Litha

Intensification

In all that you do, and all that is done,

Bringer of life and Midsummer sun,

Intensifies and gifts you strength,

To claim your power, at any length.

This magic is worked, with harm to none.

So mote it be. There, it is done.

Witches’ Wisdom

The intensification of the full sun at Litha shines upon you as you step up to the next level. This is a time of focus, development, and determination as you gain strength and reclaim your inner resolve. Dare to explore every avenue before you, and do the unexpected! A new gateway has opened and you may find that you leave others behind, as your unwavering dedication leads you away. Fear not, for the light of the sun will highlight the path of unfamiliar territory and borrow, if you will, the sun’s strength and warmth as you embrace these times of study, focus, and concentration. Diversions may tempted you along the way. You may feel blind for a while as you stumble upon the unknown, but try to remember that these are merely tests of your commitment. The sun gods shine favourably on you and remind you that the answer to prayer and the outcome of spells happen in mysterious ways. Trust the Great Mystery.

Witches’ Foresight

What you have been waiting for comes into fruition during the summer months. Shine brightly. Don’t give away your personal power. Move forward fearlessly. Call on the strength of the Sun gods to break through.

Litha Revealed

The summer solstice marks the height of the Sun’s powers on the longest day of the year. Thousands gather at Stonehenge each year to witness the rising over the Heel Stone. Midsummer was celebrated in ancient times with hilltop bonfires at night to honour the power of the sun over darkness. This is a time of abundance, fulfillment and strength.
