How Magical is October?

Updated: 31st January 2025

When I first pulled the White Stag card from the Conscious Creatures Oracle back in January, I had no idea what significance it would hold for October. The affirmations tied to this mystical creature are "I Am Magical" and "I acknowledge my profound inner magic and embrace the next stage of spiritual transformation." As October unfolded, the deeper meaning of this message became crystal clear—and I hope this post brings you a few magical insights as well.

A Shift in Energy

Originally, I had planned to write about the difference between Wolf and Dog as Power Animals, but the words just weren’t flowing. Then, something shifted after Mercury Retrograde ended on October 3rd. That very day, the White Stag card appeared again—this time for someone Lorenzo and I had just met. It felt like a sign, urging me to explore the different types of magic that surround us and the magic we bring into the lives of others.

Magic is Everywhere

Magic exists on multiple levels, revealing itself to those who choose to see it. As the White Stag card continued to appear throughout October, I tuned in to its significance and discovered four distinct types of magic at play this season:

1. Physical Magic

This time of year, nature offers a spectacular display of transformation. Trees glow with autumnal brilliance before shedding their leaves, creating a natural cycle that feeds and shelters birds and animals in preparation for winter. The crisp air, golden hues, and earthy scents all contribute to a sense of enchantment in the physical realm.

2. Spiritual Magic

October is well known for its spiritual potency, culminating in Halloween, a time when the veil between worlds is said to thin. This makes it easier to connect with ancestors, spirit guides, and loved ones who have crossed over. Many cultures recognize this as a sacred period of remembrance, honouring those who came before us.

3. Emotional Magic

Emotional magic is that warm, tingling feeling that fills you with joy, love, or deep connection. It’s the moment that makes your heart swell—like when I had the absolute privilege of holding the tiny hand of a lemur. These magical moments remind us of our capacity to experience deep, soul-nourishing emotions.

4. Mind Magic

Perhaps the most practiced yet underestimated form of magic, mind magic influences every aspect of our experience. Our thoughts shape our emotions, actions, and ultimately, our reality. Like a double-edged sword, the mind can either uplift or hinder us—but when harnessed positively, it brings forth synchronicities, manifestations, and endless possibilities. Magic is never more than a thought away.

Invite More Magic Into Your Life

There is so much magic in this world—more than we often realize. The key is awareness. How many magical moments have you experienced today? If you’re unsure, take a deep breath and ask to be shown something magical in your world.

For the next day, week, or month, try this simple practice:

• Take note of everything that feels magical, whether it’s something you witness, perceive, think, or feel.

• If nothing stands out at first, step outside and tune in. Magic can be found in the shimmer of raindrops on a leaf, the laughter of a loved one, the colors of the changing trees, or the warmth of the sun on your skin.

The Gateway to Gratitude

When you start recognizing the magic in everyday moments, you naturally shift into the vibration of gratitude. Gratitude, appreciation, love, joy, freedom, and empowerment sit at the highest frequencies of the emotional scale. Living in this energy transforms not just your perspective but your entire experience of life.

So, as October continues to weave its spell, how will you embrace the magic around you?
