Summer Solstice

The Lyceum of Alexandria will celebrate Summer Solstice on June 20, 6 pm, at Life Force Arts Center, 3148 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago.

Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, represents the coming together of Water and Fire as the Sun goes into the Water sign of Cancer, which is ruled by the Moon.

The month of June was named for the Goddess Juno, goddess of marriage. Thus we celebrate the Sacred Union of Goddess and God, Moon and Sun. Water and Fire...the alchemical wedding.

The liturgy for this celebration is The Mystical Awakening of Gemini which honors Artemis and Apollo, deities of Moon and Sun. You are encouraged to download a copy for your own use to bring to the ceremony. If you are unable to attend in person, you may join us in spirit by attunement.

The true alchemical marriage is that which takes place within, and unifies the various aspects of ourselves represented by Moon and Sun, Water and Fire, Inner and Outer. The Mystical Awakening of Gemini will lead us to that wisdom.

For details and to RSVP 773-304-7230 or DeeAnkh@sbcglobal.net.

Feasting and fellowship will follow the ceremony.

Please bring a pot luck food or beverage item. $10 suggested donation. No one turned away for lack of funds.
