Winter Solstice : December 21st Category: Lesser Sabbat
This is the Night of the Three Mothers, Mother Night and the New Born Sun. It is where the light begins to increase. The full moon after the Solstice is considered the strongest of the entire year. This Full moon I'll cover in later chapters.
"I call upon the Goddess in all Her aspects. I call upon the Maiden, the Mother, and the Wise Crone to be here with me this night. The darkness that held sway is retreating before the increasing light. The God is once more born from the cauldron as the newborn Solstice sun." (D.J. Conway 286) From Wicca the Complete Craft.
*--The Year now ending, this is the last Sabbat of the year, but thought of as the first sabbat of the Solar year. Yes, this extrodinary sabbat goes along with the thirteen moons of the year....as I'll cover the Full Moon, New Moon, Waxing and Waning Moons later.
