Got Kola (Centella asiatica) is a gem for hair growth. It soothes the scalp, aids in strengthening the hair follicle, and stimulates new growth. Blended with Rosemary, these oils give promise for hair health!

Mother’s Night is the sacred hush before Yule, the deep, still night where ancestral memory breathes and the feminine current hums beneath everything. It is a night to honor the Mothers: the women of our bloodlines, the matriarchs, the ancestors, the spirits who guarded the home, shaped our paths, and carried us when we couldn’t carry ourselves.

This is a night of turning inward. The dark has reached its fullest depth, and the world pauses before the light begins its slow return. Mother’s Night is not loud or festive,it is quiet, heavy, and holy. A night for remembrance, for sitting with what was, and for honoring what has held us through the year.

Candles are lit softly. Offerings are given with intention. Prayers are whispered, not demanded. We speak to those who came before us, especially the women whose labor, love, grief, and resilience laid the ground we now stand on.

Mother’s Night is the womb-space of the year. The pause between endings and beginnings. Nothing needs to be decided yet. Intentions are still forming, resting in the dark, waiting for their time to be born. Grief and gratitude sit side by side here, and both are welcome.

On the final night before Yule’s rebirth, we are reminded that light comes from darkness, strength comes from lineage, and transformation begins in stillness. Honor where you come from. Trust what is quietly growing within you.

The days will slowly begin to get longer and the nights shorter as we march toward spring. No special events or extended hours are planned at Serpent Mound State Memorial during Winter Solstice. Regular winter hours are in effect. The mound will be open Sunday, Dec 21, from 12pm (noon) to 4pm.

Brush piles also attract beetles and ants that enrich soil and feed birds, turning a simple stack of branches into a small winter engine for local biodiversity.

These hidden food webs help wildlife rebound the moment spring arrives.

Thyme is an amazing plant. Used in the kitchen as a culinary herb, but thyme is also healing. Thymus vulgaris is loaded with antimicrobial properties that aid in congestion relief. Thyme also has the ability to lift the mind. I keep a piece of thyme in a ring to elevate my spirits when the day is long and hard.
