Knoxville Sage Newsletter #48

This week in magick!

Greetings, Magickal Souls!

It is Thanksgiving week!! And my gratitude’s this week abound!

I am thankful for co-founder Candie! Around this time last year I brought this little newsletter idea to her and she was totally on board! We work together to bring each edition and I bring them to fruition! But if it wasn’t for her, I would probably still be stuck at “idea 💡”

And of course as vegan cheezy as it may sound. I am grateful for you all. Our readers! That give me a little accountability each week to keep it going without even knowing you are. (yay ADHD and depression) You share your events, you go to events we share! We are building a little mystical community and I am so thankful for it.

As I have been dealing with a “loss” of sorts for awhile. No longer included in a group I was a part of. I am trying hard to build my own. And you are helping! Thank you!

P.S. If you have events to share please email us! [email protected] the deadline is 4pm Tuesday for the Wednesday edition. (for example anything going in today was supplied by 4pm yesterday.)

Sage Advice

Since it is Thanksgiving we are of course going to lean into being grateful. Gratitude itself is magical!

Practical Ways to Practice:

  • Observation: Notice your habitual thank yous and be intentional about them.

  • Daily Actions: Pick one interaction each day to reflect on and express genuine thanks.

  • Journaling: Keep a gratitude journal—write down specific things you’re thankful for, whether big or small.

  • Guided Meditation: Try a 5-minute gratitude meditation that uses your senses to anchor you in the present.

Robert Emmons, psychology professor and gratitude researcher at the University of California, Davis, explains that there are two key components of practicing gratitude:

  1. We affirm the good things we’ve received

  2. We acknowledge the role other people play in providing our lives with goodness.

Don’t just let this holiday pass as another obligation try to be present and show real gratitude for what you are a part of and what is being created.

Tess Whitehurst has some fun ways to weave a little magic into this Thorsday. Check it out here

Find gratitude in the little things and your well of gratitude will never run dry.

Night Sky: Moon & Saturn

The waxing gibbous moon floats near the steady golden light of Saturn on the evenings of November 28 and 29. They’ll set around midnight.

Adopt Your Next Familiar

Meet Chloe, the 2-year-old Labrador Retriever mix. This bubbly woo girl lives for playtime, especially if it involves a tennis ball and an enthusiastic game of fetch.

With her snowy white paws and curly tail, Chloe’s got just the right touch of mystery to her Labrador charm. She’s grown up around kids and loves their playful energy, making her a wonderful family companion.

Chloe can be a little picky about her canine friends, so a meet-and-greet is a must — but once she picks you, it’s forever love!
