Today is Summer Solstice!


We are one with the infinite Sun
Forever and ever and ever!

Every Summer Solstice, my Rare One and I like to sing this chant as we walk around our back yard and garden. We drum to the plants and trees, encouraging them to take full advantage of the longest day of the year. The Green Man supervises us from His spot on the little garden shed.

One year a neighbour heard our drumming and inquired about it a few days later. She subsequently came to my drumming circle a few times but (being a devout Christian) I don't think my emphasis on the Divine Feminine sat all that well with her.

But who knows what may grow from Summer Solstice drumming!

  3. But I give neighbor credit, for coming by, a few times. Which proves she's open to at least "looking" at something else. I fear, some are not.

    Happy Summer Solstice!

    Btw, no cavorting with the faeries last night for me. -giggles- Weird vibrations were unsettling "the compound" yesterday. ["The compound"...there are 3 houses on this street and all belong to family. Us, son/family and daughter/family. Not planned this way. Just happened] But weirdness was swirling, I tell ya'. Yikes!

    I should probably ask Mary about that... She seems to have a lot of insight.

  5. May this Solstice bring you more harmony, understanding, compassion and mirth...now rock on! Wish I could join you in your circle, I made a drum a long time ago and haven't put it to good use.

  13. I wonder why people belonging to formal organised religions find it hard to reconcile themselves to being one with Nature?

  20. I want in! I promise to keep my beat-boxing to a minimum. I'll bring a box of wine instead.

    Next year it's on!
