It’s a time where winter is modeling sacred rest, stillness, reflection, and resilience.Because of the discrepancy between the lunar calendar (354 days) and the solar calendar (365.25 days), lunar-based cultures consider these "extra 12 days" to be mythic time, time outside of time, where the ordinary rules of life are suspended and the veil between worlds is thin.Did you know?
