Wise Ones, I wish you a Blessed Winter Solstice

This is the shortest day of the year here in the Northern Hemisphere and the astronomical start to the Winter Season.

Today I invite you to step outside and look around. 
What do you see?
What is the earth doing where you live? 

Here some of the trees still cling to their colorful leaves, the earth is muddy, the air cold and damp, the evergreens are sharing their rich colors with us, a reminder that even as things die away there is regeneration at work too. 

Ask yourself what you are shedding or have shed. 
Choose something to represent this or write it down on a piece of paper and then give it to the earth. 

Let today be a day of sitting with that liberated space inside of you. 

Feel into the edges of the void left when we let something go. 
What is the medicine here for you?

Be with the darkness. Discover your curiosity about what it holds. 
Is it comfy here?
Cozy even?
Or do you find you are drawn to the light?
Craving illumination?

There is no wrong way to experience this time.
Just information to be gained.
Experience to be integrated. 

Gifts and Offerings
I love to sing! There is something truly magical about creating vibration in your body with your voice. What if you sang to the sun today? 
Sing it back into the sky. 
Sing the days a little longer. 
Sing in gratitude. In grief. In joy. 
Whatever you are feeling let your voice carry it. 
Need some song ideas?
A few years ago Erin LaFaive of Full Circle Herbals and I created a Winter Solstice Playlist. 
You can listen in here 

Lunar Calendar Printable
Every year I create a lunar cycle calendar for you and a list of the new and full moons with their zodiac signs. 
This year is not different, and the Solstice seemed the perfect time to gift it to you all.

The Winter Circle still has one spot remaining. 
This 6 Circle deep dive into the Winter season, creates a container to nourish yourself through the cold months, with magic and community. 
Come join us via Zoom where we connect in a small group to cast winter spells, play with expressive arts, feel into the Winter with embodiment practices and let ourselves discover the enchantment and support a circle can create.
We will be working with the themes of  Winter, Deep Rest and Self Love. 
Included are the community rituals for Winter Solstice (available as a recording) and Spring Equinox (live in March). 
Plus when you join you will be automatically registered for the Become the Seer-Prophecy 2024 workshop coming up on December 29th.

Blessings to you and yours on this shortest day and longest night.
May you always find the light in the darkness.
