I often spend time thinking about past acheivements, and future goals. Many of my life decisions have been made around thses times. Last year was spent at stonehenge/avebury and west kennet, and (especially at west kennet) amazingly calm,focused, and was able to get in touch with my more spiritual side. Saying this, stonehenge at solstice i would say, is not so much a place excersise spiritual interests and relaxation, as the general atmosphere is more of a celebration/party, which is also good!!
This year i will be spending solstice at home (unfotunately) but i may wander outside onto my balcony to watch the sun rise over drunks falling over and cars zooming past…as that is proably the best view i will get. but during the day, a feast will definately be in order, with decorating my home with a few summer herbs, and relative insense, and celebrating my daughter’s first solstice (well, technically she was at stonehenge last year, just hiding in my tummy!)
Happy solstice to everyone….no matter what it means to you…. Hope you all have a wicked day xxxxxxx:group_hug

June 17, 2007 at 9:55 am #1112979it’s also rather nice to spend the night with 1000’s of people without the whoomp whoomp whoomp of a sound system…
i’ve also enjoyed it even when it rains – finding that there’s a certain sense of celtic hardcoreness making it through a grotty night to the sunrise.
two of my favourite things are the way the noise of drumming and general crowd noises are much louder inside the stone circle as it acts a bit like a reflective speaker, while outside is quieter (also muffled by surrounding bodies)… and the way that if it’s raining (not torrential tho) quite often it won’t be raining in the centre of the stones, due to the thermal mass of packed people dancing, heat rises and deflects the rain to the outside of the stones. some call it magic 😉
haven’t been for the last 2 yrs, was at sunrise festie last year and off up north the year before, so really looking forward to going back this year, despite the rubbish weather forcast (runs thru checklist… waterproof top and bottoms, umbrella, shoes that don’t leak, bit of camping mat for sitting on, warming liquid in hip flask, hot thermos, and suncream for when the rain breaks and the sun comes out in the morn 🙂
