Litha, celebrated on the Summer Solstice, represents the height of the sun’s power and the abundance of life during the longest day of the year. It is a time to honor light, fertility, and growth, as the earth reaches its peak energy and productivity. The festival symbolizes balance as well—the sun is at its zenith, but after Litha, days begin to shorten, marking the cycle of waning light.
Spiritually, Litha is seen as a time to embrace gratitude, renewal, and transformation. It is an opportunity to connect with nature, set intentions for personal growth, and celebrate the gifts of the season. Fire and sun symbols are prominent, often signifying vitality, protection, and purification.
Litha reminds us that the Wheel has made another turn, nature is in full bloom and we are called to spend time in the forests and near the ocean, recharging our batteries after the long journey from the colder, darker months.
Made with love & magic by Rowan Woods Coven, for the Celtic sabbat of Litha/Summer Solstice!
This 12 oz soy candle is from my beautiful new line of Sabbat Candles - Rowan Woods. This elegant line of precisely formulated and hand poured luminaries was inspired by the turning of the Wheel of the Year through the gorgeous landscape of each season.
**For a limited time, this candle also comes topped with a non-embedded pinch of English Rowan bark---please remove prior to burning the candle. English Rowan offers protection as well as a connection with the fae of the liminal spaces. I've included some as a candle blessing for you.
The Litha candle is a soft sea breeze essence sprinkled with cornflowers and aquamarine chips on top.
I have worked tirelessly developing this line, almost all are currently available. I am certain you will love each one!
