Journey to the lodg altar room to take part in the winter feast and to receive a gift to support me through the winter and leave something for someone else
Many years ago a seidr ceremony asked how members of a shamanic group could keep connected. One of the answers was to hold Winter Feasts. Since that time there have been annual winter feasts in different shamanic groups. Before lockdown we used to meet in person and everyone brought food to share so it was an actual feast. Since lockdown it happens online and it is a time for celebrating the group, each other and the spirits. 🙏🏼
The lodg altar room is a place in the spirit world we all journey to. In the spirit of the season giving and receiving is encouraged when there, as well as enjoying the party.🎈 It has to be said the experiences of the virtual winter feasts in the lodg altar room are sometimes a bit more raucous than they ever were in person 😊 😅
