"In northern European lore, the summer solstice marks the battle between the Oak King and Holly King, figures representing the waxing and waning forces of Nature. On the day of the Summer Solstice, a great battle occurs, the Holly king defeats his brother, the Oak King. Even though this is the longest day of the year, the days begin to grow shorter from this time forward... Humanity looks wistfully toward warmth, sunlight, fertility and the ripening of crops. The Summer Soltice celebrates the verdant Earth in high summer, abundance, fertility, and all the riches of Nature in full bloom."
