Nothing to do with man-made nonsense. #SummerSolstice #WorldHumanistDay

 Monday 'Moon Day'  June 21st '2021'. Happy Summer Solstice. Happy World Humanist Day


The Summer Solstice. 

In the Northern Hemisphere, June 21st '2021' is the #SummerSolstice, the Longest Day of the year. It is the point in our celestial year when the sun appears to reach its highest point in the sky. In the Southern Hemisphere, it represents the winter solstice when the path of the sun in the sky is at its lowest, the shortest day. For many thousands of years our ancestors would have celebrated this time of year and

Equinox - The Solar reality of seasons. Bring on the plastic festivals.

September 22nd 2017 is the Autumn Equinox for those of us in the Northern hemisphere. When length of light hours & dark hours draw towards #Equilux. The sun appears to pass the equator on it's journey in to the southern hemisphere at it's height. It means shorter hours of daylight as we head towards the winter solstice in December. For the next few weeks of the solar year, we will lose appx 4mins of daylight per day (in UK). Our ancestors would have been acutely aware of exactly what this event meant to their everyday lives. Prepare for longer, colder nights and look out for human celebrations such as Diwali, Halloween, American 'Thanksgiving' and Samhain, all of which are connected to the seasonal changes, harvest and winter moons.

May Day. Maia. Yet another celebration of Spring, nature & our place in the Solar System.

May Day. A solar reality. This year May Day, a holiday in the UK and a celebration for many around the world, has fallen on May 1st. Nowadays, celebrated on the first Moon-day (Monday) of the month of Maia (May), it is an ancient celebration of Spring, Summer, nature and our place in the Solar System. Nothing more. 'Maia' was a Roman goddess of fertility. An ancestral, pagan nod to the continued rising path of the Sun in the sky and the birth & rebirth that it brings about within nature. Nothing to do with fictional gods or made up social constructions like months, calendars, labour days or 'hijacked by religion' nonsense such as Easter, it is simply an acknowledgement of the human animal's place in nature.
