October

The month of October is a time of encouragement for inner reflection, releasing, and healing your denied grimmer emotions.

October is the Tenth month of the Year and is heavily associated with the Sabbat Samhuin, which many practitioners often consider to be the beginning of the Witch’s Year and the First Sabbat.

Halloween is also heavily based off of this ancient Irish Sabbat, with Jack O’ Lanterns being protective offerings to the spirits as to leave the living be.

The Full Moon:

An October’s Full Moon is called a Blood Moon, and can help give attention to traveling inwards towards unacknowledged feelings and thoughts. The Blood Moon astrologically communicates the chance for an expressive reset and a purge of your emotive shadows.

Correspondences:

Deities: Hecate, Hephaestus, Selene, The Morrigan, Hel, and Vulcan. Elements: Air, Water, and Spirit.. Flowers: Cosmos, Freesias, and Marigolds. Gemstones: Opals and Tourmalines. Holidays: Samhuin. Moons: Harvest or Hunter moon. Signs: Libra and Scorpio. Trees: Ash, Ivy, and Oak.

How to banish an entity:

Learning how to banish an entity is a very important skill to know in case you come across an entity that you want to send out of your space, and is a good way to protect yourself from spiritual entities that may come to try to do harm to you. There are many ways to go about banishing an entity, and in this post I will be going over a couple of them. I will also be giving tips that may be helpful. This is not an extensive guide by any means, but it’s definitely a stepping stone to understanding the processes that coincide with the banishment of entities.

Protecting yourself:

Protecting yourself is very important especially when you feel a presence that should not be in your space. Through the act of putting up shields you will help protect your self against them by putting up a wall of kna between the two of you, and by putting up wards anything that’s already on the inside will be forced out. This will give you time to come back to yourself, so that you can focus on what you should do next in order to deal with this entity. These shields, and wards do not have to be elaborate, and should be something you can call upon quickly when your safety is in question from spiritual forces. A simple way to put up a shield is to simply focus your kna around you, by visualizing it flowing off of your body much like mist, or light well thinking that you are protected, this will send your kna out from yourself forming a shield around your body through the power of your will.

Learning more about the entity:

Learning more about the entity can teach you a lot about its reasons for wanting to hang around you in the first place, and will also help you decide if this entity is malevolent in any way towards you, or is just an entity that is naturally there, and not aggressive. Knowledge is power, and by you locking onto some of its key features such as its spiritual appearance, and it’s personality along with any other information you can gather from it, you will be able to interact with it more effectively. Knowing what you are dealing with before you deal with it can help the banishing process go more smoothly by allowing you to have the upper hand on it by knowing your enemy, or can help you realize that you don’t need your guard up around this entity, and can let it be, or ask it to leave.

Talking it out, and asking it to leave:

If the entity isn’t immediately aggressive you could always go through the process of talking to the entity to figure out why they are hanging around. They may just be passing through and not know that they are trespassing on your space, and you may be able to go through the simple process of asking them to leave. All you would really need to do in order to do this is to enter a meditative state, so that you would be able to hear, and recognize their communication with you, then you would just have to have a normal conversation with the entity. In this conversation you should figure out what their purpose for being in that space is, and see if you guys cannot come to a civil agreement. You may be able to ask it to leave, or it may just be allowed to hang around if it is not causing problems, but that’s all that really depends on the conversation that you guys have. If you cannot communicate with entities you can always go through the process of using a divination process to divine their answers.

Demanding that it leaves:

If negotiations fail, and you have gone through the process of talking to it, or you feel that it will not listen to you, then it is time to demand it to leave. Through the power of your will, intention, and assertiveness you can force the entity out of your space by demanding out loud that at leaves. This intention will send your kna to force the entity out of your space. You can also go through the process of using there name in your demands in order to connect your will to it targeting it with your kna, if you do not have its name you can always go through the process of making one up for it. By first telling the entity that it’s name is this, and then using that name in your demands to tell it to leave. During this entire process you should be strong, and assertive, and should not waver under the entity in any regards in order not to give it power, and to put your intention through. If done correctly the entity should be forced from the space from your sheer kna, and willpower.

