Today's message is Faith

You are not doing this alone.
You never have been.
Your strength didn’t begin with you..
it was entrusted to you.

In the silence of winter...

“In the silence of winter, we are invited to evaluate how we want to use our precious life force. Take the time to look inside your heart. It’s your heart that carries the instructions from your soul and always knows what you most desire in life—what you most deeply wish to experience and to share. What we love most should inform what we do and how we do it. Winter is a perfect time for investigation and reconnection.”

There's still time to work with the energy of yesterday's New Moon.

Tonight, January 18, the New Moon offers you a moment of pure potential. This is a time to pause and decide what you want to invite into your life over the next two weeks.

By engaging in a ritual tonight, you signal to the Universe that you are ready to receive. The energy you put into motion now will expand as the moon grows, reaching a peak of manifestation by the Full Moon on February 1.

The Mirror of Truth Ritual

This ritual uses the power of your own presence to lock in your desires. It is highly effective because it requires you to witness your own worthiness.

To Prepare: Create a sanctuary in front of a mirror. Dim the lights to soften your surroundings and play soft background music to calm your mind. If you have incense, light it to signify that this moment is set apart from the busyness of the day.

The Process:

Define Your Focus: On a small piece of paper, write your specific intention. Use the present tense to show the Universe your certainty.

For Financial Freedom: "I am financially sovereign, and I trust that wealth flows to me in expected and unexpected ways."

For Connection and Reciprocity: "I attract high-vibe relationships where love, respect, and support are always returned to me tenfold."

For Clear Communication: "I speak my truth with grace, and I am understood perfectly by those around me."

Anchor the Energy: Hold your paper along with a piece of jewelry you wear often or a crystal. If you do not have these items, simply place both hands over your heart.

Witness Yourself: Look deeply into your own eyes in the mirror. Speak your chosen affirmation aloud three times. As you speak, feel the vibration of the words in your chest.

The Commitment: Place your paper and your anchor item (jewelry or crystal) on a windowsill where they can "see" the night sky.

As you move through the next fourteen days, remember that the Universe is a mirror. When you project a frequency of gratitude and clear communication, the Universe responds with matching opportunities. By repeating your affirmations daily, you maintain a high vibration that naturally draws in your desires.

By the time the Full Moon arrives, the seeds of intention you plant tonight will have transformed into the foundations of your new reality.

On January 19, a beautiful and rare meeting happens in the sky. The Moon moves very close to Venus, which is known as the Goddess of Love. This special moment brings a soft and warm energy to everyone on Earth. It is a wonderful time to focus on your heart and the people you care about most.

The Moon looks after our deepest feelings, and Venus brings beauty and romance into our lives. When they come together, they create a magical feeling of peace.

This is the perfect day to be kind to yourself and to show extra affection to those around you. You might feel a stronger desire to surround yourself with pretty things or to share a sweet moment with a partner.

This celestial event is an invitation to dream big about your future. It is a day for healing old hurts and starting fresh with a happy heart. You can use this energy to attract more goodness and kindness into your world.

Simply take a moment to look at the stars and feel the love flowing from the cosmos to you. You deserve to feel cherished and happy, and the universe is helping you make those dreams come true right now.

With everything going on in the world, I feel this is an important reminder that we don't have to let it consume us. Should we be aware? Yes. Should we allow it to fuel anger, fear, and animosity? Absolutely not. We can walk a path and make a difference not by bypassing the issues, but through acting from our hearts, whatever that guides you to do. Remaining detached from ownership of something while witnessing the dark & still holding your inner peace, light, and love within your heart is incredibly difficult. But that is Mastery.

There's a huge difference between spiritual bypassing and not owning things. Those connected to the light can acknowledge and be aware of the dark without indulging it. We are both. Choosing to hold and stay within your peace emits a vibration that is sent out into the collective as well as benefits your own well-being. You can still act/speak from a place of love while making changes in the world.

FRIDAY 9th JANUARY 2026

Some answers don’t come when they’re chased.
They arrive in the quiet.

Let the knowing come to you.

🕯 DAY FOUR. JANUARY 4th.
When the Earth Holds Its Breath.

In the Old Ways, the days following Yule were marked by containment, not movement.

Although the Sun has been reborn, the land has not yet answered.

Our ancestors understood something subtle and essential, Light returns before life responds.

This day sits within what was known as the held breath of winter, a pause where the earth gathers itself before the first signs of awakening.

Nothing blooms.
Nothing pushes.
Nothing announces itself.

Yet everything beneath the surface is reorganising.

Roots strengthen unseen.
Fate threads tighten quietly.
The body recalibrates after the deep work of the dark.

This is why this part of January can feel, heavy, slow, inward, emotionally muted or reflective.

This is not stagnation.
This is containment.

The Old Teaching. 🧙

The earth does not rush to meet the light.
It waits to be sure it will last.

So did the old ones.

January 4th was not a day for declarations, spellwork, or decisions.
It was a day for restraint because restraint preserves power.

As a Medium, this is a day where spirit steps back, allowing the soul to integrate without interference.
As a High Priestess, this is where wisdom is proven through patience.

Pagan & Witch Knowing. 🧙

What is forced now weakens later.
What is held now strengthens later.

The dark has not finished its work.

Today’s Practice Moving at the Speed of the Earth.

This is an observance, not a ritual.

At some point today:
Sit with both feet on the floor or earth.
Place one hand on your lower belly or heart.
Take three slow breaths.

On the final exhale, say quietly:

“I move at the speed of the earth.
I allow what is forming to take its time.”

Then return to your day without expectation.

Nothing else is required.

The Wheel is turning but it does so slowly, deliberately, and with purpose.

Blessed be,
Justine. 🧙💜

Don’t forget to gather your Jan 3rd full moon water.

On the night of January 3rd, 2026, cleanse a glass jar or crystal bottle and fill it with fresh water (spring or filtered water is ideal). Place the container outdoors or on a windowsill where it will be touched by the moonlight or the moons energy. As you set it out, take a quiet moment to focus your intention—whether it is renewal, clarity, protection, or new beginnings—and gently speak or think this intention into the water.

Allow the water to sit under the moon’s glowing energy overnight, absorbing lunar energy. On January 4th, retrieve your jar and seal it with gratitude. Label it with the date and purpose. This moon water can be used for rituals, altar blessings, cleansing tools or crystals, anointing candles, or adding a few drops to baths or floor washes to carry the moon’s energy into your daily magick. 🌙✨

FRIDAY 2nd JANUARY 2026

Some days ask less of us and more of our presence.
