The summer solstice is the longest day of the year, occurring around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. It marks the point when the North Pole is tilted closest to the sun, resulting in the maximum amount of daylight hours
In pagan traditions, the summer solstice holds significant symbolism and meaning. It is often celebrated as Litha, one of the eight Sabbats in the Wheel of the Year.
A Celebration of the Sun: The summer solstice represents the peak of the sun’s power and energy. Seen as a time to honor and celebrate the sun as a symbol of life, growth, and vitality.
Balance of Light and Dark: On the summer solstice, there is a balance between light and dark, as it is the longest day and shortest night of the year. This balance is celebrated as a harmonious union of opposites, reflecting the cycles of nature.
Fertility and Abundance: The summer solstice is associated with fertility and abundance in the natural world. Rituals or ceremonies were performed to honor the Earth’s bounty and to encourage prosperity and growth in their lives.
