December 21 - Arrival of the Winter Solstice
8:35 a.m. local Montana time: the sun is officially up, but hidden in clouds, of course. We greet the Winter Solstice with four inches of fluffy, beautiful snow--it's a winter wonderland-for now...and now the daylight hours last a minute or two longer each day- the Dragon hasn't swallowed the sun (or is it Son?) Check out Revelation chapter12, for the symbolism of this.
I find I'm using a lot of this kind of spiritual symbology in my books. It runs through the myths and tales of nearly all ancient cultures--interesting... sometimes it's some other fearsome creature. And sometimes there's an unlikely hero who rescues the light-like the Raven in some native Alaskan tales.
Time to get ready for the ultimate winter journey in the Peaks Saga - BOOK FOUR: "WHEN THE WORLD GROWS COLD". If you haven't read the first three books, you can still get them at LOW Kindle prices of $2.99 And through Sunday, 12/23 Book Three is FREE.
Merry Christmas!
