Tonight at sunset wherever you are, gather with us to light the next candle in our multifaith Advent ceremony. If you’re counting down to Solstice, it’s your 3rd candle. If you’re counting to Christmas only, it’s the 2nd candle. Learn more and join our holy circle spanning the globe, as we prepare for the birth of the Light.

Tonight (Nov. 23), we begin the 21st celebration of the annual Advent Sun Wreath Ceremony. Join us! Tell your friends. Our hurting world needs us, and this is how you may answer Her call. May our prayers be beautifully blessed as we gather across time zones and geography, for in our hearts we are united.

Let us join together and give thanks on this blessed Equinox! In this rare moment, day and night come into a brief, but perfect balance.

If you live below the equator, Happy Ostara, and if you are in the Northern Hemisphere, Happy Harvest Home and Mabon! May all reap sweet abundance and goodness of every kind.

The Wheel of the Year turns once more, as Solstice’s magic fades and the seasons begin to change. There are powerful blessings on this ancient Celtic holy day of feasting, fire, and thanksgiving. Named for the vow the Shining God Lugh made to His mother Taitliu, it is an ancient crossroads that celebrates the First Harvest.

For everyone who is lighting candles counting down to Christmas, it’s time to light your final candle, either tonight, or tomorrow morning, depending on your preferences and perhaps traditions.

By bone and stone, seed and flower, from the darkest caves to the highest mountaintops, this holy evening we now light our Advent wreath’s candles of Joy for the sweet Earth and coming birth.

Is the hectic, too-bright-and-shiny, consumer-frenzied holiday noise getting under your skin? Are you, like me, still reeling from the disastrous U.S. election? Join me as we step into a magical Time Out of Time called the Halcyon Days. Learn more…

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, those who are counting down only to Christmas, as well as all who are counting down to Solstice, join together, lighting our Advent wreath candles of hope and/or the life-giving power of Fire.
