Named after Octo which was the eighth month in the old Roman calendar after New Year, October is associated with financial advantage, called the Way of the Serpent in ancient Law. It is a month that is associated with discovering the truth, especially about old secrets, visiting places to which you feel spiritually drawn, ending relationships going nowhere fast, for peaceful legal separations, divorces and terminating contracts, for starting again in a new place or career, developing clairvoyance, finding your soul mate or reviving an intense relationship that has cooled but is based in deep feelings, and for getting what you really want through your own efforts.

Good also for success in competitions and games of chance, for reaping rewards of earlier efforts, for all money and property matters, speculation and learning new skills and technology. 

In October, avoid repeating past mistakes, taking up extreme exercise regimes or crash diets, joining any organisation or religion that may feel obsessive or manipulative, and avoid sulking instead of sharing your feelings with someone who cares. 

Bariel offers us the ability to transform self and situations, the power to start over again or revive a stagnant situation and protects against spite for spite’s sake, jealousy and gossip. 

His candle colour is indigo or burgundy, which is also the colour of October. 

The crystals of October are fiery obsidian, black pearl and blue aqua aura, quartz bonded with gold. 

The fragrances of October are mimosa, pine and mint. 

The special flower of October is the marigold, the flower of abundance, the satisfactory completion of all legal matters and protection; a flower traditionally associated with increasing love and commitment and the calling of new love. 

Debi and I continue to work on a range of new online courses. We are creating a 13 Part course A Year and a Day in Druidry(the first module available very soon which includes a Treasury on Celtic animals, deities and magical meanings.

We are planning fun courses for Christmas round the fireside too, including ones on Playing Cards, Dice and Dominoes inspired by raiding the grandchildren’s games cupboard.

On the site Cassandra posts monthly information on the full moons and seasonal celebrations and other updates where possible

Debi and Cassandra will answer emails on all matters magical and spiritual., but we do receive many so be patient with us.
