The Magic of Winter Solstice




Winter Solstice is upon us..


For Three Days the Sun will stand Still..
We reflect in that Stillness


Knowing...
 that the Sun's Spirit
is Coming Alive

The Birth of the Sun..
The Return of Light...


Happy Yule

Blessings
of Winter Solstice
to One & All!


May you Be Blessed
with Magic



The Power of the Sun


The Power of the Star and Nature's Cycles


The Power of Joyful Blessings and Rebirth


The Golden Rays
of Sunlight Returning...
and The Sphere of Life
Sharing It's Gifts of Abundance with you



May you Dance
And Sing
And Celebrate
the Great Beauty 
of Planet Earth,
the Sun, Moon, Stars
and the Miracle of every Season
and All of Nature


Let the Light... Come to Life
Embrace the Power of the Sun
and Create in that Sacred Rebirth
Merry Solstice
Happy Yule
~Kiki~


Wishing you
Abundance and Peace
In the Spirit of the Season
THANKYOU
I Give Gratitude
to those who Share their Magic,
Thankyou for visiting my blog 
& Spreading your Sparkle
~Kiki~

How appropriate, the luminaries have always been something special in our Christmas celebrations. The neighborhood we first lived in as a married couple lined every curbside with them on Christmas eve, and would walk the sidewalks singing carols. This was cold PA, mind you, but the memory of it is warming. A very happy Solstice to you!

Wonderful post Kiki. I think Winter Solstice is the most magical & powerful day of the year. I can actually feel a positive energy shift with its passing, as oppose to the slight negative I feel during the passage of summer solstice.

Happy solstice to you too. :) Rebecca

Andrea said...

Hello there Kiki,
This is my second comment on this post coz when i saw your reply i already forgot my comments you replied on, so while reviewing replied again, as this. Actually i just bought a book on crystals last week together with a book on local birds. I've read the crystal book few years ago but wanted to have my own copy. I've just not tried meditating with them but they are around in the house and in the office. However, i have not been diligent in cleaning and attending to them anymore. thanks. Be sure to take a look at my posts lately, i have some delightful orchids.

I Love the Rainforest...
