What does love Mean?
Themis makes a commitment to respect life and dignity, individuality and
diversity, so that in all of our doings, every person is treated humanely,
without exception. We must have patience and acceptance. We must be able to
forgive, learning from the past but never allowing ourselves to be enslaved
by memories of hate. Opening our hearts to one another, we the mebers of
Themis must sink our narrow differences for the cause of our larger
community, practicing a culture of solidarity and relatedness.
We of Themis consider humankind a family. We each strive to be kind and
generous. We must not live for ourselves alone, but should also serve
others, never forgetting the children, the aged, the poor, the suffering,
the disabled, the refugees and the lonely. No person should ever be
considered or treated as a second-class citizen, or be exploited in any way
whatsoever. There should be equal partnership between men and women.
We must
not commit any kind of sexual immorality. We must discourage all forms of
domination or abuse.
We of Themis commit ourselves to a culture of non-violence, respect,
justice, and peace. We of Themis in our music, performances, lyrics or
promotions shall not oppress, injure, torture, or kill other human beings,
and will encourage forsaking violence as a means of settling differences.
We of Themis will strive for a just social and economic order, in which
everyone has an equal chance to reach full potential as a human being.
Themis band wil endeavour to speak and act truthfully and with compassion,
dealing fairly with all, and avoiding prejudice and hatred. We and our music
must move beyond the dominance of greed for power, prestige, money, and
consumption to make a just and peaceful world.
We of Themis band believe Earth cannot be changed for the better unless the
consciousness of individuals is changed first. Knowing that music and
various music cultures have great influence, particularly over the young, we
pledge to increase our awareness by disciplining our minds, through
education and by positive thinking.
We of Themis commit ourselves to encouraging socially beneficial,
peace-fostering, and nature-friendly ways of life.
Summer Solstice
Litha is the celebration Summer Solstice. The Solstice is the time when
the sun is at the height of its power. It is the longest day of the
year, midsummer. This is the time when the gardens are producing fruits
and vegetables of summer. Wildlife is flourishing and the trees are
covered in green leaves. On this day we celebrate the God at his highest
point. He is strong and vibrant. Together with the Goddess who is in her
Mother aspect, he rules the summer. However, it is also a time of
transition. After Midsummer, the sun begins its yearly descent. The days
will get shorter and shorter until the Winter Solstice when it begins
its rise to power again.
There are two basic myths that accompany the Summer Solstice. The first
is the mythology that follows the wheel of the year and the agricultural
cycle of the lands. In this myth we see the Sun King who was born at
Winter Solstice, now grown to power. He rules the summer, but in the
fall will give himself to the land in an endless cycle of birth, death
and rebirth. The Goddess, Queen of Summer, is in her Mother aspect, with
child. The child, who is also the God, and will be reborn on Winter
Solstice.
