Hey friends! Long time no see! I pretty much didn’t blog for the entire month of October… I don’t have a good excuse except taking on too many projects and not being able to manage my time very well. This blog is truly my passion project so it kills me when it’s the thing that has to take a back burner, especially during THE WITCHIEST MONTH OF THE YEAR. (I’m seriously so bummed that I didn’t get any good Samhain posts up, although I did write a little about how modern witches celebrate Samhain over on Armorbelle.com if you want to give that a read!)

I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things and finding ways to balance my part-time job, my freelance work, and everything else I need to do to live. My priority right now is catching up on the freelance stuff I’ve fallen behind on, because that pays the bills, and working on finishing up Practical Magick for Modern Witches: Part Two, which launches November 18th and is available for pre-order now! I might be scarce until then, but I’m not dead, I promise.

In the meantime, here are a few random favorites I’ve been loving lately!

1. Dose of Paper makes the most beautiful, incredible custom journals. I just commissioned one from them and I can’t wait for it to arrive so I can share it with you!!

2. Did you hear that James R. Eads is doing another run of the Light Visions Tarot?! This is probably my holy grail tarot deck and I’m so excited to finally have the chance to get my hands on a copy!

3. I’ve been reading a lot of what Layla Saad has been writing about race and racism, particularly in the spiritual community. See her wise words on her website, Wild Mystic Woman, or follow along on her Facebook. We white women have a lot of work to do.

4. Also relevant, this article from Asali Earthwork: Black Women and Femmes Aren’t Only Relevant When We’re Angry.

5. Thinking of hopping on the travelers’ journal bandwagon… This lilac one from NayaPaperie is so up my alley!

And that’s about it for me! I’m recovering from a bad virus that completely knocked me off my feet this week, so I’m enjoying taking it slow and drinking hot tea. I hope you’re having a wonderful week, and that November treats you kindly! <3
