Unicorn Day - 9 April  This month explores a range of mythical creatures, but the unicorn is worth pausing on. Unicorn Day on 9 April gives a good reason to single it out and look a little more closely at what it has meant over time.  In early stories, the unicorn was not soft or decorative. It appears in ancient writings and medieval bestiaries as a strong, elusive animal, often described as horse-like or deer-like, with a single horn on its forehead. This horn, known as the

Welcome to our April Issue. As the seasons turn and Aotearoa settles into the softer rhythms of autumn, this month invites us into a world of imagination with our theme of Mythical Creatures. From elusive Unicorns to the many beings that have shaped folklore across cultures, April offers a chance to explore the stories that continue to quietly influence how we see the world.

When I began doing a little research on mythical creatures, I was amazed at just how many have been spoken about across cultures and generations. Many of us have heard of unicorns, mermaids and mermen, Bigfoot, fairies, gnomes, leprechauns, the Loch Ness Monster, dragons, the phoenix, vampires, werewolves, and so many more. But the stories that stay with me most are the ones I grew up hearing. My mother often told a story from her own childhood. My Irish grandfather had a la

An interview-inspired feature with Eunice Stott, Specialist and Teacher of Psychic Arts NZ School of Psychic Arts (SoPA) What if the creatures we’ve been taught to call “mythical” were never myths at all - only misunderstood? Unicorns. Dragons. Pegasus. Fairies. Angels. Giants. Across cultures and centuries, they appear again and again - woven into stories, scriptures, and folklore. But for Eunice Stott, specialist in all things mystical, these beings are not relics of imagin

For thousands of years, earth-honouring cultures have followed the turning of the seasons through what is known as the Wheel of the Year ,  eight sacred festivals that reflect the dance between light and darkness, growth and rest, life and renewal.  This way of marking the seasons is often described as Living the Wheel .  Below is a guide to the Wheel of the Year as it unfolds in the Southern Hemisphere.   Following these seasonal turning points allows us to pause and appreci

Plant of the Sun. Of magic and fire.   Working with confidence, courage, creativity, positive self-worth, and the valuing of self. A plant whose flowers go from yellow to turning miraculously red when soaked. Literally a sunshine plant , St John’s wort brings smiles where there were none, eases burns and sunburn, and releases the fiery pain that can be held in the nervous system.Some say Joan had more to do with fire than John ever did, and call the plant St Joan’s wort.   A

Welcome to the March Issue This month we turn our attention to the timeless rhythm of the Wheel of the Year. The eight sabbats offer more than seasonal celebrations - they provide a framework for living in deeper relationship with the land, the turning seasons and our own inner cycles. When we begin to live with the wheel, something subtle starts to shift. Rather than moving through life reactively, we begin to move in rhythm with the natural cycles of growth, rest, renewal a

Welcome to March, and we are heading into the Autum Equinox, which is on March 21st, where the balance of the Light / Dark are equal.      Autumn focuses on gratitude for the harvest and releasing what is no longer serving you. There is a Wheel of the Year, and for those who may not be familiar with it - even I wasn’t fully aware of all its layers - this article focuses on the Southern Hemisphere, specifically the Winter and Summer Solstices, and the Spring and Autumn Equinox

For one moment, instead of looking at a calendar to check the date for the next seasonal festival or solstice, meditate and go within.     Can you “hear” guidance? Do you have a “knowing” of what is being asked of you in relation to the Earth and Mother Nature? If your answer is yes, you are being called to assist the Earth Mother. Your necessary role in creating or participating in seasonal festivals, equinoxes and solstices is crucial because your life-force enhances the in

When I look at the plants and what energies they indicate for our year ahead, they show a lot of letting go, particularly of all types of resistance. I will go into more detail below.   The wild privet plant has much wisdom and healing around release and embracing love. The medicine of PRIVET is good to understand right now!   The plant is very much supportive of this year’s energy cycle, our learning and healing for us as human beings.   The teachings and energy of wild Priv

Many will celebrate Valentines Day on February 14th in some way shape or form.   Love is set to take on new meaning in 2026, with the stars pointing toward deeper emotional honesty, stronger connections, and relationships that are built to last.   Astrologers suggest this year will be less about fleeting romance and more about transformation — healing old patterns, opening up to vulnerability, and redefining what partnership really means. Whether you’re single, dating, or in

Thank you — a special message for the New Year and New Beginnings.  It is time to let go of the past — release and let go of all the things that are no longer serving you.  Many are experiencing emotions which fluctuate between despair, sadness, despondency, fear, unhappiness, feeling alone, and unloved.  These emotions are surfacing to be released.  To move forward into the New Year — New Beginnings — it is important to let go of old emotions and feelings. They are no longer

Ngaio is a plant, a small tree that grows by the ocean in New Zealand Aotearoa . The tree began flowering in many parts of the country a couple of months ago.

Your Higher Self at the behest of your Soul communicates guidance to you.    These messages are designed to pro
