This phase symbolises the final stage before the end of a project, the waxing gibbous is pregnant with your plans and intensions you set in the new moon until they are born at the full moon.

🌔Waning Gibbous moon
Introspect. After the full moon we enter the waning half of the lunar cycle. Waning energies repel rather than attract. When doing meditation and divination this is a time better served for introspection rather than looking forwards to the future. Think about the plans and intensions you set during the new moon, cultivated during the waning phase, and completed during the full and be grateful. Release and let go of what foes not server you and absorb all the good you achieved during the full moon.
Cleansing negativity
Undoing curses
Letting go

Take time to rest and reflect, contemplate and solidify your transformation. Prepare new seeds to be plated soon in the new moon.

Hades is found in the sensation of being enveloped in the warmth of a gentle, long-awaited embrace, but still having chills racing up your spine as if a blanket of snow rests upon you. Shocks of cold like icicles sprouting from your skin along the bone, breaking through the supple flesh like a cypress sapling from the freshly turned earth.
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but this feels vaguely relevant…

November Magical Dates and Astrological Transits
Welcome to the deep darkness of the year. November we get plunged into the dark quarter getting us in our hibernation mode and focusing on the realms within. It’s a great time of the year for magic in the household (known and tagged sometimes as Cottage Witchcraft: witchcraft encompassing magic indoors, in your bedroom, kitchen witchcraft, bath witchcraft, cleansing and crafting etc.), shadow work and resting. It’s also a great time to take up a hobby craft as you can focus your creations and learning on gifts for Yule to come.
This month is nearly nested between two Full Moons but the previous full moon reached opposition on the 31st so technically the moon at the end of November is not a Blue moon. However the moon at the end of November is a Blood Moon meaning it’s a Full Moon Eclipse that will cast the moon in a red shadow. The themes of this month will take us through Scorpio’s shadowy introspective period helping us to understand where our energy and sense of freedoms may be repressed then optimistic Sagittarius season helping us to focus on our dreams and how we can work towards manifesting them. There are a lot of surprises coming with dynamic Uranus in retrograde influencing a lot of planets which will lead up to the full moon eclipse no doubt bringing a lot of changes and sudden endings that no one can predict. Get ready for your life to be upgraded!
1st - ☾♉ Samhain 🎃 Mercury rx in Libra squares Saturn in Capricorn
We will still be under the influence of the full moon as it’s in mid-transit in Taurus. Today Mercury rx in Libra will square Saturn in Capricorn bringing up themes of restriction and our mental barriers. With mercury in retrograde it’s a good time to reflect on how these mental barriers can hold us back and why we feel oppressed by them. Especially since Samhain is a good time for shadow work and overcoming mental obstacles, it’s a good day for meditation and introspection on how we may harbor negative beliefs that keep us imprisoned. (Especially in regards to our relationships, coworkers and authority). With the full moon conjunct Uranus RX we may have gotten themes of material or superficial things that we value that could either be restricting our freedoms or holding us back. The next day with the Mercury rx square with Saturn we will dive further into our subconscious to focus on our mental blocks and restrictions. Since Samhain is a good day for shedding and letting go this is great energy to reflect on and release for our personal freedoms to emerge. Take a moment today to write down what you’d like to free in yourself. You will see later on it will help ;)
Additionally Blessed Samhain!

Soul Cake Recipe and Spell for Samhain
basically if disney tanked tomorrow and never made any content again i would point and laugh and cheer and sing and roast a marshed mallow over the fire, oh what a beautiful sight, oh what a beautiful world where art could be art again
To anyone who thinks "oh, but I like Marvel/Star Wars/the animated canon," I have good news! Lots of other people like these things too! In fact, so many people like these things that, if Disney folded, someone else would snap the licences right up! In fact, I can confidently say that if all copyrights were cancelled tomorrow, you would have *way more* Star Wars movies, and they would be allowed to take actual chances in terms of their narrative and character decisions! You don't actually *need* an enormous multinational monopoly named after a long-dead founder to bring you content featuring characters and scenarios created by other, often long-dead, people! You don't *need* someone charging you rent for something that would otherwise be free! In fact, you need that like you need a hole in the head!
Keep in mind that Disney is the reason that we’ve had a 20 year pause in stories entering the public domain, at the cost of so much culture that could have been produced, all for the sake of their bottom line.
How to feel like a Greek Goddess:
Wear white billowing dresses that gather delicately around your ankles
Spray your pillows with essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus to soothe you into the arms of sweet sleep.
Keep fresh flowers in every room you dwell
Wear perfume with tuber rose and jasmine so that when your lovers lips graze your neck they breathe in delight
Walk bare foot through grass, let them bathe in life
Have a bath filled with almond milk to soften skin and rose petals for beauty
Gold jewellery to adorn your body
Apply a shimmering body oil so that when your skin catches the light, their mortals eyes can tremble before you.
Always walk with your shoulders back and head held high, you are a queen and queens bow to no one.
Apply lipstick in the shade of your enemies blood and smile before them
Heels to announce your presence
Twist your hair into an elegant up-do so that they me see your ethereal face.
Eat wine and cheese, reclining on a soft cushioned couch before an open window
Classical music to compliment your old soul
Learn languages and speak them with conviction
Dance like a swan delicately beneath the moonlight
Pluck the sword from your back and slay the thoughts that plague you.
Ok but: Persephone wasn’t “kidnapped and raped”. She was given by her familial Patriarch in marriage, and then “abducted” in accordance with traditional Ancient Greek marriage customs at the time.
Which Means: Persephone’s “abduction” was both legal and moral according to Ancient Greek law structure and morals; the only legitimate fault, according to their time, was that Zeus didn’t give Demeter the “what’s up” about it- and that wasn’t a legal or moral failure, but a personal one. Also consider: Hades was, by all Ancient Greek accounts, considered a perfect, doting, kind, considerate, and loving Husband who ruled equally with her- and she was one of the few figures in mythos who actually gained more individual agency and autonomy after marriage, than was previously held as single.
Also Important to Note: The earliest versions of Persephone’s myths neither mention her being abducted, nor include the “seasonal separation” from her Husband; they were later modifications of her mythos.
Moral of the Story: You can absolutely recognize that ancient cultural traditions are bad by today’s moral and legal standards, and are definitely not how things should be done today- but you can’t read and interpret the myths of ancient cultures through the lens of modern morality, divorced from their original cultural contexts and systems, and claim you understand them.
Persephone’s myth is just one whose messages change when read within its original correct cultural contexts. But all myths are like that. Every last one of them, down to the very drop.
