We are striving to change the #patterns through #actions and #words. We are at the #protests & #marches in bright colors and/or bold patterns. We are #calling, #writing. We are filing #grievances against the #USA. We are #TellingTheBeads, #donating to the #ACLU & others.

Our #Feast-of-the-Heart was poignant this year. In my lifetime (which spans nearly 8 decades), we've not faced such societal dread, but my parents did. This perfidy by our nation will shape the younger generations as it shaped my parents. We needed this feast.

On the 15th, we Celebrate the #midpoint of our local and spiritual #winter.

Locally, our winter is early Dec to late Feb/early March, making mid Jan the center of winter.

#Sadness, like #happiness, is a skill we learn, and in #Numenism, we have a tripart Celebration to learn/experience it:

Snow dragon on a pedestal - an offering to our Numena, sculpted from snow.

Snow heart offering on a pedestal, sculpted of snow for our Numena.

Snow duckie sculpture offering to our Numena on a pedestal

We #Celebrated #FirstSnow last night and through today.

Last night, we played in the #snow, made snow offerings to our #Numena, admired #snowflakes, and had a #snowball toss.

Today, we made #snowcream, played some more, set out #birdfood, #catfood, #possumfood, and did #waxPatterning.

#CookieDay is our most sacred #holyDay not because of the #cookies but because of what the cookies #symbolize.

In #Numenism, cookies represent #community, #caring, #friendship, #abundance, #pleasure, #connections, #transformation, #layers, #comfort - all the things that make life joyful.
