Each year I encounter something that most Pagans know, but the general public is oddly oblivious to. People who casually complain about the dark and don’t know about the shortest day of the year, or even when it is. I know this because that is when I mention that soon enough the days will be getting longer they blankly stare at me and say, “Really? When?” It becomes very hard not to do a face palm each time I encounter this, and its frequent. So I feel compelled to talk about the Real reason for the season.

Aristarchus had determined that it was the earth that revolved around the sun during his lifetime in 310 BC – ca. 230 BC. But we’ve still since refer to the sun rising and setting over earth. Why don’t we try to rectify that?
