Mithra is the reason for the season

I'm not celebrating christmas but only the winter solstice. The winter solstice is the time of year when the sun is at its lowest noontime, which coincides with the shortest day. This occurs when the Earth's rotation axis is tilted most away from the sun. I also read this unbearably exciting book which unfolds here in Reine and Vindstad. In three days. Now I want to go to Vindstad even more than before so I have a plan for weekend two next year. The ferry only leaves every second week so one must plan. This saturday I went to Ostad to look for some more urban art but took a wrong turn, found a new interesting gravel road / path and ended up in Steinfjord. Sunday I also went to hike on my own on the other side of Kraemmervika, since everyone is so busy with doing these christmas things....

Happy Winter Solstice - Embrace the Light
