#solstice

Ma grande passion, ce sont les fêtes païennes. J'ai écrit une vingtaine d'articles dessus et je suis en train de terminer un cycle de dessins sur le sujet.
Voici "Le cercle de Litha", la fête du Solstice d'été, encore célébrée dans des endroits mythiques comme Stonehenge, qui m'a donné l'idée des pierres dressées pour ce dessin numérique.

#Snowdrops in the grass #meadow. A photograph to acknowledge #Candlemas, or #Imbolc, tomorrow, 2 February.
The #Christmas period is truly over now as we head into late winter.
Imbolc falls halfway between the winter #solstice and the spring #equinox. It is a #Gaelic traditional festival celebrating light and the first signs of #spring.
Every year I hope for the snowdrops to rise up through the snow - in vain.

I'm keeping my tree up year round to celebrate the seasons. I'm starting by making my spring decorations and had the idea to make a seed ornament. As a gardener this time of year is so exciting for the potential of the seeds we plant. I had to add them slowly, by hand, opening up my seed packets and picking the ones with meaning to me. It contains corn, the reliable Lincoln pea, sunflowers, the grooved nasturtium seed, the tiny but prolific tomatillo, the curved calendula seed, and the delicate marigold seed as well as many more.

Our #resolution this 'new year' is that in fact it began with the Winter #Solstice and runs through 13 Dark 🌑s to the next Winter Solstice. We will celebrate each dark and full Moon.

We intend to #ReclaimTime and the #patriarchal control of #time in the settler-colonial #Gregorian #calendar. This completely eliminates the #Moon which belongs to virtually every #Indigenous #cosmology. Cosmic time reckons with 🌍 🌙 and ☀️

Look Westerly on a bright #London horizon this evening for the 🌙 setting. Tomorrow late night lie with your feet NE and look up for the #Quadrantids (bring a blanket!)
