October Quotes
“As I went out walking this fall afternoon,
I heard a whisper whispering.
I heard a whisper whispering,
Upon this fine fall day…
As I went out walking this fall afternoon,
I heard a laugh a’ laughing.
I heard a laugh a’ laughing,
Upon this fine fall day…
I heard this whisper and I wondered,
I heard this laugh and then I knew.
The time is getting near my friends,
The time that I hold dear my friends,
The veil is getting thin my friends,
And strange things will pass through.”
The Veil is Getting Thinner

Learn Religions: Samhain Rituals and Ceremonies
By Patti Wigington
Updated on June 25, 2019
Samhain is the time of year when the nights grow darker, there’s a chill in the air, and there’s a thinning of the veil between our world and the realm of the spirits.

Chakras are the primary energy centers of our body, and when they’re flowing freely, we tend to feel light and well. When one is blocked, however, we can feel off in a range ways, depending on which chakra isn’t flowing.

Exemplore: Working With the Element of Air
LYDIA WORKMANOCT 13, 2023
What Is the Element of Air?
The element of air is a central element in witchcraft. It possesses a projective energy and is associated with motion and flying. Are you hoping to get the ball rolling in some area of your life? You might want to work with the element of air. Air surrounds us. It is not fixed to the ground. It is an element of movement and rapid change.

Patheos-Pagan: My Samhain Incense Habit

My Samhain incense habit
I think this time of the year is also good for a clear out of your magical herbs cupboard. I have lots of new batches of dried herbs harvested from my garden over the last couple of months and no room for them

Inner Journey:
PROCRASTINATION
“Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.”
— Don Marquis
Most of us struggle with procrastination — the ‘I’ll do it later’ syndrome. If this is one of your key time wasters, take time to become more aware of your behaviour.
Identify what you are procrastinating.
Identify why you have not done these things. Seek out your deepest reason.
Is there a fear underlying your reason? There is for most people.
We typically procrastinate because of unclear goals, lack of information and/or skills, fear of moving into new territory, fear of failure or success, feeling overwhelmed, lack of time due to over-commitments, poor timing, and general disorganization.
“Much of the stress that people feel doesn’t come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they started.”
— David Allen
And, just for fun: “The best labor saving device is doing it tomorrow.”
— Source Unknown

Today’s Tarot: Wednesday
The Judgement; However the day goes, you’ll be able to enjoy yourself by noticing how big a part is played by beauty in your daily existence. There is no such thing as a senseless act of kindness, since it has such power to feed and empower your soul. You can salvage the messiest situation or cheer up the unhappiest person by appreciating the wonders that are all around
Today’s Tarot; Thursday
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.
