Autumn is a special time for me when I stay in the mountains - at remote villages, wandering in the forest and climbing mountains to gather last herbs. And now to find myself in the heart of chaotic Hanoi, it’s completely different experience…
These are the ways to celebrate autumnal transition, Mabon while staying in the chaos of city life:
***share the blessings***
open free tarot readings at your favorite coffee shop
volunteer your skills for project \ organisation which inspires you
invite your friends to sit together in autumnal moon light and share some food and stories
give away things
***slow down and turn your mind towards meditation***
don’t rush for new projects
cut off senseless noise (music, small talks and messaging)
drink more water and keep healthy diet, enjoy the fruits of the season
walk with awareness, breath with awareness
burn candles in the evening while drinking your tea and reflecting on your accomplishments, goals, approaches to the things, journal about that
***do magic***
sigils on balance, healing, letting go old things, get rid of blockages
do shadow work with tarot cards, journaling or create shadow altar and explore its opportunities
to dive into the energy of this time, pray, dream, visualize and do other witchy things - create a space filled with autumnal leaves, fruits, sweet gifts of nature, put there some ancestor photos, add symbols of death and old age
***have long walks in parks and around city lakes, watch old people and kids***
***de-clutter your house or backpack, finish old projects***
***share stories with travelers you meet on the road***
***drink local tea***
***use crystals: carnelian, lapis lazuli, tiger eye, amber, serpentine, amethyst, clear quartz
and herbs: rose hips, chamomile, yarrow, marigold, sage, saffron***
