This coming Tuesday, 21st June, marks Litha or Midsummer in the Northern Hemisphere. The ancient festival celebrates the longest day and shortest night as the Earth tilts closest to the sun and the evenings seem endless here in Scotland. The Summer Solstice marks the beginning of astronomical Summer, and - as at all these transition points - certainly feels like a fresh start to me. This time of year in the Celtic Wheel traditionally celebrates light, sun, growth, fire, fertility, warmth and abundance.
Lovely post and photographs! 🌸 🕯
Such a wonderful time of year. 💕💕💕
I love this! I really like how you make short lists of ways to celebrate the turning of the year, with things that are actually *doable.*
This is entirely so wholesome! I feel so much intersects with our perception of seasons, from design to lifestyle.
