Here we are almost at the Winter Solstice and I am putting the finishing touches to the Winter Talisman retreat journal. I feel like I'm painting a picture for you as I write it. It feels a little bit magical.

So many of you told me you’d love to take part.

It’s quite simple to do. I will send you the journal here on Substack via email on the 26th of December. You can download it and follow the magical 12 Omen days with my guidance.

I’d like to say thank you to the women who have offered to be part of the retreat journal.

So many of you told me you’ll be doing the winter talisman offline and not commenting on the post.

However, I will respond to comments and questions when I can as a way of making it a little interactive over the 12 days.

Remember this is FREE and a gift to all subscribers.

The people who enjoy my work here and kindly support the Moon Shed by becoming a paid subscriber are usually women in midlife.

I have found over the last few years that this life transition brings out a strong need for introspection and magic more than ever before. The wise woman archetype takes hold. The wild woman wants to express herself.

This is exactly why I write here in the Moon Shed and decided to create the omen days journal, for women like me to honour the call to life’s magic and make space for it perhaps even for the first time in life.

Paid membership here is definitely aimed at women in this phase of life. My emphasis is on holding space for introspection, self awareness, kindness and creativity through tarot, journalling, a splash of astrology and a smidgeon of aromatherapy too.

Next year I will be increasing my annual and monthly fee for new subscribers as I have built up a good library of resources now to inspire your tarot and contemplative work.

If you would like to join before prices increase, you get a whole year for £35.

Today I have placed a paywall on my post. Fridays are usually when my paid subscribers receive a collective reading.

With Christmas approaching I am sending two emails in one as a way to look after myself. Thank you for your understanding on this.

To my paid subscribers I hope you enjoy your winter solstice reading and three card tarot spread to help you sink into the pause.

With good cheer this winter solstice eve
