What the Earth Needs....

The Earth needs more people who raise and love farm animals without killing them, who are kind to every living being, who befriend insects instead of walking on them, who celebrate every season, who smell the flowers as they bloom in Spring, who take care of their garden in Summer and soak up the sun, who harvest their crops in Autumn and collect fallen colored leaves and who breathe in the cool, crisp air in Winter as they stick their tongues out to catch snowflakes.  The Earth needs more people who run freely in the fields and meadows, laughing their lungs out, who spoil and kiss their household pets throughout the day, try as hard as they can to save the bees, who hug old, ancient trees, who listen to the howls of the wind and the sound of the rain, who wake up at the crack of dawn to birds harmonizing and sometimes to absolute silence.

The Earth needs more people who cook for their loved ones to make them happy and without wanting anything in return, people who walk barefoot in the forest, feeling the earth, dirt and grass on their skin, who plunge into the salty ocean or who put their toes in a lake, a creek or a river, admiring and taking in the beauty of it all, who hang their clothes outside to dry in the natural fresh air and who sing and talk to their plants every chance they get.

I’m feeling a lot of really big energy today. Like something very big is coming. And I’m trying to separate out my ego. Which you know, the ego wants to immediately come at it from a place of fear & survival.

It feels like- past the tipping point which isn’t bad it’s just very different

It’s from a few years ago, but is a nice sentiment for the time in between Samhain and Yule. 

Witch Tips: Between Samhain and Yule

NOVEMBER 3, 2013 ~ WITCHESBREW

Last night as I got ready to meet up with some friends, I watched my neighbors put away the last of the Halloween decorations. And today when I went to my local drug store, I watched a worker put up the first holiday decorations.  For Pagans, Samhain and Yule are two distinct holidays with separate messages.  But unless you follow the astrological holidays*, you’re in this weird in-between moment.  The rest of the world seems to be preparing for a joyous season, but you’re still embracing and dealing with the dark of the year.  Here are a few ideas to celebrate this time and transition to Yule.

Take Time for Yourself: The holiday season gets crazy.  Give it a month, then there will be family gatherings, office parties, and school productions.  Especially if you are an introvert, this can be hell.  So this month it is totally cool to turn down a night out and watch a couple of movies at home.

Start Gathering Gifts: Screw waiting for sales.  Sit down and think of a reasonably priced gift for everyone on your list.  Then make or buy it accordingly.  The item will be way more meaningful than if you wait until the last minute.

Begin a New Practice: This is the Witch’s New Year, a perfect time of year to begin a big project or learn a new skill.  So go for it!  Look for classes in herbs or tarot or meditation or whatever.  Something else that would be good is to start a research project, whether it is about your family history or death rites of 8th century Icelandic peoples.  Dive into something you are passionate to explore.

Get Away from Technology: It’s getting cold.  In the coming months you will be spending tons of time in front of your computer or television screen.  While spending time in nature may not be an option soon, look for activities outside of your iPad.  Some suggestions: reading, yoga, dance classes, meditation, anything involving food, and exploring your local area.

Build Your Confidence: You know, it is easy to feel dreary if it’s cold and grey outside.  So consider how your thoughts, especially about yourself, are affected by the change of seasons.  If need be, make a point to get regular haircuts or to buy a new lipstick.
