The 21 Doors to Yule 2025

When the Winter comes
There is a certain beauty
Edges become sharper
Air is crisp with clarity
We can use that clear air
To see one more step
On our path

Traveling within, traveling toward, walking our pathways.
Humans are always filled with a passion to perceive, to find, to learn, to explore.
Our feet echo through the ages on this our sacred Earth.
Feel the threads of connection though we are apart.

Abbotts Bromley The Longest Night – MotherTongue

In the Darktime
Stories are born and remembered
We share our voices

In the Darktime
Edges look softer
We can see the stars

In the Darktime
Sounds reach deeper
We can hear the heartbeat

The Fairest Maid – MotherTongue

Every songbird makes a choice for the Winter
Some stay and rely on our gifts of seed and suet
And store their finds in the bark of trees
Others fly south to hunt
To escape the cold

Wherever you are
You are sacred
Let your song out

Sing even if it is in the bath or the shower
You will feel your song lift cares into the air
The air will let those cares disperse on the winds

We are meant to sing
Sing together with friends
Sing alone in the forest
Feel your song resonate and open your heart

Oaken Logs – MotherTongue

We receive many things from the Earth everyday
Allow yourself to perceive the abundance you already have.
Look within and see what you can let go of to make space,
Space for something new to seed.
What can you choose to offer as a sacred gift?
A sacrifice to allow something new to come into your life.
To allow something to change for the better in the world we share.
A world that has room for all beings,
Open to that possibility.

Sometimes the path is familiar
Other times it is pristine
What holds you back?
What guides you to keep you on your path?

Embracing
Enshrouding
Isolating
One

From

Tonight is Krampusnacht, let us honor the wild.

Many feet travel the Earth
Often we don’t see them

The wild ones pass
In the night or
At dawn and dusk

They brush the edges of human space
Feel their energy pull us
Deep toward the wild places

On the pathway
Through the seasons
There are signs

Sometimes there are flowers
Other days brightly colored leaves
Or mushrooms

But in winter we see the tracks
Patterns in the snow
Reminders that we share
This world with all beings
Seen and unseen

Tonight is the last Full Moon of the year 2025.

We open to the light of the mirror that is the moon and celebrate the beauty of the night.

Oidhche Mhaith Leibh – MotherTongue

Wilde winds sing
Through empty branches
A symphony for
Black star blessed skies

In this liminal space after Samhain and before Yule
There is the beauty of the structure
which remains after the season of growth.

In the darkness edges are softer
There is less separation between ourselves and the night.
We move in the shadows hidden yet powerful.

We move through a time that can allow us to remember
Not what we have lost, but what we have gained.

What we have done to make change
As we walk our path every day.
Find those of good will and join with them
To dream and create a better world for all beings.

Shadows lengthen
Days pass faster
Through barren trees

Hold to the Earth
Overhead wings fly south
Storms tumble
North to East
Ocean bound

Cold winds toss
The last fallen leaves
We wait
Soon….

Darkest Time of Winter – MotherTongue
