Greeting’s heathens and witches,
Welcome to the Horn and Cauldron podcast…
Midsummer, or Litha takes place on the Summer Solstice, which is the longest day of the year. Midsummer has been celebrated throughout the world since the Neolithic times with themes of abundance, growth and fertility among other things.
For our 104 series, we’re exploring elemental magic related to the themes of each season, and for Midsummer, there’s no better type to explore than solar magic! In this episode, we discuss historical examples of sun worship, ways to harness the magic of the sun, and how you can use them in your practice. Of course, we also go over sun correspondences and our own experiences (or lack thereof) with solar magic.
