The etymology of Solstice, rituals for today, the upcoming New Moon in Capricorn and this month's tree according to the Celtic tree calendar - Silver Birch (Betula pendula).
We are having a solstice (forest school) party on the field by our woods. Cook fire and some games. We hope to gather some large sticks to decorate with holly and ivy. To either use as staffs or to throw into the fire with our dreams of what we wish to let go of and dreams we want to welcome in. The field looks out over the Teign estuary valley with lots of sparkly lights. I’m glad I know the subset time now. Thanks. T x
This sounds like a dreamy Winter Solstice party! The sunset time for me is almost half an hour earlier than for you as I’m in the dark dark North! Your sunset (according to the Met Office app) will be 16:12 Tracey. Enjoy and Merry Midwinter x
