Winter Solstice Options

Just wondered if anyone was celebrating the winter solstice (northern) in any way and what they are doing for it.

It came upon me so suddenly that I haven't prepared; if anyone has any last minute ideas, post them please (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

hmm interesting concept.

perhaps you could place candles on your altar and around you 4 smaller ones. 1 for each wind direction.

first lit the candles on your alter and express your gratitude towards the goddess/god or whatever 2 main entities in your life. then light 1 candle of the winddirections and do a little prayer/chant corresponding that candle. and work your way through all the candles. give each candle a color or place them on the winddirection which has a certain meaning for you and do something personal to express your feelings towards it.

you could replace the chanting with the dance. intuitional movements on celtic songs perhaps? music from india would be nice. persian style, very gracefull as well.

also place a mirror on your altar and try to catch the moonlight with it and reflect it into your area if possible.

just a thought on the spot.
