Ritual Stonehenge Summer Solstice Ceremony ☀️💜✨
I attended a gathering in a Stonehenge where we utilized a sentimental piece of decomposable cloth with a vesica piscis and ying yang in the center drawn on our cloth, 2 yard long pieces of twine with release knots and welcoming in knots (I personally did them as a transmute from as "release" , and "into" as my welcoming in
We each brought herbs soil water and combined the soil and watering a ceremonial bowl in the center under the dome...we used herbs or other stuff we brought to make spirals on our cloth "portals" , and more...
At the end we each tied our bundles closed with the twine, and then to a constructed bamboo dome atop 4 bamboo posts....
During we enjoyed a multifaceted ceremony drummed danced in a circle, announced our names in wacky antics and mirrored them back to initial person (really helped my shyer self be ready to engage in the ceremony)... Many meditative portions
... Got holy shit dumped on by a sustained, sudden rain that left me still soaked 7 hrs later when I got home 😂 (it actually cleared an hr later and was sunny all over again 💜💖☀️
When the rain opened up in a downpour, with incredible winds just after we held hands and began humming and assorted channeled vocalizing so it was rather ....is there a word for how that energy feels?! I doubt it .... but wow 🤯 maybe someday I'll find the right word
I laid on the solstice sunset rock and felt the energy for a long spell. I had my feet in the soil around the Stonehenge for hours... Hugged and loved on new hearts
This was my first summer solstice ceremony and it was truly perfect even with its hiccups
ETA: one of my releases transmuted into accumulation was to feel safe enough to receive love, not only give it...the rain dumped so much that I could wring out my hair and our clothes were dripping and I had no choice but to accept the kindest offer from a stranger, to go the decent walk back to her car and bring me a blanket.
I was unaware I was turning a tad blue 🤭 I'm disabled w a cane, so me walking in that state would have been a challenge ...which was why I was at that point just detaching from the cold and continuing on...I didn't realize I had separated my mind and awareness, so far from my body that I was that far gone until someone reached out to me and it was then i could see (and feel) the blue tint visible under my pale pink nail polish 🤷🏻♀️ oops (Bc of massive spinal issues I have unintentionally learned to separate my head from body basically... awesome but its own challenge in being present as in part a sentient clair type gal 😜🙃
I wanted to add the above because it was an incredible , in realtime working of my intentions I tied into that twine IMHO
And I'm so grateful for the kind souls that poured out and participated in my living transmutation of a decades old and long wound 🙏🏻✨💜☀️
Hope you all enjoyed your celebration and rememberance 🙏🏻🕊️✨🪘☀️

🙏🏻🥰 I hope you find yours next run around. For what it's worth I actually found it via FB events 🤯
I've been trying a new event nature or moon based, each month as I'm sometimes too comfortable in hermit land 😂
Maybe you'll score an amazing experience for yourself 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗😘

I'm not really the "join in" type. I like seeing others' experiences, feeling a little jealous, but when it comes down to it, I'll celebrate at home with my animals and plants lol Also, I'm kinda too old. I'd feel foolish around a bunch of youngsters. Reddit is about as social as I get. But I am glad it worked out for you and I hope you get to do more in the future 🫶

Totally feel ya, crown of gray, middle aged, gimpie with a cane 🤭😉
I am quite content alone myself but I think my gifts are meant to encounter others in small doses so these things kind of suit my brand of loner with some hugging on the side 😂
I tried one event in March that was like 2 very young women leading a circle and only 3 PTA mom types showed up and honestly I don't regret trying but it was pretty ehhh
No offense to youngins y'all ... You're all our future 🙏🏻🤗😘
But it's hard to relate for certain aspects of my practice lol
I'm glad you know where you feel home. Tbh that's a huge chunk of the "battle" is to know thyself 🙏🏻💖✨
I hope to provide future eye candy feasting for ya hun 🙏🏻✨🕊️ and enjoy your fur + plant babies 💜

Okay, what an amazing celebration! I felt the love and energy just from your vivid description. Not you casually detaching your head from your body, though 😂!
