Cozy Coven Chats: A Witch’s Journey Back to Simplicity
You Are Witchy Enough Even On Your Busy Days
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’re standing on a threshold, and Libra season brings the scales: balance, beauty, and the kind of harmony that has to be built in real life.
I pull cards that get straight to the root chakra stuff: money, safety, home, and belonging. The Four of Pentacles calls out the tight grip of scarcity mindset and asks us to redefine prosperity beyond cash. The “We Are Family” message shifts the focus to chosen family, lineage, and the ancestors who may be closer than you think right now. If you’ve been feeling tender about the holidays, budgeting, or complicated family dynamics, this is a compassionate reframe. I used the Happy Halloween Tarot and the Morbid Mirror Oracle both by Soni Graves.
We also go to the crossroads, literally. A mysterious pile of acorns from woodpeckers turns into a living signpost that pulls in Hecate, nature symbolism, and the reminder that spirit communication can be loud when we’ve been too busy to notice the subtle stuff. From there, we talk about witchy FOMO, imposter syndrome, accessibility in witchcraft, neurodivergence, and why social media performance is not the measure of a real practice. Simple daily witchcraft counts: breath, tea, rest, a walk, a tarot deck in your hands, a playlist on a low-energy day.
If this gave you a little magic, subscribe, share with a friend who needs permission to keep it simple, and leave a review so more witches can find us.

Fall Arrives And Seasons Shift
SPEAKER_01Hey witches, welcome to another Cozy Coven Chat. This is for the week of September 27th. I am your host, Jenny C. Bell, and we are looking at fall. It's finally fall, it's the autumn equinox. It doesn't quite feel like that here in southern Oregon. It looks like it. There's a lot of acorns that have fallen, and I have an interesting story about acorns. And then a lot of leaves, but it's hot. It's like cool in the morning. There's a joke about like the PNW. Like you get like this time of year, and also in spring, you get all the seasons. Like you wake up, it feels like winter, and then we go into spring, and then we go into summer and then we go back down to fall. Um, but yes, so hopefully it's pretty where you are and starting to cool off, and or not, if that's not what you want yet.
Award News And New Listeners
SPEAKER_01Um, I want to give a shout-out real quick to Parapod Events. I am a finalist in their uh Best Newcomer Podcast Awards, and I'm super grateful and excited to be um nominated and be in the running, and it's nice to have um some new listeners because of that. And so if you're new, thank you for joining me and um being on this journey with me.
Libra Season And Venus Retrograde
SPEAKER_01So this week we are in officially in the autumn equinox on this half of the world. If you are on the other half, you're special specifically in spring. Um, but we are all in Libra season, right? So no matter where, I mean, you might follow other astrology, but I don't. This is the kind I prefer. So it makes the most sense to me. So we're in Libra season, and Libra's symbol is the scales, and so it's like perfectly lined up for the equinox. And I really love personally the transition from Virgo season to Libra season because Virgo season has me really editing and cleaning and deep cleaning and organizing, and then Libra season's like, okay, but now make it pretty, you know. So if you're feeling that way, it's that Venus influence, embrace it, I say, right? Um, no major new moons or full moons. We have a moon voodoo void, of course, on Thursday and on Tuesday. Oh, and on Monday. Wow, I kind of went backwards on my calendar. We also have a Venus retrograde on um Saturday, October 3rd, and uh October 3rd for all of you that celebrate. Happy Mean Girls Day. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, you should watch Mean Girls. Everybody should see that movie. Um my husband became an administrator. I told him he needed to watch that movie as part of his homework to understanding girls because he watched it and he's like, they don't really hold grudges like that, do they? And then he got into the field and he's like, oh, they really hold grudges like that. So it was good homework for him. We had our son watch it uh when he entered middle school also for homework and just to understand girls and girl behavior, um, because it still is true after all these years, right? Um, yeah, so October 3rd, so fun. Uh pulled cards for us, and we are still using the happy Halloween tarot in the Morbid Miracle. I'll switch um when we officially enter a full week of October, which will be next week. But we're in it. We're in hoaho season, we're in the season of the witch, we are in the equinox to Sawin.
