I've been using oracle cards for over 20 years and they have become a constant in both my personal and professional practices, offering connection, intuitive messages and wisdom.

Whether you are new to oracle cards or a seasoned reader, you are invited to come join me at the Renaissance Apothecary, Waterlooville in their relaxing community space* for our next Cuppa & Cards - explore around 30 different decks over a cuppa (tea, herbal teas, including sacred circle tea, and coffee available).

We will open the space with a short introduction and grounded exercise and then you will be allowed time to explore the different decks, reading for yourself and if you feel comfortable, maybe reading for others. It's a lovely space to meet new people and spend a moment away from the distractions of life.

I look forward to sharing this time with you!

I think now is the perfect time to discuss the absolute medicine of allowing everyone to seek light however they will...

The festive season approaches at speed and we each have our own ways of coping. Some embrace the joys head-on at full speed and some fear the light it will cast over their pain. 

Some show face by doing what they feel they should and some see it for what is is under the wrapping paper - a season to spread love and channel goodwill.

Whatever sea you are sailing right now you will undoubtedly travel far more peacefully if you find compassion for your own feelings as well as those of everyone else. 

Some people find the season so hard that they wrap themselves up tightly in lights, lest the dark overwhelm. 

These souls can often come under fire for flaunting timelines, tradition and rules - but the truth is - they are warriors. 
They are harnessing light where no light exists and creating hope out of tinsel and trinketry.
How wonderful. Let them.

Others find the season so hard that they are strongly swathed in survival. 
The instinct to hide from it all is louder than any peer pressure and they fear the overwhelm of other people’s frivolity and joy rubbing up against their loss.
They are doing what they need to do to get through to see another year rung in. 

It is the simple and bittersweet flipping of the human coin of love and loss, joy and sadness, dark and light. It will flip again in time.

The thing is. December is a lot. 
And life is already a lot. 
So many of us can be pushed to the edge of their limits, like the coins trickling down in an arcade coin machine.

Simple kindnesses are never wrong. 
Respecting a boundary, lands like love. 
Digging for what lies under outward behaviour and changing your tack to ride with that, is to know true compassion.

And whilst Christmas can be hard, it is also an opportunity to remember we are not separate, any of us.

Life connects us all.

We can see this season as a chance to remember what this life is all about - love. 

It’s about getting one another through. Let’s do whatever we need, to get one another through.

Yesterday a few of us from the Wisdom of Women Sisterhood gathered to watch Coven at in London.

This musical performance weaves together historical facts and devastating truths about the Witch Trials with humour, heart and the most amazing voices and musicians.

I cried, laughed, stifled down some rage and felt immense gratitude to the cast for sharing this important story in such a powerful way! Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙌

I highly recommend seeing it if you can (I'd go again if I could! )

Everything is changing so fast.... This is part of where my heart has been the last few days, missing the slowness
