Summer Solstice Magic

 

The Doorway Opens

Magic, renewal and Light are abundant and ripe with delight during the solstice on June 20/June 21. Known as one of the most powerful days for spiritual growth and healing, the veil is thinnest at this time. This solstice will bring in new Light of higher vibration, of expansion and opportunities. You may feel a bit up and down, see shadow and light, take action and need calm. As the veil lifts and the gateway to otherworlds open, you may have profound visions, feelings, thoughts, visitations (think Fae and Star beings). The veil is that other place, the place of other dimension, reality, world--the one right here on this Earthstar. The one living along side us. The one some of us remember as home of ancestry. When the solstice opens this doorway that bridges our world (reality) and the otherworld, you can have a glimpse, a message, a learning, and expansion, an understanding, a connection, a relationship with the beings that live alongside us teaching us (or hiding from us). You only need to tune in with an open heart. Intend to connect--to see, feel, know, heal and remember. Below are ways in which you can celebrate this time when day and night are equal (Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine).

1. Dance, sing, tell stories, read poems--celebrate with others. Or, celebrate with the Fae. 

2. Gather plants and healing herbs, such as these Celtic sacred plants that are associated with Midsummer: St. John’s Wort, Rose, Lemon Balm, Thyme, Lavender, Rosemary, Chamomile, Meadowsweet (one of my favorites) and Mugwort, and Ancients and moderns peoples alike believe herbs are at their most potent on the Summer Solstice.

3. Create a spiral walk with stones, tea lights, crystals, wood, in the sand, or visualize one. Then walk it.

4. Create a bundle of flowers to place outside or around your home.

5. Keep a sacred fire burning. This can be a small fire such as a candle on your table or on an altar. Or you may want to create a bonfire with friends.

6. Leave offerings to the Fae, the Earth, and animals. These can be in the forms of seeds, crystals you have blessed, planting a tree or leaving water for bees.

Think about how summer brings the opportunity to cultivate and deepen our connection to life all around us-- like created by the Divine. Take a moment to contemplate your gratitude and living in gratitude. Take a moment to think about what you can do to live in balance and harmony with all being on this beautiful Earth and the Earth herself.

Dance with intention. Dance with abandon. Dance in harmony. Dance to your heart's rhythm. Allow it to open your sight, your senses, your truth. Magic is all around you. Love encompasses you--you are love. Your light emanates from your very being. With keen ears listen now-can you hear it? Your heart is humming a sacred tune only you can hear. It's Light is asking you to dance along with joy, faith and delight. Your heart is your compass-your guide, always. Listen, listen.. the beats of your heart creating a song. One step is all it takes to begin. And now is the time. It is time to begin. And one..
