Happy Solstice!

[Kahuna Burger]

In just under 4 hours where I am, the longest night of the year begins. Which means, among other things, that the light situation will start getting better instead of worse. So Happy New Year to the Northern hemisphere, and hoping there will be light to your longest night.

Eerie Dreary Solstice

From the HPLHS Solstice Carol Songbook green edition. Sung to the tune of Holly Jolly Christmas.

Have an eerie dreary Solstice
'Coz the stars are right this year
You'll be slain, or go insane
With Old Ones drawing Near

Have an eerie dreary Solstice
And when you go down the street
through the gloom to certain doom
You'll cringe at what you meet

Why try the Elder Sign?
Such a useless tool.
Something there waits for you,
A way to die so cruel

Have an eerie dreary Solstice.
Filled with perfidy and fear.
It's no theory have an eerie dreary
Solstice this year!!

I guess that means it's time to break out the mead and flagons.

Note to self: acquire flagons.

ooooohhhhh.......

A friend of mine made non-alcoholic mead for a gathering. It was very sweet. So you can probably find a recipe somewhere. I don't think it's difficult to make.

Also nice, and from here:

Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars are now right.
Eons have passed: now then at last
Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!
They will return: mankind will learn
New kinds of fear when they are here.
They will reclaim all in their name;
Hopes turn to black when they come back.
Ignorant fools, mankind now rules
Where they ruled then: it's theirs again

Stars brightly burning, boiling and churning
Bode a returning season of doom

Scary scary scary scary solstice
Very very very scary solstice

Up from the sea, from underground
Down from the sky, they're all around
They will return: mankind will learn
New kinds of fear when they are here

Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars are now right.
Eons have passed: now then at last
Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!
Madness will reign, terror and pain
Woes without end where they extend.
Ignorant fools, mankind now rules
Where they ruled then: it's theirs again

Stars brightly burning, boiling and churning
Bode a returning season of doom

Scary scary scary scary solstice
Very very very scary solstice

Up from the sea, from underground
Down from the sky, they're all around.

Fear

(Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars now are right)

They will return.

Cheers, LT.

Happy winter solstice. Let the snowfall commence.

World, revolve, winters come.
World, revolve winters go.
Humanity bangs its drum,
When they're done their fliterring to and fro.
