Litha (taken from Saxon tradition, the opposite of Yule) is celebrated on the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. It is also known as Midsummer Nights Eve, Alban Heruin (Druidic). On this Sabbat light and life are at their most abundant. Many Ancient monuments are aligned with the Sun at this point in the Wheel of the Year, the most famous being Stonehenge in England, though there are many more all over the world.
At Litha the Sun God has reached the moment of his greatest strength. Seated on his greenwood throne he is lord of the forests and his face can be seen in church architecture peering from countless foliate masks. In many Wiccan celebrations this is the time when the Holly King, God of the Waning Year, encounters the Oak King, God of the waxing Year, on Midsummer night. The Holly king fights the Oak King for his throne, and takes over the ruling of the year, a position he holds until the Oak King wins it back at Yule. This encounter is often re-enacted energetically at Midsummer rituals. The Oak King is not forgotten, though; in Celtic mythology, he withdraws now to the Corona Borealis, the Caer Arianrhod or 'silver wheel'. As the outer strength of the Sun wanes, its inner strength grows.
On Easter of króliczka,
let you fall into the koszyczka
kasa and good sausage,
the joy of life, something to drink
and the desire to love so much,
you have everything else behind.

Blessed Evening to you Ivy!. Prayerfully that Tennessee sky is as bright and Beautiful as the Night sky is here in S.C.! **Brightest Blessings to you my friend and I hope you have a wonderful week!
Thank you Ivy, it is an honor to be considered one of your friends. I am so enjoying the beauty of spring, it has reached deep inside me and brought forth new beginnings. Sending you dark, light, and green blessings.
BRIGHTEST BLESSINGS DEAR IVY! I hope that you had a Beautiful Ostara filled with all the seeds of New Beginnings that this Season Brings. Have a Very Blessed Day!
I hope your day was full of beautiful new life both green, flowering, animal, and friends on wings.. birds, butterfly, and insect too. I have see and greeted them all today, saying hello and sending them warm rebirth or birthday wishes.
And though I'm late I wanted to stop by and say, 'What are you doing here reading this? Go outside and welcome nature's rebirth.'
So, whether its light of day, sunset, or moonlight.. step outside, take a deep breath of Spring air, and say hello to new life everywhere. Makes you glad you're alive, doesn't it?

Ever stop and listen
Ever feel alive
And you've nothing missing
You don't need a reason
Let the day go on and on
Let the rain fall down
Everywhere around you
Give into it now
Let the day surround you
You don't need a reason
Let the rain go on and on
What a day
What a day to take to
What a way
What a way
To make it through
What a day
What a day to take to
A wild child
Only take the time
From the helter skelter
Every day you find
Everything's in kilter
You don't need a reason
Let the day go on and on
Every summer sun
Every winter evening
Every spring to come
Every autumn leaving
You don't need a reason
Let it all go on and on
What a day
What a day to take to
A wild child

OF COURSE YOU CAN! OF COURSE YOU CAN!HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
Hugs, Kallisto
