December Quotes
“Deep at the bottom of the well no warmth has yet returned,
The rain which sighs and feels so cold has dampened withered roots.
What sort of man at such a time would come to visit the teacher?
As this is not a time for flowers, I find I’ve come alone.”
Su Shi, Visiting the the Temple of Auspicious Fortune Alone on the Winter Solstice

Patheos-Pagan: Giving Thanks to the Gods for This Year
DECEMBER 21, 2022 BY JOHN BECKETT
As we approach the end of the calendar year, it’s natural to look back and contemplate both the objective details and the subjective experiences of the year. It’s more than natural – its good and helpful and, I think, pretty close to essential. I’ve been doing this for most of my adult life and I’ll do it again on or around January 1.

Inner Journey: KNOW YOURSELF THROUGH JOURNALING
“The blank page gives us the right to dream.”
— Baston Bachelard
Journaling takes us on adventures of self-discovery that explore two different directions:
DEEPER into the realms of the subconscious where we can clean house of personal problems, pains, patterns, and reactions; and,HIGHER into the realms of our potential, where we can connect with intuition and higher guidance and uncover our essence and purpose.
“Life is a narrative that you have a hand in writing.”
— Henriette Anne Klauser
“I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are, what you have, and what can still be for you. I want to inspire you to see that you can go far beyond where you are right now.”
— Virginia Satir

Daily Tarot: The Tower
If any problems arise today, they will probably come out of being careless about something simple and normally no trouble at all. Carelessness is the chief threat to having things go smoothly. Even if only small things are lost, broken, or need to be redone, it can make tomorrow even more of a mess than today might be. Pay attention to details, take your time and do your best.
