Guest Charlie Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 This holiday is celebrated annually on the First Day of Winter which falls between December 20-23. This does, however, vary according to when the Solstice occurs astronomically. We gather together with friends and feast, drink cider and make our own heat when the Earth is providing none. This is also the longest night of the year, the turning point when the day begins to grow longer and Winter begins its passage to the coming Spring. It is the time when the Goddess gives birth to the Divine Sun who shall soon be her lover and father to the child in the next cycle. The Pagan Winter Solstice is a time of feasting and exchanging gifts. It is a time when we celebrate together, finding thanks in how far through Winter we have come, and how we can now look forward to longer and warmer days. We know that we still have some of the coldest days and nights of the year to come, but we rest assured that we have been blessed by the Gods and the Goddesses with an abundance of love and the things we need. With events already planned for the night of the solstice, The Winters Rose Yule Celebration will be Tuesday, Dec. 18th, 2007 at 9pm Eastern at the Inn in the Freehold. If youd like to go there should be a rune to the Rose tavern in olympus on the 2nd floor in the ''rp taverns'' runebook i believe. Have fun ^.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
