Saturday (Saturn’s Day)

Aroma: Cypress, Myrrh, Patchouli, Saturn Oil, Black Poppy seeds

Magical aspects: longevity, exorcism, endings, apprehension, austerity, caution, and limitations.

Not surprisingly, Saturday is ruled by Saturn. The logic and almost sly nature of Saturn is most prominent on Saturday, which is why it is the perfect day for habit breaking and scientific experimentation.

This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving spirit, communication, meditation, psychic attack or defence, locating lost items or missing persons, self-discipline, life, building, doctrine, protection, freedom, elderly, destroying diseases and pests, crystallization, hidden or obscure matters, limitations, and boundaries

The Chariot – Major Arcana

Chariot Tarot Card Meanings

The seventh card of the Major Arcana, The Chariot, is related to being goal oriented, having confidence, and overcoming obstacles in your life.

Traditionally this card depicts a man riding a chariot that’s pulled by two animals of opposite colors without reins to guide them.

This image is symbolic of the confidence it shows within the person being read.

The two animals and their opposite colors say that regardless of what pulls you, be it positive or negative events, the situation has an attractive outcome.

The Upright Chariot Meaning

When The Chariot appears in a past position, it is showing you that you have gone through a major life event that is acting as a catalyst for your current and future positions.

Perhaps it is a reminder of what you’ve overcome and it’s showing you that you are still capable of being that untouchable person.

In a present position The Chariot is strongly suggesting that you keep a cool head and stay on the path towards your ultimate goal.

It is saying “you can do this!”, so long as you do not falter.

The Chariot upright in a future position is the person being read coming out of the situation on top and as a better person for it.

They have overcome whatever obstacles sit in the past and present positions despite what signs or omens they’ve presented.

The Chariot in Reversed Position

Appearing in the reverse, The Chariot is acknowledging the feeling of a lack of control over your life.

It is suggesting that you take a moment to figure out what it is that is causing these feelings and to give yourself time to fix the situation.

Of course, this is much easier said than done, but it’s important to remember that The Chariot speaks to your strength.

Even in a reversed position, you are still tough enough to get back on track even if things seem hopeless.

If you feel as though life is moving on and leaving you behind, The Chariot is very likely to pop up reversed in your reading.

The lesson it teaches in this situation is a harsh one, as it’s a reminder that change will happen whether you want to go along with it or not.

Also, during the New Moon phase, the moon rises and sets at around the same time as the Sun. This brings to the moon too close to the glare of the Sun for us to see the moon with the naked eye.

Being a Sagittarius born on December 19th

 Astrological symbol: Archer. The sign of the Archer is influential for those born November 22 – December 21, when the Sun is considered to be in Sagittarius. It is representative for openness, ambition, creativity and positive outlook on life matters.

 The Sagittarius Constellation visible between +55° to -90° is one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac. Its brightest star is Teapot while it covers an area of 867 sq degrees. It is placed between Scorpius to the West and Capricornus to the East.

 The name Sagittarius is the Latin name for Archer. In Greece, Toxotis is the name of the sign for December 19 zodiac sign, while in Spain is Sagitario and in France Sagittaire.

 Opposite sign: Gemini. In astrology, these are the signs placed opposite on the zodiac circle or wheel and in the case of Sagittarius reflect upon amicability and consciousness.

 Modality: Mobile. This quality reveals the graceful nature of those born on December 19 and their philosophy and boldness regarding most life aspects.

 Ruling house: The ninth house. This house governs long journeys and human transformation through travel and education. This is all about taking life as a perpetual adventure which broadens our knowledge and spirituality.

 Ruling body: Jupiter. This planet is said to govern over understanding and a chatty figure and also reflects the philosophy inheritance. The name of Jupiter comes from the leader of the gods in Roman mythology.

 Element: Fire. This is an element said to rule over signs born under the December 19 zodiac who are ingenuous and enthusiastic individuals. Fire heats air, makes water boil or models earth and reacts in similar ways when two people of different elements meet.

 Lucky day: Thursday. As many consider Thursdays as the most light day of the week, it identifies with the broad minded nature of Sagittarius and the fact this day is ruled by Jupiter only strengthens this connection.

 Lucky numbers: 8, 9, 13, 17, 20.

 Motto: “I seek!”

They prefer to instill trust in the circle of people around them and they prove to be warm hearted and extremely affectionate with those who ear their respect. They can be quite entertaining when spending a lot of time with them.

