(For the Living, the Departed, and the One You’re Calling In This Thanksgiving)
In a world overflowing with fleeting texts and hurried conversations, a gratitude letter is a gift of presence. It is a moment of pause. A soulful acknowledgment of love. A devotion in ink.
As we approach Thanksgiving, a season rooted in reflection, appreciation, and communal warmth, writing a gratitude letter to your beloved can become a transformative ritual. Whether your love is beside you, in spirit beyond this world, or still on their way into your life… this letter is a sacred offering.
My tip for your letter being welcomed? Write it in their language. Let us discuss this.
Below, you’ll find structure, inspiration, and gentle instructions for creating a gratitude letter tailored to where your heart is right now.
☆☆☆
Why a Gratitude Letter?
Because love deserves language. Because feelings deserve form. Because gratitude deepens connection.
Gratitude doesn’t have to be emotional. The idea is finding the things we are truly grateful for, not being demanding or manipulating through false gratitude.
A gratitude letter:
strengthens intimacy
softens vulnerabilities
heals emotional distance
honors memory
invites future love into existence
It is prayer and poetry combined.
it creates more of what you appreciate.
☆☆☆
How to Begin
Before you write… Create a moment.
Light a candle Pour tea or wine Sit somewhere comfortable Slow your breathing
And ask yourself:
What have they given me, emotionally, spiritually, and experientially, that changed me for the better? Then feel good about what you find.
You’re ready.
☆☆☆
Structure of a Gratitude Letter
You can follow this simple flow:
1. Opening & Address Speak to them by name or with a term of endearment.
2. Acknowledgment of Presence Where are you in life, emotionally? Where are they in relation to you?
3. Thank you for… List specific things. Not generic. Specific.
4. Memory or Moment Recall a detail or shared experience.
5. The way they changed you: Describe the shift in your heart or your worldview.
6. What you wish for them Blessings, intentions, love but only mention things you know they would appreciate.
7. Closing sentiment Something personal.
☆☆☆
If Your Partner is With You Now
Write to them directly.
Focus on:
small kindnesses
humor shared
resilience
growth together
the mundane beauty
the extraordinary tenderness
Example starters:
Thank you for the way you look at me when I’m tired…
Thank you for choosing me, again and again…
I love how safe I feel with you…
Tell them what you appreciate that you rarely say.
☆☆☆
If Your Beloved Has Passed Away ☆ sorry for your loss, and may you feel their presence through your gratitude. 🙏
This is sacred ground.
Writing to a departed love is a form of grief alchemy.
You can:
thank them for the life you shared
reflect on lessons that remain alive in you
acknowledge the pain of their absence
celebrate the eternal nature of your connection
express what you never got to say
Example starters:
I miss how your laughter filled the room…
Your love made me braver…
Thank you for the years that shaped me…
I carry you in every sunrise and every quiet night…
This letter becomes: honor + remembrance + healing. This is a ritual and may assist in healing. You will cry, focus on healing. You may place this letter in your Union Altar.
☆☆☆
If You’re Writing to a Future Partner
This is manifestation work.
A gratitude letter for the partner who has not yet arrived is one of the most powerful tools for intentional love.
Write as if they already exist. As if they are already on their way.
Thank them as though they are already loving you beautifully.
Example starters:
Thank you for choosing me with your heart wide open…
Thank you for the laughter we will share…
Thank you for being the partner I prayed for…
Thank you for cherishing my soul…
This creates:
energetic alignment
emotional clarity
subconscious preparation
spiritual invitation
A love letter as spellwork.
☆☆☆
For Thanksgiving
Here are prompts you can include:
Write about…
the love you have received this year
the lessons love taught you
how love expanded you
how you have grown in giving love
what you are grateful love will bring next
Add a blessing, like: May warmth find us always. May love light the way forward. May gratitude multiply what we cherish.
☆☆☆
End With a Ritual
After you finish the letter:
fold it carefully
press it to your heart
whisper a blessing
store it in a special place or read it aloud to your partner or leave it under your pillow
Our words become altars.
☆☆☆
A gratitude letter is more than written appreciation.
It is: a mirror of the heart, a celebration of love, a bridge between worlds, past, present, and future.
May this Thanksgiving bring you warmth, memory, and beautiful expectation. May love find you wherever you are.

Goddess Message ☆ Hekate’s Whisper as Scorpio Season Fades
Daughter of moon-fire and midnight pathways, I come to you now as the veil thins and the season of shadows begins its slow exhale. You stand like the witch in this card poised at the threshold, wand in hand, heart awake, sensing the shift. The last embers of Scorpio season glow around you, asking for one final offering: truth.
