SEASONAL PANTHEIST TRADITIONS: For solstices and equinoxes try the seasonal mandala idea illustrated here. The central candle represents the sun, five candles around represent the earth's lithosphere (air, brown), hydrosphere (water, light blue), atmosphere (air, dark blue), biosphere (life, green)and noosphere (humans, light brown). Collected objects represent each one of these.
The twelve days’ period spanning the Winter Solstice and New Year’s Day is celebrated by some Pantheists as the Festival of Light. Pantheists may choose to meditate in turn on each of the key Pantheist values assigned to each month of the year, and pledge to uphold these values in the New Year.
20 December - Cosmos
21 December - Nature
22 December - Environment
23 December - Humanity
24 December - Love
25 December - Unity
26 December - Freedom
27 December - Virtue
28 December - Peace
29 December - Beauty
30 December - Knowledge
31 December - Joy
As the Sun sets, a new candle is lit, so that progressively by 31 December a total of twelve candles will be burning. A Beatitude has been prepared for each of the twelve values, and may be recited at the lighting of each new candle.

You did not give the photographer credit, therefore I suspect you do not have specific permission to use his photo. Please do rectify this appalling copyright infringement - get permission and give proper credit where it is due!
