Spirituality & Health: Winter Magick: 3 Balancing Rituals Using Snow
by Megan Shoop-Volz
Snow’s dual energies of quietude and preparation make it excellent for rebalancing our energies.
In cold climes throughout the winter months, something incredible happens. The atmosphere cools and droplets of moisture in the air freeze into millions of unique hexagonal crystals. Wafting gently to the earth, they cling together to form a cold, insulating blanket of snow.

Treehugger: Macro Photos of Snowflakes Show Impossibly Perfect Designs
Snowflakes should be considered one of the great wonders of the world.
One of the true wonders of the world are snowflakes, tiny designs made of ice that are so individually unique, so detailed, and so spectacular it’s hard to comprehend that they happen naturally and aren’t pulled from the depths of our own imaginations.

Patheos-Pagan: 2023 Retrogrades: A Witch’s Guide for Reflection
DECEMBER 7, 2022 BY CHARLOTTE WILDE
What is retrograde? Well, simply put, it is an optical illusion.
Earth moves faster or slower than other planets as they each move at different speeds. So, when Earth laps another planet, the planet appears to be moving backward from our vantage point here on Earth.

A Note from the Universe
Isn’t it strange how once you set your gaze upon something or someone, you get to decide what you see?
Yet often folks still think “it” or “they” have something to do with their reaction?
I see you happy, healthy, and wise, Fabulously wealthy, too.
Tallyho,
The Universe

Daily Tarot: The Tower
The biggest danger you face today is being aloof and thus fail to see an approaching problem. This can cost you the chance to intercept the difficulty and minimize it, if not avoid it all together. Pay attention without getting paranoid, and take nothing and no one for granted. Danger may not lurk within every single shadow, but a small misstep can sometimes cause problems that are way out of proportion to the cause.
