Summer Solstice is also known as Litha. It’s on June 20th in 2020 and 2021. Our song Celebrate Summer depicts pagans greeting the solstice dawn, then enjoying dancing and drumming throughout the longest day.

Our song Bring the Rain is a prayer to the Goddess of the Rain to bring the much-needed storms.
