Summer Solstice Rituals and Scratching the Poison Ivy Itch

Summer Solstice Rituals and Scratching the Poison Ivy Itch

For many, the summer solstice is about celebrating the sun and everything that it so graciously beams upon us: fully ripe strawberries, darkening freckles, St. John's wort oil (which is best to make right around the summer solstice when the plant is in bud and at its peak).
