21st June – Summer Solstice
Summer Solstice – longest day of the year. The night the Fairies and Elementals hold their big party.
Woke up at 4.45pm to hear banging drums. I had set the alarm for 5.15am to go across the site to where Mark Lepus and his wife Dorra were to be conducting a welcoming the sun drumming ritual at 5.30am. In my panic that we had over slept after just 4 hours sleep I dragged Richard out of bed. Only to discover they were just getting everyone woken up! We took our drums and walked up to the hill where everyone was starting to gather and the sun was starting to rise. It was a really powerful experience with the singing and the drums. Unfortunately not being very rhythmical myself my beat was always just out and then a cheeky fairy said that I was beating the Fairy rhythem! They then told me that on this hill was where their party would be that night. I always took people out at the solstice and equinoxs to see the Fairies to decided I would do a Fairy walk at 10.30pm that night.
We talked Chris Down into coming back to our yurt for breakfast and we chatted til 9am when the stall was to open. I however went to visit Kwali and Kundalini who was awake and up for chatting. She talked to kwali for a good 15 mins telling her about the other snakes and their problems and who wanted to be in a tank with who. Then she told me I was ready to hold her. We went outside and she put her around my neck. Kundanlini kept whispering to me I won’t hurt you, I won’t hurt you and I completely trusted her. She felt lovely around my neck and I felt so pleased that the Violet Flame Ascension Spheres had helped me to get over my snake fear! They are such beautiful animals and have a lot of wisdom to impart to us as a race.
During the day I did a Guardian Elemental workshop teaching people about why they may have a guardian fairy or mermaid with them and took them on a meditation to meet them. In the evening we listened to the music and them watched Kwali and Flame do an amazing Fire Dance which Richard drummed for them. After that we all gathered and I took people on an Elemental walk just teaching them about what Elemental lived where on route to the meadow where the Fairy party was to be. By the time we got to the hill i had about 60 people listening to me and the Fairies. I told them Fairies appear as bright white pinprick flashes of light and if we dropped into the Fairy realm we could see them better. I have not taken as many as 60 people’s energy before down to that level but it worked and people started to see them. After a while I was told the party would start over the lake with undines and kelpies so we turned to look and two minutes later the flashing all began!
It was a magical end to a magical weekend and I would advise any Fairy lovers to attend next year too!
