Roll, Mabon Roll
Roll Mabon Roll, Your burning wheel into the sky
And the grievances between us are but shadows
As in the Solstice light I take your hand!
The Celtic Sun God "Mabon" symbolises the Sacred King archetype, which appears over and over again in human spirituality. "Mabon" is a Welsh name deriving from Romano-British god Maponos whose name means "divine son" or "great son" - Son of the "Great Mother", another important ancient archetype.
 
The "Flying Bird" Solstice Circle Dance

Summer Solstice is the time of long hours of sun - up to 18 hours - which relaxes us and gives us plenty of time to get through the days tasks and still have time to spare - time to lie on our back and watch the clouds drift by, or watch the birds soaring high on the thermals of summer haze! The gentle sweeping melody of this dance captures that feeling of drifting aloft and the graceful lyrics compare that feeling to the experience of being "at one" with the divine.

The original lyrics were written in honour of the famous 19th-century Indian mystic, Ramakrishna, by one of his disciples. Ramakrishna was born into a poor family in rural Bengal but rose to become a priest of the Dakshineswar Kali Temple, dedicated to the goddess Kali. He attained samadhi [non-dualistic state of consciousness ] under the meditational guidance of an ascetic but also studied Islam and Christianity and said that they all lead to the same God!

[Dance Originator: James Nasrudin Burgess]

 


*Cleansing Guilt & Regrets : "All Shall Be Well!"

All shall be well! All manner of things shall be well!
When the Tongues of Flame are enfolded
Into the Crown knot of fire
And the Fire and the Rose are One!


Spiritual Inspiration: song + dance, developed by Karim Hadden
Based on the poem "Little Gidding" by T.S. Eliot [derived from the 14th Century vision of St. Julian of Norwich]
combined with the calls for merciful healing used by the people healed by Yeshua (Jesus) as reported in the Gospels.

 

Om Ram Ramaya Swaha - Solar Plexus Chakra - Hindu Healing Mantra

Om Ram Ramaya Swaha Meaning: "Know what to do and how to carry it out!" or "I am That" in the sense of "I am an aspect of God".
"Ram... is the seed sound for the manipura, or solar plexus chakra where tremendous healing energy often lies dormant. This mantra is used to awaken and activate the entire chakra and balance the energy currents that run down the left and right sides of the body. It prepares the chakra to be able to handle the inflow of kundalini energy that gives the chakra its power. Ra is associated with the solar current that runs down the right side of our bodies. Ma is associated with the lunar current that runs down the left side of our bodies. By repeating Rama...Rama...Rama over and over again, there is an opportunity to balance the two currents and their activity.


[Dance by Bernie Heideman]

A Celtic Parting Blessing - "May the Road Rise with You!"


"Blessed Be!"
This ancient Celtic Blessing draws on the 4 Elements of Earth, Air, Water & Fire
and embodies the 3 key aspects of a Parting Blessing...

Sadness (that our time together is over)
Well-wishing (for each other's future)
Appreciation (for who you are, and for being part of my life's journey!).
 We incorporate this old saying into a beautiful Blessing Ritual circle.
