LITHA - SUMMER SOLSTICE
The Wheel of the Year continues to spin with the arrival of our next Sabbat, Litha, also known as Midsummer, or Summer Solstice. Litha celebrates the high point of the Sun's journey through the year. For folks in the Northern Hemisphere, we see this in long days filled with heat and light, and short nights, filled with heat and stars. And importantly for Witches and Pagans, the death of the Oak King, and the rise to power of the Holly King.
Currently falling somewhere between June 18th and June 22nd each year, this Quarter Day marks the official end of Spring and start of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere. What is it to work through the energy of Gemini, The Divine Twins and Cancer, the Universal Womb? We’ll come into alignment with these archetypes by studying the astronomy and the astrology of the times. And we will welcome the Sun into our lives by embracing our ability to radiate our personal power.
Immerse yourself in the ancient global folklore, symbols, and rituals of this Solar festival acknowledging the high point of the Sun’s Arc across the sky and discover how you can evoke this power in your own life and world.
But the work doesn't stop after one night! In this six week guide, we will look at the major Witch's Work for the season: Power, Transformation, Healing and Commitment and what that means for Pagans and their communities. We can utilize rituals, spellcrafting, meditations and journaling to ground ourselves in this work.
Grab a friend, a journal or some art supplies, maybe make a pot of tea and a snack, and settle in. I also encourage folks to create sacred space for themselves by lighting a candle and/or some incense. You might also want close at hand magical tools like Tarot and your natal chart.
