​In Alice Hoffman’s “Magic Lessons” there is a black wolf familiar (i.e. a partner spirit in animal form) to a young witch, who is named Keeper. I finished reading this book today, in a borrowed hour of alone time on my deck. Ivy kept me company, her shiny body pressed against my Kindle-holding hand, until the patch of sunlight became too warm for her dark fur and she retreated to a shady corner.

It is the perfect story for this change in seasons, full of magic and wilderness and love and lessons in surrender. Highly recommend to any fellow souls inching into witchy season with eyes locked on the moon and hearts craving deeper connection to the divine feminine or mama earth.

Keeper would have been a great alternate name for Ivy. My loyal companion, generous with her love, forgiveness, affection, attention and appreciation towards me. I see her soul and know it is good. Somehow, she believes the same of mine.

That’s really all I came on here to say. That I’m grateful for good books. This season. An hour of alone in the sun. And most of all, my keeper. ✨🌙
