Summer solstice

 Today Marks the beginning of summer with the longest day and shortest night of the year. The day before the strawberry moon.

Lots of people will be celebrating today with food festivals, Music and celebration's are you planning on celebrating? 

Why do we celebrate the summer solstice?

Spiritually the sunlight is metaphoric of the light shining brightest through the darkness, the illuminating suns energy gives what we planted in the spring the sunlight it needs to bloom and grow and that means in ourselves as well as the fruits and flowers, the summers energy is about patience, seeing what comes to fruition again physically yes but inside ourselves too. 

When you celebrate Summer Solstice it’s a way of giving back to the universe, a way of saying Thankyou if you will for warming up the earth, giving us lighter and longer days needed to nourish and replenish. 

Many people will go to Stone Henge a place I am still yet to go and excited for, some will light fires going into the evening whilst playing joyful music, some will meditate to the new energy that is here, others will set an alter to give thanks and many others will indulge in self care and journal, there is no right or wrong way to celebrate the Summer Solstice, however you feel most comfortable what ever you do make sure you enjoy it and don’t worry that others do it differently. 

Today I have enjoyed the sun, I will arrange my altar with flowers crystals and give thanks to the sun and tomorrow I will look forward to the Strawberry Moon (excited) 

The 6th new moon of the year and a beautiful one too… 

Come back tomorrow for some Strawberry Moon Magic

And of course, a very happy Summer Solstice, blessings.
