As many
will know, the Summer Solstice this year for us here in the Northern hemisphere
(and Winter Solstice, of course, for the Southern hemisphere) falls close to the
time of the ‘biggest full moon’. This is the full moon of the year when the
moon is closest to the earth. For those interested in astrology, it is at 11.32am
in 2deg. of Capricorn in opposition to the sun (as with every full moon) in
2deg. of Cancer, sign of the Mother, on Sunday 23rd June.
What is
interesting for me is that the sun and moon are in harmonious aspect to the
position of the sun in the White Eagle Lodge’s horoscope (2deg. of Pisces). I feel
that this indicates a special spiritual opportunity for us—indeed a call—to
give back to the earth on this day. (This applies wherever we are in the world.)
It will be
a very powerful time spiritually and I am sure that White Eagle is asking his
members and friends to take this time as an opportunity for a global link-up
between us all, focusing on Earth healing. We feel that to make the attunement
on the nearest Sunday to the solstice is the best time, and here at New Lands
we shall be holding a Sunday service in the morning and our prayer for sending
out the light in this service will be devoted to enfolding all the kingdoms of
nature in the healing light of the Christ Star. In the afternoon we will have
singing and chanting, culminating in our special ‘Sun-Earth’ ceremony in the
cross-within-the-circle in the Temple
field (weather permitting). Some of our Regional Star Centres in the UK and
some around the world will be holding their own special ceremonies too, so
White Eagle’s call is for us all to join together on the inner plane—even if we
are physically quite on our own—and be part of this heartfelt giving back to
the earth.
I
thought you might find inspiring this extract from A Journey Within for Healing the Earth from White Eagle’s book EARTH HEALER :
‘I walk
on Mother Earth and by Mother Earth I am supported and nourished. I walk
beneath the canopy of the wide sky, which speaks to me also of the invisible
worlds of spirit, and of the dignity of life.
I draw close to the Great Spirit
in my heart, to our Father-Mother God. In this presence I remember that deep
within my heart is the light of the spiritual Sun, which draws heaven and earth
together. The light of
the Sun is within all physical form and beyond form.
Through
the spiritual Sun in my heart, I offer myself in service to the angels of
nature and would work with them to heal the wounds of the earth and restore balance
in all her elements.
Through
the creative power of the Sun, I picture the perfect form of the six-pointed
star, full of light and the power for good.
I am
within the Star and I see its light, with the blessing of the angels of nature,
bringing healing to all the earth… The light of the Star shines into the soil
of the earth and the plants and trees it supports… The light of the Star shines
into the atmosphere, the air which all creatures breathe and by which they are
protected… I see all the earth irradiated by the light and love of the Star
within and around it.’
