A MIDSUMMER RITE

Circumambulation (Circle ritual area three times.)
Purpose
“I am here to keep the old ways
and honor the Kindred at the time of Midsummer.”
Three Realms Blessing
“As it was, as it is, as it evermore shall be —
I stand at the Center of Earth, Sky and Sea.”

Hail to the Spirits
“Hail, Earth Mother, whole and holy, honor unto thee!”

Greeting to the Summer Solstice
(from the Celtic Devotional by Caitlin Matthews- page 71)
Walk or dance around fire, singing, praying. Leap over the fire for luck.
Lift the herb and flower circlet from your head and hold up to the sun while reciting the following:
Prayer to the Sun
“The sun is high above all- shining down upon the land and sea,
making things grow and bloom.
Great and powerful sun, I honor you this day
and thank you for your gifts.
Aine, Belenus, goddesses and gods of light and life,
you are known by many names.
You are the light over the crops,
the heat that warms the earth,
the hope that springs eternal, the bringer of life.
I welcome you, and honor you this day, celebrating your light,
as we begin our journey once more into the darkness.”
Burn herb circlet as offering to the sun. Watch it burn completely before ending ritual.
Parting Blessing
“I offer my thanks to the Mother of All.
I offer my thanks to the Deities, Ancestors and Fair-Folk.
May the Three Sacred Kins bring joy to all beings,
and renew the ancient wisdom.
As it was, as it is, as it evermore shall be.”
The Great Rite
High Priest: “Life is more than a gift, it is a promise. All that dies shall be reborn.”

Review: "Magical orbs within reach" was a major disappointment for me. I had high hopes for this book, as I am a fan of fantasy novels, but it just fell flat. The plot was predictable and unoriginal, and the characters lacked depth. I couldn't connect with any of them, and their actions seemed contrived. The writing style felt amateurish, with clunky prose and awkward dialogue. Overall, I found this book to be a waste of time and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a captivating fantasy read.
2. Name: John
Rating: 2/5
Review: I had mixed feelings about "Magical orbs within reach." While the concept of the magical orbs was intriguing, the execution left much to be desired. The pacing was slow, and the story lacked tension and excitement. The world-building was also lacking, with limited description and little explanation of the magic system. The characters were forgettable and their motivations were unclear. Additionally, the writing felt disjointed at times, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. Overall, I found this book to be average at best and would not recommend it to dedicated fantasy readers.

Rating: 2.5/5
Review: "Magical orbs within reach" had potential, but it failed to deliver on its promises. The story started off strong, with an interesting premise, but it quickly became repetitive and predictable. The dialogue felt forced and lacked natural flow, making it difficult to engage with the characters. There were also several plot holes and inconsistencies that left me feeling frustrated. The author's writing style was decent, but it wasn't enough to save the overall lackluster experience. While I didn't hate this book, I certainly wouldn't recommend it to others unless they're desperate for a quick, forgettable read.
