Well it's finally here - the Solstice! But no sunshine this morning for me to greet, just misty mountains and a smattering of rain washing the world clean.

And I am off to the Witchfest, which is all very exciting... I hope I have everything ready for it, and that people enjoy my talk which is on Psychic Self Defence. If anyone does turn up, my talk is in CF10 in the Sutdent's Union Building, and it's at 1.45pm. I'm doing a booksigning upstairs after that at 2.30.

And after that I've been asked to take the closing blessing ceremony. Being a solitary you can imagine this is a bit scary for me, but I'm looking forward to it and I'll tell you all how it went afterwards.

But before I go, here is a translation of a lovely solstice blessing that Mr Penry wrote for me: (the original is in Welsh)

Blessings of the earth to you all,
Blessings of heaven,
Blessings of the stars,
Blessings of the moon,
And last, but not least, Blessings of the sun.

Have a wonderful day, I'll catch up with you later!