 Negative Traits: Sagittarius needs to learn to accept that even the best people do get some things wrong and let others down, it’s just, if and how they try to repair their mistakes, that matters. Those born on this day lack pragmatism and are quite vain. They are set to transformation the world but in the same time they don’t even once consider they may lose some battles on the way there. Their resistance towards accepting failure is a recipe for disaster. They are sometimes contradictory and restless.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on December 19 are romantic and passionate. As Sagittarius natives they aim high in all matters of life, therefore they are also very pretentious when it comes to love. For this ambitious native, love and commitment is placed somewhere second place and the one standing beside them should be prepared to understand and support them unconditionally. You can conquer the heart of Sagittarius if you check a lot of the items on their list of attributes their significant other should have.

 They believe in love at first sight and don’t need much time to get attached to someone. They are persons of extremes in love and sometimes this attitude will have them prone to disappointment. A passionate lover prone to jealousy fits when madly in love. They offer everything they have to their loved one and ask for the same. They are likely to fall in love at a young age as they are attractive and positive persona. Regarding their family life, they will marry when they are completely ready and they will probably be cool parents if they choose to have a one big family. They are most compatible with those born on 4th, 6th, 8th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 22nd, 24th, 26th, and 31st.

 December 19 Zodiac people are very attracted to the other fire signs: Aries and Leo as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Sagittarius is constantly seeking for a relaxed and entertaining partner and the most suitable to offer them this is the native from Gemini. Sagittarius is thought to be least compatible with Scorpio. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Sagittarius, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

DECEMBER 19 birthday horoscope predicts that you are someone who is talented. As a Sagittarius who is strong but not so bold you are committed to making your life worth being envied.

Along with hard work, some inherent capabilities too are required.

Yes indeed, you love an audience. The future of person who born on 19 December can be extremely fashionable.

Moreover, you know how to work the crowd with your shenanigans. But don’t let this playful attitude fool you. Those born on this Sagittarius birthday December 19,  are knowledgeable people. You can hold a conversation with anyone. Reinventing yourself does have its advantages. Are you surprised that people want to be like you? You shouldn’t be. You’re awesome!

Your friends and family agree that having you in their lives has certainly made a difference in theirs. Traveling has made an impact on them. They see things as you do, as usually, you take a companion on your road trips. You enjoy being the tour guide. You already know the hot spots and the best out-of-the-way places to visit. This is certainly an occupation that would have great rewards. This zodiac birthday person is a lot of fun.

If today is your birthday, making friends seems to come easy for you. You never meet a stranger. Often, you have friendships that last a long time. It may not be someone who lives nearby that you are closest with as you have friends are all over the world. For the most part, your friends are extras. Yeah, you can be flamboyant. You like to juggle a few relationships at a time, too.

When you find a partner who allows you to be you, then chances are you have found your soul mate, or so you believe. It may be so as you place value on fidelity, but you need stimulation as well. So, if you are looking to hook up permanently with a December 19 birthday person, you may need to surprise your Sagittarian every once in a while with something special.

Taking your vitamins and herbal supplements can be effective on most minor illness, forecasts the December 19th horoscope. It is always advised to seek medical attention however with persistent ailments or major illnesses. I don’t have to tell you this as you take good care of yourself. If you can’t have sex, then a full body massage would suit you just fine on occasion to relieve stress or tension.

This can be a good exercise for both this December 19th birthday personality and his or her partner. I mean sex, of course. Data has shown that it relieves stress and couples generally live longer because they are more sexually active than most single people especially after 50. As a downfall, you love the foods your body has a low tolerance for. Stay away from those things, and you could walk away with a straight “A” health report card.

We talked about your defining qualities earlier regarding how you had a way with people and suggested that being a tour guide would make you a suitable career. This is certainly true as with promotions, advertising or sales. Aside from being the talker, you like competition. You do your research, so you’re knowledgeable about what you speak. The December 19 astrology predicts that you could be an educator as well. You’re captivating, Sagittarius.

The December 19th birthday meanings suggest that one of your hopes is to make a change, large or small, in the community in which you love. You can accomplish this in many ways but giving back as a teacher is certainly a great start. However, you may live an active lifestyle, but you take care of yourself.

Traveling has made a difference in how you see things and your loved ones as well. Your friends and family appreciate you and think the world of you. Being the Sagittarius that you are, you like your freedom over everything. When you find the right one for you, it will not be because of sacrifice but of acceptance and change.

