So amidst the chaos of all the last minute prepping for Friday taking place; try to take a little time today to celebrate the day that our oldies understood the importance of acknowledging – knowing that each year, this cycle of birth, death and rebirth took place; and that after every period of cold and darkness, the sun does indeed return.
Have a lovely, wintry day, and a happy winter solstice....Yule......festive holiday whatever that brings for you and yours.
"Yule, is when the dark half of the year relinquishes to the light half. Starting the next morning at sunrise, the sun climbs just a little higher and stays a little longer in the sky each day. Known as Solstice Night, or the longest night of the year, much celebration was to be had as the ancestors awaited the rebirth of the Oak King, the Sun King, the Giver of Life that warmed the frozen Earth and made her to bear forth from seeds protected through the fall and winter in her womb. Bonfires were lit in the fields, and crops and trees were "wassailed" with toasts of spiced cider."
Whatever you are doing.....have a wonderful time my lovelies.....xxx
