And just like that, it’s October.
October has come,
Creatures of the night return,
Beneath the moon’s glow.
And just like that, it’s October. This month arrives like a jumpscare in a horror movie! October is the month of transformation, of falling leaves, lengthening nights, and a shift in the air toward something a little more mysterious. This change is already well underway with the Autumn Equinox having arrived last month.
October is woodsmoke, curling up toward the dusty pink sky of evening. October is the crunch of leaves underfoot on a moonlit walk. October is candlelight and candy bowls, the thrill of a good scare, and the warmth of a hot drink after a chilly night. October is here to stay, at least for the next 31 days.
Each month, I choose a theme to be my overarching focus throughout the course of the next several weeks. I decided to choose Transformation for October’s theme this year, and so, this month, I’ll be trying to make “October” synonymous with “transformation.”
The Monthly Almanac is a compilation of different things, all of which I’ve carefully chosen and curated to be a part of this month’s themed collection. The October Almanac features:
A spooky moodboard, and accompanying wallpaper.
This month’s lunar calendar.
A transformative ritual.
A reassuring affirmation.
31 thought-provoking journal prompts.
Sound good? I hope so! I spent a lot of time pulling all of this together, which is why The Monthly Almanac is for paid subscribers. You can upgrade your subscription below:
