Naturalistic Paganism

Yule (the Winter Solstice) is coming up fast, + a bunch of Online Rituals!

For many of us, this is a big Sabbat, which takes a more preparation (and if you are buying gifts, the 2025 Naturalistic Pagan Gift List here might help).  Whether it’s due to cultural inertia, or kid’s expectations, the importance of Stars and this Sabbat, or whatever, it’s a big deal in our family.  We are already well along with the the Solstice doors Advent practice and all the decorating is fhished.  If you have been doing your Winter Solstice traditions for years, if you are just starting your family and are currently building the traditions which will bring the Universe to your kids, or anything in between, I hope that the traditions and practices on this post are found to be useful, inspiring, or just comforting.

Blessed Samhain! May we Appreciate those who are Dead, and Enjoy the Life we Have!

Happy Samhain!  As the darkness falls this Samhain night, our trillions of Ancestors visit us.  Who are they?  What can they offer you for your struggles today?  They can help you anytime during the year – not just now – if you ask.

Our Wheel of the Year gives us not just 8 Sabbats, but these Sabbats are in connected pairs, linked opposites.  Samhain and Beltane are a linked pair of opposites – Life and Death – both in meaning and in the fact that each is celebrated along with the other, on opposite sides of our Earth.
