Winter Solstice

So here we are with the last few days before the wheels turns anew.

Standing in the circle
Beneath the web of light
Dancing in the moonlight
On a cold New Years Night
And it seemed that we were lifted
Flown across the years
Power-circled shifted, by power-circle seers

And the Goddess abd John Barleycorn
Will put flesh upon the bones
Fly ribbons round the barrows
Plant food prints round the stones
The Goddess and John Barleycorn
Will keep the spirit strong
For those who remember
For those that sing the song

So stand in the circle, weave the web of light
Dance in the moonlight
Bring fire to the night
Release the past that made us
Release the fire within
Revel in the mystery
And embrace your
Sacred kin

We have been to search for our yule log and a beauty called to us. It lay beneath a beautiful tree so we asked if we could have it. The girls and I took it in turn to ask the question and Iz sealed it with a kiss!

We decorated our log with hopes and resolutions for the new year and also with things we would like to let go of. We'll burn the log tomorrow after a special meal. I know this time of the year is a time to be social but for us it really is a time to hunker down together and just enjoy each others company and to be still and plan for the year ahead. This is a time of year that I truly feel in my bones. I feel the last turns of the great wheel and the prickle of excitement at the beginning of this new year is tangible.

I will be filling in the 2011 tab soon with all my wishes and hopes for this year - there are many!





We've also been tree decorating for for the 21st.



How unimpressed Indy looks with her tinsel collar!!
