Your Body Knows You Did Too Much: Listen Before Fall Arrives

WEBVTT

00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:04.500
Hello, welcome to Practically Magic. I'm excited

00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:06.360
today to be doing something a little bit different.

00:00:06.419 --> 00:00:09.019
We're gonna do some crafting today. So while

00:00:09.019 --> 00:00:12.039
I'm talking about our subject, I'll show you

00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:15.919
some things that we're making and talk about

00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:20.940
the Wheel of the Year turned to the harvest season.

00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:24.079
We're gonna start today's episode as we always

00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:26.780
do with pulling a card and today I'm using the

00:00:26.780 --> 00:00:30.780
Everyday Witch Tarot. We're in my dining room.

00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:34.159
So if you think it looks a little different or

00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:39.200
you Hear some odd noises here and there just

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:40.939
know we're in a different part of my house And

00:00:40.939 --> 00:00:43.039
that's why and that's what's gonna happen. Maybe

00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.679
we'll have guests joining us Unexpectedly as

00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:52.140
we're here in the middle of the house the hearth

00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:56.500
the central part of the house So the tarot that

00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:59.159
we're going to pull today if you haven't been

00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.780
watching my show. I pull a card and we're going

00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:06.920
to trust that this card is just right for you.

00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:09.799
And the message that it gives you is just what

00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.739
you need today, no matter what time of year or

00:01:12.739 --> 00:01:16.939
when you happen upon this episode. All right.

00:01:18.219 --> 00:01:20.599
And I never know what the card is going to be

00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.159
ahead of time. Only a few times have we pulled

00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:30.340
a card ahead of time. So, oh. Okay, I have a

00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:32.359
couple of background stories to go with this

00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.680
card. So if you are watching on YouTube, you

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:40.120
can see what the card looks like. This fantastic

00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:44.579
knight of cups riding a broom over shark -infested

00:01:44.579 --> 00:01:47.980
waters with his cup that is overflowing with

00:01:47.980 --> 00:01:51.019
heart bubbles. Do you know what this makes me

00:01:51.019 --> 00:01:54.129
think of? And I don't know if anyone else remembers

00:01:54.129 --> 00:01:56.629
this, but when I was a kid growing up, we used

00:01:56.629 --> 00:02:01.510
to listen to Dr. Laura. Yes, very conservative,

00:02:02.689 --> 00:02:07.689
AM radio. Dr. Laura, she wrote books like The

00:02:07.689 --> 00:02:10.310
Proper Care and Beating of Husbands. You can

00:02:10.310 --> 00:02:13.449
go ahead and comment and write in on your thoughts

00:02:13.449 --> 00:02:16.289
about that. I will probably agree with you if

00:02:16.289 --> 00:02:19.830
you have anything to say about good old Dr. Laura.

00:02:20.069 --> 00:02:23.349
But what I do remember... from growing up is

00:02:23.349 --> 00:02:25.750
that Dr. Laura used to say something to women

00:02:25.750 --> 00:02:28.930
about choosing a husband or choosing a mate,

00:02:29.250 --> 00:02:33.169
choosing a person to be their person. And she

00:02:33.169 --> 00:02:37.949
used to say this thing. Microphone's like creeping

00:02:37.949 --> 00:02:41.990
away from me here. She used to say this thing

00:02:41.990 --> 00:02:47.430
where she say. Pick someone who would swim across

00:02:47.430 --> 00:02:49.990
shark -infested waters to bring you a lemonade.

00:02:50.629 --> 00:02:54.030
Like, that's how you know that they were really,

00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:58.590
truly a committed, loyal, loving person to be

00:02:58.590 --> 00:03:04.009
your person, right? And not bad advice. I mean,

00:03:04.009 --> 00:03:07.169
overall, find someone who's really that committed

00:03:07.169 --> 00:03:11.210
to you. But there's a shark in the water on this

00:03:11.210 --> 00:03:15.710
card. And I do think of the night of cups as

00:03:15.710 --> 00:03:22.210
grand gestures of love, grand gestures of emotional

00:03:22.210 --> 00:03:27.110
commitment. So I think that works perfectly.

