Solstice
With all the birthday celebrations out of the way and it us 1st December, let start with preparing for events the Winter Solstice, Christmas and Hanukkah
As a hedge witch, I love the solstice, the return of the Sun means I can start to plan the garden and all that I need for the year, I am moving away from growing my own veg in favor of growing more herbs, a garden for the senses.
The solstice this year starts @22:23hrs 21st December, I have always celebrated on the 22nd this is my preference and on the 22nd December 2018 there is a full moon double the magic, so the sun returns to be greeted by the moon, how beautiful is that!
I have many friends and family that celebrate the Christian faith and I love to be with them at this time and watch respectfully as they decorate trees, bring in garlands and light candles and eat a meal that is positive and meaningful.
Hanukkah is the same day as the Solstice and although I do not get to celebrate this with my friends I light a candle in honor of their day.
So the order of the day is Tree and lights, candles and incense, food and celebrate the beginning of the seasons upon us
The magic of flames
After feeling listless and tired I realized that my company was flames, flames from the stove, keeping me warm and company, then there is the flame of the tea lights lighting up the salt lamps defusing the air around me, purifying my space.
Lastly candles of colour this week has been white, Yellow, pink and purple, the white because I needed a pure space, yellow and purple to lift my spirits and to have a spiritual space to recover and lastly pink not to love another but to love and appreciate me, remind myself that I matter I am and always be worth fighting for.
Lastly, no flame but a smell of incense I love unicorn by star child it is subtle and beautiful reminds me of my younger days when I discovered it.
so my lovely witches take some time for you and just you, light yourself a candle, burn some incense. get in touch with you, the younger you, you now and you in the future… and for the lovely little witchlets out there, Take care around flames light them with care and enjoy them…
Heal and Recharge
we all need some time to heal and although I have had Rahanni and Reiki in recent weeks, I am still overly stressed and worried about not getting things done, being behind with things, just stressing about stressing!
well, today I am taking some advice that came my way, put it out there, into the cosmos, have faith and all will happen and turn out as it should stop fighting to go into your soul sit for a while and heal yourself.
So today was to go shopping, it can wait, and now I am watching Christmas movies, slushy but full of messages of positive outcomes, sometimes messages come the oddest of places….but in the world we live in, high tech, fast-paced, we should not be surprised to what comes our way and how it is delivered.
this evening my plans have changed, I am going to meditate later sit in my energy and visit the spirit world so I can connect with my gatekeeper and guides
when you can keep your stress levels down, it will help your anxiety and depression to do something for you no matter how small, how insignificant it may look to someone else, do it for you!

Anxiety and meditation
Meditating I don't always look to link with spirit, I leave it open with no expectation but after a string of incidents around someone, I love I decided to tap into anyone who could give me guidance on what to do and how to help. I got a clear answer and tears formed in my eyes, it was not the answer I was expecting but I am overjoyed about it.
so, on the full moon, I will be inviting my large rose quartz into the house, and light a pink candle for love protection and healing for an entire family of siblings that are struggling with lots of issues at the moment. this is the total opposite of what I thought I would be doing..
so tonight my lovely witches and spiritual beings, have a wonderful night, love, light and bright blessings )0(
french protesters
“Yellow vest” protesters have gathered in Paris and other cities for a fifth consecutive Saturday of demonstrations.
Protesters defied a government call to suspend the action following Tuesday’s attack on Strasbourg’s Christmas market where a gunman killed four people.
However, fewer people turned up - 66,000 altogether, officials said, compared to 125,000 last Saturday.
The movement, initially against a rise in fuel taxes, now addresses other issues, including education reforms.
Seven people have died in the “gilets jaunes” (yellow vest) protests so far, the latest in an accident resulting from a blockade by protesters on Friday.
How is this Saturday shaping up?
About 69,000 police have been mobilised across France to prevent a repeat of the violence of previous weeks.
In Paris, slightly more than 2,000 took to the streets on a cold and rainy day, compared to 10,000 last week.
Yule
there is a misconception that the tree decorating originated by Germans for the purpose of Christmas… Pagans have used decorating their homes for the solstice long before the Christians arrived, not only did they bring in branches of evergreen, holly, and ivy to decorate but they lit candles in honor of the sun returning and coming out of the deep dark days back into the light.
Other decorations would be a holly, ivy and mistletoe ball hung in the middle of the room berries and all.
Pagans celebrated with feasts and bonfires, fire in the hearth where a yule log would be put and the remains of that log would be retrieved and kept by the back door for luck and this would be used next years rule to start the Yule fire.
