Special Episode – Folk Magician’s Notebook – September 2022

Summary:

We do some introspection with a couple of solitude-focused cards, watch the moon dance through the equinox and Michaelmas, learn about the good fortune in your teacup, hear a tale about listening to your dreams, and learn a little useful broom-crafting!

We highly recommend that you find an almanac or lunar-oriented datebook to help you with planning out your own magical year. Some we can recommend:

• The Witches Almanac

• Llewellyn’s Witches’ Datebook

• Benebell Wen’s Metaphysician’s Planner

• Montine’s Book of My Shadows

• Or your local Farmer’s Almanac!

Our folktale this month is “The Peddler of Swaffham,” recorded by Joseph Jacobs and available on the Archive.org site (public domain).

A good, brief introduction to tasseomancy is The Stranger in the Cup, by Gregory Lee White.
