Merry Midsummer 2014

Midsummer

Tomorrow, June 21st, is Midsummer, Litha, and the Summer Solstice. What does this mean?

It’s the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. For this reason, the Summer Solstice is traditionally celebrated in the North.

On Midsummer, we celebrate the Sun at it’s full power and the element of Fire. Bonfires are built and candles are burned in honor of the God (masculine energy), the Goddess (fertility and love energy), and for protection. This is also a perfect time for celebrating committed relationships, attracting new love, and making wishes for the second half of the year.

The element of Water is called on for further cleansing and protection. Take a cleansing bath as the sun rises on the Solstice for ultimate strength.

Make a wish by projecting your intention into a stone and casting it into running water or a well.

Hang protective herbs above your doorway and windows. They will be especially powerful.

Or just enjoy the abundant magick that empowers this day!

Happy Winter Solstice and Yule 2013

by | Dec 21, 2013 | Other

Winter SolsticeTomorrow is the Winter Solstice or Yule. On this day, the sun halts its journey south in the sky, pauses, and then begins to move north. This means that it’s the shortest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere and the longest day in the Southern hemisphere.

The Winter Solstice is the perfect day for you to pause with the Sun, go within, and restore balance. You can draw on these astrological energies of the Sun’s rebirth for your own transformation. From this day on the Sun will slowly begin to illuminate our lives more and more every day until the next Solstice. Let go of all that has been holding you back during these dark months, and turn your focus on building up your energies for a positive goal.

It is traditional to light a flame – whether a candle or a fire – to welcome back the Sun and bless your home, your loved ones, and yourself. Red, green, white or blue candles are common, and you can decorate it with evergreens (pine, mistletoe, juniper, cedar, rosemary) and other seasonal items. Remember – it’s bad luck to blow out the candle. Use a snuffer or tongs to pinch it out instead.

However you celebrate the holidays this season, we wish you great joy and blessings!
