“I don’t mourn the past, but I remember.”

In the newest episode of Lessons with Wesley, we walk through memory and meaning, sparked by a card pull that couldn’t have been more perfect:  Card #9 - Ancestors & Spirit Guides from the Wisdom of the Elders deck by Shawn Leonard, Tracey Metallic, and Aaron Googoo.

This card appeared after a funeral, after walking the outside corridors of my old high school, after reflecting on a cousin who drifted from my life long ago, and whose passing became a doorway to something deeper.

This episode is for anyone who has:

Remembered without regret, carried memories without being consumed by them, and felt the presence of those who are gone, but guiding.

Plus, we reflect on how the Fire Horse of 2026 calls us not to weep for what was, but to gallop toward what is becoming.

Tune in for:

A message from the Ancestors, a reflection on family, time, and forward motion, and a reminder that the past doesn’t chain us; it calls us into purpose!

We lit our Yule fires. We whispered our intentions. Now… we stand in the space between the sacred stillness before the bloom.

This week’s episode invites you to honor the pregnant pause; that mystical moment where transformation stirs beneath the surface. 

Our card pull from the Celtic Dragon Tarot brought us the inverted Death; not a finality, but a quiet turning. The old is fading softly. The new is preparing to rise.

The Ogham stick? Oak. Strength. Endurance. Self-confidence.

A reminder that your roots run deep, and your Fire Horse journey is just beginning.

We’ll also dive into the foundational crystals and stones that can protect, ground, and amplify your magic for 2026. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, these companions are here to help you hold the line between dreaming and doing.

Episode 25 - "Saddle the Soul: Embracing the Fire Horse Energy of 2026"

Are you ready to ride forward with intention?

This week on Lessons with Wesley, we pull back the veil on what it means to step boldly into the year of the Fire Horse; a time of transformation, truth, and fiery movement. The Celtic Dragon Tarot gave us the Seven of Cups (inverted) — a message to stop daydreaming and start choosing. Clarity! Action! Trusting your gut!

And once again, the Reed Ogham Stick appears whispering of healing, love, fertility, and the intentions we planted during Yule that are now beginning to stir beneath the frost.

 What dream is ready to rise?

What skin are you ready to shed?

What step will you take this week to show the universe you're ready?

Tune in for fire, focus, and soul-deep magic.

“Wintering with the Ancients, Part Five of Five: The Seed Beneath the Snow” 

The journey completes its circle.

As we emerge from the dark and sacred days of Yule, we pause to ask:

What intention did you plant during the holy nights?

What quiet gift now begins to stir beneath the frozen soil?

Who or what will walk beside you as it blooms into the light?

This final chapter brings a message of trust, protection, healing, and hope — guided by:

Oracle Card #61 — The Chariot and the Charioteer

Ogham Stick — Reed: Healing, Love, and Fertility

Your seeds are not forgotten.

They are held, and they are becoming.

The wind is shifting. The hooves are near.

In this episode of Lessons with Wesley, we ride into the legend of the Wild Hunt — Odin’s winter procession through stormy skies — and explore the sacred tradition of offerings: milk, bread, whiskey, and soul.

You’ll hear stories, receive guidance from the Celtic Healing Oracle and the Ogham and be invited to reflect on:

 What must be burned away?

What you are ready to offer?

What inner gift is waiting to rise?

 Oracle Card #35 – Spirit of Mountains: Breasts of the Goddess

Ogham Stick – Gorse / Furze: Protection and Resilience

Join me as we honor the dark times of winter, whisper to the unseen, and offer what we can to the old ones who still ride the wind.

As Brigid’s sacred fire still glows from our last gathering, we ask:

What must burn away for the new to rise?

Wow!! What a start to this five-episode series to get us through the holidays! The holidays are not always uplifting for a lot of people. Sometimes our grief and sorrow for those we have lost gets kicked up a few notches during this time. How can I tune in to my loved ones no longer with me in physical form? Channel? Dream? Journal?  What strength can I find within myself during these dark nights of contemplation and inner reflection?

Card: Presence of the Ancestors – The Ancient Ones
Ogham: Oak – Strength, Endurance, the Return of the Oak King
A sacred and powerful beginning to the journey.
