On this Aquarius Cross-Quarter day,
I invite you to reflect on what is awakening from hibernation within you, what has been dormant that is now waking up. I invite you to reflect on what feels vulnerable and new and worthy of protection. I invite you to ponder how that vulnerability shifts your perception of mortality, and how this moment helps you to integrate that shadow of mortality and work with the possibilities, both of beautiful potential growth and of the wasting and loss of things, because those are both part of the cycle that we see at this time of year. And, I invite you to ritualize or ceremonialize this awareness.
In the brief video above (16 minutes viewing time) I’ll guide us in deeply connecting with the Aquarian cross-quarter, aka Imbolc, a pivotal seasonal threshold in the northern hemisphere.
I’ll emphasizes four essential pathways: immersing in the rhythms of nature, reflecting on personal memories and cycles, consulting astrological wisdom, and exploring the richness of cultural stories and traditions.
Through my own tender memories and the potent symbolism of this time - from lambing to weather augury - I invite you to tenderly embrace the vulnerability and sense of mortality that permeate this precarious yet profoundly generative seasonal turning.
For your own spiritwork, I’ll encourage you to ritually consecrate a candle, drawing upon the practices of candle work and flame lighting traditional to this season. In honouring the inner flame, we kindle our curiosity and embark on the journey ahead with hope, reverence, and a renewed attention to the soul's unfolding.
