Celtic Tree Month of Holly July 8 to August 4

From LearnReligions.com

Although the Oak ruled in the previous month, its counterpart, the Holly, takes over in July. This evergreen plant reminds us all year long about the immortality of nature. The Holly moon was called Tinne, pronounced chihnn-uh, by the Celts, who knew the potent Holly was a symbol of masculine energy and firmness. The ancients used the wood of the Holly in the construction of weapons, but also in protective magic. Hang a sprig of Holly in your house to ensure good luck and safety to your family. Wear as a charm, or make Holly Water by soaking leaves overnight in spring water under a full moon — then use the water as a blessing to sprinkle on people or around the house for protection and cleansing.

From Ireland-Calling.com

While the oak was the controller of the light half of the year, the holly controlled the dark, winter months.

It shares another quality with the oak in that it is resistant to lightning, its spikey leaves acting as mini conductors.

It was thus, also associated with the same Celtic and Norse gods of thunder, Taranis and Thor, and was often planted near dwellings to protect folk from lightning strikes.

Protective qualities

Druids believed the holly to possess protective qualities, guarding against evil spirits and witchcraft.

It was thought that bringing the leaves inside during the winter months would provide shelter from the cold for the fairy folk, who in return would be kind to those who inhabited the dwelling.

When new Celtic Chieftains were chosen, a wreath of holly was often used as a crown for good luck and new-born babies were bathed in the water from the leaves to protect them from harm.

Although taking cuttings was encouraged in this way, due to its protective qualities, it was considered unlucky to cut down a whole tree.

Holly formed part of Jesus’ crown of thorns

Today holly is perhaps most associated with Christmas, when, following the old traditions, it adorns the houses as part of yule-tide decoration and festivities.

However, according to Christian beliefs, holly formed part of the crown of thorns worn at the crucifixion.

It was the blood of Christ that stained the holly berries red and it was the Christians who gave the holly tree its name from the word holy.

Holly berries are poisonous to humans but a good winter food source for birds. The leaves of the holly tree were used to treat colds and fevers largely associated with the winter months.

As a flower remedy holly is said to rid people of jealousy and hatred and open the heart to love.

Celtic Tree Month – Holly July 8 – August 4

Holly – guards against spirits and witchcraft

In Celtic mythology, the holly was the evergreen twin of the oak.

While the oak was the controller of the light half of the year, the holly controlled the dark, winter months.

It shares another quality with the oak in that it is resistant to lightning, its spikey leaves acting as mini conductors.

It was thus, also associated with the same Celtic and Norse gods of thunder, Taranis and Thor, and was often planted near dwellings to protect folk from lightning strikes.

Tinne, T – At midsummer the Holly King wins his battle with the Oak King and power over the dark months is his. This is possibly why holly appears as the eighth month in the Celtic tree calendar, following oak and holly is the eighth letter in the ogham alphabet, tinne.

It was the blood of Christ that stained the holly berries red and it was the Christians who gave the holly tree its name from the word holy.

Holly berries are poisonous to humans but a good winter food source for birds. The leaves of the holly tree were used to treat colds and fevers largely associated with the winter months.

Amongst the archetypes used when talking about this sign there is the Mother. In June and July, there is a slight peak in the number of chief executives. Famous people born on July 1 under the Cancer zodiac sign: Princess Diana, Pamela Anderson, Liv Tyler and Estee Lauder.

If you were born on July 1, you’re sensitive, capable, and adaptable. Life has been long, and you have battled through tough times of your own — but you continuously emerge stronger on the other side. You’re deep and often introverted, craving meaningful conversations with a small group of loved ones. There’s a lot of love around you, so pay attention to the positive people and things that can offer you the support you need on heavy days.

July 01 Cancer at Their Best: Sweet, loyal, strong

July 01 Cancer at Their Worst: Depressed, serious, shy

What to Wear: Khaki shorts, patio dresses and flip-flops. This constantly comfy creature may even show up in a favorite beach cover-up or Hawaiian shirt.

