September Quotes
“Autumn arrives, array’d in splendid mein;
Vines, cluster’d full, add to the beauteous scene,
And fruit-trees cloth’d profusely laden, nod,
Complaint bowing to the fertile sod.”

Spirit Library: Inner Contemplation (a message from Kate Spreckley)
The incoming energies are intensifying in preparation for next week’s Full Moon and Equinox. For many this preparation entails a profound release of old emotions and a significant physical purge of that which is no longer needed. With this release deep inner shifts, realignments and adjustments will occur inviting a better understanding of ourselves and our purpose at this time

Cauldron
The cauldron is the vessel where magical transformation happens. It should be made of metal and have 3 legs. Offerings can burned in the cauldron, and it can be used for scrying. In many rituals it is the focal point. You can buy these, but you may have to hunt for them. Associated with the Goddess.

Elephant Journal: Bird Witcher: The Symbolism of 4 Birds who Inspire us to Fly Higher.
People bird-watch as a joyful hobby—to connect with nature, listen to the variety of a bird’s song, and observe their patterns and colors.
People who bird-watch are referred to as bird-watchers or twitchers. When I watch for birds, I refer to myself as a twitcher minus the “t,” a witcher (bird witch)!

The full moon falls less than two days earlier, on September 20. Thus, for the Northern Hemisphere, this upcoming full moon – the full moon closest to our autumn equinox – is our Harvest Moon.

Inner Journey:
TAKE TIME TO BE STILL
“Work is not always required … there is such a thing as sacred idleness, the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected.”
— George MacDonald
When was the last time you did absolutely nothing?
Our world is so addicted to productivity that we feel guilty if we’re not doing something. But taking time daily to be still and inactive opens us to the spacious present. It nurtures and restores balance. Give yourself a regular gift of inactivity.
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.”
— Sir J. Lubbock

Reliability
“Learn to depend on yourself by doing things in accordance with your own way of thinking.”
-Grenville Kleiser
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote several essays on “Self-Reliance” and this quote summarizes one of his themes: when we are true to our own beliefs, our own way of thinking, then we can depend on ourselves, we are self-reliant. We owe that to ourselves, we deserve it from ourselves.
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com
