The Omen Days

On witnessing the world

Here we are on St Stephen’s day, the first of the Celtic Omen Days.

They take us through to Nollaig na mBan, women’s or little Christmas, on the sixth of January.

These in between days hold deep and ancient meaning for us, and our ancestors gave themselves over to observing and listening fully at this special, liminal time.

By tradition, each of these twelve days represents a month of the year.

Today is January, tomorrow is February and so on — for the coming year.

The idea is to look and listen for signs, symbols and messages—for you and your life but— more importantly of all with the time we are in just now—that speak collectively to us as all on this our planetary home
