The Winter Solstice (Northern Hemisphere's longest night of the year)
and the nights surrounding it, is a hinge time when we can sense the
doors between worlds. In these nights, we can feel the mystery if we
stop for a minute, or walk at dusk in a forest. As the energy of the
earth's axis shifts, there is a sense of possibility.
If we listen beyond daily concerns, our connection to the natural world becomes palpable, and with it -- deep understanding. The wise do not ignore or underestimate this.
The Solstice has been significant to nearly every civilization throughout history. It has occurred on our planet for billions of years. Light a bonfire, or a candle. This is a time to plant seeds, preparing for deep winter and rebirth.
