The Timeless Magic Of Nature Spirits And Elementals
As a youngster growing up in the UK, I loved visiting a neighbor, Mrs. O’Leary, whose lilting Irish voice still echoes in my mind. She spoke often of the “Good People” and acknowledged their presence in her home and garden. I recall her taking us outside to witness her making small offerings to these unseen little mystical beings.
Though it feels like a distant memory now, I can still recall seeing them, too. Perhaps they appeared to us because we truly believed, or perhaps because Mrs. O’Leary invited them to show themselves.
Whatever the reason, those moments left a lasting impression. To me, it felt like truly being “in my element,” fully connected to the hidden, magical forces of nature.
I vaguely recall a magical moment in Mrs. O’Leary’s garden when she pointed out to me a tiny, translucent little figure perched on a large moss-covered rock at the base of her prized old hawthorn tree. With delight, she described how this “little person” was waving at us and encouraged me to wave back. Standing there with awe and intrigue, I became aware of what seemed like hundreds of luminous sprites dancing in the glistening water below.
Despite all the cynicism of a technologically driven world, increasingly devoid of the many miracles and wonders of nature and the unseen realms, Mrs. O’Leary and the spirits of nature still remind me of the healing, transformative power that lies in reverence, stillness, and everyday magic.
Power And Protection From Your Ancestors
I come from a long line of female herbalists of European origins on my mother’s side of the family. They were seers, healers, and prophets who combined their psychic gifts with ancient healing practices. Today, they still come to me during meditation, to offer wisdom.
The family’s mainly Germanic connection is one I’ve researched for many years, but more recently I discovered that my ancestors crossed into Scandinavian and Norse territories too, which suggests a bloodline of fierce women who were warriors of their time.
It’s really not surprising to me, as even my own mother today, who is 84 years old, can still kick anyone’s butt who crosses her path in an unkind way! I always knew she was strong when I was little, and I always admired her power and independence.
I was born in the year 1966, which in Chinese Astrology equates to the year of the Fire Horse. Fire Horse people are only born once every six decades. It is a rare sign and, according to legend, many girl babies born in certain parts of Asia in that year were killed at birth, because they were believed to be dangerous, uncontrollable or resistant to rules or dogma.
My Fire Horse nature shows up in me from time to time, but only when I’m really pushed beyond reason by someone who is taking advantage of, or harming me, or my children.
Life will sometimes push us to step into our core strength and fight for what is right. There are many people on the spiritual path who feel stepping into your true power or fighting for what is right is ‘unspiritual’ or egotistic.
Astrology Forecast September 8 – 14, 2025
Today is all about grounding and fresh starts. The Virgo Sun overhead inspires a return to rhythm, routines, and clarity. It’s a perfect day to reorganize on both the daily and emotional level. It is the ideal time for initiating something meaningful yet grounded, especially if you have been ready to get back into organized work or creative routines.
We start the day with the Pisces Moon meeting Saturn in Pisces in a conjunction, inviting quiet introspection. You may feel drawn to sort through lingering emotional baggage or unfinished inner work. Trust this impulse; it helps you reset and prepare for the week ahead.
Later the Moon slips into Aries, shifting your energy from reflection into action. With the Moon in Aries conjunct Neptune in Aries, creative impulses rise. You might feel inspired to let ideas flow without judgment. This is a great moment for sketching, journaling, or brainstorming anything that allows your imagination to run free.
This afternoon* the pace picks up. The Moon in Aries forms a sextile to Uranus in Gemini, bringing unexpected sparks of inspiration. New ideas or inventive solutions could appear like lightning. It is the sort of energy that tells you yes, try that new thing. Maybe reach out to someone in a fresh way or explore a different tool or medium.
Shortly after, the Moon in Aries also sextiles Pluto in Aquarius. That gives drive a deeper edge. You could tap into powerful motivation to transform aspects of your life that felt stuck.
The Mysteries, Messages And Magic Of Meteorites
Meteorites have long intrigued me as one of the great mysteries of the universe. They’ve fascinated me for years, not only because they survive their fiery descent through Earth’s atmosphere in such an epic and awe-inspiring way, but also because of their extraordinary origins.
Recently, I acquired a small piece of meteorite from Campo del Cielo, a renowned celestial fragment discovered by Spanish explorers in Argentina in 1576. It now graces my altar with it cosmic presence, enhancing the energy of my home and sparking some fun conversations!
Their origins are diverse. Some come from asteroids or comets, others from planetary bodies.
However, what I find especially captivating about these “messengers from space” is that they offer more than just scientific insights into the birth of our solar system.
Even more compelling is the spiritual and esoteric significance they’ve held throughout human history. Across time and tradition, they continue to be revered as powerful allies in spirituality and metaphysics.
Many lithotherapy practitioners believe meteorites are gifts from the divine, reminding us of our eternal connection to the cosmos. They are symbols of spiritual awakening, transformation, and divine wisdom.
Ancient civilizations used them for meditation and healing, to connect with higher realms, and to catalyze personal growth. Because they are quite literally “otherworldly,” meteorites offer us a cosmic perspective and invite us to reflect on our place within the grand tapestry of existence.
Spiritual Strategies For A Loving Relationship
Over the years I have worked with many clients who either want to improve an existing relationship or manifest a new relationship.
In my readings, I have seen that most of us carry patterns, energy blocks, or emotional knots that quietly affect our love lives. Many people describe the same inner cycle: a longing for deeper connection followed by fear, self-doubt, and frustration.
Depending on the needs to the particular individual or couple, I often recommend a few simple yet powerful practices that can shift the romantic energy field and open the heart.
These practices are gentle and effective, working not just on the emotional level but on the spiritual and energetic levels as well. They help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and realign with love.
We tend to overthink our love lives. We analyze our relationships from every angle, hoping to find the answers in logic.
But love is not a puzzle to be solved. It is a frequency to be attuned to. And when we work with spiritual tools, we allow ourselves to rise above the clutter of thought and enter a state of clarity and openness.
I have found that the following practices, when done consistently, create a soft and supportive foundation for emotional healing and soulful connection. They do not require dramatic effort or complex rituals. They are simple shifts in intention and awareness that can lead to powerful outcomes.
