The Beaver Moon

Image
The Beaver Moon is the name traditionally given to the full moon that occurs in November . Its origins are rooted in Native American and early Colonial American traditions, which named full moons to mark seasonal events. The name “Beaver Moon” reflects the time of year when beavers are most active, preparing for the coming winter. It was also the season when trappers would set beaver traps before the waterways froze over, as the beaver’s thick winter fur was most valuable at this time. In a broader sense, the Beaver Moon represents themes of preparation, protection, industriousness, and transition into stillness . It aligns with nature’s rhythm of drawing inward and conserving energy as the dark half of the year deepens. As such, the Beaver Moon carries potent spiritual symbolism related to inner work, emotional resilience, and the wisdom of grounded, practical action .

What is Magic and Manifestation really?

Image
Do you believe in magic? Do you believe in manifestation? If you have reached this blog page, well done, you are beginning to progress along your path. You should know that the power of the universe resides within you. Let's start by stating a fact: Yes, manifestation can be achieved. In fact, more easily than you might expect. But the term manifestation has been linked with the term magic, which fans the flames of doubters. Do not be a doubter! We must dismantle the myths. What do you think magic is? What do you think witches, wizards, sorcerers etc are? Historically, witches were relatively few, and stayed undercover for fear of persecution. These 'magical' people were aware they had power. But know this: Every single person has this power within them. The only difference is that those who call themselves witches, sorcerers, etc, are aware of it. So the term, witch, is simply applied to someone who has become aware of their power. So let's raise above...

Tarot Card: The High Priestess

Image
  The High Priestess – Card II (Rider–Waite Tarot Deck) Brief yes/no interpretation: Yes General Meaning The High Priestess is a symbol of mystery, intuition, and the inner world. She stands as the guardian of the subconscious mind and the veil between the known and the unknown. When this card appears, it invites stillness, introspection, and trust in one's inner voice. Unlike the Magician, who acts outwardly, the High Priestess listens inwardly. She teaches that truth often lies beneath the surface and must be felt rather than reasoned. This card often indicates that answers are available, but they must be accessed through intuition, dreams, and inner knowing, rather than through logic or external action. Symbolism The Rider–Waite version of The High Priestess is deeply embedded with mystical, religious, and esoteric symbols, many of which originate from Kabbalah, ancient mystery schools, and astrology.

The Spiritual Meaning of Samhain

Image
Samhain (pronounced "sow-in") is a deeply spiritual and ancient festival celebrated from sunset on October 31st to sunset on November 1st. It originates from the Celtic tradition and marks the final harvest, the end of the light half of the year, and the beginning of the dark half. It is one of the four major Celtic fire festivals (along with Imbolc, Beltane, and Lughnasadh) and is considered by many Pagans and Wiccans as the New Year in the Wheel of the Year. Samhain is both a festival of death and transformation and a time to honor the ancestors . It is a moment when the natural world begins to die back, the veil between worlds grows thin, and the spiritual and physical realms are more easily bridged. Seasonal and Historical Context In ancient times, Samhain marked a critical transition in the agricultural calendar. The last of the crops were brought in, livestock were culled to ensure survival through the winter, and communities prepared for the hardships of the cold se...

The Spiritual Meaning of Halloween

Image
  Halloween , celebrated on October 31st , is a deeply rooted festival with ancient origins that span across cultures, mythologies, and spiritual traditions. While today it is often associated with costumes, trick-or-treating, and spooky imagery, Halloween is much more than a modern holiday. At its core, Halloween originates from Samhain (pronounced "sow-in"), a sacred festival of the ancient Celts marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the darker half of the year. This time of year is considered a liminal period , a threshold between light and dark, life and death, seen and unseen. It is a spiritually potent moment when the veil between worlds is believed to be at its thinnest—allowing for communication with ancestors, spirits, and deeper layers of the self. Origins of Halloween The roots of Halloween can be traced to Samhain , celebrated by the Celts of ancient Ireland, Scotland, and parts of Britain. Samhain marked the end of the agricultural year , t...
