Officially at midnight tonight, Litha and the Summer Solstice begins in earnest!

Whether you're spending today balancing fire and water, recounting the beautiful lives of Danu and His consort, or blessing cows with handfulls of herbs from a bonfire, I hope everyone enjoys the solstice!

Cast your love magic and throw kids in rivers! Meditate on the Turning of the Wheel! Drink and frolic like the Romans did (naked of course!)!


I could give people all the "official" celebration traditions, but I want to know-

How do YOU celebrate the solstice?

FEAST!!!

I laugh at all of the people who DO celebrate it.

Yea, and koalas suck.

H-how could you!!?

Hemisphere chauvinism! HEMISPHERE CHAUVINISM! It's Yule here!

I'm such a bad pagan. I swear I manage to forget every Sabbat every year. You'd think after almost half my life it would have stuck by now.

Anyway, yay Litha!

Litha with bonfires, pagan friends and finnish old traditions in the archipelago.

Happy Litha!

I celebrate it a day late.

But yes, Merry / Happy Litha! Or... Yule, for you weird folk.

I'll probably leave a few icecubes out to melt (because my house is too hot to let candle wax melt).

I'll probably have a ritual outside and bust open a fire hydrant for the neighborhood kiddies.

It's all part of my plan to convert them.

I'm going to get put on my roof sacrifice infants to the Sun God untill it stops being so hot.

Your Son God might take it as thanks for the hot weather and give you more.

Why not do a Rain Dance?
