How to celebrate Litha | Summer Solstice Witch Vlog | Midsummer Magick

#litha #summersolstice #witchvlog

Hi, my lovely witches, pagan and Wiccan friends!
Today you can celebrate Litha with me. Now what is the Summer solstice or Litha in its core and what do we celebrate besides the start of summer? Do you know how to celebrate Litha and what magick to do on the solstice?
I want to share some folklore and pagan traditions with you, give you Summer solstice ritual ideas, and of course, do some Litha-themed kitchen witchery!

In today's midsummer celebration we will watch the beautiful summer solstice sunrise, chat about some pagan customs of the Germanic and Celtic tribes, craft a joyful cottage witch Litha spell, learn about Midsummer and the different customs and traditions surrounding the summer solstice, go strawberry picking, bake a delicious sun-spiral charlotte cake with fresh strawberries, elderflower and basil, learn about the elder tree, the German fae and the pagan goddess Freya / Hulda and celebrate Litha together.

In other words: a wonderfully, magical witch vlog for this pagan holiday :)

Do you have a Litha ritual planned too? Why and how do you celebrate the summer solstice or midsummer?
