☀️ Litha: Southern Hemisphere Summer Solstice – The Longest Day! (Dec 21). Embrace the sun's peak power as it climbs to its highest arc, heralding summer's full bloom and the earth's generous harvest.

This vibrant Midsummer festival is your invite to honour abundance, vitality, and the wheel of the year - light's triumphant dance over the dark!

Weave floral wreaths, twirl around the maypole, feast with loved ones, and revel in communal joy under endless daylight. A gentle pause to toast warmth, growth, and the subtle shift toward balance.

The solstice peaks at 15:03 UTC on Dec 21 (1:03 AM AEST Dec 22 in Cairns & QLD), but the magic starts at midnight Dec 21. Who's ready to ignite that solar fire? Share your rituals below!

❄️ Yule: Northern Hemisphere Winter Solstice – The Shortest Day! (Dec 21). Welcome the sun's gentle return from its winter low, marking the quiet heart of the season and the promise of longer days ahead. Yule invites you to celebrate renewal, inner reflection, and the wheel of the year, as darkness softens into the spark of returning light.

Light candles in a cosy space, share warm stories, craft yule logs or sip on spiced wassail, and connect with loved ones through the longest night. Take this pause to release what no longer serves, reflect on the shadows, and nurture intentions for growth.

The solstice peaks at 15:03 UTC on Dec 21 (3:03 PM in London, 10:03 AM ET in the US), but the magic unfolds from midnight Dec 21. Who's ready to embrace the light's quiet comeback? Share your rituals below!

Celebrating Litha/Summer Solstice at Home with Family 💛☀️

We gathered in the garden for a cosy bonfire, where everyone took part in a basil wish ritual: one spoonful of dried basil for each personal wish, offered into the flames to manifest abundance and growth.

At the height of summer's power, we embrace prosperity, vitality, and inner strength. We cleansed the home with sage and palo santo to clear away any lingering stagnation, then infused the space with vibrant citrine crystal energy for renewed positivity.

Blessed Litha to all! 🌿🔥

Today was truly a glorious day, made even more special by this beautiful handwritten letter and heartfelt gift I received from a wonderful customer, who, since our very first meeting, has become a very dear friend. ❤️

I'm so incredibly blessed to cross paths with such amazing souls on their journeys. There's something magical about those deep connections that happen when two people truly see each other, beyond the surface.

Here's what she wrote (it's too touching not to share):

"Lina ♡
Kindness
Changes
Everything.

You are such a beacon of light ♡

Truly believe my angels led me to you. Your grace, kindness and love is felt deeply, and I know not just by me. In a world of chaos and lessons, you bring a pause - a moment if you will - to be reminded that connection is everything and to embrace the earth and to look past the reality of 'life'.

Truly an incredible woman ♡

Wishing you a magical start to your year! Ready to sprinkle your fairy love dust everywhere ♡

UNDERSTANDING THAT
failure IS NOT THE
OPPOSITE OF success,
IT'S PART OF SUCCESS

Love
♡"

🙏❤️

🌸🌙 Align with nature's sacred rhythms – we're woven into them: summer's vibrant abundance, autumn's tender release, winter's deep reflection, and spring's joyful renewal.

By honouring these cycles of light and shadow, we reclaim innate balance and awaken our highest potential. In winter's shadow work, face fears, release limiting beliefs, and elevate vibrations to thrive toward summer. Like a tree strengthening roots to grow and bear fruit, we cultivate trust in the journey to bloom boldly – as we are meant to!
