🌕 Beaver Moon Ritual — Coming up on Nov 5 🌿

This full moon invites us to gather, secure, and prepare — just like the beavers building their lodges. As the nights draw in and winter whispers at the door, this is the moment to anchor what nourishes us, release what drains us, and step into a season of grounded strength.

🌕 Beaver Moon in Aries ♈ · November 5th

This full moon burns bright with Aries fire — awakening passion, desire, and courage. Emotions may rise, instincts heighten, and our inner spark calls for expression. Yet Ta**us whispers beneath the flames, reminding us to ground that energy into something lasting and real.

🔥 Let the fire move through you — with purpose, not chaos.
🌿 Build stability around your desires

Join us at The Village Square Apothecary on Nov 5 for a mini-moon ritual (herbs, tea, candle magic!) or pick up a “Winter Readiness” herb mix to honor this lunar moment.

Let’s create a sanctuary of comfort, clarity, and community under the Beaver Moon.

🌿✨

💀🌺 Día de los Mu***os: Honoring Our Loved Ones 🌺💀

As a proud Mexican, Día de los Mu***os is more than a holiday—it’s a tradition that runs through my heart and my family’s history. It’s a time to celebrate life, remember those who came before us, and honor their stories with love and gratitude.

For me, it’s about:
• Creating an ofrenda: A space filled with photos, candles, flowers, and the favorite foods of those we’ve lost.
• Sharing memories: Telling stories and laughing about the lives our loved ones lived.
• Feeling connection: Knowing that those we’ve lost are still with us in spirit, guiding and watching over us.

This tradition reminds me that even in loss, there is beauty, joy, and family. 🌸💛 Whether you celebrate with an altar, a candle, or a quiet thought, take a moment to honor those who shaped your life.

💀 Life is to be celebrated, love is to be remembered. 💀

🌕🍂 Honoring Samhain: Welcoming the Dark Half of the Year 🍂🌕

As October wanes and the veil between worlds grows thin, Samhain marks a sacred turning point — a time to honor ancestors, release what no longer serves us, and set intentions for the months ahead. 🌿✨

Here are a few gentle ways to celebrate and connect with the spirit of the season:

🕯️ Light a Candle for Your Ancestors
Honor loved ones who have passed by lighting a candle or setting up a small altar with photos, offerings, or mementos. Offer gratitude for their guidance and presence.

🌾 Release & Renew Ritual
Write down what you’re ready to let go of — fears, habits, or heavy emotions. Safely burn or bury the paper as a symbolic act of release, making space for new growth.

🍎 Feast of Remembrance
Prepare a warm, hearty meal with seasonal foods like apples, pumpkins, and grains. Set a place at the table for ancestors, or share stories of those who came before you.

🌙 Connect with Nature
Take a quiet evening walk. Notice the scent of fallen leaves, the chill in the air, and the stillness of the turning season. Let nature remind you of the beauty in cycles of life and rest.

✨ Create or Renew Protection Charms
Use herbs like mugwort, rosemary, or sage for cleansing and protection. A small sachet or smoke cleansing ritual can refresh the energy in your home.

As you celebrate, remember that Samhain is both an ending and a beginning — a time to rest, reflect, and prepare for renewal.
