Litha, also known as Midsummer or Summer Solstice (between June 20th and June 23rd each year) marks the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere (for those in the southern hemisphere, it’s your Winter Solstice), it also marks an important transition point in Earth’s seasonal cycle. It’s a time when fertile energy is at its peak, and all around us, new life is rapidly growing.
It's also the first day of Cancer Season. Hello Summer!
The festival of Litha is a way of honoring the fertile energy of nature and celebrating the beauty and magic of our natural world. Litha is also called Sun Moon Summer Solstice, which means that the day of the full moon is at its longest length while the days grow shorter.
On the Wheel of the Year, this marks the time when the seeds have been sown and begin to grow in abundance The important theme of Litha is being grateful for the abundance in your life.
From Litha, the days become gradually shorter until Yule when the days begin to grow steadily longer again.
Litha is typically a bright and exciting celebration. It celebrates the growing crops, the Sun, abundance, and the first day of Summer!
I encourage you to celebrate the Summer Solstice as a way of honoring nature’s incredible fertile energy at this time of year, and as a way to connect with our natural world on a deeper, more meaningful level. I truly believe that by recognizing and celebrating the little shifts in Earth’s natural rhythms, we can become more attuned to nature and feel more grounded in our everyday lives.