Hekate speaks: “Child, you are charging more than your wand you are charging your will. Every choice you have made in these deep waters has carved a new doorway. Now you walk toward the underworld with me, not in fear, but in initiation.”
You have been descending inside yourself for weeks, exploring what was hidden, shedding skins, naming desires that once felt forbidden. Your magic has been ripening in the dark. Now, as I guide Persephone back through the shadowed corridors and into her throne, I turn to you and ask:
What power have you reclaimed in silence? What truth have you finally admitted? What path do you choose now that you cannot unsee your own depth?
This card shows the witch at her threshold soft yet strong, shadowed yet radiant, ready yet unhurried. That is you. Your wand hums because your spirit has remembered its own voltage.
As Scorpio season ends, I bless you with:
• Renewed intuition you will trust what you feel in your bones. • A witch’s steadiness the courage to act without rushing. • The clarity of descent seeing what truly matters beneath the noise. • The torch of the crossroads allowing you to choose the path that honors your becoming.
The air turns cool, the leaves begin their golden fall, and the veil of the world grows thin. This is the season when Persephone descends into the Underworld: not as a victim, but as a queen returning to her throne. Her story is one of cycles: light and dark, innocence and wisdom, life and death and she invites us to walk beside her as we, too, turn inward for the winter.
Persephone’s descent is not an ending: it is a transformation. When she steps beneath the earth, the world above grows quiet so that we can listen. She teaches that every soul must descend at times to face what lies beneath the surface, to find beauty even in shadow, to trust that spring will return.
If these messages serve you, consider following me on Ko-fi for divinations articles and readings (free and daily) and premium weekly/ monthly messages.
I have a goal to create my own tarot deck, and you can help me reach this goal through this link:
Below are 8 messages from Persephone, to guide your spirit as the world slips into the deep stillness of the dark months.
1. The Descent Is Sacred
Do not fear your descent (the moments when life feels quiet, uncertain, or heavy). Every cycle of growth begins in darkness: like a seed beneath the soil.
2. You Are Both Light and Shadow
You are not meant to choose between the two. Balance is found in embracing both the radiance and the mystery within you.
3. Transformation Is Not Gentle
Growth often asks for surrender. When you feel undone, remember that you are being reshaped into something stronger.
4. Rest Is a Ritual
Nature rests now: so must you. Stillness is not laziness, it is preparation. The body and soul both need time to regenerate.
5. Remember Your Power
In myth, Persephone returns each year crowned as Queen. Let that remind you: what once felt like loss can become sovereignty when you own your story.
6. Honor the Ancestors
This is the time to speak their names (to remember where you come from, to let gratitude heal what history has broken).
7. The Darkness Is a Teacher
Do not run from it. The shadows you face are not punishments; they are invitations to wisdom.
8. Spring Awaits, But Not Yet. First, we must face the cold snow.
Be patient. The seeds of your renewal are growing quietly beneath the surface. Trust that your light will rise again in its own perfect time.
As Persephone descends, so do we: into reflection, into silence, into depth. This is the season to honor endings and embrace stillness, to let go of what no longer serves and prepare for what will bloom again.
Light your candle, whisper her name, and remember: descent is not defeat. It is initiation.

Hecate is the ancient goddess of magic, crossroads, and the moon: a guardian of thresholds and guide through darkness. She stands between worlds (the living and the dead, the known and the unseen) carrying torches to light the seeker’s way. Witches honor her as the mother of intuition and transformation, for she teaches that true power begins within, the courage to face shadow, to choose one’s path, and to walk it in wisdom and light.
Both Hecate and Hekate are correct spellings.
“Hekate” is closer to the original Greek form (Ἑκάτη), while “Hecate” is the Latinized version that became common in English texts. Many modern practitioners, classicists, and witches choose Hekate because it feels truer to her ancient roots and carries that old-world resonance.
So if you feel drawn to writing “Hekate,” trust that—sometimes the ancient spelling holds a certain energy (a vibration that feels closer to how her name would have once been spoken at the crossroads, under the moon).
Hekate’s Daughter – Halloween Poem
My cauldron black, My broom and cat, Of books, a stack, My spirit talk.
A witch I am, Spells I chant, My vibes command, Magically, I stand.
I am Hekate’s daughter And I beg of my mother Protection and blessings On Halloween for me & others.

Witches: Hecate Messages for Halloween
Witches, gather your light: the veil thins tonight. The air itself listens for your whisper, your intention, your call to the unseen. This is not a night of fear: it is a night of remembrance. The Goddess walks the crossroads, and her torches burn bright in the mist.
