Wheel of the Year: Transition Between Sabbaths

Yule to Imbolc: Rest

During the thick of winter when it’s too cold to do anything and always dark, it’s the perfect moment in the year to rest. The focus is on relaxing, taking extra time to sleep and care for the body especially to not get sick. Winter is also ‘spa’ season because the air is so dry and harsh it’s a good time to soak in hot baths and scrub away dead skin and moisturize with protective lotion. Do not try to make new plans, yet sit home, rest and reflect.

Imbolc to Ostara: Cleansing

When winter thaws it’s a great time to clean the home and prepare for spring. Personally, I also like to do a body cleanse since I tend to eat a lot of processed (yet delicious ;-;) foods all year round. This also makes up for all the heavy foods I’ve been eating since Summer (all the BBQs) to Winter comfort foods. As I clean the home and get rid of stuff that has accumulated over the year, I clean the body. Also the focus is on cleaning the home as well. Breathing in the same air, especially if its full of dust, is really unhealthy and it’s good as the days are getting a little warmer to open up the windows for a few minutes to allow in fresh air to circulate. This is also the time of year I throw out old furniture, accumulated things and rearrange furniture in the room as well.

Ostara to Beltane: Sowing

Spring is a great time to germinate sprouts along with other seeds and clean the backyard or garden to grow plants. If you like to compost it’s a time to start mixing in the vegetable/fruit/plant scraps with the soil. Spring is also a great time to sow bigger changes in life as well. Something about the warm new season brings an air of flirtatiousness and ‘socialness’ that makes it perfect for making new friends or finding a partner. (Probably because people can finally come out of hibernation). It’s also a fantastic time to work on your image and portfolio and apply for long term jobs that begin in the summer or fall. Spring is the season for new beginnings and putting long term plans into action.

Beltane to Litha: Growing

A tradition I like to do on Beltane is repotting of plants and gardening. Repotting plants is a tradition I try to focus on every year because it’s very easy for house plants to die due to dead soil. Plus it makes the inside of the house super vibrant and lively to have fresh new soil in pots. From this point to summer solstice is the point of growth. Growth in the garden but also growth of personal goals. May and June feel like hectic months where there are so many events and opportunities to advance your work or change your social scene, that if I am not personally progressing, I focus all of my attention on my growth.

Litha to Lughnasadh: Thriving

Its the heat of summer! It’s time to get out and feel the intense hot energy and use its power to focus on goals and networking! Where I am there’s usually an exciting event every week where it’s an opportunity to make more connections and meet more friends but also since its warm and nature is so vibrant it’s time to take some days to relax and get away to enjoy the heat and life of nature. Go to the beach, go hiking, swim in a lake, sleep under the stars. Be active since the efforts will pay off.

Lugnnasadh to Mabon: Reaping

This is the time you earn what you’ve sowed both literally and metaphorically. If you have a garden its the time it will start giving back. If you are an active goer of a farmers market you will notice how beautifully abundant the stands are. If in Spring you’ve sent out tons of job applications, and in Summer got the job you’ve wanted and worked hard, then by now you should start seeing some results. If there are no results being seen it’s a time for reflection and re-strategizing. There is a second chance in this time to start again before the cold and the holiday season bulldozes through.

Mabon to Samhain: Harvest and Gather

This is the time to gather and harvest. Usually family tends to gather now since it’s the holiday season. There’s not much other than gathering to be done since family and holidays are bombarding you from all sides. Also there is an abundance of food. This is great to store for the next transition which is

Samhain to Yule: Preparation

This is the moment to prepare for winter. My wardrobe completely changes here, I take up knitting projects that were abandoned last Imbolc, and I store food and herbs for the winter to use. Also making preserves from things in the garden or hand knitting clothes make great presents for the winter holidays. This is also a time to prepare the garden for hibernation. Take in potted plants, harvest the last of the herbs and food (that are not potted). Make sure plants you do not want to die have a place to chill in the house.

Guys, I know I’m not active on here anymore but Im desperate.

My girlfriend got kicked out of her family home last year and is now trying to get back into college.

