WINTER SOLSTICE | Return of the Light

WINTER SOLSTICE | Return of the Light
Throughout the ages our ancestors celebrated the return of the Sun around the Winter Solstice. All around the northern hemisphere-Midwinter is the shortest day of the year and the longest night. It is a time to honor the power of darkness and celebrate the Divine mother - the sacred womb of creation, who gives birth once again to the Sun. It is also, "a chance to still ourselves inside, to behold the glory of the cosmos, and to take a breath with the Sacred," as author T. Thorn Coyle writes. ~ Photo By Tim Ireland/PA
