Well, it has been a white Christmas here where I live by the sea on Lancashire’s usually mild, if sometimes windy Fylde coast. It did not strictly count as white, for anyone who might have placed a bet on it, as no new snow fell, but it looked white all right.
Il Matrimonio, the husband, asked me, thinking of prospects for inter-familial travel, did I see a thaw coming by today, Monday?
I performed a single card reading and drew THE KNIGHT OF WANDS.
The Knight of Wands From The Thoth Tarot: Alesteir Crowley/Frieda Harris c. U.S. Games Systems.
The associations for this card are: speed, change, sudden arrivals and departures, warmth, the south, sultriness.
The Tarot was therefore indicating a thaw that would arrive on or by Monday, which is today.
And here it is, a relenting of the icy grip. Icicles falling off the roof, meltwater rushing out of the drains, a metre wide ribbon of water standing on the road. Drip drip. Plip plip.
A little respite for the birds who are having a tough time of it.
A thaw, yes. Sultry…well, I wouldn’t go so far as to call it that, but technically, yes, in the sense that the melt is due to warm air coming to us from the south, from the continent.
Keep warm this winter, may you successfully fend off all sniffles.

Hi Katie-Ellen!
Thanks for the tip on oregano oil usage! I’m growing oregano in my home garden (and have tons of it!) so now I have some other uses to keep in mind 🙂
Happy Journey,
Nikki
