UU World: Winter Solstice and the Shaman Within
The dwindling of the sun’s light in autumn is a reminder that even as the old year dies, so must all living things. The shaman helps the tribe to accept this universal dying, to understand it is necessary for new life.

In this time when foliage has all but disappeared, we look to the trees whose evergreen boughs offer us hope.
