Can you believe that we are here already. I feel like we only just had last Christmas (singing “Last Christmas” in my head) a month ago.

I really hope that this year has been good for you and if it hasn’t (I know a lot of us struggled this year), then I hope you had the love and support you needed to get through it, even if it was just yourself giving you that love and support (hey we have to be our biggest supporter 😊).

I want to send out best wishes, healing vibes and rose gold love energy to everyone who has supported me this year. I truly appreciate every one of you. May your tummies be full, may your eyes be filled with wonder and may your hearts be brimming with love and light. You don’t have to a child to believe in the magic of Christmas, and yes there is magic in the air. I can feel it like I haven’t felt it since Mum passed. Let go of all the flotsam and jetsam that has been crowding your life for way too long. You don’t need it anymore and your way will be easier without it.

I hope you will continue to support Story & Stone in 2026. Yes, I am now taking appointments from the 2nd January (look out for a post coming up about it). I love that you guys have been on this journey with me so far. Let’s see where it can go next year.

Blessings to you all. Amanda 🎄❤️

Today is Summer Solstice, which is also known as Litha. It is the longest day and the shortest night and it is a celebration of the abundance that is sprouting forth from the seeds that were planted in Spring (physically and metaphorically). It is a great time to rise early and watch the sunrise or go for walks in nature and be amazed at all the new life.

I hope that your Litha is blessed with the promise of love and abundance. Have a great day! 🌻

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. We have a New Moon today, in Sagittarius, which is one of the happiest signs in the zodiac. I have two Sagittarians in my family and they are both such happy-go-lucky kids and so much fun to hang out with.

Below I’ve given you some ideas on what to wish for in your New Moon Ritual which are in alignment with Sagittarius. However, you can wish for whatever you want. Remember, one of the most important parts of New Moon wishing is the emotion you feel for each wish. How you feel about the wish is the fuel that makes the wish come to life. On top of the action you take, this can really boost your manifesting abilities.

I have decided that I will not be doing the monthly and weekly readings next year, however subscribers to my newsletter will get monthly readings within the newsletter, so if you want to sign up for my newsletter so you continue to have access to those readings you can do so by going to my homepage on my website (www.storyandstone.com.au). At the moment if you sign up for the newsletter, you will receive a 10% discount voucher for the first appointment you book with me (terms and conditions apply). Subscribers will also receive freebies, first access to workshops, etc, plus, of course, the one or two jam-packed newsletters I will be sending a month. December’s newsletter went out yesterday. If you sign up before the 31st of December I will ensure that gets sent out to you, along with the welcome email containing the discount.

Have a great weekend. Amanda 🎄

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all keeping well on this fine sunny day. Tomorrow we have a Last Quarter Moon in Virgo and it got me thinking about the importance of the quarter moons.

We always place so much importance on the New and Full Moons that sometimes the Quarter Moons get left in the background. However, what I have found is that by utilising them in my manifesting tool box, I get that extra manifesting power boost in-between the main moon phases. Check out my video on how to do just that. It's really simple and will really give you the boost you need if you find it hard to manifest your wishes and intentions.

Have an absolutely fantastic day! 🌻

Hello Everyone,

I'm sorry I have been MIA. We have had internet troubles and hot spotting off a phone with barely any service has been very frustrating, so I just haven't bothered with social media very much this week.

Today is the Full Moon in Gemini and I have written a blog post all about the energy at this time, giving you some food for thought about where you want to go moving forward. The link to this post is below.

I also just wanted to tell you that there will be no more weekly readings for this year. Life stuff has caught up with me and I really need to concentrate on that. I don't know if I will be doing the monthly or weekly readings next year. They take a lot of time and energy that I really need to put into other things. I will be giving a reading for my subscribers in the monthly newsletter so if you want to continue to receive a reading from me please subscribe to my newsletter on my website homepage.

I know that I also said I would be relaunching my business in November and we are now in December. Unfortunately Mercury Retrograde really threw a spanner in the works. I've had many technical difficulties that I am still trying to sort out. I am hoping to be able to take appointments soon.

