I thrive in sovereignty ~ creating seasons in cyberspace 🌱
Balancing business, life and social media
It’s the first full moon of the year, and I’ve been gently tuning into what I want to share with you… I’ve been taking my time, wintering this January, filling my cup with trips to the ocean and the mountains, and as Imbolc approaches with the first stirrings of spring, I know that things in my business will begin to bud, grow and thrive with the coming change in season.
Since moving to Glastonbury, where as a community we follow the Wheel of the Year, it’s much easier for me to drop into the magic of nature and to trust the seasons of self with a stronger sense of sovereignty. It’s not always been this way; self-employed since I was 28 years young, marking 16 spins for my business around the sun! In that time learning many, many lessons… One of the most important things has been to trust the ebb and flow, the nature of my business, creating it’s own seasons, so that I have time to rest and renew.
Did you read the guided visualisation I shared at the New Moon? It’s a good one to do for your business and worklife/career too…
It is SO easy to compare ourselves to what other people are doing, that feeling of FOMO we get from social media, especially in the frenzy of ‘New Year, New You’ we get online in January with everyone telling us what ‘success’ is both online, in business and life! But I feel like we are beginning to wise up to this… and how we are constantly being distracted by others opinions and actions, often on purpose!
If we REALLY listen to ourselves, if we take time to slow down, go within and listen to the rhythms and cycles of ourselves, of our needs, and trust in our own timing, our own magic ✨
If we get super sovereign with ourselves…
What would the message from within us be?
Caroline Glazebrook, from The Chalice Well in Glastonbury where we honour the Wheel of the Year, shared on Facebook about this Full Wolf Moon in Leo 🌕 that it brings with it with it the strength and intuition of the Lion and the Wolf…
“So with this luminous full moon, please take time for yourself and bring your attention to your own Wolf and Lion qualities, the light that you shine, the love in your heart, and your unique noble sovereignty. May the light of this Wolf moon in Leo reflect your own inner strength, wisdom, trust in your intuition, joyful playfulness, and love for all that you are.”
I love this! Bringing it all with us as we move into this next cycle… Alongside this 🌝 we also have the energy of a recent, large, and long-lasting astrological shift from Pluto into Aquarius, which people are saying is a much deeper move into the much prophesied Age of Aquarius, which I understand to have key themes of transformation, technology, and revolution… 👀
Which makes me want to share with you a poem I wrote a couple of years ago called ‘The Sovereign Cyberspace Freeway’. It’s a poem I’m really proud of; they often come through like a channeling from a spirit guide sat on my shoulder. I’ve been writing and reading poems since I was a kid and used to have the alphabet always scribbled in the back of my notebooks so I could rhyme things :)
Now I like to use them in my work as a creative outlet, but also because poems have a special way of connecting to ideas and feelings. This particular poem often wants to be shared in my workshops, as one that lands somewhere in the subconscious, as a transmission of sorts.
“TS Eliot said that; ‘Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.’ What Eliot is saying here is that poems have a way of making us feel something before we fully understand why or how it makes us feel this way.”
The Sovereign Cyberspace Freeway
Our social media ego,
Is in a virtual-reality game-show,
That we tap into and play every day.
So every time you feel sad,
A bit frustrated or mad,
Remember it’s designed this way.
Produced by AI,
The ultimate spy,
Who captures your thoughts night and day.
Living some-what like Truman,
Is what it’s become to be human,
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Connect to your soul,
Beam light to the whole,
Send love to each other and pray.
When we do this en masse,
We create a quantum bypass,
The Sovereign Cyberspace Freeway.
It is something for you to read or listen to as I’ve recorded an audio to accompany it, which you can find at the top of the article.
I wonder what it is communicating to you?
Get yourself into Digital Mystic Mode (think Thundercats HOOO!) and spend some time feeling into this and how it might transform your thinking about the digital space for you.
What does it mean to you to be sovereign online? 🦄🧙🏻♀️🔑
What does it mean to you to create your own seasons / cycles in cyberspace? 🦄🧙🏻♀️🔑

There is much work to be done, undoing patriarchal, capitalist programming both from society, culture and Big Tech within my own being is no small feat.
It takes constant practice, remembering and realignment.
My wish is for this to be an antidote as we continue to practice not to falling back into a trap of comparing ourselves to what others are doing online, trusting the commitment and connection of sharing our light, on our terms, in the places, spaces and at a pace we choose too.
Trusting in our sovereignty and our seasons.
