I like to think all the dads in heaven get to come down today and spend it with their precious ones. But you must invite them. Say their names, play their favourite music and tell that joke that made everyone groan. They will come. The thing about love is, it doesn't die, you see. It places precious parts of souls in loved ones hearts and that, that lasts an eternity. Much longer than we can imagine. So, if you are finding today hard, look for them in the moments...I believe they're trying really hard to let you know, they're still here.

Happy Birthday Dad 🤍

01/02/2025

Today represents the first stirring of the light and the warmth of the coming spring.

A midway point between winter solstice and the spring equinox, when the days continually grow longer and barren trees stir with new life. Imbolc marks the last call for winter medicine, if you haven't rested enough, take these next few weeks to honour this cycle. Being one of the wise requires nothing more than taking natures messages to heart.

Dedicated to the Celtic goddess Brigit who reigns over hearth and home and is known as the keeper of the eternal flame, the fire within that burns even in the darkest of places, on the coldest of nights.

The celebrations of Imbolc often involved lighting candles or torches to honour Brigit and banish the lingering darkness of winter. These flames symbolised hope, illumination and the spark of life that begins to flicker in the earth.

Yesterday marked 2 years since my dad's passing...I still whisper a prayer for you every night before bed, praying that wherever you are, you are safe and happy ♥️

Calling in a new year in the dead of winter pushes against the seasons and cycles of the earth. The pressure and normalisation of goal setting, planning and taking action come January 1st, goes so deeply against our own physiology.
In the depths of winter, nature reflects to us her quiet, still, restful state of being. Nothing is growing, creating, or expanding. Nature turns her attention inwards. Conserves her energy for spring.
Our winter season is an invitation for deep rest after a spring, summer and autumn of planning, seeding, growing and harvesting.

Don't fight the urge to slow down.

Honour and mirror the earth...she holds the wisdom we've forgotten...she is our guide 💚

WINTER SOLSTICE: Return to the way 🤍❄️

Historically, the winter Solstice was always a time for homecoming. In cosmic terms, it is when the Earth begins to tilt back towards the Sun, gradually returning more light to our days. But like the celestial bodies, people from many cultures would also return to their heart's home for the holy days ahead.

In ancient China, they would close the passes at Solstice. No merchants could travel, not even royalty would visit other regions. Instead, they returned to “where they should be” both in the literal sense of going home, and figuratively to the spiritual well.

More than a physiological necessity, hibernation is when we recuperate emotionally and spiritually from the demands of the “outward” seasons. Like a wanderer who has strayed too far from their true path, we may need to reflect on how we got here, acknowledging both the distances we've come and also the losses and estrangements that resulted from our big moves. We may even need to face the veracity of our own motives.

While it may feel like a lack of progress, return is always developmental. When we have grown too distant from our true nature, we have to stop, retrace our steps, and reconnect with the essence of who we are. The ancient Confucion philosopher Zhou Dunyi described this kind of progress as a “slow return to original sincerity.” Like drawing down into the stem of one’s character, return pulls us into our origins.

If Solstice were a question, it might ask, “From what have I strayed too far?” In the haste of activity and progress, what essential values have I left behind? What did an earlier version of me know better than I? As we transition from the active, outward life to the inner world, we may discover a disconnect between our ambitions and the way our soul longs to sing. We can ask, “Does my intent line up with my actions, and capacity for those actions?”

It is a return to this sincerity that is being asked of us, and is what will put us back in right relation with all of nature.

'Tell Augustine that he should by no means destroy the temples of the gods but rather the idols within those temples. Let him, after he has purified them with holy water, place altars and relics of the saints in them. For, if those temples are well built, they should be converted from the worship of demons to the service of the true God. Thus, seeing that their places of worship are not destroyed, the people will banish error from their hearts and come to places familiar and dear to them in acknowledgement and worship of the true God. Further, since it has been their custom to slaughter oxen in sacrifice, they should receive some solemnity in exchange. Let them therefore, on the day on the dedication of their churches, or on the feast of the martyrs whose relics are preserved in them, build themselves huts around their one time temples and celebrate the occasion with religious feasting. They will sacrifice and eat the animals not anymore as an offering to the devil, but for the glory of God to whom, as the giver of all things, they will give thanks for having been satiated.'

•

The above is an excerpt sent to the first Bishop of Canterbury by Pope Gregory I who headed the Church from A.D. 590 to 604. He sent a missionary to England with the task of converting those with pagan beliefs. The letter advises that the Bishop allow the pagans to continue their worship and practices, but frame these practices in a Christian context.
The night of Samhain became All Hallows Evening, the night before the Saints were venerated. That name eventually morphed into Halloween. The Christianization of pagan traditions, or the outright slaughter of those who worshipped differently, is a long held strategy utilised by the church for millennia, to persecute and suppress those who did not conform to their religious view.

