October Happenings

October has arrived and so has spring. It has been a long, and somewhat cold and wet winter this year. The upcoming sabbat (seasonal observation) is Bealtaine, one of the four "lesser sabbats" that mark the gateway to the season, and in this case, it is summer here in the Southern Hemisphere. However, it is not uncommon to find some people celebrating Halloween at this time of the year, something that always seems out of place to me. If you would like to know more about Bealtaine, in this video I share some information from my book, Dancing the Sacred Wheel:



This month is shaping up to be a month of markets commencing with Sunday, 2 October 2022 where you will find me back at the Semaphore Community Market.  Here I will be available for tarot and oracle card readings as well as having an assortment of LunaNoire Creations products available.  The Semaphore Community Market will be held in St Bede's Hall, located at 200 Military Road, Semaphore, and will be open from 10am until 3pm. 

The following weekend, Sunday, 9 October 2022 I will be offering readings, as well as having an assortment of LunaNoire Creations products available, at the Adelaide Wellness Fair which is being held at the John McVeity Centre, 182 Peachey Road, Smithfield Plains.  This market will be open from 10am until 4pm.

Later that evening on Sunday, there will be a Full Moon Meditation and Ceremony held at Semaphore beach to honour the full moon, which will enter the astrological sign of Aries at 7:24am the following morning, on 10 October 2022.  

If you would like to join likeminded people in a lunar meditate and ceremony, you can purchase your ticket through Eventbrite.

On Saturday, 22 October 2022, I will be heading over to the Yorke Peninsular to take place in the Copper Coast Body, Mind and Soul Expo 2022 that will be held at the Copper Coast Sports & Leisure Centre, 1 Doswell Centre, Kadina.  In the afternoon I will be offering a talk about working with the Dark Goddess entitled "Gifts from the Shadows".

The following weekend, on Saturday, 29 October 2022, I will be available for tarot and oracle card readings at the Kapunda Show while on Sunday, 30 October 2022 you will find me at the Happy Halloween Family Fun Day Market which will be taking place at the corner of Main Street and Mawson Lakes Boulevard at Mawson Lakes, from 10am.


WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS

I will be hosting a number of workshops throughout October, starting with the Poppet Making workshop on Saturday, 15 October September 2022, that will commence at 10.30am.  In this workshop you will be crafting you own personal poppet for whatever purpose you desire.  Choose from health and healing, protection, success with study, to gain employment, fertility, establishing positive relationships, removing negative influences, and more.  Limited places are available so make sure you get your tickets.


Sunday, 16 October 2022 will see the final Gathering Around the Cauldron for the year where we will be discussing the potential conflict between Bealtaine and Halloween at this time of the year.

On Tuesday, 18 October 2022 I will be running a Healing Your Inner Soul mini workshop which will focus on identify past life traumas that we may have carried over into this life as well as healing Inner Child issues.

As we are all energetic beings, we can carry energetic imprints from previous lives into our current life.  These imprints can manifest as personal triggers that end up preventing us from living our best lives.  We can also be the result of imprints that have been passed down our ancestral line, generation after generations.


ONLINE PRESENTATION

At the end of the month, on Thursday, 27 October 2022, I will be offering a presentation entitled "Joining Kali's Cosmic Dance" as part of the Magickal Women Conference.  This presentation will be aired live at 7pm (British time) which will equate to an early morning for me here in Australia, and will also be recorded.  If you are interested in getting your ticket to this on-line event, you can do it here.

What a busy month.

And do not forget that I am still after submissions for an anthology about working with the sabbats and seasonal rites here in the Southern Hemisphere.  More details can be found here.
