It is believed that this name originates from the fact that it was a signal for hunters to prepare for the upcoming cold winter by going hunting. This is because animals were beginning to fatten up in preparation for the winter season. Moreover, since fields had recently been cleared out under the Harvest Moon, hunters could easily spot deer and other animals that had come out to search for remaining scraps. Additionally, foxes and wolves would also come out to prey on these animals.

The earliest use of the term “Hunter’s Moon,” cited in the Oxford English Dictionary, is from 1710. Some sources suggest that other names for the Hunter’s Moon are the Sanguine or Blood Moon, either associated with the blood from hunting or the color of the changing autumn leaves.

• Day of the Dead- (Spanish: Día de Muertos or Día de los Muertos) is a holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, though other days, such as October 31 or November 6, may be included depending on the locality. It is widely observed in Mexico, where it largely developed & is also observed in other places, especially by people of Mexican heritage. Although related to the simultaneous Christian remembrances for Hallowtide, it has a much less solemn tone and is portrayed as a holiday of joyful celebration rather than mourning. The multi-day holiday involves family and friends gathering to pay respects and to remember friends and family members who have died. These celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember funny events and anecdotes about the departed.

• All Saints Day- is a Christian solemnity celebrated in honor of all the saints & martyrs of the Church, whether they are known or unknown

Activities:

• Dedicate an altar to loved ones who have passed

• Boil a simmer pot to cleanse your space

• Have a silent dinner

• Light a candle for your loved ones & yourself

• Decorate your house and/or altar

• Release negative energy & cleanse your with a ritual bath

• Pull tarot cards to see what may be in store for you ahead

• Cleanse, clean & de-clutter your space

• Leave offerings to the Fae

• Journal & reflect on your accomplishments, challenges & everything you did this year

•Go on a nature walk

• Learn a new form of divination

• Have a bonfire with your friends and/or family

• Carve pumpkins

• Express yourself creatively through art, music, ect

• Visit a cemetery & help clean off areas that need it or to visit a family member/ ancestor & leave an offering

• Hold a seance

• Bake spooky treats & bread as offerings

• Refresh your protection magicks, sigils & rituals

Samhain is a Gaelic festival on 1 November marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or "darker half" of the year. Celebrations begin on the evening of 31 October, since the Celtic day began and ended at sunset.

This fire festival is celebrated on October 31st & is considered the Pagan New Year. It is the first Sabbat on the Wheel of the Year, a cross-quarter festival & the third (final) harvest festival of the mundane year. This is the time when the veil between the worlds of the living & those who have passed is the thinnest, which allows greater communication between the two

Some believe this is the time of the Goddess's mourning of the death of the God until his rebirth at Yule. The Goddess's sadness can be seen in the shortening, darkening days & the arrival of cold weather

Seeds to Plant In Fall

Some plants need to go through winter in order to germinate! You can trick them into thinking this has happened by freezing/refrigerating them in early spring, or you can save yourself the trouble, plant them in fall, and let nature do the work. (As with all things gardening, this will vary depending on your climate! This list is from Fedco Seeds (my beloved) and is suitable for Northern zones with long, cold winters)

Herbs:

Bergamot

Borage

Catnip

Hyssop

Lavender

Lovage

Marshmallow

Motherwort

Parsley (give them a nice long time for their 7 trips to Hell and back)

St John’s Wort

Creeping Thyme

Yarrow

Flowers:

Butterfly Weed

Calendula

Chinese Lantern

Dyer’s Coreopsis

Blue Flax

Hollyhock

Honesty

Joe Pye Weed

Johnny Jump-Up

Kiss-Me-Over-The-Garden-Gate

Larkspur

Lupine

Perennial Phlox

Sweet Annie

And, not a seed but one of the most important fall plantings:

Garlic!

My herb jungle! I want to repot everything in smaller containers still into a bigger size before winter, but we’ll see. I need soil. And worms for the compost. And containers. But we’ll get there!! The chives are doing so good now and I have unlimited parsley, basil, thyme and lemon thyme, summer savory and various mints. The rosemary and oregano were slow starts but they’re coming along! I have sweet Annie as well that I’m not really sure what to do with.

The air is unclean, and the sun has too often been an unblinding orange disk. Still, there is no orange sky or fire. Still, a walk outside after a housebound day fills me with life.

This week, I’m basking in contrasts. The pleasure of a lazy day at home after a busy day out and about. The pleasures of the outdoors and moving and exploring after a lazy day at home.

Today's walk through well-trodden ground was unusually invigorating, shaking me out of my latest too-much-internet slump. Afterward, I went to check out Woodman’s Food Market for the first time, driving through parts of Buffalo Grove I’d never ventured into, so reminiscent of Naperville. My singular aim was obtaining Herr’s Carolina Reaper cheese curls - they disappeared from Jewel just as they’d become an essential in my spicy snack rotation, and I hadn’t been able to find them anywhere in forever. With the help of Instacart, I learned they might be available at this store.

