✨A Message of Gratitude ✨

For 18 days, we set our intentions… worked our magic… and gathered what we found along the way. 🌙🌿✨

We began with a whisper…
We explored intention, imagination, symbols, nature, mystery, and all the beautiful ways a single word can become something entirely our own.

A heartfelt thank you to my wonderful cohosts, Rowan and Luna, @The.Winding.Way and @lunarnodeliving 🌟 Thank you for walking beside me, for sharing your creativity and energy, and for helping us bring beauty to September.

And a very special thank you to my dear friend, @whiterabbitoracles, creator of Tarot of the Third Mind. 🌌✨

I’ve been genuinely blown away by the creativity and beauty in this deck. But what makes it even more special is LadyEm herself, who has been part of our community since the very beginning. 💞 I’m so grateful I experienced her beautiful creation through September eyes…

Most of all…
thank you to our community.

Thank you to everyone who picked up a word, found a little inspiration, created something beautiful, shared your thoughts, encouraged each other, or simply stopped by to share support.

That is the real magic.

Our final word may be Abundance, but I think abundance was ours all along…

In the friendships.
In the creativity.
In the imagination.
In the willingness to share.

And in all of you who continue to show up…
✨ one word at a time. 💫

With love and gratitude, always 💞

We’re busy preparing the “October” Challenge … I hope you’ll join us.
…Details coming soon!

Don’t forget to check out our friends at @slow_lens2026 #heldintheabbey @tarot_portals for some great fun

💐 Thank you to the luminous @glitterbyink @the.winding.way and @lunarnodeliving for inviting us into setting these magical intentions.✨

#whatsthetea ? #septemberspells26 wasn’t just a journey through words. It was a journey through ourselves. A journey of remembering. A journey of learning what happens when we finally become quiet enough to hear our own voice. It began with an Intention. A decision. A choice. A seed planted in the unseen. Then came the Whisper. That quiet knowing. That feeling we couldn’t explain. That truth that kept tapping us on the shoulder long before we were ready to listen.

We wrote it all into the Grimoire of our lives. Not with ink. But through experience. Through lessons. Through every moment that taught us something we couldn’t have learned any other way.

Then the Altar reminded us that sometimes truth speaks through the body first. The tension. The exhaustion. The knowing. The feeling that something just isn’t right. The Candle illuminated what had been hidden. And the Incantation taught us that our words matter. That what we repeatedly tell ourselves eventually becomes the reality we stand inside.

Then comes the work. The messy part. The human part. The Potion of lessons, emotions, information, fears and desires. All poured into the Cauldron of transformation. Mixed. Heated. Broken down. Remade. We walked through the Smoke of fear. The fear that looked solid until we walked directly through it. The fear that sat beside our deepest desires. The fear that pointed exactly where we were meant to go.

We learned Protection. Not through building walls. But through building #boundaries . We learned that access is limited. That our #energy is valuable. That not everyone deserves a VIP access to our heart. We met Charm. And discovered the difference between genuine connection and empty promises. Between consistency and performance. Between love and love-bombing. And when everything became noisy, we found our Talisman. Not outside ourselves. Not in someone else’s opinion. But within. Our own knowing. Our own instinct. Our own truth.

#whatsthetea is that #abundance isn’t always about getting more. Sometimes it comes from stopping what keeps draining us.

A situation has been taking up far too much mental energy, whether that’s defending our position, explaining ourselves, or proving a point. The frustration is real, but so is the cost of carrying it. It’s also about the arguments with people living rent-free in our heads, replaying conversations and rewriting endings.

The reality is that the argument has already played out. We are being asked: Do we want peace, or do we want to be right?

Pursuing being understood can become more exhausting than the situation itself. The message isn’t about giving up; it’s about recognising where energy produces results versus where it’s simply consumed.

There is an opportunity here, but it may not look how we expect. The opportunity isn’t necessarily winning the argument, getting the apology, or proving the point, it’s choosing differently.

Choosing not to engage in every battle.
Choosing not to carry every burden.
Choosing not to feed what drains us.

