What's New at Ladyhawk's Treasures?
Blessings of the Winter Solstice to all! The past week here in the Eastern United States has been a very chilly one. We even had a light dusting of snow. The cold forces us to bundle up, so we all look like cuddly little bears with rosy cheeks and Rudolph noses. How can we help but smile at each other! The first few snowfalls that we see always seem to be somewhat magickal. We stare up into the sky watching the featherlike white crystals silently fall to the ground forming a pristine white blanket across the lawn. What could be more enchanting? How about some of our newest products! All arriving just in time for the holidays! Check out our handsome new sterling silver pendants designed by renowned artist Maxine Miller. You can find these in the "Pagan Jewelry" section of our shop. The intricate designs and quality workmanship are impeccable! Visit our website to view all of our beautiful new jewelry selections.

Yuletide Blessings!
 Yule! What is it and where did it begin? As far as historians can theorize, the root word for Yule comes to us from aboriginal Scandinavians and has always simply meant “the festival at the Winter Solstice”. For northern ancient cultures, winter was cold and dark, the darkness being associated with many possible evils. During winter months, ancient Scandinavians only experienced daylight for about six hours each day. It’s not hard to imagine their elation as the wheel of the year turned towards Yule. The Winter Solstice at Yule promised the return of the light and warmth. Hence it was a time for giving thanks and celebrating with friends and family.
Evergreens were cherished during these winter months as they represented a natural symbol of rebirth and life amidst the white snow covered landscape. Holly was often used to decorate hearths, doorways, and windows. Its prickly leaves were thought to ward off or capture any evil spirits before they could enter the household.
What about Mistletoe you may ask? Where did all that kissing first begin? There is a story in Norse mythology about Frigga, Mother Goddess of love and beauty (and wife of Odin) who thought that she had done everything magickally possible to protect her son Baldr from harm. The loophole in her magick was mistletoe. Loki sent a fatal mistletoe arrow through Baldr’s heart. Frigga’s tears of grief became the mistletoe’s white berries. By some miracle Baldr’s life is later restored. His mother is so happy that she makes the mistletoe a symbol of love, promising to bestow a kiss to anyone passing under it. Do you have your mistletoe up yet?
