Continuing the theme from yesterday, sharing is going to happen here tonight. Because, some sharing happened to me earlier. Which is always awesome!
Here’s a gloriously winter-y phone photo from Anna. She said in her last comment that it was dumping snow in her home state. Yep, that’s a buncha snow alright!
Over here,
we have rain, so I’m very much enjoying LOOKING at this view.
Thanks for sharing! Now for a listening treat. Go HERE to see a pictures of my girls and hear their voices, from our very own kitchen table. Most of what they said is accurate. Most, not all.
Are you back? Okay, now I’m going to send everyone off again, to Hanna’s most recent blog post. Beware though, there’s animal-feeding/eating photography. (And by “animal” you know I mean the reptile version. Don’t worry though, completely not gory or graphic.)
Sadly, what there is NOT, are very many shots of our Solstice on Christmas. I think this year we just enjoyed each other’s company and our celebrations. Kinda forgetting to break out the camera.
Preparations.
Here’s the tree though, complete with Dan’s new spool of overly-bright lights. (Also, you can almost see my new curtains behind it.)
Traditional Pagan Yuletide Evergreen,
all decorated, with gifts.
The daily draw is flown in for us by a being that’s near and dear to our hearts here in The Burrow, thanks to Empress and her love of all living things. (Who doesn’t adore the story of Stella Luna?!)
“Creatures Of The Air:
Eagle, Raven, Owl, Humming Bird, Parrot, Peacock, Butterfly Bat, Spider, and Bee
By different means all of these creatures escape the confines of earth. They soar above material cares and worries and counsel that it is time to let go of our cares, to leave the past firmly behind you where it belongs, and to look for a new future where anything is possible. Spider uniquely makes her gossamer home in the air, connected to earth by silken ties almost too fine to perceive She counsels that as you go forward in life you should remain attached to your past, but not be dominated by it.”
“Bat ~
You have the power to transcend failure and move into a limitless future.
Bat once crawled upon the earth, but she reached for the stars and now she really can fly.
If you have pulled Bat to guide you, you too can become anything you want. But remember, everything has its own period of gestation and as you progress to your own limitless future you must transcend failure and its attendant fear, that of striving again.
With failure comes the knowledge that brings you ever nearer your heart’s goal until on the destined day you are reborn.”
Today’s Deck:
Animal Messages – Seek Inspiration From Your Animal Guides by Susie Green
Yesterday’s Mileage:
Only 5.815, which really feels as if it should be more. (I rode to the pool for class then Heather’s house for her reading. Clearly all of the important places in my life are conveniently located!) Time traveled was 38 minutes and 46 seconds, with my average speed just 9MPH.
Today’s Mileage:
8.716, even though I only went one place. It took me 52 minutes and 13 seconds to pedal there and back, but my average speed picked up to 10MPH.
Tonight’s Lunar Event:
technically tomorrow is the Full Moon (which is also called a “Cold Moon” -look at THIS really well-done article I found on it) but I received two inquiries about it tonight. It looks so full, and yet the DATE says it’s not truly full for another day. Well not quite, it’s really just a few short hours past midnight, or near there, depending on which coast you reside on. Whenever you see Her, soak up those moonbeams and enjoy!
LateNight One Last Thing:
go HERE and watch this, it’s only 7 minutes long, you can afford the time. He is talking about SO much of what WE have seen come up in our cards.
