Each year we are faced with choices at the holiday season.
Seemingly we have to choose the happy and merry--party ‘til you drop--overspend
on gifts version of Christmas, or to be a holiday grouch. This book calls us to
a spiritual opportunity for Yule/Christmas.
The Capricorn (Winter in the Northern Hemisphere) Solstice
commences the time between the Solar Year and the Lunar Year (The Lunar year is
several days less than the 365.25 day Solar year as the 12 succeeding New or
Full Moons occur in less time.) This interstitial time is the twelve days of
Christmas you’ve heard about in the Christmas Carol.. The “Time Between the
Years” might be considered a fifth season. They are days of reflection and days
of prophecies for the coming year. The Year’s Great Pause begins at the
Solstice on December 21 or 22. This book contains rituals and tasks for each of
the 12 nights that allow us to heal old issues and more forward into a better
year. This whole reflection can be in addition to a more commercial Christmas
season, or instead of it. At end, the final night is a renewal that
reintegrates with “normal life” on January 1 or 2.
If you are searching for the sacred during the holiday
season, this book is for you!
