November is here, and our theme for the month is Descend. We’re stepping into the Cauldron of the Crossroads, the last new cauldron in this year’s wheel. We’re coming full circle and getting ready to return to the cave where we began the year.
This month I’m offering something new alongside our usual Monday Community Practice Lives: At the Crossroads, a three-week series of short video workshops, each about 15 minutes. Each one has a simple practice or two, prompts for journaling or quiet reflection, and a cauldron prayer or reading to carry with you through the week. You can watch before Monday’s live, after it, or on its own whenever you need a sacred pause. As always, you don’t have to catch up or go backwards. Start right where your feet are.
Week 1: Gathering the Year We’ll place the whole year into the cauldron and sort it gently: what’s ready to release, what still wants to steep, and what is sweet and true and asks to be savored. This is a time to harvest the wisdom of the bright days and the heavy days alike.
Week 2: Pausing at the Crossroads An acorn holds every possibility, but it has to be planted before it finds its direction. We can’t set up camp in the middle forever. We’ll cross a threshold, make a small crossroads on the altar, and ask as-if questions to choose with discernment and intention, without needing to have it all figured out first.
Week 3: Letting Go of the Shore The task of the Cauldron of the Crossroads is to forgive what didn’t come to fruition this year and to choose a way forward. We’ll soften into what is, write down what we’re setting down, and practice unclenching our lives as we let go of the shore and enter the flow. Then we’ll begin our descent toward the cave of winter.

May you hold your plans loosely
and your own heart tenderly.
May you pause at the crossroads
and listen well and wisely.
And,
may you remember
that the magic is in your own hands.
Keep living your magic,
Molly
