Tonight the young lady whom I have had the privilege of helping raise returned home from college for a holiday visit. Suddenly the house is a home again. This manifestation of the Goddess in her maiden form returns great energy to our home. Inside, my entire body smiles with a mix of Joy, Curiosity, Love and even Pride.

These feelings remind me of the blessings I enjoy in my life. Even more, I am reminded that much of the Magik in life flows not from my personal practice but my ability as a Witch to see the Divine all around me. Overwhelmed with these emotions, insights into the true “Reason for the Season”, wash over me.

The Internet is filled with debate on the Pagan vs. Christian origins of the holiday season. Yet, with the arrival of this very special person I am reminded that the real reason is the Magik that is family, loved ones and fond memories. From a very early age it was the gathering of those close to my family that created the real Magik. Yes, as a child I went to church on Christmas and as an adult I embrace and celebrate the Solstice. Still, the warm embrace of loved ones has no equal in this season or any other.

So my friends, this season I wish you the true love of family and friends. The real “Reason for the Season”

Blessed Be
