Today is one of my favorite days, a celebration of the wisdom of light. This concept holds many meanings for different people, but for me, it’s a time to connect with the flame. I feel its warmth, its strength, and its fragility. I’m reminded that a candle embodies all four elements: fire, of course, to burn; air, to fuel the flame; water, in the liquid wax, keeping the fire under control; and earth, at its core, providing the fuel that sustains it (the Goddess). Just like a candle, we too can be a light in the darkness. I know that, like a flame, I need balance. Sometimes I must be tamed to avoid burning out. The air keeps me connected to the spirit of place and the season, and with the Goddess at my center, I remain grounded and centered. And however you celebrate this time of year may you all be blessed with the light, peace and joy of the season.
