Excerpts from '
Spirit Talk':
Winter Solstice: By the calendar of the natural world, the winter solstice
marks the ingress into the profound precincts of the deep Mother Earth Womb,
the original confirmation point of all seed soul, sprout, and rootlet growth.
The days and nights of silent contemplation and Quiet Time observances have
served to quiet the mind and prepare the body, much as the field is prepared to
receive the new seed. Winter means that much of the northern hemi-turtle shell
of this hemisphere is blanketed by the purifying powers of Snow Woman’s gifts
and freezes … We live always within the Sacred Rainbow Hoop. This hoop of life
is a threshold of all the moments of the eternal present. The eternal present
we now find ourselves within and contemplating is the first of the White Plains
of Spirit, others will follow in succeeding seasons, each with basically the
same purifying intent. The winter solstice, embedded within the purifying power
of the cold, cloaked with the white plain of purity, located in and upon the
wisdom body of the original gift, represents the core wisdom quality of winter
… Conscious arrival and acquaintance with the Winter threshold of the Sacred
Medicine Wheel Hoop of Life is a primal renewal experience, made ceremony. If
this is a new concept to you, trust that you have entered into one of the most
beautiful and comprehensive systems in this galaxy and beyond for containing,
supporting, and interpreting life in a sacred way. Best wishes upon this
journey. The winter solstice is a naturally occurring station within the year
and, as such, has accrued a long history. The holy days, holidays, are usually
grounded in natural phenomena that grew out of the Creative Mind and manifested
in the first, most beautiful and enduring gifts of our Mother Earth, our Father
Sky-Sun and the myriad of clustering entities we call the powers and fixtures
of the natural world … This then, is the sacred charge: to bring oneself
forward in all possible wholeness, mindfulness, and beauty, and to conceive of
and design ceremonies of personal meaning, fulfilling the sacred charge to be
happy and enjoy life. This winter solstice is our time to unite with the
natural world. Take these long nights to rest, tell stories, celebrate, and
dream deeply of life before the stronger suns call us forward once again to
grow and to labor. But for now, enter into and be one with the conceptual
Return of the Light.
