Love and the Solstice

June 21st (summer solstice) has historically been a most popular midsummer's day when marriage vows are taken!

Honey, water and yeast create a deeply traditional fermented alcholic beverage called MEAD.

In European cultures, it was common to supply a newly married couple with enough mead to last for a month - as a wedding gift for prosperity and fertility. . . hence the term, HONEYMOON. 

Sweet Toast to all Lovers & Partners Today!!!

MsC, I never knew that before. Sweeeeet. I wonder if I gave him enough mead FIRST, if I could get that proposal outta him too?

If so then we could say "Mead, it's an all purpose beverage of love!"

For once, your Simmer solstice doesn't relate to anything that I desire.  
Good luck, however, to those people in love and who are  seeking to
have a male propose.  Even when my ex did it  I do't think it was
enjoyable to all that,  It was a hohum thing.  The focus is on those things that are of more relevance to one's life.

Brotherly love is good.  Romantic love is temporary.  Men fall in and out of love  as the situatiion suits their fancy.  This angel needs to do more than bring mead, unless the mead is a longevity drink that extends the lifespan beyond 76 years.

Summer Solstice is a powerful time for lovers, AND for those who wish to enjoy a life of brotherly love.

As long as you are content with yourself and have found a venue to bring yourself and others joy, healing, laughter, inspiration, safety (insert your own personal gift and/or desire in life here) Mead, Summer Solstice, Love . . . this is yours as a divine birth - right my friend!

Light to U!

I like this thread..a venue to bring joy, healing, laughter, safety, freedom from fear and hatred, and good memory without the computer or a fickler...lol.  So much sadness and trouble in the world...where to begin..not today some say, but on the Sabbath when we feel most holy?  
We must try to understand oneanother and each other's most pressing needs.health,..having a confidante, having someone who cares just because we are children of th e earth.  Perhaps, just because we have no
parents to cry for us..or hurt sufficiently to make a change when we face our darkness--Thykingdom come on earth...

What do I think you ask?  

I think life is to short to get stressed about unecessary things, love when and how you can... Mead or no Mead, lover or no, Meb, babe... lighten up a bit...enjoy the day, it won't come again.

Yawn.  SO you recommend a ball and chain.  Tch, tch.  The folly of you
teenagers.  Realistically, summer is a fun time and a time when people want to laze around in a nice, airconditioned spa or somewhere like that.   How many attendants should we have to be comfortable?  One masseuse, one pedicurist, one manicurist, etc. to take care of our
comfort..Numbers? A trainer, a skin specialist...well, do we need a wife or husband for that?  how many? When and where?  Health spa vacations are said to be really great--doing all of the healthy things that envigorates...Which one of you people is getting married?  Do you consider inviting strangers to your weddings?  If so, send an open invitation.  tomorrow, I shall be reading the invitation here.
