WINTER SOLSTICE CEREMONY 2023
Sunday December 17. 2023 at 10:30 am (Eastern Time)
Grandmother Medicine Song is inviting our Circling Community to come together and join her LIVE for a Ceremonial teaching on the Winter Solstice.
For the Hopi, the Winter Solstice is called the Soyal time. Soyal is the ceremony practiced by the Hopi that is intended to establish the mood for the coming year. Preparation for Soyal begins the day following the New Fire Ceremony and lasts until the actual Soyal Ceremony (usually around the date of the Winter Solstice).
The arrival of the Soyal at winter solstice opens the Kachina season on Third Mesa every year. The Soyal Kachina emerges from the kiva and walks slowly, as if very old or just awakened from a long sleep. Soyal stumbles and weaves while the people reach out to help him. He sings in a low, weak voice as he sprinkles cornmeal and places pahos at the kiva.
Please join us during this time of Ceremony. Thank you so much for your assistance in this sacred turning of the wheel.
Blessing in your Walk.
