I love how you tie together the original traditions of lights during winter. It’s not something we think about often, there is just a acceptance and even desire for that twinkle of something bright during this time. Yet it’s a beautiful reminder of the deeper context of why, and how it nourishes us in the darkness. Nice to come back to these ancestral ways. Especially because there is so much artificial light these days, many people anyway don’t experience this total dark - which I feel is a deep and important medicine on its own, and a pillar to celebrate the lights that are lit in recognition of it. It opens the opportunity for us to illuminate the night with our candles and sacred lights. So beautiful. Thank you. I always love the holy lights that sparkle in these dark days. My favourite memories are that of my families Christmas tree when I was growing up, a centre of such joy in the the household for me and my sister.

How I would wait for the blue lights to be strung on the tree. I would sit for a long time drinking them in, holding them to my heart, their cleansing and clearing energy.
