As the darker, colder days draw near, let’s explore the spirit of winter. The Winter Maker is the spirit that brings winter and is represented in the night sky beginning in December.

Today, we'll talk about what the spirit of winter reveals to us, as well as the spiritual significance of winter to me personally.
