It’s that time of year when the night whispers, and the moon listens… 🌕
Halloween Magic
by Donna S. Conley
Once we ran beneath the moon, In costumes stitched with autumn’s tune. Paper lanterns, pumpkin grins, Laughter spilling through the wind.
The night would whisper, soft and near, While shadows danced with hints of fear. Leaves would rustle, stories told— Of witches young and spirits old.
Now grown, we stand beneath her glow, The same bright moon we used to know. The veil grows thin, the heart remembers— A thousand Octobers, flickering embers.
So light your candles, breathe it in, Let wonder spark where light’s been dim. The magic’s still here—quiet, tragic— Wishing you a night of Halloween Magic. 🎃
A Tradition for Your Becoming
As the season of shadow deepens, I recently learned of an old Glasgow tradition known as The 13 Magical Nights — a ritual of faith, reflection, and manifestation that bridges the Solstice and the turning of the calendar year. Here's my twist on it:
Between now and the Winter Solstice (Dec. 21):
Write 13 “I AM” or “I HAVE” statements — not wishes, but truths you are calling into being.
Don’t write them all at once. Write one at a time, as it comes.
Fold each and place it somewhere sacred.
Beginning on the Winter Solstice (Dec. 21st), burn one each night — without looking.
On the 13th night, unfold the final one. It reveals the seed you must tend this winter.
Give your words darkness and rest. For the one divinely meant for you — nurture it through winter. In spring, the world will help bring it to life.
