blessed samhain <3 happy new moon

i have found myself going through an immense period of growth this year. most of my energy has been delegated to surviving in such a way that allowed me to be present with my family. while i acknowledge that this season is far from over, i wanted to share my new moon & samhain reading.

the oracle card encourages me to reflect, celebrate what was, and mourn what is no longer while looking forward to a new season of growth (spring). this card is especially special to me because of the cardinal. i have vivid memories of bird watching with my late maternal grandmother and she would tell me these birds were one of her favorites. as i shuffled the deck, i focused on the memory of her. on the day that the veil is the most thin, after having seen signs from her for the last few weeks, she truly came through.

i believe the tarot cards are part of the message she had for me. strong maternal energy comes through with the empress, despite it being in reverse. the message encourages me to invest love & energy back into myself. it also affirms that i’m on the right path & that my guides are with me.

i apologize for the long winded nature of this post. this reading is just so special, and it deserved to be shared.

sending love & well wishes to you all.

i believe. i receive.

thank you

<3

i find myself feeling particularly weary & vulnerable today, feelings that i can’t quite explain. in truth, i’ve been neglecting many aspects of my life- some out of necessity, some out of convenience. regardless of where those aspects fall, the neglect has nonetheless left me feeling listless. i’ve found myself pulled back to my basics: my loved ones (particularly those i feel a sisterhood with), my practice, and writing. i took my practice to the bones of these emotions and placed only what served to ground me on my body: amethyst over my heart, clear quartz earrings to help clear my head, my great grandmother’s turquoise baby ring, and a moonstone ring to help protect me as well as embolden my bond to my june-borne daughter. i also put a braid in my hair, something i have been meaning to do for quite a while, to aid in protecting my vulnerable energies.

i say this all not to act as a guide, but in a way to celebrate my practice & my prioritization of spiritual wellbeing.

take care of yourselves, gentle souls. know you are loved beyond knowledge, cherished beyond comprehension 🤍

i try to make it a point to spend the first day of each new year in nature. today, i took my daughter on her very first hike on a trail & she had the time of her life.

from my family to you & yours, happy new year~

Happy Centennial year to the NYS Parks system!!! I’m at a loss for words to describe how much these parks mean to me. I am grateful beyond measure for everything they’ve given me, from memories to opportunities and beyond 🤎

twelve magical nights, 12/24-12/26

as you can imagine, the holiday consumed a lot of my time (and energy). i took lots of time to be present and recharge once the festivities were done and my daughter was dreaming away.

i have continued with the ritual every night since, but i haven’t taken any photos. it’s been such a fulfilling experience & i’m so thankful to have stumbled upon this ritual. it’s almost over for the year, and i can’t wait to see what comes of it~

twelve magical nights ritual, burning my second & third wishes 12/22 & 12/23…

friday night’s ritual was very simple and sweet. looking back now, it feels as if it was complete but gone too soon. fitting, because it was my night to pull february’s card, the shortest month of the year.

february: queen of cups in reverse

saturday may have been the most magical of my twelve magical nights so far. i feel very much at peace in my heart. the world has stilled and, although i know the sands of time are still passing by, it feels as if i have been existing in this moment for quite some time. there’s peace, quiet, and stillness encapsulating my mind, body, and soul in a sort of snow globe effect. my past is sorely lacking in those respects, riddled with chasing adrenaline highs and avoiding being alone with my thoughts for too long. the house is quiet without my partner or child here, and i feel far from complete without them; however, i am comfortable not being whole at present, albeit eager to be reunited with them. i think i am going to sit with this for a little while 🤍

twelve magical nights ritual, burning of the first wish on the night of the solstice 12/21…

i held it close to my heart before letting it go. it let itself be ardently consumed by the fire, almost as if it was eager to be released.

i subsequently pulled my card for the month of january:

sounds like an interesting start to my year~
