THE GREAT ESCAPE ✌️ When I started this #ayearofmysticalthinking project in January 2018, I had this vision of becoming the kind of person who’d mindfully craft a Yule log out of greenery foraged in a local woodland around this time of year🎄... I still have the boxes I bought last year for the chocolate dipped orange peel I was going to make with the kids 🍊(but, well, didn’t)...Just a few weeks ago I had high hopes that I could pull off a magical solstice celebration with roasted chestnuts and mulled beverages and wholesome outdoor cheer... but, erm, let’s just say I’m not sure it’s going to happen (maybe next year 😂)... Instead I’m at my desk, typing furiously and dreaming of a trip down an open road somewhere that hasn’t yet invented the jolly jam jar (if you know, you know 🤪)... ✈️ BUT what I can honestly say is that despite the deadlines and the carol concerts and the shopping lists and the unwritten cards (there’s still time!) and the hunting down of Christmas jumpers, I’m calmer and happier than I’ve ever been at this time of year (and I speak as someone who’s managed to lose a phone and break a laptop in the last 10 days 😬)... So if you’re feeling overwhelmed right now I totally understand. To Do lists in overdrive, plates a-spinning... it sounds counter intuitive but if you can manage to take even a tiny bit of time out to breathe deeply, do some yoga or go for a walk somewhere frosty and beautiful I promise it will help... maybe you can forage me some greenery while you’re out there... 🍃 . . . 📸 @risingwoman #mysticalthinking #thegreatescape #christmaschaos #mindfulchristmas #theuniversehasyourback #solstice #yuletide #naturalchristmas #wintervibes

Lost phone, broken MacBook... long social media hiatus... How are you all? Off to see a man about a screen... it’s not even mercury retrograde?! . . . 📸 @clare_pooley #ayearofmysticalthinking #mysticalthinking #leanintothecrack #bjork

NEW MOON 🌑 IN SAGITTARIUS ♐️ Intentions set and wishes made... ✨ . . . #ayearofmysticalthinking #mysticalthinking #newmoon #newmooninsagittarius #moonsplaining #lunarlover #risesisterrise #theuniversehasyourback #intuition #innerknowing #soulseeker

GATHERING ✨ So... last night’s moon meditation @theyogahousetwells was pretty special 💫 Doesn’t happen every single time but sometimes there’s a goosebump worthy collective experience (despite each person being on their own journey in their own world) 💫 Love it when it happens like that and last night was a good one... A seriously magical group of people and meditations full of earth star energy and nature and green light and animal guides and family intentions 🌳 I’ll probably write more about it later but for now just wanted to say WOW... there really is so much power in pressing pause, tuning in to your own intuition and trusting what you find there✌️ . . . 📸 @spiritweavers (still manifesting a trip here universe ✨) #ayearofmysticalthinking #mysticalthinking #newmoonmeditation #donthatemeditate #gathering #collective #theuniversehasyourback #risesisterrise

YEP 👍 It’s only with the benefit of hindsight that so many things make sense ✨ The house move you didn’t really want to make that led you to the situation you didn’t want to be in with the people you didn’t understand... That led to the trying times you couldn’t quite handle and the year it all went wrong... That led to the most inspiring and interesting time of your life that lit up a path you’d forgotten existed that twisted and turned into something more magical than you could have imagined...✨ I could go on but I have horoscopes to write and a deadline to meet... But if you’re interested in my journey through the underworld and how I got out alive (overly dramatic 😂 but, you know, #poeticlicence ✨) I’ll be writing more about it over the next few weeks as I finally (after about a million false starts and mind changes) finish my book proposal for #ayearofmysticalthinking ✌️ I’ll be starting a #aboutmysticalthinking tag to share my story and tips aplenty on how I think anyone can find their way to inner peace (with minimal time, cash and pilgrimages to far flung spiritual destinations required)... Let’s do this! . . . 📸 @crystalcanyonretreats #mysticalthinking #sagittariusseason #mysticalminds #risesisterrise #writersgonnawrite #spiritualwriting #itsamysticalworld #youcantalwaysgetwhatyouwant #youmightgetwhatyouneed #manifestation #intentionsetting #moonphases #magick #witchesofinstagram

AUTUMN 🍂 Perfectly crisp and frosty this morning... the kind of autumn morning I’d have ideally been banging on about for weeks 🍁But the autumn vibes have mostly been lost in translation this year (all the 🌧... plus a small pool of water in the footwell of my leaky Citroen)... 😱 So, anyway...I’m super grateful for a glimpse of autumn magic right now✨🌞❄️✨🌞Also super grateful to stumble upon this magical image (by Anastasiya Dobrovolskaya via @merkababox 👌)... a witchy Wilson Phillips (@frankandfaber I fear you might be the only person following me who gets this reference) on the prowl with their daemons 🦊🍂✌️ . . . #ayearofmysticalthinking #mysticalthinking #autumnvibes #daemons #hisdarkmaterials #wilsonphillips #witchesofinstagram #instawitch #holdon #somedaysomebody
