Celebrated at the Summer Solstice, Litha marks the longest day of the year—when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and light is at its peak. The earth is vibrant and abundant, fully expressing the growth that began earlier in the year. Warmth, vitality, and life-force are everywhere.
Historically, falling between June 20-23, the Summer Solstice has been recognized as a moment of power and fullness. Fires were lit to honor the sun, bless the land, and strengthen protection for the months ahead. Though the light is at its height, this turning point also carries awareness: from here, the days will slowly begin to shorten. Litha invites presence—an intentional inhabiting of the moment before the shift begins.
The Summer Solstice is a celebration of sovereignty, confidence, and embodied power. It asks you to stand fully in your energy, to acknowledge what you have cultivated, and to claim the strength and clarity that come from being rooted in your own light.
Ways to Work with Summer Solstice Energy

The Summer Solstice reminds us that power is not rushed or forced—it is held, embodied, and honored in the fullness of the moment.
