Winter Solstice Heirloom Carousel

<< Prev page

No matter our spiritual persuasion, taking time to appreciate the gradual transition of the seasons helps us feel more a part of the huge web of life on earth, invites us to slow down, and in the process, recognize what is truly important to us.

By mid-December, when the days have become so noticeably short, when night settles in practically before the kids are off the school bus, it is part of being human to yearn for more light. Our ancient ancestors calculated the exact moment the sun would be at its nadir and that from that moment forward it would be with us just a little bit longer each day for the next half year.

Our very ancient ancestors didn't know exactly when to expect it, but were ecstatic to know that at one point the gradually disappearing sun had not, in fact, deserted them, and that it was returning for those extra minutes each day. This seasonal miracle has prompted humans since the beginning of time to celebrate the return of the sun, the return of the light.

Our Winter Solstice Heirloom Carousel honors our connection not only with those who have gone before us, but our connection with the life-giving sun. The heat from the 4 included candles powers the precision-made carousel carrying a carved woodland scene. Hand-crafted in Germany and truly an heirloom, it will be a joyous addition to your holiday traditions. Light the candles and know that the darkness enveloping us now allows the earth to sleep and restore in preparation for the fertile and abundant months ahead.
