According to pagan folklore, evil spirits would appear on the summer solstice. To ward off evil spirits, people would wear protective garlands of herbs and flowers. In 2012, the journal DIO found that accuracy of one or two hours with balanced errors can be attained by observing the Sun's equal altitudes about S = twenty degrees (or d = about 20 days) before and after the summer solstice because the average of the two times will be early by q arc minutes where q is (πe cosA)/3 times the square of S in degrees (e = earth orbit eccentricity, A = earth's perihelion or Sun's apogee), and the noise in the result will be about 41 hours divided by d if the eye's sharpness is taken as one arc minute. This is a Divinely guided opportunity to take a quantum leap in expanding your consciousness, and healing every level of your being…The winter solstice is upon us and with it the longest night of the year.

The seasons occur because the Earth's axis of rotation is not perpendicular to its orbital plane (the plane of the ecliptic) but currently makes an angle of about 23.44° (called the obliquity of the ecliptic), and because the axis keeps its orientation with respect to an inertial frame of reference. As a consequence, for half the year the Northern Hemisphere is inclined toward the Sun while for the other half year the Southern Hemisphere has this distinction. The two moments when the inclination of Earth's rotational axis has maximum effect are the solstices.The word equinox comes from the Latin aequinoctium meaning 'equal night'. Why don't the solstices and equinoxes happen on the same days every year? The changing seasons, much like the cycles of sowing and harvesting, have always been key points within the human life cycle. The continued changing of seasons also represents the corresponding stages of your inner journey.

Spiritual Solstice Celebration

On the equinox, the length of day and night are only nearly equal. This is because the Sun appears as a disk in the sky, and the top half rises above the horizon before the centre. As well as this sunlight is refracted by the Earth's atmosphere. The Sun, therefore, appears to rise before its centreat the horizon, giving more daylight than you might expect (12 hours 10 minutes on the equinox).
