This is fascinating, Jen. I live in Spain for 20+ years and last week I saw my first snake! A Montpellier with a neon green stripe on its flank. I froze and it slithered into the undergrowth …. Felt a little prophetic… am going to do this ritual this week ☘️
Wow Sasha what an phenomenal synchronicity! I wonder what the ritual will reveal to you... perhaps the snake will come into your dreaming too. Thanks a million for sharing, I love this! 🐍
Hi Jen, some advice please, I did widdershins after I saw that snake and no joke discovered a sexual predator on my roof, some guy who has been climbing the back wall to jerk off either on my roof or above on the cinema roof behind my house … it’s been going on for weeks, police can’t find him but I now know exactly where he is … my nerves are shot but can’t help wondering if this is random or fate … did I open some portal that’s pushing me to take action?? Have you heard of anything like this before? Is there a spell I can use for home protection? I recall reading something in Druid Magic…
Hi Sasha, firstly I'm so sorry to hear about what your experiencing that is horrific and even worse the police haven't helped. Please don't worry that you have done anything wrong - the ritual is designed as a creative meditative practice like walking a labyrinth to invite wisdom that's within you to be revealed from the unconscious, from the soul to arise. The idea of cursing in Irish folk tradition is done with the resolut intention to curse so there's no opening portals with this ritual. I wonder if as a reframe to help, if the snake could be a feminine symbol of strength for demanding that the police support you. I'm so sorry again to hear what you're experiencing, it is disgusting and horrendous what that man is doing. May you get the support you need today, sending heart to you Sasha❤️
Believe me I’m be very annoying with them, as annoying as the dude on my roof! Thanks for reassurance! I will say my creativity is off the charts at the moment! Something about all this feels like fate …. Thank you!
It's actually filling me with feminine snake rage and making me boil at this man reading your words this morning - what women have to endure is outrageous!! I'm so sorry again Sasha! Both the spiral and the snake are pheneomenal creative allies so it's wonderful to hear your creativity is off the charts. And perhaps tapping even more into the creative power of the serpent will help with this getting resolved. I'll be holding you in my heart x
This brings a tear to my eye, I have genuinely been trying to change my concept of snakes in recent months so I really like the idea of drawing on snake energy…. I will also say I have lived in this house for almost 20 years, never had anything like this, it’s not normal!!!! I’m with a builder right now and he’s going to put up reams of barbed wire, I will not stop till this is sorted…. This literal wanker is a coward, he knows he’d have zero chance on a level playing field! Thank you, your words mean a lot!!!! ❤️
I can feel your energy and your power in your words Sasha! The Irish word neart keeps coming like strength is rising. Thank you for sharing a chara and for your courage! ❤️
guess what! I did a Druid ritual last night and later, when I went to bed while the wanker was going full tilt he revealed himself to me! and I know who it is!!! Now, how to deal with the little twat mwhaha …
Jen, I’ve been off-line for most of the last month and so I’m just catching up here. This post arrives perfectly on time for me in so many ways …
I believe that I’ve mentioned my friend who is from Iran, and her husband is from Mexico she just sent me this picture yesterday… He has building this outside their home in Ontario right now!! oh I’m not sure if I can post a picture.. let me try
Thank you so much dearest Jen for the depth of wisdom and magic in this card and in your sharing. As @Sasha Kerry Smith said in her comment, this too feels "a little prophetic" for me. My July omen (which I would have received on 1st Jan 2026) in the year long omen days practice is "Temple of Dreams" and I am also on Day 13 of a ritual practice of walking my own spiral of the figure of 8! So much of what you shared resonates, affirms and also opens up more possibility in me, so thankyou with all my heart and soul. I also can feel the layers of potency in you allowing the card to shapeshift and reveal itself to you more and more between February and July. What a gift. Thank you again.
Oh my goddess Nadine so much Otherworld-Underworld intelligence emerging for you here & the ritual came from that stone dream I had married with the infinity walk you shared with me so it's all fite fuaite! 😍