Live Meditations And Coven Ritual Plans
SPEAKER_01You know what's interesting is I did a live in Insight Timer, which I'm doing again. So if you are available Tuesday, September 29th, 1 p.m. Pacific time, I'm doing a live in Insight Timer. It's very like chill, it's chill vibes for you because it's an app that's free. The live is free, you don't have to be on camera, no one even hears you, there's no fumbling with Zoom, it's just live in the app. And um, I did a live where we just tuned in with the equinox in our inner garden, and then we pulled cards and had 80 people show up, which was really cool. So I'm from different places in the world. So if that sounds fun to you, you want to do a little meditation, a little tarot. I almost I almost did a jackblack, a little meditation, a little tarot. Um, yeah, so if that sounds fun, that's a way to connect with me outside of the pod. Um as far as I know, I'm still trying to understand Insight Timer's replay situation. It's like I have access to the replay, but I'm not sure if other people do. But I know I get their teacher newsletters that they will be offering replays on the lives, which they haven't done in the past. So that's something that'll happen. Speaking of lives, I will be doing a live in our coven. Um, our October live is on Ancestral Connection. So there will be more information on that when October rolls around officially. I don't want to announce it here before I announce it in the coven, but they voted and they all wanted Ancestral Connection. And so when I do lives in there, what that looks like is similar to Insight Timer. It's just live in the app or on the desktop if you don't have the app and you don't have to be on camera or anything. I like doing rituals that way in our coven so no one feels like they have to bring their computer with them, including me. I can just be live on the phone. And so, yeah, we'll be doing Ancestral Connection, there'll be a meditation and a little ritual, um, which is interesting because I did the four-card spread that I shared on my Substack and in our coven um for the Autumn Equinox. So if you missed that, you need to go back. Just Substacks easy to navigate. Just look me up and you'll find me. Um, but my card for uh how to it was how can I encourage more harmony in my life at this time? I got a card about ancestors, and I thought how interesting um that we're going into that time of year. I mean, you can work with your ancestors anytime, but more people get in tune with their ancestors or start ancestor work at this time. So we'll be talking more about that in our coven, and then obviously I'll talk about it on the podcast. Um, but yeah, so that's kind
Other Shows And Paranormal Roundtable
SPEAKER_01of what's going on. You know, catch me on Belief Being and Beyond. We're doing Wednesdays, uh, just me and Granddaughter Crow chatting, answering questions. And then uh Saturdays are either roundtables or interviews with really cool, fun creatives. Um, if you didn't watch the round table that just came out Saturday, oh, you need to. It's so good. Um, it's Judica Illis, who, if you don't know, writes humongous encyclopedias, including the Encyclopedia of Spirits. It was Richard Lale, who, if you see me on Movie Coven, you see he is a psychic medium, um, does seances in New Orleans, so it's like a dream vacation to go do that with him. And then Jake Morningstar, who just recently wrote um Tattoo Magic. And so we had a good variety of people, and we talk about ghosts and hauntings and the paranormal and the supernatural from three very different perspectives, but it was such a great conversation. We laughed, we got teary-eyed, it was really good. So definitely check that out. I'll put it um, I'll link it here in the notes. Okay, so back to our cards.
Four Of Pentacles And Money Fear
SPEAKER_01So the Happy Halloween tarot, I pulled the Four of Pentacles, which is always a card that causes pause. Um in this depiction, it is a ruffled up, angry Halloween cat. It's a black cat. He's all puffy, and his um he's looks like he's crying, his tail is puffy, his back is arched, and he's on a worried jack-o'-lantern. And there is a crescent moon and four pentacles. And it says, this scaredy cat is hissing and yowling so much, even the jack-o'-lantern is feeling affected by the negative attitude. Everything should be lovely on this beautiful Halloween night. This black cat could be thriving, but instead it has become in become frozen with fear. Fear of what exactly? Not even the cat knows anymore. I have definitely experienced freeze, flight, fight, fawn, freeze. And I've definitely experienced freeze in regards to like the ADHD overwhelm. So I've been there. Um, and the question is, what am I clinging on to that I could loosen my grip on? How do I define my wealth? What am I wealthy in besides money and things? Because often, because this is a pentacles card, pentacles has to do with health and wealth, right? So when we get this card, it's like we're concerned or clinging to money. It's like a poverty mindset, it's like a miserly mindset. Like I can't spend more, I need to reel it in, but to the point where it's like you're not even enjoying things, right? It's like a almost like a Scrooge mentality. And so it says hoarding possessions and being greedy cripple us with a fear of money, no matter how much of it we have. If money is energy, we're essentially blocking it. So a lot of people will like manifest and want money to come to them, but their fear of not having enough blocks that. And it's so rough. Do you know what I mean? Like, that's rough. That's a rough one to try to get over because it's like, well, yeah, look at the economy, or I don't have a job right now. Like, there's real reasons for people to fear not having enough money. And then this card is like, okay, but how can you change that? It's it's hard. It's not an easy, straightforward answer. It's different for everybody. But I think collectively, what it's asking us to do is just look at define wealth for yourself. Like, how do you define wealth or prosperity? And if money is energy, what is your relationship with that energy? Those are just things to think about this week.
