Summer begins today!
The Light of Illumination appears in the head.
The Sun stands still in the heavens.
Summer Solstice today, Thursday, June 20, 2024.

At 1:51pm (PT), when the Sun enters the 4th Gate, the Gate into matter, the Gate of Cancer, summer in our northern latitudes begins.
Last night in our garden a baby deer rested under a fallen cedar tree. Spots still on her coat. She had just been born.
In Cancer, the deer stand at the Temple door.
And so…
Today the seasons change.
From Spring to Summer. And it’s Summer Solstice!

And so this year, 2024, June 20th, Thursday, is the Summer Solstice – it is the high point of our solar year, when nature is at perfection. The magical transformation of hard brown seeds into flower and color has culminated.

The solstices and equinoxes tell us a story about light four times a year. Light pierced the heart of matter (the core of the Earth) during Winter Solstice, when Earth was in darkness.

At Spring Equinox, the light rose up from the core of the Earth and touched the roots with a globe of green fire.
Now, at Summer Solstice, there is a powerful radiation of released light in all plants and trees. Their waving about is actually a movement of ecstasy. Earth is in a state of joy, fullness well-being.

The angelic kingdom – fairies, and devas (the builders of form) – can be contacted more easily and intimately at this time.
Summer Solstice marks the time when their great work of mixing and manipulating color, light, and sound to produce chlorophyll in plants is complete.

In the etheric realms, fairy dancing and feasting takes place in fields and meadows everywhere in northern latitudes.

Shakespeare’s Midsummer’s Night Dream describes accurately the inner workings of nature during Summer Solstice. Filled with drama concerning occult truths and the Mysteries of Initiation, the play lasts for four days, the same amount of time the Sun in Cancer is poised at its northernmost position perpendicular to the Earth.

A marriage feast performed by the fairies at this time acknowledges the uniting of the feminine (receptive Earth) and masculine (radiating Light) poles.
This is also the significance of Cancer’s glyph.

The Hierarchy of Cancer, also called the Cherubim, are responsible for the appearance of all forms on Earth. It is through Cancer that birth is made possible. The Cherubim protect mother and babies in all the kingdoms, from conception, birth and well into the early years of life for each new being born on earth.

Summer Solstice is under the guardianship of the Archangel Uriel, the constellation Cancer, and the blue-white Ray 2 Sirius, the star that stimulates the power of beauty. And from where love originates.

These are all esoteric teachings. Yesterday’s posting was also the esoteric teachings.

The esoteric wisdom teachings – illuminating for the heart & Soul of each of us. love to all on this solstice day today. I will be in the garden today during the time of solstice. Risa

Note:
1. The graphics below illuminate the head of disciples when filled with the light of the previous year’s sun & moon seeds. The light from the coming together of the pineal & pituitary in the 3rd ventricle – the marriage bed, the place of “conception” for the Light of the Soul. At summer solstice, there is a harvesting of the new & full moon seeds, resulting in a flash of light in the head. New revelations then proceed forth. This is called the Immaculate Conception.

2. Litha is another name for the beginning of summer…the Anglo Saxon word for Midsummer or Summer Solstice.
