In 1621, a French scientist, Pierre Gassendi, saw the lights in the north and named them after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora. He added the word "borealis" for the Roman god of the north wind, Boreas.

Although they look elegant and calm, aurorae are produced from millions of explosions of magnetic energy.

The Aurora Borealis is a portal of spiritual energies. When harnessed it can bring your awareness to all new levels.

The Lights symbolize all that is magical, mystical and unknown about the world. There are various myths and legends surrounding the Northern Lights. The locals believed that these dancing waves of color are our powerful guardian spirits; the spirits of our ancestors who come to meet and bless us. The native Cree people called it the Dance of the Spirits.
