Yuletide Blessings

Yuletide Blessings to all my wonderful friends,

 

This newsletter brings my heartfelt wishes for a truly meaningful holiday season and an abundant New Year.

 

In the Northern Hemisphere, December 21st is the time of the longest night.

The Winter Solstice is universally honored with lights the world over.

People have burned Yule logs and oil lamps, candles and bonfires. Currently

electric lights are strung around our homes. My mother told me as a child that

these traditions reassured us that days of longer sunlight would be returning.

 

Yet there is much to appreciate about darkness. Indigenous wisdom holds that darkness is simply the other side of light and there is great creative power in the dark void.

Samhain Newsletter

 

Samhain Greetings my friends,

The time period between Oct 31st and November 2nd is on the most widely celebrated ancient traditions that honors our ongoing connection with our ancestors. This includes those we knew in this lifetime, beloved great or great- great ancestors we’ve heard about, as well as ancestors from millennia ago. Samhain, meaning ‘summer’s end’ heralds the thinning of the veil between the seen and unseen worlds. Most of us have heard about or participated in the tradition of the Day of the Dead, celebrated in the US, Mexico, and South and Central America for a long time. It is a deeply significant celebration because folks can more easily connect to their loved ones who have passed. Samhain is about ancestors’ love and support of us rather than the fear-based portrayal of goblins and ghouls who are out to get us.

Fall Equinox Newsletter : Celebrate the Cycle of Life

 

The Fall Equinox is the second of the three major harvest festivals. The Celtic name for it is Mabon: the season of storing food and preserving nature’s bounty for the coming winter months. This year it will be on September 22nd at 8:44 am Pacific Time, just as the sun enters Libra, the sign of the balancing scales. The term Equinox refers to this balance of day and night. The cycle of life as evidenced by plants is: Spring (birth) Fall: seeds falling and going underground (death) only to grow again in spring: (rebirth). This cycle has been revered for at least 30,000 years; probably for as long as humans have gathered herbs and plants in familiar places during certain seasons.

2024 Lammas Newsletter

 

August 2nd is Lammas, the first of three festivals celebrating Mother Earth’s bounty. Baking loaves from the first grains and offering them at a communal meal has always been central to these gatherings, going back to thousands of years before the Common Era. 

 

The Celts called this time Lughnasadh (loo-na-sa), Native Americans called it the Green Corn Festival and in Slavic Regions it is called the feast of the Big Glad Woman. Ireland celebrates Lammas as Big Sunday and farming communities gather at hundreds of traditional hilltop sites to set up craft fairs, feast, play games, and dance. A part of every one of these gatherings is a ceremonial meal where the first fruits of the harvest are shared in gratitude to Mother Earth.

Summer Solstice Newsletter

 

Merry Midsummer my Friends,

 

On June 20th when the Sun moves into Cancer, we celebrate the Summer Solstice in the Northern Latitudes. Also known as Midsummer, this Solstice (meaning ‘Sun stands still’) is when the Sun is at its peak; it is the longest day of the year and celebrated in some way in all cultures. The next day, on June 21st we have an auspicious full moon in Capricorn, making this particular Solstice more powerful. Summer Solstice celebrations have been a time for merry making for millennia. Not only is it one of the eight great spokes on the Celtic wheel of seasons but also Midsummer’s Eve is one of the three important spirit nights of the year; the other two are Beltane (May Day) and Samhain (Halloween).

Beltane Newsletter

 

Celebrate Life Force Energy on May Day,

 

May Day is the time when nature has truly come alive. Our ancestors joyfully embraced the fertility of Mother Earth; flowers bloom, offering their pollen to the bees. The Celtic name for this period is Beltane, which means bright or sacred fire. During the festival, great bonfires were lit and animals and fields were blessed in hopes for an abundant year. Traditionally May Day began on the eve of May 1st and was celebrated with feasting, dancing, and merriment for two weeks. Lovers knew that sexual energy is a most powerful connection to Spirit as well as it plays an essential role in the abundance of all life. 

 

Beltane was a time when lovers ran off to the fields and woods together to honor the Great Goddess with ecstatic lovemaking.

Mercury Retrograde Newsletter

 

FYI, Mercury turned Retrograde April 1! The New Moon in Aries with a Solar Eclipse is near, April 8th, 2024                                                                                           

SMILE, AS WE PLOD THROUGH IT & STAY THE COURSE–

HEY NOW, Al Manning would say, ILLIGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM, which was his pet phony Latin Phrase for “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.” Al’s humor makes me smile! This has become one of my favorite phrases, as I like to encourage myself to keep going. We must persevere, in spite of whatever comes our way. Though it ain’t easy, we still have to do our best to transcend all the __________, if our intent is to survive on our way to thriving. So let us be bathed in the LIGHT & GRACE of SPIRIT which will uplift us above the obstacles.

2024 Spring Equinox Newsletter

 

Celebrate the Green Fire my friends,

 

This year in the Northern Hemisphere, March 19th is the Spring Equinox. It is the time when day and night will be equal in length at the equator as the sun moves into Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac.  Also known as Ostara or Eostre (the origin of the name Easter) light and dark will be balanced. It is the New Year for Persians as well as the Earth Honoring spiritual traditions that follow the ancient ways.

 

In these ancient traditions the Vernal Equinox is considered the time of Green Fire. It refers not only to sap rising, but also to all the electrical energy pulsing through the growing plants.

Breathing for Health and Spiritual Growth

balance blur close up

Breathing is one of the most important of all of the functions of the body because so many other systems depend upon it. The survival rule of 3 says a person can survive 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water, but only 3 minutes without air. Humans are the only species on Earth that can control their breath. Multiple studies have shown that breathing correctly can improve your health, prevent diseases, prolong your life, and other benefits.

Children and those of indigenous groups (unless they have developed the bad habits of modern society) tend to breathe correctly. Most contemporary adults have shallow, rapid breathing habits which inhibit their health and well-being.

Breathing is the most important influencer of HRV (Heart Rate Variability) which is one of the best indicators of overall health.
