On Wednesday, December 16th, I attended an event that was conducted by Egyptologist Anthony Browder about the connection between Kemetic (Egyptian) Spirituality and practices and Christianity. From the two hour lecture, the one topic that stood out to me was about the Winter Solstice which begins December 21st. Astronomically, the Winter Solstice marks the beginning of shortening nights and lengthening days, however it also is the period when the sun is still. Following the Winter Solstice is a full moon that appears on December 25th, which in Kemetic faith is recognized as the birth of the sun and the enhancement of solar energies by a full moon.
During the period of December 21st-24th, it is the most opportune time to align our bodies with our spiritual self. Society has conditioned us to believe that during the Holiday season we should attend multiple events, buy gifts for loved ones and people we could care less about and to rip and run to make sure we have things we do not need, however we should spend more time to be still and prepare for the new year. Listed below are a few things one can do to align with your spiritual self.
