The shortest day and the longest night – the time that our Ancestors called “mid-winter” is that time that tells us that Nature is still working. If the day remained short, and the night was long, then the rotation of the planet changed.
Our Ancestors had elaborate rituals to ensure that the planet kept turning, or, as they thought, that the Sun kept revolving around the Earth.
The diagram below shows the angle of the Sun in the north. Now, with all of the availability of science, we no longer look to the sky to see what will happen. We have dropped doing the rituals and doing the work to keep the Sun going.
