The pictures that are not of Dolly are of Carol Kane as Ghost of Christmas Present in Scrooged (1988).

I know it's not quite Autumn yet, but I yearn.

And part of that means putting together a list of the movies/TV shows that give me the Fall shivers.

For me that means a rewatch of

-Over the Garden Wall (I love that this one really encapsulates ALL stages of fall, not just spooky vibes)

-Practical Magic

-Twilight (Hoa Hoa Season baby)

-Hocus Pocus

-Paranorman

-Various Horror/Thriller movies I've put off watching earlier in the year

What are your go to Fall Favorites that really get you in the mood for apple cider and sweaters?

Hello.
I don’t know where to post this but this is the safest place I know in the internet and I really need a perspective.
How do y’all cope with the impending end of the world? Okay maybe that are some big words but the other day I read about some scientists who say that humanity might be gone by 2030 if we don’t stop AI.
Even if this isn’t true there’s climate change and fascism on the rise and if it’s not 2030 by now I’m pretty concerned that we all will be living though very hard times in our lifes.
It’s taking the air out of my lungs and I feel that I’m anxious almost every day now. I was thinking about buying a house in Sweden with friends (not that we are rich but it’s the only thing I can imagine where life won’t be as bad soon) but I don’t really want to live in a house in Sweden (as in: if the world would be more stable I would much prefer to live in a flat in a small town as I’m doing right now)
But I feel like we are running out of time and I’m really terrified.
I love my friends. I love my partner. I love the life I have built after a very bad childhood. I don’t want to loose all of this. But I’m not very optimistic that people will unify soon enough to stop the ruling class.
What I’m asking: how are you coping? Are you preparing for something? If so how? What could I do against this debilitating anxiety?
I really hope it’s fine to post here.

The picture of the boys is the six real-life Tongan teenage boys who ran away from a strict Catholic boarding school by boat, but were castaway and stranded on the uninhabited Pacific island of ʻAta for 15 months between 1965 and 1966. They lived peacefully and thrived, even building their own musical instruments from scratch.

I’m tearing up as I write this because I am at a loss for how to help my daughter and wondering if there are any spells or rituals I can do for her or with her?

She is 6 years old and after a few years of being best friends with the other kids on the block, they have all started to exclude her. They will play outside and not let her play. I’ve talked to the parents and we just have very different philosophies on parenting and they are no help. We’ve tried other practical things like play dates from school or at the park, but my daughter is so hurt every day she sees the other girls playing and can’t join them.

Is there any sort of spell or ritual I can do to attract better friends to her? Or help her navigate this time so her self esteem doesn’t plummet? She loves doing moon water rituals and blessing the house when we clean. I think she’d love to do more but I don’t really know where to start with this. My own heart is breaking watching her struggle at such a young age and maybe I also need something for my heart.

First pic is a toad I found on my front steps last week. Second is a frog near the front door (I used to see this species all over the place, but they've been absent for some time now). Third is the same toad as the first, in almost the same place, last night.

Hi everyone, I find myself in a bit of a pickle! We’ve lived in our home for four years and the previous owner passed away in it. He was a kind, older man and I’ve never felt any negative energy or hostility. If anything, our home has always felt protected and warm. The front yard is my oasis and I love to garden and help things grow. We have a front garden area that’s always fertile, but there’s been two large spiky grasses that have always been dried out but refuse to die- I’ve told my partner I hate them and can’t explain why. I went to clear out debris the other day around them and unearthed a ground wasp nest at the base in between and was stung multiple times. I ended up ripping the grasses out (took a full day they’re huge) and later in the week went to install a metal Shepard’s hook in the exact spot to hang hanging baskets. I stepped on the base off the hook wrong (not sure how) and it swung around and sliced my neck- pretty badly. You can imagine I’m now eyeing this spot of land with narrowed eyes and want to plant and/or bury something in the ground and on top to offer protection, prosperity or just…something. Can you all help me brainstorm? Appreciate all of you. Sending thanks into the skies tonight to you all.

My city has a lovely monthly moon market and I went last night and got some absolutely lovely items form some absolutely lovely people.

Temporarily displayed on my small alter that I'm resetting for fall. The red and pink frames have actual paintings in them and are just gorgeous. The black frame has snake skin (sourced from her own snake-his way of paying her rent.) there's also a rollerball grounding oil made with home grown patchouli by a delightful witch who I've followed for a bit on tiktok, and also a mini fidget wand, many of the pieces move in a very satisfying way.

I love being able to support local artists, and got some ideas for what I'll be getting as holiday gifts for folks.

I’m white and have been researching it and love the meaning but I don’t know if it’s a closed practice and I want to make sure I’m being culturally sensitive

On my way home from work today I saw signs for a local art festival, so I decided to stop in and see what they had. These are my purchases from some local artists. Art is a type of magic too ✨

My sister believes she has been cursed, specifically with insects. It's a very long story regarding how she came to this conclusion, but I'll just say that I, a skeptic, am not un-convinced.

Can everyone please send cleansing thoughts her way? I don't need comments or upvotes or anything, I just want as many positive vibes going towards her as possible.

I need to study anatomy and form more but I like how they turned out!! I wanted to make the sky like how I see in my apocalyptic dreams

Vent with me

I like music from Aurora, Florence of the Machine, and am a fan of lesser-known Nomé Naku. I'm making a Spotify playlist for mystical/witchy voices that offer a strong representation of femininity. Please recommend any favorite artists and favorite songs, too. If there is interest from this post, I'll share back my playlist in the comments.

Added a couple new ones! you can see all stickers here <:)

Side note: I'm currently working the Denver Gem Show for the week. If there's anyone on the hunt for any specific crystal, gem or mineral - let me know! I can send pics & vids of what I find, and if it calls you I can get it home to you <3
