The Celtic-British prophet Myrddin Wyllt (Merlin the Wild) practiced oneiromancy - prophetic dreams. He dreamed of many events, especially the fate of his own people under the Anglo-Saxon conquest. Myrddin later recounted these visions to both his sister and to a wild piglet.

January 12th marks the Day of Arianrhod—goddess of rebirth, stars, sovereignty, and the ever-turning year. She is change embodied: the shedding of what was, the quiet becoming of what will be.

May this day offer space to honour where you’ve been, and where you’re being called next. 💙
