Happy winter solstice! Well, at least for those of you living in the northern hemisphere. On this half of the planet, the sun is at its lowest point in the sky and we have the least amount of daylight for the year. Native peoples living in the North America believed it was a time for renewal, a time to celebrate. Once the longest night of the year has past, the Coldmaker relinquishes it’s influence on the sky, the sun begins to travel north again and we will have another warm summer to look forward to. So in the spirit of the solstice, may your darkness get a little lighter everyday and may you enjoy warm, brighter things in the coming year.

For you sky watchers out there… Don’t forget that early Sunday morning the Leonid Meteor Showers will be putting on their show. This year, the Leonids have been predicted to be one of the best meteor showers in decades. I hope the skies will be clear where you are.
