The solstices and equinoxes are mainly Druid ritual/holidays. They are times when Druids celebrate and feel the changing of the seasons. Scryings and divinings are performed to see what the coming season will bring, and the spells performed depend on the power flows associated with the day and the coming season. Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year, so spells performed on this day are often ones relating to shortening of time length, coldness, sleep, or other things associated with winter. It is the time when Druids become one with the sleep that is winter. Feel within yourself the changing of the season, the fullness of winter. Any spells that would best utilize the power of the Winter Solstice should be performed on this day. A potent symbol of this day is darkness, the darkness of the longest night of the year. It is often a day of fasting for the Druids. Evening or the time of the setting sun is a good time of day to hold the Winter Solstice observance. |
