Tonight in our Solstice ceremony, we light Candle 3. Or, if you’re counting to Christmas only, it’s your 2nd candle. However you choose to celebrate, please stop by and be inspired by today’s post on my website.

Tonight (Nov. 24), we begin the 20th celebration of the Advent Sun Wreath Ceremony. Join us! Tell your friends. May our prayer spell be blessed as we gather across time zones and geography, for in our hearts we are united.
