THE CHILDREN OF THE SUN ARE COMING
The Children of the Sun are coming. They’re so very near. In fact, some are already here. It’s our job to pave the way for them. To keep the light behind their eyes beaming bright. To never let it disappear. Some of these souls haven’t been here before, but we’ve been with them. Do you remember? They’re ready to be here now. Some are already here.
There are souls coming that the mystics have been calling the golden ones. They come in knowing, remembering, present, clear. We must do what we can now to clear the way for them – to chisel the container within ourselves for their arrival. To prepare the garden, to open the borders, to destroy the walls, to abolish the separation, to open the gates, to return to the arms of the Earth. For them and for us.
Sensitive and strong. Awake and intelligent. Soul woven into matter. The great Grandmothers have been weaving for and dreaming of their arrival. They’re so almost here.
We must do what we can to preserve their innocence by remembering our own. By growing up, by being reborn while still fully living. By finding a way to become more and more alive as we age, by incarnating more and more fully. To open, open, open.
They’re lining up to come: To be birthed, welcomed, and recognized by those who have refused to stay asleep. They’re calling forth the guardians of the Earth. The future ancestors. The elders of the Earth.

How to hear the voice of your soul
Hearing the voice of your soul is actually very easy. Anyone can do it. But it does take consistency. Your soul is always calling, every moment of every day, the more time to spend with it, the clearer the calls become.
You can never be too old to hear and answer the callings of your soul and it can never be too late. For the truth of the matter is that your soul is always calling, it was calling yesterday, it is calling today and it will be calling next week.
Answering the callings of your soul isn’t a one-time act; it’s a constant conversation. It’s not actually about doing one big thing or finding one single answer to the great big question: “what is my purpose?” It’s doing hundreds and thousands of little things in a direction, one after the other. It’s through following each and every little call (a step here and a leap there) that we find ourselves living the life we are most called to live – I call it living a soul-led life.
Your soul knows your path. Keep listening to and acting on the whispers each and every day.
Committing to the discipline of a daily practice doesn’t mean you have to meditate for hours or even one, it just means that you show up to something every day without fail. It can be for as little as five minutes – if you have longer by all means go for it but I am a bit believer in consistency above all things when it comes to our daily practice.
Your non-negotiable practice can be meditation, chanting, intuitive writing or walking in nature. It could be dancing, pottery, poetry or even drinking rose tea. You get to decide what works best for you. It can be anything that helps you go in and connect with the inner temple of your soul.
If you would like to try one of my favourite meditations, you can download my free Light Bathing meditation here.
Your soul is always available to guide you. The more you connect with it, the easier it becomes to hear its calls and let it lead your life.

Returning to the earth and each other
Hello from hotel quarantine in Sydney (Gadigal land),
I’m on day 6 of quarantine and feeling a lot of feelings. Mostly I am aching for my feet to be planted on the earth and for the sun to be on my skin. Last Tuesday we flew into a dimly lit Sydney airport and were escorted by police straight to the room where we would spend the next 14 days and nights. We haven’t felt the sun or touched the earth for over a week now. My family lives in Sydney so we will see them once we are out of here.
Quarantine countdown
My grandmother is 98 now and I am desperate to see her, to have her hands touch my son’s body for the first time. To brush her hair and have her hands touch my face. We have always had a close connection and openly spoken about our connection in spirit and the journey of the soul. And yet, it was her body that called me home to the land of my childhood.
My dad and much of my family haven’t held my son either or seen me as a mum – he is one of millions of lockdown babies. I’ve become more and more aware of the importance of witnessing our initiations and transitions and know that many of you, particularly new mums, have missed this during these times.
Using my oracle box as yoga blocks + travel altars everywhere
It took us a couple of days to get our bearings and figure out where we physically are in the city, and we had a really surprising realisation. The block that we are quarantining in happens to be the very same block that my husband and I worked in for two years in our first full-time jobs back in the early 2000s. We wouldn’t meet for another 15 years on the opposite side of the planet. I wonder how many times our paths may have crossed, and whether these weavings were part of our souls’ plans. Were we standing at the traffic lights together or in the same queue at the local café?
About a block away (although I can’t see it) is the park where I used to spend my lunchtimes, kicking my shoes off and placing my hands and body on the earth. I’d put my walkman on and meditate in secret, looking up at the trees above me. I sometimes think, perhaps there are parts of the land that call us to them. Places we are destined to be for periods of time. Soil we were always meant to be planted in. To become a part of.
Over the past few years, so much has been surfacing for me about our connection to the land, true belonging, ownership and what ‘citizenship’ actually means. How much harm has been caused from seeing the land as something separate from us, to own, take from and conquer. The severing that has occurred from each other and ourselves, through seeing ourselves as separate from the land. Through not seeing our bones and flesh as moving extensions of the soil and sea, not seeing our ancestors in the earth, the stars in the soil, the cosmos in the seed.
I first became aware of this very real ache for the earth within me when I was a teenager. The longing for the arms of the mother first came when I went to a new school in the city with no earth to sit on. It was then that I started my daily practice of walking barefoot and laying with the back of my heart on the earth. I didn’t know it at the time but these would become practices I would later teach and call ‘being walked by the land’, ‘intuitive nature walking’, ‘earth pulsing’ and ‘whispers from Mother Earth’.
For the past few years all I’ve been able to write about is returning to the earth. Being in quarantine, separated from nature, so close to my family and childhood home yet so far away, has turned that ache and that sacred rage for returning to the earth within me up even more. And now from this air-conditioned room on the 33rd floor in the sky, I feel it more deeply than ever.

