Five Myths About Christmas

by Robert Wilkinson

I published this last year. It's from the WaPo, and the link is still good. It's a light piece by Father James Martin titled Five Myths About Christmas. Most of you may already know the myths, but it's a good piece by "The Colbert Report chaplain" that deserves a look. Merry and Happy!

A 2012 RIP Video Birthday to Maurice and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees

by Robert Wilkinson

Here's a great Solstice/Christmas gift! Today we send up best RIP Birthday wishes to Maurice and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees. These twins, with their Virgo genius songwriting brother Barry, gave us tunes that have echoed across time, and been some of the most memorable in history. While most remember them as the soundtrack for the disco era, today we'll go much farther back (mainly) to the era of the 1967 Summer of Love and 1968 for some of the most amazing and haunting tunes ever crafted, sung by Robin Gibb.

Happy Winter Solstice 2012 - Part 1

by Robert Wilkinson

Winter Solstice 2012 occurs at 3:12 am PST, 6:12 am EST, 11:12 am Greenwich, on Dec 21, 2012. This is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and from here the Solar force will get longer and stronger, a welcome relief for those of us who need lots of sunshine to keep our dispositions equally sunny. The Winter Solstice is a special time for me, where I do a specific ritual every year that yields great results. I’ll explain after we discuss the Solstice chart.

Evolutionary Astrology in 2012 - What Does Humanity’s Emergent Ascension Look Like?

by Robert Wilkinson

Since we’re on the threshold of an evolutionary leap, I figured I’d revisit some key principles of this “emergent ascension.” We know we’re in the middle of a long term collective awakening, and the future will look much different than the past.

by Robert Wilkinson

For those who didn’t catch it last year, here’s an interesting piece of history. I knew the tradition of the Tannenbaum originated in Northern Europe, and figured that's where our tradition of the Christmas Tree came to be a big deal in America. It turns out the real story is one about marketing for women and primitive photoshopping.
