Your posts have been so helpful to me in understanding the shifts of the seasons throughout the year. This one today really clarified for me how the solar masculine shifts at the solstice to the beginning of the feminine. Thank you for this. I have been trying especially in this past year to live closer to the seasons shifts, tracking things like the moon cycles and especially the cross quarter holidays and your posts have helped me a great deal.

Thank you Jan for sharing this! I realized the reason for feeling so off balance some years back. I wasn’t in sync, so to speak, out of touch with Nature and caught up in the chaos of the world around me. I was suffering and my art was suffering because of it. I wasn’t happy. Everything felt “off”. It’s taken time but I’ve learned from moving with the Wheel and using moon energy to become more connected and balanced. I do my best art on high energy moon phases, drawing on that energy. I have reconnected with Nature, moving now with the flow of her seasons. I feel more a part of the Divine and realize that the Divine has always been there waiting for me to figure it out. The Divine isn’t confined to buildings of worship. I am connected just as the trees and the smallest of creatures. My “church” is in Nature.💜

Like so many others before you, Emily Dickinson and Mary Oliver come to mind, you’ve found the sacred in Nature, the heart’s home and the soul’s repose.
