"One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.” 

~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes

♥️👑THIS IS MY KING👑♥️

Living our medicine requires the same as us as it requires for us in relationship - full, true, vulnerable expression. To be our gift requires us to be open, honest and courageous. To have the devotion to unite with our souls. 

Because 'like cures like' - and for people to be able to see us as the medicine, they need to be able to feel our hearts and see our own alchemy. 

Living from full expression of soul requires Naja

✨🍄TRUSTING OUR MEDICINE GUIDES🍄✨

I'm feeling the enormity of my vision at the moment and yet, I've shifted - in my choice to own my power - from a sense of shadowy overwhelm (because, let's be honest, I've got soooo much to tell you about my modality and how it works) into a sense of pure excitement. 

“So we can chase all the gifts we like, chalk up all the experience in the world of new skills, but it's invoking + living our MEDICINA that makes the deepest healing impact on Earth. “

🌹⚡DISCOVERING OUR GIFTS VS OUR MEDICINA⚡🌹

Something I've come to see in the last few years is that there's a huge difference between knowing our GIFTS and knowing our MEDICINA. 

Mostly, until I discovered the path of soul descent, I had been searching very hard, externally, for my GIFTS.

"People are silently begging to be led." Jay Abraham

I was reminded of this quote the other day and it made me laugh as my experience has not always been that of wanting to be led. And neither is this true of my women at times, when they are in their Leader Wound.

“Love is the missing alchemist in much of today's personal development world. And it's the KEY ingredient in REAL MAGIC + shadow work. When we see that our patterns are unconsciously - innocently - being created from some story of our little wounded girl, only then can we choose to soften and see what's really there. ”

🪄🖤 THROW AWAY THAT SELF SABOTAGE BEATY-STICK 🖤🪄

Let's cut through the social feed and get really - lovingly - honest for a moment.

One of the major reasons powerful women have big visions - to create freedom via businesses from their gifts - and yet they continue to PLAY SMALL (despite knowing that they are here for more) is that they self-sabotage.

“In my lack of defenses and curiousity about what this triggered for him - magic occured.”

⚡🖤"CAREFUL, YOU'RE BECOMING A NARCISSIST" 🖤⚡

I received this message in my inbox last night, from a man I once knew.

If you know my teachings about Feminine power, you'll know that I teach from a lineage with a deep reverence for the Masculine - I'm open to recieving the Masculine's provisions, rather than rebelling against them - and I see Men as Kings. 👑

“As we more deeply devote to our Feminine soul, and expand into love, and though the challenges become greater, it does actually become more easeful if we choose it that way.”

~ Nicole Barton

🌹⚡"MY GIFTS FEEL TOO BIG FOR ME" ⚡🌹

I remember the first really BIG time that my little girl kicked off and melted down about me fully choosing to step into my gifts to create a legitimate business from them.

The first time my 'hobby' business - my spiritual gifts - became professional, serious, a real thing that I chose consciously to OWN that way.

“Outside of the lens I teach, it can really looks like there's an EITHER/OR. You're either Magical or you are Human.”

~ Nicole Barton

✨🧙‍♀️ THE TUG OF WAR BETWEEN MUGGLE VS MAGIC 🧙‍♀️✨

I have been speaking a LOT to common issues of perfectionism, burn out and imposter syndrome recently. And I'll be honest, that's because us spiritual leaders can really struggle with these things on a daily basis.

We are HUMAN.

“Your over reliance on logic and linearity is what has had you burn out in your professional career - and had you open your heart to spirituality and magic in the first place.”

~ Nicole Barton

✨🧪 "I WANT SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE" 🧪✨

One of the biggest blocks that magical women hit up against when wanting to more deeply own her Spiritual gifts and create a legitimate professional business from them is their own BRILLIANCE.

By that, I'm referring to the intelligent parts of them that have learned to over-rely on logic and the linear structures of society.

⚡🖤 INTEGRATING THE "AM I ENOUGH?" ⚡🖤

Our healing is never complete.

I share this because I know, firstly, that some women can put me on a pedestal thinking that I have already "done the work" and assume I am "healed" - when the reality is, our healing lasts a lifetime, because our core wounds are those we've been called to work with this time around.

