One returns to the place one came from.
What does your book of shadows look like? Is it a collection of spells from you working on improving your life? Or is it a series of celebratory rites?
Wicca is a religion of celebration. We celebrate the seasons as they turn from year to year. We celebrate the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth.
Here’s a question for you, do you celebrate the seasons only on the Sabbats and not all year round? Do you only celebrate the Goddess at Esbats once a month or every night as the moon shows us her many faces.
Celebrations should flow throughout the year. Every day is a day to celebrate.
In South Africa I am lucky enough to experience an African sunset and sunrise every day and that alone is a reason to celebrate.
Salute the sun in the evening and thank the Great Horned God for warming us and honouring us with his presence during the day time. As the moon rises, welcome the Triple Goddess as she embraces us.
When winter comes I can almost instinctively feel when Orion is going to bless our skies more clearly. He has special significance to me and I always thank him and spend a moment looking up into the night skies.
Birth, copulation and death. That's all the facts when you come to brass tacks.
