Manifestation, Magic & When Life Gets Really Exciting!

The Nine Code of Fidelity


As I look back over 2025, I keep smiling to myself - because this year hasn’t just been magical… I’ve had the most fun yet!


Not the rushed, manic kind of fun, but the deep, soul-satisfying kind that happens when you’re aligned, trusting, and saying yes to the things that once felt just outside your comfort zone.


This was a year of becoming; and honestly I’ve loved every minute of it.



Becoming a Celebrant (and Realising Fear Was Never the Problem)


One of the most exciting expansions of my work this year has been stepping fully into my role not only as a High Priestess, but as a Celebrant, facilitating weddings - the most beautiful, bespoke weddings. Helping couples to find what it is that they desire in a ceremony, whether a hand fasting, a themed wedding, a full out Pagan ceremony or Witch ceremony, or perhaps a simple ceremony with the most beautiful vows and promises. Tying the knot however someone chooses to do it, is simply magical.

For years, public speaking carried a little fizz of fear - that’s an understatements, move a grenade going off in my body. I’d assumed it came from a lifetime in 1400s France where I was burned alive as a healer or a witch, while crowds stared on in judgement. A perfectly reasonable assumption, really and a very strong memory.


You know, hypnotherapy has a way of being wonderfully humbling. With the help of my brilliant friend and fellow hypnotherapist Ann, we uncovered the truth. It turns out being burned alive wasn’t the issue at all - apparently, I cope with that remarkably well - in fairness I probably should given as I’ve been burnt alive on more than 3 occasions.






The real imprint came from something far more relatable; and in this lifetime. As a small child in a Christmas play… forgetting my line. I remember it so vividly. The whole thing was about 3 seconds, 2 seconds of me freezing, and another second for the wonderful Mrs Wilcox to tell me the next word - and I remembered and was on my to being an actress again.


Once I saw this memory from a new perspective, the fear simply melted away. Of course I wouldn’t know if I’d truly healed until I was coming close to the wedding date.

Then came the moment of truth. A few months before the wedding I met with the couple and went through what type of wedding they desired. I loved it, creating the template for the beautiful memory.


I stood in front of a couple on their wedding day, waiting for the fear to arrive… and it just didn’t. Instead, I felt calm, grounded, joyful, in control, and completely in my element.

I loved it…. truly it was a beautiful moment.



Weddings Done Their Way (Which Is the Only Way)


Facilitating a wedding for a couple who wanted everything done their way was pure magic - and exactly as it should be.


Their vows. Their promises. Their words. Their venue. Their decorations. Their moment in time. Just perfect.


No rigid scripts. No outdated rules. No awkward traditions that didn’t resonate.

Just love — held in sacred space by a High Priestess who understands energy, intention, and how to bind beautifully.


I am so excited to now be offering:

  • Handfasting ceremonies

  • Themed weddings

  • Sacred day ceremonies

  • Deeply bespoke, soul-led unions


Each ceremony crafted with devotion, symbolism, and heart.

I cannot wait to do many, many more.




Another Huge Manifestation: The Land (Yes… That One)


Another major manifestation this year has been calling in our own land — something I’ve been working with spiritually for a long time.


Land where we can:


  • Become more self-sufficient

  • Rewild and regenerate

  • Plant trees, orchards, nut trees (if the squirrels don’t get there first)

  • Grow berries, herbs, flowers

  • Care for the bees

  • A sacred space to meet, and to teach.


Using the tools from our book The Power of Three, The Nine Code of Fidelity. I allowed my subconscious mind to knowit was already done. Through amplifying this with journalling. inner frequency work, and a little candle magic; I was able to connect with the frequency and the version of me who was already living this life.

Then… the land found us.


By “chance”.(Of course.)


Doors opened effortlessly, everything moved quickly, and within six weeks we became guardians of the most perfect piece of land. Our old boy Rufus enjoying a few laps around the fields.





You may remember me sharing about another piece of land we had our hearts set on — with a stream, an ancient forest, and far more acreage than we could ever need. When that didn’t work out, I trusted there was a reason.


There most certainly was.


I understood that I’d connected with that land to help lost souls cross over — but that something equal to, or even better, needed us.


That’s trust, is it not?


Trusting that when something falls away, it’s not loss - it’s alignment. Trusting that the Universe truly has your back. Trusting that something better is already on its way, even if you can’t see it yet.


Tractor Lessons, Faery Paths & Hawthorn Magic


Since then, I’ve been having far too much fun learning to drive a tractor, moving muck piles to the compost area, planning tree placements, and spending time simply being with the land.





On the Winter Solstice, I carried out a sacred blessing and naming ceremony. Standing on the land, I was drawn to face east — where I saw a huge glowing yellow sphere on the earth, around two to three feet wide, radiating powerful, benevolent energy.

The land is surrounded by Hawthorn, one of the sacred trees of the Druids - and deeply connected to the faery realm. Hawthorn marks thresholds between worlds. It is a guardian tree, a protector, and a bridge between the seen and unseen. Where Hawthorn grows, the veils are thin… and respect is essential.





It feels no coincidence that this land is held within Hawthorn’s embrace.

As I look south across the land, I’m reminded of the responsibility we’re stepping into:

A promise to the trees.To the animals, birds, insects, and water.To tend, protect, and listen.


What’s Growing Next (And I’m So Excited About This)


Moving forward, this land will become a living, breathing space for community, magic, and healing.


I’ll be creating:

  • A beautiful space for group hypnotherapy & meditation sessions

  • Group Sound Baths.

  • In-person classes on protection, manifestation, and energetic sovereignty

  • Opportunities to forage together, learning which herbs are best for protection, manifestation, and ritual

  • Workshops creating magical protective wreaths using flowers and foliage grown on the land

  • A pond where wildlife can thrive, flourish, and be welcomed - perhaps some scrying too.


This isn’t just about land ownership. It’s about having a relationship with the earth, that’s respectful and nurturing. The best bit is that it’s only just beginning.


If anyone has any knowledge, hints or tips about re-wilding, planting etc, please do let me know - I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Manifestation Really Can Be This Simple


Following the Nine Code of Fidelity truly works — when you follow all of it.


The Nine Codes are:


  • Align

  • Goals

  • Intention

  • Abundance

  • Forgive

  • Belief

  • Gratitude

  • Let Go

  • Receive


If I’m honest?It’s the Let Go that usually needs the most practice.


Letting go of timelines. Letting go of control.Letting go of how you think it should happen.


When you do…Manifestation becomes easy. Natural, often, surprisingly joyful.


So as you reflect on your own year, ask yourself:What have you already become - even if the physical proof is still catching up?


Trust it.Trust yourself. Let it be fun.


Join me over on Substack where I'll be doing a live video discussing all things mystical, magical, and esoteric.


With love, laughter, devotion & a little faery magic.
