Summer Solstice Blessing

It’s the midsummers evening, the shortest of the night,
Where our planet is blessed with the greatest of light.

The Sun at its power, sharing its wealth,
With the earth glowing in abundances and health.

The trees’ leaves are green, the birds are in song.

The days are as warm as they are long.

We honour the animals, the plants and living things,
The Sun and the water and for the life that it brings.

May you find well-being, and may you find peace,
In days after solstice, as the light does decrease.

May the blessings of the Solstice be yours I pray,
And the light warms your Heart and Soul every day.

Summer Solstice Thursday, 20th June and 21st June.

Solstice is a marriage of the Latin words for “sun” and “to stand still,” Stonehenge was built to align with the sun on the solstices.

The summer solstice marks the official start of longer, brighter days as the Northern Hemisphere transitions out of its long, cold winter and into the highly anticipated season of sun. Solstices are one of the two astronomical methods used to determine the seasons on Earth, signifying the start of both summer and winter. Honouring the occasion dates back to ancient times, with some of our earliest ancestors building monuments to commemorate the sun and welcome the arrival of summer. Stonehenge in England, for example, is one of the world's most famous prehistoric monuments.
