Perfect ♡

October.
I don’t want to be strong anymore. I want to surrender. I want to fall in love with all of the beautiful things I enjoy in my life everyday. I don’t want to be the one that has to carry more than what fits in my hands. I don’t want to put up a fight. I want my silence and disengagement to speak the words louder than I ever could by trying to explain. I don’t want to harden my heart after a lifetime of it be broken over and over. I want to allow a new softness to settle into me. So that every ounce of pain I feel moves through me with the awareness that that pain comes from love and can return to love and not anger or resentment. This is the altar of my heart.

“That, I think, is the power of ceremony: it marries the mundane to the sacred. The water turns to wine, the coffee to a prayer.

The material and the spiritual mingle . . .
What else can you offer the earth which has everything? What else can you give but something of yourself? A homemade ceremony. A ceremony that makes home.”

I really love this!! Just come out of a Constellations Circle and saw this. Feels fitting!

The Eye of Winter

Finished. Thor battles the Midgard Serpent beneath a raging sky, the Storm God locked in his eternal struggle with chaos. Above him, the Winter Goddess Skadi watches in silent translucent calm, her spirit woven into the mountains and snow. She is the stillness that endures while storms break, the final breath of winter before the return of light. ⚡❄️🌙

This piece marks the turning point between endings and renewal, where frost gives way to flame, and the world holds its breath before Spring emerges.

When you were 7 ♡

Tonight, the Hunter’s Moon rises, the full moon following the Harvest Moon.

Long ago, its bright light guided hunters as they gathered food for the coming winter, when fields were bare and nights grew cold. This moon glows with clarity, preparation, and renewal. It is a reminder to focus your energy, release what no longer serves you, and gather the strength you’ll need for the season ahead.

Step outside tonight, watch it rise in fiery gold, and feel the rhythm of the ancient world as it still moves across the sky.