00:03:27.810 --> 00:03:29.750
A lot of times when I'm doing card readings on

00:03:29.750 --> 00:03:32.849
a live TikTok, I get a lot of questions like,

00:03:33.110 --> 00:03:35.849
is so and so really into me? Is so and so going

00:03:35.849 --> 00:03:41.449
to come back to me? I also happen to be on forums

00:03:41.449 --> 00:03:45.550
with people who are just at the beginning stages

00:03:45.550 --> 00:03:47.729
of engaging with witchcraft and energy work and

00:03:47.729 --> 00:03:50.870
things like that. And they will say, oh my gosh,

00:03:51.629 --> 00:03:54.210
I did a love spell and I asked so and so to come

00:03:54.210 --> 00:03:56.229
back to me and blah, blah, blah, and this and

00:03:56.229 --> 00:04:00.729
that. This really represents those like red flags

00:04:00.729 --> 00:04:04.129
in a relationship. I feel like even if it's not

00:04:04.129 --> 00:04:07.310
a romantic relationship, if it's something that

00:04:07.310 --> 00:04:12.030
you are invested in emotionally in a relationship

00:04:12.030 --> 00:04:15.229
of any kind, this would be the card suggesting

00:04:15.229 --> 00:04:18.910
to you that if they're just not that into you,

00:04:19.290 --> 00:04:22.329
if the evidence supports that you are far more

00:04:22.329 --> 00:04:25.110
committed and willing and putting in the effort

00:04:25.110 --> 00:04:28.110
than they are, then that's something to be aware

00:04:28.110 --> 00:04:31.980
of, right? So pay attention to when they're giving

00:04:31.980 --> 00:04:37.300
those grand gestures towards something that shows

00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:40.019
that, yes, they are just as emotionally invested

00:04:40.019 --> 00:04:44.279
in this relationship that you have as you are.

00:04:45.980 --> 00:04:49.939
And then decide what you're going to do with

00:04:49.939 --> 00:04:52.480
that relationship accordingly, I guess, would

00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:58.639
be the message today. So what are we doing in

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.639
my dining room today? Well, I thought it would

00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.620
be fun since when I'm recording this, we just

00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:09.420
had the weekend where August 1st, Saturday was

00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:15.980
Lunessa or La Masse or the mass. However, you

00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:20.819
prefer to pronounce it in all of the history

00:05:20.819 --> 00:05:23.379
and background and language and how that works.

00:05:24.259 --> 00:05:28.610
You can decide. But it is the harvest season,

00:05:29.029 --> 00:05:31.269
the first harvest season. So we talked a little

00:05:31.269 --> 00:05:34.670
bit about healing cycles when it comes to what

00:05:34.670 --> 00:05:37.029
it means when the wheel turns towards this time

00:05:37.029 --> 00:05:39.709
of year and what is it that we are focusing on.

00:05:40.889 --> 00:05:43.649
And we've had our dog days of summer, right?

00:05:43.649 --> 00:05:46.589
When Litha, summer solstice happened, we were

00:05:46.589 --> 00:05:52.310
kind of in a rest and see sort of sit back and

00:05:52.310 --> 00:05:57.220
watch, observe moment. This is the moment when

00:05:57.220 --> 00:05:59.879
in the turning of the wheel of the year, in the

00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.060
alchemical cycles of transformation, you might

00:06:03.060 --> 00:06:05.680
have set a lot of stuff down for the summer and

00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.459
not taken it up, taken up the mantle of working

00:06:08.459 --> 00:06:12.639
on it, but it's now all very much in front of

00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.639
you, like it's laid out on the table, much like

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.699
the table I have in front of me, which I'm going

00:06:18.699 --> 00:06:22.550
to show in just a minute. If you have all of

00:06:22.550 --> 00:06:25.230
this stuff that you've set down, you've said

00:06:25.230 --> 00:06:30.930
no to any new things for a minute to see what

00:06:30.930 --> 00:06:33.529
sort of things you want to pick back up. This

00:06:33.529 --> 00:06:36.649
is the time of sorting it out, right? A lot of

00:06:36.649 --> 00:06:39.449
times, reading tarot for this season, I might

00:06:39.449 --> 00:06:43.269
get a lot of sevens. Seven of pentacles is probably

00:06:43.269 --> 00:06:47.189
a great tarot card to associate with this feeling

00:06:47.189 --> 00:06:51.350
or this energy or this vibe of essentially Sort

00:06:51.350 --> 00:06:54.829
it out. What are you picking up? What are you

00:06:54.829 --> 00:06:56.970
going to invest your time and energy in? What

00:06:56.970 --> 00:06:59.889
lights your fire? And what needs to be set aside?

