It’s almost time for Red Oak Grove’s famous Winter Solstice celebration!
Alban Arthan is the Welsh Pagan/Druid name for the Winter Solstice, when the day is shortest and the night longest. To encourage the Sun to return, we will light 8 candles at sunset, blowing out one each hour until midnight, when we’ll be shrouded in darkness. During this time, we’ll turn off all the lights and electronics in order to truly feel how long and dark the night can be. Then we’ll re-light one candle each hour until dawn arrives, and then toast the sunrise with mimosas!
Schedule TBD — Friday night community ritual and gift swap; Saturday night vigil includes ADF ritual, bardic contests, and feasts. During the day Saturday we’ll also have workshops, games and activities, and more.
