Audio transcript:
"Here it is my task now, to declare the intention of this
Solstice ceremony. The intention is to blend the feminine, gentle, rays of the
Moon with the over-active, masculine energies of the Sun. So that the feminine
Sun - the warmth of the heart - be made more manifest, and the psychic powers of
men in the Moon be enhanced. So the balance of Cancer, the 6 and the 9 - Yin
and Yang - may be brought about."
