A weekend full of discoveries and experiences

Since childhood, I’ve always been drawn to things that are hard to explain — the human mind and emotions. Maybe I wasn’t the most encouraged child, so I learned to suppress my curiosity, but once I became an adult woman, I could finally express myself more freely, because now I make my own decisions.

This weekend was incredibly meaningful and rich in experiences. On Saturday, I attended a seminar where we talked about abundance and self-trust. I’m so grateful to have found a life teacher who helps me unfold, understand, and see things differently — even more simply — because the mind sometimes creates such wild scenarios that… oh my. It’s truly good to have someone who sees everything from the outside, because noticing those things on your own can be difficult.

On Sunday, there was a Light Network (“Kalba senolės”) gathering. I’ll admit, at first I wasn’t planning to attend, but when the universe gives you signs that you are meant to be somewhere — you just can’t ignore them. When I was driving to the seminar on Saturday, I had just started the car and turned on the radio when the first sentence I heard was: “The largest spiderweb has been woven.” The program was talking about how different spider species had created the biggest web in the world — 106 square meters! I immediately understood this as a call to join the Light Network (for those who don’t know, you can read more on FB: Šviesos tinklas Kalba senolės). And I was so happy I went. Sharing my light felt so good, and the love energy in the air was incredibly strong — too powerful to describe with words; you simply have to experience it.

After this beautiful gathering, we went to make our own Christmas wreaths. I created mine with such wonderful energy that I couldn’t stop smiling. Pure joy was overflowing. While creating, one of the women lifted her wreath to take a look, and suddenly a thought flashed through my mind: Ohhh, how beautifully everything turns — just like the Wheel of the Year (Rėdos Ratas).

I’ll admit — I’m still learning about ancestral knowledge, I don’t yet know much, and I believe that delving deeper into the Wheel of the Year could reveal even more. It genuinely fascinates me right now. But in that moment, such a strong realization washed over me: everything moves in cycles — exactly as it’s meant to. Such a beautiful flow and harmony. I said aloud that the wreath reminded me of the Wheel of the Year, and asked if she knew what I meant. She said she had heard of it, but wasn’t too familiar either. It made me realize how important it is to explore the wisdom our ancestors left us — they gifted us so much knowledge, and all we need is to take an interest in it. Of course, I believe timing matters too: when you’re ready, the information reaches you naturally — just like it did for me now, through the simple act of weaving Christmas wreaths.

Speaking of the Wheel of the Year — soon we’ll reach its lowest point: Kūčios and Christmas. But Christmas also marks the beginning of hope, because we move from the time of weariness into the time of renewal. On Christmas Eve, the greatest shift happens — we rise upward, toward the light, toward hope. (Source: A. Žarskus, Rėdos knyga. Baltų kalendorinės šventės, Kaunas, 2009.)

So the time is approaching when the darkness will soon begin to retreat, making way for the returning light. In my opinion, the dark time is perfect for turning inward and facing your shadow side. It can help you understand that darkness is not evil, as people sometimes think. You just need to learn to accept it.
