A picture paints a thousand words. This one whispers 'stretch slowly in sinew and muscle. You still belong to Winter Dreaming.'
Don't Rush to Rise, the light WILL come, the warmth WILL return.
Ceist Eolais | Wise Question: where in your life are you being asked to move before you are ready? 🌙

New Year’s Day arrives and still it is winter.
We are in the dream time, the quiet soil, the powerful pause before movement.
The time for planting is not quite here.
If you are moving slowly, you are in season.

Where do you look for wisdom? I work from my mála draíochta, the old storyteller’s magic bag.
The Chlann Scéalta have been using my Samhain workbook as a way to pause together as the year closes.
If you’d like to step into the circle as the year turns, you’re very welcome 🌿

We are still in the 'Seeding'' time - soon the light & heat will come, but for now we are in the deep nest of rest, that warm comfortable place in our comfortable bed when the world is cold outside & dreaming pulls us back for a few short cozy minutes. Don't rush from this sweet spot. 🌀

Samhain is a threshold,a place between stories, A time we should listen.
Within the Chlann Scéalta, we’ve been practising listening rather than rushing through this turning of the year.
If that speaks to you, the circle is open 🌙
