A MIDSUMMER RITE

*(Edited to note: I wrote this ritual when I was a Celtic Reconstructionist and scheduled it for this later date. For info on how to convert this ritual to an ADF format, see the “little rituals” article highlighted above.)
Circumambulation (Circle ritual area three times.)
Purpose

and honor the Kindred at the time of Midsummer.”

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.”

Reviews for "Caring Beyond the Television Screen: How Care Bears Make Real-Life Magic"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to watch "Care Bears Reveal the Magic" because I used to love the original series as a kid. However, I was really disappointed with this new version. The storyline seemed rushed and shallow, and the characters lacked depth. The animation also felt outdated and wasn't as visually appealing as I had hoped. Overall, it just didn't live up to my expectations and failed to capture the magic of the original Care Bears.
2. John - 1 star - I could barely sit through "Care Bears Reveal the Magic". The plot was incredibly predictable and lacked any originality. The dialogue was cheesy and cringe-worthy, even for a children's show. The animation quality was poor, with characters appearing stiff and lacking expression. It's a shame because the Care Bears used to be such a beloved franchise, but this reboot fell short in every way.
3. Lisa - 2 stars - As a parent, I was hoping to enjoy "Care Bears Reveal the Magic" with my children, but unfortunately, it was a letdown. The show felt preachy and overly moralistic, pushing life lessons in a way that felt forced and unnatural. The voice acting was also subpar, lacking emotion and variety. My kids didn't seem to connect with the characters or the story, and I found myself longing for the original Care Bears that had so much charm and heart.
4. Mark - 1 star - I couldn't get past the first episode of "Care Bears Reveal the Magic". The animation was dull and uninspired, reminiscent of a low-budget direct-to-video release. The plot was overly simplistic, and the characters felt one-dimensional, lacking any real depth or complexity. It's a shame to see such an iconic franchise reduced to this lackluster reboot. I would not recommend wasting your time with this one.
