Happy solstice, y'all!
This day is known in many cultures as Mother Night. She carries the archetypes of the Witch, the Wise One, the Weaver and the Crone. And despite the darkness, stillness and quiet that accompany her, she is not empty but fertile.
Winter Solstice is not simply the longest night, but marks the return of the light and the dawning of a new era. This season reminds us that seeds you've been planting throughout the year are very much alive beneath the surface - beyond our sight and control, surviving even the harshest conditions and readying themselves to grow.
Can you trust in what is already becoming?
May this season be the sacred exhale you've been waiting for. And may what emerges from this point forward bring forth your wildest dreams. Here is a blessing from David Whyte to accompany your journey:
When your eyes are tired
the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone,
no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your home
tonight.
The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.
You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.
Join me TODAY, December 21st, for a special winter solstice ritual and practice as we honor all that is ending so that new futures may be born.
