🍂 October: My Season of Strength
Introduction
When asked what my favorite month of the year is, I never hesitate. The answer is always the same: October. It’s not just a month it’s a feeling, a rhythm, a personal ritual. October holds a special place in my heart, and every year, it reminds me of who I am and who I’m becoming. Becoming a witch! Joke!
Why October?
Yes, my birthday falls on 11 October, but that’s only part of the story. October is the month that carries the most memories for me, some joyful, some painful, all meaningful. It’s the time of year when I feel most alive, most reflective, and most ready to rise again. While others may associate October with Halloween or autumn leaves, for me, it’s a season of quiet transformation. I think I was born to be a witchery! that why. I think it favorite month of the year for everyone.
The Birth of October Olive
Back in secondary school, I created a character named October Olive. She was mysterious, poetic, and full of questions about love. Also, she wrote letters, long, heartfelt ones, filled with metaphors and emotion, doesn’t care about grammar, she just write. She gave without judgment. She was imaginative, dreamy, and deeply emotional. That version of me. Octa, sometimes Octa Poppy– became my secret identity. A safe space to explore who I was becoming.
October Olive wasn’t just a name. She was a reflection of my inner world. Through her, I expressed thoughts I couldn’t say out loud. She was the girl who believed in love, in words, in the power of giving without expecting anything in return. Yeah! Favorite month of the year!
October as a Personal New Year
Every year, October feels like a reset button. It’s when I reflect on the past, let go of what no longer serves me, and make space for new beginnings. It’s the month where I’ve made some of the biggest decisions in my life quietly, intentionally, and often with a sense of clarity I don’t find in other months.
October is my personal new year. Not marked by fireworks or countdowns, but by a deep, internal shift. It’s the time when I gather the pieces of myself scattered by the storms of the year and begin again. I knew October is the most witchery.
October’s Energetic Shift
October teaches me that strength doesn’t always roar—it can whisper. It reminds me that healing takes time, and that reflection is a form of growth. It shows me that memories, even the ones too sacred to share, shape who I am.
It’s a month that invites me to slow down, to listen, and to reconnect with the parts of myself I often neglect. It’s a season of softness, of courage, and of quiet power.
when i said power i mean in witchy way. They said, October brings shorter days, colder nights, and a sense of stillness. For many witches and spiritual seekers, this shift signals a time for introspection, shadow work, and transformation.
It’s a season of letting go—mirroring the falling leaves—and preparing for renewal. its the season for the witches. Im one of them, in poetically way. kidding.
Closing Thoughts
So when someone asks me what my favorite month is, I say October—not just because of my birthday, but because it’s the month that brings me back to life, to my home. It’s the month that holds my stories, my strength, and my soul. October is where I begin again.
