249. MONTHLY MEDICINE: November is Grief

Deepest blessings to you at the crest of a new month, Wild Souls, on this very potent time of the yearly spiral. Happy Samhuinn, Halloween, and Day of the Dead to all those who celebrate and acknowledge them. 

The theme for November is Grief, and it is no wonder that it is. Whether witnessing the horrors happening in the world right now, or working through our own deep personal process, grief is at the center of this moment, and deserves our full attention. We are in a time of suspension and change, one that is highly liminal and unknown (hello, last few months in a Chariot year), which can bring up highly vulnerable, tender feelings. 

Our work in November will be to keep our hearts and eyes open, to nourish a soft front and a strong back (thank you to Alua Arthur for this sentiment), and to tend to ourselves and one another in these times in a way that is sustainable and useful.
