		<description><![CDATA[For the Pagan Blog Project&#8216;s Imbolc prompt: Imbolc was one of my favorite Sabbats, back when I was kinda-sorta Wiccan. Although the beginning of February was generally still cold and wintery, it was the point at which I could always see the lengthening of the days, the hint of a shift in the wind, the [...]]]></description>

The Good Sister, the gentle Gray Lady who welcomes and comforts the dead, enfolding them in Her wings, watches from the Unseen World, smiling Her beautiful, tender smile. Today the House of Netjer holds its Weshem-ib [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aset&#8217;s day has been super busy &#8212; a lot of time spent with other people, going out for meals, playing games and doing heka, practicing for the short play that we&#8217;ll be performing on New Year&#8217;s day. It&#8217;s been hard to find the time and focus to write something. It&#8217;s been a good day, though. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The sun rose victorious this morning, burning through the hazy sky on the third of the intercalary days. It&#8217;s the birthday of Set, Lord of Storms, who stands at the prow of the sun barque to slay the Uncreated so that Ra can enter the heavens. It can be a day of chaos, but to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No storms actually came through yesterday, and Heru-wer&#8217;s birthday, the second of the intercalary days, has dawned sunny and bright. And hot, with a forecast of high humidity, but the early morning was nice. One of my personal rituals at Retreat is to go outside for at least a few minutes in the morning and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is the first of the intercalary days, the five Days upon the Year that stand outside the regular calendar, leading up to the New Year&#8217;s celebration of Wep Ronpet. It&#8217;s the birthday of Wesir, Lord of the Dead, the slain God who brings forth the greening of the world. I&#8217;m already in Joliet for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, for the Beautiful Feast of the Valley, a friend and I went to the Willowbrook Arboreteum&#8217;s lilac grove, where we left an offering of cinnamon-almond cookies and cool water for the Akhu, our beloved dead. It was a sublimely gorgeous day of bright sun, cool shade, and everywhere the flowers of May in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The weekend before last, our local group had a get-together in honor of Nut and Geb. It was shortly after Nut&#8217;s birthday and in the general vicinity of Valentine&#8217;s Day, so it seemed appropriate to celebrate this divine couple, whose love and desire for each other were so overwhelming that they had to be separated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, another month-long lapse in posting here. It&#8217;s not that I haven&#8217;t been active; it&#8217;s just settling in to write that&#8217;s been the issue. Which perhaps means I&#8217;ve been a little too active in some ways. In any case, here are a few highlights of what I&#8217;ve been up to. In mid-January, the New York-area [...]]]></description>

Not that there isn&#8217;t a festival on practically every day of the calendar, but at this time of year there&#8217;s a whole constellation of popular celebrations that I generally try to acknowledge. Following the House of Netjer&#8217;s calendar, there&#8217;s the Return of the Wandering Goddess at the solstice, [...]]]></description>
