As the Wheel of the Year turns, we arrive at Litha, the Summer Solstice — the longest day and the peak of solar power. It’s a fiery portal of abundance, joy, sensuality, and manifestation. The earth is bursting with life, and we’re invited to celebrate our own inner radiance.
This is not just a day — it’s a whole vibe. Think barefoot in the grass, golden light through wildflowers, laughter, spells under the sun, and the delicious energy of a universe saying yes.
Let’s talk crystals, rituals, and some lush plant allies to help you channel this solstice energy into real, juicy magic.
Crystals for Litha Energy
These stones carry the solar pulse and open the door to your power, confidence, and full bloom energy.
Citrine
The ultimate abundance magnet. Citrine stokes the solar plexus and calls in wealth, joy, and self-worth. Place it on your altar or in your wallet during your Litha rituals.
Carnelian
Fuel your fire. Carnelian brings creative flow, sexual energy, and motivation. Use it in rituals or wear it for courage and vibrancy.
Sunstone
The stone of the divine masculine and solar radiance. It supports confidence, leadership, and pleasure. Meditate with sunstone to light up your personal power.
Amber
Ancient sunlight frozen in time. Amber connects you to ancestral wisdom and natural cycles, especially if you’re doing womb or lineage healing this solstice.
Tiger’s Eye
Perfect for grounding that Litha energy and turning bold ideas into action. Use it in abundance rituals to anchor your intentions into the physical.
Litha Rituals with Crystals
Here’s a few ways to soak in the magic:
Sunrise Gratitude Ritual
At dawn, place citrine and sunstone in the sun. As it rises, speak your gratitude aloud, one breath per blessing. Let the stones charge up with solar energy.
Abundance Crystal Grid
Build a crystal grid with citrine, carnelian, and pyrite in a sunburst pattern. Place a written intention in the centre — something bold and joyful. Leave it out in the light all day.
Bonfire Manifestation
If you can safely light a fire (or a candle), hold tiger’s eye and speak aloud what you’re ready to call in. Burn herbs or a list of fears you’re releasing. Step forward like the sun itself.
Plant Allies for the Solstice
Litha is all about working with the land — especially plants that carry fire and fertility.
St. John’s Wort
A classic solstice herb for protection and joy. Dry the flowers and place them on your altar, or infuse them into oil to anoint your solar plexus.
Calendula
Sunshine in flower form. Use calendula in your tea or bath with citrine to attract joy and healing.
Lavender & Rosemary
For clarity, peace, and sacred boundaries. Burn them in a solstice bundle with mugwort and let the smoke clear your energy before ritual.
Modern Witch Tip
You don’t have to be out in the woods to celebrate Litha. If you’re in a flat in the city or just feeling a bit cooked, create a mini sun altar with citrine, a yellow candle, a little bowl of herbs, and a crystal grid. Your magic is just as potent.
Final Thoughts
Litha reminds us that we are the light — not just receivers, but radiators of it. It’s a time to be big, bold, and heart-open. Work with your crystals, your plants, your body, and your joy. Let this solstice spark something wild and golden inside you.
Blessed Litha, babe.
May your magic burn bright.
