~ MAWU LISA ~ Balance

Centre your energy. Seek harmony and co-operation. ⚖️

~ Mawu-Lisa is a supreme being with origins in the ancient West African kingdom of Dahomey and is neither male nor female. Dahomean legend says that in the beginning of everything there was Mawu-Lisa, who had two faces.

Mawu, a woman, is the female side of god and her eyes are the moon; Lisa is the male side of god and his eyes are the sun. This androgynous deity reminds us that balance is a central principle of the universe.

~ ⚖️ -

CARD MEANING

Take a deep breath and come back to centre. You may be feeling scattered, pulled in every direction. Visualise your energies being gathered back to you.

You need peace and personal balance. Stabilising your energy is a priority, to avoid becoming overwhelmed or burned out.

Mawu-Lisa represents equilibrium, moderation and peacekeeping. They deliver a message to remain calm and composed, even in extreme situations. It’s not healthy for your nervous system to be perpetually in firefighter mode, nor is it sustainable.

Don’t add fuel to the fire. Consider everyone’s point of view and make a balanced and fair assessment. Co-operation and harmony are key principles of this card, so be inclusive and work together.

It could be that unchecked egos, dramas and gossip are at play. If you’re being distracted or pulled off-centre by energy-sapping or toxic situations (both in the real world and online), make a conscious effort to create distance.

Don’t allow yourself to be energetically or emotionally drained - protect your inner balance, as it’s from this calm, harmonious state that you’ll be strongest and wisest.

Additional meanings:

• Balance your masculine (sun) and feminine (moon) energies

• The key to your well-being now is moderation - apply this to your diet, exercise, finances and habits

• This could be a positive message about identifying as non-binary or other gender identity and receiving support for your journey

~ Invocation ~

⚖️ All aspects of my being are balanced. I find strength in my centre.

~ AMATERASU ~ No more hiding

Come out of the cave. Shine brilliantly. ✨

~ Amaterasu is a supreme Japanese Shinto sun goddess and daughter of the creator god Izanagi.

Her name means ‘Great Shining Heaven’. Japanese emperors are said to be descended from Amaterasu, and she’s the highest deity in Japan.

Shinto legend relates how Amaterasu retreated into a cave when her brother, Susanoo, began neglecting his divine role and creating mayhem.

So important was Amaterasu’s light that her disappearance plunged heaven and earth into disastrous darkness.

Desperate for her to emerge, the deities created rituals to entice her out, including a mirror placed at the mouth of the cave.

Amaterasu saw her shining light in the reflection and never hid herself away again.

~ ✨ ~

CARD MEANING

You’re an introspective soul with a deep and multi-layered inner life. You need time to process and reflect on life’s events. Private space is vital for your well-being.

It can feel safe and familiar to keep yourself closeted away, but Amaterasu is asking you to share more of your beautiful light and wisdom.

You have a special energy that needs to be seen, so don’t hide it.

What do you fear might happen if you reveal your true spirit? Does it feel as if your energy may be somehow damaged or destroyed if it’s brought out into the open? Or perhaps you’ll be hurt, judged or misunderstood?

Even if this has happened before, Amaterasu wants to restore your trust. She understands your fears about coming out of the dark cave and offers you her hand.

‘Come out, shining one,’ she says.

‘Remove your cloak so we can receive your inner light. You can be an important guide for others.

‘It’s safe and trustworthy out here, and you’ll be met with love, respect and gratitude for sharing what’s inside your heart.’

~ Invocation ~

✨ I reveal what’s in my heart, and it’s received with love.

A (not perfect) introduction ☺️ Since I began

A (not perfect) introduction ☺️

Since I began sharing my new oracle cards, I noticed some new followers and thought you might like to learn a bit about who I am 🌸

Firstly, I’ve been writing on social media for what feels like forever but I still don’t consider myself an expert at navigating it - is anyone?!

I think we all have a nuanced relationship with these platforms, yet what I do love about them is the chance to share words that can help to heal, inspire or support others. And I often receive the same. 🌸

Every single time I share the words - “I’m a professional intuitive” - I almost can’t believe I’m doing it. 😵

Was this part of my life plan aged 18? No! I’m 50 this year and frankly speaking, it’s taken me decades of hard graft on the inner and the outer to feel safe expressing my true voice.

But yes - I’m a professional intuitive 🌟 but I was raised without any connection to the Divine.

