I don't normally care much for my Facebook Memories, but today I saw one that made me think.

Did you know that in the witch's calendar Halloween marks the end of one year's cycle, and the start of another?

I'm pulling back the curtain today. You may have wondered why I'm always so determined to put a picture of EXACTLY the card I drew in my Magic Mondays email! Or, well, maybe you haven't. There's a lot on everyone's minds right now. But there IS a very important reason why I never use a generic "3 of cups" picture when I'm actually pulling from my Illuminated Visions Deck, and why I wouldn't pull an AI image of "herbs" for the card I pulled yesterday.

There are things all over your life and world that are already magical, but that you rarely notice, or just don't know how to tap into. That's the message of this week's card: The Herbs From Herbana Witch Oracle Deck by Alice Cuidi & Cecilia Lattari Herbs are mystical, magical plants that can be used to heal, soothe, and energize our bodies, if only we knew the mystical magical ways they work! Right? Think again. Most of the herbs that you'd find in a magic shop or for that matter on a...

I remember the first time we talked about your work life balance, and you were already doing so well. Not only were you crushing it at work, but you were also monetizing your hobbies, and volunteering, and taking classes. Of course you didn't have a work-life balance problem! But, also... You were eating your lunch in your car in a nearby parking lot, because even with your door closed colleagues would come in and interrupt you while you were on break. And you were holding your pee for way...

Every time you've compromised your values in order to keep the peace Every time you held your tongue to appear "professional" Every time you stayed at work instead of taking the day to go do that thing you really wanted to do... You taught your brain to be compliant. Every time you swallowed your own feelings to take care of someone else's Every time you dropped everything to go grab them a glass of water Every time you cancelled your appointment because "something came up" that wasn't even...
