Once upon a time, not too long ago in the autumn of 2016, I felt like my life was… well, pretty grey and and shitty and rock bottomy, to be honest. I’d broken up with the man I had thought was the love of my life, and was living in my mum’s tiny spare bedroom in a small town in the middle of nowhere, no car, no money, no-where near my friends, and utterly heart broken.

I’m sure it’s a story many of you have lived. There are few things that shake us as deeply as heartbreak.

With the help of some careful energetic Venus Witchery, I came out of that shit year into 2017, the most fun year I have ever had. It started with a girls month in the dance capital of Brazil, and ended with me running a burlesque New Years night with ALL my favourite people and best friends and family there, and along the way it gave me love, romance, hot sex, international travel and career dreams coming true left right and centre.

And I know this because in the UK it’s just been Tax Return season, so I’m doing my taxes and going over my receipts thinkin’, “oh yeah, that Uber reciept is from when I was in Lisbon… oh yeah I was in that Wetherspoons because I was being a flower dancer with my besties for a week… Why do I have repeat train fares here? Oh yeah, that’s our trip to the airport for our romantic Rome adventure…”

Holy CRAP 2017 was so much fun. Best year ever. 

And I have come to the end of 2018, which has been an incredible year in so many ways – doing Priestess Training in Glastonbury, running a Morgan le Fay retreat, creating two new courses, starting Morgan le Fay Mystery school, moving out of professional mermaiding and into my dream job of full time priestessing (!!!)….

… but even though it’s been full of amazing progress, it’s been a year of working and studying hard and not so much about fun and pleasure. I worked so hard, and did not party nearly enough.

Where did those 2017 vibes go?

I attribute 2017 to my work with Venus. See, in November 2016, feeling thirsty for joy after months of tears, I started to work with Venus energy every damn day. It was so fun. I’d dance for her, wear perfume for her, dedicate my lipstick to her, leave her offerings – I was devoted.

And after pulling that energy into my life, it began to attract joyful opportunities into my life. Things I was struggling for became easy. I magnetised love and opportunities to me through embodying the lessons of Venus.

Right now, in my life, I want that tasty Venus Juice again. I feel like I have worked so hard I have forgotten how to practice her core arts – the arts of pleasure, beauty, appreciation and ease.

I turned all hard in 2018, and it’s time to soften like a rose again.
