Communities and the Fire Circle

A very ancient event that is still important today.

BBC Radio 4 is broadcasting this week a series of programmes under the title of ‘An Almanac for Anxiety: In Search of a Calmer Mind’. The first episode was Fire.

The history of fire circles spans ancient human gathering traditions, modern pagan rituals, and even fire performance art, evolving from basic survival and community building around fire to intentional spiritual circles for healing, transformation, or entertainment, with practices rooted in ancient fire veneration and a recent resurgence of shamanic/Pagan practices in Western culture, notes 4qf.org and Patheos.

The above was copied, in part, from a Google ‘AI’ article.

The Supermoon.

Last Thursday night we had a supermoon in Southern Oregon. That got me thinking of whether people had taken photos of the moon even if they were not the supermoon of December, 2025.

The photos are from Unsplash.

Such a wonderful moon and, again, many thanks to Unsplash.

The 2025 Harvest Moon so called because it is the first full moon after the Autumn Equinox.
