered a bunch of driftwood, I sat on the ground and I built a 3 foot high Rememberance Tree for the Motherships service.  

Yes, I got cold and wet.  Yes it felt fabulous to take that energy and funnel it into something creative and honouring.  

So with the holidays coming up in the States (Thanksgiving), and then Christmas – for many, the holiday season is full of joy and connection; for others it can be a painful reminder of what’s missing. 

Perhaps you’ve lost someone you love, or maybe you’re grieving the end of a relationship or the loss of a job.  You may be living far from family or grieving the recent election. 

When we don’t allow ourselves to feel pain, we also stifle the experience of joy.

So, grieving well means having resilience for feeling the pain, but also knowing that you are okay, that you will make it through, and, as a result, that you will experience both immense pain and immense joy.

Remember, whatever it is you’re holding, it’s valid and can be acknowledged in a way that feels personal and meaningful to you.  

Find something that you do daily that is the tether to guide you back to Joy.  

What is that for you?  

How do you bring yourself back to centre and reconnect to something bigger than yourself that loves you to pieces?

And remember – Mercury Retrograde starts November 25th and goes through until December 15th.

So instead of giving it a bad spin, let’s reframe it.

While Mercury is moving through the underworld, it is a good time to slow down, go back over things, revisit the past, and pay attention to subconscious thoughts and programming. 

Mercury retrograde can be a healing and highly intuitive time when we use it this way.

Re-visit, Re-envision, Re-lease, Re-imagine.

When we slow down and take in the big picture we can do that, yes?

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

“These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth.  Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world.  We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK.  Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense.  She wants so much more for you.  She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny.  She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart.  She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you.  You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true.  There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed.  Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity.  She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart. “ 

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time.  Woosah!

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

ANGEL OF TRUTH

The truth wants to be told, needs to be heard.  It may seem like the whole world wants to believe in a lie, and so you wonder if you are crazy, if you are the only one who is thinking differently and desiring the real story to emerge.  Yet those that fight against the truth are even more in need of it!  There can be no healing, no freedom, no moving one without it.  

You are going to be blessed with a truth revealed, a realisation about yourself, the world or others that will bring you relief.  It will happen at the right time.  It will set your soul free.  

Sometimes, the lies we are repeatedly told become so familiar that we forget that they are lies and begin to believe that they are real.  Maybe it’s someone judging us that is the lie.  Maybe it’s advertising and the media, which are often more about deceptive manipulation that a source of correct information.  Whatever the source, all untruth teaches us the same thing – that we must be afraid and hate each other.  

When we are fed so  many false truths, it can become hard to remember what real truth feels like.  It can even start to seem like the truth doesn’t matter as much as being able to convince another person to accept your point of view.  This is like poison for the soul.

The soul needs truth like your body needs air.  It keeps it alive.  Deep in your soul, you know what is true, and you know when you, or anyone else, is not being truthful.  You are sensitive enough to know that only truth feels good for you.  You must give yourself permission to be truthful with your own soul and live honestly, authentically and bravely in this world.  It is the only way for you to be really you.  

QUEEN OF HEARTS

Your heart has been chosen by the Divine to be a temple for spiritual light, an inner place where grace and healing can dwell.  This is very special.  A temple is kept clean and pure, scented with sacred perfumes of incense, made beautiful with our feelings uncluttered and spacious so that as much spiritual presence as possible can enter.

When spirit enters and fills the temple of the heart, things of extraordinary beauty take place.  Even the seemingly impossible becomes possible.  Clear your heart temple with forgiveness, gratitude and love for the spirit, so it can fulfil its divine destiny of being a sacred channel for beautiful divine grace.

The mind may believe it has got the power to rule, but, in truth, the heart is queen.  You are a true goddess of love, one who consults the heart for answers.  You will courageously follow the guidance of the heart.  Even when the mind doesn’t want to surrender to the call of the heart, and fearfully lists numerous reasons why it is crazy and stupid and will end badly, you know that the doubt of the mind is no match for the power of the heart.  

Things don’t need to make sense to your mind or to anyone else, they just need to make sense to your heart.  You are already a divine queen, your heart aflame with passionate purpose.  Stay true to your heart’s wisdom and you will change the world!

EARTH GODDESS

To live the dream, we have to surrender the fantasy.  This can be painful.  It feels like the end – when, in fact, it is the beginning.  Once the pain passes, there is the joy of what we have yearned for coming to life.  It may not be as perfect as the fantasy, but it will be real, and it can nourish us.  We can build our appetite for life with dreams, but we cannot be fed by them.  

The soul requires real life experience to become fully alive, to have experiences and grow.  There’s a fantasy that wants to become reality for you.  Don’t let a few gritty moments or human imperfections prevent you from experiencing the joy of heaven on Earth.

You have beautiful dreams and wonderful visions of what life could be.  It is not enough to imagine them.  You want to live them!  This is exactly how you are meant to feel.  For that to happen, you must practise feeling grounded, taking practical earthly steps, one at a time, to bring your dreams to life.

The Universe will send so much help your way, but you are the one who must take the steps.  Spirit cannot do that for you.  Even if you are not sure how your biggest, boldest dreams can come together, you can still ask  yourself, “What is it that I can do now?”

Remember you are an Earth Goddess.  You have the power to manifest your visions, to bring your beautiful ideas to life in the world.  This is what you are here to do.  Remember to love yourself enough to recognise your creative power and use it joyfully each day.  

Fuck yes!  Glorious guides for this time.  Wishing you all a stupendous week and there will not be a reading next week as I need to be present in this experience, see you in December.  Huge hugs and be gentle with yourself, and find your glimmers and Joy moments and hold them tight.

Dearest Gentle Reader, let’s get personal shall we?…….

· ·

Dearest Gentle Reader,

(I have wanted to say that for so long!) 

It feels like it has been a hot minute!  Actually it has been 3 months of a hot minute.

So let me explain why – as no, you haven’t been abandoned and I most certainly have appreciated the emails and messages and check ins.

If you are not interested in hearing about it, please skip to the reading part.  Okay?

As many of you know, my mothership and I had an “interesting” relationship at times.  She could be incredibly judgemental, unkind and most certainly loved to point out I was the Black Sheep.

For the last 3 and a bit months prior to the mothership choosing MAID on June 7th, I went and spent time with her every day.

And in that time I received an incredible, amazing blessing and gift.

She allowed her armour to drop, the judgements to fade away and we laughed and talked and teased and loved in a way I can’t ever remember doing with her.  It truly was an incredible gift.

Now if you don’t know what MAID is, it’s Medical Assistance In Dying.  

She had chosen this prior and it was meant to be a month out but on that day she had had enough, so it was 2 hours heads up! 

And as of 1:13pm on June 7th things started getting “interesting.”

First off, my brother (only surviving family member), who turned up 10 minutes before the MAID process, expressed to me after she died his disappointment in me that I had called the funeral home, as he felt we should leave her body there for 3 days so he could visit it and be with her.

Hmm.  Appreciating this is the man that last year at my sister’s Celebration of Life decided to strip down to swim trunks and swim in her scattered ashes.

With her death we were then presented with the fact that her home, her life, her things had to be packed up, sorted, and distributed in under a month!  So needless to say the only way for me to do that was to take time off work and put my grief in a shoebox in the back of the closet.

My brother was useless as tits on a bull to be blunt and instead advised everyone (including my children) that none of us understood his complex grief and then went on an attack rampage focused solely on his perceived slights, misunderstandings and anger which he kindly directed fully at moi!

Toss on the cherry on that explosive toxic cake that the executor is his ex-wife who decided to work out some of her dysfunction with him and the attacks and vitriol were coming in quick and fast.

