Stirrings.
January takes its name from Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and endings. He had two faces so he could see the future and the past! He was also the god of doors.

Winter light.
Naked trees and Moons.
Dark skies and stars.
Quieten, draw in,
Ice and snow
swirl and whirl
breathe slow.
Settle.

Cwtch in.
blankets and candles.
journals and books.
lamplight and shadows.
Fire

Drop.
the seeds are held deep in the earth
Rest in mystery.
place of all possibility
Give yourself up to deep nourishment
In the fertile cauldron of the earth.
as the forces of nature soften your shell
Time and no time.
Time out of time.
Sleep and Dream.
