Dark Moon Musings

Over the weekend we visited Honey Pot Hill Orchards 🍯
 
It was the perfect fall day spent walking through the fallen leaves, finding our way out of the Green Monster Maze, and enjoying apple c***r and freshly baked donuts! 🍂🍎 
 
If you happen to be in the area, I can’t recommend Honey Pot Hill enough! 🫶

🌾🍂 A little Mabon ritual for letting go that I did on Tuesday.

This corn husk doll carries what I’m ready to release: the things that no longer deserve a place in my heart or mind.

As the season turns, I’m choosing to loosen my grip on what I cannot control and make room for peace, and trust in what comes next.

May what I release return to the earth, and may I move forward lighter. On Samhain, I will burn or bury the doll, completing the ritual🕯️🌙

A little autumn magic awaits… 🍂✨ 
 
I made an Autumn Bingo to help us slow down, romanticize the season, and actually experience all the little things that make autumn magical. 🍎📚🕯️ 
 
From apple picking and cozy movie nights to seasonal rituals, foraging, tarot, pumpkin patches, and everything in between!  
 
How many can you check off before the season ends? 🍁 
 
Save this post, send it to your autumn-loving friends, and tag me as you complete your squares!

🌾 Planning for Lughnasadh 🌾

The First Harvest is just around the corner, making now the perfect time to begin preparing with intention. Whether you celebrate with an elaborate ritual or a quiet moment of gratitude, Lughnasadh invites us to pause and recognize all that we’ve nurtured and cultivated throughout the year.

Preparation doesn’t have to happen all at once. Start gathering seasonal decorations, plan a simple meal, refresh your altar, or spend time reflecting on the abundance already present in your life. Every small act of intention helps us connect more deeply with the spirit of the season.

Swipe through for ideas to help you prepare for Lughnasadh—from what to gather to reflection prompts and simple ways to celebrate.

🌻 I’d love to hear from you:
How are you preparing for Lughnasadh this year?

✨ Save this post to reference as the sabbat approaches, and share it with someone who might be celebrating alongside you.
