The Longest Day

Today is the summer solstice , the longest day of the entire year .Here is a picture of the sun rise over Stonehenge in England .

In ancient times this day and this night were thought to hold magical powers .


Sacred ceremonies were held in special places like Stonehenge and Glastonbury in temples made of free standing stones .



There have been many things written about about this special time all through the ages . One of the more famous is William Shakespeare's " A Midsummers Night Dream".


Whatever you do today , I hope it is magical for you .
