✨The winter solstice or mothers' night✨

The pre-Christian Anglo-Saxons called the night of the winter solstice Modranecht, mothers' night. For the luni-solar calendar of the Germanic tribes, the winter solstice was the most important anchor date. All subsequent festivals and dates were calculated according to the phases of the moon, in their relationship to the winter solstice. The old year ended at the solstice, but the new year only began with the new moon that followed.

The winter solstice is the decisive date for the passage of time and future fate. The name, mothers' night, suggests a connection with the cult of matrons or mothers. This is not surprising. In the pagan tribes of northern and central Europe, the sun is female, often she is the mother of the stars or a younger daughter of the sun.

This is why such an important sun festival was associated with female mother goddesses.

The Mother's Night and the motherly goddesses are closely connected to the sun, because the sun itself is the great mother goddess of the north.
The sun goddess survived in the Matrons, in the Freya cult, in Frigg, in Frau Holle, in Percht and in numerous myths.
She survived in the (Insular Celtic) stories about the radiant Bridget (the great sun) and the veiled Cailleach (small sun).
She survived in the stories about the shining people in the hills and in the countless sun symbols that our ancestors left us in such large numbers.
How important the winter solstice has been to people in Europe for many millennia is shown by numerous burial mounds as well as circles and temple complexes that are aligned with the solstice and made it visible and tangible for people more than 5000 years ago.

I wish YOU a magical solstice - illuminating Rauhnachten and above all a blessed time!

Whatever name you give it, this is the festival of the sun, the festival of light, the festival of soul power.

In honor of the nurturing, caring and soon-to-be-strength sun and it is the festival of her children.
