Traditionally, the solstice is a time of quiet, dreaming, and the light and warmth of fire. The sounds all have a cold primitive purity as they ring out. The rivers are still and the land waits patiently for spring to come. Walking at night this time of year yields a pure silence which I think of as Divine. The sky is full of stars and planets which seem brighter and larger than usual.
Wise and beautiful thoughts on the Winter Solstice

We as a planet are tipped so the Milky Way fills the night sky during the dark of winter. It’s one of the best treats of the season which you wise woman have certainly noticed
