The energy of Winter greeted us with the Fall Equinox and is back for round two. coming back as a reminder, urging us as if to say, "You didn't hear me the first time, so I return..."

I, for one, can relate. The energy of Winter is all about the return to the self. The return to our hearts to listen to what we need. The return to self care.

When this card arrived in September, I internalized it but I didn't put it into action. We're being called to really settle in to the energy of the Winter season - the long nights, the quiet of the darkness, and the rest that accompanies the energy of hibernation.

Featuring a wolf - one of the few pack animals who works all Winter long, this card is also a reminder that a break isn't detrimental to our needs; rather, sometimes a break is all that is needed. Even if hibernation for the long Winter months isn't accessible, a short break always is. Find the space, find the time, and return renewed.

Now, to go take a dose of my own medicine... :)
