This excerpt is taken from Chapter 23 of EOLYN, which recounts a celebration of Winter Solstice.
Winter Solstice, by the way, is coming up this week, and will be accompanied by a full lunar eclipse the night of Monday, December 20, around midnight. I'll be staying up for that one -- let's hope the skies over Kansas City are clear!
I want to let you know I'm going take a break from this blog over the holidays. I will, of course, respond to any comments you leave, but no new posts until after Christmas and New Years. When I come back in January, we will be heading into some very exciting times -- The final countdown for the release of EOLYN, scheduled for May 6.
Well, on to the audio recording. This is a long one...about eleven minutes. But, like I said, it's the last you'll be hearing from me for a little while, so you can always break it up if you like -- four minutes now, four minutes next Sunday, three minutes the following week, and by then we'll be good to go with brand new material for 2011.
I want to thank all of you for sharing in the journey of EOLYN these past few months. May the holidays bring you much rest and companionship, and many opportunities for celebration. And may at least one of your dreams come true in the New Year.
I found the image for this video online. It is entitled "Yule Witch", and the best I could do for tracking down a credit was to find a person called "EcoWitch" who apparently posted it on photobucket.com So, I'm really not sure who the original artist is. If you happen to know, please drop me a line so I can give proper credit.
Similarly, I don't have a proper credit for the 'merrie dancers' image I used for this post; I obtained it online at barleyhall.org.uk
