The winter solstice begins a season of storytelling and ceremony | Smithsonian Voices | National Museum of the American Indian | Smithsonian

In the Northern Hemisphere, the December solstice is the year’s day of least sunlight, when the sun takes its lowest, shortest path across the sky. North of the Arctic Circle, it is the midpoint of the period of darkness, when even twilight doesn’t reach the horizon. We asked a few of our Native friends to share traditions they’ve heard about the winter solstice. Their answers highlight winter as a time for storytelling.

F*ck Minimalism. F*ck Modern. Give me Joyously Cluttered, Antique, Upcycled, Repurposed. | elephant journal

In my many moves , lots of paperwork has been involved

as I move an office and a house it has been arduous, costly

and draining ..At some point I can burn these legal papers

and research , as years of documents are saved can be utilized

and deleted ..

I am not spartan , I enjoy my things , but certainly can downsize

or replace things , I’m not invested in . My home feels like home

and usually takes 18 months or longer to settle into.

Thus I always have projects .. The homes I have rented

require attention , challenges that slow me down or impede

forward movement and are totally avoidable .

It’s repetitive, and closing/clearing , very similar to the shaky

ground of past …

I give things to folks and don’t hold tight to many things .

Having had the experience of 2 or 3 adults , go through my

things and decide what to keep , and what to allow me .

Including our sons ….

I believe in abundance , sharing as much as possible , receiving

support and blessings from many sources , as I surrendered

to my life purpose …I AM HOME 🏠🌈🌝☮️🎁🎅🏼🤶🏼❤️🎄 ©️

Blessings & Peace ,

Doña Luna

Every 2 year moves , mainly for reasons of personal health

and safety

I am not a minimalist. I don’t value empty rooms. I don’t like clutter, either. I like a cozy, spacious, bright, cheerful home. I do not care for the modern fad

Smile by Judy Garland

Far from gloom and doom , I find my heart smiles

these days growing and expanding in peace and

harmony with as much as possible.

Awareness of deep pain, or covert mask has been

augmented , and thus in the healing process.

Awareness of shadow , and abilities to transform it

returning to comfort in heart , and mind , still contends

with body .. tweaking my diet plus clearing past

travesties of justice for sons and I , a few confidants

whom I treasure , as I’m on my own..I am in awe

and grateful beyond measure .

Smiles that greet me , hug my soul as I am received in

welcome … home…I am where I need and want to be

with great expectations of experiencing cheeks that ache

from smiling …eyes that are like waterfalls with tears

of release , equal to smiles …an ocean of tears

and fears/anger transformed , transmuted to love , and in

that peace ☮️..authentic smiles are cellular

All is well with my soul 🥰✊

Blessings & Peace ,

“The Cost Of Sanity, In This Society, Is A Certain Level Of Alienation”

This reality has come and gone , in my life, and I am very Thankful

to be aware, awake , and released from the matrix that swallows up

individuality and creativity ..

Spiritually in a desert , became extremely intense after motherhood

became impossible with shadow that rejoiced with my induced

addiction , plucking my bones until details could be cemented

as the living death of Alienation from all I was, knew , was removed

in a show of force that I’m never knowing when he will attempt

to execute his power..

Consider the pins and needles of a marriage to a person who has

no steadiness ,who erupts , in such revelation of sickness of soul

and fearing walking away .. with proof increased since my waking

the tricks , threats , lies have an air of desperation these last 2 years .

Imperative to clear old business, allow individual choices without

threat ,

The late psychonaut/philosopher Terence McKenna once said “The cost of sanity, in this society, is a certain level of alienation,” and I think my regular readers will immediately and experientially…

No More Lying About Mary | Nancy Rockwell

Totally into Mary’s truth ..

It’s Advent, and the same old lies about Mary are slipping over pulpits and out of parish letters, Christmas cards, public prayers, TV holiday movies, and late night comics’ jokes. The subjugation of Mary, the maligning of her as meek, mild, and mindless, has been harmful to millions of women over many centuries.

Luke Miller :12-12 10 Days Of Magic Manifestation 💫🌝

Today is 12/12/12 (as 2+0+1+9=12). This is a magical portal for transformation. There are 12 signs of the zodiac. A dodecahedron is a 12 sided shape that makes up one of the 5 sacred shapes called the platonic solids. There are 12 notes in a musical octave. There are also 12 months in a year… and the list goes on.

12 is a cyclical number, which in the examples I have shown span across macro and microcosmic space, sound and time. 12/12/12 also has the code of 333 in it (1+2=3), which added in succession gives us 3-6-9. This number is a code for ascension.

Nikola Tesla said “If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.”

There is also a very interesting Egyptian (Kemetic) metaphysical theory on the human body having 3 components- the physical, emotional and spiritual. With each of these having 3 components-

Physical-

Ren- Name

Khat- Physical body

Ka- Incorporeal body

Emotional-

Ab- The heart

Ba- The soul of the heart

Khaibit- The essence of the heart

Spiritual-

Sekem- Life force

Sahu- Spiritual body

Khu- Spiritual soul

Meaning the mastery of these 3 bodies incorporates the ascension from the physical (3), to the emotional (6) and finally the spiritual (9).

3 is also symbolic of family (mother, father and child), with 6 representing the extended family caregiver or community caregiver. Then finally 9 being the symbol of the unconditional caregiver or one that gives to all without prejudice. This is ascension on the physical plane, when one can view every person as a part of themselves with unconditional love.

Times are changing, and the decisions you make now do matter. You literally have the power to enrich your life and the lives of the people you come into contact with, and you can do this simply through the power of love.

From now to the 21st we have the 10 day ascension portal of 3-6-9 opening up and what you set as an intention moving forward can manifest in your life if you so choose it!

You are powerful and magical, and you can create a life that enriches your soul in every way possible!
