A couple of years ago a very Conscious friend of mine recommended Star Gates by Corinne Heline. It is a book that looks at the Winter and Summer Solstice/Fall and Spring Equinoxes as Liturgical Seasons in and of themselves. It has been a joy to read.

In my Mediation of the Winter Solstice, Gabriel’s “jurisdiction”, the longing for Light to Awaken in my own Shadowed places led me to a Meditation that I have never really participated in before:
Being Present to the Rising of the Sun
and the Going Down of the Same
as my own Rite over the Solstice ~ Christ Mass Season.

Oh Great Spirit,
The Sacred Pacific Salmon are dying.

The Salmon that has given its life
to the Orca
the Bears,
The Land
& the Trees.....
To Us, the Children of the Earth.

Years ago, when I first read the Earth Sea Fantasy “Trilogy” by Ursula K. Le Guin, I was blown away by the main character’s encounter of a Dark Destructive Source. “Ged” had pursued his “enemy” through Towns and Wildernesses in search of the Name for His Nemesis….for that was the “key” to defeat ‘him’. In the final “show down” the name that came through Ged’s lips to address the Dark Entity was His OWN.
