This is my first year celebrating Litha and your video series on the Sabbats have been so helpful! I really appreciate all the work you do for us on RU-vid. Many blessings to you on midsummer 💕🌸
Speaking of Sacred Sites, if there are those here from South Wales, theres a forest called Porthkerry, it's absolutely beautiful and a lot of witches go there! I really recommend going there :) I go there a little later in the day when it becomes a lot quieter, theres also a beach there, you can just feel the energies from the forest and the sea and their are a lot of ancient spirits there💖
Thank you for your Sabbat Collection, it’s super helpful. My husband and I live in the states in Florida. So we plan on driving to the east coast of the state to watch the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean, then drive to the west coast to watch the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. Thank you!🌞💕
I’ve just been trying to find an informative video so I can learn about summer solstice/Litha as I am new to all this, but I kept coming across videos of some hungry hipsters blabbing on about what they’re gonna be doing to celebrate or selling over priced “magic” items on their etsy...just being annoying an narcissistic...so I am very grateful to have found this video..it’s very educational and informative...You really know your stuff! Thanks and keep it up!
Something told me to wear a red t-shirt and thinking that might be Litha or another fairy. I am an Australian Witch but my Grandfather was born in London and I do feel connected if that makes sense.
It’s so funny that u said this is a popular day to make wands. I’ve been practicing for over 20 years and never felt drawn to make a wand until the past few days and planned on doing so in the next few days :)
I love all of your content!! Thank you so much for creating these videos. I’ve been celebrating the Sabbats for years now, and really love watching these as I’m getting in the mood & preparing for the shift in seasons. I’m throwing my first small gathering since Covid for the Summer Solstice next weekend, and reallly appreciate the refresher on everything. You cover a lot of information & I honestly haven’t come across another channel that lays it all out the way you do!! Sooo excited for Litha this year as we begin to re-emerge from the Covid Cocoon!! I’ll definitely be sharing this video on my live stream event page... not all the Californians know about the Sabbats. I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now, Thank you!
Thank you for this video, this year I'm definitely going to do the midsummer bonfire and cook some dishes. And I'll definitely get up early so I can watch the sunrise and stay up late so I can watch it set.
I would love to hear some testimonials on how Wican or pagan rituals and spells have worked I the lives of those who have been practicing. After all, results are why these rituals and spells are performed.
When it comes to cooking with herbs I use the supermarket herbs as I know they are safe for me o use. I am still learning about the herbs. And which ones to use in my craft and ones to use in the kitchen,
Thanks for another great video ☺ I can't wait for my Litha mystery box, I'm sure you'll have picked some excellent and useful items. So far I'm planning to see the Sun rise and set and research some food to celebrate with. I'd like to get some sunflowers and if I get chance enjoy a walk outdoors too. Thank you so much for answering my questions on the live video. I've got my list of crystals to buy and place around my home ☺
So nice to hear your words and the meanings behind them. As a Solstice baby, this is a precious time of the year for me. I am enjoying the produce of my herb and vegetable gardens, and the blackberries from the fields nearby. Blessed Litha to you all
Thank you again for your wonderful information 💜💜💜. Would you please consider doing a video on how to design a magical front/back yard and or garden? I have to do landscaping on both and I’d like to incorporate magical things 😊💜. Thank you!
BrilliantLove2 Hi there, I grow all of the herbs & flowers that I use in my magical workings in my very small front & back gardens. I make my own loose incenses from them, magical oils, cleansing bath bombs etc.
BrilliantLove2 also if you have enough space you could create a permanent sacred circle from rocks (or plants) for doing outdoor workings & rituals. An outside shrine to a deity would be wonderful too & a labyrinth area for walking meditations
Jane Sargeant those are wonderful ideas! Thank you! I could definitely do a sacred circle and deity shrine, I ordered a green man plack the other day as well, I am so excited, I have two mulberry trees that I have felt are my faerie trees and want to honor them too. 😊
BrilliantLove2 I still grow baneful herbs (poisonous ones) & have a young grandson. What I did was choose one area for the banefuls & got pop up net covers that go over the top of them so they can’t be accidentally picked. I have found that the magical plants I grow myself have much more power. Growing them yourself enables you to build a stronger connection to them & their spirits. I wish I had the space for a labyrinth walk & sacred circle of stones, feeling really excited for you about your magical garden 😁
I’m going through and watching all the how to celebrate videos. Thank you for all this information. It is much easier to get references along with helpful information.
