The Goddess withdraws in to herself to heal as the Sun God has reached puberty and adolescence. His powers and strength grow stronger by the day.
IMBOLC
The old and tired Moon Goddess has kept to her promise and stayed with the young Sun God through his infancy and childhood, bringing him forth a little further each day to see his destiny that lays before him. As each day passed the Moon Goddess watched the young Sun God's confidence, energy and strength grow as she passed on all of the knowledge, wisdom and understanding she gained from their last life together.
But now the time has come for the Moon Goddess to rest and withdraw in to herself to reserve her own powers whilst the Sun God develops and matures, sweeping out the old and making way for the new. His strength, love and powers will rejuvenate the Goddess, bringing forth new beginnings, youthfulness and fertility.
