This is the domain of the longest day – the sun has reached it’s height and light bathes our worlds.

It is the longest days and nights that hold the greatest magic. The veil between the worlds grows thin and the old Gods walk the earth again.

The Oak Moon rules over this time, lending her magic to prosperity and security.

The month of June was named Oak ‘Duir’ in the celtic calendar. Juno, casts her protection over this month. She, consort of Jupiter who was king of the trees and held the oak sacred.

Take this time as an opportunity to cleanse yourself and release past misfortunes.

The past does not predict the present nor the future.

Surround yourself with scents and sights which open up strength and new beginnings to you. Enjoy rosewood, cypress, geranium, bay and the clean new smell of oak leaves themselves.

I’m wearing a gown of green velvet and a crown of oak leaves, there are sacred fires and the scent of woodsmoke on the wind.

You may not be able to travel down the mountain to our party but we’d love for you to join us all the same.
