A Blood Moon Message
This is a voice version of my latest offering over on my Substack.

Just as something settles in me or lands to be written, another terrible event cycles through the news and unhooks me, casting me downstream again.
It is fast-moving right now.
More than we can digest.
Relentless unravellings and revelations.
Our bodies are not designed to process a 24 hour news feed of the worst of humanity.
Technology has developed faster than our biology and we are paying the price.
Withdrawing and curating the input seems like the only way for many of us to stay engaged and look after ourselves.
So many personal and collective trigger points are being sparked for women right now. Layers of anger, grief and relief. As my own felt memories of abuse, mysogyny, harrassment, shame and being gaslit rise in me it is scorching me to the core.
A dear soul sister passed suddenly this week too. Such a deep shock.
She is clearly needed elsewhere for this next phase of the fall of the old and the rise of the ancient new.
The grief is hot.
I know these times are unfathomable, my love.
The waves just keep on coming.
Those of you who feel so deeply will be reeling.
It is not selfish to retreat when needed. Inner signals heeded.
Your gossamer system requires heavier shelter than most, more stable stillness and peace.
Protect that peace where you can.
Your gift for insight, compassion, empathy, creativity and expanded vision will be so valuable and valued on the other side of this shift of ages.
As darkness is revealed the light can start to pour in.
It is the way.
Rage if it rises, rest if you need it, respond where you feel called, but know your devotion to truth, to awareness, to love, is enough.
You are enough.
It may not be your role right now to rush in. You might not be designed for front line activism or called to change the ‘system’.
Your activism may be in making, baking, loving, centering, rooting, channeling, grounding, deepening into nature, finding moments of joy, prayer, writing, remembering the lost ways, meditating, making magic, singing or listening to your intuitive nudges and acting on them.
This Moon releases the valve, the pent-up pressure, feelings that need to flow, be felt and set free.
This is not a moment for perfection.
It is a moment of expression.
Your energy literally matters.
Mattering.
Mothering.
Making real.
Midwifing.
Unhook from the drama when you need to. It doesn’t mean you don’t care.
Don’t be shamed by the memes or shaken by the extremes.
Hold true to your own centre, your own truth and your own values.
That will be your guiding light that becomes a lighthouse for others.
Just by being you.
MY OFFERINGS TO YOU…🌕 Around the full moon I share something openly…a short personal essay, a mystical message, a glimpse of unfolding art, whatever feels alive and present. These are free and available to all.
🌘 Around the new moon, in the sacred dark, I make a deeper offering to my intimates, my paid inner circle. That is where I share instalments of The Diary of an Awakening Woman — my serialised mystical memoir. I share full channeled messages and group tarot readings when they move through me, responding to the energies of the moment and of the circle. I share behind the scenes glimpses of my art practice, previews of new work, and the uncensored process of a woman returning to herself through paint and prayer.
💫 If I feel called to share something additional to this rhythm I will. Sometimes the muse and the Great Mother will not wait.