On Questioning Everything
The biggest challenges are designed at first to separate you from your faith.
Let them.
Don’t judge yourself when you question it all.
When you doubt your beliefs, your devotion,
your God/dess, your entire existence.
It is in these times that we’re meant to question everything.
It doesn’t matter how long you stay away.
How much you ignore your faith.
How tightly you close your heart.
How long you dwell in your
s e p a r a t e n e s s.
Each challenge is an opportunity to deepen. But first we might retract.
Come up to the surface before diving once more to the depths.
Eventually you will return to the pearls.
Waiting for you even deeper than before.

RETURNING
We are Children of the Earth and the Sky.
Eternal souls having a human experience.
This life but a stitch in the tapestry of humanity.
Humanity but a turn in the spinning of the Earth.
Held on this planet by gravity, breath, and time.
Falling
falling
falling
for the exquisite, agonizing glory of
experiencing ourselves and each other.
Finding home where we find ourselves.
Not quite able to remember, or to forget,
our other homes in the sky.

How to Celebrate the Autumn Equinox
In this blog, I’ll be exploring what the Autumn Equinox is, its spiritual significance, how we may experience its energy at this time, and how to celebrate the Autumn Equinox. I’ll also be looking at how we can connect with ourselves, our communities, the divine and the nature in the world around us at this time, in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
As we all live in different climates, some ideas shared here will resonate more than others, depending on your location. Adapt these suggestions to your own environment and use them as a starting point for connecting more deeply to the energy of the natural world around you.
Autumn equinox at the Chalice Well
WHAT IS THE AUTUMN EQUINOX?Equinoxes occur twice a year; one in the Spring and one in the Autumn. You can check out my blog about the Spring Equinox here.
The word ‘Equinox’ is derived from Latin, meaning ‘equal night’. The equinoxes are solar festivals in the Wheel of the Year, and happen at the times of the year when day and night have become approximately equal length all over the world, with roughly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness.
The Wheel of the Year is celebrated by many spiritual seekers all over the world, including pagans, Wiccans, witches of all kinds, and also nature-lovers who do not follow a specific spiritual tradition. It celebrates the turning of the seasons, and those who follow its rhythms mark its seasonal festival days or ‘Sabbats’.
The Autumn/ Fall Equinox (also known as Mabon) and the Spring Equinox (also known as Ostara) are two of these days. The Autumn Equinox occurs between the 20-23 September in the Northern Hemisphere and the 20-23 March in the Southern Hemisphere. The Spring Equinox falls between the 20-23 March in the Northern Hemisphere and between the 20-23 September in the Southern Hemisphere.
For more information about and rituals to honour the Wheel of the Year, you can join my membership here.
WHAT DOES THE AUTUMN EQUINOX MEAN SPIRITUALLY?
The Autumn Equinox is the second of three harvest festivals. It comes six weeks after Lughnasadh and six weeks before Samhain. Harvest festivals are common to many different cultures around the world, and are traditionally held to celebrate the bounty of the earth at this time of the year and to give thanks for the generosity of nature.
These special celebration days are the perfect time to take stock of our own ‘harvest’. We may wish to consider the things that we have been working towards during the last six months since the Spring Equinox. What in our lives feels like it has come to fruition, what have we achieved, and what perhaps hasn’t worked out as we intended?
We can then choose to learn from the things that have not worked out, celebrate our achievements, and give thanks for the abundance in our lives and the things that are now bringing us contentment and making us feel fulfilled.
Another theme of the Autumn Equinox is balance. We become aware of the need for balance in our lives as we notice the balance between the light and the dark at this time of the year, and begin to prepare for the darker days of winter ahead.
This preparation could be practical; getting our home ready to be a cosy refuge during those darker winter months, and storing food and resources for the winter, or metaphorical; making sure we have spent enough time in the energies of summer, enjoying the lightness and warmth of this season.
Solar festivals involve a holding of opposites. At the Autumn Equinox we are celebrating the abundance of the harvest and the bounty it has given us, but we are also aware that the nature around us will soon start to decay, and that we are moving from the light of summer into darker nights and days.
THE FEAST OF AVALON
The Autumn Equinox is also known as ‘the Feast of Avalon’ or ‘the Festival of the Apple Harvest.’ Some believe Avalon was a physical place, others believe it to be a mystical place of healing, and others believe that it still exists in another realm today.
I was fascinated to learn about this alternative name for the Autumn Equinox as I live in Glastonbury in Somerset, England, and many believe that this town is one of the locations where Avalon existed, with other communities also existing in Cornwall, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Avalon was mentioned in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s History of the Kings of Britain (1100–1154), which, while it is a work of fiction, is believed to be based on Celtic folktales and Authurian legends, and the Celts are said to have seen Avalon as the “otherworld”.
