Advent of the Sun Altar: Third Week, Third Candle

[Background info about this series of posts found here]

Each night brings growing darkness as the days become shorter. May we use this time to look inside, be introspective, and listen to our souls --

Darkness deserves gratitude.

It is the alleluia point at which

we learn to understand that

all growth does not take place in the sunlight.

--Joan Chittister, Uncommon Gratitude

Have You Been NAUGHTY?

I didn't know that Krampus has a CAT!

Makes sense, though. 

December Full Moon Post: Sacred Spiral of Life Redux

Since my Advent of the Sun Altar to celebrate the coming Winter Solstice is physically occupying my altar space this month, I'm doing a photo post to honour December's Full Moon. Consider it Part 2 of a similar post I did a couple of years ago!

The Sacred Spiral of Life is a powerful symbol found in many spiritual traditions, including that of the Divine Feminine. The path to the centre of existence and to the centre of ourselves resonates deeply in the human psyche and we reproduce it in many settings.

The Sacred Spiral forms the basis for the unicursal (single) path of another favourite spiritual symbol and practice of mine -- the labyrinth.

Once you start consciously looking for this symbol in nature, art, and architecture, you will see it everywhere! It expresses beauty, serenity, and meaning wherever it is found.

Get Ready For The Season!

Advent of the Sun Altar: Second Week, Second Candle

[Background info about this series of posts found here]

A meditation on the interplay of Darkness and Light in this time of waiting before the Winter Solstice:

We honour the growing Darkness.

We do not fear, avoid or fight it.

Without the dark, there are no dreams,

no healing sleep to refresh us,

no deep growth necessary for life.

We arise with the returning Light.

No matter how deep the descent,

the Light does return.

--paraphrased from Joanna Powell Colbert
