Summer Solstice Brings Magic To The Mountain
Author: Carrie May Source: Casper Star-Tribune (WY)
Title: SUMMER SOLSTICE BRINGS MAGIC TO THE MOUNTAIN
  As the sun traveled across the sky making way for a full moon above Casper Mountain, the Moon Witch of Crimson Dawn flitted from shrine to shrine, always a little ahead of the droves of visitors to the festival.
"How come I've never seen the Moon Witch before?" nine-year-old Ashley Bradnstetter asked the Moon Witch, who was robed in flowing white, purple and blue silk adorned with strands of shining pearls.
The annual celebration of the summer solstice called Crimson Dawn began in 1929 on Casper Mountain with the storytelling of Casper Mountain resident Neal Forslund. Forslund spun tales of mischievous but harmless witches who lived on the mountain to entertain her daughters and the few brave residents of Casper Mountain at that time.

I was born and raised in northeastern Wyoming, and even lived in Casper as a child, but have yet to make it to the mountain for Solstice.
Those that participate year after year are creating a wonderful source of positive energy! (Even though most probably don't believe in "such things as witches"!)
When I go, I think I shall wear purple, and maybe a red pointy hat........................
Bright Blessings!
