Day 6: Getting Ready for Midsummer

Since I'm working today I'm just going to post this and allow blogspot to make it public. Midsummer is almost upon us, in-fact Facebook is talking nothing but about Midsummer. Midsummer, or the first day of Summer, is between the last spring festival and the first harvest season. It's a time that the sun will be at it's most powerful but will start losing energy and the days start getting shorter. Still, it's a great time of the year and one that I'm excited about.

The Holly King and the Oak King battle and the Holly King wins, allowing him the rule from Midsummer to Midwinter. I hope that you will have a good one.

Day 2: Knowing the Gods are Real Is Not What Makes them Real

I've asked the gods for help in strength, patience (my present job is very stressful because people want me to work faster than is possible), and protection while traveling. I've done offerings to the Norse, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman gods...

Day 21: Midsummer Weather

Today was Midsummer and it was one hot day. I mean, not in the morning but it heated up really quickly by time the afternoon came around. Midsummer, as I've mentioned before, is when the sun is at it's height but it will start losing energy as we get closer to the dark half of the year. Me and my mother did enjoy ourselves and I had to wait until the weather had cooled down enough so that I could do my actual ritual. I hope that everyone had a good one.
