I was very fortunate to visit Stonehenge as a very young child, although it was not at the time of the summer solstice it was a magical mystical experience. At that time you could touch and climb on the stones but now they are protected because of erosion issues
Dawn at Stonehenge, where white robed figures take center stage,
this ancient ceremony has been performed there since the Ice Age.
Summer Solstice or Alban Hefin means ‘the light of the shore’
Druids celebrate this rite of ‘the cycle of life’ since days of yore.
Our sun’s strength is declining as we approach the waning year.
the solar god is crowned, ‘arise o sun’ is the chant onlookers hear.
Summer solstice is a time to celebrate renewal, fertility and life,
and many give thanks for the souls of the departed in the afterlife
