So I’m in the used bookshop, casually looking through spiritual section. Skimming through all the titles, lots of Christian books, books on Buddhism, few books on crystals, and then one single title on Greek gods: AND it just so happens to be on Hekate.
Not just is it on Hekate but it’s the one I’ve been eyeing for MONTHS online and never bought…
It was 24 dollars that I did not have, so I continued walking the store *ding* I get a notification that I got some money from a friend.
Enough money to buy lunch, so I head out get some lunch…along with lunch a fortune cookie that read: “you know what you want, now go out and get it”
Now I am a proud owner of the book I’ve been waiting to get for so long.
Entering Hekate's Garden: The Magick, Medicine & Mystery of Plant Spirit Witchcraft by Cyndi Brannen
Thank you Hekate 🖤

Samhain
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ────── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧From the evening of Tuesday, October 31st, 2023 – Wednesday, November 1st, 2023.✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
The period of time to release anything that is holding us back. A time when the spirit veil is thin and the spirits of our deceased loved ones are close to our physical realm. This is the perfect time for us to communicate with the universe and any ancestor you miss. Here are some ideas on how to spend your Samhain and how to decorate your altar!
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ Activities✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
✦Have a bonfire
✦Give fall offerings
✦Engage in divination -- Past, Present, and Future spread.
✦Host a dinner
✦Make Moon Water
✦Set out a portion of your feast at your altar
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ Altar Decorations✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
Crystals:
✦Amethyst
✦Black Obsidian
✦Citrine
✦Bloodstone
✦Serpentine
✦Black Tourmaline
Herbs:
✦Mugwort
✦Cinnamon
✦Rosemary
✦Roses
✦Bay Leaves
Decorations:
✦Pumpkin
✦Cauldron
✦Pictures of passed loved ones
✦Fall Leaves
✦Crescent Moon figurines
✦A statue or figurine of the deity/deities you worship
Personally, I have a statue of Freyja on my altar and my preferred method of divination is reading my runes.
I hope this season brings you harmony and prosperity and that you have a great Samhain! Bless be!

🕯️ vnm 🃏 cshpp 🔮 gfndme ☕
options and photos of my equipment (& cute pets!) beneath the cut:
deck options:
standard smith-waite: tiny (smaller than a US quarter), pocket size (comparable to a business card), and standard size
nonstandard smith-waite: the somnia tarot by nicolas bruno (incredible photography project. eerie, dreamlike, liminal, yet the physical props give it a more grounded, tangible feel than your average deck.), the tattoo tarot (stunning art, if you like clean but complex designs, classic playing card artwork, or traditional western tattoo art, this deck will really resonate with you.), the literary tarot (each card depicts classic literary characters from around the world; deck sales benefited charity. my personal favorite. every detail is carefully crafted to appeal to book lovers. elaborate, shiny, magical. also they gave odysseus top surgery scars)
specialty decks: the caretaker (@cryptotheism, formerly @normal-horoscopes)'s normal tarot deck (completely original oracle deck, feels liminal and dark, but somehow peaceful; great for someone pondering deep mysteries or looking for advice in hard times), moreno & quijada's sonoran tarot (smith-waite's major arcana only; stunning and vibrant watercolors of sonoran desert wildlife. really showcases the power and wonder of the natural world. local purchase from indie artists who I've personally met)
if you'd like me to use a specific tarot spread template, please let me know. otherwise i will choose the best option for your query + number of cards. you can also pick a spread mat, if you like! you don't need to purchase enough cards to fill the mat; i can get creative with the placement. just let me know if you want the floral mat or the bunny mat:
other options:
pendula: metal (this was a gift and i don't know what it's made of; brass maybe? gold in color.), howlite, glass beads with sea turtle scene
crystal chips: red jasper, various quartz, flourite, lapis lazuli, lace agate, tigers eye, sunstone, sodalite, bismuth. all stones can be thrown, or you/i can choose 5-10 specific stones that resonate with your query.
runes: elder futhark, white clay, handmade. wyrd optional.
my kitty cat, nachtus:
nacht came into my life through my current girlfriend, who has had him since he was born. every time she went into the room with his litter, he scrambled up her pant leg like he knew she would be his favorite person. he's about 2 years old now, and loves cuddles, belly rubs, q-tips, waking up our boyfriend in the middle of the night, bothering people while they're gaming, and sitting on my gf's shoulder like a parrot.
my puppy dog, misha:
misha came into my life through my current boyfriend, who has had him since he was a puppy. he was a rescue, along with his brother oakley, who went with my boyfriend's sister. misha is a chug (chihuahua-pug mix) and is estimated to be around 8 years old. he loves cuddles, being swaddled in blankets, barking at strangers, lying on the softest pillows he can find, and zoomies!
thanks so much for taking the time to read this. it means more than you know.
