Midsummer — also known as the Summer Solstice or Litha — is a time to rejoice in abundance and light. This guide to the history and modern celebration of Midsummer shows you how to celebrate and work with the energy of the longest day of the year.

Within the pages of this book you'll learn how to make a Midsummer fruited wine and rosemary shortbread cookies, and wreaths of flowers and herbs. Contains rituals, recipes, lore, spells, divination, crafts, correspondences, invocations, prayers, and meditations... all related to the height of summer and the longest days in the Wheel of the Year.

This book is part of Llewellyn's Sabbat Essentials series, which explores old and new ways of celebrating the seasonal rites that are the cornerstones of the witch's year. But the book is fascinating even for those of us who are not witches, and is very useful for helping us all connect with traditional ways to celebrate the seasons throughout the year.
