Litha, also known as Midsummer or Summer Solstice, is a pagan holiday celebrated on the longest day of the year, usually around June 21st. It is a time of joy and celebration, as the sun reaches its peak and nature is in full bloom. The name "Litha" itself comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "litha" meaning "gentle" or "mild", reflecting the warmth and abundance of this season. Litha has been celebrated by various pagan traditions for centuries, and it holds great significance in the Wiccan and Druidic calendars. It is considered a time of balance and harmony, as the energy of the sun and the earth merge together. This is seen as a time of heightened spiritual connection, and many pagans use this opportunity to perform rituals, meditate, and connect with the natural world.
Spellcaster - A cute app that has a simple tarot option, a spell book and daily horoscopes, as well as a link to the creator’s blog. The spell book only has about five spells in it, and isn’t that glamorous, but it is a cute set up and I think it will be great once it has been added to. This app (and the blog) is something cute to look over during your morning cup of coffee.

The main focus of Litha is the celebration of the sun and its life-giving energy. Fire plays a central role in Litha rituals, as bonfires are lit to symbolize the power of the sun and to drive away any negative energies.
