🌞 Litha – The Summer Solstice

Litha marks the longest day and the peak of solar power. The sun is at its zenith, and the Earth is in full bloom. It is a celebration of life, light, passion, and manifestation. As the turning point of the Wheel, Litha reminds us to honor our growth, embody our power, and give gratitude for nature’s abundance. It’s a fire festival of joy, courage, and heart-centered magic.

🔥 Suggested Rituals & Activities:

• Sun Magic Ritual – At noon, stand under the sun and visualize its energy filling your solar plexus with vitality and clarity. Speak affirmations of strength and radiance.

• Fire Ceremony – Write down your personal power or a wish on paper. Burn it (safely!) in a fire or candle flame as an offering to the sun.

• Make Sun Water – Fill a glass jar with water and herbs like calendula, mint, or St. John’s Wort. Let it steep in the sun and use it for rituals, cleansing, or blessings.

• Herb Harvesting – Litha is a traditional time to harvest magical herbs. Dry them for spellcraft or future Sabbats.
