Litha [LEE-tha]
Summer Solstice, Midsummer (June 19-23)
Litha marks the Summer Solstice — the longest day of the year. The name “Litha” is modern; solstice celebrations themselves are ancient and global.
At the Summer Solstice, the sun stands at its zenith. It is abundance, radiance, and the subtle beginning of decline. Historically, midsummer fires and solar rites appear across Europe and beyond.
This section explores solar symbolism, St. John’s Eve traditions, herb gathering lore, and the astronomical mechanics of solstice alignment. Here, celebration and inevitability share the same horizon.
