"A luz mudou:
a afinação do dó está mais escura.
E as canções da manhã parecem ensaiadas demais.
Essa é a luz do outono, não a luz da primavera.
A luz do outono: não serás poupada.
As canções mudaram; invadiu-as
o indizível.
Essa é a luz do outono, não a luz que declara
renasci.
Não a aurora da primavera: penei, sofri. fui libertada.
Este é o presente, uma alegoria do desperdício.
Tanta coisa mudou. E no entanto você tem sorte:
o ideal arde em você como uma febre.
Ou não como uma febre, como um segundo coração.”
"The light has changed:
the tuning of C is darker.
And the morning songs seem too rehearsed.
This is the light of autumn, not the light of spring.
The light of autumn: you will not be spared.
The songs have changed; the unspeakable
has invaded them.
This is the light of autumn, not the light that declares
I was reborn.
Not the dawn of spring: I suffered, I endured, I was freed.
This is the present, an allegory of waste.
So much has changed. And yet you are lucky:
the ideal burns in you like a fever.
Or not like a fever, like a second heart."

When i moved into my new place there was mint planted directly into the flower bed which had grown out of control as it is an invasive plant. I spent about 5 hours digging it out and repotting it. there was more than i could pot so i froze and dried some too!!
the dried mint was the first thing i have added to my little apothecary and i’m very happy with it.
i gifted 3 pots to family and have kept the rest!
Named after the Water Nymph, Minthe which was super exciting when i moved in as i felt much closer to my Gods almost like a sign!!

Happy Halloween
Hello, Bees! Happy Halloween 🎃
This year, I'll be celebrating Halloween with movies, spooky stories, and songs. I don’t specifically honor Persephone or Hades on Halloween, as I devote time to celebrate Persephone's Peredípnon at the end of each month.
Perídpnon - You can confer here 👇
I'm so happy because there’s a new book about Persephone in Portuguese, written by a Brazilian author, Obsidiyana. She’s such an incredible person, and I absolutely love her work!
