Summer solstice

And, you know, I feel like this is a month if you don't do any kind of rituals or you don't kind of take part in anything like that.

If you do feel called to do that, let yourself indulge in that a little bit, whether it's like releasing what has been like doing that little exercise like I suggested, looking back through each quarter point, maybe even looking back, you know, at all of them, Lungasa, Summer Solstice.

Beltane, Ostara Spring, Imolc and then Winter and like so going back over those things and looking at what has been and you know what you then can bring forward, what worked and what didn't and I think that's a very powerful exercise to do and a really good way to restart the season and get ready as we enter into quite a busy season and but also winter.

We're entering and we're descending down into the depths of winter.

Exactly.

And the Summer Solstice is one of the most obvious turning points in the natural year.

The longest days, the sun at its greatest strength, plants flowering everywhere.

So plants gathered around Midsummer often accumulated special significance.

Okay, Gabe.

Gabe did Summer Solstice.

I was so thankful that someone wasn't just doing Christmas again.

That's fine.

They're available for pre-order now.

They're being released June 20th, 21st, 2026, summer solstice this year.

I also spent five years writing a book about this deck of cards.

It went through nine, three, six, nine, nine's my number.

It went through nine drafts.

So it was nine decks and the ninth draft of my book that are the final PDFs that were sent to the printer that are finally coming out and being born as we speak to be released on Summer Solstice 2026.

wow, what a journey.

I feel like my journey is a lot like yours in all the synchronicities and being led to know things that were ancient texts and me having these rememberings and putting things together and connecting them.

That's that damn [clears throat] national anthem of this podcast.

[smacks lips] What's going on? What's good in the world? We coming up on summer solstice, and that's that long day, baby.

That's where the day, I mean, the day just had that extended cab.

You know, that's where the day really just stretches its legs out.

You can see the clock doing yoga over there.

It's getting long.

That summer solstice, baby.

You look in the distance, man, you'll see, uh, [smacks lips] you see Dracula or wolver- wolves or any type of nighttime animal.

We're celebrating this milestone on Thursday, November 5th in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Our last Solar Maverick event in June was the Summer Solstice fundraiser.

More than 85 people attended, and we raised $17,000 for Let's Share the Sun Foundation.

Thank you for everyone who came out to that event and supported.

Summer harvest.

You do remember today is the summer solstice.

She places all of these in there and then proceeds to pull out three different candles and places them in the middle in almost a triangle shape.

She lights each and then takes out a flask, pours it around and sets the entire thing on fire.

Bobby has so many questions.

I really hate that you left it on like watching the creature swim away.

My thing is, is we are currently seeing it now for a summer solstice that's taking one year.

Previously, was it a longer timeframe? Was it every five years or every 10 years? Has it shortened over the time? And right now we're just currently sitting at the shortest timeframe that it's taking one year to do this.
