Here’s how witches and spiritual souls around the world honor the Summer Solstice:
1. Bonfires & Fire Festivals:
In places like Stonehenge, thousands gather to witness the sunrise align perfectly with ancient stones, a reminder of the connection between earth and sky. Bonfires were historically lit to mirror the sun’s power and keep those pesky evil spirits at bay. 🔥
Scandinavia knows how to throw a Midsummer party! Think dancing around a maypole, feasting with friends, and celebrating fertility, love, and the blooming of nature.
2. Herbalism & Healing:
During the Summer Solstice, it’s believed that herbs and plants are at their most potent. Many cultures, from Native American to Celtic, gather herbs for healing rituals and future spellwork. Go ahead, fill your basket with herbs that sing to your soul. 🌿✨
3. Water Rituals:
In several traditions, swimming or bathing in rivers, lakes, or seas during the solstice is a symbolic cleanse for body and spirit. Take a dip and let those waters carry away what no longer serves you. 🌊💫
4. Sunrise & Sunset Observances:
Whether you’re a sunrise meditation fan or more of a sunset reflection type, these moments offer a powerful chance to harness that golden solstice energy. Meditate, practice yoga, or just bask in the stillness as the day begins or ends. 🧘♀️🌅
