Litha Activities
*Tie a sprig of rowan, a sprig of rue, and three flowers of St.
John's Wort with red thread and hang over the door.
*Make amulets (simple charms) of protection out of herbs such as rue
and rowan. If you make new amulets each year, you can dispose of
the old in the midsummer fire, but we like to simply recharge the
old one for another year until it starts to deteriorate, then burn
it.
*Create a pouch for psychic dreams (mugwort and bay leaves in a
cloth of lavendar, blue, or yellow and sewn with red thread) and
place under your pillow.
*Make a Solar Wheel as a terrific family project - everyone can make
one for their bedroom. Wind palm or grape vine into a circle,
twisting as you go. Cut two short lengths of stem to be just a bit
larger than the diameter of the circle and place one across the back
horizontally and the other vertically crossing in back of the
horizontal one and coming forward to the front of the circle to
secure both, then adorn with symbols of the elementals (stone,
feather, ashes in a pouch or a small candle, and a shell) and
festoon with yellow ribbons.. Hang in a tree outside or indoors as a
reminder of the God's protection.
*Make a Witch's Ladder (another fun family project) using three
colored yarns (red, black, and white for the Triple Goddess) braided
together to be three feet long. Add nine feathers all the same
color for a specific charm, tie ends and hang up. Colors are red
for vitality, blue for peace and protection, yellow for alertness
and cheer, green for prosperity, brown for stability, black for
wisdom, black and white for balance, patterend for clairvoyance, and
iridescent for insight.
*You can burn the old Yule wreath in the Litha fire.
*Make a rue protection pouch out of white cotton. Add two or three
sprigs of rue, bits of whole grain wheat bread, a pinch of salt, and
two star anise seeds and hang indoors (can do one for each bedroom).
*Tie vervain, rosemary, and hyssop with white thread and dip the
tips into a bowl of spring water (you can buy bottled spring water
in grocery stores) and sprinkle the water about the house to chase
out negativity, or sprinkle your tools to cleanse and purify.
*Gather herbs like St. John's Wort, vervain and yarrow.
*Soak thyme in olive oil, then lightly anoint your eyelids to see
the fairy folk at night.
*Tie a bunch of fennel with red ribbons and hang over the door for
long life and the protection of the home.
*Look for the fairy folk under an elder tree, but don't eat their
food or you'll have to remain with them for seven years (which I
suppose would be a lot of fun unless you have other plans!).
