Dear ones -

The full moon from a few days ago is known in Scotland and Irish Gaelic as the Wolf Moon - the days are getting longer, but there’s still a lot of winter left. Lean days. Hungry days. Wild days.

This far north, I can really see how much longer the evenings are getting already. A quick change in weather had all the snow where I was disappear overnight. We’re a few weeks away from the beginning of February and what’s known in the Gaelic speaking countries as Imbolc or Imbolg - meaning “in the belly”. It’s the time of quickening - the hint of Spring to come. Birth is still a ways away, but we’re starting to feel movement.

I’m noticing how much my body is responding to that subtle shift in the seasons. I’m feeling a little more energy for tasks and projects. There’s a sense of urgency to my preparations for the year. Yet, I’m also still craving the rest of winter. I didn’t get to take as much of that as I would’ve liked in the lead up to the solstice and right after; and I’m super aware of my fear of missing the moment, missing my chance to rest up.

The wheel turns.

We seem to function best and burn out less when we’re aligned with it.

So if you, like me, suspect you need more rest before the seasons shift, you might like this most recent podcast episode.

Bring a timer with you - you’ll set it and I’ll guide you into rest. (No - watching TV and scrolling social media aren’t rest).

Meanwhile, I’ll keep this email as to the point as possible.

FINAL CALL: There’s just about 24hrs left to purchase your Insight 2025 tarot reading, so if you want in on that, this is your moment. You can get your theme for the year… and/ or join now and get a card drawn for you at the beginning of each month of the year - an amazing way to stay in listening mode and bring more ritual into your life.

And as this offering wraps for the year, I also wanted to say thank you. This is my third year offering these readings and it’s been the best one yet. So thank you to all of you who trusted me and got a reading. And an extra special thank you to those of you who purchased readings as gifts to give to others or shared your reading with friends and family (which in several cases lend to more readings). Word of mouth is always the most effective way small businesses grow and thrive and I don’t take it lightly or for granted when what you receive is meaningful enough you use some of your precious time-energy-money to spread the love. I may be the guide and steward of this business, but it literally couldn't exist without you. A bow from my heart to yours.

Finally, OracleFest is happening in a few short weeks (Jan 31-Feb 2) and the speaker schedule has just gone up. (There was a scheduling snafu at the beginning and my time and date have been changed from what’s currently on the website so I’m not presenting in the middle of the night UK time).

If you’re interested in an online festival with speakers, purveyors of mystical tools, social opportunities to connect around mystical topics, and other resources - feel free to check it out. It would be great to have you there if you feel called. You can use my affiliate link (which sends a portion of your registration my way); or just head to their website with no connection to me.

with Love,

Kate
