Summer Solstice in Milton Meadow

Well, I’m still recovering from the celebratory celebrations of the past twelve hours - and what acelebration it was! Once again, the druid fluid flowed freely like water of the River Raven and good times were had by all.

Everyone turned up who said they would; Amber Chakra, Dan Rockery (all the way from the US), Mike Butter and members of the ‘Herefordshire Hedonistic Druid Society’. Unfortunately, my lovely neighbour Gwen Goodie and her brigade stood united at the edge of the field wielding banners and singing ‘Oh come all ye faithful’ very loudly (trying in fact, to drown out a great set from ‘Chakra’s Children’). Some revellers decided to throw abuse back, unfortunately this only elevated the situation so we just ignored them.

Sunrise was at 4.18am and was a glorious sight (apart from some slight drizzle). Everyone cheered, chanted, danced and embraced the rising of the SunGod and it was truly a magical experience.

Unfortunately, my head is still throbbing so I’m going to have to lay down, take some herbal remedies and sleep off a hangover the size of Reading!

Blessed be,
Dom
