“Believe in yourself. You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you imagine.”
― Roy T. Bennett

Hello, Lovelies!

This Quarter I am using the The Sacred Forest Oracle by Denise Linn, illustrated by Scott Breidenthal, for my weekly oracle readings. 

Our card to guide us for the week ahead is 45.Unicorn – PURITY

2025 is a year for pattern breaking, deep healing, mysticism and new directions.

November is a month for Transforming Your Home and Community. It’s a great month for renovations and those touches that make a house feel like a home, for spending time with the people and community groups that you love, and for embracing action and activism, especially if that’s moving you closer to your dream life. Practice gratitude and giving back. Be open to offers of help too!

🌟 Monday Oracle: Believe in Your Own Magic

This week, the Universe whispers one clear message: back yourself.

Your ideas, your dreams, your essence — they’re not random. They’re part of the magic you were born to share with the world. Don’t let anyone convince you to shrink, play safe, or soften who you are.

It’s time to stand tall in your uniqueness. To trust your creative spark, even if it feels wild or impossible. Every great thing that’s ever been created began with someone brave enough to believe in their own dream.

🌿 Protect Your Energy

This week also reminds us to guard our energy wisely. Be mindful of the people and environments that drain you, and nurture the ones that fill you with joy, inspiration, and peace.

You don’t need to explain yourself, justify your boundaries, or give away your light to make others comfortable.
Your wellbeing matters — physically, emotionally, spiritually.

✨ Eat well.
✨ Rest deeply.
✨ Say no when you need to.
✨ Keep your energy sacred.

💫 Expect the Unexpected

There’s magic in the air this week — real, tangible magic. Synchronicities, good news, and opportunities may appear just when you least expect them.

Keep your heart open, your intuition tuned, and your courage strong. The Universe is conspiring in your favour, especially when you move in alignment with your truth.

🌸 Reflection Prompt

Where in my life am I dimming my light or doubting my own magic — and how can I shine brighter this week?

🌙 Ritual: The Candle of Confidence

1. Light a candle.

2. Sit quietly, hands over your heart, and whisper:
   “I trust in my gifts. I believe in my dreams. I am ready to shine.”

3. Imagine a golden light expanding from your chest, growing brighter with each breath.

4. Carry that warmth with you into your day — a quiet reminder of your power and purpose.

💛 Closing Thought

This week, be your own cheerleader, your own protector, your own source of light.
Believe in your magic — and the Universe will meet you halfway. ✨

🌟 Top Tip of the Week:

Back yourself — the world needs your magic.
Don’t water yourself down to fit in or dim your light to make others comfortable.
Trust your instincts. Protect your peace.
Your ideas, your voice, your essence — they were given to you for a reason.
Believe in yourself, even when no one else does yet.

Crystals to support you this week – Amethyst, Citrine, Tiger Eye, Red Jasper, Smoky Quartz, Carnelian

Well, the less said about last week the better.

Hang on, I said that the week before too! So, here’s the update. Chemo ended very badly for me. I hit peak toxicity, stuff started breaking (in me – it wasn’t pretty) and my doctors had to pull me off treatment early before we did permanent damage.

Ugh – it was awful, and the last month has been a bit of a blur, to be honest. But I do have some good news…

After my literary speed dating event, I was asked to submit my novel for further consideration (Keep your fingers crossed for me!) AND I have managed to get the first new words down for a story that has suddenly bubbled to the surface, waiting to be given love and consideration by me.

Even better than that?
