I sympathise. I used to dread Winter. Not anymore. I think the dark period is very active though. Our thoughts and creativity emerge from the dark spaces of our minds. Life emerges from the darkness of the soil and of the womb. As there can be no Bealtaine without Samhain, so there can be no light without dark, no fiery arrow of imbas without that dark period. The dark is fertile. I feel that you will use it well. Hope you're feeling better very soon. 💕

I started to feel the cozy crafting call to autumn back toward the end of Aug, beginning of Sept. I usually start edging into Autumn and Halloween before the Summer is over... I was REALLY done with Summer at the end of August and wanted it to hurry up and end already!!! I really LOVE this time of year... and love Halloween... but I realised I do this every year... I get excited about Halloween, Autumn and Crafting, starting evening projects, cozy projects, only to spend so much time fantasing about it then wake up and have almost let it pass me by...

I realised, in Astrology, the Sun enters my 12th House around this time every year.... the 12th house is a house of darkness, the subconscious, inner world, things that are hidden, and essentially the sun becomes engulfed in darkness... I realised I've been caught up in a kind of dream or lucid sleep walk the last month or so.... and realise this has been happening for years... and now I know why!! Its my astrology!!

I'm only now starting to come back to reality... albeit a little later than usual... but the sleep walking is beginning to end now!!

Hope you feel better soon x
