Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.
No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

I think people here might be overthinking it. It's just counting daylight hours, the solstices are the longest/shortest days. The further from the equator you are the more obvious it is. There's around 10 hours more daylight in summer where I am so you can make a reasonable estimate of the solstices without using any timing devices, most people would notice that.
