"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Welcome.

Arbo, Dagr, 1874


The longest night has come once more,
The sun has set, and darkness fallen.
The trees are bare, the earth asleep,
And the skies are cold and black.

Yet tonight we rejoice, in this longest night,
Embracing the darkness that enfolds us.
We welcome the night and all that it holds,
As the light of the stars shines down.

Norse Solstice Prayer
