The Winter Solstice: Embracing the Darkest Day of the Year Shaina Tranquilino December 23, 2023

As winter settles in and daylight diminishes, we reach a pivotal moment known as the winter solstice. This astronomical event marks the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It is a time when nature seems to hold its breath, and we find ourselves drawn inward, seeking warmth, reflection, and renewal.

Historically, cultures across the globe have celebrated this celestial occurrence with diverse rituals and traditions. From ancient stone structures aligned with the solstice sunrise to festivals honoring the rebirth of light, societies have recognized the significance of this turning point in our planet's journey around the sun.

For many, however, modern life has disconnected us from these age-old practices and left us unaware of the profound symbolism behind this celestial dance. Yet, by understanding and embracing the winter solstice, we can tap into its transformative power and find meaning amidst the darkness.

At its core, the winter solstice represents a metaphorical death followed by rebirth. As nature withdraws into dormancy during this cold season, it reminds us of our own need for rest and introspection. The long nights offer an opportunity to turn inward, evaluate our lives' paths, release what no longer serves us, and envision new beginnings.

In Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Norway, people celebrate St. Lucia's Day on December 13th as a precursor to the winter solstice festivities. Young girls dress in white robes with candles adorning their heads to symbolize bringing light into darkness – a beautiful reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope.

Another tradition associated with the winter solstice is Yule. Derived from Norse mythology, Yule celebrates the return of light after a period of prolonged darkness. People kindle bonfires or light candles to honor this triumph over gloominess while feasting together and exchanging gifts as symbols of goodwill and unity.

Additionally, the winter solstice holds profound significance in Indigenous cultures. The Hopi tribe, for instance, celebrates Soyal, a ceremony that marks the beginning of their new year. Through rituals, prayers, and dances, they welcome the sun's return and offer gratitude for another cycle of life.

For those seeking personal reflection during this time, creating your own winter solstice ritual can be a powerful way to connect with nature's rhythms. Light candles or a bonfire to symbolize the returning light and write down intentions for personal growth and transformation. Meditate on what you want to release from your life and visualize the seeds of new beginnings taking root within you.

Moreover, spending time outdoors on the day of the winter solstice can deepen our connection to nature's cycles. Take a walk in a forest or near water bodies – places where stillness reigns supreme even amidst chaos. Observe how animals adapt to the changing season and find inspiration in their resilience.

As we celebrate the winter solstice together, let us acknowledge that darkness is not something to fear but rather an integral part of our existence. It is from these moments of darkness that we can cultivate strength, wisdom, and appreciation for the light that will inevitably return.

So as we gather around warm hearths with loved ones or bask in solitude by candlelight on this darkest day of the year, may we embrace the quietude it offers us. Let us honour our past experiences while kindling hope for a brighter future ahead.

In this dance between dark and light lies an opportunity for transformation – an invitation to grow despite adversity. And just as ancient civilizations celebrated this celestial event thousands of years ago, may we too find solace and renewal in its timeless magic.

Dear Divine Spirit,

On this joyous day of the winter solstice, we gather together to celebrate the return of light and the blessings of this season. We give thanks for the beauty that surrounds us, and for the love and warmth in our hearts.

As the longest night passes and daylight begins to grow, we are reminded of the infinite cycle of life. May this solstice be a time of renewal and rebirth for all beings on Earth. May it bring hope, peace, and abundance into our lives.

We pray for harmony among nations and unity among humanity. May compassion fill our hearts, and may we extend a helping hand to those in need. Let kindness be our guiding principle as we navigate through challenges and embrace opportunities for growth.

In this sacred moment, we express gratitude for Mother Nature's gifts. The sparkling snowflakes, crisp air, and cozy fireside gatherings remind us of the wonders that surround us. May we cherish these simple pleasures and find joy in every passing day.

On this winter solstice, we also remember all those who have passed from this world. We honour their memory by living fully and embracing each precious moment with love and gratitude.

May this solstice inspire us to seek inner wisdom and guidance. May it illuminate our path towards personal transformation, healing, and self-discovery. Let us release any burdens or negative energies that no longer serve us, allowing space for new beginnings.

