ThoughtCo: Spirits of Land and Place
Many Pagans work with spirits – often, this is focused on ancestral spirits, or even spirit guides. Typically, these types of spirits are rooted in our belief that each human being has a soul or spirit that lives on long after their physical body has left.

MBG: How To Bottle Up Potent Lunar Energy By Making Your Own Moon Water
Full moons are intense times of culmination. Moon water is a tool that can amplify that energy even more: It’s simply water that has had time to sit under the light of the full moon and soak up some of its power. Here’s your beginner’s guide to brewing it and use it during the next full moon.

Daily Good: Remembering Our Way Forward
What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez –
Remembering Our Way Forward
“Perspective has carried me through a year that has been marked by the pandemics of Covid-19 and racism, political strife, and an escalating climate crisis. Ive held close as gently as possible reliable truisms: Change is the only constant. Life tends toward life. I affirm: I’m not alone. In the end, death comes to us all I have only to decide how to live life now. Showing up for myself, for others, and for what I care about with all my human imperfectness makes me more alive. I ask myself: What is the opportunity? What remains true?” More in this piece from Gratefulness.org. { read more }
Be The Change
What are your hopes for your life and the lives of those you love?

Do you ever struggle with the meaning of your existence?
Do you feel lost? Does the question, “Why am I here?” take away your peace?
During COVID-19, you got a break from your daily routine (and probably felt useless).
These times made me restless too. My existence felt confusing. The disturbance pushed me to seek emotional and material shelter in the form of: eating (mostly junk food), gossiping, shopping, and scrolling through social media for hours.

EarthSky News: Full moon, faint eclipse, November 29-30
In North America, we often call the November full moon the Beaver Moon or Frosty Moon. In the Southern Hemisphere, where it’s the opposite time of year, the November full moon is a fixture of the spring season rather than of autumn. But no matter where you live worldwide, this November 2020 full moon shines directly in front of the constellation Taurus the Bull, and presents the third and final full moon of this Northern Hemisphere autumn or Southern Hemisphere spring.

Patheos-Pagan: Gardnerian Wicca: Outdated and Debunked?
Recently, an Instagram follower asked me an excellent question. They asked, “What would you say if someone told you that Gardnerian Craft is, in part, based on almost outdated and debunked academic books on witchcraft?” What a loaded question! But a good one, nonetheless.

Inner Journey: FOLLOW YOUR OWN PATH
“Life is complex. Each one of us must make his own path through life. There are no self-help manuals, no formulas, no easy answers. The right road for one is the wrong road for another … The journey of life is not paved in blacktop; it is not brightly lit, and it has no road signs. It is a rocky path through the wilderness.”
— M. Scott Peck
We each have our own pathways to develop both personally and spiritually. They are based on our character and past experiences. No one else can identify our paths for us. Tune in to your inner guidance system and follow its direction.
“What every man needs, regardless of his job or the kind of work he is doing, is a vision of what his place is and may be. He needs an objective and a purpose. He needs a feeling and a belief that he has some worthwhile thing to do. What this is no one can tell him. It must be his own creation.”
— Joseph M. Dodge

A Note from the Universe
When giving careful and calculated thought on how else you might see certain situations differently than you now see them — including your entire life, for that matter — please keep in mind, Cat, that occasionally being on “the fringe,” is good.
Real good.

Industry
“There is no substitute for hard work.”
-Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931)
Good advice from someone who knows! We can take Edison’s word for it because we know he worked hard. And we know the work he did produced some amazing results! But, Edison didn’t just work hard; he worked smart. He was organized, and had a plan, and he didn’t give up

Daily Tarot: Wheel of Fortune
It could be hard to sit still today and every little distraction may look more like an invitation to take a break or start the next thing. Get a lot done anyway by concentrating on short tasks and short conversations. A checklist helps keep things smooth and organized. Afterward, maybe take a nice long walk, stretch those legs, and shake the day’s dust off your shoulders
