| Taking keen on consideration our rich chronological precedent, as Americans and various cultures around the world, we have to understand that it is in our blood to celebrate the seasons. Summer is no immunity. Even if you accomplish not think yourself Pagan, before if you were skilled that these beliefs were evil, consider it otherwise not...it is in your nature and genes to distinguish and celebrate the four seasons of the year. Modern daylight Pagans know this as the Wheel of the Year, and the Summer solstice is one of the most imperative sabbats.
Think concerning what Summer means to you...what imagery explode addicted to your mind when you imagine of the word Summer? My mind is flooded with thoughts of basking in the sun, dropping in the pool, departing barefoot resting on the sand, collecting seashells, and picnicking in the shade of a immense oak tree. All of these memories and definitions of Summer are representative of what Summer predestined to the earliest Pagans. Fruitfulness...happiness...warmth...these are all stipulations that tell of the filled essence of the season of Summer. The earth is packed with life and ready to subsist harvested.
Some ideas as to how to celebrate, whether absent of the closet before in the closet Pagan, you can celebrate with no fear of judgement. Tomorrow I have strategy to plant a row of sunflowers in my backyard...why? Because I have a unfathomable relationship to the sunflower and they are a unadulterated character of Summer to me. I distinguish the Sun and the fertility gods and goddesses when I seem next to the stunning blond smirk of a sunflower. Not a fan of sunflowers? Plant some additional flower before plant that reminds you of your past summers and first-rate memories of the season.
If you be an altar, positively put a number of newly selected wildflowers on your altar as an offering to the frequent Holly King and Summer Goddesses. Also another thing to offer - fruit and vegetables. Preferably they will exist fruits or veggies from your own hand-grown garden, excluding stipulation not...no large deal! The thought is what counts...and the father and protect idol know and will acknowledge that. Check out the sun steering wheel completed of flowers beautifully constructed by one of our fellow up to date daytime Pagans. This picture instantaneously brought a smile to my face...and accurately to my soul!
If you are going to expend the weekend with family, and perchance they are not of the Pagan type, celebrate in your possess means that is relative to your family's traditions. Locate a bonfire up, otherwise accomplish a few barbecue-ing! Serve some grilled meat and veggies and also a few class of dessert that is undoubtedly thankful towards the fruits of the summer - watermelon, berries, mango, and so forth. Go with what is dear to your heart.
Send a card before note to your Pagan or like-minded relatives and friends in brightness of the pending Summer season. Remind them of closely what you memorize of them and the summer occasion. Summer brings back a number of awfully sweet memories and recollections for me...building pond forts, riding bikes until my hair was coated in dirt, jumping addicted to ponds by technique of hanging vines, thanking god designed for his Sun, and so forth. Let these memories of the season block your mind and heart with their warmth and remind others of this warmth. These are uncomplicated and additional conservative conduct of celebrating Midsummer...other habits possibly will comprise celebrating with a coven before group, while numerous of us perform not have this privilege outstanding to family principles before time before additional not public reasons. I think that if you recognize in your heart what you are appreciative meant for, particularly ground and its gifts, you will stay behind associated and build a everywhere union with the earth in every its glory.
On a side memo, have you increasingly hack an apple horizontally? You would subsist amazed and most probable delighted to discover that the symbol of the 5 tip star is evidently there, constructed by the position of the seeds enveloped by the apple's meat. To modern daylight Pagans, this is a understandable delegate of the pentagram...the five fundamentals - earth, sky, flames, hose and akasha (spirit).