Finally, dear Spirit, we offer our heartfelt appreciation for your divine presence in our lives. Thank you for guiding us through darkness towards light, offering solace during challenging times while reminding us of the eternal cycle of nature.

Blessed be on this winter solstice! May its radiant energy fill our hearts with happiness, love, and renewed hope for a bright future ahead.

Amen.

Thinking about Faction Paradox shadows

I still like the idea in Unnatural History? Faction Paradox members not having shadows because they are no longer "real" in Causality

But then would the sombras que corta itself work as a fake replacement shadow? Or do you need a shadow to pick one up?

#My doodles #Faction Paradox #I prefer the idea of Celestis being shadows too #Or maybe something with mirrors like how Shifts are pattern based thingies

it's almost midnight but I did go grocery shopping today, I did go on that foraging plant excursion, I talked to my mother for 2 hours, and also baked three large boxes of cookies and baked goods to bring with me to the office as my farewell gift, so probably a good sunday.

#it's interesting I can feel my relationship to my mother shifting. #not that we're equals now but I am an adult to her. we talk to each other as two adults. #I...have complicated feelings about this. #mostly good! but also I wish there were better words for ''oh you were a person the whole time??'' #celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge

Celestial Waiting Room: Appearance

I'm using the person on the top right as my faceclaim and body claim, androgynous so I don't have to experience dysphoria.

I'd have the curtain haircut on the the top left, which is pretty but masculine.

I'd wear the celestial-themed top, undershirt, and slacks with the belt in the bottom left. I'd have the top unbuttoned except the bottom button. The golden parts of the pattern would glow faintly in the low light.

The boots in the bottom right would also faintly glow where the golden details are.

My clothes are always silky soft and clean.

My clothes will never overstimulate me.

What struck me about Laerynn's reasons for wanting to plane shift Avalir (other than blind ambition and hubris) was what she kept saying towards the end of the episode

"It has to be worth it"

Because it has to be worth it to have effectively ended Evandrin's life and taken Zerxus' husband and Elias' father away from them

It has to be worth it that she ruined her marriage to Quay even though they still love each other

She can't go back now because if she does it'll all have been for nothing, all the loss, all the time and effort

And I think at the end, that emotion, that desperation, is what drove her to continue pursuing her goals till the very end, not that she wanted to plane shift the city that badly

#She didn't even plane shift the city she just destroyed the tree and started the calamity #and now Evandrin's stuck in the Celestial plane forever #truly tragic and mad #cr spoilers #critical role #exu calamity #exu c #laerynn #laerynn coramar-seelie #glossopost

*thinks about luke*

#i doubt he'll ever be completely free of celestial realm propoganda #but when there's a shift and he sees through the lies i will be READY #his main sin is envy and he idolizies michael so much... #do you think he'll become jealous of michael... #jealous of Father even... #idek. i love this kid #so much potential (that hopefully won't go to waste :/) #from me #rambles #luke

i used to be terrified of space (and i still could not be paid to go out there) but i thinking learning more about it and seeing these new photos from the space telescopes has made it a lot less scary and instead just really, really cool

#i didn't think i'd really enjoy or find much interest in a class learning about star orbits and the electromagnetic spectrum #but actually it's really really interesting i like it #we talked about the moon and celestial spheres today #and also precession and how our zodiac signs are a lie bc they've shifted (or. more like we shifted) over the past few thousand years

I caved in. I'm going to do Winx X HC art. and maybe if I actually finish or like have a plot planned out. a fic.

The overall gist of it is: Celestial Being!Gem who lost her powers in a fight and ended up reverting into a teen Gem with no memories of her past. She's taken in by the family which found her in the middle of a park passed out.

But unlike Canon where the main cast are all fairies. Its the HC girls but Specialist!False, Witch!Cleo, Shapeshifter!Pearl and Dryad/Fairy!Stress.

The other hermits will make appearances here and there and maybe some esop members too

Will I bring twin symmetries into this? maybe.
