My Fall Favourites

Just a few of my favourite things…

Fall is one of my favourite times of the year - we’re fortunate in Calgary to really experience EVERY season. That was not sarcasm 😅

 

#1 Cozy candlelit EVEnings

Whether it’s Netflix, a good book (which isn’t as common for me) or drawing on my ipad, I love, love, LOVE cozy evenings. One of my favourite things to do is watch witchy shows like Chilling Adventures of Sabrina or do a completely nostalgic turnaround with some good ol’ 90s Halloween movies.

 

#2 TEA, TEA, TEA and MORE TEA

I love making a good batch of homemade Chai, a warming lavender latte for the evening or enjoying some green tea during the day (which is new for me). One of my favourite teas during Witchy Season is Ginger, Clove and Cinnamon - Basically anything witchy and warming.

 

#3 Bakin’ up a storm

I love baking, especially during the fall - there’s something so wholesome and comforting about homemade cookies, baked bread, brownies or some crumble. I’ve recently been experimenting with keto and low sugar or no sugar baking and I gotta say, it’s been surprisingly delicious and i’m amazed!

I love all the warm smells filling up the kitchen, trickling down into the rest of the house

YOU KNOW SOMEONE’S BEEN MAKIN’ MAGIC IN THE KITCHEN

I literally paused writing to bake some brownies
 

#4 Halloween

I LOVE Halloween! Bring on all of the All Hallows’ Eve rituals and activities. I’m not a big partier but I love dressing up, watching something spooky, going to a small get together or honouring the dead.

Having my Birthday close to Halloween has always been a favourite of mine - pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns on all door steps, spooky decor, the smell of All Hallows’ Even in the air (I can’t fully describe what this is, but IT’S A THING!), and the feeling of Halloween. You know when it really feels like it? Ah! Tis the season!

 

#5 Rituals

Honouring the ones who came before us

Oh, you thought I was joking about honouring the dead… Oh no, no, no, no, no. I take honouring those that have come before me very seriously. Honouring my ancestors, paying respects energetically and really being grateful for those that gave me life. And no, I don’t just mean my parents, I mean every ancestor that has contributed energetically to my life in some way.

#6 Intention Setting

I love setting intentions for the year ahead, this would be my “new year” ahead, if that makes sense - Basically from October 30th to October 30th. This is the optimal time to journal, set your intentions and look forward to another year of you. Setting goals, creating vision boards, meditating and manifesting your desires into reality, I AM ALL ABOUT IT.

 

#7 Warm BAths

I love setting up my candles, bringing some fresh or dried flowers into the bath, filling the tub with salts and on occasion, I bring in my laptop - either for meditation music or to watch some Netflix!

 

#8 scorpio season

What do I love about Scorpio Season? Welp! Scorpios are all about death and rebirth, SOME SERIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL transformation…and this is the one time where I either get to relax because i’ve completed the insane “challenges” before the season began (and get to watch all other signs freak out) OR huge transformation happens for me.

A lot of my transformational work actually occurs during the Summer time, especially during Leo Season and the Lion’s Gate, so sometimes I get a bit of a break before Scorpio Season, which is nice.

Scorpios are super attractors and powerful manifestors. It’s important to pay attention to your thoughts and ensure your worries are under control. Manifesting power is high and the full moon in October only amplifies that. I can definitely speak from experience when I say that my worries manifested - AT THE SAME TIME - I wouldn’t have it any other way.

At the time they were worries, RIGHT NOW I see it all as a blessing. The point is, intention and goal setting is HIGH during this season and WHATEVER is meant for you, will ultimately happen, regardless of worry. Anything not serving you will likely be blown out of your path, creating room for the new, the abundant, the creative, the magnificent and the incredible.

“What if i’m not a scorpio?”

You may not be! and that’s totally fair. Every season, planet and zodiac does affect us in some way. Your Sun sign may not be in Scorpio, however your moon or any other planetary placements may have Scorpio. If you’re on the cusp this can also heavily affect you, but we’re used to the transformations! We’re all set and good to go. We’ve done this before! It’s the other signs i’m “worried” about 😂.

I hope you enjoyed this blog! To find out your moon sign and any other planetary placements in your chart, head to the link below. You will need to know your Birth time, date and place (I hope you know your birth date 😉). The information and planetary placements may be inaccurate if you don’t know your exact birth time, this is due to the positioning of the Planets, Moon, Sun and Stars.

Happy Hunting!
