The Season of the Witch is drawing to a close, babes! As the wheel of the year turns towards the dark season, now is the time to assess what is and isn't working in your magical practice—what big, juicy shifts have you made during this month of self-care? How have you been tending to yourself, and what practices will you carry forward with you throughout the winter season? What are you composting that no longer serves you? 

This week is all about creating rituals for change, celebrating your magic, and setting intentions for the witch's new year. As Samhain draws close, the veil between worlds is thinning. Reach for your ancestors and guides, and offer yourself a heaping dose of gentle magic this week. What cycles of transformation can you honor through your spellwork as we head into this final week of October? What are you ready to release, and what are you ready to call in? Where is your pleasure leading you next, babe?

If you've been following along with the challenge via your October self-care calendar, respond to this email or DM us on Instagram with a photo of your calendar-in-progress! Is this cutie marked up with stickers and big, juicy X's? Is it sitting on your fridge, your altar, or your bathroom shelf? We can't wait to see how you've been integrating this magic into your practice, and we'll be sharing your sweet photos this week as we close our the Season of the Witch!

A Spell to Level Up Your Self-Care

The autumn season is ripe with transformation; as Witching Season comes to a close, honor yourself and your intentions for the seasons ahead by creating a ritual for change. What new cycles are you ready to leap towards, babe? What needs extra care and attention before you launch into the next phase? What dreams are you beckoning towards you? Give your heart your fullest attention this week, and listen closely to what it has to say. 

Here are a few suggestions for creating a juicy ritual to release what no longer serves you and take the next step towards cultivating your pleasure and magic:

• Light a candle invoking ancestral protection, stoking psychic power, and opening portals towards your dreams. Charge your spell candle with visions of big shifts, energetic leaps, and a deep sense of belonging. 
• Plant a new herb friend in your garden (or in a pot to keep in your kitchen) and tuck a crystal laced with intentions of abundance, expansion, and creative breakthroughs into the soil. Tend to this plant ally joyfully throughout the new year!
• Create a luxurious ritual bath, filled with flowers, herbs, and salts. Correspond the plants and flowers of your choosing with your intentions for the seasons ahead!
• Do a deep clean (and cleanse) of your home as you prepare to receive the magic you're calling in. Create a blessed floor wash, burn an herbal smoke bundle, water your houseplants and thank them for their energetic support, tidy up any mess, and make your space pleasureful with candles, luxurious textures, and music!
