The Art of Slow Gifting

At its heart, slow gifting also honors the planet by reducing waste and supporting ethical choices. A jar of homemade jam, a hand-knitted scarf, a well-loved book, or a donation to a cause close to someone’s heart can be just as special—if not more—than something bought in haste. By focusing on quality, usefulness, and authenticity, slow gifting transforms the act of giving into an expression of care and respect, reminding us that the best gifts often cannot be found in stores.

Samhain Book: The Samhain Companion

Today, Samhain is recognized as a spiritual forerunner of Halloween, but it retains a deep sacred meaning for many who follow earth-based traditions. It is often honored as the Celtic New Year, a time to release what no longer serves, set intentions for the coming season, and pay respect to ancestors. The thinning of the veil makes this festival especially associated with divination, ancestral communion, and honoring those who have passed on. Fires, feasts, and rituals remind us of the warmth and light we carry through the darkest season. In this way, Samhain is not only about endings, but also about the seeds of new beginnings planted in the fertile darkness.

For example, you might spot that you’re spending far more on subscriptions or dining out than you realized—and be able to redirect that money toward your savings or debt repayment.

Introduction to Mabon

Mabon ap Modron is a figure from Welsh mythology whose name means "Son of the Mother." He is often depicted as a divine youth, associated with light, rebirth, and the mysteries of transition.
