Midsummer are when the days are at their longest. Summer Solstice (Litha) is tied to the power of the feminine earth energies it is considered to be one of the most potent times to gather powerful healing herbs.
Midsummer is seen as both a fire and water festival. The fire cleanses and purifies. The water element represented by the holy springs, wells, lakes & cauldron is for emotional healing & renewal.
The faeries and nature spirits spread their magick of love, beauty and healing at this time.
