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.

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

The Solstice Sun Wheel Advent Ceremony returns for Year 18. Join us, for you and I are the necessary, awaited ones who tend the Light’s rebirth.

Blessed Litha! Today is the ending of the waxing year and the beginning of the waning year, in preparation for the harvest to come.

Rejoice in Life’s creative ecstasy! On this happy sabbat we dance the mysteries of fertility, beauty, and Nature’s flowering. Blessed Beltane!
