Ho ho horror ...
As the nights draw in and the turn of the year looms we may seek the comfort of a cosy fireside and a warming drink and think of the approach of Father Christmas ... but hark ... what is that noise outside, could it be Santa Claus? ... or could it be something entirely different ... something stranger ... more sinister ... hiding in dark and magical days.

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
