Happy Solstice!


Today is the longest night of the year and marks the Winter Solstice for all us pagan-types out there.

It also marks the birthday of one of my very nearest and dearest friends, Govgirl, whom had the audacity to not be at work today after I sent her an e-card, so she'll just have to wait and see it when she goes back to work in January! Happy Birthday dear girl! You are a remarkable woman and a true friend. I am lucky to have known you for as long as I have and look forward to many more years of friendship (Govgirl was the person who introduced me to Monty Python and Douglas Adams, so she holds a rather special place in my heart!).

Regardless, a Happy Solstice to everyone out there and may the turning of the seasons bring hope, joy and prosperity to all!

  • Happy Solstice to you too!!:) I used to celebrate by burning a yule log, but alas, I have no legal place to burn anymore;) I like today because the Earth is gradually awakening from it's long slumber. The days will get longer, and hopefully not too long from now, things will start to thaw out. I look forward to Beltane as that is the start of the best seasons here in MN.

  • Longer, brighter days ahead for all of us. And here's to your friendship with Govgirl - friends like that are gold.

  • Python AND Adams?
    A good friend, to be sure!

    And Happy Solstice, from one who makes fun of all faiths and lifestyles equally.

  • Happy (belated) solistace to you too. Hope you and the good Father had a great time welcoming back the light.

    Thanks too for this tribute, Sister . . . and for the earings. They are (like you) too cool for words, and I will feel very goddess-like when I wear them.

    Now, if I could just figure out how to make myself look like the woman in the picture you've posted? (of course, that post COULD get uncomfortable after a while . . . .)

  • Oops! Typo - or Freudian slip (your decision!) . . . I meant to say that POSE could get uncomfortable after a while.
