Deer Mother - Female Reindeer - Spirit of Winter Solstice

Long before Santa charioted his flying steeds across our mythical skies, it was the female reindeer who drew the sleigh of the Sun Goddess at Winter Solstice. So as we gather this holiday season why not tell the story of the ancient Deer Mother of old. Tune in to hear Her story and she's associated with female shaman and the Amanita Muscaria mushroom.
