Are you someone who reflects, “What is life really about?” You still can’t understand why you didn’t receive an Owner’s Manual at birth. Have you been looking for clues wherever you go to its origin and secrets beyond what you know today?
So for sure, you’ll want to get acquainted with the matriarchal civilizations of long ago and get what you can from the symbols they left behind. Discover the secrets of the solstices that they considered so important that they built sacred temples and observatories to capture the sunbeam that shines deep into their inner chambers on the winter solstice.
The winter solstice was a time of rebirth for them, and it can be for you too. Let me show you a profound and magical ritual, a ceremony that you can do in the tranquility of your own home or in a group.
The winter solstice marks the longest and darkest night, with the least amount of daylight. It is our shortest day when the Sun has its lowest arc in the sky. Solstice is derived from Latin I usually (sun) and sister (stay still). In fact, that’s exactly what happens for a moment, at 9:47 AM PST, December 21, 2009, with the sun directly overhead along the Tropic of Cancer.
Then the Sun begins to rise again to the skies, we have more daylight, we are reborn.
Newgrange 3700 BC C.
A lost civilization is Newgrange in Ireland’s Boyne Valley, which has been radiocarbon dated from 3700 BC. That is long before Stonehenge, which is a perfect marker for the winter and summer solstices, even before the Egyptian pyramids were built. An underground chamber was built to receive a ray of sunlight deep into its central chambers during the winter solstice.
Matriarch civilization in Malta
Another underground chamber that has been found, from the same time period, even a few hundred years earlier, is found on the island of Malta. Instead of normal male genital artifacts representing a patriarchal civilization, you will find female genital symbols, including statues of women that reveal clues to a matriarchal civilization.
Although Ireland and Malta are far apart in the distance, you will find the same markings, from the dualistic spiral, the forerunner of the ying / yang symbol. The symbol is for darkness / light at the equinoxes and solstices. It is also one of the secrets of the greatest duality of all, life / death. And the winter solstice represents rebirth, reincarnation, the reinvention of oneself.
Accept the ancient teachings of the winter solstice
Why not consciously get emotionally involved? Let your emotional nature, which is the inner actor / actress, fully express itself in the winter solstice. Drama, be it tragedy or comedy, is how your emotional nature expresses itself and learns.
Rational reasoning, logic, facts, is for your mind and it is really boring for your emotions that keep the secrets of magical love relationships. Love, the most sought after of all feelings, remains hidden within the chambers of your emotional nature, waiting for someone who understands its language of feelings, intuition and stories to bring it out.
Let the pursuit of unconditional love be your star, your vision to learn the language of your emotions. And on the winter solstice, let the ray of light penetrate even the deepest chambers of love, drawing it in once more, for a time of rebirth.
Let me show you how to create a ritual, a ceremony to experience this day or even in the dark hours of the night, more deeply. Use the magical dualistic symbol of life and death to the fullest.
Rebirth ceremony
