Many midsummer revelers choose to create a sacred space in which they will celebrate the day. Like most landmarks that commemorate the solstice, your sacred space should align with the sun\u2019s ascent and descent on June 21. There should be an avenue for the sunlight to travel down into the heart of your celebration location, where you will welcome its arrival. <\/p>\n
You may also want to prepare a salutation for the sun on this auspicious day. As previously noted, different cultures acknowledge the sun\u2019s arrival in a variety of ways: dances, chants, sacrifices, and more. You should use whatever creative talent you have to develop a greeting for the sun during the morning of solstice. You can even research traditional mantras that suit your cultural leanings; for example, the Guyatri Mantra is often called the mantra of the sun, and thus it is fitting for the summer solstice:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nOm bhur bhuvah svah
\ntat savitur varenyam
\nbhargo devasya dhimahi
\ndhiyo yonah prachodayat.<\/div>\n
Om Sai Ram<\/div>\n
