Solstice

Stonehenge is closed this solstice. Pagans,druids, and tourists can watch onlineor create their own backyard haven

of ancient megalithic stones, or findsolace in gobbling up strawberriesor building a Classic Lego shrine.

The day will be long. No need to worryabout time or whether or not the sunin your natal chart is in Aries.

Priests will baptize babies with squirt guns,amen, while at-risk oldsters line upto be shot with Holy Oil and sent "home". Fun

fact: more people are using their Krupssingle-serve coffee makers these days.Plus fish are used as spies now—guppies,

grouper, jellyfish—to keep our seas safefrom Russia, Iran, China, Iraq,or whoever we fear most. Gamma rays

are invisible yet still wreak havocon the human body. This summer solsticecheck your noontime shadow as you walk,

see how tiny you are as you cross thiscrazy earth, how everything's so stark ravingbright you can hardly believe you exist.
