I think it would be lovely to see a list of all of them in one of your “Back to Basics” posts!

The 12th of december is the Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the day she made an appearance before a humble mexican and imprinted her image on his “huipil” (something like a vest). This image hangs on Mexico City’s Basilica. Anyway, this is the same day our esotheric friends celebrated the coming to Earth of the Marian Angel. An angel that comes with a special energy to our planet and takes our best intentions with “her”. So you were to write a letter giving thanks for things you accomplished during the year and you felt proud of, and write things you would like to accomplish during the coming year…no requests for toys or anything like that…things like imrpoving yourself, learning something new, maybe a specific trip, etc. Then you will have a small prayer/meditation and burn the letter with the fire of a candle set aside for this day, and blow the ashes outside. I loved it, have very good memories and will try to do this with my kids when they get a little bit older.

Last year I started writing a blog with a post at each new moon and full moon as well as each quarter and cross quarter day. The quarter and cross quarter days correspond almost exactly with some of the main Waldorf/Steiner festivals. The Solstices align with Christmas (and associated celebrations) and St. John’s Day/Midsummer while the Equinoxes are Easter and Michaelmas. The quarter days are Candlemas, May Day, Halloween and August 1st (not sure what the Waldorfy festival is there.. is there one?) It’s really really fascinating to read Steiners work on the festivals and see how they intersect, enrich and illuminate these ancient archetypical points in the wheel.

Here’s the link to my Advent post from last winter, but you might find interesting thoughts and resources throughout. Enjoy!

I love celebrating festivals and special days with my family (we are Catholic so many of our special days follow the feast days of the liturgical year). I just posted on my own blog yesterday about our St. Nicholas Day! And I can’t wait til my girls are old enough to serve breakfast to us on St. Lucia Day! I think we may try making this recipe this year: http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/special/feature/famf1202_feat_braided/
