“In ancient times the days before the winter solstice were the most frightening time of the year—the sun was dropping lower and lower in the sky and the days getting shorter and shorter, not to mention colder and colder. If the sun continued its descent, life would end. The people truly feared this. But by the twenty-fifth or so of December they would have been able to ascertain that the days were getting longer again, that the sun was ascending. That’s what the original Christmas celebration was for—the earth had been saved, or reborn, for another year.”
― David S. Brody, Powdered Gold: Templars and the American Ark of the Covenant

“Within the magic of the asking,
lives the magic to receive,

“time of the winter solstice. We lose all our energy, it feels like death and in the darkness”
