Before we reach Tu B’Shevat, we have Shabbat Shirah -- Shabbat of Song — which is chock full of delicious practices.

What ideas do you have about honoring Shabbat Shirah?

my girlfriend, the amazing @comicsbyxan, got this book for me!!!

Jewish Magic and Superstition by Joshua Trachtenberg, first published in 1939, discusses Jewish folk practices of the eleventh through the sixteenth centuries. I'm SO EXCITED to read this!

Working a new golem pattern with moveable arms and legs!

I could just use the glitter golem pattern, but thought I’d try something different.

These arms turned out a bit huge for the body, so they are just hanging out while I finish Babka and a few others. then I’ll get back to this one.

I call Tevet, "the moon of clarity" because it is a month to seek clarity on our path; even though the days are still short and the nights are long and dark.

Each month of the Jewish year is packed with rich correspondences for sacred arts and spiritual alignment/growth that lend themselves towards an energetic naming of the moon energy.

Start the secular year off with a mussar practice session focused on the soul trait of sakranut (סקרנות) curiosity.

Tevet Soul Trait Studio:
Sunday: 11/27/2022
3-4:30pm ET

Learn more & register: devotaj.com/soultraitstudio

In Tevet we will be working with the soul trait of sakranut (סקרנות) curiosity that also corresponds with the Doreshet - the seeker.

There is no cost to attend Soul Trait Studio, but registration is required.

Light the 8th candle tonight (12/25/2022)

“On the seventh day G!d/dess rested. . . .”

But on Chanukah, the miracle lasted for eight days.

It lasted longer than creating the universe and all its inhabitants?

Does humanity really need such a reminder of the ongoing work of creation?

Shavua Tov!

Light 7th candle tonight (12/24/2022)

The seven is one of the most magickal numbers.

Across many cultures 7 represents:
completeness
macrocosm
perfection
plenty
reintegration
rest
security
safety
synthesis

The 7th night of Hanukkah is also Chag HaBanot, Festival of the Daughters, in North African Jewish tradition.

It is also the night of Judith's victory over Holfernes, so celebrate with a little wine and cheese.

Light the 6th candle tonight (12/23/2022)

Light your menorah - then light your Shabbat candles.

Six is balance & harmony.

The Star of David has six points and the menorah in the Temple had 6 branches. There are six days of creation before we rest and six directions.


Creation
Balance
Harmony
Harmony
Balance
Creation

I love how many more people know about the Jewish teachings around the solstice & equinox, and the connections between Hanukkah & the winter solstice.

But in case it’s new to you: devotaj.com/cosmic-reference-l

Battle Cat our 6 year old office manager decided it was break time. He needed chin scratches and snuggles. This handsome boy is very chill and when he wants attention you have to give it.

Back to work. Website is coming along, it is just a slow process.

The clean and purge that was supposed to happen a couple of weeks ago.

I should have taken before photos but this is where we are so far. Still not sure if the big tree will fit but I do have an idea of where to put the little one and some more lights.

I am done for today except for cooking dinner.

Light, Love, and Peace
