Litha- a holiday celebrated across many cultures, including Pagan, Wicca and Celtic traditions. Also known as Midsummer, which honours the longest day of the year, Litha is commonly referred to as the Summer Solstice. Litha is viewed as the beginning of summer, a time of fertility, re-birth and abundance in nature. Fire is long associated with Litha, with bonfires and fire-wheels incorporated in celebrations, representative of the abundance of light and the internal fire and passion that this time of year brings to the individuals. If one is living seasonally, the beginning of Summer marks the time of energy and business, reaping the rewards of your rest and harvest. Litha is also viewed as a period for love and marriage, spurred on by the fertility and energy of nature.
