The Midsummer Fire: Harnessing the Solar Peak - Ancient Fire Rituals for Modern Vitality
The summer solstice holds a secret-and it can change your life.
For thousands of years, our ancestors gathered at the peak of the year to light bonfires, honor the sun, and celebrate the turning of the seasons. They understood something we have forgotten: the solstice is not just an astronomical event-it is a mirror of our own lives.
You were meant to burn bright.
The summer solstice is the peak of the year-the longest day, the most powerful moment of the sun. But for many of us, peak seasons come with a quiet dread. We feel the weight of visibility. We brace for the fall. We dim our light even as it reaches its brightest point.
The Midsummer Fire shows you a different way.
Drawing on thousands of years of history-from Celtic bonfires to Norse solar goddesses, from the Green Man to the wisdom of fire rituals-this book is a guide to standing in your full power without burning out.