Avalon was popularized more recently by Marion Zimmer Bradley’s 1983 book The Mists of Avalon, a retelling of the Arthurian legends from the perspective of the female characters who influenced him. The word Avalon means “the isle of apple trees”, and if you visit Glastonbury today, you will read a sign that says “Welcome to Glastonbury, Ancient Isle of Avalon”.
If you visit around the time of the Autumn Equinox, make sure to visit Glastonbury Abbey and take a walk around the beautiful apple orchards in its grounds. Their abundance gives us a perfect visual reminder of what we are celebrating at the Autumn Equinox.
WAYS TO CELEBRATE THE AUTUMN EQUINOX1. AUTUMN EQUINOX SOUL INQUIRY
Your soul is always calling, every moment of every day. One way to hear its whispers is to do a practice called Soul Inquiry. Soul Inquiry is a form of intuitive writing or voicing out loud that involves asking your soul a question and writing down the answer that comes. Below are my Soul Inquiry prompts for the Autumn Equinox:
Soul Inquiry:What feels balanced and harmonious in your life?What doesn’t feel balanced or harmonious?How are you being called to bring more balance and harmony into your life?What are you most grateful for that has bloomed over the summer?What have you created that you’re most proud of?How can you allow nature’s balance of light & dark filter into your month ahead?2. CREATE AN AUTUMN EQUINOX FEAST
The Autumn Equinox is a wonderful time to celebrate with food. Great picnics or feasts can be held where everyone brings a dish, using the best ingredients of the season. Baking is also a great activity for us to do now, helping us to slow down, almost like a mindfulness meditation.
If you enjoy alcohol, this is the perfect time of year to drink some of your favourite wine, as grapes are everywhere now.
3. CREATE YOUR AUTUMN EQUINOX ALTAR
The Autumn Equinox is a wonderful time to create an altar to honour the season. All you need is somewhere to create your altar and some meaningful symbolic items to place on it.
When I’m creating seasonal altars, I like to gather items from nature and build them into beautiful arrangements that celebrate the shifts that are happening in the natural world at this time.
When creating your Autumn Equinox altar, you may like to use harvest colours like orange, red, brown, rust and gold. Fallen leaves can be used to make beautiful decorations.
Or you could even create a Mabon food altar, gathering items such as apples, berries and nuts.
Work with the nature around you; take note of what is growing in abundance on the land where you live right now.
Here are some ideas for what you can use – but allow yourself to be led:
Fruit, vegetables, and other plants that are abundant at this time of year where you liveCandles, pictures or colours that reflect the energy of autumnStatues of gods or goddesses that are connected to the autumnItems that have personal significance for you and represent the themes of the Autumn EquinoxSymbols of the harvest seasonItems that represent the things in your life that you are grateful forFeeding Your Altar:
I like to keep my altar in place for about a week and believe in the power of tending to and feeding your altar.
You can do this by lighting the candles, freshening up the water in the flowers if you have flowers on it and spending a moment of prayer and reflection there each day.
When we create an altar, we are really creating an ‘altered’ space, so the more we feed the altar, the more powerful and alive this altered space becomes.
4. DO AN AUTUMN EQUINOX GRATITUDE RITUAL
Like Lughnasadh, the Autumn Equinox is a time to give thanks for the abundance of the earth, and so too for the abundance and good things in our lives, so doing a gratitude ritual is a wonderful way to celebrate the Autumn Equinox.
You can do a gratitude ritual alone or with others, and it can be as simple or as complex as you like. The main thing that you need to do is spend some time thinking about what you are grateful for, and write down everything that comes to mind.
If you like, you could put on some inspiring music while you write your list, or even create your own gratitude playlist. If you are doing the ritual as a group, you can take turns sharing, or if you are on your own, you may like to read your list out loud and then place it on your altar.
5. AUTUMN EQUINOX OFFERING
As the Autumn Equinox is a harvest festival, this is a great time of the year to make an offering to the spirits of the land where you live, to celebrate the living earth and its fertility and abundance at this time of year.
You can get as creative as you like with this and make your offering really beautiful. You could try creating a special Autumn Equinox Mandala using items from nature, or doing a simple ritual using items to honour each of the four elements – for example, lighting a candle, making an offering of water and earth, and using a wind chime.
6. AUTUMN EQUINOX PLANT YOUR PRAYERS RITUAL
This is the perfect time of year to sow spring-flowering bulbs, and you can make this into a simple but powerful nature ritual by imbuing them with your intentions for the six months ahead. This can be done by writing down your heart’s deepest prayers on a piece of paper and planting them along with your bulbs. Just make sure that you use biodegradable materials that will not harm the natural environment.
This simple ritual harnesses the power of prayer and the incredible power of nature to take your prayers out into the world. By grounding your prayers in the physical you are giving them life and energy so that they too can grow roots, bud, bloom and manifest in the here and now.

