Happy Summer Solstice
Sunday, June 21 is the longest day of the year when father sun is at its peak and appears to hold still. This especially evident in the sky over Mexico’s ceremonial sites like the Pyramid (teocalli) of the Sun at Teotihuacán and the shadow-serpent patterns at Chichén Itzá.
Culture keepers, curanderos, ceremonial dancers, and everyday people will gather to mark the solstice through prayer and offerings of beautiful flowers, plumes of copal smoke, and music.
At home, you can mark the sacredness of this day by offering your own prayers along with lighting incense and a candle.
On this day, and always, may,
Wisdom and humility guide the hearts and minds of those who have been given the gift of great power;
Culture keepers, elders, medicine makers, healers, and spiritual people receive all they need to continue their good work;
Mother Earth and all relations in nature be honored and positive and restorative actions be taken that we all may flourish in balance; and,
We be good ancestors.
For All Our Relations.