Forcing it out with kna:

You can also go through the process of using a more energetic method by visualizing your kna as fire, or light flowing to the entity blasting it with all that you have, by focusing on this vision in your mind’s eye, while projecting your kna forward will send it out in order to manifest your desire of sending the entity out of your space. This is a much better method if you feel that you are better with visualization, and kna work, and will allow you to enter a more trance-like state, while projecting your kna at the entity.

Forcing it out with items:

Certain items have banishing metaphysical properties that can be quite helpful in sending entities out of your space. These items can be natural such as herbs, and stones, or can be more man made things such as sigil, tailsman and amulets. By bringing these objects into the proximity of the entity with the intention of forcing them out you will begin to use them. This is a good way to go to the process of banishing the entity from your space with the incorporation of other objects. You could even go through the process of hard binding the entity to an object, then getting rid of the object with the entity bound to it. This will allow the entity to be bound to something, so that that something can be gotten rid of more easily.

Here is a list of some items that can help in the banishment of entities:

Makna water

Rosemary

Sage

Garlic

Dragon’s blood

Bloodstone

Black Salt

Salt

Smoky Quartz

Obsidian

Black pepper

Cloves

Jet

Sigil of banishment

Asking for help:

You can also go through the process of asking another practitioner for help in banishing the entity from your space, especially if you do not believe that you can handle it yourself. If you do not know any other practitioners you could always go through the process of asking a yamasa, or yamasa ona, or your skacaga ona to banish the entity for you, or at least help you in the process of banishing the entity. This can help you out greatly, especially if you are not used to banishing entities, and want some extra help.

Cleansing the area:

After the entity is all good in banished it is a good idea to go through the process of cleansing the area where they were at. This will relieve that space from their kna, and will get rid of any negative feelings, or residual kna that the entity had left there. This can be simply done through any cleansing method such as burning herbs, placing crystals in the space , clap cleansing, or any other cleansing method that you are aware of.

🌾 L𝕦𝕘𝕙𝕟𝕒𝕤𝕒𝕕𝕙/I𝕞𝕓𝕠𝕝𝕔 🌱 Lughnasadh and Imbolc are only a few days away. I can’t believe how quickly this year is flying by!

It’s always from Lughnasadh that I start to get excited that Autumn is getting closer! Even though it’s still summer, I can start to look at the natural world and very slowly see fall gradually come.

Are you ready?

🌾 L𝕦𝕘𝕙𝕟𝕒𝕤𝕒𝕕𝕙/I𝕞𝕓𝕠𝕝𝕔 🌱 I’m posting my tarot spreads for Lughnasadh in the northern hemisphere and Imbolc in the southern hemisphere a day earlier than I usually post my Sabbat spreads. I wanted to give you a bit more time to use them if you choose before both Sabbats actually arrive on August 1.

These spreads work well with oracle cards too!

🌾 L𝕦𝕘𝕙𝕟𝕒𝕤𝕒𝕕𝕙/I𝕞𝕓𝕠𝕝𝕔 🌱 Lughnasadh and Imbolc blessings, lovelies!!

I thought it might be fun to share a few really simple, easy to make recipes you might want to try out to celebrate the Sabbats!

I purposely went for easy to make food so no matter your level of cooking, you can still create food that is associated with Lughnasadh and Imbolc.

As Lughnasadh is the first harvest, baking bread is an ancient activity to do at this time. The very actions of making the bread can be a beautiful ritual too.

As Imbolc is the beginning of spring. Foods appropriate to eat on this day include all dairy products as this Sabbat is connected lambing and calving season and milk production.

For a vegan baked custard recipe, you can substitute the cows milk for almond or soy milk. You can also substitute each egg for ¼ cup of plain non-dairy yogurt. Add around 1/8th teaspoon of baking soda for each egg substituted as yogurt has no leavening properties.

Witches Sabbats: Lughnasadh

Autumn draws near and with it, comes Lughnasadh.

