Autumn Rain

 Bring on the Autumn Rain Japanese word: Rakuyou - meaning fallen leaves. Setting intentions:  Be positive about the future. Let's celebrate the first month of fall together!  September is almost over, so we must receive its gifts with open arms while it's still here.  The misty and muggy days of this month are as beautiful if not more so, than the summer days of August.  Let's enjoy them.  I spend my fall months pinning on pinterest collecting stickers, and chatting on facebook, with friends.  I even go outside for a walk in the foggy afternoon, sometimes.  It's a great feeling when the heat of summer begins to trickle away.  I was born in the fall so I truly love it.   Ancestors  The dark, early evening twilights are the best time of day in fall, I believe.  It's when the vampires begin to stir and the monsters begin to creep about in graveyards.  I look forward more and more to Halloween because it is about celebra...

 πŸ‘»πŸ’€Welcome to my book of Shadows! πŸ‘»πŸ’€ I hope you are having a magical day. Merrily met!  Today's Mantra:  I will enjoy my work without worrying about the results of my work. Japanese term: Shubun no hi (Fall Equinox) Paganism  What is Paganism?  Paganism is a religion that includes worshipping many Gods. Welcome, boys and ghouls.  I am bipolar, and here to discuss my views on life and share my interests.  I enjoy learning about Paganism. It helps me to ground myself in nature and makes me feel fulfilled.  Being bipolar has always caused me a lot of manic and depressive episodes, but with the help of medication and therapy, I am better able to deal.  I have learned how to manage my mental health and now have more time for interests such as Japanese, dating, and blogging.  I am a solo practitioner without a coven, so I'd like to take this opportunity to reach out and engage with the pagan community.  I am also a Scorpio, ruled by t...
