October Quotes
“The clump of maples on the hill,
And this one near the door,
Seem redder, quite a lot, this year
Than last, or year before;
I wonder if it’s jest because
I Love the Old State more!”
David L. Cady, October in Vermont

Spirituality & Health: The Best Meditation for Each Ayurvedic Dosha
by Sweta Srivastava Vikram
Not every type of meditation is suited for everyone. Which style of meditation is best for your dosha?
There is a running joke in my inner circle that a meditation teacher once asked a friend of mine to leave a class because his energy was distracting others. True story! New to meditation, our friend was unsure, cerebral, restless, and trying to get it right … meaning, he was too fidgety for the class. He laughs about it today. But as an Ayurvedic practitioner and yoga teacher, my friend’s story

Exemplore: Eliminating Negative Influences With Banishing Magick
LYDIA WORKMANOCT 3, 2023
What Is Banishing Magick?
Banishing magick removes negativity. You can also use it to prevent psychic attacks and eliminate physical threats. It is the next step up from a binding spell. Some may think banishing magick is more badass than a binding. Personally, I choose to work banishing magick rather than bindings.

Patheos-Pagan: It’s indispensable
OCTOBER 5, 2023 BY CAMELIA ELIAS
As I was going through some older posts, I stumbled over, ‘Yes, but…’ on reading playing cards for yes/no questions. The text is now archived in the Method section of the Read like the Devil website. Recognizing my own voice from the past, and thinking about how fresh it still is after a decade, I thought about the playing card pack.

Inner Journey:
DO YOU GIVE TO GET?
“I have sensed a growing discontent amongst many who are on their spiritual path. A common theme appears to be — ‘I have been serving God for so long and have given up so much and it has been such a struggle — when am I going to get my reward?’”
— Wendy Munroe
It’s interesting to become aware of how we participate in the dynamic exchange of giving and receiving. When we give, do we do so whole-heartedly? Or do we do so with the ulterior motive of wanting something in return?
It’s not wise to be always looking for a deal. The universe never short-changes us. We can afford to be generous. When something of value is given, something of value must be returned.
“It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”
— Mother Teresa

A Note from the Universe
Here’s the thing Admission into time and space requires a belief in limits: that both time and space are real; that you can therefore have and have-not; that love can be lost and found; and that you are what your physical senses show you, no more.
Leading you to believe that you are incomplete, and therefore filling you with desire, igniting your emotions, fueling your passions, and sending you out into the world where journeys are begun, connections are made, and dreams come true… only to be replaced by new dreams as your divine sense of incompleteness persists.
This is by design, Feeling incomplete does not make you so. It’s how legends are born, giants are made, and history is written. It’s why you’re here. To ever so briefly escape your true identity as you live with an unquenchable thirst that will lead you into adventures of grandeur and a realization that love is all there is.
Bowing before greatness,
The Universe

Today’s Tarot: Friday
The Lovers: Preconceived notions and old ideas could make it hard to deal with all the new and different situations and requests that could crop up today. It’s possible that you’re not actually being presented choices that must be made now or soon. Just as likely you’re being tested or tempted. It may be hard to resist a knee jerk reaction or two. Avoid committing to anything definite if you can.
