June is the time of hot sun, growing, and enjoying. Our Ancestors scheduled several celebrations that lead up to Summer Solstice, generally celebrated on June 20, 21, or 22, depending on where you are in the world.
One of the celebrations, held June 1st or 2nd, was a gratitude celebration that honoured the Goddess of Growing Things, and the Sun God for helping things grow. The day and night was filled with fun, thanks, and love. In fact, many couples married on this day. And, now couples marry all through the month of June.
Nature gets in the act because so many birds lay their eggs, and even hatch them during June because this gives the young a chance to grow to maturity before fall, and the cold, set in. If the bird is migratory, then the young have time to prepare for the flight.
This year, the Ancestors urge us to be more prepared for the fall and for the cold. They say that the summer will be short, and that the cold will come early. In Calgary, we still have cold, although we have not had snow since the weekend. Perhaps it is time to stock up on staple goods, flashlights and batteries, or even candles and matches. Set aside a store of water. Being prepared is not just a Boy Scout motto.
