Litha, also known as midsummer or summer solstice, is typically celebrated in the northern hemisphere between June nineteenth and June twenty-fifth. This time of year finds the sun’s energy at its peak as we experience the longest day and shortest night.

Creating a Litha altar is one of the most powerful ways to directly call in, and call upon, the midsummer energy. Additionally, getting creative and having some fun by baking sun bread or making a fruit salad sweetened with honey and chopped lemon balm greatly enhances the abundant and joyful properties of this beautiful sabbat.
