What a wonderfully lovely and supportive comment, dear Sanne. Thank you so much!

I’m delighted that this post shone all the more light on the history, folklore, customs and magick of February 29th for you. While the next one is a bit of a ways off at this point, thankfully we do have the knowledge that the Leap Year will return again in four times and can aim to plan our celebrations of it well in advance (if possible).

Please do not worry in the slightest. Take all the time you’d like to email me. As always, there is zero rush. Things have been quite busy in recent months and I’ve been online significantly less for the most part, due primarily to the serious medical issues that Tony has been dealing with (he just had his most recent kidney surgery on Thursay). I’m sure we’ll both have plenty to catch one another up on the next time we chat via email.

Many thanks again for your terrific comment and for your absolutely awesome support of my new blog. In a world where the blogging sphere as a whole has, by and large, changed drastically in recent years and comments are not nearly as much of a “given”, nor necessarily received in the same volume they once were (across the board), those who take the time to visit and comment here are even more of a encouragement and a beautiful treasure to me.

Oodles of hugs & blissful March wishes,
♥ Autumn

Hi Evan, thank you very much your comment and for letting me know how much you enjoyed this look at the magick involved with Leap Years.

You are absolutely right regarding the serious impact that seeing major issues, often at a national or global level, can have on our psyches and well-being. It is a sort of grief unto itself, really, and one that can leave us feeling very powerless at times.

While no one person could right all the wrongs in the world, of course, a lot of us do have the ability to do meaningful things that can help in some instances. Even just having open, honest dialogues about the way we’re feeling regarding these major world events is a positive step. Little is ever helped (let alone reminded) by keeping silent about serious problems, concerns and stresses.

Seeing the same number(s) so often that it passes the point of just coincidence or biased cognitive recognition is not uncommon. I personally believe that in a lot of cases, we’re being given messages or supported in other ways by these numbers.

It is believed by some that if you frequently see the number 8, it may be a message pertaining to inner strength, wisdom, balance, equality, fairness, and/or finances. Eight – much like nine – is also said to be linked to the concept of karma, amongst other things.

Thank you again for your comment. I really appreciate you visiting my blog and for letting me know that this post has even inspired you to possibly venture down a path of witchery. That’s an amazingly touching thing to be told.

Many sunny blessings to you for March.

Hello lovely Lynne, please don’t give it a second thought! A day that comes around but once every four years certainly has the potential to be forgotten (especially if one has a lot on their mind and plate throughout February).

Your Feb. 29th plans sound marvellous! I can’t knit in the slightest (never learned), but I wholeheartedly admire and marvel at those who can. And one can almost never go wrong with scones! I love a great scone and often include (GF vegan versions) as the bread component of offerings, dumb suppers, sabbat and esbat meals.

You’re very kind! Thank you! Back in the days of running my vintage blog, I kept a massive list of potential blog post ideas. It often totalled thirty pages or more and showed no signs of slowing down (until said blog was retired, that is). I’ve started a similar list of witchy, Pagan, and paper crafting related post ideas for this site and have no doubt that it too will get quite hefty in size as time rolls ever onward. 🙂

I find that creativity begets creativity (that’s a personal motto of mine) and, for me, that certainly applies to the creative act of blogging.

Thank again, my sweet friend. May you have a thoroughly marvellous and magickal Leap Day!

You’re splendidly sweet, Carol. Thank you very much for your touching comment and for visiting me here on my blog as well. I appreciate it with all my heart.

You are absolutely right regarding the loss of (or at least loss of widespread knowledge about) traditional information regarding the earth, seasons, and natural world as a whole. These parts of our existence still survive in the 21st century – indeed, life as we know it wouldn’t be here on this planet if they didn’t – but a lot of folks have lost touch (or never been in touch to begin) with it and I cannot help but think that this plays its own role in why our beautiful planet is in the state that it presently is.

Of course countless factors are at play there, but a shift towards being more in-tune with nature and what the earth needs (not just what we need from the earth itself) would likely go a long ways towards helping to stop or slow down some of the epic damage we’ve done to our one and only planet.

Thank you again. May you have a joyful and very magickal February 29th.

P.S. I LOVE that you can remember potential topics for future blog posts! If I don’t get them down immediately, in my world they are gone forever. lol 🖤

Thank you very much, sweet Ann. Same here! I treat them almost like a rare additional sabbat or holiday, and have adored them since childhood.

It surprises me in a way that we as a collective whole don’t make a bigger deal out a date that occurs so infrequently. IMO, it should be a fullfledged universal holiday.

I hope that you have a fantastic and fun-filled Feb. 29th.

♥ Autumn
