Oh I had the first "like", that makes me happy. Those kinds of things are so satisfying. Like turning off the timer just as it beeps once.

The ashes fertilizing the ground has truth to it. People used to spread fall leaves over their yards and do a controlled singe/burn. The next spring the yards would be a beautiful dark green carpet.

Thanks for this lovely video, Bex. In Italy we put the flowers in water and let it sit outside to collect the dew overnight. We use the water to wash our hands and faces to purify ourselves and attract luck, love and health. Usually the flowers are hypericum, lavender, mallow, mugwort, sage, rosemary, mint, but also chamomile, roses, poppies and cornflower. Happy harvest!!

I did upload this as a live and then my internet didn't work 😅 so sorry for being absent in the live chat! I am currently in Austria to see the solstice fires in the mountains and the internet connection is questionable 😄 where and how are all of you celebrating Litha?🔥

I wash my face with morning dew collected on my huge lady's mantle plant. I'll be holding sacred space in the forest and decorate my outdoor altar with gifts from the garden. blessed be!

How timely as always, It’s a beautiful day, sunny, warm but not hot day in the NYC metro area and I decided to invite friends to an early Summer Solstice dinner party in the garden. My husband is grilling and making strawberry cake and I made lavender lemonade. I will also be making flower crowns with my friend. She’s from Portugal so I will ask her what they do in her culture.

I am from Hungary and we bake one of our traditional Christmas "cakes" with poppy seed filling, too. 😉❤

Wishing you a magical midsummer. Celebrated the solstice early with my little grove of druids in London and this was the perfect treat to enjoy as I wind down and cook dinner. Inspiring as always, thank you <3

You always get me giggling with your kink references. It's such a joy to get a new video from you when I am wondering what to do with myself for the next solstice. 🌞

Ahhh summer solstice/Litha is my favorite Sabbat. Closely followed by Beltane. Which is strange really because spring is my fave season, then summer, autumn then ugh, winter lol. Wonderful vid as always, thank you. I will be watching this regularly to get me through ugh winter months 😂❤

[happytrees]
