June 21st: Midsummer, Litha, or Summer Solstice

The summer solstice invites us to celebrate the abundance of earth and sun. It is time to express gratitude for the life-giving food of the sun and for all that it manifests. This is the moment to honor the light, the sun, and the beginning of a new cycle.

The Summer Solstice, also known as Litha, is the longest day of the year, when the Sun is at its zenith. This is the peak of sunshine, when the power of the sun starts to wane, and the days become shorter. It's a time of great celebration before we meet the work ahead as the harvest comes in.
