The Resting Witch

28/05/2026

I used to struggle with this sooo much 😵‍💫

During my big burnt out in 2022, I was studying to become an English teacher whilst also working three jobs and managing chronic illness and undiagnosed ADHD, which at the time I had no idea I had, despite my boyfriend at the time telling me you have ADHD, (because we both clearly did), we were like two dogs constantly having the zoomies when we were together, or we were non verbal aliens napping. 😆

Anyway, I was trying to lesson plan for class but no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't do it, the words weren't coming, my brain wasn't working, and the more I tried to make it happen, the less happened of course. It's funny now with hindsight but at the time I was literally having a mental breakdown, getting absolutely raging at myself for not being able to just focus and get the work done. I was so frustrated and would be so hard on myself and it would always lead to a meltdown staring at my laptop screen and wondering how everyone else on this course is working full time, some have kids and are still managing to keep up with course work without breaking a sweat, meanwhile I am in full Bubbles mode from Powerpuff Girls IYKYK🥲

Back then I had little knowledge of neurodivergence or the nervous system, and how much being neurodivergent impacts the body and nervous system in huge ways that don't typically affect neurotypical people.

When I started to learn about ADHD and the nervous system, my life started making sense. I realised I am not lazy or unable, I just need a pace that works for me and I will thrive.

It's devastating how little awareness of support there is for neurodivergent people in the work place or education systems. Although there is more awareness now, unfortunately ND people usually aren't offered roles or jobs that support their individual needs and allow them to do the job, just not in the way neurotypical or able bodied people are expected to do it. This is something I pray changes with time because disabled people deserve opportunities that genuinely support them and allow them to work.

The current energies are weird so if you feel like you’re losing your heed don’t worry you’re not the only one, we are all very much in this mind field of navigating life in the modern world together. This week just feels extra foreign. I feel a lot of people are getting lost in comparison this week or the grass is greener kind of thinking. Gemini season is also giving us all louder mind chatter. Don’t listen to all of the thoughts, some are utter sh*te and you know it 💁🏼

Mars is square Pluto so they are basically square going each other (Scots will get this, others won’t 😂)

This feels like inner conflict, like not being able to choose which path to follow, being very self critical, feeling like you’ve wasted time, or that nothing is changing but don’t give into the illusions of Mars, don’t let the headstrong hyper independent energy trick you into believing you are a failure or that you’re not enough just as you are! Mars always wants to be moving fast with quick results.

Mix that with the need to transform and evolve into a better version of self (Pluto), and you have a concoction for a pretty potent self loathing cocktail this week.

This week slows us down physically so we can catch up spiritually.

We also have a Blue Moon in Sagittarius approaching - Sunday 31st May. Blue Moons are rare because they signify a second full moon in one month. We started the month with a full moon in Scorpio the Scorpion - the shedding of old skin and we are ending it with a full moon in Sagittarius the Archer 🏹

This is actually a rare opportunity where a full moon can be used for manifestation. Sagittarius rules philosophy, long distance travel, relocation, higher learning, spiritual advancement, it wants to expand, explore, learn, take big leaps of faith and not worry too much about where it lands, it’s here for the journey. Jupiter rules Sagittarius, this week is asking you to put intention, planning and action into your dreams and believing that your dream life is POSSIBLE!

Not only is it possible, but it’s waiting for you. Your higher self is already in the timeline you have been daydreaming about. Our physical bodies just need some time to catch up!💘

We are always learning. Beginners mind. We aren't supposed to know it all because what would be the point in that? Then there would be no mystery, no journey, no wonder or trust or surrender 🌀

Let the waves of life wash over you and listen to their messages 🌊

In 2020 I had my spiritual awakening, I wonder what caused that!?👁️🤣

When the whole world is in deep fear and psychosis, but you see through the illusion, you begin to awaken to a myriad of other distortions that have been playing out in our realm for thousands of years, and wonder if perhaps there is more that we are being lied to about.

It was in 2020 when I started to develop my spiritual practices and peel back the veil of illusion. I went deep down the conspiracy rabbit hole, I also started exploring the world of psychedelics, sacred geometry, moving back to rural east coast Scotland meant I deepened my connection with nature and spent most of my time outdoors by myself, if you want to know yourself - spend time alone in nature, she will show you who you really are. 2020 was also the year that I birthed Zen Jen - the name of my lil business before it grew into The Resting Witch and all that I am and offer today 🪬

At that time I was deeply invested in witchcraft, I did a lot of reading, research and spell work. Every new and full moon I would be spell casting of some sort or just celebrating the moon and or a diety whom I had been working with. One of the spells I did which I knew would take time but also didn't realise it would begin to manifest quickly simultaneously was - I asked the universe to make me psychic. I wanted to be able to see what was really going on in both the seen and unseen realms of our universe. I prayed and prayed staring at the sun during the day and the moon at night. I made a sigil and kept it and my spell jar on my window sill for months if not years until I realised the spell was working.

Activating your psychic gifts is never what you think it's going to be. It's never as simple as that. Back then I was a baby witch, and my ego was big, I wanted to be psychic so I could know things and not be manipulated by the systems that were, but I would soon be shown that activating your sensitivity comes with a sacrifice, like all spellwork. I sacrificed my old life, a life of ignorant bliss, of seeing magick as something that's cool and interesting to actually activating the truth of magick and who we are 🌙

Feeling a bit bleaaughh today? Bit unmotivated, couch potato vibes.

