Litha, a Wiccan Lesser Sabbat.
Midsummer is one of the four solar holidays, and is considered the turning point at which summer reaches its height and the sun shines longest. Among the Wiccan sabbats, Midsummer is preceded by Beltane, and followed by Lammas or Lughnasadh.
i plan to celebrate this year's Litha, 21th June 2018, with a red candle, celebrating fire & light of the sun, as well as with a prayer.
i plan to rub a little of frankincense essential oil in my temples to purify my consciousness & relax.
Litha Prayer to the Sun.
The sun is high above us
shining down upon the land and sea,
making things grow and bloom.
Great and powerful sun,
we honor you this day
and thank you for your gifts.
Ra, Helios, Sol Invictus, Aten, Svarog,
you are known by many names.
You are the light over the crops,
the heat that warms the earth,
the hope that springs eternal,
the bringer of life.
We welcome you, and we honor you this day,
celebrating your light,
as we begin our journey once more
into the darkness.
