Finding Balance and Magick in the Turning of the Seasons
What a glorious Thanksgiving weekend it was — full of good food, laughter, and golden autumn light! But the true highlight for me? Watching my youngest “monster” (as I affectionately call him) cross the finish line of his very first half marathon!
It was nothing short of epic — especially when I think back to three years ago, when an ATV accident crushed his ankle. He was pieced together with pins and determination, and to see him run 21 kilometres with strength, focus, and sheer tenacity brought tears to my eyes.
Proof, once again, that the human spirit is nothing short of miraculous.
The Libra New Moon — Returning to Center
As we move into the Libra New Moon on October 21st, we officially close Eclipse Season and step onto a brand new path.
Libra, ruled by Venus, invites us into harmony and balance. When the world feels like it’s spinning too fast — when responsibilities pile up, when deadlines and to-do lists start whispering louder — Libra gently calls us home to our center.
This is a time to pause, breathe, and ask:
✨ What does balance look like for me, right now?
✨ Where am I holding judgment — of myself or others — that I can lovingly release?
✨ What three small actions can I take today to restore harmony in my body, mind, and soul?
Even amidst the uncertainty that this New Moon brings (and there is a lot of planetary activity stirring the cosmic pot), balance is the thread that holds it all together.
Gratitude, too, helps us find our footing — honouring how far we’ve come and trusting that we are exactly where we need to be on the path forward.
Samhain Whispers and the Scent of Woodsmoke
And oh, can you feel it? Halloween and Samhain are almost here — that delicious threshold between worlds.
I absolutely adore this time of year: the costumes, the pumpkin carving (we created some wonderfully weird ones this weekend!), the crisp morning air, the smell of wood smoke drifting through the night, and the satisfying crunch of leaves under my boots as I wander.
Samhain (pronounced Sow-een) marks the third and final harvest, the Celtic New Year, and the time when the veil between worlds grows thin. It’s when we honour the ancestors, release what no longer serves us, and step into the mystery of transformation.
Nature mirrors this perfectly — trees shedding their leaves, the earth turning inward, and us doing the same. For me, “death” isn’t something to fear. It’s a release — of old stories, habits, or ways of being — so something new can emerge.
Samhain carries a deep, delicious energy: potent, mysterious, magical. It’s an invitation to turn inward, light a candle, and listen for the whispers of your soul.
And yes, my Samhain Bundle is coming soon — filled with rituals, reflections, and celebrations to help you honour this sacred turning. It will be released on the New Moon, so stay tuned!
So, with visions of pumpkins dancing in your head, the crisp scent of autumn on the breeze, and the crunch of leaves beneath your feet — let’s walk together into this next chapter.
This week, there is no guided visualisation, thus, I invite you to gently call back all the pieces of you that you might have left at the coffee store, the school, in your car, at your desk and breathe them all back to you. As you breathe, see yourself filled up with glorious gorgeous white light and let it pour through you and out your toes. When you feel settled in your body, invite in the energy of Samhain, the wisdom of the ancestors, the thinning of the veil and gently ask them to guide you as you pick the card or cards that resonate for you.
Did you remember to pick?
Let’s go see who wants to guide you this week.
WINGED SEER
The Winged Seer is an oracle angel: a being who can see the weavings of energy and thus the way events are set to unfold if the current energies and paths are followed. She then sends you your messages clairvoyantly, through your ability to see clearly, although your visions may seem anything but clear. As you grow to trust your own clear-seeing moments, you will have brighter and brighter flashes of insight, and you will be able to see exactly what is going on within a situation, in a flash.
As so many people hide the truth, even from themselves, it can be hard to receive a visit from me, because I will help you see when someone is camouflaging and half-telling truths, and you will also have insights that seem to come from supernatural sources. It is as if you have changed sight; you can see further, higher, and more deeply within.
You will experience flashes of the future and sudden understandings of the past, and you will be able to foretell likely outcomes. I am the eye of Ra, re-creating your future, and the Adrinka, the protective eye, that watches over you while you sleep, and if you follow through on what you now clearly see, there will be illumination, victory, and wisdom. Trust that sacred Sight.
You have asked for more information, asked to discover what you need to know. Now that the information has come to you, you must be courageous and take action based on what you cannot “logically” explain! It is important, now more than ever, to be honest about what you can see – but most of all, to be honest with your own self.
WITCH AT THE END OF THE WORLD
Storms fly about her, electrical whips crack through the heavy air with their bites of fire, and she sits among them, hugging her hourglass, holding everything together till the force creating the change has done its work.
When the Witch at the End of the World makes her appearance to you, you will know that something’s time has come. There can be no more delaying, for the change has begun. So the best thing for you to do now is prepare for this change.
Find solutions to challenges that will come up when the change comes. You will be fine, by the way, and all will be well, but there will be a time of seeming chaos and difficulty. If you are prepared, and ready to let go and change, and let something end, the little witch’s countdown will not affect you as it will affect others who refuse to acknowledge that changes are coming and become fearful at their inevitable approach.
There is nothing to fear, but plenty to prepare for. You will be safe, and well, and very ready to embrace the new world.
I am not wicked, but I am a witch, and changes are made when the world bends and shifts. I hold this hourglass up to you now so you know that the time for an ending is almost upon us. You can see the signs all about you – the strange weather, the hurricanes, the cyclones, the earth changes all about us – but so many simply say I am wicked for showing you this. They blame me for what they call the catastrophes, and they ignore the signs. They are with you, and it is time to be ready. We are all about to experience a huge change – and it will be for the better. But while we hold on to the old, the storms will blast us, and the land will shift, and self-healing will look like destruction.
There is nothing to be frightened of; only a voyage to weather, and you’ll make it through to the other side of the storm. The changes are part of our journey to a fifth-dimensional world, of the shift to a more peaceful planet, where shadows and light are loved and accepted. All is well.
