In ~8hrs (01:14am GMT) the Sun will be at its most southerly point. Meaning that as of tomorrow days will be getting longer. Yay!
Anyone in the southern hemisphere.

Hooray!"Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency

Solstice is tomorrow.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Through the marshes
And through the filtering glades
Through the corn
And through the scything fields
The summer sun
She dances and rages
The summer sun
Flies burning into the light
And who shall die
At the death of the corn?
Rise, rise, rise!
The sleeping giant awakes
He circles into circling
The wild Wild hunt
Dawn dies at dusk
And Dolly banners are raised
For the death of the corn
They're sealed and shining
With the True Love Knot
And who shall lie
At the death of the corn?
Rise, rise, rise!
Shifting the shapes
That bleed the mountains
You tear apart my body
The corn king dies
Has died, he dies
And dying still
He shall rise again
And sink back into earth
And who shall cry
At the death of the corn?
Rise, rise, rise!
And who will cry?
(The summer sun dances)
And who shall die?
(The summer sun dances)
The death of the corn
Rebirth and reborn
And the true love knot is found
In the death of the corn
And the true love knot is bound
In the death of the corn
And the true love knot is crowned
In the death of the cornThe genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment
