We returned yesterday from our annual attitude adjustment and rejuvenation weekend at the Northwest Fall Equinox Festival, presented by The Nine Houses of Gaia. Yes, I know it’s not Fall Equinox yet, but they often move it forward because of both campground availability and the fact that no one wants to go camping in the rain. This year it was held at a Girl Scout camp in the eastern foothills of the Oregon Coast Range.
The theme was gratitude for the things we harvested in abundance this year. One thing the magical communities of this area have in abundance is talent, and they are willing to share it. There was a Healing Temple, a Meditation Temple, a Tantric Temple, and a Divination temple. My husband spent an afternoon in deep trance in the midst of an array of healing crystals and I gave tarot readings and did lots of networking and catching up on my friend’s lives. Some of them we only see at this festival.
I also received two encouraging and affirming readings. The upshot of both of them was that it was time to expand and use my magic to manifest the things that are important to me. When we live our lives with intent, the experiences and lessons come together when and where we need them. The next card in The Tarot and the Hero’s Journey series I’m doing for this blog is The Magician.