I had no idea what was happening when the Goddess entered my life and changed it forever. All I knew was that I felt like a failure by my mid-20s, exhausted from suppressing my feelings and living in my intellect.

From the sudden loss of my mother as a young child, dropping out of an academic career, losing my way and then finding it again through becoming a mother…

…to instigating the breakdown of my marriage and sometimes crushed by the weight of lone parenthood…

…I was catapulted into emotional healing and the incredibly slow process of recovering my intuitive abilities.

I felt an overwhelming yearning to be steeped in the energies of the sacred feminine. This often led me into places within myself that didn’t feel easy to hang out in.

My ‘mother wound’ was fairly cavernous and needed oceans of healing and tending to.

Simultaneously, I was being guided by the universe to hold spaces for others to heal and be re-initiated into their spiritual feminine consciousness.

This sounds quite grand and lofty, but in reality it took the form of regular (small) healing circles, one-to-ones and writing a daily blog post on Facebook.

To be continued (run out of word count) and I’m also a work-in-progress recovering perfectionist so this is healing for me! 🌸

Pause, take a breath and allow the energy from this noble god to connect with you…⚡️

~ THOTH ~ Divine Masculine

Be a conduit for awakened masculine energy. Heal the father wound.

~ Thoth was a High Priest in Atlantis before becoming Tehuti, Ancient Egyptian god of magic, wisdom, writing and knowledge. Thoth holds the divine masculine essence, where being active, purposeful, strategic and logical synergizes with a healing sacred purpose. Thoth is stewarding a conscious, heart-opening, soul-aligned masculine awakening.

~ ⚡️~

CARD MEANING

Your purpose is to activate the divine masculine on Earth. This mission will take you into numerous life lessons and personal trials as you heal your own heart and awaken to your spiritual wisdom. You have the capacity to lead by example and become a noble teacher for others.

When Thoth appears, it’s a powerful message of healing through personal responsibility and stepping up to sacred duty.

You’re healing wounded masculine energy, which shows up frequently in men, but can be present in women or other gender identities. Examples of wounded masculine energy are fear of being vulnerable, living only in your head, inability to be present, numbing yourself with addictions, being ego-driven, controlling or dominating others and emotional unavailability.

A soul teacher is now coming into your life embodying ⚡️divine masculine qualities: clear communication, self-enquiry and understanding, connection to emotions, reverence for the awakened feminine, responsibility for actions and connection to Spirit.

Drawing this card can point to healing the relationship with your father. This will help you claim your soul’s purpose.

You’re trusted and appreciated. Your awakened masculine light is needed by the world.

Additional meanings:
• This is a message of love from your father
• You can trust the man about whom you’re enquiring
• Join or lead a men’s or male-identifying spiritual growth group

~ Invocation ~

⚡️ My life is guided by the eternal masculine. I commit to this path.

Are you ready? So happy to share this first card from my new oracle deck!💕

Pause, take a breath and allow the energy from this glorious goddess to wash over you…💕 Do you need to trust in love again?

~ APHRODITE ~ Eternal Love

Romance is flowing. Celebrate your beauty.

~ Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty and sensuality. She was a divine queen in Lemuria, and reigned over all matters of love, romance and relationships. Her temple contained a huge rose quartz crystal.

Aphrodite asks us to treat romantic love with respect, for it’s a sacred practice.

Our partners are divine teachers, bringing opportunities to learn everything about our own hearts.

~ 💕~

CARD MEANING

Aphrodite rises from the sea to bring pure feminine blessings and lessons, her radiance showering upon you like a rose-crystal waterfall.

She takes you into her temple, attuning your energy to her rose quartz crystal. Laying pink roses at your feet, her priestesses anoint your body with rose oil. Aphrodite says:

‘Beloved, see yourself as I see you: as an everlasting expression of the divine. Heal those old wounds of “not beautiful” or “not loveable” ~ look into my mirror and see your true essence.

‘Your relationships echo your relationship with yourself and the goddess. As you practise loving yourself, so you’ll see this rebirth of self-love reflected back to you by your partner, friends, family and the entire world.

‘Renew your trust, as love never truly leaves. Your heart has a different healing pattern from your mind, so if you’re in a process of heartbreak, listen to what your heart is saying.

‘Create a fresh template of love, with a vibration that honours you. My spirit is breathing excitement and passion into your heart.

‘A new cycle of love awaits.’

~ Invocation ~

💕 I cherish myself and create beautiful relationships.
