Winter Solstice: Journey With Me Into the Dark

Solstice, Yule: the longest night and shortest day. We have entered into the darkness, but just as it grows to its greatest extent, the light is reborn. This is a time to celebrate all that warms us and gives us hope. There is much reason to hope and celebrate, as well as so many reasons to feel anguish and pain. These are times of extremes—drought and flood, hopeful elections and devastating fires, inhuman acts of brutality and courageous stands for compassion and justice.

Solstice reminds us that the greatest darkness contains the seed of light—as, on the opposite pole of the year, the triumph of light begins the descent toward the dark.

The world is dynamic, not static; the wheel is ever-turning.

Many years ago I wrote a book called Dreaming the Dark, speaking of the need to challenge our cultural frame of darkness/light being equivalent to good/evil, and instead to embrace the dark, the womb, the night, the embodied, the gestational possibility, the mystery.

A Ritual Journey to Light The Way

In our live, online Solstice ritual, we will journey into the dark, the womb of Mother Night, to find the spark of possibility that can light our Yule fire.We consider how to breathe it into life, and how to bank the ashes and preserve the coals.