00:07:00.569 --> 00:07:03.029
You might love it all, but it doesn't mean it's

00:07:03.029 --> 00:07:07.129
all for you. So we're gonna be making bundles.

00:07:07.230 --> 00:07:10.370
I have some leaves that I foraged over the weekend.

00:07:12.110 --> 00:07:15.069
If you follow me on social media, you might have

00:07:15.069 --> 00:07:19.009
seen my Instagram. my TikTok at Prism Healing,

00:07:19.649 --> 00:07:22.790
where I showed a video that my husband took of

00:07:22.790 --> 00:07:26.689
me. He caught a little video of me out in the,

00:07:26.790 --> 00:07:29.850
we were at Bridal Falls, and here I was out there

00:07:29.850 --> 00:07:33.870
just like pulling Mullen out of the, out of the

00:07:33.870 --> 00:07:36.750
ground. You know what I noticed though, it's,

00:07:36.850 --> 00:07:40.069
we're in a drought, we're in Utah, and I noticed

00:07:40.069 --> 00:07:42.930
that the Mullen, or Mullen, however you pronounce

00:07:42.930 --> 00:07:48.459
it, It's not as vibrant this year, which is good

00:07:48.459 --> 00:07:51.579
because Molina is invasive. We don't want it

00:07:51.579 --> 00:07:55.180
to spread. It was brought here by settlers, like

00:07:55.180 --> 00:07:58.220
my own ancestors, and we don't want it to flower

00:07:58.220 --> 00:08:03.040
and spread. So I imagine if you live in a place

00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.420
like where I live, We're doing the environment

00:08:06.420 --> 00:08:08.639
as service by pulling all of that out of the

00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:11.920
ground before it flowers, before it spreads.

00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:16.199
So it's good. And it also makes perfect big,

00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.779
nice leaves for bundles that we're going to be

00:08:18.779 --> 00:08:22.220
making today. So I pulled a bunch of melon and

00:08:22.220 --> 00:08:25.839
the other thing is, is that it has nice big stalks

00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.339
with the flowers at the top and you pull those

00:08:29.339 --> 00:08:31.500
out and you pull all the leaves off and you.

00:08:32.259 --> 00:08:36.179
hang the stalks upside down, they make grate,

00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.860
which is torches, which I'll show you in a minute.

00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.759
So lots of great crafting can be done at this

00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:45.460
time of year. I'm laying out, I've already, ooh,

00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.820
look at this leaf is like double, doubled up.

00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.320
It's split in the middle. I don't think I've

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.649
ever seen that. That's interesting. You'll have

00:08:54.649 --> 00:08:56.929
to be watching instead of listening if you want

00:08:56.929 --> 00:08:59.970
to see what that looks like. But mullein leaves,

00:09:00.169 --> 00:09:03.210
mullein leaves, they are very nice and full and

00:09:03.210 --> 00:09:07.230
they are... I found a couple of good ones, but

00:09:07.230 --> 00:09:12.210
a lot of them were dry and brittle already. So

00:09:12.210 --> 00:09:14.809
it was kind of hard to find ones that weren't

00:09:14.809 --> 00:09:17.409
eaten up by insects or dried out. Here's one

00:09:17.409 --> 00:09:22.559
that's not so pretty. It's holes in it. Now,

00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.360
we're making smudging bundles for smoke cleansing.

00:09:25.700 --> 00:09:28.720
However, I need to just reiterate that for me

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.860
personally, it's important that when I engage

00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:40.679
with smoke cleansing, I try to be... honor more

00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:46.440
of what is... localized plants and herbs that

00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.559
are indigenous to my own homeland rather than

00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.899
something that is sacred to the indigenous people

00:09:52.899 --> 00:09:56.080
of this land of which I am not indigenous of.

00:09:56.620 --> 00:10:01.399
I try to engage with that appropriately instead

00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:06.529
of appropriating. I have been gifted and I have

00:10:06.529 --> 00:10:10.230
used white sage bundles. However, I use it very

00:10:10.230 --> 00:10:13.610
specifically for very specific purposes and aligned

00:10:13.610 --> 00:10:16.529
with what I'm given permission to use it for.

