Today is the 2·2 portal, opening alongside the residing energies of last night’s Full Snow Moon ✨

The Snow Moon brings illumination and gentle clearing, shining a light on what has been quietly gestating beneath the surface and helping us sense what is ready to emerge as we move toward spring.

Last night, inside the Shamanic Dragon Priestess programme, I held an Imbolc ceremony aligned with this threshold.
We worked with the energy of Brigid and her two white dragons, standing either side of her.

There was a strong energy current moving through the ceremony, that sense of life beginning to stir again.
We can see the same energy reflected in nature now, as new shoots quietly start to push through the earth.

This is a message from my Dragon Wisdom Codes oracle deck, channeled a few years ago specifically for the 2·2 portal, and it beautifully mirrors the energies unfolding right now.

Sharing it here for you.

⸻

2/2 Portal Doorway:

Do you feel her? Emerging and rising from the earth?

She is ready to arise in you. Fresh, renewed with an energy expression for the wild.

There is no taming her as she rises to the fullest potential of your soul, bringing through your creative divine sovereign power.

Embrace this alchemical change as you rise like a phoenix, becoming one with your soul.

It’s time to do you!

✨ Imbolc Ceremony inside the Shamanic Dragon Priestess Program ✨

Tonight we gathered to honour Imbolc and the gentle return of light.

We journeyed with Brigid, her white flame, and two white dragons carrying silver and gold light. Through drum journeying, reflection, and release, we worked with this threshold moment between winter and spring.

Intentions were placed into an energetic egg to be nurtured through gestation, ready to hatch at the Spring Equinox. A reminder that this season is not about rushing forward, but about tending what is quietly beginning to emerge.

Imbolc always asks us to listen more deeply.
To soften.
To trust what is stirring beneath the surface.

🕯️✨

01/02/2026

At Imbolc, I always feel the presence of Brigid most strongly, her white flame moving softly through the body. Not a burning fire, but a cleansing one.
A healing light that wraps around you, easing what has been held too tightly through winter.

As a child, I remember walks with my mum to school and she would point out the first signs of life, snowdrops pushing bravely through the cold earth, p***y willows unfurling their silver softness. It became a fun annual game to look for them. These small moments as a child taught me something I still carry now: the return of light is quiet, tender, and easily missed if we rush.

I still keep an eye out for these signs now on my walks, noticing if these signs are later or earlier than usual. This year I saw the first snowdrop the day after my birthday in January, very early for snowdrops, showing how much milder it is this year. Imbolc is not a sudden awakening. It is a gentle emergence from the dark belly of winter.

We have been in gestation, resting, dreaming, turning things over in the dark. Our plans, ideas, and longings have been forming beneath the surface. Now is the time to check in with them softly. To notice what still feels alive. To release what no longer wants to be carried forward.

This is not a moment for force or urgency.
Brigid, goddess of fertility and creativity, reminds us that new life cannot be rushed. Seeds need warmth, attention, and patience, not pressure.

So at Imbolc, ask yourself:
• What wants gentle tending rather than action?
• What needs warmth, rest, or protection?
• What small spark is ready to be nurtured as the light returns?

Let Brigid’s white flame cleanse and bless your body, your energy, and your dreams.
Trust the slow unfurling.

This evening, inside the Shamanic Dragon Priestess program, we will be working directly with Brigid’s energy in our live Imbolc ceremony. Together we will welcome her white flame, cleanse and bless the body and the womb of creation, and gently tend what is ready to be born as the light returns.

Over time, certain threads within my work have grown in depth and clarity. The Mystery School teachings, including the Sophianic Spiral of the Dragon Rose and the Shamanic Dragon Priestess path, have been shared here within Soulful Wisdom Academy through courses, posts, and lived exploration. What has become clear is that this strand now benefits from having its own dedicated space, where it can be held and explored without being woven through everything else I offer.

I’ve created Soulful Wisdom Mystery School Page as a place to share this work more coherently. There, I’ll be speaking into intuition, dragon wisdom, Earth connection, lunar rhythm, feminine remembrance, and the spiral path that brings these threads together.

If this aspect of my work speaks to you, I'd love you to join me there and follow along as it continues to unfold...🐉🌹

🌀It’s the 40th anniversary of the film, Labyrinth this year with David Bowie.

It was the first film I ever went to see at the cinema without an adult. I was 12, it was my birthday, and a friend and I caught the bus into town on our own. I remember feeling so grown up, so independent, like I’d crossed some invisible threshold.

