I understand that the Summer Solstice is 8:57 p.m. EDT today. Anybody planning on observing in any way? I'm just gonna enjoy a bit of cannabis, myself, but I'd be curious to know of any more interesting rituals...

The same way I celebrate any holiday I remember - feasting and merriment (i.e. eat whatever's left in the fridge, play some d&d with friends, quick prayer/ritual/meditation type thing if i remember before passing out on someone's couch) Really is the only way to truly live the spirit, or something.

Ummm...

Champagne (the real deal, at least for the first bottle), lots of chocolate, perfect strawberries, and sex of ritual intensity with people I love.

Probably better suited for Beltaine, but I really don't want anybody to think that I'm complaining. Not that I'm bragging, either, but you did ask...

I had a wicked dinner party on Saturdayt night with friends straying over, then lots of lovely family stuff on Sunday. Plus the football. And welcoming next door's new baby into the world. I was gonna go to the PF open ritual in Sheffiield but it was raining too hard, and I was doing my own little thing anyway.

Party. Sex. Cheers iszabelle, seems we had similar ideas

A short, simple working tied in with a rather extreme new look for myself, all accomplished right across the moment of the Solstice itself. Intended to help me move forwards and ditch some of the things that have been dragging me down since both the winter solstice and last year's summer solstice. And then a long walk. A pretty quiet night, really.

Apparently I'm going to celebrate the solstice this year by spending much of the evening converting Quark pages into print ready pdf's. Not sure what the spiritual ramifications of that are.

I'm a-hikin' out on the local mountains and keep up the Queen Mab vibe I've had for the past month. Don't know what else but a crazy friend and I are going, so we'll probably wind up dancing and making circles and something else fun...

Hm. Birthday party has been postponed until tomorrow. Bought some new shoes today (and with me being a lover of combat shoes, Docs and similar sturdy footwear, that's a rare occasion - those fuckers last) so I might take advantage of being on this turning point by breaking them in and doing a quick working for leaving the trodden paths in favor of... well, anything new, interesting, weird and/or funny, I guess. I'll leave the details up to the universe.

Took part in a public ritual in Ireland at an ancient site with hundreds of spectators,a very thrilling experience. This was Sunday,on Sat night I was invoved at a Crowleyite ceremony to celebrate the Solstice.Quite a weekend it was....

I sacrificed a crow beneath a burned tree at the moment of the solstice, in keeping with the traditions of my order.

Twice, apparently. That's commitment.
