October Birthstone: Opal
Birthstone Color: Multi-colored
October’s birthstone treats the eye to an explosion of shimmering colors, not unlike those of a magnificent rainbow following a summer rain. The Opal derives its name from the Latin word “opalus,” meaning precious jewel. Prized for its unique ability to refract and reflect specific wavelengths of light, the Opal was called “Cupid Paederos” by the Romans, meaning a child beautiful as love. One legendary explanation for this gemstone’s origin is that it fell from heaven in a flash of fiery lightning.

Exemplore: Samhain Pagan Pumpkin Carving Printable Stencils
MACKENZIE SAGE WRIGHTAUG 3, 2022
Wiccan Pumpkin Stencils
I love jack-o’-lantern carving, and I especially love to make my own pumpkin stencils to create unique designs. Since Samhain is different from Halloween to me, I like to make more Pagan-friendly pumpkins to put out on the altar and around the home. Nothing like doing a ritual in a room surrounded by glowing Pagan-themed jack-o’-lanterns!

Treehugger: What I Love About a Fall Garden
It fosters contemplation and respect for the earth’s seasonal cycles.
As the nights begin to draw in and summer’s heat fades fast, we may spend less time in our gardens and mourn the departure of the sun.

“The sweet calm sunshine of October, now
Warms the low spot; upon its grassy mold
The purple oak-leaf falls; the birchen bough
drops its bright spoil like arrow-heads of gold.”

October 1 and 2 evenings: Moon near Jupiter and Pleiades
The bright waning gibbous moon will glow near Jupiter on the evenings of October 1 and 2, 2023. Also nearby is the lovely and delicate Pleiades star cluster, one of the cosmic gems in Taurus the Bull. The moon will rise about an hour after sunset, so this eye-catching trio will be visible traveling across the sky together until dawn.

Patheos-Pagan: October is the Best Month
OCTOBER 1, 2023 BY JOHN BECKETT
October is the best month and it’s not even close.
When I wrote August is the Worst Month two months ago I knew I had to have a follow-up. That post was more introspective – I was having a bad time and I realized that I often struggle in August.

Inner Journey:
LABELS LIMIT US
“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.”
— Lao Tzu
How do you label yourself? How do you label others?
Be aware that any label is limiting. Labels stick us in a box where there’s no room to move. Today, experience how it feels to let go of the labels to rest in ‘I am.’ Feel the freedom, the spaciousness, the infinite potential of simply being.
“As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.”
— Meister Eckhart
“Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you.”
— Og Mandino

A Note from the Universe
Our worlds actually have a lot in common.
We’ve got angels; you’ve got angels.
Our thoughts become things; your thoughts become things.
We have no limits; you have no limits.
I make my dreams come true; you make your dreams come true.
Right?

Today’s Tarot: Monday
Justice:Take everything and everyone a little bit more seriously today, without getting grim about it. People may bring you requests or problems that they think are shaking up their world, and you should offer at least a token respect for their worries and needs. None of this puts any pressure on you, unless you get emotionally involved. Remember, you have neither the power nor responsibility to fix it all.
Today’s Tarot; Tuesday
The Judgement: You can get a great deal done today and strengthen some relationships by being tactfully straightforward and not adding complications to anyone’s day. With no hidden agenda or any manipulative tricks, you can win people’s cooperation and have them agree with you most of the time. Keep things simple and stick to the basics to see the best and happiest results.
