What Is Litha?
Litha, also known as the Summer Solstice, is celebrated around the world as the longest day of the year—a moment when the sun reigns at its peak and the earth is alive with abundance. Fields are lush, gardens are overflowing, and the air itself seems to hum with energy. This ancient festival honors the fullness of summer and the power of the sun, a time when crops flourish, trees grow heavy with fruit, and nature bursts into vibrant life. Many cultures have their own names and traditions for Litha, but at its heart, it’s a universal celebration of light, warmth, and the richness of the season.
Yet Litha is also a reminder of the turning wheel of the year. After the Solstice, daylight slowly wanes, guiding us toward the cooler months ahead. To honor both abundance and impermanence, communities have long celebrated Litha with feasting and fire. Gathering with friends to cook a meal using fresh, local produce is a beautiful way to mark the day and ground yourself in the season’s energy. As the sun begins to set, lighting a bonfire or candles symbolizes holding the light as darkness grows—a timeless ritual of gratitude, reflection, and connection to the cycles of nature.
