In order for me to enjoy the holiday pomp and tinsel it often require some time considering and recalling its origins. After a little poking around I found some symbols of the season that spoke to me and incorporated them into this composition: the Green Man (overall image), triqueta (eyes and forehead), and Awen (beard). These symbols have taken on many meanings through the millennia but they appear to mostly revolve around the magic of the solstice— the enchanting time of year when light again prevails over darkness illuminating a path toward new life and opportunity. Whatever your meaning for this holiday season is I wish you peace. #awenadayswork
