The Wild Hunt News

Though beer has become a purely recreational drink over the last century and a half, as changes in food production, water management, and attitudes towards alcohol have phased it out of daily life, for many of our ancestors it was essential – as sacred as fire, bread, and the other building blocks of civilised life.

🧵 1 Here we are, more or less halfway between Winter Solstice + Spring Equinox! (Thanks to @mirabilos I've recently learned more about the calculation of #CrossQuarter Days: it's not so straightforward!)
Anyway, for me a general idea of mid-way works- I'll make my natural observations over several days anyway, and if I have time/ energy for ritual, it will depend on work/weather!

1-A bit of a mound rises from a snowy pasture- where the soil was piled when a cattle watering dugout was made long ago. It's a late winter afternoon, maybe an hour from sunset and the many little lumps and crests and ridges in the snow (made from cattle tracking around then wind blowing snow) on the mound have deep blue shadows on this side away from the sun. Behind the mound we can see a bit more of the snowy pasture then a line goes all the way across of low dark willows with here and there- mostly to the right- some smallish poplars sticking out above. We can't see how far this treed area goes exactly, but get a glimpse of another sliver of silvery snow much farther back where the ground rises a bit. Farther still are more shadowy trees and on the horizon, barely discernible, we see the foothills blue/hazy blending into the partly clouded sky (mountains behind invisible in cloud). A Line of modest fluffy clouds caps a slightly darker blue-grey with sunset highlights area above the mountains, and above those clouds the sky is faintly overcast pale grey with a hint of violet-coral!
2-Across an area of rather smooth snow broken by many small poplar suckers along with occasional other small woody things and the occasionalbit of dry grass or thistle, a loose row (a few metres wide) of youngish (maybe mid-size in diameter, at most, many skinnier) but tall follows a fenceline from left to right. Beyond we see more snowy ground and more distant low willows and trees.The soft barely golden white ball of sun shines between the trunks and branches from a dull blue sky with bits of cloud, a little less than halfway up the trees as it westers, casting long blue linear shadows from the trees on the snow in the foreground.

I try to add more and more self-made things to my altar, like this felt crystal ball which is a cover or "hat" for an LED tealight. On the second photo you can see a similar felt ghost LED tea light "hat" and christmas tree LED tea light "hat" (at the place of a friend's mom). The third photo shows a crochet wall hanging I made (didn't have a stick, so I used a pencil), and the fourth photo shows a nearly invisible (except when the light are out) glow-in-the-dark sigil on a tiny canvas and a watermelon made out of felt because free Palestine!

💛 Hamamelis in bloei

Langzaam maar zeker komen ze, de eerste tekenen van lente! 😍

Maria Lichtmis / Imbolc is gepasseerd.

Licht neemt het over van duisternis,
Bloemen verschijnen waar leegte was,
Nieuw leven verschijnt uit wat vorig jaar verdween,
De natuur ontwaakt uit haar winterslaap.
🙏

For our Imbolc celebration last night, we did a small family ritual to 'call back the light,' which is something we've done for the past few years now.

The flame is passed around the circle clockwise from one candle to the next, 13 in total, one for each moon of the year.

Then, we write goals on slips of paper that will bring more joy into our lives during the long wait until spring, and burn them in the cauldron.

My Imbolc season goal: "I will replace time doomscrolling with singing to trees."

A very small, three-inch cauldron circled with thirteen lit tealight candles. The glow illuminates a teal gradient, knit altar cloth adorned with the symbols of the zodiac.
