Litha (Summer Solstice) is one of the four "Lesser Sabbaths" celebrated by Wiccans and other pagan religions, it is seen as the triumph of light...a time for handfasting and communication with the spirits of nature. For me personally, a day of quiet reflection.

Gee, now that you mention it, I did notice that exactly noon, the sun was aligned with the weathervane on top of the cupola on my carriage house and the cast shadow fell on the nearby bird bath.
Today, I'll quest for a virgin to share the wonder of it all.

On a side note, my 2yo filly had a gal ride her today, but she opted to wear clothes. Oh well...(the gal, not the filly).

Should I start with similar jokes and mocking? Let's see...did you hear they cancelled Easter? Oh well, one shouldn't go there...

My apology Somerfrost. I honestly didn't realize that the Summer Solstace held significance.
Enjoy the holiday.

No problem DTS, I figured you probably missed my original post, it just humors me when folks (not you or pgardn) who are so sensitive about their beliefs take opportunities to mock the beliefs of others.

Somerfrost,
I don't think it's cool to mock anyone's beliefs.
Again, sorry. I didn't mean to offend.
