Litha

Litha One of the Lesser Sabbats, also known as Midsummer or the Summer Solstice. It is the longest day of the year when the Sun is at its zenith, and consequently the shortest night. The Sun reaches its peak, and we enjoy the warmth of the longest day of the year. In times past, sacred fires were built on hilltops. People danced ceremonially around the fire for luck and protection. Burning herbs were taken from the flames and used to bless the livestock. Burning herbs in sacred fires at Midsummer is a tradition that is still carried on today. It is also a festival of community sharing and planetary service, and as such it is an ideal time to make a pledge to Mother Earth of something that you will do to improve the environment or the welfare our fellow creatures -- human or animal -- and then begin carrying it out. In many Wiccan traditions, Midsummer symbolizes the end of the reign of the waxing year's Oak-King, who is now replaced by the Holly-King of the waning year (who rules until Winter Solstice). The Goddess is viewed as pregnant from her union with the God at Beltane. The child she carries is a reincarnation of the God, who will be born again at Yule.