Now, this doesn’t mean we swallow injustice or stay silent when real boundaries are crossed. Standing up for what is right matters. But there is a difference between fighting a battle that creates real change and pouring our spirit into an endless loop with someone who isn’t listening. One brings clarity and resolution; the other just leaves us exhausted.

Abundance arrives when we step back from what leaves us depleted. Every argument we avoid and every explanation we withhold returns something valuable: our time, peace, and focus. In time, what truly matters will naturally come to us. Sometimes the greatest abundance comes from making room for what genuinely nourishes us.

This is the higher perspective:

Choose peace.
Choose our energy.
Choose what grows.

🌱#healthiswealth . Our wellbeing is our abundance in our own hands.✨©️𝐭𝐡𝐞_𝐚𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐬𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔

ABUNDANCE

Abundance isn’t always about having more.
Sometimes it’s noticing how much you already have.

Intention
Today, I will pause long enough to recognize the abundance already present in my life.

Affirmation
I am grateful for all that nourishes my heart, my spirit, and my creativity.

Closing
May I always remember that abundance can be found in the things we cannot count…
love, laughter, connection, creativity, and the light we share. ☀️🌞☀️

#SeptemberSpells26

@glitterbyink @The.Winding.Way @LunarNodeLiving

Thank you to the September Spells hosts and everyone sharing their reflections and magic along the way. 🤎🍂

The Empress - The Whimsical Path
Nourishment • Creativity • Receptivity

The Empress reminds us that abundance is not measured only by what we possess. It is also found in what we nurture, create, receive, and share.

She sits among wheat and fruit—the visible results of patience, care, and a willingness to work with the natural rhythm of things. Nothing in her garden is forced. Each seed is given the time and nourishment it needs to become what it was meant to be.

Through the lens of abundance, the Empress asks us to notice what is already flourishing. A relationship that feels safe. A creative idea beginning to take shape. A home that holds us. The wisdom earned through experience. Even our ability to rest and receive care is part of the harvest.

Abundance does not always arrive as more. Sometimes it appears as the realization that what we have is meaningful, sufficient, and worthy of gratitude.

For today’s abundance practice, place a piece of fruit beside your card. Name three forms of abundance already present in your life—one you created, one you received, and one you can share. Enjoy the fruit slowly, allowing yourself to receive its sweetness without apology.

May you recognize the garden you have already grown.

🌿 What form of abundance are you ready to notice, receive, or share?

Every story holds a mirror.
Trust what resonates.

𝐆𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠:𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟕 - 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞

#whatsthetea is that we’ve been carrying a lot. Our #feminine energy has been tuned into intuition and feeling, but along the way we’ve slipped heavily into the masculine energy, gathering information, analysing every angle, trying to understand what comes next, and taking on more responsibility than we realise. Mentally, emotionally, and physically, we’ve been in problem‑solving/action mode for too long. It became exhausting. The burnout, overwhelm, and heaviness we’re feeling now isn’t failure, it’s energetic depletion.

Balance is the reminder to shift back toward the feminine for a while. To listen and receive what our body, our surroundings, and our emotional load are telling us instead of doing more. To allow the restoration our energy has been quietly asking for. Now is the moment to rest before planting the next field. We’ve done the work. We’ve gathered wisdom. We’ve seen the truth. We’ve recognised the patterns. We’ve identified what stays and what doesn’t. There’s no need to rush into the next journey.

Balance arrives to remind us that we don’t need more action right now, we need space. We often believe that if we think long enough, analyse deeply enough, or revisit something one more time, the answer will finally appear. But the more we push, the more we end up going in circles. The message here is simple: step back. Not because we’re giving up, and not because we’re lost, but because we’re too close to the situation to see it clearly. Continuing at the same pace won’t help the situation or help us.

Now we’re being asked to let everything settle. Sometimes the most productive thing we can do is step back, recharge, and let ourselves catch up with everything we’ve already learned. Sometimes the wisest move forward is to pause.©️𝐭𝐡𝐞_𝐚𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐬𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔
