Solstice Rituals

Winter Solstice (December 21 in the Northern Hemisphere) is a physical event and it is also an occasion for ritual and contemplation. In this program, Frieda Werden asks questions of two experienced practitioners of an earth-based, women-centred religion about what they do and how they came to their vocations. They also make suggestions for privately engaging with the darkest night. Our guests are Letecia Layson and Holin (Blackmoon) Kennen, both whom are high priestesses of Dianic Wicca in the Z. Budapest Line.
