Today is the shortest day of the year for Aotearoa New Zealand.
Otherwise known as the Winter Solstice, it marks the point when half of the earth is the furthest from the sun.
And for many cultures and faiths it's a important time of year.
For those who follow the Wiccan traditions it's a time to reflect and gather with friends and family.
Rowan of Wycksted runs an online wiccan store selling all manner of magical and witchy items.
She is knee deep in preparations for the celebrations tonight, so we thought we'd check in and learn what a wiccan solstice party looks like. Rowan speaks to Mark.
