Symbol of the month: Mother Goddesses

The Winter Goddesses of both the Slavic and Celtic traditions symbolize the life cycles of nature: the death of the old year, the rest and stillness of the Earth, and the rebirth that is assured with the return of spring. These deities are not merely figures of destruction or decay but of necessary transformation. They maintain the cosmic balance by ensuring that the cycles of life, death, and rebirth continue, holding magical power to both preserve and purify. Whether through the fierce, chilling winds or the protective nurturing, these deities remind us of the constant cycles of life in which destruction leads to creation.
