    What It Is

    The Sun stands still at its northernmost point. The Oak King yields to the Holly King. All is at zenith — and from tomorrow, the days begin to shorten.

    How to Observe It

    Watch the sunrise or sunset. Gather herbs at solar noon — they are at peak potency. Give thanks for what is fully alive in you right now.
