    I'm not one that wears there emotions by any means but I nearly broke out in tears watching the winter solstice sunset and sunrise because I want to be there so bad. You are so blessed to have that place in DV. I just can't find the beauty in where I'm at and feel like it's the suffering that I must go thru until I finally move to the south west. Merry Christmas and happy new year. Please make a new year video because you are my uplift and inspiration to get out of the east coast.

    The sun is actually closer to Earth in the our winter. It is the tilt of the Earth that najes us colder. The Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun so the suns rays hit us at an angle and more directy hits the Southern Hemisphere. Thus they have summer. It is vice versa when we have summer. We actually are further from the sun but tilted toward the sun to get more direct rays.

    I remember celebrating winter solstice one year. We had a big bonfire and had a great dinner on the grill. Lot's of cocktails and fun. The next morning, for some reason, I wanted to clean out the fire pit. It was a rectangle Coleman job. I scooped out the ashes and threw them in a Minneapolis plastic garbage container. A hour later, I saw fire licking on the side of the garage. This is the middle of winter. The water hose was put away and their was no water source. So I grabbed a shovel and threw snow on the fire and it went out. Minor damage to the garage. The thing that saved the garage was a fresh coat of good paint. The garbage can was melted to it's wheels and I painted the garage in the spring to cover the fire damage. Good memories! Merry Christmas Sarah!

    A superb Winter Solstice ritual and observation! This is the best ever! And sets the tone for the coming year. The Winter Solstice is the still point of the Tao while simultaneously is the turning point of the Tao. A paradox is just the truth standing on its head to get your attention! It is the root of all Winter celebrations worldwide and goes back to the earliest days of humankind. Special thanks to your Sis for putting it all together, I can tell that she is a person of substantial personal power. The owl is the perfect spirit animal for her, mysterious, powerful and deep. Very special thanks to you Sarah for being the best documentation in all the wide open west! We are grateful to you for taking us to all the special places that the rest of us can't get to. Great fires at your ritual place, so much a part of a good solstice celebration and with the sage ~ perfect. I'm sure you guys have been to the Solstice bonfire at Muir Woods, so good. So a Very Merry Christmas to you, your Mom and all your family, also to all your gigantic sphere of friends! ~ Detroit in the house, it be cold here too!

I personally LOVE chanting as well, so I also write affirmations to chant with malas (that I make myself). It's so comforting to perform those actions and set the intentions. Doing that during major storms of any kind also amplifies those energies. 🙏