So here we are 3 months out and I had postponed my Mum’s Celebration of Life due to this fucked up family dynamic, have offered solution after solution which have all been discarded and finally came to the place of Enough!  

Not a “Fuck You” enough, but a heart and soul based “No.”

My shoebox in the closet is asking to be opened, my children are looking to honour their Nanny and have healing, grieving and closure.

Thus, the celebration of life now has a date, I’ve been super clear about my boundaries and have fully distanced myself from my brother and his ex wife and hopefully he gets to a point where he doesn’t hold the whole family hostage and will allow the Will to go to probate.

Huzzah!

Now, why am I sharing this with you?

Because, transparency is important to me and I feel that I have been in Imago for the last 3 months. 

Imago is what happens when a caterpillar cocoons before they transform, thus not a caterpillar, nor a butterfly – just the goo, a third entity unto itself.  

So within this glorious goo phase many things have changed.  My work, my life, my thoughts.

So yes, there is a reading today, will there be one weekly over the next month – No and I will explain why shortly.  

Also, within this process it’s been most interesting and I have relearned that when one closes off a whole huge piece such as grief and the death of the last parental – it also closes out a lot of joy and magick and seeing the delight in the every day.

I’ve also noticed that many around the world are in that place of Imago – the not knowing as our world seems to go to hell in a handbasket politically, financially, economically and yet there is a collective yearning for something more supportive, loving and joyful.  

Can you feel it?

So let me ask the questions of you that I have been exploring in great depth for the last 3 months.

What does your heart want (not your brain)?  

What does your soul need?  

How can you bring that into your life in a more tangible way?

What have you put off due to overthinking that would make your soul sing?

What do you need to release to allow more of that yumminess in?

Why those questions?

Because when you are in the Imago, the goo, they bring you back to your essence, they bring you back to Source and Love and they provide you with the breadcrumb trail to follow, which often is not logical at all.

An example of this in my own life is – for all you amazing ones who joined in when we did The Omen Days, if  you remember you had 13 wishes and by the end of the Omen Days you were left with one, yes?

That last wish was the one you were meant to create this year.  

My wish that I was left with was “I am travelling Ireland, UK and Wales and exploring the Sacred Sites.”

It’s been a goal and a dream I have had for at least 2 years and I kept putting it off and putting it off.

However, with all the drama of the last 3 months, and asking myself those questions every day, paring back the things that were done and allowing myself to sit in the Imago – guess what?

I leave in less than a week!  

Spirit, Soul and Heart have said over and over again – “It’s time to go back to your roots, it’s time to embrace the ancestral healing and love, it’s time to open and transform.”

So I am.  Hence why there won’t be weekly readings for the next 5 weeks!

However, for all of you who have asked, will there be an Equinox Guide, yes. 

She will be released this Wednesday.

I personally will be spending Equinox (September 22nd), my birthday, my 60th birthday at New Grange in Ireland.  If you don’t know this site – go check it out, it’s delicious.

Okay, that was a lot of openness and sharing, and for those of you who have skipped straight to the reading let’s crack on shall we?

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

“These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth.  Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world. 

We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK. 

Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense.  She wants so much more for you.  She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny.  She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart.  She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you. 

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

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time.  Woosah!

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

EARTH GODDESS

To live the dream, we have to surrender the fantasy.  This can be painful.  It feels like the end – when, in fact, it is the beginning.  Once the pain passes, there is the joy of what we have yearned for coming to life.  It may not be as perfect as the fantasy, but it will be real, and it can nourish us.  We can build our appetite for life with dreams, but we cannot be fed by them.

You can’t make this shit up!  Seriously. 

So my gorgeous one, a message for you:- Whatever you are going through, bring it into your heart and your soul and ask the questions.  Follow the breadcrumb trail with faith and love, big love and trust that you are positively perfect and in the right space right now and everything is unfolding for your highest good.

You may get travel missives, you may not.  

Otherwise, see you in mid October.  

Big love and hugs,
