@thequietorchard: 𝚂𝚘𝚕𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚎 𝙵𝚘𝚕𝚔𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎✸✪ Let us bask in the longest day and the shortest night knowing balance is restoring the earth ✨ Hello my lovelies! We’re back again with another installment of my storytelling project ‘as the paper turns’ - I’m floored by the response it’s getting, as an artist to have people really see my work makes ME feel seen as this is such an extension of my inner sanctum. I’m so glad you are all enjoying this project as much as I am enjoying bringing it to life! This week we are delving into the summer solstice, a celebration of the longest day & the shortest night of the year! This is a major pit stop in the turning of the wheel and acknowledges the halfway point of the light half of the year. The story of the holly king & the oak king, although not an ancient one, really is one of my favourites. It’s such a visual folktale and those are my favourites, I’m a sucker for wild beasts, wild folk and wild battles. Anyone else? This solstice I will be celebrating with friends here in wales at a big gathering for a few days, I can’t wait! The bell tent is packed along with my dancing boots! I’m hoping for the sun to poke its head out for a few days too! I hope you all have a wonderful solstice whatever you are up too, let’s celebrate this marker of the year & honour the idea of balance ♥️ All my love, Abi x #solstice #folklore #thequietorchard #mythology #Summer

Being an Alaskan it’s a big deal for us. We’ll have almost 24 hours of daylight in some places
