Favourite Things - September 2025
My monthly newsletter of things I am currently enjoying or am intrigued by or heartily endorse is now coming to you as a monthly post! I should’ve been doing this all along because I would love to go back and see all the past editions. Maybe I can figure out some way to create an archive now that Mercury is in Virgo…
Peaches 🍑
I recently asked my bestie to bring me back some peaches from the fruit-rich area of interior BC where she was working this August. (There is actually a town in BC called Peachland! Shout out Laurie, Juno, and Sunny in Peachland.) Instead of a peach or a couple peaches, she brought me back a whole flat from Keremeos and I posted about it on BlueSky and it became my closest-to-viral bsky post. Hahaha! So glad there are so many peach appreciators out there.
Cheese 🧀
A comment on my peaches post brought me to this new favourite thing: the Cheese Sex Death blog. How did I not know about this?! The internet is a huge, horrible, and beautiful place and sometimes there is good in the world, in the form of cheese-lovers. Now I am looking forward to my next New Year’s Day traditional charcuterie feast.
Specifically not to be missed, this recommendation to pair with the above fresh peaches.
Threads of Fate 🧵
I’m sure many of you have already gotten into this new podcast from my bestie Kira Ryberg featuring a bi-weekly decan deep dive episode with yet another one of my favourite people, Chloe Margherita. I’m biased because Kira is a dear friend, but her forecasts are soooo good for the astro-curious and professional astrologer alike. Maybe some day you’ll catch me as a guest on the podcast! 😜
Kira has also recently released a guidebook on the 12 houses that you should check out if you want to get deeper into how to read your own astrological chart or others!
Fixed Star Essays 🌟
Chloe Margherita has blessed us with another collection of essays on the meanings of the fixed stars in astrology. These are potent and gnosis-filled writings that bring a whole new layer of meaning to transits and natal charts.
Death and the Coffin Zine ⚰️
Ash of Eight of Pentacles Press has a zine for all of you cartomancers out there with an incisive spread and an essay on the Lenormand Coffin card and the Tarot Death card. Also check out Ash’s services if you are looking for a fantastic web designer/information architect with divination skills!
Salmon Magic 🐟
For the first time in a century, salmon are migrating all the way from the Pacific Ocean up the Columbia River all the way to Lake Okanagan.
The Lunar North Node and Trauma 🐲
Since it’s eclipse season and we just had a lunar eclipse in Pisces, take a moment and check out this writing from the excellent Azur.
Thinking About Eclipses 🌚
And I’ll leave you with some more on eclipses, from Joli at Bodhi Mindful.
That’s it for this instalment of my favourite things - see ya in October!
