You will need:

White candle
Stick of incense
Sachet bag with a drawstring
Sunstone
Rosemary for remembrance
Lavender for gratitude

Use your preferred method for preparing for spellwork. Or: Take a few deep breaths and center yourself. When your energy is calm, continue to concentrate on your breathing, feeling your power rise. Light a white candle. Light a stick of incense of your choice and slowly draw a circle around yourself and your working space.

Lay the sachet bag in front of you and place the sunstone on it. Spend a few minutes meditating on the things you are grateful for. Feel the energy of gratitude building. When you are ready, slowly fill the bag with rosemary and lavender, quietly speaking aloud some of the things you are grateful for and saying thank you.

More About the Summer Holiday of Litha

Want to explore more about the summer solstice? You're in the right place! Here's where to start:

About Litha: The summer solstice holiday on the Wheel of the Year, the witch's year.

Litha, also known as the Summer Solstice, is a celebration of the longest day and shortest night. Typically observed around June 20–22 in the Northern Hemisphere, Litha marks the peak of the sun's power and a turning point in the seasonal cycle. This sabbat's ancient roots honors abundance and the full bloom of nature. During Litha, the summer sun is at its zenith, and we are invited to pause, give thanks for the light, and reflect on how we can harness our own inner fire to grow and thrive.

Traditionally, the summer solstice is celebrated with fire festivals, outdoor rituals, feasting, and connection with the natural world. Bonfires are lit to symbolize the power of the sun and to ward off any lingering darkness. Herbs such as St. John's Wort, lavender, and chamomile are often gathered for their healing and magical properties, believed to be most potent when harvested on this day. It's a time to do rituals around fertility, creativity, and personal strength—an invitation to set intentions for the rest of the year and to celebrate the beauty of summer at its fullest. Whether through meditation, ritual, or traditions around simply spending time in nature, Litha encourages us to soak in the sunlight and embrace the joy and warmth of the season.

Litha Journal Prompts and Suggestions for the Summer Solstice

Litha Journal Prompts: Reflect during the summer solstice by using these journal prompts.

The summer solstice is a powerful time for journaling because it invites reflection on personal growth, gratitude, and the intentions you wish to carry through the second half of the year. With the sun at its peak, this solstice offers clarity and magic—ideal for capturing insights, celebrating progress, and aligning with your inner light on the pages of your journal.

The Goddess Aine: Áine is an Irish goddess associated with the sun, sovereignty, fertility, and the spirit of Midsummer. Often honored during the Summer Solstice, Áine is deeply connected to the land, particularly in County Limerick, where legends say she resides near Knockainey Hill. As a solar goddess, she represents the height of the sun's power, which nourishes crops, animals, and people alike. Festivities often honor her radiant presence, calling on her for blessings of abundance, love, and protection. Stories describe her as both a nurturing figure and a powerful force of feminine energy, embodying the fire and fullness of the season. Áine's connection to Midsummer reminds us to embrace joy, passion, and the light within ourselves.

How to Celebrate Litha

Celebrating Litha can be a joyful and meaningful way to connect with the sun, nature, and your own inner light. Since it marks the Summer Solstice—the longest day of the year—spending time outdoors is a beautiful way to discover the season. You might light a bonfire or a candle to symbolize the sun's power, decorate your space with fresh flowers and greenery, or prepare a feast using seasonal fruits, vegetables, and herbs. This is also a powerful time for setting intentions, making gratitude lists, or performing simple rituals for abundance, fertility, and personal growth. Whether through meditation, journaling, dancing, or gathering with friends, Litha invites you to rejoice in nature in full bloom and welcome the warmth, creativity, and magic of the season ahead.

Litha Associations, Symbols, and Correspondences

Litha Associations: The sun, summer flowers, herbs, and more correspondences.

Litha, the Summer Solstice, is rich with vibrant associations and correspondences that reflect the season's peak abundance. It is traditionally linked with the sun, fire, strength, passion, and fertility, symbolizing both the height of light and the beginning of its gradual return to darkness. Colors like gold, yellow, red, and orange are often used to honor the sun's magic, while symbols such as sun wheels, oak trees, and bonfires play a central role in solstice rituals. Herbs like St. John's Wort, chamomile, mugwort, and lavender are commonly gathered and used for healing, protection, and magical workings. Crystals like citrine, sunstone, and carnelian have correspondences with the fiery, energizing spirit of Litha. Animals such as bees, butterflies, and hawks also have significance with the season, representing transformation, vitality, and vision. These elements together help create a rich tapestry with symbolism around the fullness of summer.

Litha Meditation

Litha is an ideal time to delve into meditation because it aligns with the peak of the sun's power, offering clarity, vitality, and a deep connection to the natural world. As the longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice provides a moment to pause and fully immerse yourself in the present—basking in the warmth, light, and energy all around you. Meditating during the summer solstice can help you tap into your inner fire, reflect on personal growth, and align with your highest intentions for the rest of the year. Whether practiced outdoors under the sun or in a quiet space filled with seasonal scents and symbols, meditation at this time supports grounding, the magic of renewal, and a powerful sense of spiritual alignment with the rhythms of the Earth.
