Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System, yet it has a huge impact on how we communicate and think.

In the last few weeks, we’ve covered what your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs represent, and now I’m so excited to talk about what Mercury represents in your astrological birth chart! So, get yourself a cuppa, and let’s get started!

Today I wanted to share with you another DreamyMoon's delivery that I was so excited to receive — the new guided journals by Annie Tarasova!

In the video above, I hope you enjoy watching the unboxing and first impressions of these two beautiful journals, the Dream Journal and Gratitude Journal from DreamyMoons. In this blog post, I’ll go into a little more detail — and if you scroll to the end of this page, you’ll find links to these journals, and some more recommendations and resources to learn more if you’re curious!

I feel like I want to take the Harmony Tarot deck on a picnic. It just makes me want to go outside somewhere and take it along with me!

Hey everyone! Welcome back, or if you’re here for the first time, nice to meet you! My name is Ebonie and this blog (and the YouTube channel) is here to help you reconnect to your intuition, so you can manifest in the real world! If you’re interested in all things self-development and mindset, I hope you’ll enjoy today’s blog post (and/or watch the video), and consider subscribing to my YouTube channel linked above!

A couple of weeks ago I shared a glimpse into this deck here, the Harmony Tarot, as I made a video and blog post all about the fact that it’s a pip deck, and I talked about what pip decks are exactly. Click here to check it out! I hope it’ll help you to decide if this deck is for you.

I’ve since been asked to do an actual review of this beautiful deck by Harmony Nice, and I definitely believe it deserves more of a closer look!

So today, I want to give you a full flip through of the deck, while I talk about my experience with it so far, and whether I recommend it!

Last Saturday was a full moon, and I couldn’t sleep! Does anyone else experience this?

For as long as I can remember, there would always be these one or two nights every month where’d I’d struggle to sleep and be super restless. I’ve since learned that this happens, without fail, on a full moon! It could be a coincidence, and now that I follow the moon phases and actually pay attention to when the full moon is, maybe it’s simply because I expect to be restless and unable to sleep now? Like it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, maybe?

But the number of times I’ve had a bad night’s sleep without knowing it was a full moon, only to find out later on that it was… I think I’m safe to say, from my experience at least, that the full moon definitely affects me.

The more I learn about the phases of the moon, and the different energies and meanings attributed to each phase, the more convinced I am that the moon influences my manifestations, intentions, and emotions.

Whatever you believe, learning the phases of the moon is fascinating. Learning how to utilize the energies of the moon in order to help manifest — that is just straight-up magical!

“I am healthy, I am wealthy, I am rich, I am that —”

Anyone else seen this lip-syncing video of ‘I am’ by Yung Baby Tate and Flo Milli making the rounds on Instagram reels? Not only is it a fun song to sing along to — it’s also a great example of how effective affirmations can be! So, get yourself a cuppa, and let’s talk about affirmations!

Hey everyone! Welcome back, or if you’re here for the first time, nice to meet you! My name is Ebonie and this blog (and the YouTube channel) is here to help you reconnect to your intuition, so you can manifest in the real world!

Today’s topic is all about pip cards in Tarot. In today’s example, they really are as cute as they sound!

I’ll be sharing with you my initial experiences using the first pip tarot deck I’ve ever owned, the Harmony Tarot by Harmony Nice, illustrated by Laura Shelley.

I’ll also talk about what pip cards are exactly, what I’ve learned that is really helping me to read them, and whether I recommend them to new Tarot readers.

Today I want to share with you my unboxing and first impressions of this beautiful deck by Cocorrina, the Divine Feminine Tarot. This deck is luscious!

Full disclosure before we get started - I actually won this deck through a competition Cocorinna ran on their YouTube channel! I’m so excited that I won, still can hardly believe it! Can’t remember the last time I won anything! It feels like I’m meant to have this deck, and honestly, I already feel so connected to it.

These are a few of my favourite books!

I reallllly love books. After much deliberation, and trust me it was a difficult decision, I’ve decided to talk about 8 of my all-time favourite books today! Mostly non-fiction, there’s a real mixture of self-development and spiritual books, and even one that’s a little more… political!

Right now, at the start of 2021, these are my faves, and I’m gonna tell you why I love them so much, and give you an idea about each of them, so you know if you want to read them too!

We’re a few weeks into 2021 now and I don’t know about you, but as February draws near, I’m starting to feel a little overwhelmed. Time is already flying by this year! So, I decided to write a list of spiritual and mindful practices that I can rely on to cheer me up, remind me to focus on what I can control, and let go of doubts, fears, or worries that sometimes try to get the best of me! These daily practices are beautiful, easy, simple things I can do without much preparation — if any. Some of them I can do literally anywhere, anytime. They are spiritual, mindful, beautiful things to do that remind me of my goals and what I’m in the midst of manifesting into my life.

