The summer solstice is June 21st. Here’s what the days before the solstice are actually for, and three things you can start doing right now to make the most of the longest day of the year.
The solstice is a turning point in the wheel of the year. And like any sacred moment, it rewards the people who arrived intentionally.
Before the solstice, clear your space of anything you’re done carrying, physically and energetically. Decide what you’re calling into the next season and write it down. Start leaving water in the sun each morning to charge it with solar energy. These aren’t new age trends. They’re old world practices that almost every culture observed before we stopped paying attention to the sky.
The longest day holds the most light. What you plant in it, you tend all summer. What you release in it, the sun takes.
You have 20 days. Start tonight.
