I'm so deeply grateful, and wanting to share a little deeper here

I'm Clare, and I'm an intuitive astrologer, writer, and shamanic practitioner with a background in psychology, creative writing for wellbeing and meditation teaching.

I live my life through an animist lens, that all people, places, and animals have an essence, a spirit that is alive. And that when we begin to heal and soften ways that have made us forget this, as well as nurturing and listening to ourselves, one another and nature, from a heart centred, whole place, the feelings and possibilities are nothing short of magic and miraculous.

As a part of living this shamanic way, I have come to know, listen to, be supported by and be in relationship with plant medicines, such as rose, hawthorn, lemon balm, tulsi, blackthorn, calendula, blue lotus, and of course, Cacao.

Mama Cacao is a strong, gentle holding medicine, which is great for the physical heart with flavanoids, as well as the joy molecule anandamide.

She has held me through some of the most turbulent times, as well as being such a deep part of the joyful, ecstatic times in my life. She has been a daily blanket for me, to soften, breathe and listen. To sit with intention, even for just 15 minutes, to hear what it is I need, to pray, move, drum, from a heart centred place.

That's her medicine, dropping out of the busy mind and busy world, to be cradled in love for just long enough that your heart can thaw or awaken, and to begin to live from that place.

So welcome if you're knew here, and welcome a little deeper if you're not 🤎

I'm so gently excited to share some beautiful new things emerging in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out ✨️

The first time I was held in a space like this was with a lifechanging life coach, and it has continued with astrologers, mentors, teachers, reflexologists, and healers.

It wasn't easy to confront a reality that my life was so full of dysregulation, pain, and avoidance.

There have been some incredible elders, not aways in age, but in their deep wisdom and ability to hold a safe space for me to go inwards.

To witness me in both my pain and riveting joy, and they didn't run, shame or shun.

That's the magic. That's what we all deserve.

Chiron, the wounded healer asteroid, stationed direct yesterday after a long five months of inner healing, identity questions and no shortage of what the f***s in an already chaotic year of shedding and endings.

We are on the final leg the next six months of Chiron in Aries, where it has been for the last eight years.

We have extracted deep lessons and changes in identity, self worth, assertion, and the inner child.

Everyone experiences this differently, but those with aries and cardinal placements (aries, cancer, libra, and capricorn) will have been feeling this most.

This morning was also a full super moon in Cancer, and has just joined up with Jupiter, the planet of expansion and growth.

You may have felt a strong pull to close or the urge to run, but the medicine here is letting both have a say, the rage, and the sadness.

Moving with the grief, rage, journalling, having a full moon fire, praying to be held, voicing it all to someone somewhere be that a tree, robin, the great spirit, goddess, however it resonates with you.

We can hold both, the validation of all we have endured, and the hope and possibility of all we are becoming.

That pain can become our greatest medicine.

And when we let ourselves be held, by people, places, plants or the divine, we are capable of so much.

Not to achieve or appease, but to align with what we truly want and need, to feel alive.

To feel alive, isn't that what this is all about?

My calendar is open for intuitive astrology sessions, shamanic healing, womb healing, and mentorship.

An invitation to be

This year I gave myself permission to be real

About the pressure of society and consumerism

The disconnection from the slow, natural rhythm that winter is supposed to be

About the ways my nervous system wanted that quiet, gentle, warm embrace all along

And that I, accompanied by beloved friends, my loved ones, and plant kin, can be held in the ways I need

But I only found this in pausing

In sitting in uncomfortable feelings

But we don't need to stay there in it

I sat under the moon beside the fire on Christmas day, with beloved blackthorn and cacao. I sang, cried, drummed, shared and prayed, and it has rippled out since, a remembering that we are the medicine

And not in a light and fluffy, spiritual bypassing way

That we really are incredibly able to converse, feel, intuit, heal and so much more than we'll ever comprehend or understand

We are often blown away by nature's wonders and miraculous design, but lose steam the moment we look at ourselves

We have such an abundance of love and ways to be held by nature, in physical and energy form, but it's the seemingly simple act of pausing long enough to hear what it is we need, and what the plants wish to share with us, that's the often difficult and uncomfortable part

Because we simply were not taught it

Or if we were, it was in secretive, taboo moments

What if I'm doing it wrong?
Am I imagining these colours or intuitive hunches?
Who do I think I am?

These voices emerge for me too, and I acknowledge them, but they sit at the table with me. I take them with me, and continue those conversations.

I continue to ponder. To gently listen to what I need, and to gently listen to what can help me in the natural world around me.

It's so powerful to intuit and plan from a place of alignment together.

winter solstice blessings

goodness me am I blessed

to be so loved by humans, animals, and trees
to be so held, heard, witnessed

that Grace chose me to be her mama

that I get to witness my favourite humans, especially my closest soul sister cousin, dote and adore her, and her bask in all of it

that I get to choose love over and over again, in this precious, precious life

🪔

Neptune stations direct today after five months, and finishes its final stretch after 14 years in Pisces, never to return again in our lifetime.

Neptune is the planet of dreams, illusion, delusion and spirituality. And what a 14 years it has been, collectively through the rise in wellness, spirituality, but also in the amount of delusion and spiritual ego.

