Gemini is the sign of the mind. It governs how we think and communicate with ourselves and others. But Gemini is represented by the twins, representing the duality within us all, reminding us of the paradox of life.

Opposite the moon lies the Sun in Sagittarius, and while these signs sit opposite each other on the...

How Healing The Witch Wound Will Heal You + The Feminine

For me, the witch wound has always presented itself in my inability to vocalize my truth. Whether talking one-on-one with a friend I’ve known for years or giving a presentation on a grand stage to hundreds of people I’ve never met, I struggle. My throat starts to close, my voice shakes, I tremble and gasp for air, and eventually sound like I’m crying. It has been this way since I can remember, and no matter how many times I tried to push through the fear and force myself into public speaking, it...

The Spiritual Meaning Of The September Full Harvest Moon

The September full moon 2023 is also known as the harvest moon, but where does it get its name from, and what is the spiritual meaning and unique frequency of this moon?

In ancient times, people lived in moons rather than man-made months. The moon was a visible way of tracking time. Her 29-day cycle and four main phases (a mirror of our menstrual cycle) became integral to plans and actions.

Each full moon took place at a different time of the year, so the landscape looked different for each moon...

Reconnect With The Crone Archetype: Intuitive, Wise & Powerful

The Crone is one of the most ostracized feminine archetypes, but reconnecting to her is where we find the depths of our truth, wisdom, power, and courage.

There is a reason why we have been discouraged and disconnected from the wise woman (more on that later), and we still live in a time where she is feared. But this is primarily because her frequency is wildly misunderstood.

It doesn’t matter what age you are; the Crone lives within you, as do all the feminine archetypes. And there are many tim...

This is the lesson of Virgo. To accept who and where we are today and show ourselves unwavering love and compassion while building the strength and resilience to...

What Is Mabon + Celebrate The Autumn Equinox With Ritual

Autumn Equinox, also known as Mabon, is fast approaching and simmering in the air. Can you feel it? Despite a mini heat-wave here in the UK, the Wheel is undoubtedly turning, my energy is slowly drawing inward, and I’m ready to welcome a new season.

Maybe you’re eating fewer salads and craving earthier meals or packing away your summer dresses and pulling out the cardis and jumpers. Perhaps it’s something more subtle, like reaching for more warming, spicy scented candles or being drawn to more a...
