“Let there be peace in the North
Let there be peace in the South
Let there be peace in the East
Let there be peace in the West
Let there be peace throughout the world”

Brighter days to come
The winter solstice is the exact point when the Earth's pole reaches its maximum tilt away from the sun
The stones of Stonehenge have silently marked the #wintersolstice for thousands of years
There’s a saying: God is sleeping in the stones

Older than Stonehenge & the Pyramids but much less famous is Newgrange in Ireland
Its mound is made of quartz & granite: home to passageways & a single tomb
At dawn on the #WinterSolstice its middle chamber is illuminated by a ray of sunlight shining directly through an opening

Solstice derives from the Latin meaning “sun stands still” because, for about three days, the sun appears in the same place on the horizon before moving back in the opposite direction going the other way
It’s #SummerSolstice in the Southern Hemisphere

One thing I should point out - as is clear from this thread - is that whilst there were some Druids & drummers & pagans there, the vast majority of people there yesterday were very ‘normal’
