The days have lengthened steadily since winter's darkness. Seeds have broken through the soil, blossoms have opened to the sky, and life has stretched itself toward the light. Then, almost unnoticed, we arrive here: the Summer Solstice.

Known in many traditions as Litha, this sacred festival marks the longest day and shortest night of the year. The Sun reaches its highest point in the heavens, bathing the Earth in warmth, abundance, and vitality.
