Sometimes we need a quiet moment. Here’s one, after our first snowfall, from our road that leads to Laurel Hill Cottage. We’ve had more snow since.

Watch now, and hold fast. For we have woven together a mighty alignment of the Solstice promise. Today we celebrate Life’s insurmountable triumph.

Today we step out of our ordinary cares and the workaday world. This ancient practice offers a pause, to honor the Yule with peace and kindness.

Tonight, people across the globe in every continent will celebrate the second Sun Day of our Advent Solstice Sun-Wheel ceremony. Please join us.

The Solstice Sun Wheel Advent Ceremony returns for Year 17. Join us, for you and I are the necessary, awaited ones who tend the Light’s rebirth.

My annual tradition of marking Samhain includes sharing much of its magic and lore with you, my readers. May your rites be blessed.
