If black nights give you the blues, cheer up. After the winter solstice on 21 June, each day gets a little longer.

The longest night of the year marks the start of the solar year and the rebirth of the sun. It represents a new growth cycle and fresh beginnings. But we still have to wait a little while before we emerge from the period of inner focus. Sadly for some, we still have six more weeks from midwinter before we get to enjoy longer days again.

Never mind. It is simply a part of the cycle of life. Darkness is necessary so that we appreciate the gift of light. Without light we dont get to play with shadows. And where would the good folk of Punxsutawney be without their Ground Hog predicting the coming season according to his shadow?

So be happy ?the winter solstice is a magical time for reviving goddess energy. Not only does the sun get to re-emerge, but there is plenty of other action going on in the maternity ward of heaven. Isis delivered Horus, Amaterasu was born, Rhea gave birth to Hera and Zeus, and Mary set Christmas in motion with the birth of Christ.

Gods and goddesses of the sun, time, enlightenment and spring. And all symbolic of ancient cultures recognising the gift of the turning point of light and dark.
