The Beaver Moon gets its name because it is the time of year when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges, having laid up sufficient food stores for the long winter ahead. During the fur trade in North America, it was also the season to trap beavers for their thick, winter-ready pelts. 

Other celebrations:

• Lunantishees

November 11th

Also known as: The day of the Sidhe

This day celebrates the Lunantishee Faeries & honors the sacred blackthorn tree that they protect. It is said these faeries dance around their host blackthorn tree or bush by the light of the full moon in which they worship. The Lunantishee are closely associated with moonstone as their name of Moon-Sidhe or moon faeries suggest. These faeries are intensely protective guardians who highlight to us the need to protect our homes & our personal energies/ourselves.

In some traditions people would leave offerings like cakes, milk, honey or ale to avert any mischievous behavior from the faeries & if you had a blackthorn tree leave blackthorn blessings upon you.

During this time it is advised to not pick, cut or prune these plants under any circumstances or else misfortune would be placed upon them.

•Night of Hecate

November 16th

Though many choose to honor the Goddess Hecate during this day, there doesn't seem to be any historical evidence suggesting this particular day has any traditional associations or events & likely was mistaken from Hekate's Deipnon which takes place during the dark phase of the moon. However modern practitioners use this day to honor Hekate despite this.

Some celebrate by having a feast filled with wine, mushrooms, bread & more while also leaving some at the threshold of their front door to symbolize the crossroads between indoors and outdoors.

Peter: woah this is so cool! A version of Wanda who’s also a Spider person?!

Wanda: thank you Peter. I call myself the Scarlet Spider.

Peter: well you and Y/N make an adorable couple.

Wanda: thank you.

Y/N wraps her in a hug…

Y/N: what can I say? I got wrapped up in her web. And I haven’t regretted it since.

Wanda: Y/N literally fell into one of my webs

Y/N: I meant to. I needed a reason to talk to you.

Read in 2023:

Over the years, Mika had embraced all the things that made her different and had discovered that she liked herself very much. But what was that worth without human connection? How was it possible to live, truly live, without the companionship of other people, without a family formed in any of the thousands of ways families could be formed?

‘Philip never could have changed and that’s why he’s tragic’ no!!!! Philip absolutely could have changed, that’s why he’s tragic! this man spent 400 years marinating in the culture and experience and people of the place that he was going to commit genocide in and he never once allowed himself to even consider the possibility that everything he was doing was wrong. he had all the time in the world and chose not to.

“I can’t transform the world, Jamie. The world’s too big and too messy and too stubborn.” “Who said anything about transforming the world?” He shrugged. “What about just making it a little better? And then a little better? And then a little more, until, one day, maybe long after we’re gone, it has transformed?”

Bindrun Lantern.

Helps in conscious dream travel and in the astral. Does not let you get lost, points the way, and helps you maintain awareness.

Draw it on yourself before you go to sleep and activate it with your breath. You can draw with moon or lavender water, or try drawing with your favorite parfum in a roller (usually called natural or oil spirits). You can just put on a photo.

The stav is being tested I will be grateful for your feedback after use
