Gruffydd y Dryw Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Tonight near midnight is the official winter solstice. In the Druid tradition it is called Alban Arthan or Arthuan, meaning the light of the Bear (the constellation) or Arthur (the legendary king). It also the time when the Holly King, symbolized by the wren, is killed by the Oak King, symbolized by the robin. I am not too keen on this part since I am a holly according to Graves' tree calendar and the "dryw" in my name means "wren" as well as Druid because of their close association. But my imminent death aside, I wanted to wish everyone and their families a Happy Solstice, Yule, Christmas, or whatever other holiday you celebrate at this time of year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
