The pagan new year devotional is a traditional ceremony and celebration observed by many pagan and earth-based spiritual traditions. It is a time to honor and give thanks for the passing year, as well as to welcome the coming year with intention and purpose. During the pagan new year devotional, practitioners gather together in a sacred space, often outdoors or in a specially designated area, to connect with the natural world and the cycles of life. This ceremony is typically held at the winter solstice, which marks the longest night of the year and the return of the sun. The main purpose of the pagan new year devotional is to reflect on the past year and express gratitude for the blessings and lessons received. It is a time to acknowledge and release any lingering negativity or unresolved emotions from the past year, and to set intentions for the coming year.

Thermal cooking with the Tiger “magic pot”
A couple weeks ago, I finally bought a thermal cooking pot. It’s been on my radar for a long time, and I finally splurged. The basic idea is that it’s a pot-in-a-Thermos. You put your ingredients in the inner pot and bring it to a boil on the stove, then put that pot into the insulated outer pot, close the lid, and the food cooks using the retained heat. It’s sort of like a countertop version of haybox cooking, and the idea is to save energy and keep from heating up your kitchen when cooking.
I’ve learned that this gizmo has definite strong and weak points. I’m honestly not sure I’d recommend buying one; they are pretty pricey and it doesn’t do everything I’d hoped it would. Still, it works really well for some things, and I can’t stop experimenting! I thought I’d post the results of my experiments to date, so if you’re considering getting one, you can make a really informed decision. Details after the cut:
The pagan new year devotional is a deeply spiritual and personal experience, and each practitioner may approach it in their own unique way. It is a time of renewal and rebirth, a moment to connect with the forces of nature and the divine, and to set intentions for personal growth and spiritual development. In bold: The pagan new year devotional is a traditional ceremony and celebration observed by many pagan and earth-based spiritual traditions..
