Get Ready for Litha!

Litha, which falls around June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and December 21 in the Southern Hemisphere, is the celebration of the summer solstice. In most traditions of Paganism and Wicca, it's a time to honor not only the sun, but the blooming of crops and plants. In this e-course, we'll talk about ways to celebrate Midsummer, some history and folklore, Litha planting magic, decorating your altar, craft ideas and Litha recipes.
