Dear Fairey-land Friends – The Solstice Doorway of Light will stand open for 3 days – So that we have the Time & Space to celebrate the Sun - giver of life. So that we can envision, how, each second, the our Day-Star-Sun transforms four million tons of itself - into light – Giving itself over, to become energy, that we take in with every meal. All life, has been feasting on the Sun’s energy stored in the form of wheat or reindeer, as each day the Sun dies & is reborn as the vitality of Earth.
Every child-soul needs to know this simple truth: She is - We are - the energy of the Sun! And it’s our job to organize life on Earth so that every face shines with the same radiant de-light. Can we as human beings learn that generosity is not only possible, but required? We can look to the center of the solar system for our role model - a magnificent stellar bounteousness, pouring forth free energy, every day, without stop – without complaint, or the slightest hesitation. This is the way of the Universe. This is the way of life. And this is the way in which each of us joins the cosmological lineage, accepting the Sun’s gift of energy, & transforming it into creative action that will enable society & all life on Earth to flourish.
Throughout time, the Solstices have been honored as power points. Twice each year we move into a window in space-time when the Sun & Earth communicate in their extremes, & energy is exchanged in a dance of light & dark – a Tipping Point in consciousness, in the service of evolution… (Unlike the Equinoxes-which are all about perfect balance-the Solstices are a Tipping Point–toward, or away from The Light) The Summer & Winter Solstices are key reference points in our solar year, marking the changing light. What would it be like to pay attention to where the light comes in to your room every day? So bright & early now - & then - watching its changing position thru-out the year? Where do the rays glance at Michaelmas time? At the Winter Solstice…? So dearly beloved – take a moment in the next few days to -Stop - with the Sun - Close your eyes - & Look Up - consciously absorbing the photonic energy generously generated by the loving heart of our central Star – Tiny rays of Intelligence from the Mind of the Divine, translated thru the Sun – Spiritual Beings beaming all around us, especially now…
At our current point in the long cycles of Earth-time, the Summer Solstice aligns with THE GALACTIC EDGE…of our known world…it is a time when we can tune into information ‘from a galaxy far, far away’… Could this Edge be the source of new ideas for changing the game of life on Earth…? The Turning of the Ages in this sense is not just the movement from epoch to epoch, a 2,500-year cycle - it is a much longer round – a 26,000 year cycle, associated with the Precession of the Equinoxes. Why am I bringing this up? Because the power of this shift from one 26,000 year cycle to another is most profoundly felt at the Solstices…
Here we can pause, with the Sun, to open the door to this expanded consciousness…Does anyone else hear this strange music? Will you walk thru the Sun-door with me…? ~hag

1566 – Birthday of James VI of Scotland & I of England, son of Mary, Queen of Scots. He sponsored the translation of the Bible into English that would later be named after him: the Authorized King James Version. Sir Anthony Weldon claimed that James had been termed “the wisest fool in Christendom”. He was the patron of Frances Bacon, William Shakespeare, Joacob Boehme & Jacob Balde. James’s visit to Denmark, sparked an interest in the study of witchcraft, which he considered a branch of theology. He attended the North Berwick witch trials, the first major persecution of witches in Scotland under the Witchcraft Act 1563. Several people were convicted of using witchcraft to send storms against James’s ship, most notably Agnes Sampson. James became obsessed with the threat posed by witches & wrote Daemonologie in 1597, a tract opposed the practice of witchcraft & that provided background material for Shakespeare’s Tragedy of Macbeth.
