This reminds us that while the calendar urges us to start fresh in January, the natural world is still in a phase of deep rest. Its significance lies in validating the instinct to slow down, turn inward, and honor winter’s quieter rhythm instead of forcing growth. It invites a gentler, more nature‑aligned understanding of beginnings, one that starts in the roots before it ever reaches the bloom.

Shamanic Journey Invitation:
“In the quiet of winter’s deep rest, what wisdom do the roots of my being want to show me about the beginnings that are forming unseen?”

This question invites you to journey into the hidden, gestating places within yourself to discover the subtle beginnings that are taking shape beneath the surface long before they bloom.

“The calendar may shout ‘begin,’ but the Earth whispers ‘rest.’ In winter’s stillness, we don’t rush to bloom, we tend the roots, dream the seeds, and trust the slow magic of becoming.

As I sit in this liminal space, as the Gregorian New Year approaches, I have been contemplating and tending the seeds sown this winter and wondering what they might grow in 2026.

Wishing you all much peace and joy for the year ahead and may you walk your path with purpose and authenticity 🌱💜🙏🏻✨

This blessing asks the ancestors and the living earth to cradle you during the final days of the year, easing burdens that have settled in your body and rekindling warmth where your spirit has felt chilled. It also invites subtle, soul-level blessings, carried by moonlight, animal messengers, and the deep stillness of winter to arrive gently and support your renewal.

“May the last week of the year
be held by the ancestors and the earth, soften what’s been heavy in your bones, warm what’s been cold in your spirit, and bring quiet blessings carried by moonlight, owl wings, and the stillness of winter roots.”

I spent a magical morning watching the sun rise from Castlerigg stone circle with some wonderful people. The 4am rise and 2 hour drive was absolutely worth it! Feeling grateful for our ancestors, the returning light and the birth of new beginnings 💜

Looking inward for the start of Yule and honouring our ancestral lineage with gratitude 🙏🏻💜

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.” ― Anaïs Nin

It’s been a creative day today! This afternoon, I finally got round to finishing off the rattle that I made at The Roost with Edwina Hodkinson - Medical Herbalist, Shamanic Practitioner and Celebrant a couple of weeks ago.

I have filled her with tiny crystal chips, some herbs, seeds and some palo santo. She will be used to assist healing and I think she sounds just right! 🪇💜✨
