POSTED UNDER Earth, Midsummer, Summer

Cicada Magic

June 29, 2002 by Sedwin
If you were like most kids, summer childhood memories will include cicada shells. From early to midsummer these can be found on the sides of trees or barns, or on the ground. Cicada shells are symbols of transformation. In one form, cicadas emerge from underground, shed their skins, dry their wings, then fly away. Their brief lives encompass the underworld, middle Earth, and the heavens. To tap into this transformative energy, collect a few shells for use on your altar. If the cicada shell's appearance puts your adult self off, place them inside a small decorative box.
