The Winter Thermstice (Imbolc) Approaches! + Online Rituals!
For those of us in more Northern climes, the Winter Thermstice, or Imbolc, means ice and snow. Earlier, we looked at snowflakes, seeing on an atomic level why they make such beautiful crystals. This year, we have a full moon for Imbolc – rising just after sunset in your local sky!
Much more than “just” Astronomy, here’s an Opportunity to Discover our World, Starting January 20! Free for Some!
To gaze into the night sky fills us with awe. Like so much in nature, that feeling is deepened profoundly by when done with more understanding of what we are seeing. In addition to that, so many aspects of our knowledge of the night sky help us understand the basics of how our world works – changing our view of our own lives.
What magic will *You* make this New Years Eve?
Here comes New Year’s Eve! What will you make from it? A fun evening? A window into the vastness of space and time? A commitment to help our world in these pivotal times? Steps towards a better life, a better you? All of these are possible!
Happy Winter Solstice!
Happy Winter Solstice, or Yule! Of course, our spherical planet also gives us the beautiful symmetry of the Summer Solstice (Litha) being celebrated now by our Southern Hemisphere friends. With the exact Solstice moment at 10:03 am (EST) on December 21st, the longest night for those of us in the Americas (North and South) is the night of the 20th. However, for those in Europe and Asia, the longest night is tonight, the night of the 21st. This is different for every time zone, and is easy to figure out. If the instant of the Solstice is in the morning (before noon) in your local time zone, then the longest night is the night before. If it’s in the afternoon or evening, the the longest night is the night after the Winter Solstice for you.
This year we are also treated to a dark (New) moon right around Solstice (the New Moon is on December 20 for most of us)! What special magic will you make? Interestingly, for those in the Southern Hemisphere, who are celebrating the Summer Solstice, instead of being double dark, it’s a sharp contrast between Dark and Light!
