(Michael J. Meade is a storyteller, author, and mythologist who explores the connection between ancient myths and modern life. It was listening to this video sent by a friend that started me thinking more about the solstice and the right subject for the renewal of the Jungian Times. Thanks Donna.)
“Solstice means “sun stands still,” as at the darkest time of the year the pulse of life stops for a timeless moment, before the light can return and renew the energy of people and the Earth. Traditional cultures around the world imagined that humans play a role in bringing the light back from the darkness. The rebirth of the sun reflects a potential awakening of the heart and soul of each person.”
