Episode 83: Dancing with the Solstice Sun With Susan Demeter and Kiki Dombrowski

Photograph by Susan Demeter 2022. Isn’t it lovely?

Happy Summer Solstice, y’all!

The Three Witches have come together again to talk about the magic of Midsummer: the Summer Solstice, Saint John’s Day, whatever you all it. It’s a brilliant and beautiful time of year, and there’s all sorts of lovely things to talk about.

Susan, Kiki and Barbara talk about the elements, the magic of place and time, the ecosphere, the ocean, the mountains, shedding the old and worn out, celebrating yourself through self-care, caring for the animals, watching the birds and bringing their energy into your life, creativity and of course, the Sun herself.

While we talked, Susan’;s window was open, so we have a soundtrack of beautiful Italian sparrows throughout our talk, and she paused and took a photograph of the rainbow that appeared in her mountains while Kiki talked about the power of weather. That rainbow is in the photograph above; there is actually another, nearly invisible one to the right of the obvious one; when I was editing the photograph and upped the contrast excessively, it appeared like magic. If you look closely and you have a good monitor, you can still see it, but just barely.

As always, we had fun with this talk—we don’t really plan these episodes, we just get together and talk and we are so happy to have you along to enjoy the discussion with us.

Happy, Happy Solstice, y’all! Remember, wear sunscreen and look out for ticks!
