While the image below is somewhat true, here's the rest of the story....

Gingerbread itself is ancient — long before Christianity — and spiced cakes shaped like humans or animals were used in pre-Christian European folk rituals.
Many pagan cultures baked “figured breads” or “winter biscuits” shaped like people during solstice festivals to:

*honor ancestral spirits

*embody deities or protective figures

*offer symbolic “sacrifice” without harming animals

*celebrate the turning of the year

So the concept of edible human-shaped ritual cookies definitely predates Christianity.

The actual gingerbread man as we know him (hard cookie, decorated, men-shaped) seems to have roots in 16th-century Europe, especially in:

*Germany (Lebkuchen men sold at winter markets)

*England (Queen Elizabeth I famously served gingerbread men decorated as her courtiers)

These later Christian-era gingerbread traditions absorbed older pagan/folk customs around solstice celebrations, ancestor offerings, and protective charms.

🌿 So the truth is:

Gingerbread men didn’t officially originate from paganism, but the idea of baking human-shaped ritual cookies did — and gingerbread men are an evolution of that older folk magic.

Rewilding the Story of Santa 🌲✨

Before Santa became a mascot for shopping season, he was something very different.

He was the winter shaman — the one who traveled between worlds, brought back healing, blessings, and wisdom, and reminded the community of their connection to nature and the ancestors. His “gifts” were soul gifts: guidance, joy, protection, abundance.

Over time, the sacred roots of this figure were stripped away, reshaped by empire and commercialism. But the old symbols still speak if we listen.

The evergreen tree we bring inside each winter was once honored as the Tree of Life — a reminder of endurance, protection, and the eternal cycles of nature.
The ornaments were ancestral offerings.
The light was the promise of returning sun.
The green man / winter father archetype carried wisdom from the old world about reciprocity, generosity, and living in right relationship with the land.

Somewhere along the way, we cut down the tree but forgot the meaning.

Yet the ritual survived because the sacred can’t be fully erased.

Now, in a time of ecological unraveling, we have a chance to rewild our traditions:

🌲 Choose a living tree or sapling.
🌱 Learn its story.
🕯️ Make the season about connection, not consumption.
🌍 Plant it in the new year as an offering to the Earth and the next generation.
🧡 Tell the old stories again — stories of nature as alive, conscious, and in relationship with us.

Rewilding isn’t about recreating the past.
It’s about remembering what we are:
a species in a living, breathing world that needs our care as much as we need its wisdom.

May this season be a return to meaning, reciprocity, and reverence.

Rewild your traditions.
Rewild your winter.

What fun to include this lovely tradition in your family 🔔

“Long ago, when the nights were deepest and the frost lay thick upon the hills, the people knew that winter held both power and peril. The sun, weary and low, seemed to linger beyond the horizon, and shadows stretched long across forests and fields. In those cold months, it was not only warmth that was sought—it was light, protection, and the promise of life returning.

So the villagers rang bells.

Not merely to mark time, but to speak to the world itself. The bells’ clear, bright voices rolled across the land, shaking the frost from trees, stirring hidden streams beneath the ice, and whispering to the spirits of the dark months. Some said the ringing reached the halls of the old gods; others believed it woke the earth itself from slumber, calling the sun to rise again.

In the Celtic glens, bells were rung to chase away wandering shadows, restless spirits, and lingering misfortune. In the high Nordic valleys, families would circle their homes with the sound, imagining each chime melting the winter’s chill and stirring the seeds sleeping beneath frozen soil. Even as the old ways gave way to new faiths, the sound of bells remained, folded into Christmas rituals: a bridge between the unseen and the known, the old light and the new.

And so it is said: those who ring bells during the season of Yule do more than make music—they call in warmth and life, they clear space for joy, they honor the turning of the year. The smallest bell can echo like a sunbeam across the longest night; the smallest chime can awaken hope in hearts grown weary.

Across the Yule season, step outside whenever you feel called. Feel the hush that lies over the land. Take a bell in your hand. Let it ring once. Twice. Listen as the tone carries across your home, across your fields, across the frost. Imagine it stirring the hidden life beneath the snow, calling the sun to rise just a little higher, promising that darkness is never endless.

For as the old villagers knew, the sound of a bell is more than sound. It is protection, blessing, and the song of returning light. And in that song, the world remembers that even in the coldest, darkest season, life stirs, and the sun will come again.”

Our Story

Years ago after realizing the effects of toxic food on my children I thought all that was needed for health was good food. I’m Blessed, my training didn’t stop there! The truth is EVERYTHING is energy. As cliche as that may sound, it is the TRUTH. The food, thoughts, emotions, information we take in intentionally or on purpose, relationships with people & Nature, ways we move our bodies, the activities that light us up from within, how we breathe, the toxins we absorb in the water, food, air - ALL OF IT and MORE effect us on mind, body and soul level. Our happiness is linked to our physical health and the opposite is also true. We CAN make a difference in our lives by either what we add to it or what we remove from it. This page exists to offer insight, tips, techniques, products and programs to support you on your healthy, happy journey. I pull from my trainings in Yoga & Meditation, Various forms of Energy Medicine, Holistic heath counseling, Bio-Individual Nutrition and Intuitive Guidance from Nature and the Cosmos.
