KOSMOS eBooklet: Summer Solstice, St. John's Day

Experiencing the seasons mindfully and consciously connects us with the forces of natural rhythms. Burning incense at the winter solstice, in early spring on Candlemas, or in midsummer on St. John's Day, gives us energy and brings us to our own center - we detach ourselves from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The glaring light of the sun illuminates everything, shining into the hidden. This can encourage us to take a critical look at our current life circumstances. Aspects of maturity and patience belong to the summer solstice. Conditions that are developing and emerging, that need to be resolved, or from which we might soon be able to reap a harvest, require maturation. Patience is part of this. The ability to wait is a quality that sometimes still needs to be learned.

With a description of Celtic-Germanic and Christian roots, tips for celebrating the annual cycle festival in a modern way, and examples of suitable incenses.
