René Wadlow – TRANSCEND Media Service
The Summer Solstice, the longest light of the year, has featured strongly in European folklore and spirituality: a time to worship the deities of the sun.
Here is a solstice invocation that we can use:
“Radiant Sun above me, illuminate the Path.
May what be hidden come into the light,
nourished by the longest day.”