DECEMBER 18 birthday horoscope predicts that you are bold! You are the archetype of what fearless is. You’re the kind of person who will climb the highest mountain or at least try it. This clever Sagittarius is also the friendliest and kindest person anyone would want to have in his or her corner. You don’t get scared so easily.

You don’t mind these kinds of compliments as you love being the “talk.” Wherever you go, the center of attention is you. Social settings don’t seem to be the same without your presence. Even as a young person you were this way. It must be a natural December 18 birthday personality trait.

On the other hand, as the December 18th zodiac sign is Sagittarius, you are kind of unrealistic people, tenacious and full of pride. But as you grow older and mature, you are likely to become fixed in your lifestyle. Some missed the opportunity to find out how sensitive you are. You do a good job in hiding your feelings. You’re pretty strong, and you’d make a great player or someone in charge of a large corporation. The future of person who born on 18 December can be greatly exciting.

The December 18 horoscope predicts that you are a proud individual when it comes to career and financial decisions. You handle situations with a great deal of care where your employees are concerned, and you get respect in return. When dealing with partnerships, if both parties are happy, the team is more secure, or so you feel. You even feel this way on a personal and intimate level. People born on this Sagittarius birthday love to laugh and hate being alone.

A challenge is right up your alley as it stirs up your get-up-and-go attitude. Telling you not to do something is like telling you to do it. You get all excited like a ball of fire. Your determination is to be admired, Sagittarius. However, the December 18th horoscope shows that your downfall could be that you are weak and impatient. You will buy or do things on a whim and suffer the consequences later. If you’d wait sometimes, you’d save yourself some trouble.

While in a relationship, this Sagittarius birthday person will generally be the romantic type. He or she will shower you with little gifts that come straight for the heart. You won’t even know Cupid’s knocking at your door when you let him in. As good as you are though; you can’t seem to find someone who is truly compatible. Aww, don’t give up! The December 18 birthday astrology predicts that you will certainly find that special person who will love you unconditionally.

You seem to need love more than any other Sagittarian born under this zodiac sign. It would seem that you could become overprotective of those you love or perhaps a little obsessive. You love hard when you do. Your partner couldn’t find anyone who is more dedicated and loving than you. It’s not hard for you to open up to your partner but you are more dependent on a relationship.

If you are looking for love in someone who was born today, then make sure you are travel ready. The December 18 birthday personality love to travel almost as much as having sex. So bring your sexiest attire for those evenings in and out.

Attention to detail is what got you into some of your jobs but being useful and levelheaded is why they kept you. However, you need a lot of stimulation to be at your best. Keeping your mind occupied is one thing, but you must be active too. You prefer not to sit at a desk all day. At home, however, you like peace and tranquility. Although the December 18 zodiac birthday person is not greedy, they will usually have a nice place.

The December 18 astrology suggests that you are a positive thinker. You’re unsophisticated in your enthusiasm about life and health. Stay away from nay-sayers as they can contaminate your environment. You need not stress over things that are petty and people who are perhaps envious. Otherwise, you are a healthy Sagittarius if you stay on top of your diet, schedule and exercise regime, but don’t overdo it. Don’t feel guilty about relaxing. You deserve it.

Make magick for Midsummer with the abundant plants that are all around you. I’ve got 13 Herbs for Litha to help you honor the summer solstice.

The earth is at it’s most abundant at Litha, the longest day of the year. It’s been absorbing the sun’s rays as the days slowly grow longer, and this sabbat marks the peak of the sun’s power. Because of this, it’s one of the most powerful days of the year to collect herbs for your witchcraft practice.

Some say that Midsummer herbs should be collected skyclad (aka naked) and they should only be cut with a consecrated silver knife. Some say metal should never touch the plants. There are all sorts of myths and legends, but your witchcraft practice is your own, so do what’s right for you.

Herbs for Litha

Really, any herb that’s growing in summer is a Litha herb, but some are more traditionally tied to this sabbat than others. Don’t limit yourself, but if you’re not sure where to start, this should give you a good idea. There were nearly 30 herbs I found in just one book which correspond to Midsummer, but I’ve narrowed it down to some of the more common or easy to find herbs to make things easier for you.

Remember that if you’re foraging for herbs and botanicals to only take what you need, and never take more than 10% of a plant. You might also want to consider leaving an offering for the plant or connecting with its energy to thank it for its contribution to your thriving.

