Lessons with Wesley

As Pride Month comes to a close, what wisdom can the cards and Ogham offer about living authentically, loving ourselves, and honoring who we truly are? 

Card Pull - Attitude = Desiring a Balance

Ogham Stick - Hawthorn = protection, cleansing, defense

Get ready to look inward and see what you need to 'hand over'. This episode is "What Are You Handing Over?" 

We are coming out of the Summer Solstice; the Oak King is at his highest power, but even he realizes his time is over which is why he peacefully hands over the power to the Holly King. 

One time has ended, so other wonderful things may begin!

Sometimes the things we hide the deepest are not our wounds; sometimes they are our gifts.

As I settled into my new meditation space and set the intention for this week's card and Ogham pull, the message that emerged was both simple and profound:

Hidden Depths — Something hidden is ready to come to light.

Apple Ogham — Gifts, blessings, healing, and the magic that unfolds when we become whole.

This episode is an invitation to pause and ask yourself:

What have I been holding onto?

What truth am I afraid to speak?

What dream have I kept hidden?

What part of myself is ready to emerge?

Sometimes letting go isn't about releasing something negative.

Sometimes it's about releasing the fear that has kept our light hidden, and when you're ready...Breathe in; let go.

Join me for a journey into hidden depths, healing, and the blessings waiting to emerge.

In this episode, you will hear from the inverted Page of Cups and the Ogham Stick 'Elder'. They speak of knowing it is ok to play, to dream, to take a break during transitional times, but to have the maturity to know when it is time to "pay the piper"! Enjoy!

This episode is deeply personal.

It is the final card pull, the final Ogham stick, and the final episode I will record in the home and sanctuary Nathan and I created together.

This morning, I sat in the folly one last time, surrounded by the pathways, trees, and quiet energy we poured love into over the years, simply giving thanks.

The cards could not have spoken more clearly:

Smudge - clearing energy and releasing what no longer serves us.

Forest Song - nurturing the inner child with love and compassion.

Yew - death, resurrection, and sacred new beginnings.

Sometimes making your mark on the world isn’t something loud or grand. Sometimes it’s loving a place deeply while you are there.

As one chapter closes, another quietly begins.

Join me for this heartfelt episode of reflection, gratitude, release, and new beginnings.

In this episode, I decided to pull a card from the "Enchanted Forest" Oracle Deck. Why? It's May and everything is blooming and all shades of green! The card speaks of trusting your inner guidance with clarity and purpose.

Sometimes the very thing we try to clear away is the thing that was meant to nourish us.

In this episode, “The Gift in the Thorns,” I share a simple, yet powerful moment; what we once saw as a nuisance, revealed itself as a blessing.

Guided by:

Ancestors & Spirit Guides

The energy of Birch - new beginnings, change, grace, and protection.

This episode invites you to reflect:

What have you been resisting?

What have you labeled as “in the way”?

What might be growing there that you haven’t yet seen?

Sometimes the thorns aren’t blocking the gift; they’re protecting it.

Today's episode is something a little different. It was inspired by a simple moment during Easter Sunday; I was watching intention, presence, and love being offered, and it was confirmed that we all have access to that same energy.

So instead of just listening, this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and receive.

Find a quiet space.

Take a deep breath.

Allow yourself to be open.

No expectations.

No pressure.

Just presence.

Ready for some Spring cleaning?! What hidden dirt/struggle is there within you? Like dirt under the stove, no one else can see it, but you know it's there. 

You don't need to always scrub harder; you might need to find the joy and let more light in!

For this episode, I went with the Fantasy Cats Oracle by Paolo Barbieri & Sasha Graham.

This one is a little different and truly special.

In this episode, you’re invited to join me in your own automatic writing practice and discover how the messages you receive align with the card pull and Ogham stick.

Set your space.

Let your pen flow.

And ask yourself:  “What message does Love have for me?”

You may be surprised by what comes through. Let’s connect, listen, and write together.
