The summer solstice, also known as midsummer, is an astronomical event that marks the longest day and shortest night of the year. It occurs when the tilt of the Earth's axis is most inclined towards the Sun, resulting in the Sun reaching its highest position in the sky. The word solstice comes from the Latin words "sol" meaning "Sun" and "sistere" meaning "to stand still". This is because during the solstice, the Sun appears to stand still in its movement across the sky before it starts its reverse journey. For ancient civilizations, the summer solstice held great significance as it marked the transition between the seasons and the start of the summer period. Various cultures around the world have celebrated the summer solstice for centuries.

Woman believes that masturbation is a form of witchcraft and a 'curse' which will affect children's futures
Masturbation is a perfectly normal part of a lot of people's sex lives, and how much or how little a person does it is very much their business.
However, one woman has decided to go on a crusade against self-pleasure, claiming that it is witchcraft and a 'curse' that will have a detrimental effect on children's futures.
Taking to TikTok to share her, admittedly, unusual view of masturbation, the woman described the whole thing as a 'demonic attack'.
Advert"You need to look at the root of what is going on here," the woman began. "It is not God who is leading you to masturbate, it is the enemy.
"The enemy knows how to stifle and stop intimacy, and when I say intimacy, I mean the connection that we have as daughters and sons to God.
"That we have to be his children. That we have to talk to him. That we have so we can be transformed to look more like Jesus."
The woman went on to explain that the Devil has limited power, but 'what he can do is ruin you, by you ruining yourself.'
Advert"Masturbation is a self sin," she said before explaining that it is a demonic attack, but people don't realise that it is a demonic attack as it is happening because they are feeling pleasure.
"You are controlling an orgasm," she went on. "You are controlling your own pleasure. That is witchcraft. That is a curse that you begin to place over your own life that will literally lead into your future children's lives.

"This is a generational curse that you started."
AdvertThe woman then went on to explain how you could cancel it 'in the name of Jesus Christ', but that part of the video really does need to be seen to be believed.
Think The Exorcist, but about masturbation.
As you can imagine, the video received quite the response on social media, so much so that it's original poster, @thatjesusgeneration, has now completely cleared her TikTok account.
However, countless stitches and reposts of the video remain, including one that claims it is providing 'dangerous misinformation and guilt to young people.'
AdvertThe video also made its way onto Reddit, where it was posted in the TikTokCringe subreddit.
People there were quick to make their upset known too, with one turning the content of the video on its poster, writing: "I think she's a curse."
"So if you get masturbated by another persons hand is it still witchcraft [sic]?" questioned a second, while a third joked: "guess I'm a witch of unexhaustable potential then [sic]."
It involves bonfires, feasting, and dancing to commemorate the power of the Sun. Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument in England, is known for its alignment with the summer solstice. Every year, thousands of people gather at Stonehenge to witness the sunrise on the solstice day. The stones are positioned in such a way that the central Heel Stone aligns with the rising Sun, casting a shadow along the avenue leading to the monument. In addition to the cultural and spiritual significance, the summer solstice has practical implications as well. The long daylight hours provide ample time for outdoor activities and agricultural pursuits. Farmers use this time to harvest crops and prepare for the growing season. Many people take advantage of the extended daylight to partake in outdoor sports, picnics, and other recreational activities. Although traditionally associated with warmth and sunny weather, the actual weather on the summer solstice varies depending on geographical location. In some parts of the world, particularly near the poles, the summer solstice can be a time of continuous daylight, known as the midnight sun. Overall, the summer solstice is a time of celebration, reflection, and connection with nature. It symbolizes the abundance of life and the power of the Sun. Whether through ancient rituals or modern-day festivities, people come together to honor this celestial event and embrace the joy of summer..
