What a perfect pair of cards to pull for Summer Solstice! Also known as Litha, this is the longest day of the year for those of us in the northern hemisphere. It’s a time of renewal and reflection, and time to let your inner wild child come out to play.
Don’t worry if you’re catching this post at a later date or if you live in the southern hemisphere; these messages are meant to find you when you need them :)
This is the time to examine the things in your life, both internal and external, through the lens of whether or not they serve you. What things are you doing that neither move the needle nor bolster your spirit? Are there beliefs and behaviors that no longer fit who you are becoming?
You might even be in the midst of creating a new identity, shedding the skin that other people clothed you in, or one you’ve outgrown.
You are stepping into a new chapter and want to leave things behind that may weigh you down or muddle your path. It’s important to realize that you hold the brush that paints your life.
The idea that you should be or do anything, the past that makes you feel unworthy, and the patterns that were created from those things, do not need to darken your canvas. Of course, it’s not easy to leave such things behind, but being intentional about addressing them makes a world of difference!
Now, before we go any further, I think it’s important for you to know that rituals are not just for witchies, woowoos, or the religious. They are an integral part of being human. They help us to create meaning, regulate our emotions, create connection with our fellow humans, and even boost productivity.
I love to use fire when I’m trying to release something from my life, and fire also plays a big part in the symbolism of the Summer Solstice. The release ritual goes a little something like this: write down what you want to release on a piece of paper, then burn it, visualizing it being carried away. That’s it!
Of course, your intention and emotions are incredibly important, so work them up before you start writing. Journal about them, listen to music that lifts your heart, or meditate, visualizing the doors that open when you close this one. Make sure you use positive emotions here - emphasizing the rough stuff will be unhelpful at the least.
Now that you’ve released the weight that held you back, it’s time to call in your renewal and celebrate! If you were to take only one thing from this message, that would be it!
It’s not just about having a good time. It’s freedom you feel in your chest, and gratitude for all that nature has blessed us with. It’s bonfires and dancing, it’s sharing that feeling with others, and marking the occasion of your rebirth with bold lines!
This is hope, gratitude, and celebration - not to be used as an escape - this is the energy of creation and joy!
