New video (short walk observing nature at this season) for Cross-quarter Day between Autumn Equinox + Winter Solstice: origin of observances such as Halloween, Samhain, Day of the Dead, Diwali etc. The Latvian name is Mārtiņi or Mārtiņdiena -Martin's Day, the modern date a bit conflated with the Christian saint day, but truly much older. This marks the end of Time of Spirits and beginning of Time of Ice. #pagan #Latvian #Alberta #nature

Same video on #Pertube #Spectra smaller file. Celebrating the ancient system of 8 seasons marked by solstices, equinoxes + cross-quarter days between. Vital to the agrarian ordering of the year with specific tasks slated for each date, for me these seasons are more about observing nature and the natural rhythms of the seasons + times for reflection and remembrance. In this one I think about Mārtiņš an ancient god whose true name has been lost. #Latvian #pagan #Canada
