ThoughtCo: Thoth, Egyptian Scribe God of Wisdom
Thoth (pronounced “Toth,” rhyming with “both,” rather than with “goth”) was one of the most important deities of ancient Egyptian religion and worship. Thoth was known as the tongue of Ra, who had cursed him, and he often spoke on Ra’s behalf.

Daily Good: A Message About Messages
The complex meanings of a serious story or novel can be understood only by participation in the language of the story itself. To translate them into a message or reduce them to a sermon distorts, betrays, and destroys them. This is because a work of art is understood not by the mind only, but by the emotions and by the body itself. { read more }
Be The Change
Open one of your favorite books from a younger time in your life; a real book made of paper and ink. Dance with this book the way you would dance with someone you love. Then find someone to share this “felt” experience of a good story.

Elephant Journal: Empath 101: Stop Trying to Fix People who Don’t Want to Be, Didn’t Ask to Be, Saved.
Letting go of people who don’t want or need our help is probably one of the toughest lessons for empaths.
The sooner these highly sensitive and caring beings learn this lesson, the sooner they will free themselves from a responsibility that was never theirs from the beginning.

EarthSky News: Bright star Deneb transits at nightfall
In mid-October each year, the northernmost star of the Summer Triangle, Deneb, transits or climbs to its highest point in the sky at or near 7 p.m. local time (8 p.m. local daylight saving time). What does that mean for skywatchers? Only that this noteworthy star – this beloved member of the Summer Triangle – is shifting ever-westward in our sky as Earth travels around the sun. Its transit at nightfall is a hallmark of the year, marking a shift toward winter – or summer – on your half of the globe

Patheos-Pagan: The Scent of Magick
After working a full day at my shop, I get home smelling of candle smoke and incense. My hair holds the scent of magickal herbs. For days after working in the shop, my clothes will retain the smell of essential oils and amber.

Inner Journey:
WHAT’S OFF BALANCE?
“To do great work a man must be very idle as well as very industrious.”
— Samuel Butler
Spirit requires a balance of female and male energy, yin and yang, receptiveness and expression. Are you sensitive to intuition and inner guidance? Are you able to act on the guidance you receive? Seek to find a balance in being and doing in all areas of your life.
“The balanced energy is the birthing energy. I used to say that the birthing energy was all feminine — it’s not. You have to push and you have to be. It’s such a potent example of the dance of the feminine and masculine together, the dance that is the creative energy of life!”
— Joyce Irvine

Art
“Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.”
-Oscar Wilde (1854- 1900)
Every day, our creativity guides us. We are each an artist, and life is our canvas. Life is our instrument, our marble slab, our blank page. All the choices before us are the colors, the notes, the words. We are creating our life as we create a work of art. Let’s make it beautiful!
-Lissa Coffey

Daily Tarot: Death
There’s a sense of security in what is old, and with something new coming into your life it’s natural to be a bit afraid. Give this new situation a chance and give yourself time to get comfortable with the new conditions. It could be as simple as getting your hair cut or changing your glasses frames, but it could be much bigger than that.
