Description
My Celtic Wheel of the Year collection illustrates the changing seasons of the year as well as the cycle of life. Yule Midwinter is the winter solstice it marks the start of the New Year. The winter solstice celebrates the ebbing of the sun to its shortest day of the year. In Ireland each year hundreds of people gather in Newsgrange, County Meath to watch the sunrise as it illuminates the ancient burial site. Midwinter has been recognized as a significant turning point in the yearly cycle since the late stone age. The reversal of the suns ebbing presence in the sky symbolizes the rebirth of the solar god and presages the return of fertile seasons.