What to Eat: Totally simple, homemade fair — anything from macaroni and cheese to hamburgers and hot dogs, accompanied by Mom’s secret cole slaw and potato salad as sides.

Who to Invite: If you don’t think a normal adult would want to extend invites to an eclectic group of slightly weird family members, Cancer might surprise you.

Where to Go: Home. Your house, or better yet — theirs. A party where all the guests yell “Surprise!“ would produce tears of total joy, even if it wasn’t unexpected.

JULY 1 birthday horoscope predicts that you are a lively and charitable Crab. You can be adventurous, determined and shrewd. Typically, you are easy to be hurt. However, you strive for perfection. You always aim to do everything with total determination.

The July 1st birthday personality characteristics say you also have an unbelievable talent for recalling things with great detail. You do not forget much including a grudge.

Mostly, you are an easygoing personality who loves nature and people. Your insight usually is in tune with your imagination, so you are always thinking of new and creative ways to connect reality with the dream world.

Also, you can think fast and make snap decisions. However, professionally, you can be anything you choose mainly due to your compassionate and determined personality.

As the zodiac sign for July 1st is Cancer, you can show negative traits of being unpredictable as you have a short fuse. Because you are impulsive, you can overreact to situations when there is no need to be defensive.

According to the July 1 astrology analysis, you can be a loving but defensive lover. You who are born under this zodiac sign feel a need to protect your independence. You will love your partner but at the same time want to be your boss.

The July 1st zodiac meanings also suggest that you may be a little idealist or naive when it comes to love. Sadly, reality sets you up for disappointment and truth. Normally, you are an independent creature who enjoys the idea of freedom.

While the person born under the zodiac sign of Cancer wants affection and companionship, you can find it difficult to express your emotions or to feel not even to your soul mate. It is a shield, but in a lasting relationship, couples should not keep secrets from each other. Trust is an essential part of the relationship.

Attempting to keep the peace, you will avoid an argument. You would rather be somewhere cuddling with your Boo. The July 1st Horoscope predicts that the company you keep is fortunate to have you around, as you are a sensual and passionate lover.

The Cancer zodiac birthday personality loves to shower his or her lover with many gifts and surprises. You invest a lot of yourself into a relationship. So you are jealous of anyone who comes in between you both and the time you spend with your special someone.

If today July 1 is your birthday, you are great at doing so many things that a career choice can be easy or hard depending on how you look at it. It is easy to say choose a career in the social services field or medical field because you love giving.

It is hard because you are intuitive and can make stressful decisions with confidence and quickly. You have a sharp mind for business deals. Both can provide job gratification, and whichever profession you choose, you may invest a big part of your life to it.

Cancer birthday people born today need stability, and you are always prepared for life’s unexpected financial burdens. Although you can afford it, you decide if you need it before you buy it.

The July 1 birthday personality traits also show that your biggest health concern is your tendency to overindulge or to starve yourself. This may be an indication of your mood. As your appetite varies, you are prone to infections and fatigue. You could exercise to increase both energy and appetite.

As you eat more and eat more of the right foods and get the right amount of exercise, you will be fit and toned. A sign of a healthy body is a healthy spirit. When you are weighed down with burdens, you tend to keep them hidden and worry by yourself. Those born on this day are likely not to be themselves in these times.

The Cancer, according to the July 1 horoscope analysis, are hard to predict as you can have a short fuse. Because you are spontaneous, you can make a mountain out of a molehill.

However, in your career, you can expect immense success due to your kind and motivated personality. Harmony is what you seek to achieve once you have decided on a soul mate. You love to surround yourself with lavish furnishings and designer clothes.

