poem from from “Odyssey of Expelled Cultures” - by Donna Carey

As autumn yields to winter, we enter the delicate alchemy of Metal moving into Water. Metal offers clarity, refinement, and the sacred art of letting go; Water receives what is shed, gathering it into a deeper well of wisdom. This seasonal passage invites us inward, to soften, surrender, and nourish the roots of yin while listening for the subtle guidance that arises from silence and stillness.

With the turning of the wheel we approach the Winter Solstice, a time when energy reverts deeply to the root. This marks a time of great stillness, nurturance and stoking of the yin fire, consolidation of energy, pulling in and grounding to the earth.
