I hope you get some time over the holidays to pet a few Orangeys and relax. It sounds like you could use some resting time, maybe with a cat snoozing on your chest.

I feel that too - like it's time to hunker down and hide someplace warm and dry and safe. I really hope this is just a primal reaction to the approaching solstice as opposed to more Tower Time excitement.

Yeah, feeling that exact way today. These cold dark days really take it out of me. Here's wishing us both a spurt of comfort, coziness and energy!

Some deities have something to teach you. Sometimes you have a shared interest EX: maybe you and Cernunnos both care about wild animal rehabilitation, or you have something the deity wants to use EX: maybe you work in the Judge Advocate's office + Sekhmet is really interested in seeing some justice

The Ohio History Connection hosts events on the astronomically important dates with a talk by an archaeologies and sometime by a member of one of the indigenous tribes whose ancestors built the sites. www.ohiohistory.org/events-exper...

Take a look at hopewellearthworks.org for a list of the mounds in Ohio. Serpent Mounds is the single most powerful energetic site I've ever been to - and in a very "this is not white North America" kinda way.

Want to see something amazing? You don’t have to go to Europe. A respectful visit to your local indigenous mounds will blow your pagan mind. And it was free! #pagansky #witchsky

I am left feeling elated and marveling and like I can feel every generation going back for millennia. A profound sense of time and connection and energy.

I sat there listening to the peepers and watch that glorious orange globe rise. Just me and maybe 50 other people. I swear I could feel the millions who have stood where I stood and watched what I watched.

Octagon Earthworks is all about the 18.5 year cycle of the moon. Tonight was the full moonrise at the end of the cycle this ancient monument is designed for. The moon rises through an earth gate.

So if you live in N Am and always wanted to see sunrise at Stonehenge on an equinox, the Hopewell created many earthworks in the US Midwest aligned to various astronomical phenomena.

She isn't gone yet, but the veil thins. And I mourn.

That which is remembered, lives. I will remember.