Today, reflect on the countless women whose magic was seen as 'sin'. 🙏

Samhain marks the time of year when we remember our dead. We remember that we are but one small link in a long chain of people extending back throughout time. We have a history, a lineage of people we are still connected to. Having that sense of history and connection gives us strength, it's why to this day, society still goes a long way in attempting to destroy and uproot our connection to our history, our culture, our land, our origin. Being disconnected from our roots makes us weaker, the weaker we are, the more easily we are taken advantage of.

Being conscious of the support and vastness of our bloodline gives us a powerful sense of being bigger than just ourselves. We really do stand on the shoulders of those who came before us.

Let us not forget their contribution to the world. Or the gift of life that they gave us. Make them proud.

The teaching of Libra ⚖️

In the shadow of this eclipse, make the space to ask yourself were are you off balance in your relationships and business partnerships...
Are you giving too much...receiving too little...not giving enough?
Do you need to step up more or step down?
What do you need to do to restore a sense of harmony in your personal / work life?

We descend into the West.
The place of hope and redemption. Intuition and reclamation.
The underworld.
Our guardian Jaguar is our eyes and ears in this uncharted territory, as we adjust to the darkness, feeling our way around the unknown.
Exploring our darkness.
Connecting to our intuition and all those feminine qualities that know destruction is just as sacred and important a function as creation. Dissecting ourselves piece by piece. Dismembering the past.
Harnessing a harshness to be brave enough to look at the parts of our personality or life we have turned away from and then a gentleness as we piece ourselves back together.

This time supports change and renewal. If we learn one lesson from nature it's that life requires constant change.

The interplay between life and death. Cut from the same cloth. If we stay stagnant and unchanging then we are not evolving.

Honour the life and death principle represented by these darker months.
Admit and allow the parts of yourself that need to die to do so.
Be hopeful that 'this too shall pass'.

'In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.' ~ Howard Thurman

The last full moon before the equinox. The end of a season. This Lunar Eclipse opens a portal to divine wisdom, healing and guidance from other realms.

In Pisces, the sign of seclusion and divinity, you are being asked to retreat inward, for it is there you will find guidance and direction. Pay extra attention to dreams, as dreamwork can be a powerful tool for individuation, the process of making the unconscious conscious, returning to a state of wholeness.

This Lunar Eclipse ushers in the beginning of Pitru Paksha - the fortnight of the ancestors - celebrated as a time to pay homage to loved ones who have transitioned from this physical life, forgiving and healing the past.

Opening a line of communication to the realm of ancestral spirits, seeking their counsel has never been easier. Set up an ancestral altar, maybe their picture/s their favourite drink/water, flowers, incense and any personal items that they cherished. Call on them, invite them to move closer and to intervene in certain situations, ask for their assistance in your healing. Our ancestors are extremely willing to assist us, they are some of if not our most powerful allies and protectors.

Pisces rules the feet - feet are symbolic of service and devotion - feet washing or annoiting rituals have long been seen as a rite of honour, devotion and humility.

Kneel at the feet of your ancestors. Ask and recieve their wisdom.

How can you be of service?

How can you help yourself?

Can you see the divine in the mundane?

What memory/experience have you yet to understand and process?

What from your past needs revisiting and healing?

Cultivate some peace and quiet. Meditate. Call on those who watch over you. Surrender.

“Woman is the creator of the universe, the Universe is her form; woman is the foundation of the world, she is the true form of the body. In woman is the form of all things, of all that lives and moves in the world.” (Shaktisangama Ta**ra)

In the past, Friday the 13th was marked as a day of the Goddess. A day to worship and celebrate the divine feminine and all she represents.

Friday is the day dedicated to Venus.
13 symbolises the life/death/life cycle which the divine feminine resonates to, there being 13 moon cycles each year, with the average woman experiencing 13 menstrual cycles per year.
As such, Friday 13th is an opportunity to connect with an old yet enduring wisdom.

I want to talk about one of the feminine mysteries that fascinates me the most...periods.
Periods are highly esoteric. When we lived in harmony with nature and her rhythms, all womens cycles were in sync with the cycles of the moon. Women were also synchronised with one another, all women bled at the same time. Ovulating when the moon was full and bleeding on the new moon.

In some cultures women would retreat to honour this period of time together, to receive insights, messages and visions to bring back to their people. As a menstruating woman was believed to be at her height of intuitive psychic power.

Many viewed yoni blood as medicinal, giving it as a drink to those who were ill almost like a healing tonic, as a salve for wounds and to nourish plants and crops that were declining. Offering it to the earth in honour of everything she does to sustain human life. Women would also bleed directly on the earth, strengthening their link to nature and to themselves as embodiments of nature.

It's time to remember the power in our blood.
The wisdom it teaches and holds.

Because returning to our blood is also a return to our bodies. Our life force. Our sensuality. Our creativity.

It's all there, in the crimson thread that ties you to all women, those who came before you and those who come after you.