Looking back, that feels significant.
Because Labyrinth isn’t just a fantasy film. At its heart, it’s a story about power, consent, and discernment. About navigating manipulation, illusion, and temptation and about learning who and what truly supports you along the way.

The character Sarah doesn’t get through the Labyrinth alone. She gathers companions, learns who she can trust, and slowly realises that not everything offering help actually has her best interests at heart. Some characters drain her energy. Others steady her. And some relationships are revealed as illusions altogether.

That feels very relevant right now.
As the Year of the Snake plays out its final energies until February, anything that pulls you off centre is likely to be highlighted. You may notice friendships or relationships falling away, or feel a clear inner knowing that it’s time to step back from dynamics that don’t feel supportive.

I’m not talking about true relationships where honesty can be uncomfortable at times. I’m talking about those connections where your energy is consistently pulled, where you leave feeling diminished, confused, or not quite yourself. And it’s worth saying, this works both ways. Sometimes we are the ones pulling without realising it.

One of the most powerful moments in Labyrinth comes right at the end, when Sarah finally remembers the words she’s been trying to recall throughout the film. Standing before Jareth, the Goblin King, she says:

“You have no power over me.”

And that’s the moment everything changes.
Not because she fights him. Not because she destroys the Labyrinth. But because she claims her authority.

That line isn’t about domination. It’s about recognition. About remembering where power truly lives.

And that, more than anything, feels like the deeper theme moving through right now, in our relationships, our inner worlds, and the stories we’re being invited to release.

Sometimes the most transformative act is remembering who you are and who no longer gets to decide that for you. What or who has power over you right now?

I’m really excited to finally share that I’ll be coming together with Suzanne York, the New Forest Mystic, for a small series of in-person workshops and retreat days over the coming year.

This collaboration has been gently weaving behind the scenes for a while, and it feels like the right moment to bring it into the open.

Together, we’ll be creating grounded, nurturing spaces that blend intuitive guidance, energy work, soul remembrance, and connection to place. These are not large events. They’re intentionally small, well held, and designed for people who feel called to explore their inner world in a steady, supported way.

✨ Our first offering is now live:
Soul Origins: A Past Life Retreat Day
📅 Friday 6th March
📍 Horton & Chalbury Village Hall

This is a one-day immersive retreat exploring soul history, energetic blueprint, and the threads that connect you to certain places and paths. The day includes past-life meditation, ritual, crystal healing, sound, and personalised astrocartography.

We also have further gatherings already taking shape:

🌹 The Apple & The Rose – A Journey to Avalon
📅 22nd April 2026
📍 Glastonbury

💧 Three Springs of Avalon – A 2-Day Immersive Experience
📅 Autumn 2026 (dates to be confirmed)
📍 Glastonbury area

🌿 Retreat Day – Details Coming Soon
📅 13th November 2026
📍 Horton & Chalbury Village Hall

All the details, including booking information for Soul Origins, are now on my website. Bookings are managed via Suzanne’s site, but you’ll find everything linked through here:

👉 https://www.soulfulwisdomacademy.com/workshops

If this speaks to you, I’d also recommend joining my email list so you don’t miss future dates as they’re released. These spaces are intentionally limited, and I’ll always share details there first.

It feels really special to be bringing this work into the world together.

A few months ago, I was a guest on the Gardner Ben Podcast, which you can now listen to today.

Ben is a regular client of mine, and we spoke about Reiki healing, what it can feel like to give and receive a treatment, protecting and releasing energy, dragons, shamanism, crystals, mediumship, the spirit of the house and the trees, and how being in nature supports the nervous system.

I want to be honest, this conversation stretched me.

I am often speaking in spaces where dragons, energy work, and shamanic language are already understood. This felt different. It asked me to hold my work clearly and confidently, without diluting it, but also without assuming shared language.

Ben was incredibly grounded and welcoming and put me at ease straight away. When he shared his own experience of healing during the conversation, I felt deeply humbled. I had not realised the impact in quite that way at the time, and hearing it reflected back was unexpectedly moving.

If you enjoy gardening, especially roses, Ben is also wonderful to follow on Instagram. He shares generous, practical tips and advice that are easy to apply and deeply connected to working with the land.

🩷 They’re Back – Now as Monthly Intuitive Development Workshops 🩷

Over the years, my intuitive and psychic development circle has grown and evolved. This year, it’s returning in a new way.

