Here, in the Northern Hemisphere, the air ripens, heat intensifies, and time slows on this longest day of the year. Known in the Gaelic calendar as Litha, it’s a wonderful time of celebration. We honor sunlight and its life giving and preserving qualities, and our own brightness and light. Astrologically, we welcome Cancer Season, all that is nurturing and connected. We crave closeness, time with those we hold most dear, emotional bonds, the familiar. Light a bonfire, dance under the stars and delight in this Earth’s immense beauty. |
