Winter Solstice

Ah, Winter with its supporting cast of brooding leaden skies, chilling tendrils of cold reaching into our homes, seeking us out to freeze the warmth from our bodies. In the still of the night, ice splitting and cracking under each footfall. The darkness creeping through keyholes, under doors, surrounding our very souls. Our world slowly silently descending into the embrace of Winter since the flames of summer exploded into autumnal fire.

Time for contemplation, to reconnect with the ancient power of the Druid priests still able to reach down to us through lost forgotten centuries.

Then suddenly in the midst of our slumbering shadow world the Solstice arrives to give us hope. A spark of light to shine and sparkle in the darkness and at last the day begins to slowly claw back the hours the dark night has stolen from her.

The Winter Solstice, a shining hope filled wonderful time of year and one of my favourites.

Happy Solstice
