June Solstice Blessings and Update

by | Dec 5, 2023

I just wanted to say a quick hello and extend my solstice blessings to you, Wonder Weavers.

I’m still working away at the dollhouse and hope to reveal the makeover of its exterior walls next week.

In my latest vlog, I recite an Inkan prayer. Cristóbal Molina, el Cusqueño wrote down this prayer and included his account of Inkan rites and mythology in the 17th century. His account was later translated into English by C.R. Markham. You can watch my vlog on clicking on the video link below.

How do you celebrate the June Solstice, Wonder Weavers? I’d love you to share with me below.