00:10:17.309 --> 00:10:20.409
I personally don't purchase them and use them.

00:10:21.370 --> 00:10:25.070
out of my own choice. So I do encourage you to

00:10:25.070 --> 00:10:28.289
kind of look at what would be appropriating a

00:10:28.289 --> 00:10:31.970
culture or a sacred practice that maybe your

00:10:31.970 --> 00:10:36.149
own ancestors didn't use. But we all do have

00:10:36.149 --> 00:10:40.029
a history in most cultures of some sort of smoke

00:10:40.029 --> 00:10:43.929
cleansing, smudging of some kind. Saining is

00:10:43.929 --> 00:10:49.909
what they call it in the Nordic. Nordic. Ancestry

00:10:49.909 --> 00:10:54.730
so I tend to call it that and today what herbs

00:10:54.730 --> 00:10:57.710
I have in association with that are going to

00:10:57.710 --> 00:11:03.549
be I collected some pine and juniper There is

00:11:03.549 --> 00:11:06.710
some white or I'm sorry not white white sage

00:11:06.710 --> 00:11:11.610
We were just talking about There is some Utah

00:11:11.610 --> 00:11:17.559
sage brush That's very prominent here that smells

00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:19.840
really good and can also be added to the bundles

00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:25.100
and burned. I would look into what that practice

00:11:25.100 --> 00:11:30.299
means because when I do home cleansings and I

00:11:30.299 --> 00:11:34.440
come and bring some smoke cleansing to use, I

00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.769
do not use it to clear the space. It purifies

00:11:38.769 --> 00:11:44.149
the air. There's a lot of science back to how

00:11:44.149 --> 00:11:47.429
smoke cleansing can be beneficial to the space.

00:11:48.269 --> 00:11:54.049
However, culturally and spiritually, just using

00:11:54.049 --> 00:11:57.409
saging as a way of cleansing a space is inaccurate.

00:11:58.169 --> 00:12:02.649
And so I would do your research, look into it

00:12:02.649 --> 00:12:06.269
more, but I will give you just a little bit to...

00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.399
as a jumping off point to your learning about

00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.840
it, is that a lot of times it was used to call

00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:17.759
in ancestors. So it would be more used as a bringing

00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:21.220
in the positivity or bringing in the protection

00:12:21.220 --> 00:12:26.740
and the affirmations of what the space is going

00:12:26.740 --> 00:12:29.679
to be, more of like the blessing part of the

00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:33.090
cleansing process. So when I go through a home

00:12:33.090 --> 00:12:36.250
cleansing session and I've done a couple in person,

00:12:36.509 --> 00:12:38.350
I can do them from a distance. I can just do

00:12:38.350 --> 00:12:40.789
them where someone orders a home cleansing for

00:12:40.789 --> 00:12:44.250
their address. I can do it from where I am for

00:12:44.250 --> 00:12:47.129
their space. I don't necessarily have to be in

00:12:47.129 --> 00:12:50.009
the space to do it, which is the way energy work

00:12:50.009 --> 00:12:53.870
works. But... I've done a couple of really great

00:12:53.870 --> 00:12:56.769
home cleansing and I have a certain process that

00:12:56.769 --> 00:12:58.929
I go through. One of the things that I make sure

00:12:58.929 --> 00:13:05.370
I do is I use sound to cleanse, drumming, bells,

00:13:05.570 --> 00:13:09.590
rattles, certain items and tools that I feel

00:13:09.590 --> 00:13:12.149
are perfect for breaking up negative energy,

00:13:12.629 --> 00:13:16.090
residual energy, the previous owner's fingerprint,

00:13:16.830 --> 00:13:20.690
whatever that might be in the space and banishing

00:13:20.690 --> 00:13:24.860
it. you know, letting it move on and then sort

00:13:24.860 --> 00:13:30.779
of opening up the space like a vacuum to then

00:13:30.779 --> 00:13:33.659
welcome in new energy and new space and so that's

00:13:33.659 --> 00:13:37.100
when I use the smoke for cleansing or more for

00:13:37.100 --> 00:13:39.100
blessing and protecting and saying and calling

00:13:39.100 --> 00:13:42.220
in this space is for love, this space is for

00:13:42.220 --> 00:13:45.519
the new owners, blessing the space for them and

00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:49.340
preparing the space for them to use it. So I

00:13:49.340 --> 00:13:52.860
would look into how you want to actually use

00:13:52.860 --> 00:13:55.820
your smoke cleansing when it's appropriate and

00:13:55.820 --> 00:13:58.860
what sort of rituals you want to cultivate from

00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:03.980
that. But I have picked some pine and some lavender.

