I love thinking of the weather and the metaphors surrounding this holiday. Gonna light a candle, spruce up my altar, and wear my lil Imbolc pendant today

Do not mistake the systems within which we operate for life. They comprise a play we are expected to perform, but life has no need of a facade that masquerades as meaning for it is its own significance and worth. We can add nothing except we blind ourselves to its latent wonder.

#FullMoon last night Hosted my own little Álfablót yesterday evening too, but since bright screens & tech are off-limits (too glaring/startling for the elves, it's said), the feast wasn't photographed. It was so nice though! Didn't see any faces, familiar or otherwise, in the shadows, but we enjoyed our party in the candlelight #witchstodon #neopagan #alfablots
Blessed Vetrnætr (festival of Winter Nights) to all who celebrate. May the ancestors walk beside you in the coming year and the company of the Gods enlighten and inspire your way.
Hail the Old Gods!
