Summer Solstice Celebration
In many cultures, the coming of Summer is the heralding of a time for love, marriage, friendship, beauty, protection, courage, magical energy, physical energy, and strength. 
It is the perfect time for Fire Magic!

 The Graduates Event: Solstice Party, June 21!
The Summer Solstice, also called "Midsummer" or "Litha", is the longest day of the year. This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun's protective glow.

Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. A naked skip through a garden on Litha night ensures fertility for the coming season. The peaceful blue color of the Lapis stone can be worn to foster physical fertility as well as psychic awareness.

Enjoy, and Blessed Be!
