Summer Solstice, A Time for Magic & Rituals ~ June 21st, 2019

The Solstice marks a turning point, a shift in our manifested and unseen realities, and is the bringer of a heightened awareness in nature and consciousness. Most cultures of the Northern Hemisphere mark Midsummer in some ritualized manner, and in ancient times, the Summer Solstice was a fire-festival of great importance, which ritually honored the sun.

The law of attraction and any sorts of magic is well used today, perhaps using affirmation to draw the things you seek into your life. This is also a time for reflection and to turn the page, so look back on the time at the Winter Solstice. Where were you then in your life? What has happened, month by month, since then? Look at all areas of your life; Relationships, family, work, social life - Was it a time of growth, establishment or was it a time when you released something?

Make a ritual for yourself. First, whatever you don't want to take with you into next cycle, be it feelings, behaviors, people or situations, then write it down on a piece of paper and burn it. Next, light a candle for the things you WANT in your life, write it down and save it somewhere hidden.

This is a time when the Cosmos is holding and supporting us, when we’re allowed to release anything, we’ve been keeping in. Magic comes when we surrender into trust. So leave it to the Universe, try not stick your nose into it during the process, and wonders will unfold when and where you least expect.
 
Spark your inspiration and Happy Summer Solstice and Midsummer!
