☀️Summer Solstice☀️
☀️I barely slept last night so I missed the sunrise, but I did go sit out on the front step to greet the sun with my morning tea (honeybush, mandarin, and orange with homemade ginger syrup incase anyone was wondering).
☀️While I harvested some wild grape vine, cow vetch, buttercups, feverfew, catmint, and ferns from the property; I let the sun thaw some beet cubes for offerings to the Antlerless Buck, the deer skull that watches over my garden and outdoor altar.
☀️I wove the grapevine and flowers into a crown, creating sudo-antlers with the catmint and ferns.
☀️Once thawed the beet juice was poured into the skull from where the antlers were cut away as offering*.
*For me, beets are the heart of the earth. Their juice is a symbolic stand-in for blood.
