Litha (or, Midsummer) begins on the Summer Solstice, marking the time of the year at which the sun has reached its highest point in the sky before it begins to wane into darkness. It is the longest day of the year when light & life are most abundant. The Sun God & the Oak King (or, Green Man) are at the peak of their strength before they too begin descending with the sun into the latter half of the year, at which point, the Cailleach & the Holly King begin to rise to their thrones. In Christian theology, Midsummer marks the Feast of St. John the Baptist, often portraying him similarly to the Green Man & also celebrating the forest (or, Nature as a whole). Let it also be noted: there are a lot of misunderstandings between Beltane & Litha in Wiccan traditions. Beltane is often seen as “Midsummer” & holding the traditions of Litha, though it specifically means “May” & is celebrated as one of the four fire festivals & as the peak of Spring. Also during Beltane, the fairies are said to cross over into the physical realm. During Midsummer’s Eve, the fairies hold their last celebrations in the physical realm, drinking gaily, making love, wreaking havoc, & playing their tricks or giving good fortune to humans, before returning back to the ethereal plane.