Rather than just a weekly meditation and sharing space, these are now monthly, extended workshops, created to give us the time and space to really practise, explore, and integrate intuitive skills more deeply.

These workshops are for you if you want to move beyond simply “tuning in” and begin actively developing trust, confidence, and clarity in your intuitive abilities.

In our time together, we’ll explore themed practices such as:
🌿 Scrying with water, mirrors, or crystals
🌿 Tarot and oracle card reading
🌿 Receiving intuitive impressions and messages
🌿 Aura and energy sensing
🌿 Psychometry, remote viewing, and partnered exercises
🌿 Guided meditation to support integration

Meeting monthly allows each session to be more immersive, practical, and embodied, rather than rushed or surface-level.

✨ New Format
• Monthly workshops (not weekly)
• Longer sessions for deeper practice
• Small, supportive group
• Hands-on, experiential learning All materials provided-Selection of teas and coffee available

📅 Next Workshop: Wednesday 4th March
🕰 Time: 10:00am – 12:30pm
📍 Location: My healing room near Fordingbridge, New Forest
💫 Energy Exchange: £25
📕 Booking via:

https://www.soulfulwisdomacademy.com/workshops

Spaces are limited to keep the group well held.
This is a gentle but powerful space to grow your intuitive awareness at your own pace, without pressure or expectation.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge to trust what you sense, see, or feel more deeply… you’ll be very welcome.

Another conversation I’ve been noticing is a lot of talk on false light.
Some say certain beings are false light.
Some say archangels are false light.
Others say dragons are false light, or light language is false light, or higher beings are false light.

Others speak of spiritual wars, federations, prison planets, or the need to escape Earth altogether.
I am not here to say any of this is right or wrong.

What I am interested in is what happens when spirituality becomes another place where fear, hierarchy, and power are handed away.

Because when you strip it back, the stories start to sound very familiar.
Different religions have always claimed to be the “one true way.”
Each warned against the others.
Each framed salvation, ascension, or escape as the goal.

Much of modern spirituality mirrors this same structure, just with different language.
And that is where discernment matters.

For me, false light is not about specific beings, symbols, or modalities.
False light appears whenever we outsource our authority, override our body, or disconnect from the living world in front of us.

You can bypass truth with angels just as easily as with gods.
You can bypass embodiment with light as easily as with darkness.

This is why I always come back to the Earth as a living intelligence.
The Earth roots us.
The Earth slows us down.
The Earth brings us back into relationship, responsibility, and presence.

When you are connected to the land, your body, and the natural rhythms around you, discernment becomes much simpler. There is less need for protection narratives, spiritual hierarchies, or fear-based cosmologies.

This is also why relationship matters.
With plants.
With practices.
With what you open yourself to.
Even plant medicine, when approached without relationship, grounding, or integration, can take us far away from ourselves rather than deeper into truth.

For me, spirituality is not about escaping Earth.
It is about remembering how to be here.
Rooted.
Embodied.
In dialogue with the living world.
That is where my centre is.
That is where my power stays.
And that, for me, is the simplest form of discernment there is.

I’m not very good at being organised or posting regularly. I tend to share when I have something to say in the moment, or when I’m picking up on certain energies. This is something I’m currently reflecting on, and as I was doing so, I realised I’m very aware of the energy around power right now. It feels like the theme of the week.

We only have to look at the media and the world around us to see power struggles playing out on the world stage. Those energies can leach into our everyday lives too, almost like entities that pull at our energy if we’re not centred. We’ve also just come through a festive period where families and friends have come together, or not and certain power plays or old patterns may have shown up for you during that time.

As we close down the tail of that snake until February, any patterns around leakage of personal power are waiting to be recognised. They’re coming to the surface to be closed off, both collectively and in our everyday lives. These energies can feel quite ungrounding right now, which is why grounding, inner governance, and sovereignty are so important.

Over the past couple of days I’ve shared a few posts around this, and later I’ll share some reflections on false light. I’m seeing a lot of posts about it at the moment, many of which feel fear-based. Anything that creates fear in the body immediately knocks us off centre and into a loss of power. So the theme of this week, for me, is personal power, discernment and sovereignty, and I’ll continue to share what I’m tuning into.

I’ll be honest, I felt the dragons had gone a little quiet for a moment, but anything around this subject is deeply dragon energy, so of course they’re present. If this theme resonates with you, stay tuned, and do visit my page if you haven’t seen the recent posts and want to understand what I’m tapping into right now.

Do you sense these energies too? If so, how are they playing out for you?
