In Celtic spirituality, the hearth is a symbol of warmth, nourishment, and protection. It’s the heart of the home, the place where stories are shared, and food is made with love. This week, let’s focus on creating and carrying a sacred hearth within ourselves—a space of grounding and peace that we can return to no matter what is happening around us.

Trust that, I’m not encouraging us to be silent in the face of animosity, racism, or homophobia, transphobia, etc. I’m simply offering a reminder that the hearth within is a place to turn to when the hatred of the world around us becomes too much.

And, in turn, the light from that hearth shows in the love and acceptance that you bring to your daily life and those around you who truly see you for the blessing you are.

Practice

Here’s a simple grounding meditation to help you carry your inner hearth with you.