Date night! As tonight is Valentine’s Day for those who celebrate or care, which I don’t because every day is the Thunderdome of love up in this house, Venus is here to help bring everyone closer…rawr. But not just romantically, friendship is for Friday too. Anything to draw more love to you is for Friday, whether it’s self-love, sexual love or even mending a rift. Fridays are my best bath days too. Not just for purification, but have you ever done a glamour? Mirror mirror on the wall. I have a friend who found out I was a witch and in the conversation, I told her about a glamour because she had a date. She looked right at me and said “You bitch. I knew there were nights you just looked too good. That’s not fair” We used to go out back when we were both single. The feminine power of Venus is also good for crafting, harvesting herbs, making potions, and just flat getting your drink on. Now we all know why I go live on Fridays. Secret is out.

Thursday is the fifth day of the week.   In the Norse languages this day is called Torsdag, honoring Thor, the god of strength, fertility, thunder, the protector and defender in war, and son of Odin.  Thor is the counterpart of Zeus (Greek), and Jupiter or Jove (Roman).  Thor, the most beloved of the great gods of northern mythology, is the only god who cannot cross from earth to heaven across the rainbow bridge, for he is so heavy and powerful that the gods fear it will break under his weight.  It was said that whenever his hammer Mjollnir, was thrown, it would produce a thunderbolt and when struck against stone, it would create lightning.

Banish Procrastination NOW

Procrastinate (verb) :

“To keep delaying something that must be done, often because it is unpleasant or boring”.

One of the biggest obstacles to moving forward in life is the habit of postponing tasks, in other words, procrastinating. This is especially true when it comes to learning how to become a Witch. We all find ourselves postponing our daily meditations or find reasons not to cast spells other do our witches’ homework. 🔮

A spell to stop procrastinating should be quick and easy to do, otherwise we will postpone the casting of this very spell! That’s why this simple technique works. If the habit of procrastinating has become your number one enemy, try this easy Wiccan spell:

Simple spell for ending procrastination without ingredients. Stop procrastinating once and for all doing this easy ritual and get stuff done once and for all!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

  • Focus

HOW TO CAST THE SPELL

Think about the task you want to do, avoiding the words “I have to…” or “I should…”. These type of phrases imply that you have no choice, that you won’t do it unless you must. For example, never say to yourself: “I have to study”.

Say to yourself something like “I choose to study now”, or “I am ready to study” (replace with the task you are about to do). This way of thinking implies that you have control and it helps you avoid procrastination.

When you’re ready, count down in your head: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 — and do it!

Quit whatever it is you are doing and get to work on the task.

Summer Solstice vs. Winter Solstice

Summer Solstice vs. Winter Solstice

What’s the Difference?

Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are two significant astronomical events that mark the extremes of the Earth’s axial tilt. Summer Solstice occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere, while Winter Solstice takes place around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and June 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. During Summer Solstice, the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun experiences the longest day of the year, with the Sun reaching its highest point in the sky. In contrast, Winter Solstice brings the shortest day of the year, with the Sun at its lowest point in the sky. These solstices have cultural and historical importance, often celebrated with various rituals and festivals around the world.

Further Detail

Introduction

The solstices are significant astronomical events that mark the changing of seasons. The Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are two of the most well-known solstices, occurring in opposite hemispheres of the Earth. While the Summer Solstice represents the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice marks the shortest day of the year. In this article, we will explore the attributes of both solstices, highlighting their unique characteristics and the impact they have on various aspects of life.

Summer Solstice

The Summer Solstice, also known as Midsummer, is a time when the Northern Hemisphere experiences the longest day and shortest night of the year. It usually falls on June 20th or 21st. This astronomical event occurs when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is most inclined towards the sun, resulting in the sun reaching its highest point in the sky.

One of the most notable attributes of the Summer Solstice is the extended daylight hours. The sun rises early and sets late, providing ample time for outdoor activities and enjoyment of the warm weather. This extended daylight has a significant impact on agriculture, as it allows for increased photosynthesis and growth of crops. Farmers take advantage of this period to maximize their harvests and ensure bountiful yields.

