The chains of winter are broken, Spring has arrived, This is the time when all of life burst forth in joyous celebration. Day and Night are equal bringing balance. Persephone rises from the Depths of the Underworld and brings forth new life. This is a time of Fertility, Creativity is nurtured. The Mayploe, a phallic fertility symbol symbolizing the God is joined with the Goddess as it is placed within the Earth.
Ribbons hang from the top inviting all to join the dance of fertility weaving the magic of desire.
This is a time of wild delight. Jumping the bonfire brings purification and luck. This is the longest day of the year, the power of the Sun is at its peak and at the same time this is the beginning point of the waning of the Suns energy and power. We celebrate the strength and energy this day holds and ask that the magick created today carry us through the dark half of the year. AUG.1 Light diminishes the days grow shorter, we have worked hard to bring things to fruition, but the Harvest is not yet clear, we know that to harvest we must sacrifice.
