Hey, y'all! Happy Autumn! May this season bring you all the abundance you've sown this year and help you prepare for the coming Winter. Here's our wreath for Mabon, the Autumn Equinox. I adore the colors and critters I used, and I'm absolutely chuffed to see it on my front door everyday! What are you doing to celebrate Autumn?

Hey, y'all! It may be late, but these readings still pertain! Here are the twelve tarot horoscopes for the Western Zodiac signs for the season of Lughnasadh, or Lammas. For these readings, I used the Moon Crystal Tarot by Alexandra Aquilina (ScreenGirlBerlin on Etsy; find the link below) and the Messages from the Mermaids oracle deck by Karen Kay, illustrated by Linda Olsen. I am not sponsored by either deck creator. Happy Lughnasadh! ScreenGirlBerlin: https://www.etsy.com/shop/screengirlberlin?

Hey, y'all! Continuing our series of witchy sabbat wreaths, here is the one I made for Lughnasadh, also called Lammas, or the First Harvest! There are tweaks I may make over time, but I'm overall pleased with the result and to have this new creation greet my visitors until Autumn.

Hey, y'all! Summer is officially here, as the Solstice has come, so let's make a new wreath for my door! I found some beautiful pieces to use this time, and judging by how bright the Sun was when I hung the finished piece, I think it was pleased! Have a cinnamon roll and a glass of sun tea for me.

Happy Litha! Today I have 12 readings, as usual, for each of the Western Zodiac signs for the season of Midsummer, which lasts until the beginning of August. I'm using the Tales of the Mystical Cats by Lunaea Weatherstone and Mickie Mueller and the Halloween Oracle by Stacey DeMarco. This sabbat, I felt drawn to a bit of a theme: Transformation! How do you need to change, or what do you need to keep in mind, to transform into the best version of yourself?

Hey, y'all! I hope you are faring well in this season of Beltane. Herein are 12 tarot readings for the 12 Western Zodiac signs using 3 cards from the Waite-Smith tarot and 1 card from the Isis oracle. I do hope at least one reading will give you any guidance you desire or require as we move toward Midsummer. Portals to other Social Planes: https://linktr.ee/alirien Regarding the time skip: As I explained the Sagittarius reading, I was hit with a severe wave of nausea and became quite ill for the remainder of that evening. The rest of the readings were done a few days later as a result. The lesson learned is never to leave the door to my craft room completely shut while I burn incense within, as the room has poor enough air circulation, even with the AC running, to cause a problem.

Hey, y'all! I hope you all had a wonderful Beltane celebration! Passage to other Realms: https://linktr.ee/alirien Beltane (also spelled Bealtaine or called May Day) is an old European festival celebrated in many places and cultures. The name "Bealtaine" comes from the Gaelic for "May." Beltane is a celebration of life, love, light, and fire that marks halfway between the Vernal Equinox (Spring) and the Summer Solstice. Many mark it as the beginning of Summer, as the Solstice to come is often called Midsummer. The holiday also celebrates the returning light and warmth of the sun as it continues to spend more time in the sky each day. There are many sources available for Beltane correspondences, including a book from LLewellyn Publications. I used a list from Flying the Hedge: https://www.flyingthehedge.com/2019/04/beltane-correspondences.html The beverage I refer to that I made for last year's celebration is May Wine (also called Maitrank, Maiwein, Maibowle, and Waldmeisterbowle), a traditional German drink for this time of year that primarily involves white wine, woodruff (a European ground cover flowering herb), strawberries, and citrus, such as lemon. Woodruff can be difficult to find in the US due to FDA rulings, but you can find syrups meant for alcoholic use, so check any liquor stores for your best chances. If you can't find woodruff, which I didn't last year, I've seen its flavor described as an "earthy, herbal vanilla," so consider vanilla as a substitute. Here's one article with more information on May Wine: https://www.flyingthehedge.com/2019/04/beltane-correspondences.html I, of course, recommend doing more research than just reading a single source on all things spiritual and pagan, as practices naturally vary from person to person and place to place. Happiest Beltane, loves, and I'll see you soon with tarot readings!

It's finally Spring, and to celebrate, I have made a wreath for our front door themed for Ostara, the ancient celebration of the Spring Equinox. I used only materials I already had that matched the correspondences of springtime, including an animal figure that made my inner child quite happy! This was a super simple project, and I hope it inspires you to make something similar for your own home. Find me in other planes: https://linktr.ee/alirien

To celebrate a year of being together, Chris and I traveled to Boston for a week! We're both history nerds, and neither of us had been up that way before, so it seemed like a perfect destination! It certainly was cold, but the trip was so worth it, and I highly anticipate returning in warmer months- perhaps with some period costume!

After various technical problems and a general end-of-the-year slump, I decided it would be easier and better to compile my clips for YuleVlog into a single video, rather than trying to record, edit, and upload twelve days in a row. I will succeed at doing this vlog every day thing next time. I hope you all had a merry Yule, a happy Christmas, and a lovely New Year, and I wish you all well for 2021. May it bring you all the joy and none of the sorrow that 2020 despondently lacked. Portals to Other Realms: https://linktr.ee/alirien

Apologies for the poor audio quality, my phone microphone must have been obstructed, which is why it sounds muffled. However, I think that adds to the quiet, dreamy feeling I wanted for this video. Either way, I'll work out those sorts of kinks for the future. Just to clarify, I HAVE NOT been sponsored or sent this box by Spooky Box Co.
