The legend of the Oak King and the Holly King. On the Summer Solstice, the Oak King and Holly King fight, and the dark haired Holly King wins. Thus the world slowly begins to descend into darkness and winter. But on the Winter Solstice, the Oak King returns, before, and battles the Holly King, and this time the golden-haired Oak King wins! So the world begins its slow ascent into light and summer... until the reincarnated Holly King returns at Summer Solstice.

What are you doing with it? I wrote one very last year that change into really a modernization of a ritual to Mars as a god of agriculture (the Romans worshipped him some distance extra in that ingredient than as a god of warfare). this is largely a blessing for a field to be rich--my rewrite extra of a lot less knocked out the animal sacrifice and altered it.

I can give you reference to rituals of sabbaths mainly, litha(summer solstice) and beltane(may day). and the greek legend of persephone is one.
