The ‘Seasons of the Witch Mabon Journal,’ crafted by Lorriane Anderson with illustrations by Tijana Lukovic, offers a beautiful sanctuary for this very purpose.

Each spread presents a unique card image, accompanied by thoughtful prompts designed to inspire self-reflection and introspection. These aren’t just empty pages; they are a sacred space where your contemplations can unfurl and nourish your intuition, as Lorriane describes, helping you find refuge for your musings.The journal beautifully captures the essence of Mabon, guiding you through themes of abundance, balance, gratitude, and the gentle art of letting go. With six new images augmenting the existing oracle cards, there’s ample opportunity to connect with your feelings and insights as the darker half of the year commences. For instance, the ‘Haunted House’ card might gently invite you to consider what lingering energies could be holding you back, while the ‘Crow’ card encourages reflection on symbols that bring comfort or serve as gentle warnings in your spiritual journey.What makes this journal truly special is its versatility. Whether you prefer to open it to a random page, explore the cards in sequence, or even use it as a companion to your oracle readings, there’s no rigid path. Its pages are meant to support your personal journey through autumn and beyond, offering wisdom not just for Mabon, but also through cards like ‘Kitchen Witchery’ and ‘Foraging’ that resonate throughout the year. It’s a wonderful tool for anyone looking to mindfully navigate the shifting energies of the season and cultivate inner growth and understanding.