Chosen Family And Ancestor Threads
SPEAKER_01And then from the morbid miracle, we have we are family. Family are those who make you feel like you are home. And it's a literal heart as a house, and there's a little happy skeleton and a cat in the window, and the skeleton's waving. So this feels very much like chosen family. You know, who is your chosen family? Um, the questions or the advice is family are those who make you feel like you are home. Who do I consider my family and why? Where does my most recent lineage come from, and what does that mean to me? So talking about ancestors. And how does knowing we are all technically related make me feel? Interesting. So we're looking at the card. Tarot card is like, okay, let's change how we look at prosperity. And then this card is like, let's change how we look at family or home. Let's redefine those things. So these are very solid structure, root chakra things that we are asked to look at this week, right? So no, it's not light. It's not light. It's like, I'm not saying it's a bad week, but it's a heavy week for contemplation. There's contemplation happening, there's thoughts about money and future and home and what do those things mean in family. And I think that's perfectly aligned with the seasons because we're getting close to the holidays. And for some of us, you know, the holidays we have to see family that maybe we don't agree with politically, or we have lots of trauma with, or we're looking at budgeting to buy gifts, and it's a tough time. So I think we're being asked to kind of reframe and revisit those things before we get into the actual holidays. Those are my thoughts on that. Um,
Holiday Stress And Reframing Home
SPEAKER_01if you didn't get to see me on the missing witches, that or hear me, it's not a video podcast, it's like mine. Um, that way I can we can just be free. I feel much more free talking without seeing myself on camera. Um, definitely check that out. It was a really good conversation about um accessibility and witchcraft and like what that means and what that looks like and how that feels to neurodivergent witches or disabled witches. So really good conversation. Um, I had an acorn story for you, and then I want to talk about uh some things that have been brought to my attention that sometimes people don't feel witchy enough, or that there's a lot of witchy FOMO. So we're gonna talk about that next. But first is Acorn Story, which is still in development. So I have uh I live on a three on the corner of a three-way crossroads, right? So three roads meet right at the corner of my property, which is the um easternmost corner of my property. Very Hecate. And I tell you, I did not work with Hecate before I moved here. I did not know about her in Crossroads, I knew nothing. I the only thing I really knew about crossroads was Legba. Um, and that was from my African-American um folklores class in college, right? And we watched a movie, I think it was Samuel Jackson played Legba, and there's this whole Crossroads Eaves Bayou, such a good movie. Um, and we learned a lot about African and African American culture. So that was like all I knew, you know, and like Robert Johnson selling his soul at the crossroads to be a good guitar player. And so I did not know about Hecate at all until we moved here. And what a
Acorn Offerings At The Crossroads
SPEAKER_01surprise that she starts calling to me at moving to where I live on a literal crossroads. Not a surprise at all. So then um I we have lots of birds in our yard, and I feed them, and they're my buddies, and I was looking at the property, I walk the property often to just add energy and connect the land spirits and you know, normal witchcraft stuff. And um I get to the corner of that crossroads, and there are so many acorns, and then I look up and I'm like, oh, we had some acorn woodpeckers come and make a giant pile of acorn offerings to Hecate. And I learned that the recently, I'm still in research, so if you know more, tell me, send me information, um, that the oak was sacred to lots of the Greek gods. Um, she's technically a titan, as my son always likes to tell me. Um, and Hecate is one of them. And the acorn just represents so much in witchcraft. So this is a situation where the world is always speaking to us. Your spirit guides and nature and your ancestors are in communication with you all the time. You just have to notice. And sometimes we don't notice, and so they send very dramatic signs, like a pile of acorns. So I'm still working that one out. Um, I brought some in and put them on her altar. I have been talking to the woodpeckers. I know that they often represent knocking on opportunity, just lots of fun swirling around. So still figuring it out. Um, it's kind of similar to my wasp situation earlier this summer, which I talked about on here. So now we're in a acorn woodpecker hecate situation. But I wanted to talk about um not being witchy enough and uh witchy FOMO. FOMO is the fear of missing out, which a lot of people have.
