No matter what winter holiday you celebrate or how you do so, take a few minutes today to consider the magic of the season. For many cultures, this is a time to hold the light through the longest night of the year. How will you come through the darkest season? Perhaps someone you know needs a little of that magic and YOU can be the fairy, bringing light to others in need.
Blessings and have a lovely weekend!

The Christmas Fairy
Bringing magic to people who need it at the holidays
In this card, we have a live fairy atop the tree, winding its magic to light up the tree and inspire awe. Even the ball ornaments have become personified and are smiling. And while for some it is an angel who delivers holiday magic, for others of us it is the Far and the Spirits of Nature. While some might think I’m stretching things to align a fairy for the top of a tree instead of an angel, consider some of the lore for fairies – that they were fallen angels who weren’t bad enough to be sent to hell with Lucifer. And ever notice how some folks refer to Christmas lights also as fairy lights?
