A sun dance at Solstice
Midsummer, the Longest day, litha
the Sun at its highest point standing still,
a celebration of water, earth and sky,
the great father spirit ascends
to the reunion with his son and earth mother.
The bright half of the year has come,
dance in the Inca temple of the sun,
torch the fire by the lake shore,
to keep evil at bay,
bonfires on mountain high,
praying to the gods of the sky for rain,
to wash the ashes into the earth.
The oak king at the height of his power,
bathed in the full strength of the sun,
commands the heavens
upon the greenwood throne,
birch, fern and flowers,
St. John’s Wort to chase the devil,
a triumph of light over dark,
good over evil,
magic is at its peak,
The rising of the Nile
flooding the land with fertility,
pyramids and sphinx
like the heel and slaughter stones of Stonehenge
aligned with the sun at dawn.
Nature at its most majestic,
with spirits of field, forest, river and stream,
a time of change and new beginnings,
light, warmth, strength and high energy,
before the sun star moves south
with it the light gently grows fainter
to wane day by day

The most costly thing in all the worlds is ignorance. Hone yourself, hone your tribe.

It's great to see so many people talking about the dawn lately. Aurora/Eostre/Ostara is a very important goddess and an archetype that we need right now to cultivate rebirth. So many people are seeing the horrors of what's happening in our homelands and are now beginning to realize the importance of sticking together, taking our own side, and discovering how falsified history has truly become. We have always been heathens deep down, it's in our very nature as Aryans. If you'd like to learn more about how indigenous European faith has survived all these millennia, I'd highly recommend picking up my book on how the tale of Sleeping Beauty is our lost myth of the spring-dawn goddess, and that princess Briar Rose IS Eostre/Aurora. The overworld awaits the waking of the princess by the heroic prince in order to restore the land.