Me too. It's okay it's the medicine of the Cancer moon inviting us into a deeper state of resting and receiving. ♋️🌝 which is beautiful after a Ta**us new moon which sparked some new seeds and intentions but also made us aware of all the change that has transpired in our personal lives over the last year.

Moon conjunct Venus and Jupiter = dreamy energy, nostalgia, dreams of your future, downloads and insights into your dream life and how that may manifest over the next year.

Cancer rules our home, the feminine, our wombs, bellies and b***s, so bathing, massaging or just adorning yourself is very much attuned to this lovely Cancerian energy 🙂‍↔️🌙

Reinventing myself the first week of Pluto retrograde in true Leo fashion by dying my mane bright orange really slapped ~ dopamine running steadily once again.
The moment when you realise all of your manifestations have come true and you find yourself surrounded by the most beautiful aligned soul deep friendships. Bonds that transcend time and space. Connections that make you feel whole. Spaces where all parts of yourself can show up authentically unfiltered and free. Forever grateful for walking the path less travelled. For trusting in God's whispers and signs. For dropping into the magick of the present when life is opening up and there are so many different timelines presenting themselves. This way or that. It doesn't really matter which destination you choose. All of them will at some point be your reality. You just need to walk in the direction that your soul is most called to in this moment and trust that that is enough. We're not supposed to have it all figured out it, I have never believed in life plans let alone 5 year plans. I believe in moving with the frequency that feels truest to me and dancing with it and letting it open me up and show me the great limitless light that exists within. We came to Earth with a beginners mind, a blank canvas ~ what a gift. The journey is of remembering and becoming, it's our choice to remember our true nature and tend to ourselves with curiosity and loving care like we would do to our garden. Life is a constant cycle of evolution initiated by many deaths and rebirths. Change is part of being alive and I am so grateful for it. Each day you wake up is an opportunity to try something new, to embody the frequency that allows your hopes and dreams to manifest. Each day is a gift, whether it's spent creating or resting, no day is ever wasted. To be in a place where my capacity is expanding and my world is getting bigger can feel like a lot to integrate but I know all I need to do is surrender control and let heaven guide me. I am protected, I am loved, I am divine, I am the universe experiencing itself, and so it is ✨✨✨🪽🪽🪽🦋🦋🦋

You are not here to conform you are here to CREATE 🦋

The way the world is run is exhausting for everyone let alone disabled people, the expectation that we should show up to work everyday and work all day no matter what is going on in our lives or what health issues we are experiencing or disabilities etc is absolutely insane and I wish we would have more courage to realise this and to recognise that it is these exact systems and ways of living that are making us sick. You are not a machine you are a multifaceted being made of light.

When people are sick and exhausted, burnt out, they are more easy to control. It's easier to get them to conform because there is a fear within that believes if we stop we will die. I am not exaggerating when I say that, that was my lived experience and honestly I did die spiritually multiple times when I went through my big burn out at the end of 2022.

It has taken me years to get to where I am now to be in a place where I fully honour and respect my bodies no and yes. I can feel it when my body is contracting in response to something and I know that means NO it's not aligned, and I can feel it when my body is expanding in response to something and that means YES f**k yes this is what you are here to create and cultivate and it's a soul led purpose.

We have been brainwashed to believe that our bodies NO is weakness and that we should always say yes to the opportunities that are offered to us if they will give us a shot at recognition or offer us some money. In reality this couldn't be further from the truth.

The whole point of doing the work I do is because I know I am here to create new spaces and environments that are accessible for all beings. This looks like seeing the person as an individual being with a whole universe of their own, not a number of a conveyer belt of what they can produce to make the person at the top money. This looks like creating events that allow sovereignty for everyone at all times. If you want to leave you can, if you want to take a nap you can, if you want to go for a walk you can. THIS IS ALL POSSIBLE. You just need to believe the world can be better place for everyone and so it is. 🙏�

We are in the cocoon right now 🐛 Somewhere between who we have been before the Scorpio Full Moon at the start of May and who we are becoming after the Ta**us New Moon this weekend.

Ta**us season invites us to cocoon as much as we need to. It reminds us that nature doesn't rush and yet it still gets everything done so why do we incessantly rush to produce when we have the choice to create when it feels natural to us.

You may be feeling unmotivated, uninspired, depressed, tired, just a bit out of sorts but probably the main thing that's causing you discomfort is your refusal to be in this sludgy mucky stage where it seems like there is no growth. We must realise that in the mud is where the seed is planted, it's how we take root. We must first tend to our soil, slowing watering it, nourishing ourselves, calling on one another just like the trees do to support each other through the different seasons of life.

Allow yourself to be in this seemingly unproductive phase and acknowledge that it is just that - a phase. As Leo stellium being I definitely struggle with these in-between phases. It can feel like I am doing something wrong or life isn't lifing the way I want it to but actually nothing is wrong and life is beautiful, I just need to adapt to the energy of slowness and softness and to allow myself to receive instead of do right now.

You can still create it just might be from a different energy and that's okay, that's adapting, that is nature.