Chamomile – With powers of regeneration, protection, and peace, this herb also attracts money and luck, so you definitely want it in your apothecary. Use it in tea or other infusions.

Daisy – Tied to innocence and purity, this flower can be used in spells for true love.

Dill – Can be used for protection and cleansing, as well as clearing the mind.

Elder – Gather leaves on Midsummer morning and use the flowers to make cordials or liqueurs.

Fennel – A plant for courage, purification, and protection.

Heather – Can be used for protection and to draw in luck and money. Also helpful in working with fairies.

Honeysuckle – Use for divination, dreams, and love spells.

Lavender – The classic herb for peace and harmony, it can also be used for purification and cleansing and to enhance meditation.

Lime – Add to spells for healing, love, and protection.

St. John’s Wort – Use this herb for protection, especially to repel negativity. Also effecting in clearing and purification spells.

Strawberry – Tied to blessings, love, and fertility, there’s nothing sweeter than a freshly picked ripe summer strawberry.

Sunflower – The ultimate symbol of the sun, this flower also brings happiness, blessings, fertility, and courage.

Violet – Use in spells for love, fertility, faithfulness, and luck.

Berries of the Mistletoe is very poisonous to humans and animals

Source: witchdom.com

As we lead up to Yule, I thought I’d extol the virtues of magical mistletoe. Some plants really have that feeling of magic, and mistletoe, for me, is one of them. When I moved into my current home, I was delighted to find a large ball of mistletoe in an old apple tree in the back garden. Mistletoe grows prolifically in the county where I live and the nearby counties. These are Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, and Somerset and these counties supply the rest of the UK. One town close to where I live has a mistletoe festival every December. Many trees have several balls of mistletoe attached to them and, in the winter, they become more obvious in the bare branches.

Mistletoe grows in a variety of trees. A hemi (partial) parasitic plant, it attaches itself to a host tree. It can often be seen in apple, hawthorn, sycamore, ash, poplar, and lime trees. Orchards are a more obvious place to find it. It is a poisonous plant, and the UK varieties are more so than the US varieties. The effects of the poison can be seen more in children and animals than adults.

Historical References

In his Complete Herbal, Culpeper says of mistletoe (“misselto”) that it is under the dominion of the Sun, but even though it “rarely” grows on oak, when it does it takes on the nature of Jupiter. From these two planets, I would say together they promote positivity, success, and good fortune, strength, wisdom, provide protection, represent the self, and have life-giving properties. You should also decide what they signify to you. Therefore, if you find it on oak then you can double the magical qualities.

Culpeper also says he does not know why mistletoe takes on that nature of the oak (strength), above the other trees it grows on. However, he adds that mistletoe which grows on pear trees and…

The Fool – Major Arcana

The Fool Upright Meaning

Pamela Coleman-Smith’s artful rendition of The Fool in the Rider-Waite Tarot deck is often used to represent Tarot in general. Early classical versions of The Fool card, however, portray quite a different character — a person driven by base needs and urges, who has fallen into a state of poverty and deprivation.

In some earlier instances, The Fool is made out to be a carnival entertainer or a huckster. In others, he is portrayed as decrepit and vulnerable — as the cumulative result of his delusions and failures. Not until the 20th century do you see the popular Rider-Waite image of The Fool arise — that of an innocent soul before its fall into matter, untainted by contact with society and all its ills.

Modern decks usually borrow from the Rider-Waite imagery. Most Fool cards copy the bucolic mountainside scene, the butterfly, and the potential misplaced step that will send The Fool tumbling into the unknown. Don’t forget, though, that the earlier versions of this card represented already-fallen humanity, over-identified with the material plane of existence, and beginning a pilgrimage toward self-knowledge and, eventually, wisdom. The Fool reminds us to recognize the path of personal development within ourselves — and the stage upon that path where we find ourselves — in order to energize our movement toward deeper self-realization.

The Fool Reversed Meaning

When the Fool card is reversed, you are encountering an unfinished side of yourself, a part still caught in the shadows of ignorance or immaturity. An emotional reflex or psychological attitude could be holding you back from responding authentically and naturally.

Release yourself from any dogmas or taboos so your natural truthfulness and instinct for right action can be restored.

Thurisaz Giant

Thurisaz has a few different translations. In the Old Norse, it translates to “giant.” But, in the Old English, it translates to mean “thorn.” In divination, it’s indicative of an intense change or, sometimes, danger. It represents a powerful, disruptive force that shakes things up, similar to the lightning that Thor controls with the Mjolnir.

