pickI have read this story to my kiddo every yule. She loves it. We made orange slice garland and gave an offering to Skadi and Frigg for a blessed year. ❤️
pickMy #wintersolstice started with cinnamon rolls & a lovely #yuleswap from @Chrissyreadit ❤️❄️ the shiny paper entertained Eliot & Elinor all day ✨🎁 spent some time writing last minute cards, did a yearly forecast tarot reading, & then ended by making garlands with dried oranges, cranberries, popcorn, & cinnamon sticks🎄it may have been the shortest day, but it was very full 🥰 #woty
Winter Solstice Blessings to you all! May the return to the light bring you all peace, comfort, and cozy vibes. #SolsticeBlessings #WinterSolstice #ReturntotheLight #WinterisHere #ComfyCozy
On the 2nd day of Yule I am sharing a book with the poem written by Susan Cooper- one of my favorite authors of all time.

Read these two books tonight with my son. Happy Solstice, everyone!
So the shortest day came, and the world died, and everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world came people singing, dancing, to drive away the dark. They lighted candles in the winter trees; they hung their homes with evergreen; they burned beseeching fires all night long to keep the year alive. And when the new year‘s sunshine blazed awake they shouted, reveling.
I ordered this book for Winter Solstice. It arrived in March. Beautiful.
