Today marks a truly sacred day: the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky, illuminating all with its lifeforce. In ancient Egypt, this moment also heralded the rising of Sirius, the star of Isis, a sign of the Nile's annual flooding, marking the time of renewal and the beginning of a new cycle.
