In the June issue of the Flaming Rose Journal, as the Earth moves towards the Summer Solstice, we reflect upon the ancient correspondence between the rising Circle of Sunlight and the Sacred Source of Life. We remember where we came from and anticipate where we are going following the movement following the Circle of the Sun on the Sacred Journey Home |

Solstice Sun What a catastrophe, what a maiming of Life when it was made a personal, merely personal feeling, taken away from the rising and setting of the Sun, and cut off from the magic connection of the Solstice and Equinox! This is what is the matter with us, we are bleeding at the roots, because we are cut off from the Earth and Sun and Stars, and love is a grinning mockery, because poor blossom we plucked its stem on the Tree of Life and expected it to keep on blooming in our civilized vase on the table. D.H.Lawrence | ||||
This month we have thirteen songs from the album, On the Sacred Journey Home, by Joe Kirkwood. |

On the Sacred Journey Home may the Sun guide youupon the Sacred Path may it shine upon the future and illuminate the past as you travel into the unknown on the Sacred Journey Home may the River show you how you need to go may you overcome every obstacle just like the water erodes solid stone as you travel into the unknown on the Sacred Journey Home may the Wind release you from your suffering and grief may you fly in joyous freedom upon an eagle's wings as you travel into the unknown on the Sacred Journey Home may the Earth sustain you through the passage of time may you be nourished and strengthened by the Spirit of Life as you travel into the unknown on the Sacred Journey Home may Love inspire you to make the whole world a Sacred Place may your heart be open to others and share the knowlege of the Sacred Way as you travel into the unknown on the Sacred Journey Home on the Sacred Journey Home on the Sacred Journey Home on the Scared Journey Home ~ |
