Summer Solstice / Sun Throne 2028

Ritual Meaning

The summer solstice is abundance with consequences. The light is generous, the heat is serious, and the house practices celebration with shade.

Prayer

May I receive the light without worshiping exhaustion. May this house know the difference between abundance and overexposure. Bless the shade, the water, the early hour, and the wisdom to stop.

Objects To Set Out

• Cool water or lemonade.
• Small bowl of herbs, berries, or citrus.
• Fan, hat, sunscreen, or cooling cloth.
