Indeed, but let's pray that no-one is harmed during the solstice period.

Quote:

Julius Caesar wrote of the Druids in Celtic lands such as Gaul conducting human sacrifice in which men were burned inside huge wicker cages made in human form. In medieval times it was common to hold similar animal sacrifices at Midsummer. In England, as late as the eighteenth century, there were also "giants" made of wicker that were paraded in the streets with torches at Midsummer, possibly a remnant of the original sacrifice.

It is not clear what gods were supposed to be the recipients of the sacrifice. The Celtic thunder god Taranis has been suggested. In Finland, the Midsummer festival was originally named for Ukko, also a thunder god. But on the Isle of Man, offerings are still made at Midsummer to the island's patron god Manannán mac Lir, a sea god.

I'm in Australia, so I'll try and have a good one. May the God and Goddess be with you, regardless of how you envision them. May the Sun and the Moon watch over you all!

i_am, who is the God and Goddess to you? For me it's Pan and Isis. In my studies, they stood out the most to me, and so I chose them.
