MIDSUMMER/LITHA

MidSummer, Summer Solstice or Litha is the next Sabbat to be celebrated on the Wheel of the Year!

This Sabbat marks the peak of the solar cycle …..the longest day of the year!

The energy of this Sabbat is active: it’s about doing and expanding, living the dream envisioned in the dreamtime of winter.
At the peak point of summer bloom, prayers for blessings on the crops are asked of the Goddess.  The Earth is fertile,
and
the womb of the Earth Mother is now ripe with life as She begins to pour forth Her creations in the
form of growing fields, trees, flowers, and animals.
*from “Women’s Rites, Womens’ Mysteries” by Ruth Barrett

How will  you celebrate?

  May Eve is fast approaching!  The Goddess Temple celebrates this Sabbat in the Dianic tradition…..

The Maiden aspect of the Goddess will soon be experiencing Her first Moonblood on this day; and it is a cause for great rejoicing!

A lovely squall of tiny white snowflakes quickly cooled any thought of a long morning walk to check on spring bulbs.  The earth is warming up, though, and signs of rebirth are present….

  • In the red buds on the trees
  • In the return of migrating birds
  • In the brief, but brilliant, bursts of sunshine

So we have to ask….

What signs do you see?

How do you celebrate Spring?

What are your Ostara traditions?

You are invited…

2013 Theme: THE GENDER AGENDA: GAINING MOMENTUM

Over time and distance, the equal rights of women have progressed.  We celebrate the achievements of women while remaining vigilant and tenacious for further sustainable change.  There is global momentum for championing women’s equality.

Each year around the world, International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8. Thousands of events occur not just on this day but throughout March to mark the economic, political and social achievements of  women. Organisations, governments, charities, educational institutions, women’s groups, corporations and the media             celebrate the day. Many groups around the world choose different themes each year relevant to global and local gender issues.

So we have to ask…

HOW WILL YOU CELEBRATE EQUALITY TODAY?

Please comment!
