17: Summer Solstice, Midsummer, and Litha Magic

In this episode of Becoming Witchy, we discuss the magic of the summer solstice, also known as midsummer or Litha. Join us as we celebrate the height of summer and the longest day of the year, when the sun is at its most powerful. We share ways to celebrate this ancient holiday, and in our rituals that work segment, share how to harness the intense solar energy to use throughout the year in spells for warmth, abundance, creativity, and joy. We also reflect on the the year so far as summer solstice marks the half way point through the year, making this an excellent time to reflect on your 2023 tarot card and any goals you made at New Year or Beltane.
