Memories

Sometimes the perfect combination of sight, smell, sound can transport you suddenly back through your memories to another time and place... This morning for a brief moment I was back at the Chalice Well in Glastonbury England, which just happens to be one of my most favorite places in the world. Wishing I could have stayed more than a moment...

One of my absolute favorite holiday symbols is the reindeer. I look forward each year to exploring new and creative ways to depict these beautiful and magical creatures. The origin story of Santa's flying reindeer is long and at times very complex. The eight named reindeer of Santa Claus first appeared in American literature in a famous poem whose author took inspiration from the flying goats of Thor's chariot in Norse mythology. Another story has Kriss Kringle obtaining magical corn from a wizard to give his fleet the ability to fly. However, the most likely origin of the flying deer comes of Artic shamans and their Carbo who would consume hallucinogenic mushrooms and riding the night away delivering presents to their neighbors.
I don't know about you but I definitely scan the starry night skies of Christmas Eve each year for a chance to glimpse these magical creatures.

Ostara

1 min read
Wishing everyone a very blessed Ostara / First day of Spring. Ironically, in my area the weather forecast is calling for snow..... Ostara is celebrated on the spring Equinox and is a holiday representing the fertility of spring and its symbols include eggs, rabbits, flowers, and seeds. So rejoice, the end of this brutally cold and snowy winter is here.
