New moon, new year, new you ✨🪞
Hey peach,
Trick or treat?! You can decide for yourself once you reach the end of this newsletter.
Long-time readers and/or fellow witches will know that Samhain (or ‘Halloween’, as it’s also known) represents the third and final harvest of the year before we enter the long dark of winter. It’s like New Year’s Eve, really. The final notch in the wheel of the year before everything starts anew.
And that’s very timely because this Samhain takes place right before the new moon on November 1st. And, if ya didn’t know, new moons are the best time to set fresh intentions and make new beginnings. They’re also good for breaking up with your mortal girlfriend, but I digress.
All that is to say: this is a fantastic time to ‘reach through the veil’ and place your manifestation into the ether while the boundary is thin. As above, so below; as within, so without. It’s thought that what you put out there will be mirrored over here.
So, my only task for you this month is to think about your most aspirational self in the world of work or literature and how you can become that person.
Are there any writing habits or practices you want to try? New modes of thinking you want to adopt?
You could even write a pen portrait of yourself in your ultimate form, fold the paper towards yourself, and set it under a lit white candle (anoint the candle with peppermint oil if you’re feelin’ fancy).
See you on the other side, witches 😜
