Summer Solstice 2013

Summer Solstice is the peak of the light cycle of the year as the sun reaches its farthest point north for the year. This is a potent time for ceremony and to set intention.

I attend a ceremony lead by Sandra Cosentino just outside of Cottonwood early in the morning on Friday, June 21.

It was sponsored by Unity Center of the Valley and Rev. Bruce Kellogg.

Calling on the Direction Beings

SS13East East
The place of the rising sun.
The eastern spirit of sun or fire brings warmth and light.
The place of beginnings.
Its light brings wisdom.
It is the power of knowledge.

South
The sun at its highest point.
The direction from where warm winds blow.
South is the spirit of earth, the power of life.
It represents peace and renewal.

SS13South
SS13West West
The spirit of water.
The direction from which darkness comes.
The power of change, the place of dreams, introspection and the unknown.
The west signifies purity and strength.

North
The spirit of wind.
The cold wind blows from the north.
The power of wisdom.
Here we take time to reflect on what we began in the east, in the morning, in our youth.
