A Midwinter blessing

and a much needed catch up

My photo taken in Spring during a hike a few years back. I didn’t see the sparkles at the time I snapped the pic so for me it was magical and a reminder that Spring will always return. The magic of the Spirit continues to whisper in our hearts despite everything.

Hi Hello! If you are reading this please know it means a lot to me that you signed up for my Substack and that I hope you are as well as can be in these strange times we are living through.

I had such high hopes for this newsletter, but then 2025 happened and like so many of us I have been struggling, especially struggling with feeling creative.

So here we are at midwinter where I live. We are halfway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox with its promise in the North of the beginning of the tilt towards the Sun and the stirrings of renewed life deep within our mother Earth. And in a couple of days I’ll be observing Imbolc along with Groundhog’s Day.

I will be lighting candles and planting the intention for an abundant year ahead. I also do an energetic cleaning of my space and a tarot reading for the period between now and Spring.

It is still very cold and silent in the mountains where I live, but I do feel the spark, however tiny at the moment, stirring in my soul. Spring is coming again and with it the desire to create something.

So here I am.

A new beginning.

While I have no intention of ever spamming you I do plan on writing on a fairly regular basis going forward if only to share what I’m up to for now.

Tomorrow, this Saturday January 31st let’s try to focus on something positive. I know I sure need to take my mind off things even for a couple of hours. If you are interested in the paranormal and magic please consider joining me in supporting the Anomaly Archives. You can check out the details via the link below. And please share with anyone you think might be interested in supporting the archives and hanging out talking magic and paranormal, UAP, and parapsychology.

And

Earlier this week I had a fun conversation on similar themes with Steve Berg that you can check out here. It was a lot of fun to share some laughs while pondering the mysteries of the Universe. Have a listen!
