Before We Begin…..

We are temporarily using Lady A’s account because WordPress wants to charge each of us an additional fee to put videos on the site. Lady A has already paid this fee and now they want to charge each of us an additional fee. We did check with Lady A to make sure it was alright to use her account and she gave us the go ahead. She did give us a message for each of you…..

 

“I am thinking about each of you on this glorious & most beautiful day of the year, Yule. I regret that I cannot be there to share in this wondrous day but circumstance beyond my control prevent that. I still haven’t come to terms with what has happened. It all seems like a bad nightmare. I would also  like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for your generosity toward me. Thank you for the cards that you have sent, they have brightened my days and you will never know how much they mean to me.  I can never begin to thank you enough. Hopefully I will be out of the hospital in a few days. Till then, remember I am thinking of you and love you.”

Have a very blessed Yule, my sweets,

Love,

Lady A

From Yule to Imbolc

Yule to Imbolc

Witches celebrate the winter solstice with the lesser sabbat of Yule (or Midwinter). This may be the year’s shortest day, but it heralds ever-lengthening hours of daylight as the sun grows in strength. For thee Horned God has been reborn as the Sun Child, or Child of Promise, so that while we may still be light-deprived and shivering in the depths of winter, there is now real hope of being bathed in sunshine and warmth once again.

Similarities Between Beltane and Samhain

I believe that the veil between the spirit plane and our plane is thin not only on Samhain but on Beltane also. Why you may ask yourself? Well, let me explain my theory and then decide for yourself if you agree or not.

Both Sabbats are fire festivals. Beltane for fertility and to bless the fields and livestock to produce a bountiful harvest and Samhain for celebrating the end of that bountiful harvest for the year.

As one is occurring in one hemisphere be it northern or southern, while the other is happening in the other one. So I feel the veil does not just thin out for one half of the planet it would be thin everywhere.

While one is celebrating Mother Earth waking up the other celebrates her going to sleep to restore herself.I

So what do you Beltane and Samhain may be two sides to the same coin or not?

May what you sow on Beltane give you a final bountiful harvest on Samhain!
