#Halloween new year

[thedarkmaidenn]

👻 It’s pretty much spooky season and I just wanted to hop on here and explain why so many people consider Halloween to be their New Year. October is everyone’s favorite month and Fall is a season loved by many. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense for the year to end and begin on Halloween. It’s called Samhain (pronounced Sah-Win) and it’s one of the biggest celebrations if you follow the Witches Year.

🍂 On Halloween (Samhain) we lay to rest all that we’ve struggled with over the year. We focus on death and rebirth, what must be left behind in the old year so that new things may grow in the new year? Throughout November-January the Earth goes dark and so do we. This is a preparation period, the preparation for spring, where new seeds are planted for our future. During this time we self reflect, we discover new parts of who we are, we retreat and we put to use the wisdom acquired in the old year so that we may grow even further in the new year.

❄️ In Winter we retreat. We cleanse ourselves of the old, we let die what must die and we pluck the weeds of the soul so that new seeds take root. This is a time for self reflection, family, creating warmth for ourselves when earth cannot and it heightens our appreciation for the warmer months. Shadow work, honest self reflection, cleansing and nurturing the self are all major parts of Winter and the beginning of the year.

🌱 Then in Spring, things start to slowly come back to life. Earth prepares to wake up and so do we. When spring time rolls around, we’ve left behind toxic patterns and behaviors and will replace them with new life and new ways of living. We plant our seeds of intent and interests. We speak to the gods/goddesses and tell them what we wish to bring to life and we make our plans to do so. The goal is to prepare for the season of Life, which is summer.

🌻 When summer rolls around, we’re buzzing. Earth is finally warm enough to enjoy again and we spend a lot of time outside. Our skin is kissed by the sun and the seeds we plant in the spring begin to sprout. The habits we worked hard to break in the winter are finally behind us and we can step into a new chapter of self. We bring to life our distant dreams and we manifest that which our hearts long for the most.

🍁 Summer comes to an end, which is where we are right now. We’re in the middle of summer and fall, life and death. We’re learning how to say goodbye to the warmth and the life that surrounds us. We know that soon it will be back again, and that there is more inner work to do now. We give thanks for all that was given to us in the spring and summer. We look back at all we’ve manifested for ourselves, even the smallest of things. We say goodbye to the Sun God as the Dark Goddess takes back her throne and we prepare for death once more.

♎️ Libra Season, which is from September 23rd to October 23rd, prepares us for Scorpio season, the season of death. Right now in the yearly cycle we should be reflecting on that which no longer serves us so that we may remove it from our lives during the New Year.

🦋 My inner self has changed drastically ever since I began to follow the natural rhythm of life on earth. Following the wheel of the year has helped with my seasonal depression too. Transforming is a slow process but it’s possible, you just have to be patient with yourself and the world around you. If you feel like something is missing in your life, if you’re trying to change but have no idea how, look into the Wheel of the Year, and on this Halloween, treat it as a new year and ask spirit for guidance. Step into synchronicity with Earth because she is the ultimate mother, the ultimate nurture, the greatest life we know. She will never steer you wrong, she will always ensure that you stay on track. That’s why Halloween is the New Year, because It makes natural, perfect sense for it to be. Because long ago our ancestors made it that way for a reason, and now we have to honor that again. January New Year is fun and all, but Halloween New Year is real and truly life changing. Give it a try.

This day after mothers day, and every other holiday where you're running to the grocery store the day before/day of/day after said holiday, please for the love of God be so very kind to your grocery store employees

Some of us are the only person, yes person singular, running three, yes more than one, departments.

Some of us are doing this with no holiday pay for the minor, but busier, holidays.

Some of us have never been home with our families on these holidays while you're scrambling to get home to your family.

Some of us are barely making $11 an hour.

Some of us are very tired.

Some of us are me.

Be so nice to me.

Please.
