I love this Caitlín. Thank you. I too will be marking Catterntide today and, beautifully, this year it follows straight on from Stir Up Sunday and the making of Christmas pudding. On with the winter baking! And thank you for sharing Hypatia too. She is a woman who is definitely worth remembering. Blessings for your deep winter journey.

Thank you, Jacqueline. Catterntide is upon us indeed, the first station that leads to Midwinter!

Just so! I also love to mark Martinmas as a gateway of winter, and this year we have also explored Winterfylleth, which felt deeply meaningful, but Catterntide certainly marks deeper turning, which is why we need cake!
