Sun, sun the power that be
The gods of fortune shine on thee.
Bless this day to thee and thine.
Make it peaceful and divine.
Bless the creatures of the land.
Bless the Earth where on we stand.

Spirit Catcher's Story

Since the beginning of time, people from all cultures have honoured the Sun in special ways. The First Nations people held a Sun Dance on the summer solstice to honour the Four Directions and the Tree of Life. In this sacred ceremony which lasted four days, Grandfather Sun was proclaimed and honoured as the source of love and warmth for the Earth Mother.

This ancient ritual is a true test of endurance. The First Nations people consider it a strong act of love that teaches us how to walk in balance and let go of the parts of ourselves that are centered in the personal 'I'. The Sun will help us to see the shadows within our selves and let them go.

In the garden, we will learn the endurance that is needed to reach our goal. Here the heat of the Sun can do great damage if the plants have not received the balance of water and care that they need to thrive. The way of the gardener is not an easy one and comes through quiet observation.

The Chi

The energy of this Spirit Catcher connects us with the sacred well spring of all that is. It brings us the courage to make necessary changes in our garden as well as our life. It helps us go beyond the suffering of the moment into the joy of achieving our personal best.

Don’t hesitate ... do it now!
