And the Goddess named Herself the Unquenchable Heat of Life. Sparks were struck from Her dancing feet so that She shone forth as the Sun, and the stars were caught in Her hair, and comets raced about Her, and Element Fire was born.
I wrote this down many years ago as part of an invocation ritual but failed to note the author's name. It might have been the late, great Shekhinah Mountainwater, but I can't remember for sure now.
Anyway, Summer Solstice blessings to you all!
What a beautiful invocation and I love that picture as well. While I do associate the Sun with the masculine, we all encompass both the feminine and masculine so each person may identify with one half more than the other.
ReplyDeleteHappy Litha my friend!

ReplyDeleteWinter Solstice here.. blowing a freezing cold gale outside :)

Hmmm, I left a message earlier, but it didn't show up. Sigh. I apologize if this winds up being a duplicate.
ReplyDeleteThe invocation is lovely. It paints a beautiful image instead of "hot and sticky".
And for me personally, it is the turning point, for we are now on the road towards Autumn, and Halloween!! lol
It's been hot as blazes down here for 2 months. Looking forward to the progressively shorter days. Happy Solstice!
