"Litha – Summer Solstice" — Wheel of the Year
Collection,| Wiccan Sabbats Series At the height of light, he looks right through you — and
blesses you. This is Litha, captured in oil as pure solar gold. At the centre
is the Sun God himself at his zenith, his skin lit from within, his piercing
blue eyes gazing out from a halo of spirals, bubbles of light and sacred
geometry. His hands rise to form the ancient delta, the triangle of fire,
and within that window, a glowing honeycomb mandala blooms — at its heart, the
word LITHA emblazoned like a sun-seal. On his palm, a bee, the priestess of
summer, traces the honeycomb of life. Around him, the world is in full ecstasy.
Three great sunflowers guard him like solar sisters, their centres turning in
hypnotic spirals. Rays of green and gold light burst from behind him in a
retro, stained-glass dance. Below, a wild garland of summer flowers —
frangipani, lilies, cornflowers — pushes up into the frame, unapologetically
alive. It is the moment of
peak power, abundance, passion and fullness — when Mother Earth is heavy with
fruit and the Sun God is at his most radiant and virile. Traditionally it is a
fire festival of joy, bonfires, handfastings, and honey mead. In the old
mythos. To celebrate Litha is
to celebrate light while you have it. Why this print belongs in your home: A
print of Litha is a portal of solar energy. It brings confidence, vitality,
abundance and creative fire into any space. Hang it where you need to remember your own zenith — your
office, your altar, your sunniest wall. It is a powerful anchor for
manifestation, for summer-born souls, and for anyone who needs a daily reminder
to make a triangle with their hands, frame their own light, and say: This is my
summer. I am in full bloom. This is not just a painting. It is Midsummer, held. |
