Midsummer 2020

On June 13, 2020 By Mark GreenIn Atheopaganism5 Comments

In the Northern Hemisphere, the long days are upon us*! These are the days of Midsummer. Click here for all the previous posts about this Sabbath.

A Solar Reflection

On June 22, 2019 By Mark GreenIn AtheopaganismLeave a comment

It's the day after Midsummer—at least, here in the Northern Hemisphere—and it's hot and sunny, as one would expect. Meanwhile, the chaos weather of global climate change goes on: Banff had 25 cm of snow last night. I had a quiet Midsummer: set out my Sun Broom to soak up the sun and wove some …