I really enjoyed today's content, and I must say I learned some new things. Some of the topics discussed today I have never heard before and I've been practicing for the last 10 years. For example the fairy laughter. Just before the sunrise of lithia I had heard children's laughter, though there were no children around me. I just missed it as children playing out of my sight and continued about my day. But now I'm wondering if I heard the laughter as they traveled to dance in my backyard. This video is going to be saved as a reference for next year celebration. This year I was able to visit my grandfather to celebrate Father's Day, which to me is a beautiful way to celebrate as you get to honor your lineage and the people you came from. I'm so honored and blessed two have two of my family members be practitioners, my mom and aunt, who are simply thrilled to celebrate with me. I truly feel sorry for those who are in the broom closet and are unable to celebrate with their kindred.
THANK YOU for your explanation of the horned God and triple goddess throughout the seasons. I couldn't find ANYTHING on Google about them and the sabbats together ❤️
Really enjoying your well thought out videos..I'll definitely be doing a ritual for litha. I've just decorated my altar, I really enjoy changing it with the seasons.
We are heading towards litha in the southern hemisphere and have a total fire ban so no bonfires for me! But we have an interesting time melding christmas and litha here and have the usual christmas tree (saving trunk for yule log) but decorate with gold baubles and floral patterns. Lots of strings of dried lemons and oranges and Sun motifs too!
I used to stay outdoors all night, weather permitting. There’s hardly any darkness where we live. A day after Litha, I got a wren in my house! Opening the doors gently encouraged her to leave. I don’t know if there was any significance but it was interesting.
Love the video! I am hoping to have my circle set in my backyard by Litha. I am setting in bricks and some round stones a friend and I carved animals associated with the celebrations during the Wheel of the Year. I have river pebbles for in between and want to do a triskelion with a burn pit in the middle. Eventually, I'll be planting ground cover in each section: German chamomile, Roman thyme, and Corsican mint are the most likely. Hoping to make it a really sacred and comfortable space.
Great video. I’m just back from a lovely ceremony in an orchard with Fae friends and new friends who had the same idea to do ritual at this fire pit.. It’s inspired me to learn more, hence I found you 🙏🏼
Me watching this one day later 😶 All i did was look up how to celebrate and i learned more about tarot and lit candles and cleaned my home with my fam. Ill try more next year cuz im still new to this 💜
My recipe for cider is 3 gallons apple juice NOT CONCENTRATE. 2 sticks of cinnamon. 2 cups sugar. 1 packet of EC 1118 yeast. 2 cups water. Take the 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water and melt down together. Once done take 2 cinnamon and drop in hot melted sugar. Let cool for about 5 min. And poor apple juice in 5 gallon bucket. Put sugar water and cinnamon into apple juice. Add packet of yeast. Cover with cheese cloth and put in warm dry place for 24 hrs. Once times up bottle cider let sit for 1 hour then drink.
Been waiting for this. Your Litha altar video inspired mine this year. Thanks for working so hard for us. You are so so SO appreciated! Many blessings.
I recommend making sun tea on litha I like to set it out at sunrise and drink it at sunset. Sun tea is just tea set out in the sun for a couple of hours.
Thanks, amazing video, really informative. You got a new subscriber 🙂. I don’t know yet what im gonna be doing on Litha but im looking forward to celebrate it.
When would i do a witches ladder? And i have never done a witches ladder so how would i go about doing one or learning to do one? What is the soul purpose of doing a witches ladder?.
Hearth, Since sunlight actually is white ..... Could white be another color to use in solar magick? Can a fire pit be used in a Litha celebrationin leiu of having a bonfire?
Can Litha be celebrated ,even though I have to stay in the house ? ( I have big health problems with the sun & extremely high temperatures) Could Chili Peppers also be associated with Litha ?
What do you do with the offering after having given it to the fae. And can I do that without signing any contract with them? I'm not necessarily trying to work with them but I would like to give them something. If that's a thing 😂
