What is it about fall that makes us want to party? I don’t think its just the cozy Autumn feels (although that certainly helps as soon as the nights start to get longer and the temperatures start to drop enough to make bonfires and layer sweaters.). I think its a deep ancestral instinct to give thanks this time of year, an artifact from generations and generations of agricultural societies that were genuinely fucking relieved every time their harvest was successful. This season was a time for pouring out their thanks, enjoying the bountiful fruits of their labor and anxiously petitioning their gods and spirits for protection in the winter to come. Its such a natural human feeling to tap into. And I think the spirit world that surround us enjoys this festive atmosphere as well.

Waking up Mama Bear
“In the Wildwood tarot deck, the Queen of Stones is represented by a standing mother bear, protecting her cubs with her fierce power. When this card came up for me, I struggled to connect it to the Full Moon in Pisces. And then I remember what my inner child work has been teaching me. “
