Merry Solstice!!! Merry Solstice!!!! Merry Solstice!!! Stonehenge and Newgrange! Solstice Sunday!!

I worship the sun! At least you can see the sun! It gives us light and warmth. It gives us life. A good thing to worship!

I’m celebrating the Summer solstice! This is the longest day! After this the days start drawing in. The warmth and light from the sun warms our spirits.

The pagan solstice celebrations were purloined by the Christians . We want it back. I prefer the solstice celebrations! Merry Solstice to you all!!

Today is the shortest day of the year. After today the days start drawing out. This is the turning point to look to create something great out of the new life.

This was a day of pagan celebration!

The Christians purloined it to make into Christmas but the pagans had it first.

For thousands of years people have gathered to celebrate the winter solstice. This is the day the sun reaches it’s lowest. The tide turns and the sun begins coming back. The days draw out. The rebirth begins.

Celebrate the solstice!

Poetry – Solstice 2 – Our ancestors used to hold ceremonies to celebrate this. Mine’s just a little late.

Poetry – Solstice 2 – Our ancestors used to hold ceremonies to celebrate this.

We’re tried worshipping most things. The sun makes more sense that most. We live within its atmosphere and it gives us the light and heat that gives us life.

The Green Man and the sun gods Helios, Ra, Kehpri, Atum, Inti, Lugh, Hepa, Garuda, Huitzilopocthli, Apollo, Surya, Sol, Sol Invictus, Shemesh, Sunnya, and a host more, were all widely worshipped.

The longest and shortest days are good reasons for having a great festival and celebration. Nature is what supports us. We should respect it and celebrate its bounty.

I wrote this poem after seeing Nazca Nine on the Summer Solstice. It was a great gig. They were definitely waxing lyrical and many of the monarchs of yore were thought to be incarnations of Sun Gods.

Then there’s the Moon. It’s been a long time since we walked on it. I think some ancient cultures would have shuddered at the very thought.

Solstices are like a rebirth. I like the idea.

Solstice 2

Waxing on the lyrical

Beneath the sacred sun

Getting quite satirical

When God and Queen are one

 

Verging on the mystical

Beneath the sister moon

Leaning metaphysical

Hope we get there soon

 

Nineteen Nazca nine

Is looming from the dawn

Me and thee and thine

Are going to be reborn

Yes. What better time of the year? In the midst of winter. At the culmination of the shortest day of the year.

Forget Christmas.

Celebrate the Saturnalia of Pagan Celebration.

Shock your relatives to the core with some subversive poetry, libertine Rock and alternative Opher.

Warm their cockles. Stimulate their sensibilities

Or, alternatively, immerse yourself in the pleasures of a great Opher book and forget about Christmas and the relatives.

What could be better?.

Merry Solstice!!! Merry Solstice!!!! Merry Solstice!!!

May the long time sun shine upon you

All love surround

And the pure light inside you
