This Songbook celebrates the cycles of Nature-Birth, Life, and Death-through the changing Seasons (the Turning of the Wheel) from Autumn's abundance, for which we give thanks, to Winter's "Dead Time," when even the warmth of the Sun leaves us, and the world goes dark and cold. It is a celebration of both the Light and the Dark, since both are Sacred and both are needed for new Life to grow and flourish. This Song Book is also filled with glorious artwork, Solstice poetry, and writings on the Solstice from Glenys Livingstone, PhD. , Kay Louise Aldred, Mary Saracino, Kat Shaw, Rebekah Myers, and Sharon Smith. Songs of Solstice also includes an essay by Laura Shannon on the Goddess origins of the word "Hallelujah. " "Not everyone is Christian. Many of us, who prefer a Nature-centered, Goddess-based spirituality, rooted in our own EIK (European Indigenous Knowledge), have found deep meaning in the Solstice, Equinox and Sabbat celebrations, and enjoy singing songs that are based upon these sacred days/times of the year. We, at Girl God Books, decided to create this special songbook with re-imagined Christmas carols and songs (only those in the public domain were used) to honor the original intent of late December, the Longest Night of the Year, known as the Winter Solstice. So, decorate that evergreen, set the Yule log ablaze, put on the Wassail, light the candles, and lift your voices in celebration. " -Sharon Smith from her Introduction to Songs of Solstice