How to Celebrate the Spring Equinox
In this blog, I’ll be exploring what the Spring Equinox is, its spiritual significance, how we may experience its energy at this time, and how to celebrate the Spring Equinox.
I’ll also be looking at how we can connect with ourselves, our communities, the divine and the nature in the world around us at this time, in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

THE WHEEL OF THE YEAR
The Wheel of the Year is celebrated by many spiritual seekers all over the world, including pagans, Wiccans, witches of all kinds, and also nature-lovers who do not follow a specific spiritual tradition. It celebrates the turning of the seasons, and those who follow its rhythms mark its seasonal festival days or ‘Sabbats’. The Spring Equinox (also known as Ostara) and the Autumn/ Fall Equinox (also known as Mabon) are two of these days.

The Autumn / Fall Equinox occurs between the 20-23 September in the Northern Hemisphere and the 20-23 March in the Southern Hemisphere.
For more information about and rituals to honour the Wheel of the Year, you can join my membership here.
At the Spring Equinox, we are surrounded by new life. The earth is covered in a blanket of greenery and the rising of life force that began at Imbolc has now manifested as daffodils, primroses and perhaps even cherry blossoms. Spring is now truly here.
With this bubbling up of energy and blossoming of new life, we experience a renewal within ourselves too. We feel lighter than we did throughout the darker winter months and have a sense of excitement about what is to come. We can see fresh possibilities and sense the creative potential in new ideas.
This is the perfect time of year to set intentions for the six months ahead. What are you excited about? What do you want to draw more of into your life? What do you want to create and experience? This could be anything from improved health or more quality time with your loved ones to a creative project or the realisation of a long-held dream.
At this time of year it’s also important that we allow ourselves to experience the joy of the season, basking in the warmer days and the buzzing of potential all around us.
SACRED SITES
We know that the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes were of great importance to our ancestors because there are ancient monuments all over the world that were created with special alignments to mark sunrise and sunset on these days.
I have visited some of these sites on my travels in Ireland and England and when I visited the Great Sphinx in Giza, Egypt, I was fascinated to learn that it, too, was built to align with these solar events.

