Summer Solstice or Litha is the longest day of the
year. It is celebrated around June 21st. The powers of nature reach their
highest point making it a perfect time for magick of all kinds. On this night
elves and fairies come out in great numbers. This is the perfect time to commune
with garden and forest sprites and fairies. Herbs gathered on this day are very
powerful. In some traditions, this is the time of the Sun God. In other
traditions, it is the time the Oak King overcomes the Holly King. Decorate your
altar and burn candles of bright yellow and red.