00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:09.399
Here's some lavender I got permission to clip

00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:14.309
from some nearby spaces in my neighborhood. I

00:14:14.309 --> 00:14:17.389
will say also, if you haven't seen my previous

00:14:17.389 --> 00:14:21.789
episodes about root and ritual, the book was

00:14:21.789 --> 00:14:26.269
very powerful in being able to open up some ideas

00:14:26.269 --> 00:14:29.129
on how to engage with plant life when you are

00:14:29.129 --> 00:14:33.110
going to be collecting and foraging. It is really,

00:14:33.110 --> 00:14:37.370
really important that you tap into intention

00:14:37.370 --> 00:14:40.240
with collecting. the herbs that you're going

00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.639
to use. Even with the pine, I didn't clip the

00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:52.059
pine directly from a tree. I did just take what

00:14:52.059 --> 00:14:56.220
was fallen already. All right, so let's get to

00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:58.860
it. We are going to take some of these mullein

00:14:58.860 --> 00:15:03.320
leaves and lay them out. Everything is still

00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:10.580
wet or moist. from picking them. These are really

00:15:10.580 --> 00:15:13.500
great to overlap with each other, and I'm putting

00:15:13.500 --> 00:15:20.320
it all on a brown paper. So I'm gonna tilt the

00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.120
camera down just a bit so you can see the workspace

00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.500
that I'm working with. Okay, I'm gonna overlap

00:15:27.500 --> 00:15:32.399
these leaves a little bit. Couple different kind.

00:15:35.310 --> 00:15:41.230
And then the lavender smells really, really strong.

00:15:41.529 --> 00:15:45.549
And I had to wait until it was shady or evening

00:15:45.549 --> 00:15:49.409
before I picked from the lavender bushes because

00:15:49.409 --> 00:15:55.929
they have a lot of bees and other pollinating

00:15:55.929 --> 00:15:59.149
insects that love lavender bushes, which is great.

00:15:59.889 --> 00:16:03.450
Again, I only ask permission of the lavender

00:16:03.450 --> 00:16:10.509
bush. Can I pick some of these pieces? Pine is

00:16:10.509 --> 00:16:14.309
especially difficult because it's usually either

00:16:14.309 --> 00:16:25.789
takes a long time to dry or you're trying to

00:16:25.789 --> 00:16:29.690
like clip it from a tree and it usually is not

00:16:29.690 --> 00:16:34.970
going to be dried at all. Or these these pieces

00:16:34.970 --> 00:16:38.110
that are dried. I got this from fallen bushes.

00:16:38.269 --> 00:16:47.909
It's gonna be you know Very crumbly essentially,

00:16:47.909 --> 00:16:54.250
but we're rolling it up like a burrito We're

00:16:54.250 --> 00:17:01.509
gonna let the Mullen or Mullen leaves Kind of

00:17:01.509 --> 00:17:10.089
wrap around and give like a really tight See

00:17:10.089 --> 00:17:12.430
because I have some of the little bits exposed

00:17:12.430 --> 00:17:14.490
I'm going to grab a couple of leaves on the outside

00:17:14.490 --> 00:17:19.009
too And let them wrap around to keep them all

00:17:19.009 --> 00:17:34.170
bundled Nice and taint in there And then string,

00:17:36.049 --> 00:17:39.730
which I'm gonna want to wrap around the leaves

00:17:39.730 --> 00:17:44.369
and then I'm gonna also make sure that they tie,

00:17:45.450 --> 00:17:54.289
leaving a little, a little string to hang it

00:17:54.289 --> 00:17:58.809
with. Am I as good at talking and working as

00:17:58.809 --> 00:18:00.630
Martha Stewart does when she does her shows?

00:18:00.829 --> 00:18:04.390
Not so much. Not so much. As soon as I get going,

00:18:04.589 --> 00:18:06.869
I'm losing track of what I was saying. That's

00:18:06.869 --> 00:18:09.849
right. Can't all be good at everything, right?

