The lead-up to Litha is synonymous with one forgeable and distinctly floral ingredient in my mind: elderflower. According to ancient Scottish folklore, the Elder is a sacred tree and even contains a spirit called an “Elder Mother” who lives inside the tree and possesses magical powers – hence its long-regarded medicinal nature (mainly thanks to its magic-rich, a.k.a. Vitamin-C-filled berries).
I have a Discord for Creators that might be enjoyable for you: https://discord.com/invite/daYdgWyGuF You would be very welcome.
Thank you for this! We used to make this when I was a child. I'll restart my hunt for an elderflower to plant in the garden next spring.
