With the longest day of the year comes the most daylight.  Let us use this time to shine light on what we have been hiding from and what has been hiding from us.

Let us use the longest day of the year to shine light on what was hard to see in the past. It’s time we step into consciousness and stop living through our unconscious behaviors.

What is Litha?

Litha is the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year. Typically, the summer solstice is on or around the 21st of June, although in 2021 it is on June 20th. This day marks the beginning of summer. It is a bittersweet moment (mostly sweet), because we know that the days are at their longest, but soon the darkness will rejoin us. Litha celebrates the Sun (and any Sun gods/deities), joy, and fertility. For some, depending on your traditions and beliefs, this is when the Oak King is at his peak. Litha is another fire festival, where we celebrate life and all that comes with it
