About this listen

Etymos podcast EP05

The Winter Solstice marks the end of Fall & the Beginning of Winter. Across hundreds of generations & innumerable cultures, it has been a day of celebration in recognition that it is the darkest night of the year, & thus lighter, more hopeful days are to follow. However, the depth of this cosmic & spiritual event does not end there.

In this special Advent & Christmas episode, Max discusses the symbolic significance of the Winter Solstice while also sharing a poetic essay of his. Plus, as a bonus, the episode is capped with readings of several ancient Anglo-Saxon Advent Lyrics, known as the O antiphons that act as portals to enter the mysteries of Christmas. Join us for this special reflection & celebration.
