Lunar Eclipse on Solstice

Welcome to "The Gods Are Bored!" Stare at the sky? Why? Because it's there!

Tonight, smack dab on Solstice, there will be a total lunar eclipse. The bored gods have arranged this unusual celestial event to recognize the hard work of Pagans everywhere, toward the goal of re-establishing Divinity in all its fantastic pluralism.

And so, my friends, arise tonight in the darkest hours, wrap yourself in warm blankets, and behold a gift from Those Who Would Be Re-established!

Smile, Luna. All eyes are on You tonight. Blessed be Luna, now and forever.

  1. I'd wondered what this unusual occurrence could mean, but was clueless. I like your interpretation of it, though. :)

    Happy Yule!!! :D

  3. As night flows towards morning, the cloudy skies above also dim, in honor of this longest Dark.
    Faintly then, yet stronger every minute, the clouds re-brighten, cheering on the sun's rebirth.
    Soon, it will be Dawn! <3

    ((Pesky clouds! but I still stood outside for a bit every hour to watch for Sky, and be mindful of the Solstice))

Have at it. Except if you are an East Asian escort service. If the latter, you run the risk of a hex.
