December

"December" is depicted as a magical time of mystic enchantment and twilight dreams.  Father Time as Old Man Winter gives shelter to wintering birds adorning his beard like jeweled ornaments.  The hybrid warrior battles the great Raven spirit of the sky to rescue the sun at winter solstice - he is the centaurian archer representing the zodiac sign of Sagittarius.
