Litha is known as the Festival of Growth, for this is the season of expansion and ripeness. Mother Earth is generous, giving more than we need, and we experience deep feelings of abundance. Summer is a time to celebrate all that will come to fruition during the season of warmth, as our energy is boosted by the warmth of the sun. The plants, herbs, and flowers are in full bloom, and we see the newborns of spring mature with each passing day.