Anyway have a great Friday. My sweet Sagittarian nephew turns 11 today so I'm going to celebrate with family. These children are growing up way too fast. 🥰

Hello Everyone,

Can you believe that we are already n the last week of November. Man this month has just flown! Please find the link below to the last reading for November.

It’s going to be another week of digging deep and really thinking about where we want to go in 2026. Then putting lots of emotion behind those dreams and wishes so that they can manifest in the coming year.

Have a great week! 🌻

Happy New Moon in Scorpio Everyone!

Hello on this very hot and windy Monday (that’s the weather, not my state of health 🤣). I hope you all have had a great weekend. We are already through the middle of November and I not gonna lie - it’s starting to feel overwhelming with all the things I have to do over the next few weeks before Christmas. 🫤

But the one thing I am caught up on is my sleep. I have recovered from having my nieces and nephews stay and am back on track with my recording. Here is this week’s reading. I really hope you enjoy it. This week is about delving deeper within to really get to know ourselves (something we all need at this time).

I am in relaunch mode and am busy updating my website and getting things prepared for relaunch day which I think will be this Thursday the 20th - New Moon. It couldn’t be more fitting.

If you want to keep up to date with what’s coming up for Story & Stone, please sign up to my newsletter - the sign up can be found on my homepage (www.storyandstone.com.au). For signing up, you will receive a 10% discount voucher for your first appointment with me (conditions apply).

So, have a great week. 🌻

Labradorite - Recharge Your Destiny. This is it guys! Finishing off the week with a bang! It is time to recharge your destiny. How do you do this you may ask. It’s simple. Release the things, people, and situations in your life that don’t take you closer to how you want your life to be. Yes, this may be painful but totally necessary if you are going to have the life that you want. There is no time for procrastination. Use the bandaid method. Pick one item you need to release from your life and do it…let it go. Don’t think it over, don’t wallow in the grief you may feel for any longer than necessary and if it is actual physical stuff, don’t leave it lying around for you to put back into your cupboards. Get rid of it as quickly as possible by selling, throwing out, recycling or giving to charity. By making space in your life whether physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually, you are creating a void for Spirit and the Universe to fill with the life that you want.

Mullein - Integration. This week should have been lots of fun, thinking about what you want to bring into your life to give you more joyful moments and meaning. If it hasn’t been fun for you then you are trying too hard. Relax. This is supposed to be fun. Remember, whatever you do will be right for you. We are now at the beginning of the weekend and Spirit wants us to integrate all that we have learned, processed, felt and created this week. Start putting those baby steps into action. Schedule them in your planner and do them, and do them with joy! It is now time to walk the walk and talk the talk.

Screech Owl - Get Creative. Okay, so, so far this week we have really looked at what brings us joy and listened for Spirit to help us with that if we are struggling. We have realised the potential we have if we can just step outside our comfort zone and we have stopped to appreciate the process. What now? Now is the time to really get creative about where you want your life to go. What would you do if money, talent, location, skills and abilities were not obstacles to having the life you want. What would you do. GET CREATIVE!!! Write down in your journal what a day in your life would look like if you were doing exactly what you wanted to do. Be specific, get emotional, see the outcome of this fabulous life lived. Now what could you do today to start working towards that life?

Cow and Bull - Appreciate the Process. We are always in a hurry to have, do and be everything straight away. Nobody wants to wait for things anymore. We want quick fixes and instant gratification which only makes us want more and more. Today I want you to slow down and really appreciate where you are in your life right now. Where are you on your journey? Journal about it. What are you grateful for in your life right now? What could have been done better or differently and what did you learn from that process? We really need to appreciate the process, OUR unique process, because we are all going through life differently and we need to appreciate our journey, ensuring that we don’t compare our journey to others. We are all heading in the same direction, whether we realise this or not and how we get there is completely up to Spirit and the Universe. You are exactly where you are supposed to be. If you don’t stop and appreciate how far you’ve come or what you’ve learned or the riches you have already received, then you are missing out on the best part of the journey.