What is your soul calling you to do now with the Spring energy?How can you allow nature’s balance of light & dark filter into your month ahead?2. CREATE A SPRING EQUINOX ALTAR
The Spring Equinox is a wonderful time to create an altar to honour the season. All you need is somewhere to create your altar and some meaningful symbolic items to place on it.
When I’m creating seasonal altars, I like to gather items from nature and build them into beautiful arrangements that celebrate the shifts that are happening in the natural world at this time.
When creating your Spring Equinox altar, you may like to use spring colours like green, yellow, and white. Spring flowers and foliage can be used to make beautiful decorations. Work with the nature around you; take note of what is growing in abundance on the land where you live right now.
Here are some ideas for what you can use – but allow yourself to be led:
Items that have personal significance for you and represent what new buds are wanting to bloom within youFlowers or plants that are abundant at this time of year where you liveCandles, pictures or colours that reflect the energy of spring to youStatues of gods or goddesses that are connected to the springtime, such as the goddess Eostre3. INTENTION-SETTING RITUAL
As the Spring Equinox is the perfect time to tune into your wishes and intentions for the months ahead and what you want to create in your life, you may like to do an intention-setting ritual to celebrate the Spring Equinox at this time. You can do an intention-setting ritual alone or with others, and it can be as simple or as complex as you like.
Put on some inspiring music Spend some time thinking about what you are wanting to call in over the next six months, and write down everything that comes to mind.Circle the thing that feels the strongestWrite one baby step you can take in that direction in the coming daysIf you are doing the ritual as a group, you can take turns sharing your intentions and baby steps with each other, or if you are on your own, you may like to read your list out loud and then place it on your altar.Safely place a candle (a tea light or a candle in a protected candle holder) near your list and light the candle while setting your intentions.4. CREATE A SPRING EQUINOX MANDALA
With flowers bursting forth everywhere at this time of year, this is a great time to create a beautiful Spring Equinox flower mandala.
The creation of mandalas is a sacred ritual practiced by devotees of many different spiritual traditions. In my experience, this kind of devotional practice opens the portal for us to step into ‘the Beauty Way’.
This softening into beauty allows us to step into Kairos time, where all healing happens and the veil between the worlds is lifted, so that we can really step into the space of the soul.
As the Spring Equinox is all about new beginnings, you may wish to dedicate your mandala to what you wish to call in over the next six months.
In the Tibetan tradition, mandalas are created using grains of sand. Monks train from a very early age, dedicating hours, months, sometimes even years to creating the most exquisite, detailed creations, only to then gather all of the sand up in a jar and release it into nature.
Because it is eventually dismantled, the practice of making a mandala is a practice of impermanence, showing us that life is transient, not permanent, inconstant. This acknowledgment aligns perfectly with the shifting energies of the Equinoxes.
5. SPRING EQUINOX PLANT YOUR PRAYERS RITUAL
This is the perfect time of year to sow summer-flowering bulbs, and you can make this into a simple but powerful nature ritual by imbuing them with your intentions for the six months ahead. This simple ritual to celebrate the Spring Equinox harnesses the power of prayer and the incredible power of nature to take your prayers out into the world. By grounding your prayers in the physical you are giving them life and energy so that they too can grow roots, bud, bloom and manifest in the here and now.
Hold the bulbs or seeds you are planting at your heart and focus on your heart’s deepest prayer. Bring the bulbs or seeds up to your mouth and whisper your prayer into the flower bulb three times e.g. ‘I call in a job that only I can do that fulfills me deeply.’Bury the bulb and water it. Continue tending to your garden and acting on your prayer as it grows.