As always, your timing for me is perfect. I am starting my descent deeper into my practice with Brigid and serpent energy, and the path of the Left calls brightly.
Wowzers!! This card is so deep and rich and powerful! Thank you for the time and receptivity you offered this message to come through. And the ritual invitation... wow, can't wait to set aside time for this. So potent. I visited Newgrange back in 2018 soon after I had gotten a tattoo of the triple spiral (to honor some deaths and rebirths in my life), and reading this I am buzzing with more amplification!
Oh I love this Jennifer, thanks a million for sharing. I actually think one of the best feelings is when we do something like getting your beautiful tattoo, which is incredibly meaningful, and then more reveals itself later. It's like our soul already knows before the timelines of the all catch-up. The symbol keeps on giving to us. It's magic!
The past months, I've been drawing the transformation cards quite a lot when working with my oracle or tarot decks. Up to a point where I was getting a little annoyed. "Universe, I know you want me to transform! But does it really always have to be thàt card? I mean, there's so many others too..." Hahaha, but the spiral ritual finally - finally! - brought clarity. I used a rock I found at a magical place in Denmark and it just all made sense. I felt very close to my ancestors, I could almost touch them... It was transforming ❤️ Thank you for sharing your beautiful spiral card and ritual 🍀
This is such a joy to read Anneke! It's so beautiful to learn about the rock you used from the magical place in Denmark and feeling you could almost touch your ancestors. I had a dream before I created this ritual about how working with stones required blowing intention into them first and I'm reminded of this reading about your talisman stone. Thanks a million for sharing! 💚
So good to have such rich information about a few of the things that often speak to me on some level - stones, spirals, and snakes! I need to read this again, and again.
Ursula Le Guin is an extraordinary writer & what she did with her Earthsea series, the way you write, speaks to me of where she went in her writing.
Particularly:
“But what if, as the spiral at Newgrange indicates, it symbolises a movement down into the unconscious? The islands of the Celtic Otherworld are said to lie in the widdershins direction, to the left, the west, the setting of the sun. This is the hidden realm of the divine, of the ancestors, of soul magic. A place deep within us that we desperately long for and are afraid of because it exists beyond what we’ve been taught is rational, and no one wants to be perceived as mad.”
And then on a personal note / yes, none of us ever want ti be “perceived of as mad” until we realise that it’s all so deceptive… what is mad, are the systems..: the laws & rules that make no sense, I mean really from the school years. & that that which we fear - to trust what we know to be true, or to look at what is shadowy… to face what feels scary… god, the self knowing that comes. And with it, great joy.
May we all have e greater courage in embracing the spiral dynamic!
Thanks a million for your rich reflections Laura, it's such a gift to simmer in them. And YES the realisation of what is actually mad is the great elucidation. Hear hear, may we all have greater courage in embracing the spiral dynamic! ꩜

Oh wow, I'm so glad he has been found out Sasha and he can no longer hide his hideous behaviour!

Oooohhh I love this Kat - walking the path of the Left with Brigid and the serpent energy! I hope it brings you many soul treasures. 🐍

Absolutely - it's such a beautiful experience to have more revealed and know in some way that our soul was aware of it all along!
I love to see how a new oracle card summons itself into being. Well met, serpent.
Thanks a million Geoffrey and me too, it's a wonder really!

I remember that phenomenal snake you created in the Symbol Well ritual Shelley, it was like it could move off the page! 🐍

And oh, how u wish I spoke the Celtic languages!
Thanks a million for your rich reflections Laura, it's such a gift to simmer in them. And YES the realisation of what is actually mad is the great elucidation. Hear hear, may we all have greater courage in embracing the spiral dynamic! ꩜
Hi Jen, not sure i can post a link here, but if i can, this is the story that came out of my widdershins practice, quite the story, forced me to confront some snakes in my head!! https://jointphilosophy.substack.com/p/dancing-both-edges-of-the-night