00:18:10.410 --> 00:18:15.789
So I just go through making sure that these get

00:18:15.789 --> 00:18:18.930
tied with some string access left over so that

00:18:18.930 --> 00:18:21.970
I can hang it upside down. I just hang it in

00:18:21.970 --> 00:18:29.150
my art room, honestly. With all the bundles and

00:18:29.150 --> 00:18:34.910
my art paintings that are drying and then tie

00:18:34.910 --> 00:18:44.650
it so that they can hang and dry. Make sure you

00:18:44.650 --> 00:18:47.789
use string that can burn and not leave some kind

00:18:47.789 --> 00:18:52.369
of toxic feeling things in the air when you're

00:18:52.369 --> 00:19:00.730
burning it because essentially you will be burning

00:19:00.730 --> 00:19:07.210
after it's dried, if you're smudging. So I'm

00:19:07.210 --> 00:19:08.670
tying this at the ends, and then I'm going to

00:19:08.670 --> 00:19:14.450
leave some string to hang it so that it'll hang

00:19:14.450 --> 00:19:19.849
upside down. I can do it this way. And if I want

00:19:19.849 --> 00:19:21.849
it nice and pretty, I just cut the ends so that

00:19:21.849 --> 00:19:26.950
they are nice and tidy. I have a very colorful

00:19:26.950 --> 00:19:32.259
string. to use for these bundles today. Okay,

00:19:32.500 --> 00:19:36.619
so I could use the white sage. I could use the

00:19:36.619 --> 00:19:41.400
Utah sage brush. I could take the lavender. Whatever

00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.099
it is you're using, make sure that you actually

00:19:45.099 --> 00:19:52.180
can burn it when it's dried, right? That's the

00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:56.509
idea. I may or may not be able to get the camera

00:19:56.509 --> 00:19:58.829
back to where it was originally, but that's okay.

00:19:59.309 --> 00:20:03.230
We're just finishing up. Yeah, you may have little

00:20:03.230 --> 00:20:07.430
buggies. I just have ants to crush as they go

00:20:07.430 --> 00:20:11.990
along. Send outside. All right friends, so this

00:20:11.990 --> 00:20:15.480
is our art project today. We are doing a little

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.799
bit of crafting, which is also perfect for the

00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:21.799
season for a Luna set is to harvest, to harvest

00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:23.799
what it was that we've been working on growing

00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:27.319
and cultivating throughout the year. And so whether

00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:31.460
that's physical plants that you have been cultivating

00:20:31.460 --> 00:20:35.200
and that you are doing something with at this

00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:39.910
time, remember what harvest seasons. were about

00:20:39.910 --> 00:20:43.269
to our Indigenous ancestors, to those that took

00:20:43.269 --> 00:20:45.970
the opportunity to come together from their various

00:20:45.970 --> 00:20:48.750
places where they farmed or where they lived.

00:20:49.289 --> 00:20:51.609
And it was time to kind of gather as a community.

00:20:51.650 --> 00:20:55.230
So you see a lot of county fairs at this time.

00:20:55.509 --> 00:20:59.109
It's a great opportunity to show off what you

00:20:59.109 --> 00:21:01.369
feel you've been working on and cultivating.

00:21:01.390 --> 00:21:06.170
So if it's in business or in relationship or

00:21:06.170 --> 00:21:12.170
in family or whatever it is that you feel like

00:21:12.170 --> 00:21:14.990
has been your area of focus and goals that you've

00:21:14.990 --> 00:21:18.150
had since the planting season, this is a really

00:21:18.150 --> 00:21:20.390
great time to give yourself a pat on the back.

00:21:20.809 --> 00:21:25.470
During this cycle and when the autumn equinox

00:21:25.470 --> 00:21:29.990
comes at the end of September, it's sort of that

00:21:29.990 --> 00:21:35.480
end of summer. You know feeling that we all get

00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:40.700
that fall is on the way shorter days are coming

00:21:40.700 --> 00:21:46.140
and We get to reach out and Connect again with

00:21:46.140 --> 00:21:49.519
our community. So if you felt a little out of

00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:53.900
out of place or Disconnected in some way either

00:21:53.900 --> 00:21:56.799
spiritually or from family or from you know,

00:21:56.819 --> 00:22:00.880
the earth. This is a great time to reconcile

00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:08.470
that difference basket weaving, crafting. It's

