Advent - Pagan Style

Well, the Solstice is a little over four weeks away. My friend Beth Owl's Daughter shared with me the notion of using the advent wreath as a way to honor the darkening time of the year in preparation for the coming rebirth of the sunlight on Solstice morning. You can go here to really read in more depth what Beth shares. I got my wreath and have my candle holders ready. I'm going to use tea lights for the four candles that represent the directions and guardians of the directions. Notice the little Santa in the center. I told you I love this time of year.

Then there are these great pictures of the only thing blooming in my yard. The Witch Hazel bush. Aren't these blooms just incredible?
