Summer Solstice Ritual

– We live in California and begin the ritual 12 hours before the actual solstice starts. Therefore next ritual begins June 21, 2007 @ 6:06 AM GMT/June 20, 2007 @ 10:06 PM PDT.

In the northern hemisphere, the longest day of the year (near June 22) when the Sun is farthest north. The declination of the Sun on the (northern) Summer Solstice is known as the Tropic of Cancer. The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, respectively, in the sense that the length of time elapsed between sunrise and sunset on this day is a maximum for the year.

The Summer Solstice marks the first day of the season of Summer in the northern hemisphere.

In the southern hemisphere it marks the first day of Winter.

This ritual is used to complete external physical manifestation and all energies are about exerting the will. In ancient times it was considered a time of fullness of life, worldly blessings and celebration. Not much has changed today in how we look at summer. We see it as a time of vacations, play, celebration, fun, joviality, parties, and barbecues with family and friends at the beach or park. Days are longer which gives us more time to enjoy the sun and soak in it’s warmth.

The Summer Solstice celebrates the joy, warmth and laughter of summer; and God’s power. The beginning of summer represents a time for purification, renewal of the self, a time to release the sadness, fears and pains from your life. A time for purification and renewed energy.

For couples: it is also a time for renewing the bonds of love that brought the two of you together in the first place. Remember that song from the 1978 movie “Grease” with Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta called “Summer Nights”…the amazing feelings of youthful passionate love…bu-ut oh, those su-ummer nights….). With renewed energy of the Summer Solstice all things are possible.

In the year 2007, on June 22nd the sun moves from Gemini into Cancer. The Sun exerts its’ maximum power at the Solstice because the tilt of the Earth’s axis makes the Sun’s rays most nearly parallel on that date at points in the Northern hemisphere. The time is here to complete external physical manifestation and all energies are about exerting the will. In ancient times it was considered a time of fullness of life, worldly blessings and celebration. Not much has changed today in how we look at summer. We see it as a time of vacations, play, celebration, fun, joviality, parties, and barbecues with family and friends at the beach or park. Days are longer which gives us more time to enjoy the sun and soak in it’s warmth.

The Solstice is a day to see the Creator in everyone you come in contact with and to recognize their divinity along with the recognition of your own self God image. John the Baptist is the recognized saint for the Summer Solstice. The belief is that summer solstice is for renewal, which needs to be a renewed commitment to God and ourselves.

When we gather to begin the ritual myself, MariaSuzonne, and several others start with cleansing my home and ourselves with herbs, soaps, incense and healings. Then we meditate, pray & chant mantras together bring forth the masters, saints, your angels and your spirit guides to assist with your ritual.

Then we begin by lighting your St. Rafael candle, astrology candle, yellow& brown image candles, light blue pyramid candle and green 7 knob candle.

The morning of June 21st we begin your light blue 7 Knob candle, royal blue 7 knob candle, yellow pyramid candle, orange pyramid candle, and your St. John candle.

Each day of your ritual the group of us meditate, pray & chant mantras over your set of candles. We do this as long as any candle is still burning.

HOW THE CANDLES BURN:

The religious candles burn between 7 and 8 days. The pyramid candle takes about 6 to 7 days; the 7 knob candles are burnt at a rate of 1 knob each day, the astrology candle burns for 7 days and the other candles take about 10 to 12 hours to complete.

WHAT YOU DO:

You will be asked to make a list of the things you want to renew, manifest, enhance, or release in or from your life. I will ask you to send me this list so I may print it out. Then I put it under the candles until the last one is completed. At the next high noon I take your list outside and burn it so the Universe assists in your desires.

If you purchase these candles separately it would cost $380.00. However, as the Summer Solstice Ritual the fee is $335.00 (per person).

We are performing this ritual for only 50 people. So make sure you order early.

SPECIAL OFFER: If you refer 5 people who order this ritual then your ritual is free!