Witchy FOMO And Social Media Discernment
SPEAKER_01Some people um don't have it, they just want to be invited, right? They don't actually want to go. That would be me. Um, but I've learned from our coven and talking to other witches that a lot of witches don't feel witchy enough. Um, and I really think that's because of social media. And so something interesting, Granddaughter Crow just brought up to me recently is she was just like, we're always we are we never have light conversations, right? It's always like deep thoughts. And so one of her deep thoughts was when thinking about like you, if you are, you know, you listening, when thinking about who you're gonna follow on social media or who you're gonna take a class from or an author's book you're gonna buy, right? Ask yourself what you think they would do without social media. And so then I was thinking about my own self. Like, if there was no social media, would I be doing the same thing, which is, you know, uh writing books and running and running our coven, doing a podcast and all that. And so I really sat with that and I thought, so ever since I was a child, I wanted to write. I always wanted to be an author. I do have a degree in in literature, and that was the point was that I was gonna teach by day and write by night, like Stephen King. That was the whole kind of thought process. Um, so I do think I'd be writing books. I know that in the 80s and 90s, authors were paid a little better and a lot of times had more support from publishers to do book tours and things like that. So it didn't have to be so much on us through social media and podcasts. I have always loved talking and I'm comfortable on and off camera and on microphones, so I would have been open to being on a radio show. So I'm thinking of like if I'm going back in time to 1980s or 1990s, pre-internet being available in every home, and then definitely pre-social media, I think I would be an author still. I probably maybe even write more books because there's less distraction. I would be open to being on a local radio show, like maybe a public access TV show. Um I could see totally see Witches Movie Coven as a public access TV show. And I would be doing some kind of community thing, perhaps in person, because online obviously wouldn't be available, but I would be building community somewhere somehow. If you really look at my human design and my astrology, like I'm an innovator, I'm like definitely a generator, like I'm someone who has a lot of new ideas, and so yeah, so I think that's important to ask all of ourselves, but to imagine people that you maybe follow on social media that you are taking advice from and asking yourself, you know, without social media, would this person still be someone I would be drawn to? Would I pick up their book in the store, flipping through a magazine or flipping through the radio? Would I listen to them or read what they have to say? And if the answer is no, then maybe you shouldn't follow them. Um the world is changing, the astrology is changing, the I think the um, I think influencers are dying. I think I hope that that culture is dying, that we no longer um wanna find someone who's really rich and and then can teach us a get rich quick scheme because they're the only ones that are gonna get rich, right? Because it's all like a multi-level marketing scheme, um, all of it, right? So I think there's a mass opening of eyes about that. I know that I've seen that on TikTok. There's a creator who just basically calls influencers out for being influencers, right, and doing shady things like Jay Shetty, he's super shady. Um and I think that's something to think about. I think practicing discernment when it comes to who you follow or who you agree with. I recently posted about this on Instagram, but you know, I'm really tired of seeing people come online. It's exhausting to me actually, and they come online and like there's only one way, one right way to read the tarot, or to be a witch, you know, and it's like, gosh, you're so annoying, like you, like immediately, no, like I just want to be like block. Um, and it's just like they prey on insecurities, they prey on divisiveness, they buy likes, there's a lot of bots and trolls involved. It's just icky, icky, icky, and so really be aware of you know who you are following and what they are telling you. Um because no, there is no right way to do anything. You know what I mean? It's not math. Like there's a right way to do math, and you know, there's a right answer and a wrong answer, mostly, you know, in like lower math. Don't I never went past algebra two really, so don't come at me with like there's this other math I don't want to know, my brain can't handle that. Um, there's a right way and a wrong way to do like basic things like that, but otherwise, with the things that are spiritual and esoteric, like there are many ways to do it as our practitioners. So please don't fall for those traps, please. And then the other thing is witchy FOMO and are you witchy enough? Yes, you are witchy enough. Um, it cannot all be practical magic, guys. I wish we lived in that movie, too. Um, but you just can't, so many of You have day jobs, and our parents are caregivers in some way, or have chronic illness, or chronic pain, or disability, or whatever, right? You have so much going on in your life that is you cannot be dedicated to being doing this practice, right? And a lot of these people online, that's how they make money, right? They're making money by building these elaborate altar altars or making these elaborate rituals or dressing up beautifully. Like that's their bread and butter. Your bread and butter isn't that.
