New Year’s is a time of very old magic. Prepare by knowing that everything you do on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day is loaded with power.

Today is the final candle lighting if you’ve not yet done it. Advent is over, the promise is kept, the Light has come. Peace and joy to all.

Rejoice! The decline of the light is over, and rebirth is at hand! On this global, oldest known holy day of all humanity, joy to the world!

This is the day before Winter Solstice, and the ancient celebration of Mother Night. Make space for the quiet pause before the Yuletide birth.

We’ve come to the last Sun Day and the final candle before Solstice and Christmas. Happy Chanukah, blessed night, we bring now our fourth Light.

In view of the noise, the divisions among us, the ceaseless rancor, and escalating attacks on our principles, we need this ancient time out.

With the lighting of the third candle on our Advent Solstice Sun Wreath, it’s clear that a great birthing is on the way! We welcome it with joy.

In Love we call the Guardian Flame, in Trust we speak the Holy Name. Around the world we greet the dark, then light our second candle’s spark.

Tonight it’s time to begin our annual Advent candle lighting, also known as the Solstice Sun Wreath Prayer Ceremony. Here are some ideas.
