Hello deer ones. 🦌🌲. It is still Winter around us, I feel like hibernating, especially now I have a ‘cold’. Wishing you warm blessings for gentle days ahead, take it steady. Happy New Numerical year.

✨ Do you have a query, an intention or puzzle that you feel you would like to explore within a meditation?

There is still time to book a Midwinter Oracle Consult with me. The offer is on until around 9th January. The special price is half that of a regular/full oracle consult.

This one is between 1 and 3 Oracle allies depending on the nature of the query and I weave the insights into a guided pathworking meditation. So each meditation is unique to the person and their oracles.

I either consult a deck, runes, oghams or journey with the query and see what ally/ies arise. (The latter is very effective!)

Give yourself some space and time to go inwards, to connect with your feelings and spirit, to find space and clarity.

🔗 You can book/buy a consult via my Kofi page. Link in Bio or comments below.

Omen Days - Day 2: Insights for February 2026.

I stood at the back door, the sky is blue and bright today (yesterday was heavy and cloudy). The wind stirred up, it felt like suddenly all life was dancing, enlivened by a need to get busy and focused on putting changes into place.

The key signs after I asked my query for February 2026 were -

Two Crows talking in upbeat tones to each other, flying across the neighbours garden towards the South (SW).

Lots of smaller birds darting between hedges and trees, all talking to each other.

Then around 7 or 8 Herring Gulls came in from the SW and circled above the neighbour’s garden and headed out towards the NW to the fields beyond. They were silent, no calls. The energy with them was very ethereal, liminal. Also unusual, as we rarely see Gulls here, (we are 13 miles from the coast, so not too far).

I sense there could be new connections starting to emerge in February, perhaps in personal lives (new friendships, relationships, working partnerships and so on) but also a sense of working together to accomplish something in harmony. My intuitive sense is that by seeding very clear and well communicated intentions at Imbolc (early February), we could see positive results by midsummer or Lughnasadh. Working in partnership with another, setting off along the same energetic pathway(s) will help with this.

Communication is key during February and also is moving energy, however that may look like for you. Whether walking, dancing, space clearing, activity will help to shift and uplift the spirit and keep one from dwelling too much on challenges. Community too will be important, ensuring that there is a sense of working together and pulling together.

And finally -

When certain approaches or ways of seeking spiritual food or connection are not seeming to click or work, let go. Try a new path or direction, find ways to connect with like minded others that you would not normally think of or consider. Allow for connections that go beyond usual forms of communication.

The Omen Days begin today. 12 days for each month of next year.

I intend to attune to Nature’s whispers a little more to discern any nuances for the year ahead….

Each day from now until 6th January can relate to each month - today’s omens relate to January and tomorrow’s relate to February and so on.

This practice is rooted in ancient Celtic traditions, likely from Brittany and Wales originally. It is known as Lae na Céalmhaine in Irish.

Apparently these 12 days are intercalary days, they are like ‘leftover’ days from when the lunar and solar calendars merged. They are liminal and a threshold between past and future. Connecting us to the sacred poetry of intuitive wisdom, ancestral practices and Nature’s oracle treasures.

So far today I have witnessed a Crow flying into cloud, there is an eerie quiet around the cottage. The landscape is shrouded in heavy clouds and birds are not as active as they have been on previous mornings.

A Wood Pigeon has just cooed down the chimney.

Based on this alone, I sense a sleepy, dreamy and reflective journey into January. I sense that things will feel unformed, heavy at times, unclear and yet progress is made with small acts of resilience and 'showing up' for our spirits even when things feel confused. Sometimes we have to just carry on even if it feels like we are headed into clouds. That when we are not in our egos and our heads, we will find ourselves humming and just being content with not having to work things out!

That using our voices to clear energy, to raise spirits, even when the situation feels like it could be squashing our voice is a light of hope, reassuring and provides relief. So not a month for the ‘trying’ focus. Letting things shift and form, patiently attending to the things we can, whilst waiting for the clouds to clear.

