Wishing everyone celebrating a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Although my harvest celebration was back in October, I continue to be grateful for all the people social distancing and wearing masks these last long months.
Stay safe ♥

Stay safe this Halloween… but not too safe 🎃

It’s the most wonderful time of the year– and to give it some of the appreciation it deserves, I snagged this tag from A Geek Girl’s Guide. Feel free to post it yourself (please share your link) or leave your answers in the comments 🎃
Wow, I have to pick only one thing? In that case, what I like best about October is that everything about it feels like home to me. It speaks to my spooky, pumpkin-loving, pagan soul.
I used to be. I’d decorate the house, carve a jack o’ lantern, and do all kinds of Halloween-themed cooking and baking. I’d have people over and shell out (give out candy). The last few years…not so much. I’m hoping to get back to proper celebrations in future.
Nothing will ever scare me more than the original Alien movie. As far as I’m concerned it’s the perfect horror film.
I would never willingly choose a big night out. A cozy night in with The Nightmare Before Christmas and a few other spooky/scary movies is perfect.
Confession time: I haven’t liked wearing a costume since I was a kid (I won’t bore you with reasons). But when I was a kid, I went as a fortune teller a couple of times and remember having fun with it. (I should also add that costumes back then were always ruined because it was so cold where I lived. We couldn’t go out without extra layers under the costumes, as well as gloves, hats, scarves, a winter coat, and– worst of all — snow pants on top.)
How about some divination instead?
I haven’t lately, but I used to go all out with the decorating and cooking and handing out candy, among other things.
Anything where regular humans are the monsters. There’s enough of that in real life.
When it got dark and dinner was over and my parents would f i n a l l y let me go out.
The feeling in the air.
Scary. Always.
Chocolate, although I’m the weirdo who also likes candy corn and those molasses candies that exist only at Halloween.
I love all black kitties because they are awesome, but I especially love my black kitty, who chose our home to be his home ♥

It’s the first day of Autumn here in the Northern Hemisphere, my favourite season (and not just because you can apparently make a dress from the pretty leaves). My part of the world does Autumn perfectly, with colourful leaves that crunch underfoot, and crisp air tinged with wood smoke, and gourds– so many gourds. There’s an eldritch feel all around that has nothing to do with spooky decorations. And for me, every change of season is an opportunity for a fresh start, so here’s hoping that this season brings the positive changes to the world that we all so desperately need…
What’s your favourite part of the season?
Happy Equinox…
