Today’s Magic: The Summer Solstice arrives! As the sun reaches its peak, consider this:

“The longest day of the year is a celebration of warmth, abundance, and light. Ancient traditions marked the Solstice by gathering outdoors, honoring the sun, and sharing gratitude for all that grows. Light a candle, brew a cup of lemon balm or chamomile tea, or take a moment to bask in the sun—even if just for a few breaths. These small rituals connect us to the magic woven into this turning of the Wheel.”

Let today be a little ritual:
Open a window, let sunlight flood in, sip something herbal, or jot down what's blooming in your life right now. Happy Solstice!
