September Quotes
” ‘I grow old, I grow old,’ the garden says. It is nearly October. The bean leaves grow paler, now lime, no yellow, no leprous, dissolving before my eyes. The pods curl and do not grow, turn limp and blacken. The potato vines wither and the tubers huddle underground in their rough weather-proof jackets, waiting to be dug. The last tomatoes ripen and split on the vine; it takes days for them to turn fully now, and a few of the green ones are beginning to fall off.”

Moody Moons: Sacred Connections: Growing Up in a Pagan Household
Fairies living in a hollowed backyard tree. Cats passing through mirrors into alternate realms. A group of birds determining our fate. These may sound like plot lines from an old book of fairy tales, but for me, they were the normal beliefs of my childhood. This is because I was raised in a Pagan household.

Inner Journey:
WHY? WHY? WHY?
“As long as one keeps searching, the answers come.”
— Joan Baez
Asking ourselves ‘why?’ helps us delve deeply into our main motives — why we do what we do. This process helps us go deeper into our reasoning, habits and unconscious beliefs. Once we become aware of our underlying motives, we can choose to change them, if we wish.
Regularly ask yourself, ‘Why am I…?’ Listen closely for the answer that surfaces in your mind, and write it down. Now look at your answer and ask why again. Continue with this process to reach the true source of your motivation.
“Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else….”
— Archibald Alexander

Today’s Tarot: Wednesday
The Wheel of Fortune: Restlessness and boredom could slow you down and take you off on some unintended tangent. If you can’t break free of the usual routine today, do what’s necessary and perhaps schedule more delicate tasks for another time when it will be easier to be precise and attend to details. Know your own limits and if possible don’t take on something that will only frustrate you. If you must, start slow.
Today’s Tarot; Thursday
The Pope: People may look to you to get some enthusiasm back into their lives. If sagging a little in spirit yourself, you can still inspire others. This can cheer you up, too, so don’t underestimate a small glimmer of joy in something that you genuinely love. No one has to agree with you. They only have to allow you to do what feels best to you – and you to them.
