Litha, or the Summer Solstice, is one of the four solar festivals, celebrating the height of the season. Summer Solstice, of course, celebrates the height of summer: the longest day of the year. This solstice is about honoring the vibrant, healing energy of the sun. But it’s also about honoring the duality of light and dark as we start to shift into the days getting shorter.

Divine feminine energy has a lot of names: yin, lunar, shakti, and passive, to name a few. But they’re all the same thing. Divine feminine energy is the goddess energy within.