The Real Cost Behind Cute Moments
SPEAKER_01It's your your practice is your practice, it's just sacred practice. It's not that. So when we talk about are you witchy enough, yes. And talking about FOMO and missing out, like everything has a downside, right? So, you know, um, for instance, maybe you felt FOMO when you saw me dress up and go to see Practical Magic 2 in my little town, um, or the Crystal Nook is a local shop. She rented out the theater and she gave out little goodie bags, and you know, maybe you saw that and you were like, oh man, I'm so jealous. Well, here's some truth, okay? I really don't know how to parallel park. My brain does not work that way. I remember I took like a personality test in one of my college uh credentialing classes for teaching, and I scored like a zero on spatial awareness. Like I really I know my left from right, and that's as bad as as good as it gets. I am not a bad driver, I am not an ambi turner like like Zoolander. I can really only park if I turn left. When I turn right into a parking spot, I really struggle. Um, and I don't parallel park. I learned it at 16 or 17 in New Jersey for driving school, and then I never had did it again. After my took my tests, I never parallel park in California because it's California. And like we would, you know, in LA, you can never find street parking. Like you're gonna find um parking lots there and charge you $20 to park, right? So never, never. And then we moved here into our little town, and everything's narrow and small, and so it took us forever to find parking because I'm like, I just need a refresher. I told my husband, I'm thinking you're thinking you're gonna have to teach me to parallel park again because I just don't remember. So it took us forever to find parking, so we had a walk. Um, and then I didn't feel well. I had it uh hadn't been sleeping, and so after the movie thing, I was supposed to do something the next day. I couldn't, you know, I just didn't have enough capacity for more, and I ended up kind of resting for two days after. So yeah, it was I don't regret it, had a super fun time, but if you were like, man, like such FOMO, it was fantastic, but there was some anxiety leading up to it, and then there was some needing to rest after. I mean, that's my reality and that's how I live. And so, you know, it's hard, it's hard not to feel that way. And then the are you witchy enough? I asked Deborah Blake recently about this too when she joined, she came in our coven for a private chat. And she's like, Yeah, like we all feel that way. Like, even Deborah Blake, guys, she's written over 20 books on witchcraft and has all these card decks and like is the cranky crone. Even she will feel like not witchy enough because she doesn't have enough followers or whatever. Um and so when we think about when you feel that way, think about what is a witch, who is a witch, and what is the real reality of it, right? This is someone who is magic and stepping into their magic. Period. Like you don't have to be an Owen sister, right? It's like at the very core of it, it's just an
Simple Witchcraft Counts Every Day
SPEAKER_01archetype of a misfit who does magic. And that's all of us, I think, right? We're all weird and we all do magic in our own ways, and so we're all witches and we're all witchy enough. But you know, some things to think about, like returning to a simple practice is why I started this podcast, is because I realized like things have gotten a little out of hand in the world of social media, and we need to like circle back and come back to some basics. So, some basic things to think about or to do, right, is each day taking some deep breaths, that's magic. Anytime you do self-care, like eat something nourishing or take a walk, that's magic. Anytime you take notice of something in nature, that's magic. Anytime you pull cards or refresh your altar or put that crystal in your pocket, that's magic, right? It can't all be the human brain or humans, we're just so weird. Like we just want everything to be like fun and games all the time. And if it's not, we feel like maybe we're failing. Like so many of us feel that way. Like, if it's not like every day's a party, then we're we're not doing good. But it's just life is a cycle and it's seasonal. And like one day you go do something super witchy and fun, and then the rest of the month you don't, and that's okay. Like, it's just kind of the reality of living this way, you know. And when I'm having a day where I don't have any energy, which happens more and more as I age and you know, my body aches and stuff, I'll watch a witchy movie. Movie coven's got plenty of inspiration for that. I'll listen to a favorite witchy podcast, like Missing Witches. I'll listen to an audiobook, I'll read a book, I'll listen to a witchy playlist. Um and that's that's the witchcraft of the day, right? I will flip through some cards. Maybe sometimes I don't have the energy to pull cards, but I just want to like I've been doing that lately. Um instead of like flipping through my phone, I'll flip through a deck of cards. I'll just pull a deck of cards out and I'll just flip through and just kind of look at the pictures. And it's like it's meditative, it's relaxing, it's something to do with my hands, the fidgeting, it's dopamine, because it's quick like a social media scroll, right? Um sometimes your witchcraft is like picking a flower and bringing it in the house, drinking some herbal tea. You know, I we all want the big witchy adventure and the big rituals, but there's a lot of prep and money and time and energy that goes into those things. So what we have energy and time for sometimes is just something small and small scale, and that's okay. Um do you have to celebrate every moon to be a witch? No. Do you have to celebrate every Sabbath to be a witch? No, no. Sometimes all you can do is like look at the calendar and be like, oh, today is Maybon. And take a moment to reflect on that, and that's it. You move on. Sometimes the full moon rolls around, you're like, I am exhausted. And so the ritual is rest. And that's okay. And so you are witchy enough. Um, something that came up in our coven. There's a couple things that came up um when I asked, you know, about witchy FOMO and are you witchy enough? One of them