Furthermore, the Summer Solstice holds cultural and spiritual significance in many societies. It is celebrated in various ways around the world, often with festivals, bonfires, and rituals. For example, the ancient monument of Stonehenge in England attracts thousands of visitors who gather to witness the sunrise on this special day. The solstice is seen as a time of renewal, abundance, and connection with nature.

Additionally, the Summer Solstice has a profound impact on wildlife. Many animals, such as birds, migrate during this time, taking advantage of the extended daylight to find food and build nests. It is also a crucial period for plant pollination, as the longer days provide more opportunities for insects and birds to carry out this essential process.

In terms of climate, the Summer Solstice brings warmer temperatures and the onset of summer. It is a time when people flock to beaches, lakes, and other outdoor destinations to enjoy the sun and engage in recreational activities. The longer days and increased sunlight also have positive effects on human health, as exposure to sunlight stimulates the production of vitamin D, which is essential for bone health and overall well-being.

Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice, also known as Midwinter, is the counterpart to the Summer Solstice. It occurs around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere when the Earth’s axis is tilted furthest away from the sun. As a result, the Winter Solstice represents the shortest day and longest night of the year.

One of the most prominent attributes of the Winter Solstice is the limited daylight hours. The sun rises late and sets early, leading to longer periods of darkness. This reduced sunlight has implications for various aspects of life, including agriculture, human activities, and wildlife behavior.

In terms of agriculture, the Winter Solstice marks a period of dormancy for many crops. The limited sunlight and colder temperatures slow down plant growth, and farmers often use this time to prepare for the upcoming spring season. It is a time for planning, maintenance, and reflection on the previous year’s harvest.

From a cultural perspective, the Winter Solstice holds significant meaning in many societies. It is often associated with celebrations and festivals that embrace the return of light and the promise of longer days. For example, the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia and the modern-day celebration of Christmas both coincide with the Winter Solstice. These festivities bring people together, fostering a sense of warmth, joy, and hope during the darkest time of the year.

Furthermore, the Winter Solstice affects wildlife behavior in various ways. Many animals adapt to the limited daylight by hibernating or migrating to warmer regions. The scarcity of food during this time also influences the feeding patterns of certain species. Additionally, the Winter Solstice provides unique opportunities for observing nocturnal animals and appreciating the beauty of the night sky.

In terms of climate, the Winter Solstice brings colder temperatures and the official start of winter. It is a time when people bundle up in warm clothing, gather around fireplaces, and engage in indoor activities. The limited daylight can have an impact on mental health, as some individuals may experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD) due to reduced exposure to sunlight. However, the Winter Solstice also offers a chance for introspection, rest, and rejuvenation.

Conclusion

The Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are two significant astronomical events that mark the changing of seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. While the Summer Solstice represents the longest day and brings extended daylight, warmth, and abundance, the Winter Solstice marks the shortest day and brings limited daylight, colder temperatures, and a time for reflection. Both solstices hold cultural, agricultural, and ecological importance, shaping various aspects of life on Earth. Whether it’s celebrating the sun’s zenith during the Summer Solstice or embracing the return of light during the Winter Solstice, these celestial events remind us of the cyclical nature of our planet and the interconnectedness of all living beings.

10 Winter Solstice Rituals to Welcome the Season’s Magic

As the wheel of the year once again turns toward the chill of winter, I find myself eagerly anticipating the quiet hush that descends with the snow. The Winter Solstice, a time of equal night and day, beckons us into a world of stillness, a pause in the breath of the earth before the slow exhale into longer days.

This celestial event marks a pivotal point in our journey around the sun, a moment of balance before the scales tip towards the growing light. It’s a perfect moment to pause and think about what this change brings to our lives. Remember, everything in life is cyclical – there’s always something ending and something else beginning. Today, we’ve got a list of some of our favorite Winter Solstice Rituals to help you celebrate the end of long dark days.

What is the Winter Solstice?

The winter solstice is a point in time when the night is at its longest and the day its shortest. It is marked by the Sun’s most southerly position relative to the celestial equator, an occurrence that takes place around December 21 or 22 in the Northern Hemisphere and around June 20 or 21 in the Southern Hemisphere. This celestial event signifies the start of winter, a period that extends until the spring equinox.

