The Christmas Witch

Image
The Befana is a simultaneously good and stern old woman who visits homes where children live on the night between January 5 and 6. To get from one house to another, she flies on a broom, which tradition has turned around with twigs on the front (thus in contrast to the way medieval “witches” carry it). This traveling old lady has a big nose and a protruding chin; she is more generous than beautiful. Her clothes are threadbare and her shoes old; on her head, she wears a rag to shelter her gray hair from the cold. While the children are sleeping, La Befana stuffs their socks with sweets and small toys, if the children during the year have been good, while she puts bits of coal or ashes in them if they have been too fussy. Children prepare to receive the Befana by leaving her a glass with a latte in the kitchen, along with the socks to be filled. May your Christmas be happy and blessed ✻✿ ✻*LIKE ✻✿ ✻* SHARE✻✿ ✻* Please don't forget to LIKE our posts and SHARE our page to keep us in yo...

Winter Solstice

Image
  Let me take a moment to say that today People don't seem to make time for traditions. With all the rushing of the holidays especially people get to caught up in things to be able to slow down and enjoy the holidays, take time for traditions and remember the family time, time for rest and relaxation more than any other time of year. We all need to take time to breath, think back, investigate their heritage and family life  more. "The winter solstice time is no longer celebrated as it once was, with the understanding that this is a period of descent and rest, of going within our homes, within ourselves and taking in all that we have been through, all that has passed in this full year which is coming to a close... like nature and the animal kingdom around us, this time of hibernation is so necessary for our tired limbs, our burdened minds. Our modern culture teaches avoidance at a max at this time; alcohol, lights, shopping, overworking, over spending, comfort food and consumer...

Value Your Own Wisdom

Image
Your very own inner wisdom should be valued more than any other and will always guide you in the direction you need to travel. Throughout our lives, we will encounter individuals who presume to know what is best for us. The insights they offer cannot compare, however, with the powers of awareness and discernment that already exist within us. From birth we are blessed with wisdom that cannot be learned or unlearned. It exists whether or not we acknowledge it because it is a gift given to us by a loving universe before we chose to experience existence on the earthly plane. Yet for all its permanence, it is vital that we value and honor this incredible element of the self. It is when we do not use our inborn wisdom that we begin to doubt our personal truths and are driven to outside sources of information because we are afraid. What we know to be true in our hearts is invariably true, and we discover how intensely beautiful and useful self-trust can be when we recognize the power of our w...
