The Sun's Power is at it's highest peak, it's zenith..and everything kissed by this Magical Sun is something to celebrate!
*
A beautiful time to pick flowers or herbs carrying this Sun's magic! A wonderful to time to enjoy nature's gifts and create an arrangement, a Nature Mandala, a Solstice Meditation..also Floral Head-Wreathes and Crowns to wear ..all beautiful ways of celebrating the Beauty of Nature and honoring the Sun.
The Power of the SUN and the Longest Day...
Many love to gather sacred plants on the Solstice... as it is when the Sun is at it's most magical potentcy and power! A very powerful day.....and then from that point the Sun decreases in it's power..so it is a powerful day to gather Memories and Energy and Magic in the Form of Nature's Kingdom.
*
Of course..Nature is powerful every day and in every moment..but it is wonderful to observe and honor those heightened times when nature's vibration is shifting and creating new changes! Natural Miracles are Blessings!
Gather special things..make a special Solstice Creation-bottle with flowers or special tokens..and fill it with all your positive wishes, dreams, creative intentions...wishes for the world ..your own dreams..a dedication to honor nature and the Sun...

Gathering Herb Bundles, Floral Bundles,
bundles for Smudge Sticks and making Nature Crowns and Lavender Wands
is also a fun tradition
to spend outside creating that day!
Enjoy their floral scent in a room , or as decoration. Tied and fastened with hemp cord in your favorite color is a nice touch!

For Smudge Bundles and Herb Bundles: Gather a large bunch, cut them all the same length..they will shrink down a bit..fasten a spiral around them, tighten with hemp cord..hang them up to dry in a dark airy space..and enjoy once fully dried. Lovely for special celebrations.
A fun activity to do out in the the Solstice Sun..
Make sure to bring a crown of course..when making these Royal Solstice Treaures!
*Special Note*
(* always know how to Properly Identify plants or seek an expert!) If you use smudge sticks for burning , always use Safety First, use a smudge bowl and make sure it is a scent/plants you are not allergic to etc )
Smudge sticks are traditionally burned, but they can simply be used as Decoration and enjoyed for their scent and beauty. I enjoy them as decorations and as herbal bundles and wands.

Another beautiful tradition is leaving any special stones or beads and charms outside/ or in the windowsill as the sun rises for Solstice. A Natural way to fill stones and beads with Solstice Magic.
Solstice is all about the Sun..and spending the day Celebrating the Sun.
It is wonderful to create beaded bracelets and necklaces and Suncatchers etc..in this Sun Festival to make memories. It will carry that special power!

I love making lavender and rosemary wands. If it rains on the solstice, I put out a special bowl to capture the rain then transfer it to a stoppered bottle.
I like your idea of a wish bottle.
I enjoy seeing all your magical preparations KiKi. Cheers to the sun! We could not be without it for long. Your abundant joy is like a wave moving across the sea. It cheers me. ;>)
Thank you Kiki! I just LOVE the Wish Bottle idea (mine will have to hold quite a few :0) I will go now with a heart full of song and light. Thank you! XO

What charming ideas. I've made lavender wands,but never smudge sticks. I think I'll give it a go. "We too can be creative like the SUN and Shine in all directions..." What beautiful words to live by.

Just over from Alina's blog. I love your ideas! I was up with the sun, but be had fog this morning... so I'm waiting for it come out to warm our world for the longest day of the year. I love your lavender wands, and I think I'll gather my sons (who set their gems out to charge in the sun often) and we'll celebrate together today! Love your blog~ Vicki

A timely post filled with Solstice Magic, Kiki, and perfect to read today. Happy Summer, creative friend :) This is one of my favorite nights of the year!
Summer solstice has always been one of my favorites and I totally forgot about it until just a few moments ago. Lovely, beautiful post about the magical power of the sun. It always makes me feel, magically, BETTER in spite of whatever is going on. YOU are like the sun...you spread light and share hope and peace. Thank you for that!!
Happy Summer Solstice, KiKi :-)
So beautiful and of course filled with magic!
Love your herb wands ... I haven't seen the lavender hemp cord, where do you find it? So pretty with the lavender!
Lovely photos.
