Celebrate the Summer Solstice the Wiccan Way
The Summer Solstice is more than just a long enough day to get all your errands done. For many, many years it's been a day to celebrate the sun, the harvest, and the many benefits of summer's bounty. Before grills and cocktails were the best way to rejoice in the warmth, pagans and wiccans had their own way of giving thanks to the day of light and heat.

According to Celebrating the Seasons of Life: Betane to Mabon, by Ashleen O'Gaea, a bonfire was central to ancient solstice celebrations, and sometimes a "Summerpole," decorated with flowers and leafy branches, was erected. Festivities included a deosil (sunwise) dance around a fire or a pole accompanied by chanting and songs of praise for the Sun God, as folklorists at the turn of the 20 th century believed. "The livelier the dance, the better would be the harvest," according to J.A. MacCulloch in The Religion of the Ancient Celts. O'Gaea also explains that in Wiccan tradition, it is custom to wear bright colors such as red, orange, or yellow to signify the sun. And "if anyone wants to wear garlands or ribbons in their hair, so much the better. Any food you provide should be Sun-colored, and perhaps round." Some traditional foods involving such round, sun-colored fruits and vegetables include pumpernickel bread, mead, and grilled foods that use an open flame to represent the sun. Other celebratory foods might have included fruits like lemons, oranges, mangoes, peaches, or nectarines and vegetables like yellow squash, corn, and heirloom tomatoes. Honey was also a popular ingredient in Pagan customs - especially when used in the making of mead, a honeyed alcoholic beverage.
It was also believed that fairies were at their most prevalent during the Solstice. Those following Wiccan or Pagan beliefs traditionally leave out offerings of freshly harvested herbs such as lavender, fennel, chamomile, and rose petals for the fairies. Of course, you are allowed to save some of those herbs for yourself. How are you supposed to have a good Litha if your food is under seasoned?

Reviews for "Learning Magic with the Little Witch Academia Diary"
1. John - 2 stars - "I was really disappointed with Little Witch Academia Diary. The story felt underdeveloped and lacked depth. The characters were one-dimensional and didn't have any real growth throughout the book. Additionally, I found the writing to be repetitive and at times, even cheesy. Overall, it just didn't live up to my expectations."
2. Sarah - 1 star - "I couldn't get into Little Witch Academia Diary at all. The pacing was incredibly slow, and the plot felt like it was dragging on forever. The magical elements that were supposed to make the story enchanting were just plain boring to me. I felt disconnected from the characters and their struggles, making it hard to care about the outcome. It was a struggle to finish this book, and I wouldn't recommend it."
3. Emily - 2.5 stars - "Little Witch Academia Diary had potential but failed to deliver. While the concept of a magical academy is intriguing, the execution fell short. The world-building was lacking, leaving important details unexplained. The main character, Akko, was also quite annoying and lacked any real depth. The pacing felt uneven, with some parts dragging while others were rushed. Unfortunately, this just wasn't the captivating story I was hoping for."
