Litha blessings gorgeous souls!
Litha is the pagan summer solstice celebration that honours the power and strength of the sun.
Celebrated at the summer solstice it’s a time to enjoy the abundance of nature and all that life has gifted us.
Litha is a time to honour our own inner light and to activate our power and purpose so that we can move forward with more courage and strength in our own lives.
Usually a very happy and joyful celebration, Litha is a perfect time for counting your blessings and manifestation of any kind.
The summer solstice is also a reminder that just as the earth has given us so much abundance through the summer, that the days will start getting shorter again and soon we will move back into the cooler days and towards winter.
So use the power of Litha to activate yourself with the light of the sun and keep it shining bright all year round!
In the southern hemisphere we celebrate Litha during our summer solstice in December.
The only way to spend summer imho.
Looking for some Litha rituals?
As always, you can celebrate Litha or any of the sabbats however you like. But here are some ideas that may be useful in helping you develop your own rituals.
Charge a crystal
Let a crystal charge in the light of the longest day. Whenever you feel like you need a boost of sun power (especially in the darker days) use, carry or wear your crystal.
Watch the sunrise
There’s nothing more powerful than watching the sun rise on the longest day! I was lucky enough to watch the sunrise on the solstice at Stonehenge one year and it was one of the highlights of my life! (And yes, I charged a crystal while I was there!)
Work with plant allies
Pick some flowers or herbs and then let them dry over the next few months. Again, use these flowers and herbs in your rituals and teas (check what you’re drinking!) during the cooler months.
Solar plexus activation
Go outside if you can, otherwise you can do this inside, maybe lighting a candle as a symbol of the fire of the sun. Place your left hand on your solar plexus and your right hand towards the sun. Visualise the sun beaming directly into your solar plexus and charging, clearing and upgrading your courage, strength, power and belief in yourself.
