Gopher Glen

 They had so many fun Fall, nostalgic items at Gopher Glen this weekend. I went with my boyfriend and his mom. We had tons of fun and I found this tasty Vermont Maple syrup I can't wait to put on my waffles when I make some.

Fall is upon us

Happy Fall Equinox

I look forward to vegan pumpkin pies, Fall leaves, cinnamon candles and taking my pup for walks in the brisk, beautiful, muggy weather. Things are changing since I've moved. I joined a witches coven. I was asked to join and I am excited because we have an online group so it will be fun to do cyber Pagan stuff and not just in person stuff. It feels good to be part of a secret sisterhood I can trust. I hope you are are having a lovely week. Happy Fall Equinox everyone. 

Favorite fall people and things!

1. Kristen Stewart!
I love her. I will always love her. She is a rad human being and an excellent actress. I loved the Snow White version she portrayed. Such a fun, gothic style type film. I like her in action films and hope she does more movies like that one and The Runaways and American Ultra! 

2.  Mary Mattern and her new cook book, Nom Yourself. 

Aaah I love this blogger and vegan cook. She is so excellent and badass! I love cooking from her book. I find a lot of yummy recipes. Sooo yummy and healthy. 

3. Kat Von D's Shade and Light palette. 

I really like the contouring and I like the videos on youtube that help me figure out how to contour my face better. Whenever I need to bring out different features in my face I use this. 

4. Vegan donuts from Whole Foods. 

Nom nom nom! Such delicious donuts! 

5. Fall baking.

I look forward to pumpkins and yes I am one of those people who likes loads of pumpkin everything. I made some vegan, pumpkin loafs. They are mini and so cute. I hope to eat a lot of pumpkin things and watch loads of Rocky Horror Picture show with friends this fall. 

6. My little skull dress and sweaters from HM  

I pair this with everything and I love the little skulls. I got this from my mom a few Christmas's ago. I love sweaters and I really like curling up near the fire and drinking hot cider with my honey while watching Tim Burton flicks. What are some of your favorite holiday movies? 

7. Tofu Curry.

I love comfort food so much and tofu curry is delicious. I had an old recipe I wrote down from a cafe' I worked at with friends years ago and my husband and I still make this often. 

8. Vegan cookies and Peets coffee. 

Peets is one of the few cafe's that cater to vegans and vegetarians. I wish Starbucks would have more vegan items on their menu :D that would be so rad. I keep writing to them with friends. Vegan pastries please! Also I hope they will some day start using some Almond milk. If you ask Peets they will make almond hot chocolates or almond lattes for you. 

Autumn is here

This autumn I bought some new spell and crystal books and found myself taking many hikes, having fall picnics under the trees. Looking at Brian Froud books over warm coffee and tea, picking up maple leaves to decorate my hearth and spending time with loved ones. What do you enjoy doing in autumn? What rituals, spells, mediations or prayers do you like to do? Fall equinox and everything that follows are the most comforting times for me and my family and friends. I love reading and talking about old Nordic tales. I love the rain, the thunder and the cool air that brushes against my cheeks, the wet ground beneath my feet. I am definitely a Winter and Autumn person. I hope you all have a wonderful fall and winter season and celebrate holidays if you do so no matter what your faith. I enjoy celebrating equinoxes, sabbats and other holidays since I have family of many faiths. My favorite things that I connect to are to celebrate the Norse viking rituals and festivals.  This year for Harvest season we put acorn squash, apples, leaves and candles on our altar along with one of my beautiful mjolnirs and said some prayers for protection and such. I wished for rain as well since we need that very badly and I also just asked a blessing for my husband and friends. I love celebrating Winternights and all the beautiful things to come. I have spent a lot of time in the woods lately.
