“Wear bright colors!”
Me wearing only white and black:
👁👄👁
well, you are 50% there
I wore green. Thats it. A very dark green.
I only wear black and I have crystals of Lithas colors in a crystal cage and wear that around
Well then your prepared for any occasion
This is my first year celebrating Litha and your video series on the Sabbats have been so helpful! I really appreciate all the work you do for us on TH-cam. Many blessings to you on midsummer 💕🌸
This will be my first year celebrating it too.
Jòn Amundson that’s alright! You got this this year!
Are you a real witch
I'm new to Paganism and this has been very helpful, thank you!
I’m an atheist but I think pagans are cooler than Christians.
Rolando Cueva they are more accepting that’s for sure
I wish I had a larger witchy community in my area, but I’m hoping to do a bonfire with just me and my fiancé and cook some symbolic dishes ❤️
SleepyShadow Cat me too!
Same here, whereabouts are you?
Same but with my bestie
Same. But I can't even do this with my guy - he thinks it's weird. 🙄
So Do I, aastrowitch
When you have a sports tournament on Litha but your uniform is the colors of Litha: We've beaten the system, boys
I am still in the broom closet and just learning my craft. Thank you for giving me some ideas on how to celebrate Litha.
Thank you for your Sabbat Collection, it’s super helpful. My husband and I live in the states in Florida. So we plan on driving to the east coast of the state to watch the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean, then drive to the west coast to watch the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. Thank you!🌞💕
that sounds amazing, congratulations!!
Speaking of Sacred Sites, if there are those here from South Wales, theres a forest called Porthkerry, it's absolutely beautiful and a lot of witches go there! I really recommend going there :) I go there a little later in the day when it becomes a lot quieter, theres also a beach there, you can just feel the energies from the forest and the sea and their are a lot of ancient spirits there💖
I ABSOLUTELY adore this series this is SO informative omg I’m forever thankful. I could watch you for hours I swear!! 💛☀️🌼
I’ve just been trying to find an informative video so I can learn about summer solstice/Litha as I am new to all this, but I kept coming across videos of some hungry hipsters blabbing on about what they’re gonna be doing to celebrate or selling over priced “magic” items on their etsy...just being annoying an narcissistic...so I am very grateful to have found this video..it’s very educational and informative...You really know your stuff! Thanks and keep it up!
Coming back and watching this video to prepare for tomorrow early morning for the sunrise
I intend to carve ogham on my staff and then visit Stone Circle... A local place where people tend to build fires. Happy Litha Hearth! Stay magical!
When I go for a walk I do a meditation down at the beach
I love all of your content!! Thank you so much for creating these videos. I’ve been celebrating the Sabbats for years now, and really love watching these as I’m getting in the mood & preparing for the shift in seasons. I’m throwing my first small gathering since Covid for the Summer Solstice next weekend, and reallly appreciate the refresher on everything. You cover a lot of information & I honestly haven’t come across another channel that lays it all out the way you do!! Sooo excited for Litha this year as we begin to re-emerge from the Covid Cocoon!!
I’ll definitely be sharing this video on my live stream event page... not all the Californians know about the Sabbats. I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now, Thank you!
It’s so funny that u said this is a popular day to make wands. I’ve been practicing for over 20 years and never felt drawn to make a wand until the past few days and planned on doing so in the next few days :)
Celebrating my first Litha this year, very excited to be celebrating 🤗
Something told me to wear a red t-shirt and thinking that might be Litha or another fairy.
I am an Australian Witch but my Grandfather was born in London and I do feel connected if that makes sense.
I wish I could watch the sunrise and the sunset, but the sun rises at 2.35 am and sets at 11.47 pm, there's no way I'm able to stay up that long. :D
Lmao that's me on the daily🤣🤣
I would love to hear some testimonials on how Wican or pagan rituals and spells have worked I the lives of those who have been practicing. After all, results are why these rituals and spells are performed.
When it comes to cooking with herbs I use the supermarket herbs as I know they are safe for me o use. I am still learning about the herbs. And which ones to use in my craft and ones to use in the kitchen,
Making rose water.. lemon solstice bread.. and having a nice dinner.. outside to enjoy the beautiful sun ☀️
Thank you for this video, this year I'm definitely going to do the midsummer bonfire and cook some dishes. And I'll definitely get up early so I can watch the sunrise and stay up late so I can watch it set.
So nice to hear your words and the meanings behind them. As a Solstice baby, this is a precious time of the year for me. I am enjoying the produce of my herb and vegetable gardens, and the blackberries from the fields nearby. Blessed Litha to you all
Yay! I've been waiting for the one. Thank u for answering my question on the live video Xx
Your hair omgg I’m in love
Thank you! Love this video, very informative!💖💖💖
Love your channel, please keep it up! I look foward to your videos
You are always so thorough. I really appreciate it, thank you! 💜
Thank you! super informative! have a great solstice
Thank you for all you do. Your videos always get me ready for the coming season.
