Lonely cards, blackberries, magic in your coffee cup, and more!

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!