Lughnasadh, pronounced “LOO-nah-sah” and known also as Lammas, is a Celtic festival that occurs from the 31st of July through into the 1st of August. It was observed fervently throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man and marks the beginning of the harvest season.

Also called: Lúnasa (modern Irish), Lùnastal (Scottish Gaelic), Luanistyn (Manx Gaelic).

Lughnasadh is the celebration and ritual of the first harvest of fruit, wheat, and grain. This festival both acknowledges and celebrates the waning of light - Lughnasadh is the initiation of Winter preparation.

It is named for Lugh Lámhfada. and is in honour of his step-mother, Tailtiu who perished of exhaustion after clearing the fields of Ireland ready to be planted, sowed and seeded. Lughnasadh was originally a set of rituals, gatherings and funerary games (named Tailteann Games, or Áenach Tailteann) in honour of Tailtiu’s death and sacrifice. 

Some Symbols of Lughnasadh:

Wheat

Corn

Barely

Oats

Onions

Grapes

Straw dolls/straw bales

Corn dolls

Wood

Tarot (strength)

Runes (Eihwaz)

The Colours of Lughnasadh:

Yellow

Orange

Red

Violet

Dark green

Brown

The Stones & Crystals of Lughnasadh:

Carnelian

Cat’s Eye

Citrine

Marble

Sale

Granite

Lodestone

The Herbs of Lughnasadh:

Heather

Blackberry

Rose

Sandalwood

Goldenrod

Important/Celebrated Foods of Lughnasadh:

Bread

Apples

Corn

Beer/Ale/Mead

Grapes

Onions

Apricot

Pear

Activities to be done during Lughnasadh:

Baking/Cooking: Sharing food is a good thing to do with each sabbat, especially those with agricultural ties. If you incorporate seasonal foods, and foods associated with the sabbat itself, it can be seen as an offering or as being done in honour of what you’re celebrating.

Take some time to enjoy nature: Lughnasadh is a time when the seasons are changing, so take this time to walk and enjoy the last that summer has to offer. Collect things whilst you walk to put on your altar if you have one.

Construct an altar: if this is something you do, decorate your altar with some of the items mentioned in the list above. If you’re pagan and have a deity who corresponds with this holiday, leave an offering on your altar. In Lugh’s case, he is a god known for his skills in craftmanship and His ability to turn His hand to anything. He is also known for playing the harp, so anything you have crafted or that has taken skill to create will be well received by Him.

Decorate your home: if you like, small decor changes can really get you in the mood and act as a celebratory act.

Bonfires: Invite friends and/or family to a bonfire. Not only is Lughnasadh a celebration of waning light and of the god Lugh, it is a celebration of fire. Share plans to remove negative habits or influences from your life with your loved ones, burn representatives of negativity, drink to future prosperity and toast to Lugh.

Light a candle and do the same, if you are not yet an outed witch.

Craft: as mentioned before, Lugh is a god of craft and skill. Make something! Finish a project you’ve been putting off! 

If you don’t want to do something in Lugh’s name, you can make dolls out of corn (a very traditional activity) and they can be left on an altar if you have one, used as decoration or turned into a poppet.

Acts of athelticism: The funerary games of Lughnasadh were its primary reason for creation. To honour this, you can do something on a small scale, such as jogging or yoga, or going to the gym, if you are able.

Trading: Bake some bread and give it to your friends/family/coven in exchange for herbs, or some canldes! That’s just an idea. but you get the gist of it.

Lots of trading took place at historic Lughnasadh celebrations, as they assembly for this season festival was always large.

Feasting: Ties into the baking/cooking aspect, but using things that come from the first harvest is a good way to honour Lughnasadh and Tailtiu.

♌️ L𝕖𝕠 ♌️ Leo season starts today! ✨ It is all about seeing friends, building up your confidence but this season is also connected to our pride. If you accidentally make someone feel as though they’ve been disrespected, it might be hard to sort things out. So be careful of the drama that can rise up throughout this time!

Fire signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius will thrive the most during Leo season while fixed signs Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius could face a few challenges.

My Descendant is in Leo. Who has Leo somewhere in their birth chart?
