As the wheel of the year turns and we find ourselves once more at the threshold of Yule, it is a time for reflection, celebration, and connection. Yule, the ancient festival marking the winter solstice, is a moment to honor the return of the light and to embrace the warmth of our communities and loved ones. In today's world, it's easy to be swept up in the commercial frenzy that often accompanies the holiday season. Stores and advertisements bombard us with messages urging us to buy more, spend more, and equate our worth with the monetary value of gifts exchanged. However, as pagans, we understand that the essence of Yule goes far deeper than material possessions. The Light Within and Around Us Yule is a celebration of the rebirth of the Sun. As the longest night of the year gives way to the increasing daylight, we are reminded of the light within each of us and the potential for renewal and growth. It is a time to rekindle our inner fire, to reflect on the past year, and to se...

I'd like to write about a few plants and their uses. I didn't want to give a general description or just throw around well-known medicinal properties. The application of wild edible and medicinal plants is not as straightforward as one might think. For example, if someone has a circulatory disorder or high blood pressure, it's not guaranteed that the first supposedly suitable medicinal herb we encounter will have an effect on it. It matters how a medicinal herb acts, when we take them, how we process it, how we prepare the medicinal product from them, when we consume them, and even how our own body reacts to them. I want to write about plants that affect me this spring, and share my tried and true methods and recipes. Dandelion - syrup and cordial It's a common plant often regarded as a weed. Most people would pull out every single one of them from the ground. Few know that it's an extremely valuable medicinal and wild edible plant, which is also an important nectar...

 Dear Friends, Brothers and Sisters, As the wheel of the year turns once more, we find ourselves at the threshold of Spring Equinox. This celestial event, also known as Ostara in the Pagan calendar, is a time of balance and renewal, a moment when day and night stand in perfect equilibrium. As we bid farewell to the long, introspective nights of winter, we welcome the burgeoning light of spring. The earth around us stirs from its slumber, echoing our own awakening. Trees begin to bud, flowers push their way through the thawing soil, and the animal kingdom emerges from hibernation, their songs filling the air. The Spring Equinox is a time to honor the divine balance in our lives and in the world around us. It's a time to cleanse and release the old to make way for new beginnings, mirroring nature's cycle of death and rebirth. As we stand at this seasonal crossroads, let's take a moment to reflect on our own paths. What do we need to let go of? What new seeds do we wish to pla...
