Silver Deer Dreams – an A4 print by Joanne Foucher

The Winter Solstice is the time of the ancient Deer Mother. She walks the land in the silent nights – sometimes she is seen flying through the air – bringing that mysterious bit of magic that happens deep in the night, almost unnoticed by us, but so tremendous in its effect, which tips the scales and shifts the energy, so that the days start getting longer again. She is keeper of all midwinter lore, shamanic practices remembered in solstice traditions and practices around the world, praises and winter hymns that became carols and the giving of gifts to celebrate the life that is given to us in the midst of Death.
