September Quotes
“But now in September the garden has cooled, and with it my possessiveness. The sun warms my back instead of beating on my head … The harvest has dwindled, and I have grown apart from the intense midsummer relationship that brought it on.”

Spirit Library: Virgo ~ Energy of the Month ~ Healing + Unity Within
Virgo gives everyone a chance to “process, sort & sift” all that has come up in the last nine months. There is a line in the book, Little Soul & the Sun by Neale Donald Walsh, that says, “Now that I know WHO I AM, I want to BE it!” And I must suggest that in order for you to “BE” all that you discovered about your essential nature (in Leo) and what nourishes and supports you on the deepest levels (in Cancer), Virgo is the energy that extracts the BEST of YOU and helps you heal and/or release all that is no longer relevant or useful – within and around you

I feel strange writing this out loud, because I haven’t yet admitted it to anyone.
So, Elephant Journal, you’re who I’m choosing to “out” myself to—or, what the witches call, “coming out of the broom closet.”

Patheos-Pagan: The Autumn Awakening ~ Returning to Center
IRENE GLASSE
Sometime during the summer, I go a little dormant. The high heat and humidity where I live in the mid-Atlantic weighs heavily on me. I begin to drift, to slip into the doldrums. I tend to slide out of my patterns of practice and choose checking out rather than dialing in.

Inner Journey:
REDISCOVER YOUR SENSE OF SMELL
“Smell is a potent wizard that transports us across thousands of miles and all the years we have lived.”
— Helen Keller
Many of us are so wrapped up in our thinking and activity that we have lost touch with our senses. Sensing brings us fully into the moment. Only when we are aware and conscious can we receive the gifts of experience our senses continually bring us.
Today, set an intention to be aware of smells. Focus on your nose and awaken to its sensitivity. As you smell more consciously, let go of your judgment of the aromas. Don’t label them good or bad; simply experience them for their individual qualities. Also note when smells revive old memories.
“When you start using senses you’ve neglected, your reward is to see the world with completely fresh eyes.”
— Barbara Sher

Daily Wisdom
September 8, 2021
Honesty
“The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world, is to be in reality what we would appear to be; and if we observe, we shall find, that all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice and experience of them.”
-Socrates (469-399 B.C.)
The most important aspect of being honest is being honest with ourselves. This involves self-trust, and self-knowledge. It is important to learn who we are, and to express who we are freely. No masks, no illusions
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The Magician
You have a magic touch today. The right word or action at the right time can instantly turn things around and morph a challenge into an easy opportunity. This is not something to take for granted or to exploit, though. Use your power with a very light touch, if at all. It’s possible that a mere thought or unspoken intention could have influence.
