From a friend of mine… she does this each season…I removed the parts about gods and goddesses to keep it religion free for us.
Another turn of the wheel <3
A blessed Yule to all my kith and kin, and a happy first day of winter!
The light is returning <3 Today is the winter solstice.
Celebrate with feast and song and joy and laughter. This is usually a time for the community to gather, but we must stay in our own homes. Contact your loved ones using modern technology!!! Call, video chat, do a car drive-by and honk and wave <3 Please be safe <3 <3 <3
Even though winter nights are long and cold, each day will be brighter. Tonight we light the Yule Log to herald the returning light and guide it through this longest night. It gives us strength and comfort.
As I’m typing this, the sun keeps breaking through the clouds, bathing the yard in liquid sunshine – a mix of rain with sunbeams. There are water droplets on branches that sparkle like little stars. It’s beautiful.
This year has been like that as well. Moments of light that crack through the darkness. We need to hold on to that. The light is returning.
Tonight we ready for the long sleep until spring. Share your bounty. Many are struggling right now so choose kindness over greed. Give hope. Give help. Give warmth. Give comfort. Be safe and protect everyone around you by wearing your masks, washing your hands, social distance!
Look to your wildling neighbors – the birds and beasts of the wood. Share food and fresh water when ice locks the world in place.
I am so grateful for the love of family and friends, kith and kin, and I wish you all a blessed Solstice. May the coming year bring more joy than sorrow and may your path be light and easy.
So mote it be <3

Here it is summer solstice and I’m glad days will get shorter now. Longing for winter already. I miss the cold - its so freaking hot here now! Ceiling fans on all day and we’re walking around half naked lol!
Saw the planets conjunction this evening with naked eye. My sister and I stood in driveway after sunset. Wish I had my binoculars with me but I left them behind at my husband’s house. All the same it was amaaazing to see the two planets a millimetre apart!
