Since this month is December it's time to start getting ready for Alban Arthan. Alban Arthan is known as Yule, or the Winter Solstice. The Celts viewed this as the last feast holiday before deep winter began. It's a time that the sun is further away from the earth but the sun is coming back and the warm days will come with it. On the other side of the world the beginning of summer comes upon and they get to enjoy the warm weather.
The sun god is born on this day and the journey towards him mating with the goddess begins. After Alban Arthan, I will start thinking about Imbolc, or the first spring festival. Since I'm also honoring the Norse holiday known as Midwinter I will be lighting a candle for each of the twelve days, leaving my altar out for a week, and putting things away. I hope that you all will have a good Alban Arthan.