The store was massive and packed with a wealth of stuff. I got a whole ’nother walk out of winding through its many aisles, getting the lay of the land. My brain teemed with a sense of discovery I hadn’t felt in a while. I found my beloved cheese curls. Know what else I found? My favorite chocolate and organic teas I’d been ordering in bulk since they disappeared from other stores. It was like a return to the past - and so were some of the prices. Favorite frozen meals at prices I hadn’t seen since before COVID. SeaPak tempura shrimp for $6.99, regular price - I’m lucky if I can find it on sale for that little elsewhere. Some cheap organic produce too. The only letdown was a bag of apples I thought cost $3.99 but learned at checkout was $3.99/lb, or $8.99 total. That one was more expensive than the equivalent at other stores (although I’m a little suspicious because looking online suggests it’s $3.99 for 3 lbs - and this was a case where I had trouble scanning the barcode and an employee helped me. I’ll check more carefully next time). Also couldn’t find any organic cashew butter - would be nice to find a good replacement for the horribly price-gouged one I’ve been buying at Whole Foods, or the same one for a lower price, but oh well (last new cashew butter I tried was Once Again from Fresh Thyme, which is so awful I can’t believe it’s on the market and voluntarily eaten by people).

All in all, it may be a bit farther from home, but it’s definitely a place worth visiting once or twice a month to stock up on some stuff. With the prices they have, some things aren’t even worth buying elsewhere anymore. The drive is also more pleasant than most of my shopping routes here.

I got back home after 9, another first in a while, and still had an excess of energy for bouncing around to music. I ate my chips, had lots of vegetables, eventually wound down and wrote most of this post, read some Annie Dillard, and made the mistake I’ve so often made lately of taking a nighttime nap that would end up going on for hours. Last night, I resisted doing this and was better off for it. Stupid habits form all too fast - then I have to fight to shake them off.

Now there’s construction going on in the parking lot, probably adding more uncleanness to the air. But I’m safe enough inside with my purifiers, and far enough from the noise to sleep soundly again.

I’m a lot sexier than I am domestic but I fancy that I can do the “domestic goddess” bit on occasion. When my husband has been gone awhile on one of his truck driving trips, I usually want to have his favorite dinner ready for him. He absolutely loves roast beef cooked with potatoes, onions, and carrots. It’s one of my fav dishes so it’s a win-win. I started using a slow cooker about a year ago and now I’m using it for most meals. A slow cooker really brings out the flavors and its makes meat just super-tender. Everyone likes variety in their favorite dishes, so I’ve been experimenting with different spices. On the most recent roast, I used thyme, sage, and parsley. I also basted the beef with butter every hour.

When my husband came home, he said over dinner, “Sybil, I swear to God this is the best roast beef you’ve ever cooked!”

“Thank you,” I said. I knew it was savory, with a very strong flavor, and the meat was beautifully tender.

“I’ll go further than that, darling,” he continued with a broad grin. “This is one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my whole life! Heck, it might be the best.”

The heavy meal made both of us sleepy. We lay in bed for a bit just cuddling. But it was still early evening when, both of us quite awake, Paul asked, “Do you want to be worshipped, my lady?” I kissed him on the mouth, a long wet kiss. Then I turned my head so he would kiss down the side of my face and neck. Then I told him, “I want to be worshipped. I want you to get down on your knees and worship my feet.”

My husband got off the bed and sank to his knees. He kissed and licked my feet. I closed my eyes and savored the feelings that traveled from my feet up. I played with my own breasts, squeezing and pulling on them, as loved my feet. I don’t know why, but my feet seem to be unusually sensitive as touching them gets me turned on. I actually get wet when a shoe salesman takes a measurement of one of my feet and helps me try on a shoe.

“Lick the bottoms of my feet,” I ordered and he did as he was told.

I turned around on the bed and told him, “Worship my ass while I get off!” He kissed over my ass cheeks and rubbed his face against my butt. Then he put his face between my ass cheeks and licked my asshole. I kept masturbating while he was licking my asshole until I came like a house afire. “I’ll ride you now,” I said. He lay on the bed and I rode my husband’s dick like Annie Oakley until he exploded inside of me.

Even though he was done, I was not. “I want more!” I told him.

“You’ll get it, my lady,” he said.

“Eat my pussy,” I ordered.

I lay back while he at my pussy for what must have been close to an hour and I reached a second orgasm. “Ohhhhhh!” I moaned as I came. It was great!

One more thing about good sex: it is followed by GOOD SLEEP!
