  1. I did everything right. Run at 4:30, mat at 6, desk by 8. By noon I was depleted. I thought that was balance.

    Turns out, I'd been chasing a myth.

    When did your body last try to tell you something you weren't ready to hear?

  6. What if balance doesn't mean doing everything every day, it means doing what's true right now?

    Some weeks running, some weeks gentle yoga, some weeks just rest.

    How does balance look different for you across the seasons of a year?

  9. #ArtAdventCalendar Day 21 From the weekend #commute- several days of fresh (though modest) snow and wind left some splendid drifts in the roadside ditches. Images composed of 2 views 1 on top of the other. Hoping all northerners are having a beautiful mid-winter and a lovely mid-summer for those on the other side of the world! #Solstice #SeasonalRhythms #Alberta #Canada #photography

  10. #ArtAdventCalendar Day 20 but posted today on the 21- the #WinterSolstice where we celebrate the imminent (albeit slow) return of the #Sun in the northern hemisphere, but we also ought to remember the importance of darkness which is at its strongest now: rest, soil, womb, rebirth. 2 images to emphasize the #duality #pagan #animist #Ragana #Saule #winter #garden #nature #SeasonalRhythms

  16. Snow was right on time for the #CrossQuarterDay between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice- marking the #TimeOfIce -beginning of the #winter season in the traditional #Latvian calendar. The days since have been mild, but shadows long, shade and breezes chilly, temperature dropping rapidly as soon as the sun is below the trees or behind clouds so the winter season is definitely at hand, even if it is yet to get deeply cold (we've had nights probably had -10/-12C 14-10F)

  17. Here's the #Spectra link to the #AutumnEquinox short video
    After the Equinox we enter the #TimeOfSpirits leading into #winter when we honour, remember, spend time with loved ones no longer with us physically.

  18. #AutumnEquinox middle of #autumn though we've had a long stretch of warm dry weather + the season doesn't feel that advanced - it was near/below the freezing mark last night, more to come soon, no doubt! Wishing all in the Northern Hemisphere a beautiful autumn +winter to come- time of ripening, maturing, senescence, death that precedes rebirth- heralded by the most crazy beautiful natural spectacle of the year! #pagan #animist #baltic #Latvian #Alberta #Canada #nature #garden #SeasonalRhythms

  19. There are still some warm days to come, but #FrostMother is leaving hints on chilly nights and #LeafMother is letting us know she's around as more bits of colour appear in the foliage.. #Autumn begins, slowly, subtly but soon to gain speed.. #FoliageFriday On a smoky day in mid-week: Amur Maple Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala in the #Garden

  20. We've learned to work with natural rhythms instead of fighting them. Cold weather for detailed work, warm weather for riding, everything cycling according to Mother Nature's schedule.

    Tag someone whose building schedule follows the seasons. This natural pattern makes sense.

    How do seasons affect your building schedule? Each time of year has its advantages.

  23. I'm late on this (surprise! lol) -photos were taken on the day of the #SummerSolstice edited next day, alt written, and I still didn't get them posted..lol I hope #midsummer is treating you well or #midwinter if you are in the #SouthernHemisphere
    These seasonal markers are always a time of observation of #nature and of reflection for me #pagan #animist #SeasonalRhythms I have a *big* video coming...lol (slow walks and garden views) #Alberta #Canada #BloomScrolling

  24. #Spring is a time for a lot of traditional + #pagan celebrations. Here's a post of mine from last year for Ūsiņš Day the #Latvian celebration for the #CrossQuarterDay around #MayDay though Christianisation has often bumped it up to April 23- nearly on top of #Easter this year. I'm happy to lump them all together- the first flowers, warming weather, the greening soon to come, renewal of life- and some chocolate! I'll be out looking for bees today. #SeasonalRhythms #nature

  25. 🧵 2- So, Happy Waiting for Spring (this is what #Latvians call this Cross-quarter, unlike the British #Imbolc, which sees #spring already arriving!) for all of us in still cold places 🙂 for those of you actually seeing spring, Happier still! ( and Welcome/Waiting For Autumn for those on the other side of the world 🙂

  26. In Latvian tradition the November Cross-quarter Day #Mārtiņi (November 6ish) between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice (root of #Samhain, #AllHallowsEve, #Halloween, #Divali etc) marks the beginning of winter and end of the Time of Spirits. Time to remember and welcome, celebrate lost loved ones before the veil between our world and theirs 'closes' again.

  31. I'm not that excited about mainstream holidays, but Thanksgiving
    is not a bad concept- daily gratitude
    has been shown to be very beneficial. This altar( cohanmagazine.blogspot.com/202 ) was prepared for the Equinox but works now too! Giving thanks for all the bounty of #Nature #GreatMother
    A Beautiful Season to All!

  32. I finally got my #AutumnEquinox stuff all done 😆 The #blog post has thoughts on traditional #Latvian harvest celebrations and the Time of Spirits which begins then.
    There are more photos, 4 videos, all links to YouTube and #Spectra in the blog, and I'll link the videos in the thread here too.

  33. Sunday- day of the #AutumnEquinox was a bit rainy off and on, so I didn't do my main seasonal/remembrance altar (that was yesterday instead, posts yet to come!). Instead, I went for a bit of a #SlowWalk and made an impromptu altar with some odds and ends I picked up along the way-added to a bench that had bits of wood I kept aside from last winter's woodcutting.

  34. 1-As we enter Autumn, here's a look back to fresh, green mid-summer. I've just finished pulling together videos + photos for a Summer Solstice blog post. Here's the link cohanmagazine.blogspot.com/202
    it has all the video links, Youtube + Spectra/Peertube plus more photos. I'll link all the videos here, too, in a thread (all short, some actual 'shorts').

  35. More images for Māras or #GreatMotherDay the beginning of #Autumn showing the shift in vegetation from the green of #summer to the gold of #autumn. Doubling for an early #Caturday post, with a neighbour cat sitting on the road allowance beside the acreage (hunting, no doubt, but watching me) #pagan #GoddessCulture #SeasonalRhythms #cats

  36. I'm working on some video and a new blog post for Māras- the August #CrossQuarterDay meanwhile (above in this thread) here's last year's post.

  37. #ArtAdventCalendar Day 18 but I'm posting #December 21 so Blessed and Happy Solstice to all! This date is what all the mid-winter holy days/festivals are really about in the Northern Hemisphere - Sun has reached the maximum of her southward journey, and will begin the slow return. We celebrate the anticipated return of #light but also should take some time to reflect on the darkness: #sleep #blood #soil #death #regeneration #SeasonalRhythms #pagan #animist
    Happy mid-summer to Southern friends!

  38. "...may your spirit soar with Saulė on her journeys away and back, may Mārtinš keep your heart safe and warm with the sacred fire of love and kinship (wherever you find or build it!) tucked into the nurturing soil/darkness of Great Mother/Māra!
