I had a beautiful Solstice with my children today and thought I would share some pictures. We woke up for the sunrise and later found a gift from the Mother ..... a lovely rainbow!
We read some Solstice books and we also made some sun cookies. We had a big yummy dinner and it was just a great day! Thanks for letting me share!
Sounds wonderful, glad you had a great day Your children are just beautiful. Oh wow, glorious rainbow. What books did you read? (Kathi [Dakota's mom] has been trying to find some)
We mostly read stories from the book 'Circle Round" Which any Pagan parent MUST have.... Also a book called "Celebrating The Great Mother"
"here comes the sun" What beautiful kids you have Yellow Belly! What a great mama they have! That yellow belly sun is really nice too. Yay for longer days! Yay for more sunshine!
Tarabeth, your kids are gorgeous, they all have your eyes. Our tuath celebrated last Sat night. There are so many of us that we have to have gatherings when it's convenient to the group.
It was great. I wore 5th century garb and the green and skulls applejack hat made by hip moon that celt grrl bought me for my birthday. I was like the Celtic HuggyBear. And I drank an entire bottle of bully hill and didn't spill one drop of candlewax on the new carpet... cuz, y'know, I'm a big boy now...
That is so awesome YellowBelly. Last night I was just talking to my husband about what you did with your kids for the Solstice. You've given us a lot of great ideas to do with our kids! Great pictures, thanks for sharing, and glad you all had a great Yule!
Thats awsome! Im glad I was able to give you some ideas. Most all of the ideas I have are from the book Circle Round (a pagan parenting book)
