I'd like to with everyone a Blessed Litha!

The Holly King rises and the Oak King steps back, now we turn towards winter.

I visited the Rollright Stones on Friday and setup a small altar, it's becoming a little tradition for me. However you choose to celebrate it, may your celebration be peaceful and joyous!

A little late for #yule, but we are arguably still in the #yuletide season. I found this beautiful #song on #youtube and thought I would share it.

The #oakking and #hollyking lore is part of many #neopagan traditions. Here's some info about it here:

It is my belief that modern queer practitioners have a responsibility to reinterpret, and even to create anew, myths and practices that enable us to more deeply connect to spirit in a way that affirms our sexuality, rather than ignoring it.

So it's been a hell of a year but I'm half way up this magnificent oak on nearly the darkest day and I'm thinking how trees are rather better at dying than people. Bits of trees die all the time and they just accept it and carry on. Plus its nearly solstice so the oak king is about to be reborn. Lessons...
