Winter Solstice, also known as the pagan festival of Yule, marks the mid-point of winter and brings the promise of new beginnings as we move out of the darkness and into increasingly lighter, warmer days. It signals the return of light after the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere as from this day forward a new cycle begins of increasing daylight as the sun begins its journey Northward.
Winter is the season of stillness and rest, during which time plants and animals slow down to conserve energy. Whilst the outer world appears still, deep within the earth much activity is brewing, with seeds gestating ready to give birth in Spring. Likewise, we can use this time to withdraw and go within, to delve deep into our own inner worlds, to name our dreams and give birth to our visions.
As we release the dead wood in our lives, we make space for new opportunities to flow in and help us to move forward in the direction of our dreams. It is also a time to celebrate our accomplishments, and express gratitude for the blessings in our lives.
