With a few weeks yet until Yule, Winter Solstice, we truly are living the darkest days of the winter, a fitting time for the soul's journey into darkness to discover the mysteries it holds, begun at Samhain, to honor death as part of the circle of life, and to look forward to the return of the Sun to warm our cold and turn our nights into days. As we prepare to say goodbye to November, we also prepare to day goodbye to the darkness. Mysterious Scorpio has yielded to the optimism of Sagittarius. The excitement that hangs in the air is just as palpable for Pagans and Wiccans who recognize something of our own in all of the holiday trappings and look forward, too, to the birth of our God, the Sun.
