In the old Celtic calendar, the year began on Nov 1. By that rhythm, winter is already giving way, and spring arrives on Feb 1 with Imbolc.
Even in the cold, new life is stirring. Not pressure, not a reset, just quiet promise.
Four more weeks, and the light begins to return.

The old Celtic year followed a seasonal structure organised around quarter days.
Imbolc, Bealtaine, Lughnasa, Samhain.
Each marked the start of a new season.
The day began at sunset.
Change began quietly, in the dark.

A tree alphabet.
Old wisdom for modern times.
This is not about looking backwards.
It is about learning how older ways of knowing can still help us think, reflect, and act today.

Today, Daniela and I went on a long walk to the Alter St. -Matthäus-Kirchhof in Berlin to visit the graves of the brothers Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. I hadn't a clue until recently that they were buried here! We left a candle and some nuts as the graveyard was bustling with squirrels.