“You can BECOME the Feminine healing leader (Feminine Witch Queen) you were BORN to be.”

- Nicole Barton

Archetypal Apothecary™  is a mystery school for aspiring heart-led Feminine healing leaders.

It helps you stop taking the easy option, suffering imposter syndrome, procrastinating and distracting, fearing your success.

And instead get clarity on your gifts, and heal and integrate the real blocks, that stop you from serving your gifts from integrity in a legitimate business - reclaiming your wild Feminine power, using your voice and magic.

“The Mother Archetype is not to be played with - she deserves real reverence, truth and respect.”

- Nicole Barton

✨💃 INTEGRATING THE MOTHER AUTHENTICALLY 💃 ✨

Some of the Archetypal Remedies that I transmit in this path are those that activate and heal the energy of the Mother. They are called the "Matridonals." And I see that, often, my women were born here to work with the Mother energy in one way or another.

“'True vulnerability has us reach the hearts of those who need to feel our authenticity and have it activate them in all the right places (even though that is hard).”

❤️🌹CAN YOU FEEL MY HEART? 🌹❤️

TRUTH TIME: People don't always feel my heart. 💔

Last year I heard some cold hard truths (and hit up against some of my deepest fears) that I've been alchemising - in which much gold has been reclaimed. But it had been *hardcore* lessons.

Firstly, I hit up against what felt like a deep rejection by my sisters in a circle I was part of - where I fully expressed myself and I wasn't received as loving by everyone (and felt I wasn't met with love at the time, because I was in closure).

“The woman who is here to work with her 'inner witch' is here to experience the darkness of being a human fully in form, and she's here to play there, making gold from it - because she's a manifestor here on earth.”

10 Signs You Were Born a Witch

1. YOU WERE BORN FOR MORE - and you long to be in your Feminine power

2. YOU HAVE SPIRITUAL GIFTS - and you know you were born to be a healer - even if you don’t know what your gifts are

3. YOU CAN MANIFEST LIKE A PRO - and because of that, you secretly fear your success more than your failure: what would it require of you?

 🔥⚡ SUCCESS = BURN OUT? TRUE OR FALSE? ⚡🔥

Oh woman, is this one thing I wish I had known when I began creating my healing spiritual business?! Yes it is. ⚡

Firstly, I ended up quitting corporate (well over a decade ago now!) because I went up in flames and burned out - so you can trust me that I know this one WELL.

And for almost a decade I played life SMALL because I was scared of being fully in my power and fully in my possibility for true 'success' and abundance.

 🖤🌟AUTHENTIC OR PERFECT: IS YOUR 'PERFECTION BLOCK' STOPPING YOU BEING REAL? 🌟🖤

One of the things my women often really struggle with - particularly in that time of transition into creating their own spiritual healing business - is being a perfectionist. And, oh my, do I know this one well as it's one I've worked with deeply.

“Your gifts are hidden in your Feminine body - and that means they are hiding in your WOUNDS.”

⚡💃 FEMININE WITCHES: IF YOU'RE NOT DEVOTED TO HEALING YOUR WOUNDS, YOUR GIFTS WILL STAY HIDDEN ⚡💃 [Part 3 of 4]

The truth of what it *requires* of you to create from your Feminine in your spiritual healing business is that it's an initiation firmly into creating a business fully, unconditionally from pure DEVOTION to your heart.

What no one tells you is that this won't always *feel* good (even when it's aligned) - because it will ask you to leave the world of the known and instead venture into the messy spiral of the unknown.

“The deep work is to find and LOVE the parts of you that FEAR SUCCESS, over and over, as you tend your nervous system enough to CHOOSE to discover and take action that's aligned.”

FEMININE WITCHES - IS YOUR SHADOW DISTRACTING YOU TO NOT TAKE ACTION IN YOUR SOUL BIZ? 🖤⚡

The secret thing you don't want to admit as an aspiring Feminine spiritual leader is that you KNOW it is *you* that is really getting in the way of serving your spiritual gifts as a healer.

Your commitment to not hustling (see my last post) doesn't mean that you should sit around taking no action at all (oh hello there, other end of the Feminine shadow pole 💃🖤).
