ThoughtCo: All About Incense
For thousands of years, people have used fragrant flowers, plants, and herbs as incense. Using smoke to send prayers out to the gods is one of the oldest known forms of ceremony. From the censers of the Catholic church to the Pagan bonfire rituals, incense is a powerful way to let the intent of mankind be known to the gods and the universe.

Spirit Library: September 2019 Energy Report
We made it through August and its powerful new and full moons but before you heave a sign of relief know that its energy is going to be pivotal in September and through the rest of the year. We’re on the final stretch of 2019, leading us to the important, historic, and rare January 2020 aspects. As I was considering what to write for this energy report, this quote from Robert Frost came to mind,

Today’s Deity: Chinese Gods and Goddesses: Heroes, Legends, and Gossips
Chinese gods and goddesses have changed over the millennia-long period we recognize as the history of China today. Scholars recognize four different types of Chinese gods, but the categories have a considerable overlap:

Pink Color Meaning – The Color Pink
The color pink represents caring, compassion and love. The pink color stands for unconditional love and understanding, and is associated with giving and receiving care. Since pink is a combination of red and white, both colors add a little to its characteristics.

Natural Living Ideas: How To Harvest Dandelion Roots & 7 Ways To Use Them
For centuries, dandelion has been embraced by herbalists and natural living enthusiasts to treat everything from liver problems to digestive issues.
Every part of this healing weed is edible – from the blossoms and leaves right down to the oft forgotten roots. However, it’s these deep roots that contain so many of the plant’s health benefits. Not only are they a rich source of vitamins A, B, C and D, as well as minerals such as iron, potassium and zinc; but the bitter substances in these tubers also aid in detoxification and liver stimulation.

MNN: North Carolina’s wild horses will ride out the hurricane ‘butts to the wind’
As Hurricane Dorian heads up the East Coast, animal lovers have expressed concern about the wild horses that make their home along the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
The horses won’t be evacuated; they’ll ride out the storm using a method they’ve used for centuries. The horses will huddle together “butts to the wind,” bracing themselves against the weather.

EarthSky News: Moon near Saturn on September 7 and 8
Look for the planet Saturn in the vicinity of the moon as darkness falls on September 7 and 8, 2019. Saturn is actually a bit brighter than a 1st-magnitude star, but this world still might be hard to see in the moon’s glare. If so, try placing your finger over the obtrusive waxing gibbous moon for a better view of Saturn, the most distant world that you can easily see with the eye alone.

Patheos-Pagan: When Magick Is Not The Answer
There are times when magick is not the answer. Yes. I know some of you are gasping and shaking your heads. However, I learned this lesson years ago. Experience tells me if the heart or mind are conflicted, the spell isn’t going to work or at least not in the way you think it should.

Inner Journey:
MAKE FRIENDS WITH TIME
“We race to win, but at what price? Driven by the threat of time, we wonder why we feel so empty at the end of action-filled days.”
— Diana Hunt
Do you fly through each day with your eyes always on the clock? In western cultures, we’ve been taught that we need to impose our own order on life. As a result, we think we need to control every aspect of our day.
How might you enter into a new relationship with time? How might you take back the power you’ve given to the clock?
This is the time of your life. How are you spending it?
“When busyness is the measure of time, no matter how much time exists it is never enough.”
— Diana Hunt

Today’s Recipe: Air Fryer Acorn Squash Fries
I love acorn squash for its nutty flavour, lovely texture, and high fiber/vitamin content. They’re especially awesome when turned into fries. Here, I’ve used my air fryer to make them quickly. If you’d rather make them in your oven, place them on a baking sheet and follow these same directions, but cooking for a total of 40 minutes.

Daily Wisdom

Teachers
“An understanding heart is everything in a teacher… One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.”
-Carl G. Jung (1875-1961)
We have teachers all throughout our lives. I can remember just a handful of the ones I had while I was in school, and that is because I knew that they cared about me. As an adult, I studied at The Healing Arts Center, and my teacher there was Louise Taylor. I am so grateful to Louise for sharing so much of her knowledge and wisdom with me. And she taught me, and all of her students, by example as much as by her classes. Louise is a wonderful, caring, compassionate mother, friend, and businesswoman. She radiates integrity, creativity and love. Those are qualities of a good teacher!
