Love your work, Deb. Thank you for guiding up through solstice and celebrating the welcome return to light. I live in Canada and we only get 8 hours of sunlight at this time of year. In recent years, ritualizing solstice has helped me accept and even embrace in darkness. Thanks for your wonderful teachings. Blessed be. Christine

Solstice blessings to you Christine! Thank you so much for your kind words. It helps me to think of the darkness as a time for nurturing and seeding myself before the light returns. I think of this time as fallow time, when seeds of hope can begin to germinate. Blessings! Deb

Thanks so much! I hope you'll enjoy reading the article I linked about how they came to be and how they now are a thriving industry for a region of North Carolina. Happy holidays to you!
