Midsummer 2012


This is the longest day and the shortest night of the year: Now Sunna begins its ling decline, sliding into the darkness which will culminate six months from now at Yule. Identifying the sun with the brightness of Baldur, we celebrate in honor of both. Hold blot to Baldur and High Feast. This was the traditional time for holding the AlThing in ancient times.

Today we hold our Midsummer celebration. The cooking fires have been lit and the meat is smokes and cooks. Ale will flow and we shall hail the day, and Sunna's light. We will fest in the early evening and enjoy the day. As the sun sets we will light the fires, hold a Blot and Sumble.

We made a sun-wreath from flowers and grapevines, which we will burn in honor or Sunna and the Gods and Goddesses. This is a glorious day for or kinsmen.
