The Light and the Dark

Celebrating the Winter Solstice

Tomorrow, Saturday is the Winter Solstice. I like to celebrate this seasonal event with friends and family and usually we have a bonfire and some food together and reflect on the sympathetic magic of the bonfire and the returning sun. Often times it is raining or too windy for a bonfire and so we make do with candles. We are still getting together though, to bask in the warmth and illumination of the returning Light, the strengthening and renewal of the Sun, so it is a lovely event for us with or without a bonfire.
