New Year Walk: New Beginnings

This year I hope to spend more time out of doors, and, in particular, connecting with the wisdom of the trees. Our Celtic ancestors created their annual calendar around trees. It celebrates the cyclic nature of life. From the shortest day to 20th January is associated with the Silver Birch : Beginnings.

After an area of woodland is cleared, or after a fire, perhaps, the Silver Birch are the first trees to spring to life. On my walk today I experienced the feminine energies of these birches. Silver is associated with the moon and mysticism. (Trees of the Goddess by Elen Sentier)
A New Year ritual: write down on a piece of paper all that you are grateful for from 2015. Then write down your wishes/hopes for 2016. Tie the paper(s) around a silver birch log and watch it burn in the hearth or bonfire in the company of friends and family with whom you share your gratitude and hopes.

Where will your path take you this year? What nourishes you, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually? (Hatha Yoga the Hidden language by Swami Sivananda Radha)

Are you walking alone or do you have companions on the path?

How much growth will you experience this year?

Don't forget to honour the wise, old part of yourself!

And look at the bigger picture!

May you have ease of being in 2016.
