Because of this, historian Ronald Hutton shows, succeeding British generations have been free to reimagine, reinterpret, and reinvent the Druids. Druids have been remembered at different times as patriots, scientists, philosophers, or priests; sometimes portrayed as corrupt, bloodthirsty, or ignorant, they were also seen as fomenters of rebellion. Hutton charts how the Druids have been written in and out of history, archaeology, and the public consciousness for some years, with particular focus on the romantic period, when Druids completely dominated notions of British prehistory. Sparkling with legends and images, filled with new perspectives on ancient and modern times, this book is a fascinating cultural study of Druids as catalysts in British history.

This is what is commonly being described as the event. Why 21st December 2020? There's natural scientific significance of this date with relation to our solar system. The Azimuthal Equidistant Geocentric Earth model, the sun coils up and around the electromagnetic dome that encapsulates our earth for the summers and coils down towards the end of our solar year to its southern most position of the Tropic of Capricorn. And on December 21 is at its lowest Zenith or Y axis point, the farthest out from our land centre, and the closest to the earth vertically. This is what is known as the winter solstice, from a northern hemisphere perspective, and the summer solstice from the southern hemisphere perspective. K A R E N S T E V E N S . C O M .

The light illuminates the spirals in a changing pattern throughout the year and marks the solstices and equinoxes with particular images. The assembly can also be used to observe lunar phenomena. It is unique in archeoastronomy in utilizing the changing height of the midday sun throughout the year rather than its rising and setting points. The construct appears to be the result of deliberate work of the Anasazi Indians, the builders of the great pueblos in the area. Near the top of an isolated butte in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, three large stone slabs collimate sunlight in vertical patterns of light on two spiral petroglyphs carved on the cliff behind them. The light illuminates the spirals each day near noon in a changing pattern throughout the year and marks the solstices and equinoxes with particular images.

  • Summer Solstice
    Summer Solstice The equator is an imaginary line around the middle of the Earth. Above the equator is the northern hemisphere. Below the equator is the southern hemisphere. Can you imagine a pole going through Earth from the North Pole to the South Pole? This pole would be the Earth’s axis. The Earth spins around this axis. The axis is not vertical; it tilts the Earth over. This means the Earth appears to lean over. The Earth orbits or moves on a path around the Sun. This takes around one year. At different times of the year, as it journeys around the Sun, some places on Earth are nearer to the Sun than others. If you live above the equator, Earth is tilted closer to the Sun in the summer, giving more light and heat. In winter, these countries are further away from the sun and have less light and heat. Spring Sun Winter Summer Autumn This diagram shows the seasons in the northern hemisphere, above the equator. Can you see how the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun in summer? Page 1 of 3 Summer Solstice What is the Summer Solstice? The Summer Solstice happens when the North Pole is most tilted towards the sun. It marks the change when days in the northern hemisphere begin to grow shorter. The Summer Solstice happens around 21st June. This is also known as midsummer and is the longest day and shortest night of the year in the northern hemisphere. Summer Solstice in the Far North Solstice Celebrations Around the Summer Solstice, countries For thousands of years, there have in the Arctic Circle, like parts of been solstice celebrations around Norway, Finland, Greenland and the world.

  • Texas Local Council Covenant of the Goddess Wiccan Holy Days
    Texas Local Council Covenant of the Goddess Wiccan Holy Days ~ also known as Sabbats In the days before the advent of electric lights and artificial time, our ancestors marked the turning of the seasons through their observation of the natural world. The awesome spectacle repeated in the pattern of the changing seasons still touches our lives. In the ages when people worked more closely with nature just to survive, the numinous power of this pattern had supreme recognition. Rituals and festivals evolved to channel these transformations for the good of the community toward a good sowing and harvest and bountiful herds and hunting. One result of this process is our image of the "Wheel of the Year" with its eight spokes -- the four major agricultural and pastoral festivals and the four minor solar festivals of the solstices and equinoxes. DECEMBER 19 - 21* -- WINTER SOLSTICE -- YULE The sun is at its nadir, the year's longest night. We internalize and synthesize the outward-directed activities of the previous summer months. Some covens hold a Festival of Light to commemorate the Goddess as Mother giving birth to the Sun God. Others celebrate the victory of the Lord of Light over the Lord of Darkness as the turning point from which the days will lengthen. The name "Yule" derives from the Norse word for "wheel", and many of our customs (like those of the Christian holiday) derive from Norse and Celtic Pagan practices (the Yule log, the tree, the custom of Wassailing, etc..) FEBRUARY 2 -- IMBOLC (OIMELC) OR BRIGID As the days' lengthening becomes perceptible, many candles are lit to hasten the warming of the earth and emphasize the reviving of life.

  • Solstice Prayer 2016
    SOLSTICE PRAYER JUNE 20161 Grace, Mercy, Love and Peace continue to be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. This month is full of major activities and alignments in the heavens. We are sending this full moon and solstice letter out now so as to equip you for the peak activity of June – the Summer solstice. We want to put you on alert concerning the main issues to tackle in prayer as you man the altar of the Lamb of God this season. Summer/Winter Solstice Saturnalia – Northern Hemisphere In ancient times, Winter Solstice and Saturnalia are celebrated hand in hand by pagans (witches, wizards, all manners of sorcerers, and so forth). Celebration of the winter solstice (December 20/21/22), the longest and darkest night of the year, usually begins with the Saturnalia. From December 17-21, pagans honoured Saturn, god of agricultural fertility with feasting. During this time, masters feasted with slaves. A slave is usually appointed as a mock king of the household. Throughout Saturnalia, the mock king rules and all slaves are given the freedom to do and say what they liked. After that, slaves go back to being slaves until the following year. During the time of slavery in America, Saturnalia was a major event and is still celebrated today in New Orleans. It is significant to note that the final abolition of slavery act in the U.S. was passed during the 1865 celebration of Saturnalia, a time for mocking slaves. A time in which slaves can pretend they are free.

  • Winter Solstice (Shortest Track), and the Spring and Fall Equinoxes (Medium Track)
    Solstice and Equinox (“Suntrack”) Season Model Philip Scherrer & Deborah Scherrer, Stanford Solar Center Introduction This physical model simulates the Sun’s tracks across the sky at summer solstice (longest track), winter solstice (shortest track), and the spring and fall equinoxes (medium track). A bead simulates the Sun moving from rising along the eastern horizon to setting on the western. The bead can be moved from track to track to demonstrate the solstices and equinoxes. The model is made to accurately represent the user’s latitude. Many people are confused about the meaning of solstices and equinoxes. Verbal descriptions are often inadequate because they are difficult to envision or overly technical. Imagery is helpful, but some have trouble understanding the perspective of the imagery. This physical model was developed (over years) to enhance the teaching of the solstice and equinox concepts, as well as being helpful in understanding solar alignments of cultural and archaeoastronomy sites. A quote from Cidney Webster, National Park Service: My program was a guided walk through the park and the topic was the winter solstice. ... I copied a diorama used by Dr. and Mrs. Scherrer during the training that demonstrated the Sun's position in the sky at different times of the year. This became my most effective teaching tool. Everyone loved the diorama!" Includes instructions for a simple, low-cost version made from paper plates and pipe cleaners. © Stanford University; permission to use granted for educational & noncommercial purposes
