Have a fun Litha!

Litha, the Summer Solstice is a time of celebration of the sun's peak, the Sun Lord at full power! This celebration is of the Goddess' DOMNU and the LADY of the LAKE. Both watery Goddess' as DOMNU is the Mother of the Oceans. This aspect of Ana is extremely powerful as Her Lord and if you imagine the Ocean waves you can perceive Her power! It is to Her that tribes living alongside the Ocean pray. Known by many names across the world such as Yemaya in Africa this Goddess has been revered throughout the ages of ,mankind.



Here in Britain there were a tribe of people many moons ago who worshipped Her (Domnu) in great reverence. This tribe, the ancient Irish Fomoire, one of the spiritual ancestry of Britain, revered the Ocean as the giver of Life. They were magical creatures and were the Mer-people and lived in harmony with the Ocean and Domnu. Domnu was born of Chaos and Old-Night, two of the original manifestations of the Lord and Lady's predecessors. Essential and powerful manifestations of the Universe' creation!

For more information on the spiritual ancestry of Britain please see the book by Kathy Jones entitled "Spinning the Wheel of Ana".

Litha Ritual

Always goto watery places at this time of year to truly appreciate the Goddess' energy. As Domnu we find her at the ocean's edge and at the Lakeside we find her as Lady of the Lake.
By making offerings to the waters we can honour these two aspects of the Goddess. The offerings can be flowers or floating candles or homemade paper boats (decorated with designs to honour Litha)
Making prayers as we watch these float away to the Goddess for fruitful harvests and fertility, for prosperity and health, for fun and mirth, for happiness and peace.
ENJOY!

Blessed Be.

Litha Blessings!

As the summer reaches it's height,

So the birds are put to flight.

Dancing begins at sunset

Goes on til dawn in the heat of the night.

Fires a'burning, music a 'plays

Feeling for more hot, hot days.

Litha spirit fills the air,

Dancing dolphins through the waves,

Seals, the selkies make us aware

Of Domnu's presence at Summer Solstice

Mother of the Oceans brings blessings galore

Fertility, Abundance, Prosperity,

Blessings of a glorious summer to be

As Ana begins to blossom fine

So the flowers fill our mind

Smells of sweet Roses,

Jasmine, Fuschia, Freesia

Drifting on the summer breeze

Fairies come to dance with glee

At Stonehenge there's a frenzy of activity

Druids gather to bless you and me

Dancing, Singing, Music, Fire

Hours of fun to bring in the dawn

Of the summer's height

When the Sun doth shine

Midsummer madness fills the air

Everyone is greeted with a flair

Of happiness and laughter

Warmth of the soul ever after

Drums a 'sounding to the beat

Of summer's wonderful blessed heat!

Blessed Be
