Tomorrow is Summer Solstice 2023. The wheel of the year turns, and we arrive at the longest day of the year. This day is celebrated in various ways by people all over the northern hemisphere; while the festivities vary from place to place, all are marked by the joy of living, and a sense of awe at our connection, both individually and as groups, with the enduring power of Nature.
For many pagans the day is known as Litha, a celebration of the sunlight as it reaches it's height on the longest day the year. The god Lugh, the Bringer of Light, strides across the land.
As with Winter Solstice, many very old pagan customs have been incorporated into modern celebrations. For many people these customs are a cherished part of their cultural heritage and greatly enjoyed as such. Bonfires, music, dancing and feasting never fall out of fashion.
For all who celebrate it I wish you a happy and blessed Summer Solstice.
