Calling it a bun, I meant.

So....we're just calling it a bunch? Cool. The need to make masculine by using man as a prefix always seems forced.

I allow have a FB group at the moment to submit pics www.facebook.com/groups/45055...

Listen here and for $1 you can buy the song and support the artist. It's one of my life's works to see this song sung everywhere. It deserves to be a known.

3. Light the other candles from the first. A stick of incense helps. Make sure to have a bowl of sand to put the incense into. Carry the candles about your home, one for each room, while singing the song. A flame is not diminished when lighting others.

Be safe. Don't leave candles unattended.

2. Light a single candle.
Play "One Small Candle" from the album Beautiful Darkness by Jessica Radcliffe. Sing along and take the time to meditate on the flame.

1.
Perform on the night before Winter Solstice Day, or whenever your family observes. Gather a collection of safe candle holders and prepare to light. Turn off most of the electric lights in the home. You can leave Holiday Tree Lights or Twinkles for safety.

My family once laughed ridiculously at me as tried multiple times to get a voice search to understand me saying anemone. Importantly, I am from Texas.

Down Through the Winters by the The Portland Revels.
This Revels album is a soothing balm. Mix of Medieval and Trad, as well as spoken word. "The Year" tells the wheel of the year towards the Winter Solstice. The perfect companion with the great poem that all the Revels use, "The Shortest Day".

Through the Bitter Frost and Snow: By Susan McKeown and Lindsey Horner. A favorite in our home. Bold Orion is one I sing to myself all the time, watching him rise as Winter comes on. "Winter King" is another stellar original. "Green Growth The Holly" is the best arrangement of that trad song.

Shane Odom
Song of Solstice by Jennifer Cutting's Ocean Orchestra. Our friends band, Jennifer Cutting & Stephen Winick. Includes a Green Man song which was inspired by my Green Man Order, which she and Stephen are members of. "Light the Winter's Dark" is a hymn for the light of all the prophets.

On the Solstice, weather allowing, we light our bonfire, turn off all lights in the home, and then bring in one candle lite from the fire. We use this flame to light many others, scattering the light about the home, while singing this song.

Beautiful Darkness: Celebrating the Winter Solstice by Jessica Ruby Radcliffe , Lisa Ekström & Martin Simpson. Enchanting mix with some traditional and spoken word. Notably is "One Small Candle" and it a personal mission to spread that song far and wide. Our family Solstice ritual uses it.
