Midsummer Solstice Vlog (Craft Project & Recipe Included for Litha!)

Hello You Magickal Beings!
I know, this video is a bit “after the fact”, but the past week or so since Litha has been INSANE! I’ve been working a lot, planning a wedding, and working on building my Instagram page, which has been pretty successful! I reached my first 1000 followers on there, and have even upped my subscriber count right here on my Youtube channel because of it, so I am super stoked and just want to thank you guys so much from the bottom of my heart, for all of your support!

Now here is my Litha Vlog, so you can see what I was up to on this past June 21, 2017 – aka the Midsummer Solstice. In this video you’ll get to go for a little drive with me so I can tell you all about the wonderful plans I have for the rest of this day! You’ll also get to watch my cute little game of tag that I had with a butterfly!

So in this Vlog, I reference various other videos and vlogs that I have released in the past month or so regarding Litha. I will link you guys to them here, as well as through the info cards in the actual video.
In this video, I show you how to make a little Viking Boat with a craft project that I got from the book “Midsummer” by Llewellyn Sabbat Essentials. All you need are some popsicle sticks, the bottom of a wine cork, a stick, and a couple pieces of construction paper to make it. The origins of this project stems from the Vikings as well as some other cultures, who used to make midsummer pilgrimages to bodies of water. They would send off their hopes and dreams along with flower or candle offerings on these tiny boats, into the sunset.

You can watch my complete tutorial in this video, and also my complete book review from where I got this idea HERE!

I also make some midsummer solstice wine. I made the recipe up myself and the “Midsummer Solstice” wine that I used was from the winery at Alstede Farms, which I got when we went Strawberry picking for the Full Strawberry Moon. Watch that Vlog Here!

Also come along with me on my own little pilgrimage to my local park so I can do my little Litha Ritual with the Viking Boat offering that I made myself!

Thanks so much for watching! I hope you all had a very blessed Litha and Midsummer Solstice!

Blessed Be!

Hello My Magickal Beings!!
I wanted to share a very magickal craft project with you all today because we are right in time for LITHA, aka the Midsummer Solstice!!

Litha is the longest day of the year when the solar energies are at their most heightened state. The power of nature is strong, everything is in bloom and flourishing and ripening on their vines to prepare for Lammas (harvesting festival)!

In this video, I thought it would be fun to celebrate the solstice by honoring the sun with this cute little salt dough sun craft project for Litha, which is one of the projects pinned in my pinterest board for Litha!

 View my whole Litha Pinterest board HERE!

I am using the Salt Dough recipe from the Ozark Pagain Mamma!

It’s a very simple recipe with only 3 ingredients:
Salt, Flour & Water! You’ll also need some small bowls to use as stencils to cut our your circle shapes. You can get curly handle utensils, just like the one I used to make the sun’s rays here!
Also if you would like to get in the spirit for Litha, here is a super informative book that has some amazing rituals, recipes, lore, spells, divination, crafts, correspondences, invocations, prayers and meditations. It’s called Llewellyn’s Sabbat Esstentials: Midsummer Rituals, Recipes, & Lore for Litha! I did a complete review on this book which you can watch HERE!

So after your sun plaque and ornaments are baked, you can paint them! Please watch part 2 of this video above,  to join me as we paint and glitter our suns for Litha! For the painting of the sun, here are the following supplies that I used:

All of the paints that I used are from Liquitex:
Cadmium Yellow Medium (Base Color on Body)
Cadmium Red Light (Shading Wash on Base /Around Face/in Swirls)
Also Cad Red Light on Cheeks
Burnt Umber Deeper Shade in Crevices Throughout
Ultramarine Blue (Green Shade) for Eye Pupils
White Paint for eye sockets

I mentioned Acra Crimson in the video, but I actually only ended up using that color for the ornaments, and not on the sun plaque.

I also used fine pink glitter and the ribbons and glitter pens, I just bought from the dollar store!

My Altar Tour for Litha

Hello You Magickal Beings!!

I know I’m a few days late on this, but I still wanted to upload it because I spent a lot of time filming and editing it! Also, my actual day of Litha, which was June 21 for us in the Northern Hemisphere, was INSANE! It was action packed… I spent the weeks leading up to in, in preparation for it, and then the actual day of, I worked all day, and then got home at 4 pm only to prep more for it, lol. So I didn’t have as much time all month than I would have liked, to produce all the videos I had originally wanted to for it.

I also had some other recipes I wanted to do, and I even did do another craft and quick solstice wine recipe that will be in my next video that I’ll be posting in the next day or so. That will be my Litha vlog, which will contain all of the fun things I did ON the midsummer solstice this year.

Anyway, this video is better late than never! Also I’d like to cite a few of the references and things that you see IN This video so that I can better inform you about where I obtained them, or learned the information that I am supplying you with!

*The glittery sun plaque displayed on my altar is a homemade craft project that I made out of salt dough, and then painted with acrylic paints and glitter. I did a 2 part video series on these which you can find here…

Part 1 (Baking)
Part 2 (Painting)

*The Oracle cards used on my altar are from the Chakra Oracle deck by Tori Hartman, which can be purchased here

(NOT an affiliate link)
*The small anise candle in front of the sun plaque was gifted to me by my dear friend Dena Miller from the Youtube Channel @MiladyLeela

*The Viking Boat craft project and crystal/herb/flower correspondences came from Llewellyn’s Sabbat Essentials MIDSUMMER book which I did a review on, you can view that here!

Music is “The Poisoned Princess” by Media Right Productions from the Youtube Creator’s Library.

Llewellyn’s Sabbat Essentials Book Review (Litha)

Hello Magickal Beings!

Happy June and Midsummer Solstice to you all! Join me in my magickal garden today, as I have a very lovely book to share with you all, in preparation for LITHA which is our midsummer solstice sabbat on the wiccan/pagan wheel of the year!

The magickal book that I am covering today is called Llewellyn’s Sabbat Essentials Midsummer: Rituals, Recipes & Lore for Litha.

Here is a small description about the book:
“A celebration of the sun, fire, and the bounty of the land. Midsummer – also known as the Summer Solstice or Litha – is a time to rejoice in abundance and light. This guide to the history and modern celebration of Midsummer shows you how to work with the energy of the longest day of the year.”
In this video I will review the different sections and subjects that the book has to offer: Rituals, recipes, lore, spells, divination, crafts, correspondences, invocations, prayers, and meditations."

I will also show you a beautiful diagram of the wheel and give you some context about its position on the wheel in relation to the other sabbats throughout the year. I will also distinguish for you, the difference of sabbats between the northern and southern hemispheres. We will then chat about some of the mystical lore behind the tradition, including the battle between the mighty Oak King and Holly King. One has to die for the other to rule for the other half of the year. Which will it be?

Also, we will talk about the origins of the name Litha. It’s not as ancient of a name as we think! Perhaps it was made famous by a little epic hobbit trilogy? haha! Watch to find out!

Also here are some of the links that I talk about within the video!

* I am not affiliated with Llewellyn Publishing or Amazon in any way. I’m simply just loving this book and relaying the information if you are interested!

You can purchase this book on Amazon here for $11.99!

I am doing a GIVEAWAY on my Instagram account for a FREE 6 Card Litha Sun Tarot Reading like the one displayed in this book, once I get to my first 1000 followers! I am at 950 now, so you still have time to enter, go enter now!
