Happy Summer Solstice, everyone :)
This day is when magickal workings will be more powerful, divination and communication with our Gods will be clearer, and all solar magick will be stronger. For those of you closer to the equator, you won’t notice a huge difference in the length of the day. But for those farther north from the equator, it can be 20 to a full 24 hours long.
In modern times, this is considered the beginning of Summer. However, traditionally, in temperate regions of Europe, this was called Midsummer, while May Day was the beginning of Summer.
This is the longest day of the year. The Earth’s Northern pole is tilted at its maximum towards the Sun, enabling Solar energy to be most powerful, as the pole acts as a channel for the spiritual solar energy to be directed to the planet. This is why even though the Sun is entering a Water sign (Cancer), all solar magick and fire magick are amplified greatly. Love workings are also effective.
This is a time for one-shot solar workings; daily workings can be started when Sun enters its home sign of Leo next month. Doing a one-time working to empower your Solar chakra will have a great boost on this day. The Heart/Center chakra can also be empowered.
If you’ve recently purchased a tarot deck, this is a great day to bless and empower it.
For those of you who are able to, you can have a bonfire and meditate on the flames. For those who can’t have a bonfire, you can meditate on a candle flame. White candle would be preferable, as White is the color associated with this holiday. This is traditionally a day of uniting Water (element of the sign Cancer) and Fire (Sun).
As this is a Saturday, purification of the soul and chakras will be enhanced, especially using Solar mantras.
