The Kit Tan who is Six doesn’t know this yet, Honorable Shamans and Fellow Pagans everywhere, but one day this week it will be “Next Year.”
Kit Tan wakes up from her nap, stretches first the front and then the back, checks out her food dish, and then joins me out on the Lanai. I sip my coffee and read Facebook posts. We listen to the birds. Kit Tan’s days are spent playing with my family members, napping, stretching , eating, grooming, and checking out the culverts outside. Every day merges into the next one when you are a cat. You are sentient and connected and aware of the world in a vastly different reality from the humans in the planet. It’s an alternative reality.
This week, the Christmas Tree Tent has changed into the Fireworks Tent.
This week, the TV and other media are carrying out the Year in Review. Top stories — who really cares the color of that damned dress — are paraded about 24/7. If “Real News” happens, we won’t hear about it until next week.
Meanwhile, there are all the helpful stories about New Years Resolutions and how to start the New Year off right: Lose weight, eat right, get exercise! Become more enlightened! Volunteer at the local charitable organization of your choice. Be more creative! Work on your relationships. Dump relationships or jobs that aren’t right for you. I believe it is good for us, to set goals and to make plans.
I know a whole bunch of Pagans who celebrate October 31 — Samhain — as their New Year, but who also celebrate the New Year this week.
January 1, is the start of the New Year, according to the Gregorian Calendar. All of that is made up and has no relationship whatsoever, to the Earth’s cycles.
When does the New Year start, for Our Earth?
When does the New Year start for you?
Does it start on Samhain?
Does it start tonight?
Does it start on your Birthday?
Or some other date?
Share Your Peace with Our Earth.

Although the Earthways Shamanic Path is based in Florida, it can be celebrated anywhere. You just need to explore the magic of your land. What is it saying to you? What are the seasons, where you live? What do they mean to you? How are they celebrated?
