The Sun Wheel
(parental loving guidance please) |
|
Materials Needed......
Taking a few pieces of wood...... begin twisting them or
braiding them, then bend to form a circle and fasten with one of the
bindings you have gathered..... After this is done...... it's time to make
an equal arm cross or medicine wheel cross out of two pieces of
wood....... and bind them in the middle..... and then fasten the loose
ends to the circle, and then decorate with different colors and you can
now hang your Sun Wheel up, remembering it's symbology of the High
Point of the season. |

| June 5, 2001 | Full Moon: Our Lady will be in her third phase, totally full. This is the height of her being and fulfillment of all, as the great mother is about to give birth. Her name is "Selene," and many others according to culture. | ||
| June 13, 2001 | Waning Moon: Our Lady will be in her fourth phase, she's waning. Now is the time for breaking down, destruction, doing away with what does not work for healing, and the wisdom for seeing this appears. This is the time of the Dark Mother, Crone, Grandmother, as she does not need light to see into the depths of being. She gives us a choice to see or not to see. The question is "Are we willing to see what is there?" Her name is "Hecate," and many others according to culture. | ||
| June 21, 2001 | New Moon: Our Lady will be in her first phase, she's beginning anew. Her name at this time is "Green Hecate," and many others according to culture. | ||
| June 27, 2001 | Waxing Moon Our Lady will be in her second phase, she's waxing. She is building energy and focusing it for whatever needs arise. Her name at this time is "Diana," and many others according to culture. | ||

Litha, Midsummer, Summer Solstice |
|
Yes, we are finally coming to Litha...... which is the balance of
Yule, for some religious paths...... this marks the High point of Summer,
hence, the longest day of the year..... for other's this marks the
beginning of Summer. For Pagans & Witches this is a Minor Holiday
whereas, for Druids this is a Major Holiday. Still yet, Litha marks the
birthing of the Holly King (the Dark Lord) of which as he grows the light
begins to wane....... just the opposite of the Oak King at Yule.......
This is also the peak of nature...... all of nature abounds with life........
and we go through the harvest periods prior to the dark
months......... |

Lady & Lord Bless Blessed Be |

|
|
At this Litha on the 21st, the Sune enters Cancer, and also a Solar Eclipse. The New Moon is in Gemini: |
|
Gemini Moons are built for activity. This is a mutable sign, so
it likes to move around -- quickly. When the Moon is here, we like to
move around, too. The Moon's costume now is a coat of many colors,
so variety truly becomes the spice of life. Since Gemini is ruled by
Mercury, now is when we're suddenly in the mood for conversation,
puzzles, riddles, and word games. We want two -- at least two -- of
everything, and we're a bit more restless than usual. Now is a great
time for letter writing, phone calls, or short trips. It's when you'll find
the best short cuts, and when you'll need to take them, too. Watch
for a tendency to become a bit scattered under this fun, fickle Moon.

At this Family Litha gathering the Waxing Moon will be in Scorpio: |
|
This fixed, feminine water sign is co-ruled by Mars and Pluto,
so this Moon doesn't mess around. She's all dressed up in
her formal black, looking so good she knows you can't take
your eyes off of her. Scorpio is the most intense sign out there,
and when the Moon is here, she feels everything to the absolute
nth degree -- everything. Needless to say, we do, too.
Passion, joy, jealousy, betrayal, love, and desire all take center
stage in our lives now, as all our emotions deepen to the point of
possible obsession. Be careful of a tendency to
become secretive, suspicious, or to brood or "stew" over an
offense that was not intended. Now is a great time to play
detective, investigate a mystery, do research, "dig" -- both
figuratively and literally -- and allow us to become intimate
with someone.