Excellent video! Blessed be!
That was such a helpful video! Thank you!!
I love your channel 🌸
Thank you 🧚🏻♀️✨✨
Rewatching this today, blessings today x
Love these videos! These and the candle vids are my favorite. I love learning about lore and history.
Thank you for this video Hearth! It's so informative! Happy Litha 🖤
loved loved loved all this information! just subbed!
Extremely educational as always! Thank you! 😘😘😘
Beautiful energy and information, gratefully appreciated.
Thank you I love your channel I always learn something new 🌸🌼
Anyone else pause the video every two minutes to write everything in their book of shadows? Just me ok.
Getting prepared together haha
You are not the only one 😂
You have great informative videos on the sabbats for beginners. Thank you!
Love love love this video... I enjoy all your videos! Informative as always. I could listen to you forever!
I really enjoyed today's content, and I must say I learned some new things. Some of the topics discussed today I have never heard before and I've been practicing for the last 10 years. For example the fairy laughter. Just before the sunrise of lithia I had heard children's laughter, though there were no children around me. I just missed it as children playing out of my sight and continued about my day. But now I'm wondering if I heard the laughter as they traveled to dance in my backyard. This video is going to be saved as a reference for next year celebration. This year I was able to visit my grandfather to celebrate Father's Day, which to me is a beautiful way to celebrate as you get to honor your lineage and the people you came from. I'm so honored and blessed two have two of my family members be practitioners, my mom and aunt, who are simply thrilled to celebrate with me.
I truly feel sorry for those who are in the broom closet and are unable to celebrate with their kindred.
I appreciate this video. You always share wonderful information. I appreciate you!
I’m going through and watching all the how to celebrate videos. Thank you for all this information. It is much easier to get references along with helpful information.
Such a blessing to have found your channel 💜 thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏 love and blessings x
Excellent detail. Thank you for sharing this.
I like the way you talk and explain, so natural and authentic with so much useful information, thank you 🤗🏵🌼🌻
I think you are FABUlous x thank you so much for sharing I found your videos so helpful x
on my first litha celebration, i remember hearing music i dont remember what it sounded like but i hope to hear it again one day :)
Very knowledgeable! Love it!
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks for another great video ☺
I can't wait for my Litha mystery box, I'm sure you'll have picked some excellent and useful items. So far I'm planning to see the Sun rise and set and research some food to celebrate with. I'd like to get some sunflowers and if I get chance enjoy a walk outdoors too.
Thank you so much for answering my questions on the live video. I've got my list of crystals to buy and place around my home ☺
Great video. I’m just back from a lovely ceremony in an orchard with Fae friends and new friends who had the same idea to do ritual at this fire pit.. It’s inspired me to learn more, hence I found you 🙏🏼
Really enjoying your well thought out videos..I'll definitely be doing a ritual for litha. I've just decorated my altar, I really enjoy changing it with the seasons.
THANK YOU for your explanation of the horned God and triple goddess throughout the seasons. I couldn't find ANYTHING on Google about them and the sabbats together ❤️
I know this so isn't the point, but YOUR HAIR! 😍 (And also, excellent video, as always 😊 )
We are heading towards litha in the southern hemisphere and have a total fire ban so no bonfires for me! But we have an interesting time melding christmas and litha here and have the usual christmas tree (saving trunk for yule log) but decorate with gold baubles and floral patterns. Lots of strings of dried lemons and oranges and Sun motifs too!
I'm still learning hearth witchcraft and your videos are very helpful for me
great video yet again :) I think you've found another one of your callings :)
Thanks, amazing video, really informative. You got a new subscriber 🙂. I don’t know yet what im gonna be doing on Litha but im looking forward to celebrate it.
Thank you.
Thank you so much. ♡♡♡♡
Love this vid
Nice information. I'm trying to add more magic in my home.
Thank you again for your wonderful information 💜💜💜. Would you please consider doing a video on how to design a magical front/back yard and or garden? I have to do landscaping on both and I’d like to incorporate magical things 😊💜. Thank you!
BrilliantLove2 Hi there, I grow all of the herbs & flowers that I use in my magical workings in my very small front & back gardens. I make my own loose incenses from them, magical oils, cleansing bath bombs etc.
BrilliantLove2 also if you have enough space you could create a permanent sacred circle from rocks (or plants) for doing outdoor workings & rituals. An outside shrine to a deity would be wonderful too & a labyrinth area for walking meditations
Jane Sargeant thank you! I need to do some more search on what is safe for dogs, kids and likes shade!
