 Solstices hold a special reminder for me that a new path will reveal itself.
This past year, we have experienced a combination of events that could have been written in fiction books. You can't survive tumultuous times without changing and adapting.  A twenty-year cycle that began in 2000 will be coming to an end on the Winter Solstice, Monday, December 21. Jupiter and Saturn will form a ‘Great Conjunction’ when they appear closer in the night sky than they have since 1226 A.D. This celestial event will create a Christmas star--an illumination shining so brightly, you won’t need a telescope to see it. Talk about the light announcing its return!  In Native American culture, December begins a season of storytelling and ceremony.
I recently came across a series of Native American Winter stories. One story by Tom Porter, a Mohawk elder, tells of the first person who came to this Earth was "Sky Woman," the first Mother of us all.  As we move this week into December, the Moon is in retreat from the sun's illumination. This waning lunar period signals a time for us to connect with the rhythm of our body's harmonic vibration. |