Hexagram Twenty/20

Wind over Earth

The meaning of hexagram number 20 is meditation and contemplation, but the visual significance is that of a tower with a broad view which enables one to meditate on the wider landscape rather than immediate events. An additional meaning of this tower is that the tower itself can be seen for many miles, suggesting “an example” being set for others. This is a time to reflect carefully on what has gone before, and what is happening now in a broader sense. Decisions made at this time will be witnessed by many.

Numerology

Source: numerology.com

Seven

The number 7 is both deep and wise. It is not satisfied with simple explanations and surface-level information — this is frivolous stuff. It knows that the real gold is buried deeper and won’t stop until it finds it … and then it’ll keep digging for more. Asking questions, researching, listening, and sensing are all special skills the 7 uses in its search for awareness.

Though spirituality is especially important to the number 7 in Numerology, it takes a more intellectual approach to life than an emotional one. It is an analytical number that enjoys gathering and filtering through information to find answers. Still, it has a more powerful intuition than you might expect which it uses as a guide. This combination of conscious and subconscious thinking allows the mind of the Numerology number 7 to shine a light into the very deepest realms to access hidden truths.

Strengths of the number 7

Spiritual: The 7’s understanding that there is always something deeper, something more we can’t see, instills in it a great sense of spirituality. While religion is too limiting for this boundless number, a very personal, intellectual connection to the spiritual world gives its experiences more mystery and meaning.

Curious: With infinite questions waiting to be answered, the world is an incredibly engaging place for the number 7. It finds interest in many topics and seeks to absorb as much knowledge and understanding as it can. Whether it’s practical or metaphysical doesn’t matter, the number 7 always wants to know more.

Analytical: The number 7 isn’t just an information sponge. While it is driven to take in all the data it can, its real strength lies in sorting through what it finds. Being able to separate what’s useful from what’s meaningless and identify fact from fiction helps the 7 stay on track and follow the most valuable wisdom.

Weaknesses of the number 7

Reclusive: The 7 spends most of its time deep in thought and study and doesn’t place much importance on the lighter side of life. Over time a lack of social involvement turns the 7 even further inward, limiting its life experiences and making it unable to forge new friendships and romantic connections.

Secretive: This number is more comfortable holding its cards close to its chest. It’s not that the 7 is trying to hide damaging secrets, it just doesn’t feel the need for everyone to know everything about it. The problem is, it’s impossible to connect with others in genuine way if you won’t ever let them see to the real you.

Suspicious: Because of its insatiable need to look below the surface, the number 7 may upset a good thing by making assumptions and accusations or digging for answers when there are none. It is always assuming there is more to the story, even when there really isn’t.

The Moon phase for December 18th, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Need some quick and affordable decorating ideas for Litha, the summer solstice? Here are some tips on how to bring the season into your home without breaking your bank account!

Suns and Solar Symbols

The Litha sabbat falls on the longest day of the year – that means you have more hours of daylight on the summer solstice than on any other day, and that’s definitely worth celebrating! Solar symbols like suns and circles, gods eyes, Brighid’s crosses and sunwheels are all perfect representatives of this season – hang them on your walls and doors, or add them to your Litha altar. More »

Fresh Blossoms and Blooms

By the time midsummer rolls around, our flower gardens are in full bloom. This is a time to gather up those blossoms and enjoy their beauty – collect an assortment of brightly colored flowers and bring them indoors to keep you company. Consider, especially, flowers in bright sunny colors like yellows and reds and oranges. Sunflowers, tulips, roses, tiger lilies, and black-eyed Susans are all associated with the sun at the height of its power.

The Bounty of the Garden

In addition to fresh flowers, we’ve also got fresh produce rapidly filling our gardens. The sun brings warmth to the earth, which in turn brings new life to our plants. Harvest your midsummer fruits and vegetables, and leave them in bowls and baskets around the house. Some goodies, like onions and herbs, can be hung up to dry, which will allow you to enjoy the scents as well as the flavor.

Fire and Light

Carrying on the solar theme, Litha is a celebration of fire – after all, that’s what the sun is, right? Use big candles all around your home, in yellows and golds and other sunny colors. You can also string festively colored lights along your walls and windows, to bring that brightness indoors. For your outdoor decor, use a tabletop brazier or even Tiki torches to celebrate with flames and fire. More »

Opposites

At Litha, the summer solstice, it’s the last day of the sun’s full power. For the next six months, darkness will begin to take over, growing stronger until Yule, the longest night of the year. At that point, the process will reverse once more and the light return. Decorate your home with symbols of opposites – fire and water, earth and air, darkness and light, yin and yang.

