June 2018


 21st: Litha
The Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. As this is the time when the light is at it's strongest, it is seen as a good time to bring forward all those plans you would like to see come into fruition. It is know as the night when all wishes are granted. It is regarded as a time to gather with friends, celebrate life and look towards a generous harvest, not only of the land, but of everything we have worked towards.

 13th: New Moon

 28th: Full Moon
Marks the start of the month of Æfteraliða
