Midwinter. Yule. The ancient origin of many well-loved traditions we still celebrate as part of Christmas. Winter Solstice marks the longest night, a time of faith, and the time of the turning of the Wheel of the Year, as we once again anticipate welcoming back the light. Anciently Midwinter fires were lit and in Celtic lands, the Yule log brought in with ceremony. Winter Solstice is a season of deep magic and faith, a potent time for release, renewal and rebirth.
In the mythic cycle of the Goddess, this is the season of the hag, she who releases herself to rebirth. Far different than the hectic busy-ness of Christmas, Midwinter is a season of quiet, reflection, taking stock and deep listening to our own inner wisdom. It is time of potent dreaming and genesis time of feeling into what we want to create in the coming new year.
We’re gathering in Circle this year on the actual date of Solstice, which comes in at 5:02 am ET. Join us as we take time to reflect, acknowledge our gifts and what we have created this year, and release to make room to seed our heart's Desires for the new year to come.
This seasonal circle will be held via Zoom in the Circle. If you are new to The Sophia Women’s Circle, you may reserve your spot here:
