Summer Solstice
June 21, 2022Today June 21, 2022, is the summer solstice (Litha) in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the longest day and shortest night.
During this time, we are called to connect with the energies of the sun, heat, light and fire.
Our passions spark and our energies are activated by the power of the sun.
This is a time of abundance and major transformation. Let go of what no longer serves you and embrace all changes that come from this transformative time.
It is a time of celebrating life, to its fullest.
Witch-tips:
- Create a Talisman of protection using Rue, Rowan, Rosemary or Vervain.
- Create a Protection/Cleaning charm bag out of white cloth by adding some salt, Star of Anise, St. Johns wort and Hyssop. This can be left in your doorway or on your altar.
- Give offerings of wine, cakes, fresh flowers or honey.
- Harvest herbs, plants and flowers for magickal uses later in the year.
- Set an altar with fresh flowers, red orange or yellow candles, cinnamon sticks, the sun card from a tarot deck and some cakes. Offer this altar as thanks for the nature spirits who have aided you in your magickal journey.
- Be in the sun today and absorb its healing and creative energy.
