Seasonal Ceremonies
Winter Solstice
Winter is a time for withdrawal from the world and it's demands. Thee winter solstice is the shortest day of the year, in the northern hemisphere, when the noon day sun is at its lowest in the Southern sky. The long Winter nights and the cold keep us secure in our homes, and the harvest supplies us with our food. It is a time of reflection on the events of the previous three seasons as well as the meaning of life and the cycle of the seasons themselves..