There’s a real variety and they can be as spiritual or as practical as you want, but however you approach them, and whatever you believe, I encourage you to try these practices for yourself and tweak them to suit you. …

Last week, I shared with you my cacao ceremony. Waking early with cacao is my absolute favourite way to start my day, but as I mentioned in my cacao ceremony video, some mornings it is a bit of a struggle to get up early. Even when I’m rewarded with a delicious pure hot chocolate when I do!

So, I’ve discovered that there are a few tips and tricks that really help me get up early, and I thought I’d share them with you all today! I hope that they help you get the best start to your day, too!

Get yourself a cuppa (a necessity when talking about mornings), and let’s get started!

For the cacao curious… this video and blog post is for you!

Today’s video and blog post are like jumping into the chocolate river in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! We’re diving into all things cacao – what makes cacao ‘ceremonial-grade’, what is a cacao ceremony, how can a cacao ceremony help you, and why spend a whole lotta money on what seems to just be fancy chocolate?

Chocoholics rejoice – you’re going to love this topic!

So, get yourself a cuppa (perhaps a cup of cacao), and let’s talk about one of my favourite things, chocolate!

You can set all the New Years’ Resolutions, you can have all the best intentions to accomplish your goals, but without getting specific on WHY you want to achieve them, not only will you struggle to enjoy the process, you’ll also hinder your success.

Those new years’ resolutions will be forgotten by February unless you have the motivation that can last well into the rest of the year and beyond… The kind of motivation that comes from having a solid reason why you want to do something.

Your reason for doing something is what will drive you to succeed.

Knowing your why is crucial to achieving your goals and manifesting anything you want.

This is a huge topic, but an interesting one, so get yourself a cuppa, and let’s get into it!

Today's video is a little different!

Today is Christmas Eve, so I thought it'd be fun to share a short compilation of different shots from my videos this year - almost a highlight reel of my YouTube videos in 2020! I based it around being in lockdown at home for most of the year. I feel like this sums up 2020 well, though of course it barely scrapes the surface. There's obviously far more to show and say than I could fit into a 3-minute video!

The main thing I want to say today is thank you.

Last week, I shared all my card decks – this week, I’d like to shine the spotlight on my charm collection!

Plus, I want to give away one charm casting set, as a Christmas gift from me to one of you! So, stay tuned until the end to learn how to enter the giveaway!

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the blog - or if you’re just meeting me for the first time, hi! My name is Ebonie, and this blog (and YouTube channel) is here to help you reconnect to your intuition, so you can manifest in the real world! If that sounds like something that you’re curious about, I hope you’ll consider subscribing to the channel, and the weekly newsletter!

I love casting charms and I’ve made a whole video and blog post explaining what charm casting actually is, so if you haven’t seen it already, click here to check that out!

Today’s video is about showing you all the charms I have in a little more detail, the meanings behind each charm, and how I’ve collected them.

In today’s video, I share all 20 of my Oracle, Tarot, Affirmation, Lenormand, and Fortune Telling Card Decks, in 45 minutes! It was not an easy feat to keep this video short and sweet, and 45 minutes is certainly longer than anticipated, so feel free to zoom through via the chapters and time codes listed in the video description on YouTube! Or simply scroll down to read all about it in today’s blog post!

Hey everyone! Welcome back, or if you’re here for the first time, nice to meet you! My name is Ebonie and this blog (and the YouTube channel) is here to help you reconnect to your intuition, so you can manifest your most magical life, in the real world!

That you for being here today, to talk about the importance of mindset and beliefs when it comes to manifesting.

At the end of this post, you’ll see a series of questions that you can journal on if you like! I recommend really spending time thinking about your answers, so you can set New Year’s resolutions and goals for 2021 that you’ll actually stick with!

Manifesting isn't just about tools and techniques. Pretty journals and divination may help, but ultimately, I believe there is a key thing that will make or break your success: your mindset, and what you believe.

Your mindset and your beliefs will either hinder you or propel you forward.

The Year of Growth Book and the Daily Planner are from Dreamy Moons, an Australian online store created by Annie Tarasova. She creates so many amazing things! I have her oracle and affirmation cards, and one of her journals too… Getting quite the Dreamy Moons collection! But today’s focus is on these beautiful 2021 diaries!

There are two to choose from, or you can purchase both as a set, called the 2021 Dreamy Bundle. I chose to do that - as they both function a little differently, and I think it’ll be the perfect set up for me! She also included a bonus pen which reads “I am abundant” with illustrations which is so sweet — I had no idea that was coming with them too! As you’ll see in the video above too, even the box they arrive in is illustrated beautifully.

Deep down I know I am successful. I know I have reached all my goals and surpassed my wildest dreams. Deep down, I know this to be true. But we don’t always see the world around us through the rose-tinted glasses of our imagined future, our hopes, and dreams.

We more often see the world around us at the surface level. Most of us are stuck at the surface level. At the edge of the water, seeing only ourselves mirrored back at us... but it’s not a true, complete image.

It’s how we see ourselves based on our opinions, beliefs, and judgements. It’s how we see ourselves based on the opinions of others, through the beliefs we have accumulated through our experiences and the perceived judgement from those in our lives.