Reading Guilt Accessibility And Imposter Syndrome
SPEAKER_01was that uh someone said that they never um finish a book, that they have a hard time uh finishing a book. And so you see me, I interview authors. I can't read all those books, guys. I can't. So something that really helps me is well, audiobooks number one, and audiobooks count as reading, and I will die on that hill, um, especially with I have a degree in literature, and some people will be like, Well, your degree doesn't matter in this case. It does matter in this case because I taught kids how to read, okay? And audiobooks help they help you do that, and they are reading, and sometimes you comprehend more through an audiobook, so it's definitely reading. So, anyway, someone says they don't finish books, and so fine, who cares? So, something I suggest doing if you are feeling like this um guilt or FOMO, you're not finishing books, read the introduction, get a feel for it, decide if it's for you, and if it's not, pass it on or shelve it for when you're ready for it. If it is, go through and the chapters and pick out the ones of interest to you. You do not need to read it all the way through. It's a nonfiction book. Most nonfiction witchcraft books and those kinds of books are kind of broken up by chapters, practices, exercise, meditation, ritual spells that don't build upon themselves. So you can just pick out the information that's interesting to you, read that, put the book away, and feel like you read it. And that's fine. It's totally legal. I'm allowing you to do that with my literature degree. Um, the other thing uh people say is that um that they don't feel super witchy, but then they'll talk to like a normie and then they realize they are really witchy. So think about that. Think about your friends that are not at all witchy or maybe kind of interested. You are like the witch to them. Like you are the expert. So you are an expert to somebody, okay? Um, and then let's see, someone said um that they have a health condition that makes it so they have a hard time. And we talked about that on uh missing witches. Like sometimes you can't burn candles because you have an allergy. Um, there's lots of ways to change, and you know, you don't have to burn candles to be a witch, right? You don't have to write in a book to be a witch. You can do a digital book or an audio recording of what you do. You can use those a little battery-operated candles or things like that. Um, let me see if there's anything else. Oh, some people feel imposter syndrome. And so, you know, that's the idea that like you're pretending. And can I just be honest with you that that's kind of how it works? You know, you're you're pretending to be. It may feel like at first when you do your first rituals or spells that you're kind of pretending, you're like using movies, and like, am I doing this or are you pretending? And then eventually that slips away and you really do embody the practice. Um for sure, for sure. And then um, yeah, it's mainly the conversation really talked about like real life struggles getting in the way. And you know, sometimes the work is in the mundane and sometimes it's in the magic. And I think that's why, you know, it's really important to remember seasons in your life. You know, for a lot of us, if we can when we can retire, that should open up space for us to do more of the work, which is why traditionally in like a lot of indigenous cultures, the medicine women didn't become medicine women until post-menopause. Because at that point, they could dedicate time and energy to others instead of children or their own bodies. So your time will come one day. And you'll have suddenly look back and you'll have been doing this for 20 years, and you'll be like, oh wow. So hang in there. Questions for this week? I'm gonna go back to our tarot cards. So what does
Weekly Prompts And Closing Blessing
SPEAKER_01prosperity look like for you? What is um prosperous in your life that isn't money? So I want you to reflect on, you know, what is prosperous that isn't like money? Could it be food? Could it be friendship? Could it be love? Could it be comfort, right? And then going to the home, um, what makes you feel home? Like what is a sense of home to you? What does that feel like? And then what friends or family, guides, animals feel like home to you? And yeah, and I love that home came up because it's Venus season and we probably want to do a little home refresh. Uh for me that just means cleaning and rearranging. I'm not buying stuff, so you know, a free refresh just done with my own labor. Um, I hope you have a wonderful week. Next week we jump full into Sawin October, Halloween, all things, you know, fun and pumpkins and cats. So you definitely want to come back. Last to be.
