What's your favorite Halloween or Samhain experience? I'll go first in the comments.

Thinking about @Donna Conrad post about how most people setting their intentions wrong for a money rituals. Maybe it's the time of year but I feel strongly pulled to do a ritual. However it's not that I NEED money to buy anything. Not even bills. I thought about it and at first it was about security. But the longer I sit with this it's about some sort of validation. Validation that my skills and knowledge are worth 'something' - and in my case that is money. But validation is also not the right word...Can somebody relate to this and maybe help me to untangle this even more so that I can set the right intentions?

If you haven't been on Donna's Monday Affirmation call, I strongly recommend!! To give a little background, I dabbled in wicca over 20 years ago, met my love, and drifted away, just life stuff I think. Due to work stress, mental health, and some other factors, the last 12 months have been kind of awful. I made some decisions at the beginning of this summer, first I chose to leave a toxic job, next I chose myself, and third I chose to reallign almost everything in my life. In a manner it was like a tornano rolling through. It has been quite a process, and a large part of my focus has been getting back to my spirituality, finding my joy, and considering what I actually want my life to look like moving forward. Scary, exhillarating, nerve wracking, relief, and hope are only a few of the feelings of the last few months. Honestly, I found this group randomly, not really positive at the time that I wanted this to be part of my life pivot focus. The affirmation call has been AMAZING! Its a perfect way to start the week and keeps me focused and in the flow. There are lots of things happening and my rediscovered intuition just knows I am on the path I am meant to walk (the woodsy one with twists and turns and lots of nature 🤣). Thanks you SO SO MUCH @Donna Conrad for creating this community, I always feel welcomed and a part of, and I am learing so much.
