I attended a Solstice ceremony in Ingapirca, Ecuador, in June 2023. The floor was adorned by sacred geometry patterns drawn in flower petals, with the Andean mountains watching over the ceremony.

Rituals like this one bring together people.

#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.

The photograph shows a group of snowdrops in the grass. In front of the snowdrops are three small, lit candles in clay pots.

Radical Anthropology

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!)

Sharing the wisdom of Britain's indigenous #spirituality these winter long-nights: the knowing of oak and river and mountain to bring us into deeper connection with the Web of Life

#AccidentalGods #Podcast w Philip Carr-Gomm of 'Tea with a Druid'

ACCIDENTAL GODS · Heart of Oak: Talking Druidry, Spirituality and the nature of Magic in the MetaCrisis with Philip Carr-GommHow is Druidry alive in the contemporary world? What are the values and practices that make it so suited to the inflexion point of the moment? Why - and how - does it mesh so well with other, more spiritual traditions? And how does the practice of Will, the honing of intent, create the magic we need to see in our world?

Antinous the Gay God

🪷 #Solstice #Brumalia #Saturnalia: December 24th is the end of the four-week Ancient Roman #Brumalia winter solstice festival honouring #Saturn/#Cronus and #Ceres/#Demeter. The Brumalia festival included night-time feasting and merriment. During this time, oracles were taken. Brumalia festivities ended on 24 Dec, ushering in the Saturnalia and the "Waxing of the Light". (Our photo shows a festively decorated Antinous bust by #SandraGore which she calls the "Ghost of Christmas Present.") 🪷

The Hoodeners

So this is #Solstice/#Xmas, and what have we done? The #Hoodening's over, we all had great fun… hopefully our audiences too, 13 performances around #Thanet in #EastKent, raising around £2000 for #SERVkent (Blood Runners). A new script as always, in rhyming couplets, but no new song this year. Topical references to NHS dentists, freebie clothing, Oasis, cost of living, explosive ships & rockets, Rwandagate, Wonkagate, Aurora Borealis, rural housing, dogging, army horses, and more… #HoodenHorse

The Hoodeners (of St Nicholas-at-Wade with Sarre) on their last night in 2024, at the Cherry Brandy house (Crown Inn) in Sarre. The wagoner in top hat with whip, Ted the farm hand, Molly with shawl and beer, the Boy, George the musician in floral suit, and squatting in front, Dobbin the ancient hooden horse.

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!

Pieces of a 5 pointed paper star that have been cut out of a laser printed paper.
5-pointer paper star that's been glued and taped (mostly) together. There's an opening at the base of one of the points. There's a red LED taped to a couple of coin batteries with wires coming off the batteries.
A grey haired guy in a black zip neck, holding a 5-pointed paper star that's lit from within by a red LED. You can see a little bit of the star reflected in the round mirror on the wall behind the guy.
A couple, bundled up in the cold, holding paper stars. There's an obvious crowd behind and around them.
