#deep introspection

The year begins in the hush of Imbolc, when the faintest light returns after the long silence of winter. It is not yet spring, but something stirs—roots pressing upward, intentions breaking the surface of the soul. Renewal here is fragile, but it is also defiant. What we choose to tend in this moment, both in soil and in spirit, becomes the shape of our year.

As the light strengthens, it carries us into Ostara, where balance is revealed. Day and night stand equal, and so too do our inner and outer worlds. The seeds planted in darkness begin to show themselves, announcing beginnings that feel both inevitable and miraculous. Ostara is not a destination but a threshold, the moment when potential finally steps into form.

The wheel turns, and the sun reaches its height at Litha. Here, courage is demanded—not the courage of battle, but the courage to hold space for abundance. The beginnings we have nurtured are now protected by strength, and gratitude becomes the shield that sustains them. To stand in midsummer is to recognize fullness, to honor the work that has carried us here, and to let joy be a discipline as much as a gift.

From that fullness, the year leans toward Mabon, where gratitude deepens into discernment. The harvest is gathered, and with it comes the wisdom of balance. We see clearly what has grown, and we learn to release what no longer belongs. Mabon teaches that letting go is not loss but preparation, a way of making space for what is true. It is a time to thank those who walk beside us, and to accept that not all companions are meant to remain.

The lessons of release carry us into Samhain, when endings arrive with solemnity. The veil thins, and we are asked to honor what has passed—ancestors, paths, and versions of ourselves that no longer walk with us. Samhain is the quiet courage of farewell, the recognition that death is part of the cycle, and that in letting go we create room for renewal. It is a time of remembrance, of gratitude for the hands that shaped the way before us.

And then, in the deepest night, comes Yule. Here, the world rests. Darkness is complete, but within it lies the seed of light. Yule is the pause, the breath, the sacred stillness that allows us to recuperate. It is the promise of hope, the assurance that even in silence, life is preparing to return. Introspection here is not heavy—it is fertile, the soil in which new beginnings will root.

The wheel turns again, and we find ourselves back at Imbolc, where the cycle begins anew. Light returns. Life stirs. Renewal waits.

why do i keep finding myself in situations like these

I usually have the practise of stepping out from myself to carefully introspect the journey so far. It is like undressing oneself, to come out of the garb one wears, to relieve oneself from one's own identities and roles because very often when time passes by we humans have the tendency to confuse our names, our roles, our occupations as our primary inner core but that is never the case. Our primal self is almost absolutely detached from everything physical. It is too subtle to be identified to anything. The element in us that sparks life, that breathes spirit into our existence can clearly see through if our steps are faltering or if we are developing the wings to fly. The undying source of life in us is deeply cognizant when the mind gets crooked or becomes straight, when the soul becomes impure or gets cleansed, when the heart falls into darkness or becomes enlightened. It is like a compass is always present that is measuring the directions in which we are heading...
