Sagittarius Season: Leaving 2020 With A Bang

Sagittarius Season: Leaving 2020 With A Bang

  SAGITTARIUS SEASON Element: Fire Planet: Jupiter House: Ninth Quality: Mutable  Polarity: Gemini Key words: Creativity, Travel, Knowledge, Fun Astrologers use many factors to help paint the picture of a person, and still it’s never an entire scope. That would be impossible! We’re all full of contradictions, just like the birth chart. This season’s forecast is meant to be a helpful tool; nothing less and nothing more. Please trust your OWN intuition, take what you need from this post, and leave the rest. Sagittarius Season: November 22nd - December 21st Like the other fire signs of Aries and Leo, Sagittarius is defined by...

White Sage is Problematic: Our Blue Sage Alternative

White Sage is Problematic: Our Blue Sage Alternative

  What do you know about sage?   If you follow any ~witchy~ vibe Instagram accounts (like ours!) chances are you’ve seen it all over your feed. Simply, Sage is magical. It’s been used for many, many years to clear and bless spaces, as well as people. “Smudging” is the term you’ll often hear used when discussing all varieties of sage. It’s the practice of burning dried plant material, traditionally white sage, to purify something or someone. White sage is what most people are familiar with, and honestly what we tended to work with in the past, but recently we’ve...

Portals of Scorpio Season

Portals of Scorpio Season

    SCORPIO SEASON: October 22 - November 21   On October 22nd, 2020 the Sun enters Scorpio. Scorpio has a commanding reputation, and for good reason. Ruled by Pluto, power and control are hallmarks of the sign and thus the season. Ahem, it’s no coincidence that the The Presidential Election falls during Scorpio season every four years. All of us begin to tap into our most visceral desires, consciously or otherwise. But as with everything else in astrology, acknowledging nuance is very important. While people hail the great return of “Spooky Season” every year, to relegate late October to...

The Magic of Shadow Work

The Magic of Shadow Work

  Hey friends! It’s Erin from TBH Magic back again.  Ritual Shoppe owner Angela Monaco and I spoke in length last month about October’s astrology and the shifting tides of our collective reality. The days are getting shorter. Darkness is greeting us earlier each night. Scorpio season and Halloween are looming...and not to mention the U.S. Presidential Election (scary!). These energetics had us visiting some dark thoughts and discussing the idea of shadow work. If you run in any mystical circles, or frankly just have an Instagram in 2020, you’ve probably seen this term making its rounds. But what exactly...