It’s our expectations and other’s expectations of us.

We forget, or simply don’t know how, to look deeper, beyond the surface image. To see past the layers of fear, doubt, and judgment, and witness our true selves. Our true wants and needs. Connection. Purpose. Freedom.

So, stop for a moment. Look deeper. Tell me, what do you see? What do you feel?

Your dreams are visions that have not yet manifested in the real world. But through techniques such as visualisation, you may find that the water is not as deep as it appears.

Today, we’re going to dive into the topic of Visualisation.

How often do you want to just do nothing? And by do nothing, usually, you mean, you want to just chill, watch a TV show or play a video game. You want to zone out from the world and simply have fun, without feeling the need to be productive.

Because here’s the thing – most of us want to be as productive as possible. We’re always saying how there’s not enough time in the day. When you ask someone how they are, the most common responses include some form of “I’m so busy!”

When we do take the time to just chill out and “do nothing”, i.e. do nothing productive, for any measure of time – we can very easily slip into guilt and stress. Or we can try to multitask, to find a balance between productive and chill. We can overwhelm ourselves when we do return to the world of never-ending to-do lists and wonder if binge watching Netflix was really worth scrambling to catch up on tasks afterwards.

We all need the downtime. We all need to have fun for no other reason than enjoyment. We all need to figure out our own balance and do what works best for us. Yet as easily as we can hit play on Netflix, we can just as easily get into the habit of truly doing nothing. Mediation is the holy grail of what it means to “do nothing”.

It requires no effort to sit and be still, to focus on breathing in and out, to let thoughts and emotions pass by without following them, to let the world completely fall away.

Today’s post is a little different from what I’ve done lately – I just felt like mixing it up this week! I’ll definitely be continuing my series, ‘Manifesting in the Real World’ – there are so many episodes to come, all about the law of attraction and how to manifest what you want. So, stay tuned for more episodes in the series coming soon!

Today though, I felt like focusing on reading Tarot cards, and how beneficial they can be! If you’ve just started learning Tarot or you’re totally new to the practice and wondering what all the hype is about, I hope this video helps you understand why learning how to read Tarot cards is absolutely worth your time.

I’ve recently started taking commissions for readings through Ko-fi which is super exciting! So, if you’d like me to do a reading for you, find out more through the links below in the description. I’ll talk more about all of that soon, but firstly, here are three ways that Tarot can benefit you!

Being grateful may seem like a no-brainer. Just as we’re taught to use manners as kids, most of us are good at saying thank you without thinking about it.

But the real power of gratitude comes from taking time to really feel it and acknowledge all the things you have to be grateful for.

Keeping a gratitude journal may seem silly, but the simple act of writing down what you appreciate and letting yourself truly feel gratitude, can transform your mindset, and ultimately, help you manifest. Focus on being grateful for what you have, and you’ll attract more good things into your life that you can be grateful for.

Today, you’re going to start a gratitude journal that you’ll actually want to keep!

Vision boards are not necessarily just a spiritual concept. In my opinion, they make logical sense too. Studies have shown that you’re more likely to achieve a goal if you’ve written it down. Well, if a picture is worth a thousand words, then accompanying your written goals with images will surely help you achieve them!

Today I want to tell you why you should create a vision board and share some tips on how you can create one that will work effectively so that you can manifest in the real world.

This is Manifesting in the Real World, Episode Two!

The Law of Attraction has garnered quite a reputation. Not going to lie, I have gone through a little bit of a love-hate relationship with the term, and how it is sometimes portrayed as a little too airy-fairy. But I feel like I understand it better than ever before now – in terms of using it to attract more positivity and to manifest what you want into your life. There’s much more to manifesting than meets the eye…

The Law of Attraction and Manifesting don’t have to be these otherworldly, unattainable spiritual concepts. You don’t have to feel the pressure to be perfectly positive all the time, to be all love and light with no shadows and no depth. Not only is this idea impossible to achieve, but it’s also a form of spiritual gaslighting. In this series, I want to show you how possible it is to be your multi-faceted, beautiful self, living your life fully through all the ups and downs – while still manifesting the best life that you can possibly imagine.

When I first started learning Tarot, I kept hearing the word ‘intuition’. “Trust your intuition,” “Listen to your intuition”, “Connect to your Intuition…” And I thought, okay, I get it. I just go with my ‘gut instinct’ right? How hard could that be?

Before I knew it, seeking out my intuition became the bigger, more important task. I realised that the divination tools were simply to help me get there. Tarot, oracle and Lenormand cards, rune stones, charms, and tea leaf reading, even seeking advice from a pendulum… These are all helpful tools that help you to connect to your intuition.

But they are just methods, just tools – they are not intuition itself. They helped me immeasurably, and continue to help me, every single day. But to really use them to their full potential, I had to understand what intuition meant first.

In today’s video, through this blog and on my YouTube channel, my hope is to help you reconnect to your intuition.
