Litha Blessings to you all!
The summer is a special time for me. From Beltane to Midsummer I have a lot more energy, my bones hurt a lot less and I’m not struggling with the cold in quite the same way. I am filled with optimism, hope and enthusiasm.
The land ~ the world ~ feels different. There is a different vibration; an intensity. I feel very connected to the land in a way that I don’t even know how to explain. I can feel the magick coursing through the air; everything feels very alive and interconnected. Spirits and entities feel close at hand. When I walk the land it feels like someone is walking beside me.
But it is bittersweet, too. The longer days and shorter nights are drawing to a close. It seems like we’ve only just moved away from the winter, and yet after this period of standstill (the Solstice) it’s time to swing back the other way. I know the darkness is a long way off, and I try to put the sadness to the back of my mind; but it’s there…
But for now, celebration! The Sun has reached its peak; its energy at full power. This is a last chance for reflection before we harvest what we have sown the previous year. I didn’t plan to get up for sunrise this morning, but woke up ten minutes before meaning I got outside and enjoyed the Sun.
Enjoy the long, warm day; and if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere have a happy Winter Solstice. The Wheel turns once more.