I will aim to share as many of the Omen Days insights I encounter on here as I can!

Many blessings xx

Cloudy, early morning sky on 26th December, in our village.

Blessed Yuletide.
Breathe.
Pause a moment.
These are Scots Pines, reminding our spirits to reach for our higher vision.

Midwinter Oracular Special Offer from Antlered Path!

I am doing it a bit different this year, instead of creating a spread with cards, runes or other for you, I am sharing the insights through a guided meditation on MP3.

🌟 You will receive a guided meditation - with an oracle/spirit ally who I pick in relation to a query. A summary of the key messages through a PDF document and an image if applicable. (I will be seeking the oracular connection through a journey on behalf of the querent/client, but can also offer oracle cards or runes if this is preferred).

🫎 The oracle will likely be just one ally so as to have a deep connection with it and therefore enable more of a personal communication with it. I find sometimes we can find out so much about what is occurring within our spiritual landscape through one ally alone, this is also a time to go in deeper.....

💻 To find out more and buy a special offer consult, please follow the link in my Linktree in the bio or comments.

✨ I am looking forward to honouring Seer practice this midwinter and sharing healing with you.

I have just posted my annual honouring of Reindeer Mother Spirit in time for Midwinter Solstice. This time of year is so sacred and it is also the anniversary of when I launched the Wild Wheel of Elen online course back in 2019. Although I no longer run the course I still feel the significance of the anniversary and of honouring Reindeer Mother at this time too.

In the post today, I share some sacred insights relating to the Reindeer Mother archetype and Goddess, to her potency as a 'between the worlds guide' and also some quotes from the beautiful 'Creation's Heartbeat - Following the Reindeer' book by Linda Leonard.

I share some different art images from artists I love on Reindeer Mother spirit.

Plus I talk about research that was conducted on Reindeer eyes and sight some years ago which revealed how their eyes are adapted to low light in winter and especially to the UV light rays. Plus more. Another connection to the 'Seer' energy of Reindeer Mother!

Plus I offer a gift of a guided journey/meditation with Reindeer Mother as the Antlered Seer. To support your vision seeking in the depths of winter, in the sacred dark of Mother Night.

Do travel over to the Substack and I hope you enjoy! The link is in my Insta Bio or comments below.

Have a blessed Solstice and Yuletide. May she light your path ahead.....

I have really enjoyed the journey with creating the monthly 'Blessings from the Trees' posts for paid subscribers on my Substack this year, in particular this weekend’s post on Elder/Ruis. This is the final post of such, I have honoured 13 of the Celtic tree spirits. (I will share a short post on Scots Pine though next weekend because it is linked to the day of the Winter Solstice and it feels like an important ally to share along the Winter Antlered Path).

The wealth of deep, gritty magic that arises from Elder Spirit is so tangible, even in writing about Her. She really is an ally of transformation, helping us to honour the darker aspects of life with respect and compassion, rather than fear. After sharing the post earlier I went out into the very windy late afternoon and sat briefly on the garden bench, taking in the energy of the ‘almost winter solstice’ and noticing the beauty of the dull light, the muddy and untidy wild bits of the garden and just accepting the current strangeness of this mild weather. Elder spirit was on the wind and raising small, cold blasts of energy within me.

In the post I share on just a little of the vast selection of folklore linked with Elder, in particular Mother of the Woods or Elder Tree Mother spirit. Together with some of my own unique connections with an Elder tree at an ancient burial site, Corscombe Stones, in West Dorset. I weave in the blessing spell at the end of the post and allow it to settle in to the web of wyrd with all the strength and respect I can muster.

Next weekend, in honour of midwinter, I share a meditation and post linked with Reindeer Spirit and the beauty of reindeer eyes (how well they are adapted to seeing in low light!). I also will share a very short blessing post linked to Scots Pine and it’s association with Mid Winter Solstice.

I welcome you to fly on over to the Substack if you feel called to support my work there, I am ever grateful for such. Blessed be.
