    What It Is

    The Sun stands still at its southernmost point and begins its return. The Oak King is reborn from the Holly King. The unconquered Sun (Sol Invictus) rises again.

    How to Observe It

    Keep a small vigil tonight — a candle, a fire, a lit tree. What you tend in the deepest dark is what returns with the light.