Jane Sargeant those are wonderful ideas! Thank you! I could definitely do a sacred circle and deity shrine, I ordered a green man plack the other day as well, I am so excited, I have two mulberry trees that I have felt are my faerie trees and want to honor them too. 😊
BrilliantLove2 I still grow baneful herbs (poisonous ones) & have a young grandson. What I did was choose one area for the banefuls & got pop up net covers that go over the top of them so they can’t be accidentally picked. I have found that the magical plants I grow myself have much more power. Growing them yourself enables you to build a stronger connection to them & their spirits. I wish I had the space for a labyrinth walk & sacred circle of stones, feeling really excited for you about your magical garden 😁
you're hair is beautiful
Blessed be.
thank You🌹
I celebrated it yesterday evening, it was wonderful and enchanting in my garden😍
It was lightly raining here and i transpanted some flowers ^^ it seemed like everything was possible
I used to stay outdoors all night, weather permitting. There’s hardly any darkness where we live.
A day after Litha, I got a wren in my house! Opening the doors gently encouraged her to leave. I don’t know if there was any significance but it was interesting.
Happy litha
My recipe for cider is
3 gallons apple juice NOT CONCENTRATE.
2 sticks of cinnamon.
2 cups sugar.
1 packet of EC 1118 yeast.
2 cups water.
Take the 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water and melt down together.
Once done take 2 cinnamon and drop in hot melted sugar.
Let cool for about 5 min. And poor apple juice in 5 gallon bucket.
Put sugar water and cinnamon into apple juice. Add packet of yeast.
Cover with cheese cloth and put in warm dry place for 24 hrs.
Once times up bottle cider let sit for 1 hour then drink.
Love the video! I am hoping to have my circle set in my backyard by Litha. I am setting in bricks and some round stones a friend and I carved animals associated with the celebrations during the Wheel of the Year. I have river pebbles for in between and want to do a triskelion with a burn pit in the middle. Eventually, I'll be planting ground cover in each section: German chamomile, Roman thyme, and Corsican mint are the most likely. Hoping to make it a really sacred and comfortable space.
Me watching this one day later 😶
All i did was look up how to celebrate and i learned more about tarot and lit candles and cleaned my home with my fam. Ill try more next year cuz im still new to this 💜
When would i do a witches ladder? And i have never done a witches ladder so how would i go about doing one or learning to do one? What is the soul purpose of doing a witches ladder?.
Been waiting for this. Your Litha altar video inspired mine this year. Thanks for working so hard for us. You are so so SO appreciated! Many blessings.
I love you❤❤ i always learn something magic also I practice my english 😁
I recommend making sun tea on litha I like to set it out at sunrise and drink it at sunset. Sun tea is just tea set out in the sun for a couple of hours.
< Eyes roll back in his head and starts chanting positive blessings while shaking his VooDoo stick>…. You Rock… Thank You….
Where did you get the black zodiac couch cover/blanket that we always see behind you?
It's from Killstar xx
Kool thx. Love watching your vids.
Hearth, Since sunlight actually is white .....
Could white be another color to use in solar magick?
Can a fire pit be used in a Litha celebrationin leiu of having a bonfire?
What a coinsedence that i'm watching this video randomly on the 21st on June lol
What do you do with the offering after having given it to the fae. And can I do that without signing any contract with them? I'm not necessarily trying to work with them but I would like to give them something. If that's a thing 😂
Great ideas as usual!! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never heard someone pronounce Litha like I do!
I’m doing some last minute preparation for Litha ;-;
Nothing extravagant, because I’m new to witchcraft, but I wanted to celebrate regardless.
Meditating in the sun and having honey cake
Can Litha be celebrated ,even though I have to stay in the house ? ( I have big health problems with the sun & extremely high temperatures)
Could Chili Peppers also be associated with Litha ?
My house almost burnt down a few days ago...what does that mean?(btw I'm in the southern hemisphere so it's Litha here)
Are Litha the samme thing as July 4 th ?
Is this can celebrate by catholics?
First ❤❤ blessing hearth
Sorry, but "paricipating in drinking a fruit juice" is the funniest way I've heard anything phrased all day
I don't thin jade is easy to find, not real jade anyway. Am I wrong??
Isn't cinnabar a toxic crystal ?
I have been lead to decorate my alter with oak leaves okay?
LJ Truth always decorate any way you please and whatever you like. Sounds lovely. 😀☀️🌍
I’ve heard lots of ways that people pronounce Litha. I’ve never hear L-ee-tha before x
Same! I kind of like it better this way. Then again, I'm biased because that's how my middle name is pronounced 😊
I always pronounced it like that bit again, might be because english isnt my first language. How would you pronounce it?
Amaryllis Nightingale some pronounce it like laj ta
by the power of grayskull !!!!