Embracing the Stillness

The Winter Solstice invites us to embrace the stillness and the introspective nature of the season. It’s a profound time to gather close, sharing the warmth of hearth and home while feasting on winter’s offerings like root vegetables, hearty stews, nuts, and citrus fruits.

The winter solstice, also known as Yule, is the deepest part of winter – a time for rest and renewal. It’s celebrated with quiet reflection, cozy gatherings, and rituals that honor the longest night and the rebirth of the sun. It’s a moment to light candles, share stories, and set intentions for the returning light.

Each chapter of our lives brings its unique lessons, just as the seasons change and bring their own forms of energy. Honoring the winter solstice helps us to cultivate inner strength and resilience as we navigate life’s colder, more reflective times.

The Wheel of the Year turns, and with it, we find guidance for living a life of harmony. It teaches us to flow with the natural rhythms of the earth, celebrating our connection to the cycles of nature. By observing these ancient traditions, we align ourselves with the natural world, finding a more balanced approach to life that honors our need for rest, reflection, and connection during the winter months.

10 Winter Solstice Rituals

In the spirit of this introspective season, I invite you to join me in embracing the stillness through ten heartfelt Winter Solstice rituals that honor the quietude and depth of winter:

1) Welcome the Dawn

One of my favorite winter solstice rituals is to greet the new dawn. On the morning of the solstice, rise while the stars still twinkle in the pre-dawn sky, finding your place in the world’s hushed tones before the day begins. Stand in the crisp air, feeling the stillness of the earth, and watch with reverence as the horizon slowly brightens.

Engage all your senses as the first light creeps across the sky, expressing silent gratitude for the sun’s return after the longest night. Notice as the world transitions from night to day—perhaps it’s the frost sparkling on the grass, the early birds’ tentative chirping, or the fresh scent of pine in the cold morning air.

With the light’s gentle increase, offer your words of appreciation and love to the dawn. Speak of the beauty found in the quiet, the peace of the world at rest, and the promise of the lengthening days to come. You might leave behind a heartfelt gift to the morning—a written verse, a hand-drawn sketch, or a splash of water on the earth—anything that feels like a fitting tribute to the solstice morn.

As the sun rises, take a deep breath, filling your lungs with the cold, pure air, and then retreat indoors to enjoy a warm mug of winter spice herbal tea. This act of welcoming the dawn on the winter solstice is a profound reminder of the ever-turning wheel of the year and the continuous cycle of renewal and rebirth.

5) Journaling by Firelight

8) Restorative Yoga

10 Beautiful Rituals for Summer Solstice

Celebrate the first day of summer on December 21st with these rituals for summer solstice. May they bring you joy, love, and light in your life.

In nature-based faiths, the summer solstice is known as Litha and is considered one of the most sacred sabbats of the year. It marks the start of the summer months and the longest day of the year before the nights start to grow longer again.

People gather at Stonehenge for day and night long celebrations watching the sun align and shine through a certain point in the structure. In its most basic essence, this day is a celebration of the sun and that it is still shining on us. It will go out one day—but we should revel in our good fortune that we were born at this point in Earth’s evolution. The solstice also holds deeper nature metaphors for life, fertility, and the cycle of time and seasons. No matter what your view of spirituality or nature, it’s always worth celebrating when there’s sunshine involved!

It’s Summer Solstice!

What better time to get together with friends, family, and loved ones, and celebrate the source of all life? What better time to acknowledge the life force energy within us and give back to Creation some of the energy and blessings that we are always receiving. The Earth constantly provides for all of us with her incredible bounty, and the Sun’s warmth provides the light necessary for all living beings to thrive and prosper.

Creating ceremonies, celebrations, or rituals for summer solstice is a way for humans to express gratitude for these gifts. We have so many things to be thankful for—our families, our friends, our homes—and there are so many ways we can express our gratitude for those things: through words and actions, through gifts and offerings, through celebration.

