Wordsmithing Magic from the Crossroads
This week’s card points to the gentle energy of early love, specifically the tenderness and respect that is more than physical sensuality. In addition, it may ask us to pay attention to the wonderful friendships in our lives that have an undercurrent of attraction, but they remain chaste for any number of reasons.
As I do every several years or so, once again this Feb. 14, I invite you to join me as we reject the patriarchal cult of dead martyrs, guilt, and consumerism. Instead, let us reclaim this day of love and celebrate the divine gift of all consensual love, beauty, and pleasure.
Light the final candle on your Solstice wreath! Ring the bells! The long, slow descent of the Sun has ended, and the ancient promise of rebirth is come. Life and Light now return. This is the day of Solstice – Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and Happy Summer Solstice below the equator!
Join the celebrations, for this is one of the most powerful and happy holidays in the Wheel of the Year! Light fires, dance with the Wild Ones, and surrender to enchantment.
Today is the final candle lighting if you’ve not yet done it. Advent is over, the promise is kept, the birth has come. Peace and joy to all.
For our friends counting down to Christmas with their candles, here is the info for the last two. Also included today is my annual magical money tale.
We are facing some of the darkest times ever seen. But we’ve made a global, holy circle that cannot be broken. Rejoice! The Child of Promise is born.
Fast now comes the darkest night, so light 3 candles for our rite. Join us–men & women, sons & daughters. Give thanks for our sacred waters.
Today is the final candle lighting if you’ve not yet done it. Advent is over, the promise is kept, the Light has come. Peace and joy to all.
We’ve come to the last Sun Day and the final candle before Solstice and Christmas. Happy Chanukah, blessed night, we bring now our fourth Light.
