Midsummer is also sometimes referred to by Neopagans, Wiccans and others as Litha. The fire festival or Lith- Summer solstice is a tradition for many pagans.
Solstice celebrations still center upon the first day of Summer according to the calendar. However, there are some who still choose to hold the rite on the 21st of June, although this is not always the longest day of the year. The solstices can vary within a two or three day period.
On this day, the noon of the year and the longest day, light and life are abundant. We focus outward, experiencing the joys of plenty, tasting the first fruits of the season. In some traditions the sacred marriage of the Goddess and God is celebrated (in other traditions this is attributed to the springtime holidays).

Carline and I have been very busy, rather overwhelmed with moving to our new home over the last couple of months. We are finally getting settled but there is still much to be done until July. When the dust settles and we get things back to normal and the newsletters will get back on track. But until then I am combining the Sabbat Missive and New Arrivals into one issue. I just do not have time this month to do two newsletters... barely time for this note to you all. So below you will find New Arrivals from Crystal Earth Studio. Enjoy!
Merry meet and merry part, and merry meet again.
