Mama Donna sent an e-mail with the following Solstice Ceremony:

Essence of the Season - Summer Solstice
by © Donna Henes, Urban Shaman

The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year. How long is that? The only way to really understand how long it is, is to experience it. Get up with the sun and stay in its presence until it sets. Do what it does: Declare your finest intention at first light and follow it as it rises with the day. Express the fullness of your own inner illumination, your high noon zenith. Shine light and warmth into the evening. Set after a long day with the satisfaction of the lightness of being.

A Simple Solstice Ceremony

o Get up at dawn.
o Watch the sun rise.
o Greet it.
o Bless it.
o Put a circular mirror outside in a sunny place.
o Fill a glass container with cold water and several tea bags ?
black, green or herbal ? and place it on top of the mirror.
o Go about your business for the day.
o The mirror reflects the strongest sun of the year.
o The tea steeps in it.
o Watch the sun set.
o Drink the tea.
o Look into the solar-powered mirror.
o Bless your self.

I send you all sizzling solstice blessings,

xxMama Donna

That's tomorrow folks, up at dawn tomorrow.
