30 Days of Witchcraft ~30-Day Challenge~Day 29 Litha

We've reached our last Sabbat post for day 29 of our 30 Days of witchcraft "Write Your Craft" challenge! Litha is the Summer Solstice, the pagan's "Midsummer Night's Dream".

Litha, 2023 will be June 21 and peak at 10:57 am. It is the longest day of the year for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. It is a time to celebrate the power of the sun. The earth has warmed. Gardens are in bloom, growing heartily. We've hit the beach and harnessed the feelings of the sea, sun, and waves deep on our soul. Summer has arrived.
