Practical Magic Autumn

The air smells faintly of woodsmoke and spices, the sun brushes its soft fingers against trees showing off their red and orange leaves, and, somewhere in 90s New York City, Meg Ryan is buying a pumpkin, while I, in 2025 Albuquerque, NM, am also buying more festive gourds than I know what to do with. Last year, I wrote about the delights of Meg Ryan Fall—the sacred simple pleasures of cozy sweaters

Quotes by Maria DeBlassie (?)

“Despite what we’re taught in the self-help community, wellness and mystic joy aren’t something you gain and then just have. You have to continue to work on it daily, like exercise or diet.”
― Maria DeBlassie, Practically Pagan - An Alternative Guide to Magical Living

“She was the Weeping Woman, sure. But I was the woman who made rainwater out of tears. I would use them to water my crops through this drought. When people bought my fat turnips and sharp radishes and long, thick carrots, they would taste of freshly turned futures, hope, the bittersweet taste of things past, and the salty tang of possibility. This I would do to remind others that we are the seeds we plant, not the histories forced upon us. This I would do to wash away the sorrow from my soul.”
― Maria DeBlassie, Weep, Woman, Weep

“I'll let you in on a little secret: This book is magic. All books are. So much so that they are picky about who picks them up and reads them.”
