Traditionally, winter begins mid-point btwn Autumn Equinox/Winter Solstice so we're right on schedule! #AutumnSpirits like #LapuMate (#Latvian Leaf Mother) have given way to #WinterSpirits like #SniegaMate (Snow Mother) and the #TimeOfSpirits- as with #Samhain and #AllHallows, the time when the barrier between living and dead thins, draws to a close. #animist #pagan #heathen
