Wonderful, evocative writing! I love the image of dark magic and ritual around the solstice, but have to admit I have nothing special of my own beyond regular holiday activities.
Cheers Erik - I was really struggling for something to write, but I actually got into it once I started. Starting is so often the hardest part. When we lived in the woods we would often have a fire and cook outside to celebrate, but this year we’ll have to think of something new to mark the solstice. I’m not sure it matters that much what it is, but it’s important to us to mark the turning point in the year somehow, even if that’s by eating pizza and raising a glass to the universe!
I'm kind of the same as Erik, not much planned beyond my usual. I'll probably just sleep later because of the darkness 😁
I love this time of year, not for the holiday season but for the coziness of it all.
Ha ha, well a little extra sleep sounds like a great way to celebrate!

I love the idea and am going to implement something like it immediately!
Excellent - would love to hear what you end up doing!
Sounds like a good plan to take some time off over the Christmas period - hope it helps you feel rested and ready for the New Year ahead!
