Wordsmithing Magic from the Crossroads
Rejoice this happy day, when we dedicate to new magical studies, renew our devotions, undergo initiation, and, under the light of the Owl Moon, welcome the transformation of the Crone to the Maiden. For Imbolc is Life’s Promise: no matter what the ice and cold may deliver, Nature is bigger, stronger, and will triumph.
Now we arrive at the day before Winter Solstice. It marks the ancient celebration of Mother Night. Make way for the Dark Goddess, who holds us at our beginnings and our endings. Welcome the gift of quiet pause preceding the Yuletide birth.
In view of the noise, the divisions among us, the ceaseless rancor, and escalating attacks on our principles, we need this ancient time out.
Rejoice, for the magical gifts of Winter Solstice are here! Probably the oldest known sacred celebration on Earth, we’re still going strong. So join with us in merry measure, and visit my blog for lore and Yuletide treasure.
Even If you’ve struggled to observe the Halcyon Days’ pause and quiet, this night is a gift for us. Turn off the screens for just a little, find your way to stillness, and heed the counsel of the Great Dark Mother.

This is the day before Winter Solstice, and the ancient celebration of Mother Night. Make space for the quiet pause before the Yuletide birth.
