Solastra-Circulus Solis
The last time I saw a solar eclipse I was seven I think. It wasn’t a full but it was enough to mesmerize my young soul. Thirty something years later I got to see another, altho still not a full. In 2024 New England will get the opportunity to see a full solar eclipse. You can bet I’m traveling to Vermont for that one. Even viewing a partial one can imagine why older civilizations believed in magical gods in the sky. Day turns to night for two odd minutes and then light returns. I love science but for some events it strips the magic away. We know why eclipses happen but our ancestors didn’t. They thought it was the sun god, some thought it was a bad omen, some thought the world was ending. These types of celestial events held great mysticism and still do for us today. If you follow a paganism path you know of the importance of sun and moon. They each have there due seasonal times throughout the year. Rarely, do they dance, but once every seventy years or so they collide and the darkness invades day and a beautiful serenade begins. Our eyes turn upward and we are transformed into star struck beings contemplating our place in the world. We are forever looking upward, trapped on this rock hurling through our solar system, always a satellite to our father sun. It reminds us we are but a speck of stardust in our evolution and all this beauty will be here long after we are gone.
The great thing about science is it allows us to plan and weather permitting an idea is born. For three years Solastra has been sitting in a notebook just waiting to breathe.
Kate is a wedding photographer who spends her life making everyone’s important day a beautiful memory. She is gifted in the art of capturing love. Like most photographers being constantly behind the lens never gives her the opportunity to shine in front of it. Working with fellow shuddabugs is one of my most favorite types of shoots altho sometimes getting them to relax is challenging. It’s tough when you are used to being in control of a artistic scene and letting that go and allowing another take the reign. You are faced with all the insecurities that would never come into play had you not been a photographer. The anxiety and apprehension are real and you really need to trust the one shooting you. I would never downplay the honor of having her choose me. She shined like the sun!
