For many cultures around the world, the winter solstice (which falls on Dec. 21, 2021) marks an important milestone. It’s the shortest day of the year and the longest night of the year, and signals a powerful transition point between seasons that is impossible to ignore. Because of this, it has been celebrated and revered in ancient civilizations, by indigenous cultures, and various religions. The winter solstice celebrates the rebirth of the sun and is believed to hold a powerful energy for regeneration, renewal and self-reflection. In Pagan times the winter solstice was referred to as Yule and was a celebration of the Goddess (Moon) energy. It was believed that on this day, the moon would give birth to the sun. >>>>>Please note ship ping times and contact us should you need your jewelry for a specific date <<<<<<< Visit us at https://tandbrie.com for more about T and Brie, all of our jewels and our artistic process.
