Since prehistory, the summer solstice has been seen as a significant time of year in many cultures, and has been marked by festivals and rituals. This is the time of maximum light and in the Druid tradition is know as Alban Hefin – ‘The Light of Summer’ or ‘The Light of the Shore’. The spiral of the year has expanded to its widest point and now the hours of light are as long as they will ever be.
