The Earth Tide that flows at Samhain hardens to a standstill, bringing the time of Death when nothing moves. It is time of resignation, when we understand and learn to live with what we cannot change. At that time, a Witch feels the limits of her power. At the Winter Solstice, the Earth Tide ebbs and softens, and the powers of magic return. At this season, it is possible to move and change the hard things--rocks and bones, pain, anger, time. Like cold clay, you can hold the thing in your hand and let your body heat seep into it, working it, working it, continually, even without thinking as your mind moves to other things. Slowly and inevitably it will soften, and begin to yield to your will.
