Litha / Summer Solstice / Mid-Summer's Eve 2012

Today the Solstice occurs at 7:09pm (Indiana/EST)

In the Wiccan world of Earth cycle appreciation, there are 8 major holy days/holidays that are used to celebrate the Earth. There are 2 Solstices, 2 Equinoxes and 4 cross quarter moments (times exactly midway between each of the 4 Solstices or Equinoxes.)

 

 

This major Wiccan holy day or Sabbat is the Summer Solstice, named Litha in the Wiccan world. In 2012, we celebrate Litha on June 20th. It is the longest day of the year. The sun is regarded as being at its highest power and influence today. Check out The Chart for a complete calendar list and times of occurances of Solstices, Equinoxes or Cross Quarter events for your part of the world.
