This last Monday saw the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. It is known by many pagans as the festival of Litha, or high summer. The Glastonbury based pagan and New Age shop Goddess and the Green Man poetically notes the high point of the year and the joy of high summer. This is the peak of the Solar year and the Sun is at the height of its life-giving power. The Earth is awash with fertility and fulfillment and this is a time of joy and celebration, of expansiveness and the celebration of achievements. Yet within this climax is the whisper and promise of a return to the Dark. As the Light reaches its peak so this is also the moment when the power of the Sun begins to wane. From now on the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer and we are drawn back into the Dark to complete the Wheel of the Year. Why not catch up with some pagan blogs this high summer and learn more about the various traditions that make up contemporary pagan beliefs. We have put some links on our website for your to explore.
