Ma grande passion, ce sont les fêtes païennes. J'ai écrit une vingtaine d'articles dessus et je suis en train de terminer un cycle de dessins sur le sujet.
Voici "Le cercle de Litha", la fête du Solstice d'été, encore célébrée dans des endroits mythiques comme Stonehenge, qui m'a donné l'idée des pierres dressées pour ce dessin numérique.

#Snowdrops in the grass #meadow. A photograph to acknowledge #Candlemas, or #Imbolc, tomorrow, 2 February.
The #Christmas period is truly over now as we head into late winter.
Imbolc falls halfway between the winter #solstice and the spring #equinox. It is a #Gaelic traditional festival celebrating light and the first signs of #spring.
Every year I hope for the snowdrops to rise up through the snow - in vain.

Our #resolution this 'new year' is that in fact it began with the Winter #Solstice and runs through 13 Dark 🌑s to the next Winter Solstice. We will celebrate each dark and full Moon.

We intend to #ReclaimTime and the #patriarchal control of #time in the settler-colonial #Gregorian #calendar. This completely eliminates the #Moon which belongs to virtually every #Indigenous #cosmology. Cosmic time reckons with 🌍 🌙 and ☀️

Look Westerly on a bright #London horizon this evening for the 🌙 setting. Tomorrow late night lie with your feet NE and look up for the #Quadrantids (bring a blanket!)

Celebrated the #Solstice on Saturday by crafting paper star lanterns (printing, cutting, gluing, taping, and finding LEDs) with @llorenzin at the last minute and joining the Solstice Lantern Walk in Hillsborough, NC again this year.

The pattern for the stars comes from @bleeptrack's super cool "Wish Upon A*" online star generator! (a-star.bleeptrack.de)

I often feel like I don't have as much creativity in my life as I would like to, and I really enjoyed making something - especially something that turned out fun and pretty!

It's the #DayOfHelios / Sol's Day / #Sunday! ☀️

Last night was the longest night of the year in Greece, so #Helios had his shortest work day.

"At the winter solstice, the sun would seem to be a little child like that which the Egyptians bring forth from a shrine on the appointed day, since the day is then at its shortest and the god is accordingly shown as a tiny infant."
Macrobius, #Saturnalia
