The Solstice is June 21st. The picture of my last post always brings me to this day, when the fae dance in the moonlight.
I spotted a doe this afternoon with twin fawns in the woods just beyond the swing and when one of her young captured sight of me, he spun around and yelled "Maa" as he skipped back to her side. My chest swelled with laughter but I didn't dare make a sound to frighten them away. She kept peaking around the tree to see if I was still there but I stood like a statue so that I may watch and enjoy them just a little bit longer.
As I sat on the deck overlooking the fields of corn growing the magic of the night started to take the stage. The lightening bugs lite up the back yard in all their magnificence and the bull frogs started their hallow whisper as the sun fell into the darkened night. Then the tree leaves started to dance and a brisk rain fell upon the land. It ended just as fast as it started, hardly leaving any wetness behind. The first day of summer will bring the last (3rd in June) eclipse of the month and a clearing we are all looking forward to. I will not be returning to Faire this year as I can only work one day of the week ends but it will allow me the time I need to do some clearing of my own and to craft for the fall season. I look forward to sharing the things I am working on and will post again soon.
In the meanwhile, enjoy the Solstice and watch closely for the fae as they will be about the land enjoying the moonlight. I leave them milk and honey, a rare treat for them, for the favors of watching over my plantings for the season.
Merry Solstice. . . Blessed be. . .
