The Science Behind Intuition: Why Your Inner Knowing Isn’t “Just a Feeling"...

Good morning, beautiful souls. Here is a link to a blog I have written about intuition...

https://www.ivyselenewrites.co.uk/3249689_the-science-behind-intuition-why-your-inner-knowing-isn-t-just-a-feeling

Intuition is often dismissed as a soft, whimsical thing — a flutter, a hunch, a whisper. But intuition is one of the most sophisticated systems your body has. It’s ancient, intelligent, and backed by real science. Your intuition is not random. It’s not imaginary. It’s not “woo‑woo nonsen...

🔮✨ Saturday Soul Circle Vibes ✨🔮

Planet: Saturn
Energy: Boundaries, protection, grounding, “I’m done with everyone’s nonsense”
Vibe: Witchy, spiritual, sassy, and absolutely tool‑optional

Alright my beautiful souls, gather round the cauldron - or, you know…the kitchen table, the bedside cabinet, the windowsill, or that one shelf you keep meaning to tidy.

Because it’s Saturday, and Saturn is clocking in with clipboard energy like:
“Okay babe…what are we releasing today, and who needs to be energetically escorted out?”

Saturday is the day of boundaries, banishing, cleansing, and getting your life together in the most magical way possible.

And guess what?
✨ You do NOT need a fancy altar to do it.
✨ You do NOT need £80 candles.
✨ You do NOT need a wand carved from the thigh bone of a unicorn.
You are the altar.
Your intention is the spell.
Your energy is the tool.

Saturn doesn’t care what’s on your shelf — it cares what’s in your spirit.

🌑 Daily Affirmation
“My energy is sacred, my boundaries are powerful, and I release anything that drains my magic.”

Say it with your whole chest. Saturn loves confidence.

🔮 Simple Saturday Ritual — No Tools, No Fuss, Maximum Power
This one is pure Soul Circle simplicity:

Sit down somewhere quiet.
Put your hand on your chest or your belly - wherever your energy feels loudest today.
Take a deep breath in.
On the exhale, say:
“I release what is not mine to carry.”

Imagine the weight sliding off you like a cloak you’re done wearing.
Stand up, shake your shoulders, and walk away like the empowered witch you are.
That’s it.
No props.
No ingredients.
No moon‑blessed, ethically sourced, dragon‑approved nonsense.
Just you, your breath, and your intention - which is the strongest magic you’ll ever hold.

✨ Soul Circle Closing Note
Saturday is your reminder that you don’t need to look witchy to be witchy.
Your power isn’t in your tools - it’s in your choices.
Your boundaries.
Your energy.
Your “nope, not today” voice.

And honestly?
Saturn is applauding you from the astral plane.

FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS: SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE

Thought I'd share a card with you all today. I hope this reaches whoever needs to read it...

At this point, your best bet is to be the bigger person in whatever situation is on your mind. If harsh words have been exchanged, this card comes with a gentle suggestion to diffuse the upset with some humour. When this card appears, for you, your world is your oyster, but you need to find a balance between where you are and where you want to be. It may be that you need to do some more research before you move closer to whatever it is you want. When you're manifesting, the journey of discovery can be as empowering as dreaming the big dream.

Manifesting balance: Find a balance between saying what needs to be said and saying it.

Manifesting mindset: One thing is for sure - having an open mind will serve you well now. Talk to people about your issues and get a view of the bigger picture.

A manifesting ritual for increasing your luck:

Add sandalwood essential oil to your diffuser, or burn a sandalwood incense stick

Sit comfortably and close your eyes

Call in Fortuna, also known as Lady Luck, and ask her to be on your side when you spin the wheel of fate or fortune

Repeat the affirmation below to strengthen your connection with Fortuna and manifest your good luck into being!

Your manifestation affirmation:

"I know that I am blessed and I love my life within that knowing."

When to manifest your magic:

The best time to work your magic is when the Moon is in Sagittarius, on a Thursday (Jupiter's Day) or during Jupiter's hour.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius takes place when the Sun is in Gemini and the Moon is in Sagittarius.

Jupiter's hours on Thursday 28th May...

Daytime Jupiter Hours:
Early Morning: 05:00 – 06:17
Mid-Afternoon: 13:03 – 14:22
Nighttime Jupiter Hour:
Late Night: 21:35 – 22:30

I don't quite understand how to calculate planetary hours (I'm still learning!), but you can ask Google to calculate it for you.

POV: your ancestors are the chaotic Jedi Council in your head ✨🛸

May the fourth be with you...and also with your nan, your great aunt, and that one ancestor who absolutely would’ve been banned from the village WhatsApp 👀✨

Because spirituality isn’t always soft music and glowing auras…sometimes it’s you sitting there with a candle, trying to feel all zen, while your ancestors are in the background like a chaotic Jedi Council:

“Trust your intuition.”

“Stop texting them.”

“Drink some water.”

“Also, we saw that. Don’t do it again.”

The universe is basically one big cosmic Force, flowing through everything - the stars, the moon, your dodgy decisions, all of it. And your ancestors? They’re part of that current. Walking with you, guiding you, occasionally giving you a spiritual nudge (or a full-on shove) when you’re drifting off your path.

You might not see them, but you’ll feel them - in those gut instincts, those little signs, that random knowing that comes out of nowhere like, “Nope, not today, Satan.”

So today, embrace your inner Jedi Witch:

✨ Light your candle like it’s your lightsaber

✨ Set your intentions like you’re restoring balance to the galaxy

✨ And remember…your ancestors are right there with you, probably having a little gossip and a giggle along the way

You’re not just making your way through life - you’re part of something ancient, powerful, and a tiny bit chaotic.

The Force?

Oh babe… that’s ancestral magic 💫

30/04/2026

You are never walking through this life alone, even on the days it feels quiet. There’s a whole line of people behind you - ancestors who loved, struggled, survived, and somehow made it possible for you to be here.

They live in the way you laugh, the way you cope, the strength you don’t even realise you have. In the little instincts you can’t explain, the moments you just know what to do…that’s not random - that’s wisdom carried through generations.

So when life feels heavy, remember…you’re not starting from scratch. You’re walking forward with a thousand footsteps behind you, steadying you, guiding you, reminding you who you are.

And maybe, just maybe…you’re stronger than you think because you were never meant to do this on your own. ✨

Just some words I threw together about entering my cronehood years 💜

🕯️ Witchy Reminder for Today

Move through today like a spell in progress.
You don’t need to rush the magic.

Drink your water like it’s enchanted.
Light a candle - even if only in your mind.
Protect your energy like it’s sacred (because it is).

If the world feels loud, go quiet on purpose.
If you feel tired, that is not failure - it’s wisdom.
You are allowed to go slow. You are allowed to rest.

Not every day is for blooming.
Some days are for grounding, warding, and surviving.

If all you do today is breathe and exist,
then congratulations—you chose the oldest magic of all.

🌙 Save this for later.
🖤 You are held. You are protected. You are enough.

meditation over procrastination,
and a morning card pull to set the energy right. ✨🔮

Cold or not, today’s the day we show up for ourselves.
Witch mode: activated. 🧙‍♀️💪✨
