My son’s flight from MD to Denver was canceled; however, he will arrive on Thursday, so I have time to make those rum balls, if someone would re post the recipe.

Happy holidays to all!

Friends will come to our house and we’ll hang wreaths to represent the sun. We’ll raise energy by chanting “ma,” the mother sound, and cast a circle by invoking the four elements, air, fire, water, and earth at the east-south-west-north corners respectively. We’ll invoke birth-giving Goddesses and celebrate the return of the light after the dark season by lighting a Yule (wheel) log. We’ll cast spells of healing and joy for friends and family, and drink libations of gratitude for all of the many blessings of our lives. Then we’ll open the circle and have a big feast, and share gifts and tell stories. We’ll laugh a lot. :D</p> <p>I’ve been practicing the craft for 25 years now. I hope you don’t mind me sharing my spiritual traditions with you. I always feel like I’m with family whenever I’m at the Lake.</p> <p>Blessed Be.</p> Tonight we’ll host our midwinter rite.

I’ve been practicing the craft for 25 years now. I hope you don’t mind me sharing my spiritual traditions with you. I always feel like I’m with family whenever I’m at the Lake.

Blessed Be.

Good morning, and Happy Christmas Adam everyone! Having a hard time getting in the spirit this year – it’s currently sunny and 58 degrees…in northeastern PA.

It’s 58 here in New York, too. A bummer from the standpoint of getting into the spirit. But every time I think about the electric bill, it makes me happy, happy.

It’s going to be 72 in Long Beach, CA, today. Ho ho ho. :(
