A photographic altar to the month of November! Sometimes I can feel a little lost or empty once the spirited Halloween season is over. The leaves have dropped, daylight savings hits, and winter is inevitable—it’s the start of what can be such a hard time of year for so many of us. I have to remind myself that even though the mainstream witchy season is winding down, the real ones know that Samhain is really just the beginning. It’s the season of long, quiet nights, of sparkling, cold skies, a stripped down landscape, and profound changes in the light—all of which help us perceive of things differently. It’s the season of drinking tea by candlelight, a season with more time and space for reflection, for stillness, for being with ourselves. It’s also the season of warming, sweet spices and herbs, of kitchencraft, of ancestors and familial traditions, and of course spiritual and religious traditions—many of which far predate organized religion and originally emerged out of land-based pagan practices. This November, I’m setting the intention to stay present with the magic that’s so specific to the late fall, to romanticize it, to invoke it with beeswax and elderberries, to listen to the owls call to each other at night, just trying my best to be wildly enchanted by these cold, dark months. If you’re in need of some inspiration, come by the shop and see what we have for your November teapot, altar, table, reading list, and more. Don’t let this time go unappreciated before getting swept into the whirlwind of the winter holidays!
