🌞✨Solstice On The Horizon
Pause and give yourself some appreciation
Dear Heart...
The wheel turns once more.
The Summer Solstice is nearly upon us - that great solar threshold where the light reaches its peak, before beginning its slow descent (in the northern hemisphere). While in the south the opposite is occurring. 20-23 June, a great opportunity opens for us individually and collectively.
This signifies a moment of perfect balance, which you can lean into and get yourself in alignment with your highest purpose. This is not just an astronomical event, but a deep soul invitation: to pause, reflect and realign, and to honour all that has been grown, gathered and grieved since the beginning of this year.
We stand at the midpoint of the spiral. And from this place, we can truly see.
This year I find myself in the northern hemisphere for the first time in years, so I will be focussing on the Summer Solstice. But first, let’s reflect upon our journey through the first four Jungian Archetypes and see where we find ourselves on this moment:
Child To Caregiver – Mirroring What’s Beneath the Surface
👶 The Child - What innocence do you reclaim or want to reclaim?
🥀 The Orphan - Where have you felt left behind or disillusioned, and how do want you meet yourself there?
🦸♀️ The Hero - What dragons did you slay or intend to slay? What parts of yourself have you activated into power?
🤲 The Caregiver - Where have you poured from your cup, and where have you allowed yourself to receive?
🌿 Mini Ritual for Reflection:
Light a candle. Place four objects before you - one for each archetype. Speak aloud one thing you honour yourself for in each realm. Ask:
What is ready to be composted?
What has matured in me?
Where am I still withholding love from myself?
Breathe. Thank these archetypes. Bow to the first half of the year.
🔥 The Shamanic Summer Solstice Portal
Across many cultures, the Summer Solstice has been honoured as a sacred turning point: a time of celebration, fire, balance and transition.
🌍 The Earth reaches her moment of maximum solar saturation offering us clarity, visibility and growth. Yet immediately after, the light begins to recede. It is a natural reminder that all things cycle: bloom and decay, action and rest, rising and returning inward.
🌞 Solstice in Irish Folklore - A Time Between Worlds
In Irish mythology, the Summer Solstice is a time when the world of humans and the Otherworld touch. The light is at its peak, and yet from this moment forward, the days begin to shorten. It is a time of paradox - a time when we are asked to honour both the fullness and the fading.
The Goddess Áine, associated with the Sun and midsummer, was revered for her power over the land, the crops and love itself. Some tales say she walked the hills of Limerick on Solstice Eve, blessing those who honoured the Earth with beauty and truth.
This is a time to make offerings to the land. To listen for whispers in the wind. To light a fire and call-in transformation.
Let this Solstice be a return to Earth connection, to heart-centred living, and to the unseen allies who walk with us when we remember to ask.
☀️ From a shamanic lens, this is a portal of power. A time to give thanks for the abundance and light… while preparing your heart for the descent into the next initiation☀️
I can help guide you over this threshold.
