🐐THE GOAT HAS FALLEN 🐐
‘Study of Thistles’ by Sophia L. Crownfield, c. 1890.
Gods how is it solstice already? I feel like it was just November. Tagged by @goadthings to post four not selfies. Let's see what I've got...
1) my dog giving me the most epic side eye she can muster
2) the largest carrot from our garden. Was 100% used to make a "so big she could barely wrap her hand around it" joke.
3) a pretty sunrise I thought my friend would want to see
4) an amazing photo of the northern lights my friend took from the top of horsetooth
Tagging the first three people that come up with no particular direction

Where I'm from December...
Looks like... twinkly lights and cold. Is it me, or are the lights brighter the colder it gets? A brief dusting of snow graces the ground, but the serious storms will wait until the new year.
Tastes like... cough drops and sweets. We sip hot toddies when we're sick and hot buttered rums when we're well.
Smells like... cookies fresh from the oven. Bread fresh from the oven. Cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven. The appliance rules the month.
Sounds like... starlings chattering to each other. Geese and ducks fly overhead and complain about the cold nearly as loudly as those of us on the ground. Christmas music becomes inescapable and it slowly drives me to insanity.
Feels like... dry skin and chapped lips. The wool yarn I knit with scratches against my rough skin as I rush to finish my homemade presents.

Candle Holder Hack
Last weekend I just dropped wax into the bowl that held my advent candles and I thought it was going to work, but they kept falling down all week.
This morning I made little salt dough candle holders when I was freshening everything up: 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup salt, 1/2 cup water.
Where I'm from November...
Looks like ... A monochrome. Color has been siphoned from the land. Browns and grays take the place of the reds and yellows of earlier autumn as we slip closer to winter.
Smells like... Gently stale clothing. The sweaters emerge from storage. A pot of soup simmers on the stove and there's a loaf of bread in the oven. A warm hug in the form of aroma.
Feels like... A sigh. There is a sigh of relief as the season of rest moves in and a sigh of exhaustion as the preparation for the holidays commence.
Tastes like... Snow on the air. The air adopts an almost metallic tinge in the morning when frost lays thick.

when it rains you simply do not get a day
northern hemisphere people, are you okay??

Autumn Allies: Charms, Spells, Divination, and Plant Magic; Part 1
by Keziah Zibelmann
Autumn evokes thoughts of fallen leaves, barren trees, foggy mornings, and rainy nights, of damp earth, of browns and oranges and reds, of gray skies and shortening days, and of the beginning of the dark half of the year. It's a season often associated with death and dormancy, and while this is a fair association, it is also true to say that autumn is a season just as abundant with plant allies as spring and summer. With vegetables, nuts, herbs, and trees aplenty, autumn is an oft overlooked season offering bounty for practitioners of witchcraft, magic, and herbalism.
In this piece, you’ll find a collection of some of the natural allies and tools autumn has to offer, as well as possible uses for these allies. May this article serve all those who make use of it, and stay tuned for part 2.
[NOTE: The majority of these practices and beliefs were taught to me by my maternal grandparents and extended family members I grew up around. I'm from a multi-cultural family in the Southern US, so these customs will likely be a hodgepodge of practices similar or identical those within Southern folk traditions and traditions from Europe, particularly Central European, some Eastern European, and Irish and British traditions. While my main source of this piece is lived experience and things picked up from family and friends growing up, I will include a further reading section at the end of this post including books and/or articles that touch on similar practices.]

Ace of Swords and Four of Swords
Every time you wake up, there are more swords. Someone must be bringing them while you're asleep.
With the lack of SNAP benefits in the US hitting in a few days, welcome to No Snitch November. If you see somebody taking food? No you didn't. Taking formula? No you didn't. Taking diapers? No you didn't. When the government turns their back on our neighbors, it's our job to protect them.
You can only keep the last thing you ordered online if you can explain it to a medieval peasant. Keeping it?
yes

I remember october like it was yesterday
eating would be fine if it was only a recreational activity. instead, its a horrible sisiphean nightmare and you need to do it every day without fail on threat of pain and death
I was meeting a client at a famous museum’s lounge for lunch (fancy, I know) and had an hour to kill afterwards so I joined the first random docent tour I could find. The woman who took us around was a great-grandmother from the Bronx “back when that was nothing to brag about” and she was doing a talk on alternative mediums within art.
What I thought that meant: telling us about unique sculpture materials and paint mixtures.
What that actually meant: an 84yo woman gingerly holding a beautifully beaded and embroidered dress (apparently from Ukraine and at least 200 years old) and, with tears in her eyes, showing how each individual thread was spun by hand and weaved into place on a cottage floor loom, with bright blue silk embroidery thread and hand-blown beads intricately piercing the work of other labor for days upon days, as the labor of a dozen talented people came together to make something so beautiful for a village girl’s wedding day.
What it also meant: in 1948, a young girl lived in a cramped tenement-like third floor apartment in Manhattan, with a father who had just joined them after not having been allowed to escape through Poland with his pregnant wife nine years earlier. She sits in her father’s lap and watches with wide, quiet eyes as her mother’s deft hands fly across fabric with bright blue silk thread (echoing hands from over a century years earlier). Thread that her mother had salvaged from white embroidery scraps at the tailor’s shop where she worked and spent the last few days carefully dying in the kitchen sink and drying on the roof.
The dress is in the traditional Hungarian fashion and is folded across her mother’s lap: her mother doesn’t had a pattern, but she doesn’t need one to make her daughter’s dress for the fifth grade dance. The dress would end up differing significantly from the pure white, petticoated first communion dresses worn by her daughter’s majority-Catholic classmates, but the young girl would love it all the more for its uniqueness and bright blue thread.
And now, that same young girl (and maybe also the villager from 19th century Ukraine) stands in front of us, trying not to clutch the old fabric too hard as her voice shakes with the emotion of all the love and humanity that is poured into the labor of art. The village girl and the girl in the Bronx were very different people: different centuries, different religions, different ages, and different continents. But the love in the stitches and beads on their dresses was the same. And she tells us that when we look at the labor of art, we don’t just see the work to create that piece - we see the labor of our own creations and the creations of others for us, and the value in something so seemingly frivolous.
But, maybe more importantly, she says that we only admire this piece in a museum because it happened to survive the love of the wearer and those who owned it afterwards, but there have been quite literally billions of small, quiet works of art in billions of small, quiet homes all over the world, for millennia. That your grandmother’s quilt is used as a picnic blanket just as Van Gogh’s works hung in his poor friends’ hallways. That your father’s hand-painted model plane sets are displayed in your parents’ livingroom as Grecian vases are displayed in museums. That your older sister’s engineering drawings in a steady, fine-lined hand are akin to Da Vinci’s scribbles of flying machines.
I don’t think there’s any dramatic conclusions to be drawn from these thoughts - they’ve been echoed by thousands of other people across the centuries. However, if you ever feel bad for spending all of your time sewing, knitting, drawing, building lego sets, or whatever else - especially if you feel like you have to somehow monetize or show off your work online to justify your labor - please know that there’s an 84yo museum docent in the Bronx who would cry simply at the thought of you spending so much effort to quietly create something that’s beautiful to you.
