Happy Yule! Merry Solstice!



The winter solstice has arrived - soon the days will become longer and the nights shorter as the wheel turns once again to bring us out of the dark times and into the light at Alban Eilier.  This is a time of peacefulness, of introspection, of family and friends.  It is a time to evaluate the harvest of last year's seeds and start to think about what seeds we will plant this year to bring to fruition. 

My seeds include those for electricity and a water well, and the ultimate of course - hot showers!  But I also wish to plant seeds of hope and faith and tolerance too in these dark woods of ours.  So many thoughts swirling and whirling - for now is the time to begin the process, and to rest and rejuvenate from the hard work behind us.

May this winter solstice bring you much joy, laughter and insight into the next turn of the wheel.
