I have been blessed with seeing many single Magpies, in many contexts and this is a positive sign , as the poor single Magpie is not a symbol to be feared, but a spiritual blessing that symbolises a step into your true authentic self, as you embrace your inner light with your shadow self. The Magpie makes for a memorable and meaningful spirit animal guide. Those drawn to the Magpie likely possess an appreciation for the eccentric, a tendency towards curiosity and collection o

Sometimes we make plans, and sometimes spirit gently invites us to pause, listen and choose a path that feels even more aligned. Over the past few weeks, I have been reflecting on the timing of Halo of the Moon's very first Shamanic Drum Journey Circle and my heart kept returning to the Harvest Full Moon on Saturday 26th September. The Harvest Full Moon is the full moon closest to the Autumn Equinox, a sacred time of gratitude, abundance and manifestation. It is a time to h

There is something beautifully gentle about the Strawberry Full Moon. Despite its name, it is not named for the colour of the Moon, but for the season of ripening. Traditionally, this Full Moon marked the time when wild strawberries were ready to be gathered, reminding us that nature moves in perfect timing. Nothing is rushed, and nothing blooms before it is ready. As we bathe in her moonlight, that is most powerful the day before, the day of and the day after, I find myself

In Shamanism hot weather is not viewed merely as a physical discomfort, but as an energetic portal. Shamans believe the weather is alive and creative, reflecting the Earth's current state of balance and extreme temperatures are seen as a call to acknowledge the elements, slow down, and seek spiritual realignment. Shamanic traditions interpret and respond to intense, oppressive heat in a few specific ways: Energetic Mirroring: The external heat often reflects internal states,

Seeing human shadows walking in a house is often viewed as a manifestation of displaced energy, a message from the spirit realm, or a reflection of own unintegrated subconscious mind (the "Shadow self"). Rather than being malevolent, these sightings are generally interpreted as calls for attention, energetic clearing, or deep inner work. Shamanic traditions approach these sightings through a few distinct lenses, depending on the nature and behaviour of the shadows: 1. Your Pe

Mirrored Angel Numbers like 11:11 represent a profound cosmic mirror ("as within, so without") a portal of synchronization, a calling to remember interconnectedness within the web of life. 11:11 is the Portal of Duality and Unity, where the number 1 represents raw life force, self, and creation. When mirrored 11:11, the two "ones" on either side represent the visible and invisible worlds, signifying the bridge between the physical and spiritual. A reminder that you are a spi

As I sit in gratitude, I am reminded of the true threshold that today holds, its significance and meaning. Two years ago, today my life changed in such a brutal way, my Cat Wilson who was my shadow died in a car accident and his loss destroyed me and closed many doors. It also opened up this door to walking the Shamanic Path, as a way to heal and to connect with him. Today I still miss him greatly, yet I know he walks this path beside me. Two years ago, on this very day, Wils

🌕🐺✨ Halo of the Moon Before it had a name, it was a whisper— soft as moonlight, persistent as a tide. It lived quietly within me, a silver thread tugging at my spirit, calling me home to a path not yet walked, but somehow always known. I carried it through endings, through seasons of surrender, through doors closing and new ones opening before I had time to knock.
