Mark your calendars so you don’t miss out on these events!
[[ Moon Phase: Last Quarter Moon 
]]
Depending on your location, you will be blessed by the light of the Last Quarter Moon on Monday, December 7th - Tuesday, December 8th
The last quarter moon is a time of rest and the banishment of negative energies or forces in your life.
For more information about Moon Magick and specific spells recommended for the last quarter moon, visit the guide Moon Magic: Spells for Every Lunar Phase: Last Quarter and the Waning Moon Magick Guide.
No matter the moon phase, you can find current moon information for your location as well as complementary spells and rituals to draw on its energy on the Spells8 Lunar Spell Page

this year, going to have a yule log. It feels odd to not have a tree, but this entire year was a bit odd so…lol.
I am so envious. 
Seriously, though, thank you for sharing the amazing pictures. It is a wonderful thing to be so close to the beach and it sounds like a perfectly refreshing day. Good luck on the moon magick and activating the bracelets.

clothes. In the past, I have mentioned my close friend, Moon. I get to see her in person for the first time in a few months. Also, it’s my best friend’s 
birthday 
6AM EST is already noon here in CET! 
Sending greetings and love from the future~ 
I’m curious as to what kind of yule log- the 
or the 
? Both are excellent choices 
Ohhh you make me miss the ocean. Thanks for sharing these lovely scenes!
Wishing you a peaceful and restful week without any appointments. Stay warm and cozy- it sounds like it’s gotten quite chilly there on the Cape!
Well done on the tarot reading- I bet it feels good to be drawing on your magickal power and re-emerging yourself in the craft 
May the good feelings continue to flow as you draw good energy towards yourself! Blessed be
