On the summer solstice, we celebrate Litha!
Litha is the first day of summer — the longest day of the year! On this day, the life-giving sun is strongest over the powers of darkness. Litha is a time for light magic, honoring:
LOVE :: LUCK :: ABUNDANCE :: ENERGY.
By the time the summer solstice comes, all the seeds have been planted. The stage is set. Summer is here! Litha celebrates the precious moment of pause, between those early tender spring crops, and the coming bounty of the summer harvest. Look for butterflies, bees, and birds. Honor your pets.
Litha is blooming and bounty.
Litha is feast and fulfillment.
Litha is health and healing.
Litha is light, love, and luck!
Often, pagans decorate their Litha altars with flowers, fruit, and images or objects related to the sun. Traditional celebrations include lighting bonfires on hilltops and then rolling burning wheels down the hillsides, to represent sun. Maybe not practical in modern times, but fun to imagine nevertheless!
For a more manageable celebration, you could try:
♥ Make “solar water” by leaving a jug of water out in the sunlight, all day. ♥
♥ Make sun tea. ♥
♥ “Solarize” your crystals by giving them a bath in the sunlight. ♥
♥ Do yoga or take a walk at sunrise or sunset. ♥
♥ Make sun catchers. ♥
♥ Honor the bees by putting out dishes of water, or buying some bee-friendly plants/flowers for your yard. ♥
♥ Eat berries. Make jam! ♥
♥ Make a flower mandala. ♥
♥ Read or watch A Midsummer’s Night Dream. ♥
Last year on Litha, me and all my witchy women were so very busy with our kids and careers and very, very grown-up things. Such is the way of life, sometimes. We weren’t able to make a whole party of it, but we did meet on the beach at dusk. I brought sunflowers and golden pilar candles. We sacrificed an entire bottle of wine to cast a circle, then we called the corners and thanked the light.
Then, we lit our candles and made wishes as we leapt over them.
However you celebrate Litha (or not!), I hope that you’ll get some extra time outside in the coming days. I hope you’ll stop to stand still in the sunlight, to *pause* your very, very grown up things, if only for a moment.
Soak it up.
