I know last week I was writing to you about Santa and Christmas.
But the thing is I celebrate both. Maybe you do too. At Winter Solstice we celebrate the rebirth of the sun. Although it is the astronomical start of Winter, it is also the time when the days begin slowly to lengthen once more. Reminding us that our of darkness light is born and that the earth although sleeping will awaken once more. There are so many ways you can celebrate Winter Solstice, but one of my favorites is storytelling. As the natural world becomes a little quieter and the nights stretch out before us, this is a wonderful time to gather together and share stories, or songs or poems. Humans have gathered around fires and told tales throughout history. It is a way to connect, to imagine. Do you have a favorite story? A fairy tale perhaps? A seasonal yarn? Or perhaps you would like to spend some time this Solstice in the darkness. If you settle yourself into the darkness and let it surround you, what do you notice? How do you feel? What images and thoughts arise? What stories do you tell yourself? Are you afraid of the dark? Light a candle and let the light return. Notice what you notice. How does this little flame shift the way you feel? What does it spark inside of you? Journal prompts- In the darkness I see… The light awakens… The spark I want to grow is… Are you joining us for the Winter Circle? This small group will be coming together 6 times through the Winter months to tend to our sacred selves by exploring the themes of Winter, Deep Rest and Self Love. Using the magic of spell work, embodiment practices, expressive arts and community we will nourish ourselves through this Season. As a bonus, Winter Circle registrants have access to the Diving Deeper Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox Rituals ( as well as their replays) and will be included in the Become the Seer-Prophecy 2024 workshop on December 29th. Our Winter Solstice Ceremony is live today at 1 pm PT. We have only one spot left in the circle. Is it yours? The Cauldron-Winter Solstice digest is available now! You can purchase the hard copy of this 40 page winter magazine here (this is available only in the US at this time) Or you can get access to the digital version here Become the Seer I’m a huge fan of cartomancy and I have an embarrassing number of tarot and oracle decks to prove it. Each year I do a card spread to look forward to 12 months ahead. The last couple of years I have been offering this as a 2 hour workshop which includes guided visualization and time for us to practice this inquiry together. This year I am offering it on December 29th at 4 pm PT. You can sign up here As always, I can’t wait to make magic with you!
