New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| A long time ago, Raven looked down from the sky and saw that the people of the world were living in darkness. Raven wanted the ball of light, which was hidden in sky-world by a selfish chief. So Raven turned itself into a spruce needle and floated on the river where the chief's daughter came to drink. She drank the spruce needle, became pregnant, and gave birth to a boy, who was Raven in disguise. The baby cried until the chief gave him the ball of light to play with. Then Raven turned back into himself and carried the light high into the sky. From then on, the people no longer lived in darkness. Celebrate Raven's gift today, on the solstice. Turn off every light in your home. Read Raven's story aloud, then turn on lights and light candles until your home fairly glows with brilliance.
Rejoice in Raven's gift! |
