The Turning of the Tide at Midsummer


Midsummer marks the time when the Air Tide turns and begins to ebb. The Air Tide began to flow at Beltane. The past season has been one of change; things have been in transition, and there has been an element of chance in everything, as some seedlings took root and others were stillborn.

With the turning of the Air Tide, the season of ripening begins. Now we know which of the seeds of time have taken root and will grow. It is a time for dedication, patience and awareness. The work of the coming season will be watering and weeding, watching and protecting that which has taken root.
