September Quotes
“The last of Summer is Delight —
Deterred by Retrospect.
‘Tis Ecstasy’s revealed Review —
Enchantment’s Syndicate.
To meet it — nameless as it is —
Without celestial Mail —
Audacious as without a Knock
To walk within the Veil.”
Emily Dickinson, The Last of Summer is Delight

Learn Religions: Mabon Balance Meditation
Celebrating the Dark and the Light
By Patti Wigington
Updated on January 03, 2019
Mabon is one of those times of year that affect people in different ways. For some, it’s a season to honor the darker aspects of the goddess, calling upon that which is devoid of light. It’s a time of both positive and negative energy.

The Transylvania Effect
William Shakespeare once beautifully said in his play, Othello,
“It is the very error of the moon.
She comes more near the Earth
than she was wont. And makes
men mad.”

Patheos-Pagan: Exploring Past Life regression through spiritual belief and psychology
SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 BY KATIE GERRARD
I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of Past Lives. The thought we might reincarnate over and again and have unexplained memories and experiences sparked intrigue for me.

Inner Journey:
NOTHING NEEDS TO BE FIXED
“If you are ready to accept all which you find in yourself, you will be able to move through everything with deep sensitivity, awareness, love and understanding.”
— Gerd Ziegler
As we understand it, the spiritual journey is not about becoming perfect. It’s about acceptance, releasing judgment, and embracing everything in wholeness.
This is a great challenge for our personality. We’ve grown up comparing ourselves to others, always judging how we’re better and worse than those around us. And many of us are very good at finding fault with ourselves.
If we release judgment, then nothing needs to be fixed — including you. Explore inviting your soul to help you accept all that is and experience a whole new way of living.
“Wherever you are is always the right place. There is never a need to fix anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher place. Start right where you are.”
— Julia Cameron

A Note from the Universe
Contrary to popular thinking being worthy isn’t something you earn, it’s something you recognize.
And once you do, you won’t be able to think, speak, or behave in any other way than as if what you most wanted was meant to be.
You were born worthy,

Today’s Tarot: Wednesday
The Wheel of Fortune: You may be in high spirits today and see everything in a fresh light. If this interferes with your mundane duties, take pleasure in the small, lovely, often overlooked aspects of what’s around you. Discoveries can be made in even the most repetitive activity when you look closely enough and appreciate why things are the way they are. This exuberance is short-lived, so enjoy the day and learn something new!
Today’s Tarot; Thursday
The Tower: Your emotions and instincts are working overtime today and this can distract you from doing the simplest of things. Whatever difficulties you encounter today – and they should be small ones – you will create more problems for yourself by being too psychically overactive. If someone is preoccupied with you and wishing you to have a rough day, you’ll know it but maybe not know who it is.
