Since the summer solstice is upon us..I'll share an interesting thing about wicca that stuck out, to me...
As a particularly british religion (despite its export and americanization)....there is a specific drama of the seasons played out as the backdrop for divine experience. This leaves those of us who live in the lands of perpetual summer grasping for a sense of having a role on the divine stage. It;s not insurmountable, obviously, but it softens the effect of the central mythology. It;s not all that different from being a kid at christmas in s. florida.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
