Winter for fire signs like me can be in a word, hell. No pun intended ! Seriously, winter is the cold time. For those of us who are of the Pagan persuasion, or just flat out Witches like yours truly, winter is a time for us to reflect and pause. Or, if you are me, regenerate. Yes, literally go through a rebirth process. Since I am all Aries, I work primally with fire as my main element. The winter months is when I consume myself and await rebirth in spring. Just like the phoenix that consumes itself in flames and is reborn from the ashes, this is my rebirth period. This is where I go and learn new things, work with my Ancestors, get my altars ship-shape and just enjoy the down time.
I like to be a busy Witch during the winter months even when I am not burning as brightly. The winter is the slow time that we all need to use to branch out. I don’t mind the long cold nights because you can find me reading or working on my BOS. This when I go over my rituals and work them into some thing new.
Regeneration is rebirth. We can’t grow without it. As a Witch I like to grow and learn. That is what winter is for me.

So, wise one, how do you do such rebirth when your brain and emotions are frozen?
