We have been dancing through our own health conditions and the loss of some old friends while deepening new as well as old relationships and it has lifted our spirits to know so many wonderful people!

A Simple Winter Solstice Ritual: A 🧵. If you do nothing else to mark the longest night, the Solstice Eve, do this. Be still for five minutes of the night and start with one small candle. Let the light grow from there. Blessed days, holy nights.

Down Through the Winters by the The Portland Revels. This Revels album is a soothing balm. Mix of Medieval and Trad, as well as spoken word. "The Year" tells the wheel of the year towards the Winter Solstice. The perfect companion with the great poem that all the Revels use, "The Shortest Day".

Through the Bitter Frost and Snow: By Susan McKeown and Lindsey Horner. A favorite in our home. Bold Orion is one I sing to myself all the time, watching him rise as Winter comes on. "Winter King" is another stellar original. "Green Growth The Holly" is the best arrangement of that trad song.

Shane Odom Song of Solstice by Jennifer Cutting's Ocean Orchestra. Our friends band, Jennifer Cutting & Stephen Winick. Includes a Green Man song which was inspired by my Green Man Order, which she and Stephen are members of. "Light the Winter's Dark" is a hymn for the light of all the prophets.

On the Solstice, weather allowing, we light our bonfire, turn off all lights in the home, and then bring in one candle lite from the fire. We use this flame to light many others, scattering the light about the home, while singing this song.

Beautiful Darkness: Celebrating the Winter Solstice by Jessica Ruby Radcliffe , Lisa Ekström & Martin Simpson. Enchanting mix with some traditional and spoken word. Notably is "One Small Candle" and it a personal mission to spread that song far and wide. Our family Solstice ritual uses it.

Thread of unique Holiday music. Awake Arise: A Winter Album. By Lady Maisery, Jimmy Aldridge, and Sid Goldsmith. It's a marvelous collection of traditional English Folk music for the season, spoken word, and original. Truly a journey through winter to be listened to in it's completeness.

Reading "The Wild Places" by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social and using my drawing of a Green Man as a bookmark. It's a testament to both our connections and losses of wildness.

“November comes And November goes, With the last red berries And the first white snows. With night coming early, And dawn coming late, And ice in the bucket And frost by the gate. The fires burn And the kettles sing, And earth sinks to rest Until next spring.” ~ Elizabeth Coatsworth

Last Christmas Ich gave thee my hearte But the verye next daye Ther came a wolf, Wyth sinews of whispers, quiet as frost And the wolf stole my hearte, Fled to a tower out of tyme Biyonde all the stars. Seek now my hearte, Return it within a yeare and a daye: Thys ys thy queste!

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

As I seem to be picking up followers who don't already know our work,here goes. My wife and I are primarily sculpted leather mask makers creating wearable works inspired by myth and fantasy. Pictured is a Mother Earth piece that sold at the Maryland Renaissance Festival.
