Naturalistic Paganism
Solar Eclipse (Only Visible from Antarctica) Tuesday, then a Blood Moon March 3rd! Here are some Ritual ideas. [Stardust, Contemplating]
Knowing that eclipses come in pairs (a solar eclipse paired – two weeks away – with a lunar eclipse) is yet another example of our Naturalistic Pagan approach of learning and knowing about our Universe, and also celebrating that Universe with Pagan practices. Though the solar eclipse is not easy to see (it’s for the penguins this time, being only visible in Antarctica and such), one can still hold a ritual at the eclipse time and/or see a simulcast. Note that an incorrect claim that the solar eclipse on February 17th will be visible in the United States has circulated on some facebook and other social media – don’t be fooled, the solar eclipse is not visible from the US nor Europe. For the Lunar eclipse, this time, the lunar eclipse is afterwards (March 3rd), and will be visible to a lot of us! It’s positioned making it viewable in Asia, Australia and the Americas – not Europe nor Africa. Even though it will be more than 220,000 miles away, the stunning spectacle of the Lunar Eclipse will soon capture the gaze of many millions of people. What do you have planned for this magical time?

Happy Winter Thermstice/Imbolc!
Happy Winter Thermstice, or Imbolc! Amid the dark and cold, the warmth and light begin to return. The days are noticeably longer now that it’s been over a month since the Winter Solstice, and now we begin warming as well. It’s the middle of Winter, but warmer days lie ahead!

The Winter Thermstice (Imbolc) Approaches! + Online Rituals!
For those of us in more Northern climes, the Winter Thermstice, or Imbolc, means ice and snow. Earlier, we looked at snowflakes, seeing on an atomic level why they make such beautiful crystals. This year, we have a full moon for Imbolc – rising just after sunset in your local sky!
