Recipe for Summer Solstice ritual


Invite the sun to come to a birthday party.  Take time away from making drums and revising Oracle cards.
Choose a place that takes a bit of work to reach, the spirit world loves us to make an effort on their behalf.


Try and arrive in an interesting way, so that lots of different creatures get a chance to view
 your parade of celebration for the sun. 


It's good to notice that many of the spectators of your ritual are dressed to honor the sun.
Everyone appreciates a compliment so be sure and express gratitude for their beauty.


It's helpful to have a friend along to join in the offering of prayers for the sun, the spirits of place, 
the creatures and forces that share and shape our island lives
Our spiritual practices are strengthened through the diversity of many voices.


Give the fire tobacco; give the 4 directions tobacco;
 give Tobacco your breath. 


Honor what is young and thriving at this sacred summer solstice moment in the wheel of the year.


Especially honor what it takes to survive an endless turning 
of the wheel of the year.

HAPPY SOLSTICE
