We will celebrate the Light's Return with honoring the ancestors, burning the Yule Log, music and feasting!

All are welcome to join in on the longest night of the year.

Winter's Knight

Dancing and Leaping without a fear!

Crackling and roaring so all can hear.

Bringing the Light removes all fright,

adding warmth to the longest night.

A Dance of Magic, A power Divine,

On Solstice Night I make it mine.

We dance and roar on this longest of nights

And play with the laughing fire sprites.

The warmth of love and friends held dear,

Are reflected in the Fire Knight's good Cheer.

Traditionally Solstice gifts were what you wanted the other person to increase in with the increasing light ... it makes gift giving so yummy :) So many fun and happy thought of what we'd like our loved ones to increase in!

May this Solstice Bless you!

Be Blessed & Blessed Be,

We brought our goats Velvet and her daughter Breezy to the breeder yesterday! May they be blessed with life! We are so grateful to our wonderful Breeder Bev, our 'Goat Guru'!

May life be blessing you with clear breath and wind under your wings.

May life be energizing you with joy and vibrancy,

May the waters of love flow through you,

And may the earth ground you and bless you with true wealth.

with harm to none and goodwill to all.

Be Blessed & Blessed Be,