 

Litha Legends and Lore – Myths and Mysteries of the Midsummer Solstice

Litha Legends and Lore

Myths and Mysteries of the Midsummer Solstice

Litha, or Midsummer, is a celebration that has been observed for centuries, in one form or another. It is no surprise, then, that there are plenty of myths and legends associated with this time of year!

In England, rural villagers built a big bonfire on Midsummer’s Eve. This was called “setting the watch,” and it was known that the fire would keep evil spirits out of the town. Some farmers would light a fire on their land, and people would wander about, holding torches and lanterns, from one bonfire to another. If you jumped over a bonfire — presumably without lighting your pants on fire — you were guaranteed to have good luck for the coming year.

After your Litha fire has burned out and the ashes gone cold, use them to make a protective amulet. You can do this by carrying them in a small pouch, or kneading them into some soft clay and forming a talisman. In some traditions of Wicca, it is believed that the Midsummer ashes will protect you from misfortune. You can also sow the ashes from your bonfire into your garden, and your crops will be bountiful for the rest of the summer growing season.

It is believed in parts of England that if you stay up all night on Midsummer’s Eve, sitting in the middle of a stone circle, you will see the Fae. But be careful – carry a bit of rue in your pocket to keep them from harassing you, or turn your jacket inside out to confuse them. If you have to escape the Fae, follow a ley line, and it will lead you to safety.
Residents of some areas of Ireland say that if you have something you wish to happen, you “give it to the pebble.” Carry a stone in your hand as you circle the Litha bonfire, and whisper your request to the stone — “heal my mother” or “help me be more courageous”, for example. After your third turn around the fire, toss the stone into the flames.

Astrologically, the sun is entering Cancer, which is a water sign. Midsummer is not only a time of fire magic, but of water as well. Now is a good time to work magic involving sacred streams and holy wells. If you visit one, be sure to go just before sunrise on Litha, and approach the water from the east, with the rising sun. Circle the well or spring three times, walking deosil, and then make an offering of silver coins or pins.

Sun wheels were used to celebrate Midsummer in some early Pagan cultures. A wheel — or sometimes a really big ball of straw — was lit on fire and rolled down a hill into a river. The burned remnants were taken to the local temple and put on display. In Wales, it was believed that if the fire went out before the wheel hit the water, a good crop was guaranteed for the season.

In Egypt, the Midsummer season was associated with the flooding of the Nile River delta. In South America, paper boats are filled with flowers, and then set on fire. They are then sailed down the river, carrying prayers to the gods. In some traditions of modern Paganism, you can get rid of problems by writing them on a piece of paper and dropping them into a moving body of water on Litha.

William Shakespeare associated Midsummer with witchcraft in at least three of his plays. A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Macbeth, and The Tempest all contain references to magic on the night of the summer solstice.

Enjoying the Holidays With Children – Make Reindeer Food for Yule c.2015

(SIDE NOTE: I love this recipe but make sure you do it somewhere in your home where if glitter falls it is not going to bother you when it still shows up in June even after repeat vacuuming or mopping)

Make Reindeer Food for Yule

If your family still gets visits from Santa Claus, it’s traditional to leave out a plate of cookies and some milk for him — after all, it’s hard work flying around the whole world in one night. But what about his reindeer? They do most of the work, so why not leave a treat for them too? You can scatter it on the lawn before your kids go to bed, or leave it in a bowl near the stockings.

Traditional reindeer food includes glitter with the ingredients.

Glitter is very pretty and sparkly, but it’s also a synthetic that doesn’t biodegrade. Instead, you can use other, earth-friendly ingredients to give your reindeer food some sparkle. Here’s what you’ll need:

Plastic baggies or baby food jars

Dried oatmeal

Chopped nuts

Raisins

Red and green sugar crystals

Ribbon

Cardstock

Place a scoop of oatmeal in each baggie or baby food jar. Add a handful of raisins, and then some sugar crystals. Shake well. Seal the bag or jar, and add a ribbon around the top. Print out a card that says:

Reindeer, Reindeer, pulling the sleigh,
We’ve left you something nice today!
Oats and raisins and sugar so sweet,
It’s a tasty reindeer treat!
Have a Merry Yule!

and attach it to the jar of reindeer food so you can share it with friends.