These last five months, we journeyed inwards, beneath the veil, ever so uncomfortably. With Saturn right next to it, we were being asked to stay accountable, to take radical responsibility.

This has felt brutal and confronting at times, and I know so many of you have shared it has been for you too.

A stripping bare of who we thought we were, with this dance between love and fear in all of it.

At times I have been experiencing peace, of grateful sweet simplicity, like a freshness when the house is cleansed, and beautiful aromas of incense fill the air, a clean slate so full of beauty, space and possibility.

And yet, almost paralysingly so, there would emerge this "wait what?" feeling of being so stripped bare, so aware of all the places I cling and escape to

How many choices have been driven by fear or societal shoulds.

How many dreams that were not mine.

How we can project onto people and places, so much so we miss what is truly the reality in front of us.

We met with illusions shattering and dreams dissolving, and we come to ask ourselves, with what is left, who are we?

Neptune's forward motion today may feel really harsh, achy, or uncomfortable, in the body especially.

The body knows, and we can support our body's wisdom by giving it opportunities to speak.

Be that with herbs such as tulsi tea, for the nervous system, cacao to be held and melt into the wisdom of the heart or blue lotus to open more deeply to intuitive knowing. Smelling them, singing with them. Moving the body in dance and with breath.

When the sun peeps momentarily through the clouds by the sea, or a robin sings its melody, we can ask for their help in remembering.

We can awaken our ancient wisdom in many other ways, but it is through our wise, incredible bodies, not in transcendence.

Mama mama mama
What a journey it has been
From the moment you met my lips
I've never felt so seen

Your cradle shell, your warming touch
A boat for me to lay within
I reach out my hand to ask you
How this softening may begin

The taste of love it pours itself
As my being is allowed to melt
Wisdom prevails as if to say
All, my dear, must be felt

Like a waterfall cascading
To my heart from a quieting mind
Lay in this sacred pool of oneness
In wonder of all you may find

Explore the beauty, trust
The threads of love all around
Come back here to meet with me
May you find your sacred ground

Your words they truly matter
They are whispers of your soul
A dance, a song and rhythm to hear
To remember you are already whole

I arrived at Brigid's mound and was treading carefully, wondering if it's respectful to take pictures, eat some healing hawthorn berries and sit below the branches.

I was met with warm and a message that I am welcome here, under the hawthorn, willow and ash.

The emotion flooded through me, my tears streaming down my face and a little robin landed on the hawthorn. The branch shook and the drops of morning dew off the hawthorn berries felt like they merged with the tears on my face.

What a gift.

To be reminded of my place, our place, here, as nature.

Life is spectacular

Birds flying in unison to the backdrop of a rainbow.

Which is more spectacular? What a beautiful question to ponder.

Or the late afternoon winter sun glimmering gently through a birch tree forest, its golden leaves glistening in the light above mushroom elf steps.

I both soften and awaken when I see all this beauty.

Mouth curls, breath deepens, and for a moment in time, I feel our oneness.

The sweeping cedar curtains draped around me, the sweet scent of her long, soft leaves transport me back to my childhood.

The sound of horse hooves on a country lane and the sight of their breath merging with the mystical winter fog.

This beauty courses through me like a warming song sung in harmony with loved ones. It's nature's rhythm. And I just want to share it all with you.

I was, we were, always meant to share in all of this, together.

This year cracked me open and unravelled me.

From all the ways I had given away my power to people, places, masks and identities I had worn for so long.

I sat with Mama Cacao in July at a gentle yet profoundly healing women's retreat, after one of the hardest years of my life.

A seed of softening began there, in that circle of powerful women from all walks of life.

What I'd later discover, as everything I had been clinging to as certain dissolved before me, was that I am just as powerful and worthy as every heart-centred, badass woman I was blessed to sit in that circle with.

That I have a place here.

And even more so, my world, and the world, thrives when I am truly alive.

Alive to my senses, joy, pleasure, grief, my gifts.

And being alive.

That is enough.

I am enough.

We are enough.

You are enough.

As who we thought we were fades to dust, we come to meet our grief, our rage and the foundation and core of who we are; love.

We come to meet what exists beneath the stories, heaviness, identities, masks and projections.

We lift what was never ours to carry, and edge closer and closer to that light that exists within us all.

We talk about presence as being simple, but nearly everything in the world and within us resists it.

We are inherently afraid of dying, and change is a form of that.

But as we turn our face towards it, we can work with it, instead of it running away with us.

We meet our own deeper well of love through leaning into all the walls we've built against it.

Simplicity and bliss arrive, because we have given our grief the space to move.

Be that through breath and devotional prayer, mantra, drinking heart-opening cacao in ceremony, shamanic stone healing, movement or stream of consciousness writing.

Our sacred tears flow with allowance and acceptance, that's where the healing happens. The doorway to our essence, through our feeling heart, to our true selves as a soul in this earthly body.

Not a body with a sprinkling of soul.

We allow our light to dance so intimately with our shadow.

We come to devote our lives to letting that dance be one of love and reverence.

