Receive a Blessing

Ah, there you are.Welcome to Rowanthwaite,
Are you joining us for the full Winter tour?
You are in luck as today is the first day of our yearly Winter Advent Extravaganza.Where our houses are open to all, and we have minced pies, carol singing, we light the Christmas tree lights and so much more!The tour begins on the half-hour… so you’re just in time.

You are? Wonderful.You may stop at any of our little houses along the spiral pathway.Nothing is rushed here.
Everything circles back to The Heart of All Paths
the Rowan Tree and the Wishing Well.
Here, take this lit lantern,
it gets dark terribly early in Winter.
Pop this scarf and hat on as well, and here’s a small flask of hot tea for your Advent wandering.
When you reach The Lady’s Tree,
our Sacred Rowan who lends her name to the village,
do pause a moment.
You may hug her if you like, or sit beneath her at the well.
If you toss a coin in, make a wish,
miracles are rather commonplace at Rowanthwaite.
Right then, you’re all set.Through that little door…mind the step, it’s a touch snowy today.
Yes, that’s it, follow the spiral pathway, and may you be richly blessed on your Winter visit.
Before you go,
do take a free Advent Winter gift home with you.
Pop your name in the box below and your first gift will arrive shortly.There are more dotted around the village, so keep your eyes peeled.And don’t forget to wander into our shopsThe Soul Bookshop and The Little Blessing Housethey’re full of lovely things for Winter hearts.Oh, and if you feel called, you may step quietly into our Chapel and light a candle before you continue.Off you go, then.
Don’t forget your free gift…
