    I was celebrating Solstices and Equinoxes way before I attached it to anything spiritual or witchy. Now they mean even more. We always have a feast on the Saturday closest to the Summer Solstice and I also pitch a 'boho tent' in the back garden which I leave up all summer and retreat to for reading, napping, and star gazing throughout the season. I adore your videos!

    I LOVE this video. Your calm and slower speaking is seriously meditative and calming, WOW. Also, thank you for incorporating the reading. I've been trying to find times to do more readings and the way you brought them with you on your walk just made my brain switch. I can do readings anytime and anywhere! Love love love the info you shared also. So grateful for you 🙏🏻🫶🏻🩷

    This year my coven and I celebrated Litha by going into the mountains and making paintings using nature! We brought canvases, paint, and paper plates, then used things like leaves, flowers, rocks, etc. to apply paint to canvases. The intention was to capture the energy and liveliness of the sun and summer solstice to carry us through the darker months. I would highly recommend it, it’s an easy activity for all ages and tons of fun! (Of course make sure you are respectful and don’t leave any litter.)

    Last night, I sat on my porch & basked in the glow of the beautiful Strawberry Moon. Then I came inside at midnight (I'm in the US, in South Carolina) & watched the live stream of the Solstice sun rising over Stonehenge. It is super hot & humid here, so not too many outdoor activities for this very pale-skinned ginger, but I am planning a special Litha meal. Now adding making a Moon Dreamcatcher to my list. Thank you for the idea & a blessed Litha to you all!

    I was so happy to find your channel! I’m new to meeting with other witches for rituals in my city which I love, but I couldn’t make it to Litha so improvised my own ritual at home which was a beautiful experience as well. Thank you for representing witchcraft as non-dogmatic, open to all, and not focused on buying lots of expensive stuff. There’s lots of woo-woo spirituality online that’s so gatekeepy and capitalist and it really turns me off, I’m so happy to find more likeminded witches to learn with online!

    Hey, y’all, on the topic of dream catchers, please please please be careful with them. They are a closed practice and we’re stolen and commercialized from indigenous groups. If you absolutely need to buy one, please buy it from an indigenous person or group. I’m not sure about making them, but in general, I would consider it a form of knot magic, but stay away from the term dream catcher.
