The 21 Doors to Yule 2025

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

a bear was there
