The sun God: The Wheel of the year

Different mythologies can be found for the wheel of the year, the seasonal cycles. Two of them are most prominent in Wicca: The Sun God, who is born in winter, grows with the sun in strength, courts the Goddess, grows old and dies only to be reborn again, and the mythology of the two Gods who rule for half a year and do battle at the equinoxes. For this meditation series, I will stick with the mythology of the Sun God. We will meet Him eight times around the wheel.
At the winter solstice, he is born, the sun child, the promise that the light will return, that life will be fruitful once again. The winter solstice is the longest night, and from now on, the days grow longer again. At February Eve, or Imbolc, this influence can be felt, and the days are much longer again, yet it is still winter. He has grown into an adolescent by now. At spring equinox, He is a young man. Day and night are of equal length, and the return of spring can be felt. At Beltane, He is courting the Goddess. Their love brings fertility to the land, and He begets his son. At summer solstice, He is at the peak of His strength, just like the sun on the longest day of the year. From now on, His strength decreases slowly, until the harvest festivals. The first one is August Eve, or Lugnasad, when the harvest starts. The next one is autumn equinox, when day and night are again of equal length. The God ages, and looses his strength until Samhain, the last of the harvest festivals. Now He dies, and the days grow even shorter, until winter solstice, when His child, the sun child, is born once again and begins the cycle anew.