The summer solstice is a great day on which to create your own ceremony or ritual of gratitude. It’s also a good time to connect with nature; find someplace where you can sit in silence with just yourself and your thoughts. There’s something invigorating about spending time alone in nature; it helps us reconnect with ourselves as well as with the natural world around us.

Rituals for Summer Solstice

1. Gather herbs

One of my favorite rituals for summer solstice is to gather plants and healing herbs as our ancestors did. Five common Celtic sacred plants associated with Midsummer are St. John’s Wort, Vervain, Yarrow, Fern, and Mugwort.

Manifold ceremonial features are associated with the Midsummer celebrations, but the lore of herbs and plants traditionally took the center spotlight around this special festivity. Herbs constitute a strong element for celebrating the Midsummer solstice due to their strong connections with magical and healing powers.

Cernunnos’ Abundance Prayer

The Celtic Forest God, Cernunnos, gets his name from a Latin word which means “the horned one”. His original name was lost but the name Cernunnos was inscribed in the Pilier des Nautes, a Gaelic-Roman monument found under the Notre Dame cathedral, in Paris, France in 1711.

As a Horned God, he can take the place of consort of the Goddess in the Wiccan Pantheon (God and Goddess). And as a primordial deity in Neopagan traditions, his male principality makes him often be merged with other gods such as Pan and the Green Man.

He is believed to be the god of abundance and ruler of wild animals. His nature is essentially earthly. He is usually depicted with the ears and horns of a deer and wearing a “torque”, the sacred neck ornament of Celtic gods and heroes.

Devotional text

Cernunnos, Guardian of the cauldron of plenty, I call to You.
Horned One, Dark One, Receiver of the Dead, Granter of Rest, I call to You.
God of freedom, God of sexuality, God of cleansing, God of rebirth, I call to You.
Mighty Lord of the Woods and Animals, Hunter and Hunted, I call to You.

I pray you to be present with me in this Sacred Space.
Let Your gaze fall upon this Sacred Ground.
In-dwell my rite and give me Your blessing.
Great Horned One, come into the Circle!

Pour over me the gift of your wealth, and place in my hands the spirit of fortune.
Let the gold and silver come from the four corners of the world and bless me.

Because you are a god that creates and multiplies,
From the top of my head to the soles of my feet,
Surround me with a stream of wealth.
Unleash your prosperity and let health and protection accompany me.

I hear your words, Cernunnos, the voice of the Horned One,  Whose names are uncountable:
You are the wild hunter of the forest deep,
You are the fire upon the hill, And the sower of the seed,

The wilderness is your shrine.
You wield the oaken staff, the elements at your call.
By day you are the sun, by night you ride upon the wild winds
For all things wild and free are in your keeping.

And all things of beauty and freedom and love delight you.
You are the Ancient One. Your faces outnumber the stars.
I am the Horned One of uncountable names, you are the gentle and the fierce
You are Cernunnos, the Ancient One, Lord and Sire of the Universe.

Ahhh Jupiter, you giant dick. While he is the go-to for power, money and good fortune, he’s about the long game. Fast money? Nope. He will give you more of what you have, so if you’re broke, you may be even more impoverished if you use any of his influence. Be careful with them herbs. Looking for justice? Thursday. Signing contracts or making big money moves? Thursday. Abundance looks different to everyone, but this is the day of plenty….sometimes that is just plenty of what you already have man. I’m serious here. My money spells done in the past before I got my shit together created lasting wounds. Expansion is painful when it comes from a space of lack. I said “I need money! I am broke” and he said “Hold my beer you desperate witch” and then I cried. Great money day if you are attracting what you are, but not what you want. I speak from my own experience and yours may differ, but if your money spells have backfired, look at the day and associations. If you see anything, take note. Everyone is different but I am not even ashamed to say that it took me years to figure this one out for my own magic. Good day for court and child support I must say.
