Pagan Community Notes: Week of December 25, 2025

In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, we celebrate Cherry Hill graduates and honorees, as discussions of Sol Invictus and Yuletide traditions make their expected appearance in mainstream media. We are also saddened to share that Faelind has crossed the Veil into the arms of the Goddess. As always, Star offers her Tarot of the Week, and Moon the cat channels Bastet on solstice morning at Stonehenge.

“This is the solstice’s quiet gift,” writes Erick DuPree. “Its power isn’t in revelation, but in the small, stubborn persistence of light. The sun returns not with fanfare, but with a flicker — a single flame that dares to whisper not yet done.”
