what a beautiful remainder! thank you! it is super windy and it will be extra dark tonight where i live. i decided to go out in the fields after sunset, get naked and just feel all the elements on my body. accept what it is, be swept by the wind, cleansed by the rain and be comforted by the earth under my bare feet...

That sounds wonderful! I may do the same tonight, and just like for you, it’s so windy here, I love the feeling and sound of it ♥️

Winter solstice blessings to you Brigit, and all the beautiful souls that connect here. I'm so grateful for this space, where I feel free and open to follow my heart. I have been reminded again this morning of how easily my beliefs are shut within my family. I loved your post on traditions and feel that this time feels right to let go of so many and so much.

So much love to you becci, it can be a hard time of year when old traditions don’t match our integrity, but it’s so worth slowly embracing what does suit you and your wee one. Big hugs 🍄🐦‍⬛🦉♥️😊

So happy to see people are celebrating the Solstice here on Substack too. I wish I could post an image here in the comments but there does not seem to be a way to do so. I run a FB page dedicated to the Mayan Calendar and today, on Solstice, is 4 Caban in the Tzolk'in. I also want to honor the Southern Hemisphere, for them it is the Summer Solstice, and the longest day of the year ❤️

Love the artwork by Tijana, I'm guessing she is either Slovenian or Croatian?

And how lovely to find someone with a name similar to mine (... it's quite rare) Greetings to you Brigit!

Thank you for this beautiful share Brigit. This solstice was spent at the border of life and death for my husband and I. This was been a year of learning to sit in the dark, and, much to our surprise, the light has crept in anyway.
