Welcome to our Summer Solstice page! Litha or Midsummer is the holiday of the Summer Solstice, when nature is at its most fruitful and powerful. It is a time of boisterous parties at the start of summer, and also a time of quiet reflection as we realize that the winter is once again coming. The moment of the greatest triumph of the Solar God is also his downfall as the days begin to shorten and we begin the long trek towards the dark half of the year once again. During the light half of the year, the God is represented by the Oak King, while during the dark half, the Holly King rules. Our ritual for Midsummer will reenact the ancient battle of the Oak and Holly King as the symbolic shift of power between light and darkness, and then we celebrate!
Please bring a chair and any beverages you would like to drink (please imbibe responsibly). You can also bring any poetry, stories or songs you would like to share that you connect to the Summer Solstice, as there will be time for that. We’ll have some food for grilling and a nice bonfire going until the evening wanes. Hopefully we’ll have good weather, and if not we will move activities indoors. We hope to see you there!
Hail and Wassail!
There will be alcohol present for those of age. BYOB is fine. We expect all attendees to monitor their intake and make responsible decisions.
Rides can be arranged. Please indicate on the RSVP if you are looking for a ride and where you want to be picked up.
If you have mobility issues please let us know on the RSVP and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
If weather proves too inclement we will move the event inside. Please check for notices on our website, email and Facebook pages.
