The Nativity by the Danish Artist Carl Heindrich Bloch (1834-1890).
As we near the gateway to these year-end Holy Days, I’m wishing you a magical and wondrous Solstice, Christmas, and holy days passage, however you celebrate them.
Remember, too: We’ve got a Christmas Day Full Moon adding both illumination and energetic-psychic voltage, so may we all go gently, easily tend (and manage to keep) our center, and be filled with the greater joy and blessing of this time of the year.
And just in case you need some ‘on the fly’restoration and handy tips for keeping your center amidst the whirl and swirl?
Jamie is an inspiration partner and lantern-holder for her fellow transformation leaders, change catalysts, and creative nonconformists who are living, inspiring, and (intentionally or not) leading the way in these chaotic times.
When she's not tending and stirring the Sophia's Children cauldron, she's following research trails, and serving as the Director of a Repro-Justice-oriented women's health center in her community, emphasizing in-person compassionate care.
Jamie is a long-time servant of the Muse, a writer and author, an intrepid walker and feline-tender, and is passionate about the current power and relevance of reclaiming ancestral-wisdom and tending to genea-line-healing. She has great appreciation for dark chocolate and cooking other nourishing, delicious meals -- often plant-based -- to nourish her partner and her peeps.

Ahhh, beautiful! I didn’t know that, and am very glad I do now. Blessed be his name! How is the birth day observed and celebrated in your tradition? A happy Holy Season to you.
Because the Islamic calender is lunar, the day moves backwards about 10 days every year. The exact date is disputed, though the variations are relatively minor.
Not all Muslims celebrate it. The Sufi tradition will have chanting (zikr), music, poetry and things of that ilk. It is also a very common practice to tell stories of the Prophet’s life (as).

Blessings to you.
This year 23rd December also marks the Birthday of the Prophet Muhammad (as). It’s important to note such things, I think.
