NOTE

Celebrating Litha and its Traditions

Litha, also known as Midsummer, is a pagan holiday celebrating the summer solstice and the beginning of summer. It borrows traditions from various cultures, including hilltop bonfires and dancing by the Celts. The concept of fire as cleansing is prevalent across cultures, symbolizing purification and transformation. Other European traditions involved rolling flaming wheels downhill into water. During Litha, a battle between light and dark symbolized by the Oak King and Holly King takes place, representing the shift in power and balance during the solstice.
