Wishing everyone a very happy Summer Solstice. Typical British one here - driving rain and cold for the time of year. Had to have a bath and a snuggle to warm up after the ritual!!

Did you go to Stonehenge Ian? Lots of my friends went this year. What does Litha mean?

Blessed Litha to you, Ian. Our summer starts at 10:16 AM tomorrow morning our time in Nevada, USA.
I am so ready for summer. I can remember as a young girl my father telling me about Celtic goddesses of the sun. I would go outside on the Solstice and look up in the sky to see if they were anywhere up there. My father was Irish/Norwegian and prayed a lot, often to the old Celtic gods and goddesses.

Thanks everyone. Avoided Stonehenge as the sight of all the drunk/stoned idiots dancing on the stones annoys me. The weather brightened up later so enjoyed it at lunchtime and during the travel between the safety jobs I do for Portsmouth city council. Looking forward to ending the day with Ninjutsu training tonight.

Happy Summer Solstice to all! Our day dawned with clear skies and very warm sunshine. It is to get up to 94 today.
At 10:16 this morning, I filled my little clay pot with sage and tobacco and burned the sacred herbs and said prayers of thanks for all Creator has blessed me with.
One of these blessings is friends like all of you. Thank you.
Walk in Peace and Harmony.