So as we close these final weeks of the year of the snake, with many planets retrograde, and the nine year in numerology, we're closing out a metamorphosis.

We are in it.

The only way is through.

As humans, we often love to skip that part.

Next year, we begin anew.

The energy is full of momentum, hope and deep meaning.

But what do we truly want?

After all that has been shed, what and who remains?

There are just a few ways to work together to harness this energy, to shed worn-out ways with ease, and welcome deep alignment.

Cacao and Connection Circle

Sunday 14th December 1pm - 4pm

Walsingham, Norfolk

A ceremony of connecting with and drinking raw cacao, a heart-opening plant medicine.

We will gather in a circle of no more than seven men and women, and I will lead a guided meditation, talk about the energy of the times and how to work with it. We will then take a short contemplative walk from the hall to the healing well, where you'll have an opportunity to reflect, drink the water and wander the beautiful gardens.

⭐ Intuitive Astrology Reading ⭐

Intuitive Astrology is so much more than the art of reading charts and the planets, it's an invitation, and opening for you to remember the ancient ways of communicating with spirit, with the energies that are at play, whether we choose to co-create with them or not. Through our embodiment as nature, we become attuned to the natural cycles and the power of the cosmos. Let's explore and open to the wisdom within and around you, together.

⭐Asteroid Astrology Reading ⭐

Much like a birth chart reading, but with a closer look at significant asteroids in your chart. We will explore the liberation of Lilith, the nurturing power of Ceres, the wounded healer Chiron, the integrative nature of Chariklo, what the soul needs in relationships with Juno as well as the devotional Vesta, and higher intelligence of Pallas.

This is usually recommended following a birth chart reading, but can be an add-on to a birth chart reading.

⭐Shamanic Astrology Reading ⭐

The plant kin are powerful allies, along with the planets (just one letter separates them!)This reading is a deeper look at one area in your life you'd like to focus on, working with the planets and a plant ally, how they are intertwined and how to work with them in harmony.

This reading is ritualistic as well as interactive, focusing on intuitive, embodied astrology, enabling you to have a deeper understanding and connection with yourself as a part of the cosmos. This option is great for deepening your connection to the earth and sky, within and around you.

⭐ Year Ahead Forecast Reading ⭐

A reading to explore all the important transits (planetary movements) and how you can best work with them. The reading is 45 minutes, and an in-depth PDF for you to refer to throughout the year will be sent to you.

⭐ Shamanic Healing ⭐

I work with the Shamanic Medicine Wheel of the Incas. Energy healing works on more than just the physical body, restoring balance and harmony and promoting the body’s own ability to self-heal. I welcome you into a safe, sacred and comfortable space for your shamanic healing session. In a session we can work on helping you release old stories, remove heavy energy from the field, soul retrieval, power animal connection and much more.

We were never meant to only journey alone.

Not without community, circle, ceremony, and communicating with the divine, within and without.

If you feel the call to sit together, held by the soft sanctuary of Walsingham, and the warm embrace of mama cacao.

As we edge closer to the darkest night, let the warmth be found in our hearts.

To give space for the whispers and longings.

We will sit in circle with intention, working alongside mama cacao to soften into our hearts. Gently allowing ourselves to be held in the softness that is Walsingham, in the warmth of an indoor space together.

We will share, or simply observe and listen.

We will dream and vision, letting seeds be sown where it is most fertile; the dark.

We will shamanic journey, use our voices with mantra and take a medicine walk through the trees to the holy well.

Everything is invitational, the mantras, sharing, drinking water from the healing well and so on.

Let's gather together, to let our voices be stronger together, our dreams be lifted a little higher and our hearts be softened towards.

To be reminded that we have what it takes to rise, to meet our lives, our dreams and our gifts.

If you would like to, we will stay on for a warm drink by the fire at the end, which you are welcome to stay for 🔥

Email claremccauley@outlook.com to book. The group is going to be small to keep it an intimate space. Contact me if finances are a barrier🧡

when I sit around the fire, with humans, it stirs something ancient in me.

how we are meant to be, in community.

I am very blessed I get to do this in the forest school, and it reminds me of our power found in sitting in a circle.

that I, and the world, needs more of this

to gather with intention
to simplify, return to nature, and our nature

to laugh, sing, move, cry, together

while this year has been and continues to be such a grief-stricken year of endings and shedding, as we can feel, see in numerology and astrology, and in our worlds and others.

you don't need me to tell you that, but maybe it's okay to be reminded you are not alone. that this will pass.

you are allowed to want to be supported, uplifted, encouraged, celebrated, and held in the joy and heaviness. in the polarities of life. in circle, through the circles and cycles of it all.

while so much is ending, decay is fertile ground like the mycelium, for new ways to grow

I can feel them

maybe you can, too

maybe they scare the f**k out of you as well

next year is the year of the horse

we step into a year of freedom, and a 1 year in numerology, a time of beginnings

many planets move forward, and I can feel the potent power of what is coming

of the why we had to shed so much
why we are being called to something greater

I hope to share some more of my deeper callings and creations next year, especially around community gatherings, astrology teaching and deeper shamanic healing work 🧡
