June 20-21 is a very important day for our planet and
its relationship with the sun. June 20-21 is one of two solstices, days when the
rays of the sun directly strike one of the two tropical latitude lines. June 21
marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and simultaneously
heralds the beginning of winter in the southern hemisphere. In 2009, the
solstice occurs and summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere summer begins early
on June 21, at 1:45 a.m. EDT (5:45 UTC).
The earth spins around its axis, an imaginary line going
right through the planet between the north and south poles. The axis is tilted
somewhat off the plane of the earth's revolution around the sun. The tilt of the
axis is 23.5 degrees; thanks to this tilt, we enjoy the four seasons. For
several months of the year, one half of the earth receives more direct rays of
the sun than the other half.
The young maid stole through the cottage door,
And blushed as she sought the Plant of pow'r;--
'Thou silver glow-worm, O lend me thy light,
I must gather the mystic St. John's Wort tonight,
The wonderful herb, whose leaf will decide
If the coming year shall make me a bride.
In addition to the four
great festivals of the Pagan Celtic year, there are four lesser holidays as
well: the two solstices, and the two equinoxes. In folklore, these are referred
to as the four 'quarter-days' of the year, and modern Witches call them the
four 'Lesser Sabbats', or the four 'Low Holidays'. The Summer Solstice is one
of them.

Blessed life in which we know, heart entangled and they start to grow, unspoken words but we know together we are stronger then we are solo. Rise with me to call her name to which she takes us to a higher plain to where we are safe and loved in her arms high above, whispers all around of hate for us. Understanding is all we ask, not to judge or be forepast, we will be remembered whether they like it or not, we are we are the new beginning they foresaw we are the peace makers to their facade, we hold the key to a better world.

What to Use for All those Bug Bites?
by Penny Keay
Oh it is this buggy time of the year! Bees, Gnats,
Mosquitoes, Ants, Fleas, Spiders and the ‘unknowns’ are coming at us from every
direction.
Using a few essential oils to repell these little buggers
should be your first course of action, but if you are like most folks you don’t
think of it until someone is bitten!
So what to do once you are bitten.
Most all bug bites can be treated the same way (but not bee stings if the
stinger is left in).

Co-creation starts with imagination;
"It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question."
Decouvertes:
"The man who has no imagination has no wings."
Imagination is a tool of the soul. Our imagination gives us the opportunity to 'try on' new qualities and perspectives in our life. Through imagination, we can explore our past, problems, patterns, processes, plans, perceptions, principles, passions and purpose to uncover new possibilities.
Without imagination, we stay stuck in the realm of the material, the past, the superficial and the literal. We remain one-tracked, instinctual and one-dimensional.
Well I'm sure everyone at some time or another feels the need for a good fortune spell. I burn a green taper candle (in a suitable candle holder of course) and perhaps throw some Goldenrod herb on there with it. Then I chant 'Money, money, come to me, in this time of urgency.' nine times and end with 'So mote it be!' Visualising your intent throughout is always important. Just thought I'd share. Blessed be.
An observance which takes place in many western countries
every April 1, traditionally known as April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day
(a.k.a. Poisson d'Avril — "April Fish" — in France). It is a day when
humor reigns and harmless pranks, practical jokes, and hoaxes are sanctioned.
Customary practices range from simple tricks played on friends, family, and
coworkers to elaborate media hoaxes concocted for mass consumption.
In many cultures, the egg is viewed as the symbol of new
life. It is, after all, the perfect example of fertility and the cycle of
rebirth. In early Christian cultures, consumption of the Easter egg may have
marked the end of Lent. In Greek Orthodox Christianity, there is a legend that
after Christ's death on the cross, Mary Magdalene went to the emperor of Rome,
and told him of Jesus' resurrection. The emperor's response was along the lines
of "Oh, yeah, right, and those eggs over there are red, too." Suddenly, the bowl
of eggs turned red, and Mary Magdalene joyfully began preaching Christianity to
the emperor.

This Month
October is the tenth month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with a length of 31 days. The eighth month in the old Roman calendar, October retained its name (from the Greek "octo" meaning "eight") when January and February were added.
October's birthstone is the opal or tourmaline, and its birth flower is the calendula (pot marigold) or Camellia.
October is commonly associated with the season of autumn in the Northern hemisphere and spring in the Southern hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to April in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa.
In common years January starts on the same day of the week as October, but no other month starts on the same day of the week as October in leap years.
