#shamanicdrumming #spiritualjourney #solstice The Summer Solstice is also know as Litha. Depending on your individual spiritual alignment, there are many various ways you can celebrate Litha. For rituals and ceremonies the focus is nearly always on celebrating the power of the Sun. Mid Summer Night’s Fire Ritual English villagers used to set a big bonfire on Midsummer’s eve to ward off evil spirits. Traditional Midsummer bonfires are still lit on some of the high hills in Cornwall. Litha is commonly celebrated using fire rituals and ceremonies as the fire element is related to the sun. If you are unable to build your own bonfire you can still honour the Solstice’s ruling element at home. Stay home, meditate and light some candles. Practice A Sun Dance Traditionally in North America the Summer Solstice is celebrated by young warriors performing a Sun Dance. Tribes saw the Sun as a manifestation of the Great Spirit. Head out to the hills and practice a Sun Dance, this could be done with your family or friends (at a safe distance of course) Stay up and enjoy the extended daylight hours, dance and celebrate Mother Nature in all her glory.
