Winter Solstice
Falling,
The long night
comes to lay upon us.
Burning,
The Yule Log
carries us to the waxing day.
Rising,
The Sun God
touches our Mother’s turning body,
touches our hope filled hearts.

Candle Light
Posted in Rituals, Our Farm House on Dec 2nd, 2007
Another ritual we have on Saturday nights is to light the house by candle light and have a few drinks. It gives us time to discuss the weeks events, what is going on for the following week and just time to be quiet with ourselves or crank the tunes- which is what happened last night… It’s our thing […]
First Snow
Posted in Minnesota Weather on Dec 1st, 2007
The weather man was right this time…Well I don’t know if we will get the 6-10 inches that he said, but at least it looks like winter now. Can’t say I’m for all the Christmas B.S but winter non the lesss.
