Summer Solstice & Litha 06.21.2023

"It is the Summer Solstice, also known as Midsummer or Litha. The Earth rejoices in abundance and light, and so do we." ⁠
⁠
It's officially Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and I was inspired to share the energy of The Sun with you! ⁠
⁠
This quote from author & Witch @DeborahBlakeAuthor beautifully summed up the connection of the Summer Solstice with The Sun Card.⁠
⁠
This Hermit Card is from the Modern Witch Tarot by Lisa Sterle.
⁠
People have observed & revered the Summer Solstice for as long as human history has been recorded, probably longer and celebrated by Pagans & Witches as Litha or Midsummer.⁠
⁠
It marks the longest day of the year, acknowledging that the light outweighs the shadow until winter. It's associated with inner power and brightness.⁠
⁠
Litha is observed with parties, dancing, foraging, communing with nature, and you know Pagans & Wiccans love a bonfire!⁠
⁠
So celebrating the source of Light & Life on this planet gave me all The Sun feels. And the center of our solar system is technically a star, making The Sun card synonymous with Divine Light. ⁠
⁠
The sun gives us life, so it must be Divine.⁠
⁠
The Sun Card is always a welcome energy when it appears in readings.⁠
⁠
It brings light, abundance, happiness, rejuvenation, a new day, a fresh start, and a feeling of being connected with & emitting your inner light.⁠
⁠
It can mean celebration, passion & fire for life, embodying your child-like excitement for your life, and receiving all the good things you've been manifesting. ⁠
⁠
When I get The Sun in reverse in readings, it means that something or someone is diming that person's light, preventing them from living the joyful life we all deserve.⁠

How does The Sun & The Summer Solstice make you feel?⁠
