#36-24 Solstice Rituals … celebrating the path of the sun

Winter Solstice (December 21 in the Northern Hemisphere) is an annual solar event and a traditional occasion for ritual and contemplation. In this program, Frieda Werden asks questions of two experienced practitioners of an earth-based, women-centred religion about what they do around solstice, and how they came to their vocations. They also make suggestions for privately engaging with the darkest night. Lovely music is included. [Note: in the Southern hemisphere, you’ll be celebrating the summer solstice at the same time.  The astronomy is explained in the program.]
