The longest day of the year has arrived—and with it, ancient magic stirs in the light.In this special solstice episode, Kasey dives deep into the fiery heart of Litha, exploring its roots in Celtic and Germanic fire festivals, its echoes in modern traditions like Stonehenge gatherings and Midsommar, and the psychological power of sunlight on the human brain.Discover how ritual gives us control over chaos, why we leap over bonfires when the light is at its peak, and what it means to celebrate the moment just before the turning begins. Featuring fire symbolism, liminal theory, and sun-drenched modern rituals you can try yourself, this episode blends folklore, science, and soul.“To dance around fire on the longest day is to whisper to the universe: I see the shadow coming… but not yet.”Works Cited- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OL134gurKMSZaIisGG3YjuS-kppljMiS9VKjd_hu4z8/edit?usp=sharing
