January Quotes
“Brew me a cup for a winter’s night.
For the wind howls loud and the furies fight;
Spice it with love and stir it with care,
And I’ll toast our bright eyes,
my sweetheart fair.”

Spirituality & Health: The Spiritual Meaning of Imbolc
by Julie Peters
Imbolc is a holiday of hope, a celebration of the goddess Brigid, and the perfect time to honor your inner fire.
Imbolc is an ancient Celtic festival day held on February 1 each year. This is a cross-quarter day, marking the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, that invites the beginning of spring.

What’s in Your Book of Shadows?
I love my Book of Shadows—it’s an important Wiccan tool. I want it to not only contain important information, but I want it to look nice. I’m an artistic person, and I like to look at things that are aesthetically pleasing.

EarthSky News: M41: A faint star cluster near bright Sirius
Find star cluster M41
Do you want to see a star cluster? Then just look for nighttime’s brightest star, Sirius, in the constellation Canis Major the Greater Dog. A lovely star cluster – called Messier 41 or M41 – lies near Sirius. If you can’t see the star cluster, it’s probably because your sky isn’t dark enough. So try looking for it in binoculars.

Inner Journey:
ALL IS MIND
“I want to know the thoughts of God; the rest are details.”
— Albert Einstein
Everything — absolutely everything — that happens in our lives has a spiritual cause. Mental, emotional and physical events are only effects.
When we are struggling with any challenge, whether it be ill health, a lack of money, a lost job, relationships, an accident, whatever — we need to look for the spiritual learning. We can ask ourselves, “What quality does my soul want me to live more fully?”
“I went to the root of things, and found nothing but Him alone.”
— Mira Bai

I wish I could tell you, how beautiful life really is, how safe you always are, and of the love that constantly bathes you.
How powerful you are, how much you can have, and of the glories that await.
Of the perfection, the magic, and the infinite possibilities that fill your every day.
But you made me promise, “no matter what,” to let you discover these things for yourself.

Daily Tarot: Death
Say goodbye to some old useless habit and welcome the chance to develop a new habit that will serve you better and take you further. The Death card is not so much the end of anything as it is the shutting off of some automatic pilot switch and getting you back out under your own power again. Be strong. You can more fully embrace this change in the near future.
