Happy Solstice everyone! Finally the days begin to get longer again… but barely at first. This time between the Solstice and Christmas challenges us to shoulder a portion of the Sun’s burden… enlightening the world. Shine brightly through your open heart– it’s easy and rewarding.

Among the New Age Lightworker community this Solstice is heralded as The Return to Innocence. Surely we’ve languished in the unsavoury and corrupt places long enough; we’ve explored separation to the max; the Old World has nothing left to offer us– if soul growth is our Intent. We might as well re-establish our stance in innocence and begin this New Exploration in Unity…

As you’ve likely noticed, most of our wintertime interactions are with tracks in the snow. For the most part Sitka and I are content with that.

Pictured above are the easily recognizable tracks of Rabbit. He was all over the scene down by the river. And there was one other whose tiny footprints overlaid our previous journeys too. The other tiny canine paws (much smaller than Sitka’s) most likely belong to Fox. Being a nocturnal animal, Fox has ever eluded me during the day.

The interesting thing about Fox and Rabbit teaming up like this is that they are both “ambassadors” to the Faerie Realm. Alice followed Rabbit into Wonderland, while Fox has mastered living between the Worlds– unseen.

After the recent establishment of the Earth Coalition of Animal Nations, Plant Kingdoms and the New Humanity, Rabbit and Fox are reminding us to acknowledge and connect with the Devic Realms too. All the Nature Spirits and Elementals have held themselves aloof from Human Consciousness long enough. It is time for us all to be reacquainted with one another… now that we can find a place beyond our immediate survival needs where magick is still able to reside and flourish.

Our progress through this long year of Transformation has not been exactly smooth– but that’s how Nature operates. In fits and starts, in leaps and bounds, we build our own personal level of trust and then dive into a New Exploration, immersing ourselves in the Unknown… again.

Rabbit speaks to our fecundity– but not mere procreation which brings the past forward. Today Rabbit speaks of Brand New Life… our ability to create what has never been before. Fox brings the lessons of invisibility and cleverness to our mission. We will get there– are getting there– despite our doubts and misgivings, in spite of ourselves… suddenly we find we have indeed arrived!
