The Frost Time is akin to the setting sun and the season of autumn where leaves fall from the trees and  where Nature begins a period of transformation and regeneration.  Frost is a reminder that winter represents the end, but when warmed is renewed overnight.  During this transformational cycle great ideas and enthusiasm are ever present.  It is important to keep emotions warm so that energy can flow freely.

The Ancients considered this time to be the pivotal point of the entire yearly cycle.  Seen as a “twilight” period between the visible and invisible worlds of reality. A time when both physical and spiritual become closer together. It was also a time where the emotional closeness can me felt  more keenly.

This cycle brings power and strength and is a time to be introspective about life and work on emotional endurance. Its a good time to be mindful of excesses and to keep fun time in balance.  Don’t take life to seriously!  This is a mystical time and if you work with its essence it can lead us to find our deepest desires, seek change and let go of what is no longer useful.

The essence of this cycle can be best described as a time where you may experience being: ambitious, impulsive, intense, determined, sensuous and mysterious.

The Frost Time: can be a time to let go of the old and unnecessary things in our lives. Be true to ourselves and work with the emotional self.  We need to be willing to trust the invisible workings of Nature and the Universe which can bring about a better life-experience.  Enjoy the warmth of friendships and become pioneers once again during our precious earth walk.

The awesome power received through the study of the Native American Medicine Wheel has once again paved the way to a greater understanding of “who we are” and “why we are here”.

I wish you well in all your personal journeys!
