Summer Solstice & Super Moon
Did you see the Sunrise today? Did you feel the power of the Sun? Do you feel the power of the Sun? This Summer Solstice today, Friday 21 June 2013, is the Longest Day of the Year and the start of summer. It is followed by a SUPER MOON on Sunday 23 June when the moon will be closest to the Earth. This is a FULL MOON with the Moon in Capricorn & Sun in Cancer. A SUPER MOON is a time of many emotions and feelings, especially as the moon is very close to earth: so lots of emotions and tides.

Channelled by Toks Beverley Coker for the Summer Solstice 21/6/2013
Scientific Reason of Summer Solstice
When something happens in the North Pole the opposite happens in the South Pole. When the North Pole is tilted more towards the sun in the North Hemisphere it causes the Summer Solstice. When the South Pole is tilted away from the sun in the Southern Hemisphere it causes the Winter Solstice. Did you know that around the time of the Summer Solstice some places experience a midnight sun? They are Norway, Finland, Greenland, Alaska and other polar regions. http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/0/22956681
Ancients
We all know the Great Pyramids were built so the sun could set precisely between two of the pyramids on the Summer Solstice; when viewed from the Sphinx. How marvellous is that. We see echoes in the Mayan times and Stonehenge here in UK. Many visit Stonehenge and Avebury on the Summer Solstice to witness the sun rising on the first morning of Summer. Stonehenge is an ancient stone circle in Wiltshre, where the Heel Stone and Slaughter Stone set outside the main circle align with the rising sun! http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/paganism/holydays/summersolstice.shtml
Celebrations
Do you celebrate the Summer Solstice? 
Many people like Joanna Kossak celebrate by making a Solstice Garland with best wishes woven in with each flower: personal, family, friends, elements, society, lineage, universe. Does she not look beautiful? Thank you Joanna Kossak for sharing your gift and blessing and appreciation and reverence with us. We receive the blessing with gratitude.
Others celebrate by going for a walk, walking on grass, have a picnic, dancing and meeting with friends. Others stay solemn in prayer giving thanks and gratitude to Mother Earth. Some offer prayers and acknowledge the four elements: fire, water, earth and air. It really is a time to honour the earth, the plants that grow and feed us, the sun that shines and gives us light, the farmers that REALLY grow healthy organic food. We celebrate the natural things that give us food like plants and animals. We celebrate and give thanks for the food, the harvest and the planting and the growing of the seeds planted.
My View
For me, if the ancient Egyptians thought it was important, then I think it is important. It is amazing looking at our planet history and taking the wonder and genius of the world around us; and seeing how it all unfolds, the seasons, the natural rhythm of life, the flow of the water tides influenced by the moon, the movement of mother earth around the sun and the season and equinoxes and solstice that occur. It is still valid today and it makes mathematical and astronomy sense. I agree with Jarita Holbrook, Cultural Astronomer at University of Arizona in Tucson: "Paying attention to the solstices is a way of teaching mathematics, celestial mechanics, and astronomy, culture, and history. It is also a pretty good party." The Summer Solstice is a celestial wonderment and a celestial mechanics!
HOMEWORK
- Why not do something simple and significant today to honour and revere our Natural Earth Resources and Give thanks to Mother Earth and Father Sky?
- If you do not know what to do; how about reading the above again and doing one of the mentioned things yourself.
