My meditation spaces smelled strongly of fresh oranges this morning. It was really lovely. There are no oranges or orange-scented products in the house. Went back in an hour later, no trace of the scent.

Writing the second phase (Ownership) of Shadow Work in my book Shadow Herbalism, and I wanted to make an important note here:
'Monsters' are not defined by thoughts. They are defined by actions. Just because you have bad thoughts does NOT make you a bad person.

For those who practice green witchery, do you find that plant spirits retreat in the winter months? Of course annuals are fleeting and present for one season, but what of the deciduous trees and shrubs? Or perennial flowers? What's your experience with reaching these spirits in winter?

OMG. I pulled 4 of Pentacles in a reading yesterday and it just didn't make sense to me. But with *this* perspective, it makes SO MUCH sense. Thank you @ritualreflections.bsky.social for sharing this.

This is just my third knitting project. I'm so excited to be learning cables. My grandmother was an incredible knitter and made the most beautiful cables. I can feel her watching, smiling. (Although she probably has some thoughts about my tension, LOL!)

Your heart can soften toward difficult ancestors, without welcoming them into your space. You can have empathy for their struggle and still keep strong boundaries. Compassion is not an invitation; it need not make you vulnerable. Your heart is your own.

Amazing. In a pre-pandemic world, before chronic health issues and allergies, I would have sold all my possessions for a plane ticket to Germany to experience this.

The garden is brown and crunchy with frost upon us in the evenings. But this nasturtium is defying the rules; exploding with verdant leaves and bright blooms, climbing up surrounding shrubs toward the waning daylight. I don't want to let go the sun either!

This is a great read (even though I've never seen The Shining, LOL!)
🎃 It’s Halloween, and the veil is thin. My latest post dives into The Shining, ancestral patterns, and the astrology of Samhain. Are you the caretaker—or the curse-breaker?

The cheap, supermarket mums planted last year, regrew this year and bloomed beautifully. The secret is to keep them cut back until end of July, for lush blooms in the fall.

I did an Earth Energy Connection session with Katrina @greenspiritcraft.com recently and it was amazing! She validated connections I already sensed, and helped me see how to grow and deepen the bond I was building with plant spirits.

My love for hydrangeas runs deep. They are steadfast, blooming through drought and deluge. This species begins green-tinged white, and slowly turns light pink, then dark as the season passes. They are never more stunning than in the most somber pink at season's end.

Let me be clear. As someone who has been professionally involved with the biodefense / biosecurity sector for nearly 20 years, and has worked on biological risk analysis for Covid-19 since early 2020, reducing one's risk of being infected is not health anxiety. It's just smart.