ASCEND TO THE EARTH
The answers for us right now are not elsewhere in the stars.
They’re not in the heavens either.
They’re right here, on Earth, in the seed in the soil.
Everything we seek is waiting for us here.
On Earth as it is in heaven.
Don’t you remember that you are the seed?
Don’t you remember why you chose to come?
Find the holy seeded within every tree, every stone,
every animal, every human, every heart, every cell.
Precious, precious child of star and Earth.
Soul experiencing itself for a breath.
Star seeded for just a moment in matter.
You went through a lot to be here at this time.
Won’t you be here now?
Be like the flower.
Seed and bloom without caring what others think.
And when it’s time, and you will know when,
Throw your petals to the wind
For the chance to do it over and over again.
Remember why you have come.
Ascend to the Earth.

I am rebirthed
Written today, on the eve of my 40th birthday after the most touching endings and beginnings/threshold rebirthing myself birthday ritual gifted to me by @eliza.feelings with the most precious women who knew me before they met me @hollieholdenlove @binnieadansbyofficial @nikkisladeuk @silaread @madeline_giles Kay Dayton. A closing of a time of many endings. Etched in my heart for forever.
I am Re-Birthed
On the eve of another year, I am rebirthed.
At the edge of a threshold, I am rebirthed.
As I treat what is ending with respect, I am rebirthed.
When I speak that which scares me, I am rebirthed.
When I am willing to lose myself, I am rebirthed.
When I give myself wholly to the in between, I am rebirthed.
When I release those who do not love me, I am rebirthed.
When I stop trying to convince those who do not see me accurately, I am rebirthed.
As I rest into the support around me, I am rebirthed.
If I keep my heart open through the agony, I am rebirthed.
If I keep my heart open through the ecstasy, I am rebirthed.
As my body crowns my babe, I am rebirthed.
In the parting of veils, I am rebirthed.
As I hurtle myself from the watery world of the mother into the fertile void of the in between, I am rebirthed.
When I gather the courage to descend, I am rebirthed.
When I trust in the sureness of the winter soil, I am rebirthed.
As I learn to see in the dark, I am rebirthed.
As I trust the future rose gardens coded within the seed, I am rebirthed.
As I learn to see and grow in the dark, I am rebirthed.
As I find the courage to reach for the light, I am rebirthed.
As I burst through the known containment of the bud, I am rebirthed.
As I find the courage to open and share my unique beauty with the world, I am rebirthed.
While I let go of the very thing that captivated others to me, I am rebirthed.
As I throw my petals to the wind for the chance to do it again, I am rebirthed.
Again and again, I am rebirthed.
I sacrifice who I thought I was in order to truly be me.
I release my hopes and my dreams, in order to be free.
I let go of inherited burdens, so I can be properly seen.
I surrender to the death of who I thought I was in order to give birth to me.

We all have a role to play but only we know what our role is
We all have a role to play, but only we know what our role is. Paths unfold only when we walk them. Don’t let someone who is not you tell you what you should do. They’re not you and you’re not them. They don’t know and will never know what’s for you, just as you don’t know and will never know what’s for them. If they’re spending their precious moments on Earth worrying about what you should be doing with yours, they’re wasting theirs. Don’t let them waste yours.
Your life and your time are precious jewels. If someone thinks that it’s their job to point out the way your path should be spiralling, they’re likely ignoring the jewels of their own life. Don’t let their distractedness distract you from yours. Keep your gaze set. Politely invite them to do the same.
As you walk your spiral you’ll find yourself turning toward others and others turning toward you. What a wonderful thing, to share your journey. And while your path may naturally influence another’s, keep walking your way when the inevitable call to turn comes. And it always comes. Endings are necessary for beginnings to happen.
As you walk your spiral you’ll find that others’ spirals may overlap and activate you along your way. Let them. But don’t let seeing someone else’s potential unfolding convince you to boycott your own. This won’t help you or them. Keep walking on.
Don’t let someone who is walking a different path to your own tell you how to walk yours.
Nobody but you can or will ever know what it takes, has taken, and will take to walk your way. Wave them on, and without waver, keep trusting the seeds that have always been planted deep within.
Soul Inquiry:
What are you being called to turn toward?
What are you being called to turn away from?
