LITHA ~ midsummer

Litha: Summer Solstice - 21st/22nd June Midsummer is one of the four solar holidays and is considered the turning point at which summer reaches its height and the sun shines longest. “Litha” is the name given to the Wiccan Sabbat celebrated at the Summer Solstice. This is the longest day and shortest night of the year, marking the pinnacle of the Sun’s power to fuel the growing season. From here on out, the Sun will set a little earlier each night until Yule, and so we recognize and give thanks for its warmth.
