For the next three days the sun will rise at the same point, and then after three days, the light will start increasing and the darkness decreasing. Usually the hero is born on the solstice, the day when the turnaround happens and the light starts to grow. We mark this celebration in different ways in different cultures and religions, but it shows a definite turning point in the cosmic pattern. May the Light also grow in our hearts, today and always!
