She's sooo fed up with me taking pictures 😀

One of life's luxuries
Slow, easy mornings, no where to be
Nothing to do 🙌💙

This Sunday the 22nd sees the Autumn Equinox 🧡🍂🍂🍁
I think as a whole humanity has lost their connection with nature, but we need it to thrive and grow
This Sunday take some time to connect with the vibrations of nature around, look inwards and clear the clutter of what no longer serves you, whether this be people, habits or careers if it's costing you your peace and happiness then it's too expensive let it go 🙌💥
Happy Autumn Equinox 🧡

I THINK IT WAS JUST WOMEN

It must have been a terrifying sight to behold,
a group of witches gathered by firelight,
chanting, conjuring spirits, creating spells…

No wonder some were afraid.

But I think it was just women.

Being women.

Coming together, as they very much must,
to support one another,
to share their battles and pull each other
through the flames
they faced daily.

Sharing remedies, medicines
and ways to heal.

And believing they were so much more than told,
than allowed.

It is little wonder that the power of this union would appear like magic, to the unknowing eye.

But I think it was just women.

Doing what we do,

every day.

Celtic traditions, myths and legends.

In all things, Be Kind.

It has been said that winter is ruled over by the Holly King, and the Oak King, or Green Man, rules over the summer. In medieval times the Holly King was represented by a boy who walked around the town accompanied by his bride Ivy Girl, teasing and laughing and taunting each other in a kind of ritualised courtship. These are the last remaining strands of a tradition going back millennia to where they were once a god and goddess, remembered in the old carol, The Holly and The Ivy' where 'the holly wears the crown'.
The Oak and Holly King are two aspects of our ancient god of the sun. Rising and falling he is forever reborn at the winter Solstice, this is an ancient and recurring motif across the world and seen in other sun gods like the Roman Mithras. In Britain, the sun god was known by many names, and can be found in King Arthur’s as well as the old Celtic myths about the Mabon, or the "son". Honoured by the druids at the winter solstice, who reap his sacred seed, the mistletoe with golden sickle, he brings life back to the land.
At the darkest time, try closing your eyes, and look within. In the distance is a tiny pearl of flame. This is the sun within you. As you breathe, the solstice sun grows in power, reaching out its rays, it touches your heart, bringing life, and renewal. May its blessings fill you with light.

The Holly King and Oak King are personifications of the winter and summer in various neopagan traditions. The two kings engage in endless "battle" reflecting the seasonal cycles of the year: not only solar light and dark, but also crop renewal and growth. During warm days of Midsummer the Oak King is at the height of his strength; the Holly King regains power at the Autumn equinox, then his strength peaks during Midwinter, at which point the Oak King is reborn, regaining power at the Spring equinox, and perpetuating the succession.

Interpretations:

Robert Graves in The White Goddess identifies other legends and archetypes of paired hero-figures as the basis of the Holly/Oak King myth.
