It’s a deep, deep mystery. The potent winter Sun (god) is born at the Winter Solstice, when the day begins its journey back into prominence over night.
Regardless of the specific name of this god –– and there have been many –– we’re talking here about the birth of the Divine Light out of the Darkness. The renewal or resurrection of the “invincible sun,” as the Romans called it. “The invincible sun.” Can you feel it?
Outwardly, it’s our resident star, that immense manifestation of Fire Spirit, of Divine Consciousness. Ra, Amun, Atum, Horus, Osiris, Helios, Apollo, Mithras, Jesus Christ. And goddesses, too: Amaterasu, Wadjet, Sekhmet, Hathor, Nut, Bast, Bat, and Menhit. Inwardly, it’s our own eternally burning flame, a holographic replica of that larger Divine Reality. At this time of the great cosmic turning, from the perspective of Mother Earth even the Sun must restore itself. And (as above, so below), so must we. Out of the darkest night, the seed of light begins its journey back to blazing zenith.
This mystery is in our bodies. Our lives work better if we deeply honor it. For doing so reminds us of our own unconquerable light. It renews us in countless seen & unseen ways.
With love,
Marguerite
