Blessed Solstice

Postby Feona » 21 Jun 2011, 10:33

At night, at night, I dance and sing

Solstice may now begin.


I praise the Sun, the holy God.

I praise the Earth, the fruitful Lady.

I praise the Water, the Wind, the Fire.

I raise my voice - higher and higher.


Today the blessings shall be plenty

the fruits be growing steadily and gently.


At day, at day, I dance and sing

Solstice may now begin.


The fairies sing and dance along,

accompanied by my angel's song.


This my blessing now shall be,

Sun in your life and fruitful months for thee!
I am walking on the path of soul - finding my light - making me whole

If we don't understand what the soul is telling us,
if we don't want to see the unseen,
if we carry on walking blindly through life -
without even seeing with the inner eye ...
then we will search for explanations,
then we will find ways of rationality,
then we will see the clarity of things -
and we will be frightened by the slightest signs of irrationality.
