Significant in early times, the Solstice was viewed as a mystical omen of hope. It reminded us that every year our darkest days inevitably give way to light - especially meaningful in view of war and unrest around the world and here at home. May we achieve peace - and live in the light. We’re keeping the ticket prices low, our Solstice gift to you - join us!
Now the days grow a little longer, a little shorter each night
Touch this flame to another candle in this season of light
With lights in every window on our houses and trees
We’ll push away the darkness for a new year of peace.
-Magpie
