Monday’s full moon is part of the first lunation (complete moon cycle) of the new solar year, the new moon of winter solstice. This is the lunation I call Dreaming moon. Dreaming moon is its own special time between times, time of the true power of winter arriving. When we reckon with stillness. The need…

Hny & New Moon Blessings~
The new moon is Sunday, a wonderful alignment with the solar new year. A time to be willingly intentional about a new cycle of life. We can be useful with the ease and descent, the pause retreat and reset of winter / solstice as teacher right now. Retreat within, commit to this. Take care of…
Yuletide greetings this Full Moon
The full moon blesses us with her sweetness this Saturday just before midnight here on the midatlantic coast in the States. Two days later is Yule, the winter solstice with the longest night of the year. Somehow we’re here already, midway through the season of the dark that begins at Mabon. After Tuesday, the nights…
Make a hearth a home at Yule
Under the disseminating moon, which is the phase after she is full, it came in kitchn witchn so I moved into apple medicine with some mulled apple cider to consecrate my hearth. I had recently started my practice again. For me that’s a recovery term about day at a time living which includes sacred prayer…
Winter Solstice. Animism, Ancestor Weekend, the sweet call of Yule Tide.
Backyard just before dawn Wednesday morning, the outlines of bare branches seem almost purple against a heavy gray sky. To the eye all else appears barren, but the intuitive eyes, the heart eyes, the soul eyes–a ripeness of movement motions the air. Some Solstices are deeply still, some you feel the quickening so ripe it…

Prayer Visions. Alchemy @ Solstice Tide
This time of year the darkness is a weightless velvet air cloaking everything. Darkness is, it becomes us we become it. A quality of being. On Tuesday morning there was no energy left for me other than the wane. Gigantic hush far bigger than me, but of me~a surrender in my soul. The moon was tilting towards her…

Our last full moon of the year, of the Fall, and Y E S! of this D E C A D E arrives…can you believe it? The sacred geometrics that underlie all of creation show up with a Mystery glimmer and twinkle from Time to Time, too…like our Mama the Moon peaking at Full overnight…
Dark to New Moon to Winter Solstice
Tomorrow is the new moon. The last one of Autumn. The moon cycle that starts tomorrow will move us on the wheel of the year from the north west corner to due north. That happens when the sun is the furthest from earth on the Winter Solstice, December 21, the shortest day and longest night…
To Rest & Poetry, on the Winter Solstice
In Oregon the Breitenbush river is a color of steel-teal that exists no other place on the earth and this must be partly because of the non-negotiable trees. It is easy to be grounded and feel at one in your place in a place like this. It is easy to revere the miracle of dirt:…
