On the 21st through 23rd of June, Litha happened for all those in this hemisphere!
This summer solstice is the longest day of the year and is a time for celebrating the sun!

Crystals: Carnelian. Citrine. Sunstone. Fluorite. Tiger’s eye.

Activities:
Light a candle, incense, or start a bonfire. Take a bath with gold/yellow bath bombs or corresponding herbs and flowers.
Sunbathe. Watch the sunrise or sunset. Leave offerings for the Fae. Create a flower crown. Cleanse and charge your athame.

Herbs/Flowers/Scents: Daisies. Marigolds. Carnations. Roses. Sunflowers. Chamomile. Frankincense. Lemon. Sandalwood.

Colors: Gold. Yellow. Orange. Red. Green.

Trees: Oak.

Decorations: Candles. Sea shells. Herbs. Flowers. Feathers. Symbols of the sun.

I like to changer around my altar to show the changing of the year and on holidays refresh and cleanse. I had a far quieter time this year, as I just recently lost a loved one. I still found a little time to meditate in the sun and enjoy the beauty of the day for at least a little bit.

I recently found this playlist on 8track and was pleasantly surprised.
I hope you all enjoy it and have a blessed day!