She is currently unable to take out aid due to being kicked out and her schedule confirmation payment is due on the 4th. We are in talks with the financial aid office, but they are currently closed for the holiday. Ultimately, we need to come up with $1200 before the 4th or she’ll be kicked out of school.

Please,if you can, help us because it is already hard for us to pay for rent and groceries so this is not really feasible in our current situation.

If you want to help, her cashapp is $catelynn0309

Doing an internship for the summer, so I thought I would start sharing my curriculum planning with you all to keep me on a better schedule

[graciesstudycorner]

remember when it was safe® to go outside and you could throw on a coat and grab your bag and take the bus downtown and wander around the street, maybe dipping into a few bookstores along the street, as the sky got dark and the air got that little bite of chilliness into it and you could flip through all the notebooks and paperbacks and touch things and have a conversation with the vendor and see their entire face and then go sit in a cafe and drink coffee and eat a bagel, bumping into people but not minding bc it wasn’t like they could give you a deadly virus, and then go home all happy and rosy-cheeked without a care in the world? yea, me neither.

100 days of productivity day 2/100

First off, sorry for the sporadic posting. I’ve been accepted into a pre-professional dance company so I’ve been really super busy, but today I worked on women’s studies, hung out with some friends, and attended my first company class. Overall school is going really really well!!

[graciesstudycorner]

dark academia but it’s online school

- waking up early in the morning to watch the sunrise, even though you don’t actually need to

- staying up late to read or paint because you don’t have to get up early

- handwriting assignments that should be typed and submitted digitally

- having a coffee cup with you, rather than a thermos because you don’t have to take it anywhere

- still getting ready and dressed so that you can feel focused on your work in the mornings

- emailing your teachers to see if they have any extra reading related to the topic

- turning in all of the assignments for the week earlier than the rest of your class because you wanted to finish them early

- not doing any assignments for the week because you were too interested in researching about different planets or the deep sea

100 days of productivity day 1/100

It’s the first week back to school! I have started at MTSU and so far I love it! Though I will admit it is a huge adjustment with all of the COVID policies being put in place.

How are you all doing this semester?

studyblr + places to study

university library: old soul, warm hands, autumn aesthetic, likes to be surrounded by books, the smell of books soothes them, the sound of papers shuffling is like home, loves spending time with friends, gets cold easily, watches more buzzfeed unsolved than studying

the commons: probably a stem major, studies better alone, sound of fingers tapping away on a keyboard, bright study spaces, in twenty orgs and running 19 of them, ambitious and knows what they want, stays hydrated, has the brightest smile, doesn’t leave the commons until closing, always brings lunch from home

dorm: cozy but a little messy, snacking while studying, likes people watching out the window a lot, waiting for the rain so they can study, found under a pile of blankets and three hoodies, listening to orchestral or instrumental music, language or literature major, netflix all the way, only leaves for classes and food and laundry

starbucks/cafe: busybody, has twelve exams to study for and they’re all this thursday, color coded notes, doodles in pages, not dressed for this weather, smells like vanilla from being in cafe all day, daydreaming a lot, twirling pens and pencils in hand a lot, procrastination but gets back on track asap, goes home from university every weekend, part of greek life

right outside the classroom / lounge area: frantic, came in their pajamas but mind your own business, ready to fight anyone and everyone but usually soft spoken, has a can of red bull in one hand and a triple shot espresso in the other, liberal arts major probably, somehow never procrastinates and always gets work done on time, overachiever in hs (ib, ap, dc, etc)

outdoors: brave soul with a big heart, refuses to walk on campus and either drives around a lot or skateboards, likes to be alone but appreciates company, tea > coffee, actually thinks the dining hall serves good food, warm soul, likes to party, part of university orgs (like floc or stugov), more bujo-ing than studying

study rooms: works well in groups, leaderly, good at math, teaching their study group probably, has lost their student id already tho, works out a lot, admirable, was chosen as “most likely to succeed” in hs, has four calculators with them, usually the dumbass in snapchat, biggest flex is “i made it on the best of college snapchat story,” owns a tiktok, quotes vines by heart,
