Closing the September Door
Hola Brujx.
First of all, the Witches’ Salon last night was FIRE!!! We discussed numerology, shared deep experiences, passed wisdom to one another and pulled a card for guidance. So deeply nourishing and I am so grateful.
September has been about orientation.
Not just orientation to The School of Body Magic, but orientation to yourself.
We began by asking what kind of witch you are becoming and what principles actually guide your practice.
Then we returned to the body for practice. We know the value of slowing down sensation before turning it into a story.
And last week, we widened that attention outward and explored what it means to be in relationship with Nature, symbols, the sacred, and each other.
That is enough for one month! lol
It’s time to stop collecting information and begin living what you already know.
So before we rush into October, I want you to ask yourself one question:
What insight/principle/practice from September do I actually want to keep practicing?
Not everything.
One thing. One principle. One body practice. One relationship. One question you are still carrying.
Whatever you choose, let it be a guiding star ANY TIME you feel lost, overwhelmed, stagnant or just need to reset.
If you missed Your Working Philosophy of Magic, I’ve now added it as a free resource inside the School so you can return to it whenever your practice needs reorientation.
Your philosophy evolves because you do. So keep the vibe low-pressure when you’re filling out the PDF.
Now we turn to October:
Halloween is coming!
*said while squealing*
This month we’ll begin exploring one of my deepest areas of practice:
Our relationship with the Dead.
We will take October to move beyond spectacle and fear. I want you to experience the REAL support that becomes available when we move beyond treating the Dead as mystical resources we summon only when we want something. A mature and active relationship with those who have passed beyond THAT threshold can contain remembrance, grief and mortality.
But also joy, dance, laughter and ambition for ourselves and for the collective. In my practice with the Dead, I share the celebrations as well as the troubled times.
October belongs to the Dead and we’re gonna party with them! :)
With you in the dark,
Mel, The Body Witch
