MidSummer
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Summer Solstice marks the beginning of summer and occurs when the North Pole is tilted toward the Sun. At Summer Solstice or Midsummer, the sun is at its peak. The days are at their longest. Midsummer is the midpoint of the growing season, halfway between planting and harvest.
Clear the Beltane decorations. Drape the altar in a clean black or gold cloth. Dust candles, as well as the elemental tools and return them to their proper position. Add summer fruit and flowers. Burn vervain incense to bring visions of love, or lavender to learn secrets of love, St. John's Wort, to send away negative vibrations.

For information who will love you for who you are and not what you can supply pluck a rose blossom and lay beneath your pillow on Midsummer's eve. In bed take a deep breath in, then exhale and allow your body to relax. Say: Spirit Guide please, give me the eyes to see so my heart will know who will love me, for me. The scent of the rose blossom will attract a faint misty image in dream time of the person who will be attracted to you for who you are. The image will grace your presence and stay until you wake. This will allow you to recognize who they are when you meet in your waking life.
When you first begin to wake, don't move. Focus on recalling the dream. Write down as much detail as possible.
