Summer Solstice

Summer Solistice is noted for being the longest day and shortest night of the year. It is also known as Midsummer Nights Celebration, though the two do not always coincide on the calendar. This holiday represents the Sun King in all his glory. It is also the night when Puck and Pan and all other fairies and elves are out and about, offering an excellent opportunity to commune with field and forest sprites and faeries. The day night of Summer Solstice is filled with great power and magic. This is a wonderful time to hold rituals that luxuriate in the season when life is easiest and there are so many hours of daylight that e can accomplish all of our tasks with time reserved for having fun and relaxing. Plus it is a great time to for business needs or a situation where the power of male energy is needed. Summer Solstice is a time to travel and hold great celebrations of passion and success, to sleep and cook eat outdoors. We journey to visit one another and call all the tribes of pagan folk to come and make merry together.

Sunflowers or any other flower of red and maize yellow or gold are great altar decorations. A wreath can be made for your door with red feathers (for sexuality) and yellow feathers (for prosperity) intertwined or braided with ivy. Altar candles should be gold and red.

Money tree plants can be harvested and strung above the mantle for monetary wealth, or tied in a bunch with green ribbon, provided there has been an early planting season. If not wait until mid-July for harvest.
