5 Ways to Clear and Bless Your Home this November

 
In the Northern Hemisphere, the beginning of November is SO PERFECT for clearing and blessing.

Summer is certainly gone, and fall is inching toward winter as many of the flowers disappear and the trees surrender the last of their leaves. Samhain is passed, but the holiday season has not quite begun. There is a singular stillness: a clean energy filled with clarity and peace. Plus, the wheel of the harvest year has reached its end, so a new cycle has begun. 

Like I said: perfect time for clearing and blessing.

Not sure where to start? I've got you covered with these 5 simple ideas. Do one or do them all. Or riff on them and make them your own.

1. Burn white sage. Oh I know it's the old standby. But sweet and simple are perfect for this time of year. You know: no frills. 

2. Tie a bundle of fresh rosemary with blue ribbon and hang it over your front door. This brings freshness and clarity to the home while energetically protecting the home for winter and blessing the new cycle of the year that lies ahead.

3. Clear out your cupboards and fridge. We're about to enter a time of abundantly flowing food and a time when food banks will be more than happy to take your extras. So get all the expired and spoiled stuff out, and donate the stuff you know you'll never eat. You'll love the way your kitchen feels!

4. Clear digital clutter. Never underestimate the power of deleting all your old emails and downloads. Your home - and mind! - will feel so much clearer. 

5. Bake pumpkin or zucchini bread. As you stir the batter, direct positive energy into it through the spoon. As it bakes, send love and light into the loaf as you chant,
 
Sweetness, light, abundant wealth,
Laughter, joy, and vibrant health,
Fill our homes and fill our lives,
As we throughout this winter thrive.

As it bakes, feel and sense the blessing moving throughout your home in the form of the delicious scent. Then serve the bread to your family and/or loved ones (and eat some yourself!) to internalize the magic.

Beauty for Your September Morning...

To the Light of September By W. S. Merwin When you are already here you appear to be only a name that tells of you whether you are present or not and for now it seems as though you are still summer still the high familiar endless summer yet with a glint of bronze in the chill mornings and the late yellow petals of the mullein fluttering on the stalks that lean over their broken shadows across the cracked ground but they all know that you have come the seed heads of the sage the whispering birds with nowhere to hide you to keep you for later you who fly with them you who are neither before nor after you who arrive with blue plums that have fallen through the night perfect in the dew

Lulu's Library #4

Here dear friends is an update from my family's reading. Again, a few (new) favs for Lulu's Library: Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin: TOO FUNNY! This fabulous book is a nearly step-by-step guide to hosting the perfect dragon party. Just make sure you don't forget to serve tacos, because dragons LOVE tacos!!! What Forest Knows by George Ella Lyon (with a nod to Illustrator August Hall!): The best word to describe this book is 'beautiful.' Beautiful illustrations (very, I might add), simple but beautiful text, this book about the changing of the seasons and what the forest 'knows' has become a bedtime favorite, and my little guy loves to point out details of the pictures and discuss them. Check this one out: I'm sure it will become a favorite. Good Night Yoga by Mariam Gates: This sweet bedtime story is written as a series of yoga poses, guaranteed to get your little one interacting, but in just the way you would want them to at bedtime.

The Ellie@Home 2020 Summer Reading List

   Good Evening and Happy Memorial Day! This post is far later than I planned thanks to technical difficulties (sob, sob) but here it is, better late than never! The earlier version of this post was wry, witty, and weird, and I don’t recall any of it now on my THIRD attempt. So without further ado (or headaches) I’m going to dive in. I have 34 books for this summer’s list. Because I can’t order from my library, I scoured my shelves for books that I haven’t read or have not finished. I managed to come up with 28. I grabbed one of Josh’s books, and two of Liam’s, then on a whim treated myself to a copy of Caleb Carr’s The Alienist and Angel of Darkness for my Kindle. Then, just when I thought I had enough (plenty!) Henry Roi from HellBound Books kindly sent me a review copy of The Horror Writer: A Study of Craft and Identity in the Horror Genre compiled and edited by Joe Mynhardt. This is at the top of my reading list, partly because it sounds really interesting and informative, a