Hecate speaks softly to those who listen: Do not hide your magic under silence. The world has long feared what it cannot understand, yet you are not here to be understood, you are here to remember who you are. You are the keeper of intuition, the daughter of moonlight, the one who sees what others overlook.
In her presence, all paths open (and some close). Hecate teaches discernment: not all doors are meant to be entered, not all spirits are meant to be called. She asks for courage and balance, the wisdom to know when to release and when to reclaim.
So light your candle at midnight and speak your truth aloud: “I walk with Hecate in shadow and in flame. I claim my path, my power, my name.”
Let this Halloween be more than a night of costumes; it is a crossing. Let it remind you that being a witch is not about appearance, but remembrance (it is about honoring the wild, ancient current that flows through your spirit).
Have a safe Halloween,
Do not forget to read my Hecate messages and I have some Hecate poetry.
Hekate keeps on coming through for me and I CAN NOT ignore her, I must write about her. The goddesses command.
I had a synchronicity with Themis (Greek goddess of Justice), and it was incredible, I think there were deep messages about my relationship.
PS. If you heard the news about my hometown in east Cuba (that had never been popular until it was ravaged by hurricane Melissa). My town, that blessed little hole escaped with minor damages. The worst was one roof damaged, the river grew flooding nearby houses to the level of their beds, and I assume minor damages not worth mentioning for the people there now. This is because this town was protected by the mountains!
Sex magic could be manipulative if ones partner is unaware of the magic or if one is magically doing something wrong to them sexually.
I believe that to be dark magic and not long lasting. It’s the kind of magic that causes separation when a third party gets in the way of the connection.
I however practice sex magic with my beloved twin flame partner, and I asked for his permission, which he granted me.
I don’t use his energy without his consent.
I also have started working with Aphrodite, and her mystery is sexual 80 % at least (my opinion)
Is anybody else out there a practicing sex magician?
I have been on a different spiritual path since 2020. I have explored many different alternative beliefs, and I have adapted much into my personal practice.
Anyway, I started considering myself Pagan.
I also told my kids I am Pagan. They had some questions and one of my younger kids was surprised when I told her I used to be a Christian.
I used Halloween to teach my kids how Halloween stemmed from a Pagan celebration
We started observing Samhain alongside Halloween
I already started this before they realized during Christmas, I added elements of Yule
My oldest daughter wants to meet her twin flame…
I talk to the about Astrology and they know everyone’s sign and they get treated like their sign.
Design by Lilli with the Astrological sign of every member of our family
My kids find the bible strange and compare it to mythology
My kids are so opinionated, and they even tell me, this is my opinion and “it will not change”. I am proud of this because, having 4 beautiful daughters (and a cute, cute son), I do not want to raise kids that will go along with the bad ideas of others.
Lilli, who might be the most opinionated and is certainly the most loud criticizes the bible all the time. It was actually hilarious: I was driving the girls to Jiu-jitsu class, and they started talking about the bible. Lilli, in a very potent voice starts saying how creepy the bible is and how cousins marry and the weird bible stories and then she made this mistake:
“Why have a son marry his mother?”…I was very confused. I immediately start thinking and the only such instance I remember was from the Greek play. When Lizzie, my oldest and most educated and wise says, Lilli, you remember that from my Greek class. Lizzie had the confidence I lacked in that moment to question Lilli and then we all had a laugh.
I was working in my yard as a plant was not doing well, and I realized it got flooded. Additionally, our peach tree had a rough summer in the AZ summer.
As I got outside, a big storm was coming from the mountains. A mountain range that creates its own weather and is known by the natives as having a God of thunder. I will tell you about this mountain later as it is a mysterious mountain range I can see through my bedroom window, said to be haunted by the locals. I have feateured pictures there, I camped there, have you seen my camping picvtures, I also hiked there, the overnight camping in a tent would have been the more interesting part. This mysterious mountain range is the Supperstitions mountains in Arizona.
As I worked on the yard, very naturally, the following words started coming out of my mouth:
By the power of this storm This plant is sad no more.
By the winds and thunder roar I'm protected as I explore
I welcome the power of the storm, Blessed by the lighting and the thunder's roar
Storm magick harnesses the raw, untamed energy of storms to fuel spells and rituals. Practitioners of storm magick work with the intense power of lightning, thunder, wind, and rain to amplify their intentions, channeling the storm's natural forces into manifestations of change, protection, and transformation. This type of magick is deeply connected to the primal forces of nature, invoking the storm's energy to break through obstacles, cleanse negativity, and ignite powerful shifts in one's life. To work with storm magick, practitioners often perform rituals during a storm, using the elements' potency to empower their spells and connect with the storm's fierce, dynamic energy.
