Summer Solstice
Today I join Wiccans (and those who are Wiccans-at-heart) in celebration of Litha -- Midsummer -- triumph of light over darkness!
The longest day of the year in this hemisphere, feast day of St. John the Baptist, traditional time to harvest your medicinal herbs and gather your magickal water! Full moon in this month is the Honey Moon ... and a perfect time to make mead.*
Also *whisper*: my birthday. Which has already been wonderful, thanks to Jim and my dear friends.
Age, and wisdom if you're lucky, is a gift from God. I'm grateful.
Today's fragrance: a birthday gift from Jim, Donna by Lorenzo Villoresi. Spicy, clean rose with some of the green stem underneath. Just beautiful. Thank you.
*many thanks to the witch, Lady Bridget, for this information.

Another of my esteemed blog buddies with a birthday today. Ooo, coincidence! I may have to recycle the picture of a cake I sent earlier in the week. Hope it's been, is continuing to be and always will be a happy birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Happy Birthday!
On the summer and winter solstice both I allow the Things to stay up as late as they would like and we have a little celebration.
We will be having a bonfire and roasting marshmallows.
Star gazing is on the agenda if they make it that long, though no sky clad dancing.

Happy birthday!! Eat an extra bite of cake for me, and smuggle a piece of your birthday cake to Bucky for me and Fred (he's my long little doggie.) Hope the whole day long is fantastic.

Happy Birthday Mirielle! (I know you whispered, bt Doug told us ALL on at his site)
I love long days and this is one of my most favorite times of the year. I don't know you very well (just from comments at Dougs), but I doubt it is just a coincidence that you were born on the day that has the most light the entire year.

Happy Chic Birthday--with slight delay! May the coming year be one of success, love, and joy. Bonne anniversaire, feliz cumpleanos, rejoice!