00:22:08.470 --> 00:22:12.170
what it's all about at this season. So lean into

00:22:12.170 --> 00:22:20.750
it, enjoy it. I am going to personally recommend

00:22:20.750 --> 00:22:24.069
that if you did not take the opportunity to slow

00:22:24.069 --> 00:22:26.529
down in the summer and at the height of summer

00:22:26.529 --> 00:22:29.730
when it was time to rest and set things aside

00:22:29.730 --> 00:22:32.890
and you didn't do that, You need to check in

00:22:32.890 --> 00:22:35.890
with yourself and ask if you are really feeling

00:22:35.890 --> 00:22:38.869
burned out if you're feeling like you just kept

00:22:38.869 --> 00:22:42.630
going and you burned the candle at both ends

00:22:42.630 --> 00:22:46.670
when you felt that Maybe you should have taken

00:22:46.670 --> 00:22:50.789
some time for yourself there is going to come

00:22:50.789 --> 00:22:56.049
a sort of I was gonna say come to Jesus, which

00:22:56.049 --> 00:22:58.630
is a strange thing for a pagan to say I understand

00:22:58.630 --> 00:23:01.880
but It is kind of like a come to Jesus moment

00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:06.500
where you are going to be confronted with the

00:23:06.500 --> 00:23:09.599
choices that you've made. If you feel that your

00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:13.519
body is wearing down, you're getting sick, you

00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:20.559
are getting resentful, angry, burned out, irritable,

00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.019
you start feeling a lot of those things during

00:23:23.019 --> 00:23:26.680
this shift of the season, this is great awareness.

00:23:27.900 --> 00:23:31.940
By the way, I am saying this from personal experience

00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:34.779
that that is kind of what I did. I looked at

00:23:34.779 --> 00:23:37.819
my summer and I said, gosh, I really need to

00:23:37.819 --> 00:23:39.740
clear my schedule because I've got way too much

00:23:39.740 --> 00:23:43.660
going on. I am. As I've mentioned before on the

00:23:43.660 --> 00:23:46.160
podcast, a stay -at -home mom, essentially, I

00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:48.660
am the primary caregiver of my three boys and

00:23:48.660 --> 00:23:52.299
their home for summer. So the fact that I could

00:23:52.299 --> 00:23:54.940
think that I could, I don't know, run a business

00:23:54.940 --> 00:23:57.019
and a podcast and all of the million other things

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:59.920
that I sign up for, thinking that I had the time

00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:02.460
and energy to do that during summer while being

00:24:02.460 --> 00:24:07.740
a full -time mom, full -time home, domestic home

00:24:07.740 --> 00:24:11.079
manager, whatever you want to call that, it's

00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.140
not realistic. truthfully. So I thought I was

00:24:15.140 --> 00:24:17.519
clearing my plate quite a bit. I was, you know,

00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:21.059
taking a lot of things that I was doing, obligations

00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:23.900
and commitments, and pulling back on all of them.

00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:28.720
And essentially what I did is I just, I piled

00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:31.619
more on. I ended up doing more this summer than

00:24:31.619 --> 00:24:36.240
I have ever done ever. And somehow was juggling

00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:39.740
all of the things at once. But then I got to

00:24:39.849 --> 00:24:43.690
the turn of the wheel of the year, Lunasa, August

00:24:43.690 --> 00:24:50.349
1st came and I have been unwell, was to say.

00:24:50.670 --> 00:24:53.190
My body is showing signs of wearing down and

00:24:53.190 --> 00:24:55.609
feeling tired and having low energy and it's

00:24:55.609 --> 00:24:59.009
time for me to actually be forced to pull back

00:24:59.009 --> 00:25:02.220
on a lot of stuff. and say you gotta pick up

00:25:02.220 --> 00:25:05.480
what really matters and only spend the time and

00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:08.079
energy on those things. So if you feel that you're

00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:10.480
in that space right now during this cycle, you're

00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:14.140
not alone. We all are confronted with that. So

00:25:14.140 --> 00:25:17.960
if the kids are going back to school, if you

00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:19.700
are able to clear your plate just a little bit

00:25:19.700 --> 00:25:22.759
more, I recommend that you do. And I recommend

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.349
that you let it all sit. sit in front of you

00:25:26.349 --> 00:25:28.750
on the table and decide what is really going

00:25:28.750 --> 00:25:31.769
to be important, what's going to matter. And
