Powerful night for Wiccans and other Pagans.

[SFC Ollie]

It seems that the first time in about 380 years there will be a full lunar eclipse on the winter solstice. My bet is that many Wicans and other Pagans will be celebrating most of the night tonight. And as an added attraction this one will be topped off by the Ursid meteor shower.

Should be a hell of a show for sky watchers of any religion.

Actually it's been 456 years since the lunar eclipse occurred on the Winter Solstice. Sadly, it's cloudy and rainy here. I would have loved to have seen it.

Happy Solstice Eclipse Ollie!!!

Hmm, my source said 372 years. 1638 being the last time. Not that it matters; none of us was there to see it.....

 

[SFC Ollie]

So a Happy Yule to all those who might celebrate it.

Merry meet and Blessed be.

Wednesday night is water nymph night.

It is snowing now and expected to change to freezing rain in the morn here.

Technically the eclipse occurs before the winter solstice. The solstice occurs at 6:38 pm EST on December 21st. Even though the eclipse occurs on the same day it is during the previous night/morning. So in ancient times this event would have no connection because a day will have seperated it. It is only in this media driven society that there is a a connection.

It would great to experience this from Stonehenge. There's usually a crowd each year.
